FYI - For Your Information

Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.-Mark 12:18-27***Isaac was the only child born to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai).  When Abraham was preparing to sacrifice Isaac as an offering, according to the command of the Lord God, Abraham reasoned that the Lord God was able to raise Isaac from the dead. From heaven, the angel of the Lord told Abraham not to slay Isaac. When Isaac was 40 years old, Abraham sent his top servant to Abraham's family members in northern Mesopotamia to bring back a maiden for Isaac to marry. Abraham assured the servant that the Lord God would send his angel beforehand and the journey would be profitable. The servant returned to Canaan with Rebekah, and Isaac and Rebekah were married. During the 20th year of the marriage, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. When Jacob obeyed Rebekah and deceived Isaac and cheated Esau, Isaac sent Jacob to Rebekah's family members in Haran, Padan Aram, in northern Mesopotamia. During Jacob's 7th year in Haran, Jacob became married to Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel, the daughters of Rebekah's brother Laban the Syrian (Aramean). During Jacob's 20th year in Haran, Jacob prepared to leave and return to Canaan. Jacob spoke to Leah and Rachel and told them that the angel of the Lord had spoken to him and given him instructions. When Jacob was journeying with Leah, Rachel, and maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah, and their children Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Dinah, and Joseph, and a multitude of servants, animals, and possessions, Jacob encountered and saw the angels of the Lord. When Jacob was 130 years old, he moved with his family from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Joseph was second-in-command. When Jacob was 147 years old, he died in Egypt and his family buried his body in Canaan. Sometime after 110-year-old Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Miriam and her younger brothers Aaron and Moses were from the tribe of Levi. When Moses was 80 years old, the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a bush that was afire. After the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Egypt and Pharaoh, the king to Egypt, Moses and 83-year-old Aaron led the Israelites, and those with them, away from Egypt. The angel of the Lord was in front of the Israelites, and the Lord God assured Moses that there would be an angel in front of the Israelites during their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land. Over 1,400 years after Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, 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 into the tribe of Judah 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, from the tribe of Levi. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. 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, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Before Jesus was born, and after 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, the Sadducees were a notable sect among the Israelites. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Sadducees believed there was no spirit, angel, or resurrection.-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, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel 1:1-3:21, 8:1-31:13, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, 10:1-29:30, 2 Chronicles, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 4:1-5:42, 23:1-35, Hebrews 11:1-40

Reference Scriptures: 
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.-Exodus 3:4-6

If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.-Deuteronomy 25:5-6
