John Chapter 5, Verse 28
From BibleWiki
28: Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all
that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
28: Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in
the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God.
Marvel not. Do not wonder or be astonished at this.
The hour is coming. The time is approaching or will be.
All that are in the graves. All the dead, of every age and nation. They are described as in the graves. Though many have turned to their native dust and perished from human view, yet God sees them, and can regather their remains and raise them up to life. The phrase all that are in the graves does not prove that the same particles of matter will be raised up, but it is equivalent to saying all the dead. See Barnes "1Cor 15:35ff".
Shall hear his voice. He will restore them to life, and command them to appear before him. This is a most sublime description, and this will be a wonderful display of almighty power. None but God can see all the dead, none but he could remould their frames, and none else could command them to return to life.
