Thank you Pastor Bohr . Just wondering if women were called to sacrifice lambs in the sanctuary , in the Old Testament ? Or was it the duty of men only ??? Cheers Pat nz
Just a question regarding the first fruits... If Jesus was the first fruits along with those who were resurrected from the graves at His resurrection then as you rightly put it - those who were resurrected with Him, went with Jesus to heaven, when He went to present Himself to the Father (Along with the first fruits). My question is - How is it possible then that many people witnessed the graves being opened and saw those who were risen with Christ - yet this resurrection took place just at sunrise.... How could those who were resurrected with Jesus be seen by others and walked and talked with them when they were taken to heaven .... (They couldnt have spent much time on Earth as they left with Jesus. ) How is this possible?
The Bible didn't day they spend a long time on earth. Nor many people "witnessed the graves being opened and saw those who were risen with Christ". as you said. The bible says. Matthew 27:53 "And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." They raised up, went into the city, and talked with many people before 9 (it could be a short talk). And then were lifted up to heaven. ---- These went into the city, and appeared unto many, declaring, “Christ has risen from the dead, and we be risen with him.” Some were terrified at the sight. They bore the most undeniable evidence not only of their own resurrection, but of the resurrection of the crucified Redeemer. CRT 286.3
