Near the end of the last chapter of the Gospel of John, after the Lord's resurrection, Jesus gives Peter a prophecy of how Peter will die, in verse 18; then, in the next verse, Jesus said: Follow me.
In the next three verses, we read these words:
Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
Now that we know that Lazarus is the disciple whom Jesus loved, Peter's question to the Lord is about Lazarus: what shall this man do?
A question many people have is this: did Lazarus die a second death?
Is it possible, however, that Jesus allowed Lazarus to continue living, to have sons, and that Lazarus is still alive on the earth today?
Is it also possible that Christ has kept the identity of Lazarus hidden for centuries?
As Jesus said to Peter, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
The 11th chapter of the Gospel of John is a story about the resurrection of Lazarus by Jesus of Nazareth. But this chapter of John is also a prophecy of things to come.
Lazarus is of the bloodline of Eleazar, son of Aaron, and the Priesthood of Levi. Martha and Mary are also of this same bloodline.
Martha represents the House of Judah.
Mary represents the House of Israel.
Lazarus is the Priest of Levi, though the Priesthood of Levi was not functioning in Israel during the time of Jesus.
Jesus is the King of Israel, and in the 11th chapter of the Gospel of John, the King is coming to raise up the royal priesthood and to reunite the House of Judah and the House of Israel: to put the family back together again.
The sisters, Martha and Mary, sent word to the King and said, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
Later, we are told that he whom thou lovest is asleep, that he is dead, and that he stinks.
Israel turned its back against God. Israel turned its back against the Son of God. And Israel locked arms with pagan Rome and has been working in a secret conspiracy with Rome and against the church of Christ for nearly 2000 years. Therefore, Israel went to sleep, Israel died, and Israel stinks because of its association with evil men, which has produced spiritual contamination all over the world through the false church of Rome, to which Israel bows, even to this day.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
When the King returned to Bethany, he raised up Lazarus, the priest, and thereby reunited the House of Judah (Martha) and the House of Israel (Mary) and the family was together again.
In the latter day, the King is coming to restore the House of Israel and the House of Judah, and the Jews and the Israelites will be a happy family as they will acknowledge Jesus the Messiah, who is Christ the Lord.
Likewise, the King is coming for the church, for the redeemed of the Lord.
Who, then, should proclaim that the King is coming?
Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; and gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distress. (Psalm 107: 2-6)
