I was reading in 2 Kings 13 20-21 where the prophet Elisha died and was buried. The land was full of people who were defiled by “unclean ” spirits in those days and they raided and robbed others at will. The people who were of GOD were at a greater risk due to their beliefs. As a man was being buried a group of robbers appeared so the burial crew , in a haste , threw the dead man into Elisha’s tomb . As soon as the dead man touched Elisha’s bones he came back to life and stood on his own feet. Praise GOD!!!
In my humble opinion if word had been spread about this event with any good measure the people of the region would have brought all of their dead to Elisha’s grave to be “born again ” . I personally believe that if the people had learned about the “Anointed Man Of GOD ” and confessed in their hearts their belief while they were still alive that Death , in their cases , would have no sting!!! All that they needed was knowledge in their hearts that GOD had given them a provision to overcome Death!!!Thank GOD!!!
That is why in these days it is so important to tell the world about JESUS!!! GOD has given us a provision to overcome Death and we are commissioned to spread the “Good News” in the fullness of time according to HIS plan.
Do not worry of when the “end of the world ” will come . If you are reading this ; “your” time is near!!! Rejoice in that fact. I know that I do!!!
As for Death; what Death??? Just throw me on the bones of JESUS!!!!!!! Mark
