I would like to offer my condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Jeptha Marchant Gates, Sr. John 5;28 “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out.” Lazarus’ resurrection and that of others recorded in the Bible let us know what will take place on a global scale in the new world, a new earth.
