Worldwide Church of God

Are those saints who arose about the time of Christ's resurrection still alive? It is a common conception, often taken for granted, that the saints who arose shortly after Christ are still alive. But what does the Bible say? First or all, let us get the picture clearly in mind. This incident, recorded in Matthew 27:52, 53, reads as follows: "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." These were not the first nor the only people to be restored to life from the dead. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
