Resurrected or Revived?If Lazarus (picture) was resurrected, why is he not still here today? [According to Hebrews 9:27 “it is appointed unto men once to die.”] He should be still walking the Earth right now. He died once and was “resurrected,” so he shouldn’t have died again. If he is not here now, he must not have resurrected. He must have died and been revived.Some special people have the power to revive or send electrical currents from their body into another; they can revive the dead. This is the case with Jesus who revived, not resurrected, Lazarus. Was Jesus the only scriptural reviver?No, Elijah had the power to bring the dead back to life with the Heavenly Father’s permission.1 Kings 17:21-24:: King James Version (KJV) - “And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child’s soul come into him again. And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.”Also, Elijah’s servant Elisha was able to revive after he received a “double portion” of Elijah’s spirit when he ascended (2 Kings 2:9-11). The first account is in 2 Kings 4:32-34, and another is in 2 Kings 13:20-21. Excerpted from The Resurrection by Dr. Malachi Z. York
