Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
Don't be shocked by what I just said, there's a moment coming when everyone who's ever died will hear his voice calling them.
Death isn't the final word, there's a wake-up call coming for everyone.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, Jesus is in Jerusalem and has just healed a man on the Sabbath, which provoked conflict with the Jewish religious leaders who accused him of breaking the law. He responds by explaining his divine authority and introducing the concept of a future resurrection, building on Jewish beliefs about the end times. This teaching occurs in a first-century context where ideas of resurrection were debated among Jewish groups, emphasizing God's ultimate judgment.
