Secrets from Beyond The Grave

Sea Scrolls. These ancient scrolls and thousands of small parchments were discovered in jars and caves in the Qumran community. They were believed to have been written by a group of religious men called the Essenes. In order to determine which small piece of parchment linked with other pieces, the researchers tested the DNA on the animal skins the ink was written on, and thus they have matched certain pieces of small parchment with their counterparts, indicating they came from the same animal!6 At the resurrection, will God re-create from the dust another person, and the body be raised to join the spirit of the dead that Christ brings with Him? Will the spirit that comes from paradise head toward the location of the dust of the dead and rejoin a new body and then return to the air where we who are living will rise to meet them? It is interesting to note that one small speck the size of the head of a pin from a hair follicle, fingernail, or a decayed piece of dust can actually hold the genetic information of a person. Thus, one speck of DNA from the dust has all the information needed to re-create someone who has passed! Years ago I did a study to show how one speck of DNA can hold enough information to re-create a person. I was criticized for this statement by someone who pointed out that under certain circumstances DNA can be altered, changed, or destroyed. One way DNA can be destroyed is through intense fire and heat. Thus the critic asserted that my DNA theory could not possibly apply to someone whose DNA was destroyed. Paul called the resurrection a mystery: "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed" (1 Cor. 15:51). If the apostle Paul--who penned thirteen dynamic New Testament books, made known revelations that had been hid in ages past, and revealed several mysteries to the church for the first time--says the resurrection is a "mystery," then how can I--or anyone else--explain the mysteries linked to the raising of the dead? Will You Know Your Loved Ones? Someone asked, "If it is true that we will be known at the resurrection as we were before we died, then why didn't Mary recognize Christ after He was raised from the dead?" When the women arrived at the tomb and found it empty, they assumed someone had broken the Roman seal, moved the massive rolling stone, and stolen the corpse. Here is the conversation, recorded in John 20:11-17 (KJV): But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, and seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Christ had only been dead three days. How could this woman, Mary, who was with Him throughout His ministry, not recognize Him? Remember, she actually thought He was still dead, and the corpse was missing, so she was not expecting this man to be Christ. Also, Christ was buried without garments or cloths (only a loincloth). He was now appearing fully clothed, and
