| Shocking Discovery and facts about Luke 16:19, The Rich Man and Lazarus |
In Luke 16:19, in which Jesus tells us about the rich man and Lazarus, there is a very interesting point and fact.
Why did Jesus add this in to his story? The rich man begs Abraham: 'Then, I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house
for I have five brothers -in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
What would be the point of Jesus adding in this verse in his story?
My Answer is.
It could only be a story of real events, and an accurate representation of an actual place.
And if this is the case as it can only be, then the Lazarus in Luke 16:19 is the one and same person as Lazarus, brother of Mary and Martha raised by Jesus in John 11.
Lazarus, after being raised sends the message from the rich man to Annas the High priest, the ruling power behind the Sadducees responsible later for the arrest, trial and crucifixion of Jesus. Annas is the father of 5 sons who met Jesus face to face and wanted Jesus dead.
Did Jesus grant the rich man's request? I believe so, by raising Lazarus' soul back from Hades into his dead body to then warn the rich man's father in law Annas the High priest, and his five sons being his brother in - laws, from hell.
In Luke 16:31 Abraham gives a prophecy saying,
And he said to him, if they will not hear Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if one from the dead should rise.

Interestingly we read that Annas and his mob now wanted Lazarus dead. So, the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, John 12:10
Lazarus in Luke 16:19 who must and can only be Lazarus in John 11 which can only be a definition of a 'true to life' story.
What do you believe?
