You are changing John 5:28-29 to make it fit your doctrine. Jesus said that ALL of the dead will be resurrected in the same hour that He said is coming. You change that to only SOME of the dead being resurrected when that hour comes.
When you say all the dead, you are changing Jesus' words and intent, also.
Jesus said all those in their graves.
You then insert "all the dead" from all time.
Jesus is not implying all the dead from all time will still be in their graves. You are inferring that onto the text. In fact Jesus covered the dead in verse 25:
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live."
The dead could already live, and even come out of their graves, as Lazarus was the prime example, that that could happen then, not some future singular hour.
Daniel said many would come out of their graves at one point, inferring that some had already come out at various times, thus not all at one single time.
The point being none would be left in their gaves at that last hour. So all in their graves would come forth, but not all the dead, as many were already resurrected thousands of years earlier.
All the OT redeemed, waiting in Abraham's bosom, left their graves, when Jesus declared, "It is finished". Matthew said many appeared in Jerusalem. Not all the OT redeemed appeared in Jerusalem, but all, over the entire earth came out of their graves and all ascended on Sunday morning into Paradise. Lazarus came out prior to the Cross, to set an example, and would have also ascended Sunday morning.
The OT redeemed were many, but not all the dead. All the redeemed were resurrected. In Revelation 20:4 all the beheaded were resurrected, but still not all the dead as the rest had to wait another 1000 years after waiting over 2000 years since the Cross. Many had waited for thousands of years prior to the Cross.
All still in their graves have to wait until John 5:28. Those who already left their graves are included in the dead who hear Jesus calling them, and have been resurrected / made alive already.
Daniel is stating either of 2 points:
1. Many will still be able to be redeemed at the very end.
2. Daniel is being vague, and cannot see some resurrected thousands of years earlier, because Daniel was never explaining the Cross, nor the Millennial Kingdom of Jesus on the earth, so does not explicitly address those points.
Daniel was not declaring doctrine, either way.
Thus Daniel is not explicitly saying
all, but saying many, as that was a Holy Spirit thought, and not some point of doctrine or eschatology, that many here teach. Obviously all that are still in their graves will come forth. Some even to everlasting life, which you all seem to think goes against a second chance, at the last moment unto redemption. Can you provide a verse that explicitly claims one cannot be redeemed after thousands, even up to 6000 years after being in sheol?
Even your view contradicts Scripture. You have people as souls in heaven, and then their body is still them in the grave on earth. How can they be two places at once? Either one is made alive in heaven or still in their grave, not in heaven. No one is two places at the same time. Jesus said let the dead bury the dead. Obviously one form is physical and one spiritual. The spiritual dead bury their physical dead. A redeemed person in heaven is neither spiritually dead, nor physically dead, as the hour has already come that they were made eternally alive. The redeemed never taste death, nor can they be in their graves waiting for a resurrection. Only spiritually dead people are placed physically in the grave awaiting a resurrection. And some of those will obtain eternal life at the GWT, because that is what Daniel inferred. Daniel could not infer that the redeemed would still be dead, so he pointed out many, and not all would need a resurrection.
Matthew 8:22
"But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."
Luke 9:60
"Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God."
John 8:51
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death."
"Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death."
Jesus is not saying they will not physically die. He is saying that physical death is not tasting death as pointed out by Job and Solomon who were of the philosophy that death was final and absolute. Those in the grave are spiritually dead and physically dead, they still taste death. Those in Paradise are neither spiritually dead nor physically dead because they are not currently tasting the result of physical death. They are just not physically on the earth. All tasted spiritual death, because that is the state from physical birth. No one was ever spiritually alive prior to physical conception. So not tasting spiritual death is impossible. Jesus was referring to tasting physical death. That means the soul was never without a physical body. You deny the teaching of Jesus and declare those in heaven are tasting physical death, by not having a physical body.
Jesus is not talking about spiritual death that some would avoid, because no human can avoid that. You complain about exegesis, and then expect people to read your mind when verses can either be referring to a spiritual state or a physical state.
A soul in sheol is not receiving spiritual death. That was the condition from conception. The soul in sheol is both physically and spiritually dead. What you miss is that those in Paradise are neither spiritually dead nor physically dead. You condemn those in Paradise to the latter state. If they are physically alive, they would have a physical body. If they never tasted death as Jesus explicitly taught, then they would have a physical body. Those already in Paradise, are not included in Daniel 12. They are not tasting physical death, and not in a grave, in the dust, waiting, as you infer, being two places at the same time, and at the Second Coming the soul meets up with the body. One is either in the dust or in Paradise. A body in the dust is not a soul waiting in sheol, nor a soul physically clothed in Paradise. The former body returns to dust and is dissolved. That body is not changed, ever. The soul changes physical bodies like a set of clothes. Even Paul declares that as being clothed upon in several places.
Jesus took His physical body to heaven which set the precedent that all in heaven were able to take their body as well. Those alive at the Second Coming don't take this body to heaven. They take the incorruptible body like the ones from heaven already have.
