AUDIO: Lazarus raised from the Dead, a prophetic foreshadowing of the restoration of 10-Israel

Primary text: John 11:1-57 (Lazarus raised from the Dead)

"While this is a literal event that happened... that Yeshua literally resurrected Lazarus, he is also prophetically foreshadowing his role to gather the exiles of Israel and portrays the attitude of Judaism and Christianity regarding it." - Eddie Chumney

This is likely one of the most profound presentations I've ever heard Eddie give... especially on this subject. If you'll commit about an hour to listen, you'll be wonderfully blessed by this teaching.

Some of the parallels Eddie puts forth for consideration:

• Lazarus resurrected is a picture of the exiles of Israel being resurrected/redeemed/restored (as seen in Ezekiel 37:1-14).
• Martha is a picture of Christianity's attitude toward the restoration of the exiles.
• Mary is a picture of Judaism's attitude toward the restoration of the exiles.
• The resurrection of the exiles will be for the glory of the Father (John 11:4, Zechariah 4:4-6).
• Removing the stone from the grave of Lazarus is a picture of the exiles having the heart of stone removed.
• The exiles will be restored at a Yom Teruah with a loud shout... as Lazarus was resurrected at the loud shout of Yeshua.
• Yeshua died to restore the exiles  (John 11:49-52) and will complete this work at His second coming.
• Many Jews (of Jew-dah) will receive Yeshua as Messiah once the exiles are resurrected... the same way many believed when Lazarus was resurrected (John 11:15,45).
