I know nothing else about that site so I'm not endorsing anything on it but only providing it for the sake of the discussion of the accounts.
Consider Elisha here:
2 Kings 4:35 (KJV)
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
Elisha stretched forth three times and the child sneezed seven times. Why do you think the Bible wants you to know what seems like petty details? - it is because these are prophetic messages.
When you read through the accounts you find the number 3 or 7 associated with each event. |
However, please keep in mind those pre-Christian resurrections, and all who died before Jesus was resurrected, had a healthy physical resurrection back to healthy life on earth, whereas God resurrected Jesus out of biblical hell to heavenly spirit life.
The resurrections Jesus performed while on earth were a small-scale preview of healthy physical resurrections.
During Jesus' coming 1000-year kingdom governmental rulership over earth the majority of people will also have a healthy physical resurrection back to life but on a beautiful paradisaical earth under Christ when sickness on earth and death on earth will end forever. - Isaiah 33:24; 25:8; 1st Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 22:2
