Acts 2:34 KJV 'For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,'
So if David had not ascended into heaven by the date of 33 AD after dying about 1000 years previously - 'King David of Israel reigned from around 1010–970 BCE. He was the second king of Israel, succeeding King Saul' - where was or is he today?
And if he had not ascendd then why do so many 'Christians' claim the dad fly off to heaven?
Also when Jesus died the earthquake broke open the tombs and some saints walked about the village. Who believes the dead were resurrected that day? who could those saints have been - local believers killed for preaching the Gospel?
The supposed tomb containing the bones of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the Cave of Machpelah with the variously modified building above it but it is 19 miles from Jerusalem so they were unlikely to be the ones in Jerusalem?
Good old Wikipedia ever ready to worship Satan claims: 'most historians believe the Abraham-Isaac-Jacob narrative to be primarily mythological.'
I would offer to begin with corrupted dying flesh and blood could never enter the new heavens and earth. It returns to dust or clay. The life of the flesh is in the blood but there can be no life without the Holy Spirit .it must be poured out to show spiritual life was given.
No dead sacrifices
David like all born again sons of God was used to demonstrate beforehand the invisible work of the Holy Father Christ who crushes the head of the serpent.
The dead asleep. Not dead never to rise
Living sacrifice . by his wounds we are healed. The dead have no power
The shortest verse ;"Jesus wept" at their lack of spiritual understanding
John 11:3;Jesus wept.
Two different parables. two different purposes. Three days and nights for Jesus and four days for Lazarus.
The Father kept the body of the Son of man Jesus and Lazarus from corrupting to the point of no return. A Living sacrifice by his wounds we are healed.
It's why a tomb above ground and not a grave (no oxygen)
Psalm 16:10 For thou wilt not leave
my soul in hell
(Suffering); neither wilt thou suffer thine
Holy One to see
corruption.( Dead to never rise)
The work as the promised outward demonstration of the Father with Son ended when the Father removed the grave clothes and rolled back the stone. Three days and night, three denoting the end of a mater
Lazarus four days. Four represents trial of suffering.
This time our Holy Father had the disciples remove the grave clothes and roll back the stone.to show our part . .a sign to the unbelieving world.
Mark 16:3-5;And they said among themselves,
Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?;And
when they looked, they
saw that
the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
John 11:39-44Jesus said,
Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time
he stinketh: for he
hath been dead four days.;Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the
glory of
God?;Then
they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.;And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth.;And he that was
dead (asleep) came forth, b
ound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto
them,
Loose him, and let him go
