Featured Lazarus Come Forth!!!!!

John 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. ........................43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.


Observe..
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall be made alive and then shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. No

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall be first regenerated and then shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Huh uh

John 5:25 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. Right!

Who "hears" the voice of the Lord? The dead.

Psalm 29
1{A Psalm of David.} Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

2Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is upon many waters.

4The voice of the LORD is powerful;

the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

5The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

6He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

7The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.

8The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

9The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

10The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.

11The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

It was the very same powerful, majestic voice of Psalm 29 that cried "let there be light", the same voice which cried "LAZARUS COME FORTH". That's how "the dead" "hear"

 

Yes sir, I read it.
It says "the...dead...shall...hear".....the voice of the Son of God
then it says "they that hear shall live".

It means that Almighty God is able to speak to the dead, sir. That means the physically dead and the spiritually dead. And if you will "give ear" to Him: "hear his voice and harden not your heart", you will live. That's what it means.

 

Saturday, my wife and I babysit grandkids and pulled 3- 16' trailer-loads of coffee weeds, Sunday afternoon, after church, we worked sheep until dark, separating them into 3 flocks and turning in the rams. It's breeding time. Today I was routing a piece of deadhead cypress on my CNC, then had to install a street/stop sign on the way home, stopped and played with the grandkids for a few minutes, got home, hopped on the tractor and worked til after dark, fed the sheep, helped my wife doctor a sick sheep, I'm tired. Tomorrow, I have to cut four more jobs on the CNC, then feed the sheep again.. I will review and look up some scriptures as I get time and a clear head,

 

Yes, I know that, and never said it was. I was showing you that the principle is the same: God's voice can be heard by the dead.

Yes, and it is talking about Christ working on the Sabbath day and having the authority and power to "quicken".

Yes, this is the verse you need to zero in on. This whole passage speaks about Christ's "having life in himself" and "quickening whom he will" etc. John 5:24 is speaking about "Passing from death unto life" from the moment one BELEIVES; NOT at the ressurrection

No sir, the very second I believed on Jesus, I "passed from death unto life" RIGHT THEN.

Sir, Just like God told Adam that he would "surely die" the Bible also says that sinners are "DEAD in trespasses and in sins. So, when this verse says "AND NOW IS", it meant that people, living people "dead in trespasses and in sins" were "passing from death unto life" as they heard the words of the Lord Jesus, BUT when it says "The hour cometh' it is speaking of the resurrection. BECAUSE it is Jesus Christ alone who has been given this authority and power.

No sir, this context is not in the "prophetic perfect". jesus was already "quickening" people at that "now is" point in time.

Now here you are contradicting yourself. You said that it was an "already/not yet" statement, but here you're saying the "now is" part is about being "spiritually resurrected". THIS statement of yours agrees with what I am trying to tell you: They were "spiritually resurrected" as you here admit, because they were DEAD in trespasses and sins. So, when people "dead in trespasses and sins" hear the "voice of the son of God" THROUGH the word of God, they are still spiritually dead and can only be "quickened" when they OBEY the voice of God by believing on His Son. That is when they ".Pass from death to life"

I did not attend a "seminary"

 

Fellas, the job I have requires intense concentration and attention which doesn't come easily for me, and I have been working long hours.. If I make a mistake, I have to pay for it.
Some of the threads I have started were because some were locked before I could answer.. Please leave this one open for a couple days and I will get back to you. Thanks very much
