OPEN GRAVES

Opened graves
On that morning of the resurrection, beyond what we have been schooled or accustomed to believe, far from what we have imagined, a day like no other, it was indeed a dawn of the dead. Scripture has it that "Graves were opened and the bodies of saints who slept arose"
This is no myth or some foreseen prophesies from the mystery book of revelation. No! This was an actual event that took place on the resurrection morning as risen saints made their way to light. My attention is often drawn not to what happened up here but what happened down stairs. The prison break was a shocker, all those under house arrest in Abraham's estate all gone-
Hell's got a simple glimpse of lucifa's weakness,
"God became flesh and blood, think about it, became "man", was found guilty, crucified as a criminal, damned to Hell...that was our opportunity to born the creator, but he comes all the way here only to rub it on our faces...made a quick getaway like a one-man army...reminding you that you are, and will always be...Loosers!!!!...now all hopes dashed AGAIN" Lucifa laments before his subjects...
"I never cease to wonder how he broke all security codes as though he is the architect, how you all could stand clueless in all these as though you were nothing but lifeless artifacts, I never cease to wonder how he swiftly walked in and out as though He has been here before"
"He has..." interrupted the Analyst
"He has been here before in the person of lazarus...that rat of a boy was a spy, he must have told the saints to brace up, telling them that the kingdom of God is established on earth, they were hopeful...think about it, it took Jesus 3 days to respond to a brother, a friend that he so loved...after he was told that Lazarus had fallen asleep, such was a conscious effort to buy more time for the private eye Lazarus, when that rat came here feeling gangster I knew he was up to something"
There came a sudden glow of insight in Lucifa's eyes, as he spoke in solemn tone, "Lazarus was his forerunner to the underworld as John came preparing the way for him on earth..."
"It was well planned, calculated and executed with arethimetic precision"
the Analyst cuts in sharply,
"they said he brought the good news here all scripted on his body, the nail injuries on his palm and feet to his turn flesh...he came here himself as an evidence that their crimes and sins were fully paid for..."
"Enough!"
the Devil objected in volcanic  rage, "Burn down Jerusalem, kill them all even before they have the opportunity to hear that good news, abduct more souls into hell even more than he has rescued..."
So the Devil resolved to plan B, to re-populate Hell with human souls.
In 70CE "Jerusalem was so thorough razed down by those that demolished it to it's foundation..." approximately 9 years latter Pompeii along Herculaneum was destroyed and buried under volcanic eruption of Mount vesuvius, thousands of souls were lost.
Then came along wars and more rumours of it...the church was plunged into mindlessly and barbaric persecutions.
Today plan B is more than ever re-enforced...let them here the good news but blind their eyes of understanding, even if they do let them link it to their self effort and not Him...
I write this to counter his plan B, I write to take your eyes back to the cross and the power of his prevailing grace, the resurrected Christ is the evidence that your sins were fully paid for, he paid for your prosperity, your divine healing, for you to enjoy heaven on earth...when indeed we could not help ourselves.
