I noticed that you guys after such a long time studying the scriptures still cannot see the difference between brought back to life and the resurrection. There is a big difference between the two.
Revival
Lazarus was brought back to life by Jesus (revived) in the flesh, but he will die again.
The saints that came out of their graves during the crucifixion, they were not resurrected, but they are brought back to life in the flesh because they will die again. The scriptures say that the graves were opened and the saints came out of their graves (in the flesh, not spirit)
So, the remnant of the Jews also will be revived according to God's choice. According to election. They will be revived in the flesh. God said I will bring you back to your land. Rachael and her children also will be brought back, not resurrected in spirit, but brought back to their land in the flesh. They are obviously one of the remnants. Rachael is depicted as the mother of the children that were destroyed by King Herod in the days of Jesus. (Rachael is Jacobs 2nd wife)
The Resurrection
When one is resurrected, one will be spirit, and will never die again and will inherit the kingdom. No one is resurrected before Jesus's resurrection. Jesus is the first fruit and so we will be like him when we are resurrected in spirit, reigning with him for a thousand years. Reigning amongst the remnant of Israel for a 1000 years. This goes with the saying "The first will be last, and the last will be first" Israel was first, the gentiles were last, but the gentiles will get their reward first.
Jesus spoke a parable mentioning this, regarding workers in the field that came last at the eleventh hour and will get their reward (pay) first. And the ones that were hired first, will get their reward last. (Matthew Chapter 20)
Cannot mix the two... revival & resurrection, because they are different.
