Listener Feedback and Mt 27:52f

Ed Stevens
Every few months we accumulate a good supply of emails from listeners asking questions and making comments. This is always high interest content and extremely helpful for a lot of other listeners who have the same questions. There are several comments and questions about the differences between the two resurrection views within Preterism: the Collective Body versus the Individual Body. The final question deals with the resurrection of those saints who were raised at the same time as Jesus, which is only mentioned in Matthew 27:52-53. We quote a number of commentaries, including Calvin, who suggest that those saints were raised immortal, and after appearing in Jerusalem for forty days, ascended to heaven with Jesus, thus implying that this resurrection was "the first resurrection" (Rev 20:4-5).
