Why God Waited Four Days Before He Came to the Grave | Deep Bible

Almost everyone reads the four days at Bethany as a delay. The account is far more careful about the clock than that, and one Greek word spoken at the mouth of the tomb rearranges the whole scene. This Deep Bible study looks at the ancient Jewish belief that the soul stayed near the body for three days, and at why the fourth day was the first day standing outside every shape of rescue those people had been handed. You will see the connector English flattens, the one word category Martha actually used, and the pattern running through three raisings that almost nobody points out. 00:00 deep bible 05:33 jesus wept 10:45 john 11:35 14:29 raising of lazarus 18:07 lazarus is raised from the dead If this Deep Bible look at the original language helped, there is more of it waiting here.
