yashua1970:
MATTHEW 27:51-53
51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split.
52 The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
53 They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.



Hello
Why has this event not been written down by any other historian except what is found in the bible?
No records record this event at all. In all truth this would have been the greatest event to have taken place at that time and would have been written down by many people for the simple fact that many who had died had come back to life. Surely there is other testimony to this event?

Any thoughts on this?

YellowStone:
Good question yashua1970 :)

I of course cannot give you a diffinitive answer, but here are some possible thoughts.


* It was recorded but all records other than those of Mathew were lost.
* Because of shame, the then historians did not want to preserve this event and refused to record it
* They were ordered by Caesar or (PP) to destroy all evidence of the event
* It is God's intention that the event either not be recorded or the other records lost
No guessing which one I believe is correct. Nothing has ever happened apart from the will of God.

May I ask you a question, why do you think that God wanted only Mathew's recorded account and no other?

Pretty much the same question, just from a different perspective.

Well, that's my thoughts :)

Love to all.

Could these verses in Romans be talking about that event?

Rom 1:3-4 Rotherham
(3)  Concerning his Son,—who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,
(4)  Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of the dead,—Jesus Christ our Lord;

If this is indeed talking about the event in Mat 27:51-53, this would be a second witness.

Peace,

Andy

Re: Matt 27:52

Psalm68:20 "He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto God the Lord belong the issues from death."

and

Deut 32:39 "See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive: I wound and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand."

quote from yashua1970: Surely there is other testimony to this event?
Is there any other testimony required than that what Jesus gives us?

Love and peace,

Marie, Andy :)

I might be mistaken, but I believe yashua1970 was talking primarily about the reference to the tearing of the curtain in the temple from top to bottom. I know that this is not mentioned by any of the other writers of the Greek Scriptures. I also believe that he was also reffering to the reference of the tombs being opened and the bodies of many of the holy people were raised to life, walked into the citie and appeared to many.

This too is not recorded explicitly else where by any other writer.

I agree with yashua1970 that these verses (51-53) are not mentioned else where, at least not the curtain and certainly none of the holy ones raised by name.

Why do you think God only wanted Mathew to record these events and no other?

If I got the question wrong, please correct me! :)

Love to all,

Darren
