Many people who answered my previous question ask me to provide additional info so I am going to state the question again with a link on the bottom for reference.*
When Jesus died on the cross it is stated that the ground opened and all the dead who died while Jesus was alive rose from the dead and walked among the living for three days in view of everyone and than were taking up to heaven.
Hence why he has followers 2000 years later.
The Bible also calls for the second coming of Jesus accompanied by the second resurrection.
Is this a common belief and if not why not?
*"“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his [Jesus’] resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, ‘Truly this was the Son of God.’”
