How many resurrections?
the graves were opened; and many bodies of
the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy
city and appeared to many. - Mt 27:52, 53
Where did they go?
When He ascended on high, He led captivity
captive, and gave gifts to men. - Ephesians 4:8 also in Psalm 68:18 Who are the
24 Elders in Revelation 4:4; 5:8-14? Could they be those who were raised at the
time Christ was raised plus Moses, Enoch and Elijah.
And they lived and reigned with Christ a
thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand
years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over
such the second death has no power, but they shall be priest of God and Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
