What rises from dead? Spirit only, when you've been dead a few times you get used to it. Pile up the blocks again, theirs nothing else to do. Eternal blocks, eternal dark, the end is always near. Repent.![]()
In every generation there are many prophecies or foretellings: derived from revelations and from hadiths or from words ascribed to prophets.
E.g. When John Baptist started to call people to repent and be ready for the Next Life, and many sinners went to him and he prayed God for their behalf and they repented and washed in the Jordan River.
So his acts were taken into consideration by people and by the rabbis at his time, then a delegation went to ask him.
At that time there were three prophecies about persons: important persons or apostles or messengers:
These three personalities had not appeared yet, but the prophecy about them was circling among the public and people anticipate their coming; these three persons were:
1- The Christ (or the Messieh)
2- The Prophet (or Prophet Mohammed)
3- Elia of the Last Days (or Ali: Mohammed-Ali the Mahdi, who will be raised in the Last Days)
Therefore, a delegation out of the rabbis and scholars went to John Baptist and asked him:
Are you the Christ?
He said: No.
They said: Are you the Prophet?
He said: No.
They said: Are you Elia?
He said: No.
They said: What are you then?
He said: I am a voice crying out in the wilderness ...etc.
See this in the Gospel of John 1: 19-23:
"[19] And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
[20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
[21] And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
[22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
[23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias."
The Gospel of John (KJV King James Version)
================================================================
Also one of such prophecies or foretelling that was circling among the public was this:
A man will rise from the dead, and they knew him as Elia who will rise in the Last Days.
So after the incident of the crucifixion (in fact Jesus Christ was not crucified, but Pilate released him because he was convinced of his innocence; so he crucified another one in stead of him; that one was a criminal in prison)
Therefore when the disciples saw Jesus alive after the incident of the crucifixion, they thought they saw a spirit (this indicates clearly that Jesus did not tell them that he will be crucified then will be resurrected), so they were surprised when they saw him and they feared, but he ate food before them ..etc.
Then some people thought that he was the one meant by the prophecy: that a certain man will rise from the dead; so they applied that prophecy to him; while in fact he was not crucified neither did he rise from the dead; but Jesus was released secretly by Pilate, and then he went to Syria where he died on Quasseon mountain, so his body was buried there while his soul went back to heaven to be in the neighborhood of God Most Gracious.
