Live, yet Die and Live Again

And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.-Luke 7:11-17***Elimelech was an Israelite from Bethlehem in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. When there was a famine in Bethlehem, Elimelech moved with his wife Naomi and their sons Mahlon and Chilion to live among the idol worshiping Moabites, the descendants of Abraham and Sarah's nephew Lot and Lot's oldest daughter and their son Moab. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Elimelech died, Mahlon married Ruth and Chilion married Orpah. Ruth and Orpah were Moabites. Sometime after Mahlon and Chilion died, Naomi heard that the Lord God had visited the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Thus, Naomi prepared to return to Bethlehem. Ruth vowed to stay with Naomi and worship the Lord God, the God Naomi worshiped. In Bethlehem, Naomi married Elimelech's relative Boaz. Obed was born to Boaz and Ruth. Jesse was born to Obed. Over 1,000 years after David was born to Jesse, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah, the birth tribe of Boaz and his descendants, to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus, and the Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites throughout Judea, Galilee and the surrounding regions. Twelve disciples consistently walked with Jesus, and many others disciples followed Jesus until Jesus spoke of his flesh and blood. Jesus sent  his 12 disciples and apostles to proclaim messages regarding the kingdom of heaven and repentance and gave them authority to cure diseases, cast out evil spirits, and raise the dead, miracles they saw Jesus perform before Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven less than 3 1/2 years after he was baptized.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Ruth, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:31, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings 1:1-2:12, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 10:1-29:30, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
