The Pharisees, heard of Jesus raising dead people. But they wanted to see a fully decomposed body, recomposed and risen.
Jesus had taken this to His Father and I believe Jesus already knew the Pharisees thoughts way beforehand. God knows the future, as Jesus has clearly stated
I know the future you do not. Poem of the Man-God.
The Gospel of St. John the Beloved reveals these words. We don't contemplate the depths of these very words what it really implicates.
He was the Son of God in the Flesh Incarnate as well. The Word and Wisdom of the Father who knows all beforehand, but being in the Flesh as a Man, somethings He left hidden in regards to events. Clairvoyance. It is a mystery which only God shares with Himself. Evil exists below. Some secrets are not meant for man that is God's alone.
As some might be experiencing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit who does reveal a vast wisdom to see. This is hard for the majority who have not these Gifts. Jesus said, What I do, you can do also. Saints have raised dead souls, case in point one saint has recorded of raising 11. Some a lot less. Elijah raised one too.
Thus, the Pharisees who taught the scrolls themselves knew of Elijah's miracle. The soul had been dead a short time and not decomposed and mortified.
The Pharisees gave to Jesus this request as you will, challenging Jesus to raise a fully decomposed body in secret meeting.
Lazarus was the choice from Jesus, from the Father. Jesus asked this of Lazarus.
It is recorded it the Gospel of Jesus raising Lazarus, the sisters begging for Jesus to come and heal their brother. However in the Poem of the Man-God there is more recorded, or written.
The ensuing days of Lazarus, his sisters, crying out to Jesus for help to heal him. Lazarus's servants aiding Lazarus as he decomposed and became
mortified to a point acceptable to the Pharisees. His flesh melting, flesh falling off as it melted away. Sores appeared were as evidence.
The Pharisees came visit Lazarus to see what was taking place with Lazarus themselves, the ones who challenged Jesus.
The miracle here is twofold: Lazarus decomposing while living as a witness of God's power to decompose the body while
living and then later called back to life fully recomposed but with the evidence called sores of the decomposition.
The reality was, the Pharisees challenged Jesus in greater depth. They wanted more evidence that Jesus was truly the Messaiah, and who Jesus
said He is. They simply could not bring themselves the ones, to believe and accept.
Lazarus started decomposing prior while living. His servants and his sisters were removing melted flesh. Everything was dying in him --the flesh-- affecting his mind, will and sentiments.
It is flesh. The soul is being affected in great ways here.
The stench of flesh rotting away was present. Jesus waited 4 days. 4 days of Lazarus in the sepulcher, before recomposing the flesh and bringing his soul back to his body.
4 days in the grave or sepulcher, by then, his body was very decomposed and the stench.
The Pharisees visited often to witness this death and decomposition.
Then after 4 days, Jesus called all these challengers to witness the raising of Lazarus from the pit.
Jesus's voice echoed off the walls reverberating bouncing back and forth so loud that I would be in great shock if those outside of Bethany had not heard nor felt the shock waves.
A powerful, Come out! I want!
The ensuing conflict increases to those who simply were ignorant while others in their ranks, changed their affiliation and came to Christ to be saved.
They witnessed this incredible event of Events.
God had to increase the speed of Lazarus's death of decomposition, quickly. Lazarus's sisters could simply not understand what was taking place.
Jesus had spoken to Lazarus in secret and Lazarus accepted the Pharisees challenge given. And Lazarus, was given a new. He trusted in God fully.
This event when contemplated, reveals a great deal. Trust, Faith, believing. Abraham had a similar experience with his own son. Sacrifice to God.
This alternate affecting of those who simply hated, gave them more hatred. It is strange to understand this at length, how a bunch of Religious
proclaiming themselves teachers of God' Law be so incredulous. But it is a truth which is negative results. Unfortunate.
For Lazarus was Jesus's dear friend who then became a living witness of the power of Christ's life, and words. The Word and Wisdom of the Father.
From a human perspective there are definitely other thoughts about this, which scrutinizes. This is unfortunate. However each has their own free will
to use to come to a resulting conclusion which God does not violate one's thinking.
It is the power of God, that to those who believe fully, God is able to do anything. He made us and all that we see and do witness out there in the Universe
a Father of Goodwill beyond any.
These miracles do not take place today, it seems, may have in small pockets where a man of God is of God but for the larger crowd, there is lacking faith in God and is at a low. Love for God is not as powerful as to be anticipated.
Peace be with you always
