Was God Speaking Only To The Dead?
Q. Re: According To The Lord’s Own Word. Isaiah 26:19-21, appears to be speaking to the dead only. Would these Isaiah passages coincide with Matthew 27:52-54?
A. I don’t agree that Isaiah was speaking only to the dead. I believe those who are being told to go to their rooms and hide for a little while are living believers. Otherwise they wouldn’t have to be hidden during the time of God’s Wrath, the purpose of which is to punish the people of Earth for their sins. Also there can’t be any connection to Matt. 27: 52-54 which took place at the time of the Resurrection. God’s Wrath didn’t follow the Resurrection.
