via Zombies And The Bible – Geeks Under Grace
Matthew 27:51-53
51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
Zombies seem to be the rage for the past several years. From top box office movies to award winning TV shows, even clothing and survival books there is no end to the undead madness. Personally, I’m not a fan of the whole craze, because it honestly doesn’t interest me. I prefer fantasy, sci-fi, comic book stories or anime, but eating people? Not my cup of tea. Yet, there are verses in the bible that suggest that the dead once rose and walked among us! I’m sure you’ve never heard your pastor teach on that one before, but look over the verse I placed above carefully and tell me if it doesn’t sound like dead saints (men and women who served God during their lives) came out of the grave and appeared before the living.
