NO ONE BUT CHRIST HAS BEEN RESURRECTED TO
IMMORTALITY TO THIS DAY -- but those in Christ will
be raised NEXT at His second coming! Jesus said that
as the Father raisea-the dead
and
made alive {quickened)
whom He would, so also would the Son do likewise (John
5:21). The answer is simply that these people, from the
Shunammite's son down to those raised at the time of
Christ•s resurrection were made physical l y alive,
undoubtedly healed of the afflictions that might have
caused their deaths prematurely. Then t hey lived out
their lives -- human .flesh and blood lives. Since they
were only mortal, and physically alive again, they must
have died.
THUS Scripture reveals that those people merely
lived out a natural human life which had been cut short,
then died and are even now awaiting the resurrection.
