It follows that to be in existence in order to be judged, Abraham and others who knew those promises must be resurrected just before the judgment. If they have not now received the promises and will only do so after their resurrection and judgment at Christ's return, there is no alternative but to accept that the likes of Abraham are now unconscious, awaiting the coming of Christ; yet stained glass mosaics in churches throughout Europe have been known to depict Abraham as now in heaven, experiencing the promised reward for a life of faith. Thousands of people for hundreds of years have filed past those pictures, religiously accepting such ideas. Will you have the Bible-based courage to step out of line?
Kinachofuata ni yeye kuwako ili kuamuliwa, Abrahamu alikuwa na wengine waliozijua ahadi hizo itabidi wafufuliwe kabla ya hukumu. ikiwa sasa hawajazipokea ahadi ya kwamba watafanyiwa hivyo tu baada ya ufufuo wao na hukumu (yaani kuamuliwa na mwamuzi) Kristo atakaporudi, halipo shauri la pili bali kufahamu kuwa walio sawa na abrahamu kwa imani hivi sasa wamelala wakiwa hawana fahamu, wakisubiri Kristo arudi; Lakini vioo vilivyotiwa picha katika makanisa ya Ulaya yote imejulikana ya kuwa Abrahamu sasa yuko mbinguni, akipata thawabu kwa ajili ya maisha ya imani Maelfu ya watu kwa miaka mamia wameweka picha hizo za zamani, kwa dini wakikubali mawazo kama haya. Je? utakuwa na ujasiri wenye misingi katika Biblia kuondika haraka nje ya hiyo jamii?
