The Scriptures do not furnish information as to the circumstances, place, or time of Lazarus’ death after his resurrection.

The brother of Martha and Mary; his resurrection was one of the outstanding miracles performed by Jesus Christ. Jesus had a deep love for this family living at Bethany, “about two miles” from Jerusalem on the road to Jericho. He had been entertained at their home, perhaps frequently.

The two sisters sent word to Jesus, who was at that time across the Jordan River, that their brother Lazarus was very sick. Doubtless they entertained the hope that Jesus would cure him. However, instead of going to Bethany immediately, or curing Lazarus from a distance, as in the case of the manservant of an army officer, Jesus stayed where he was for two more days. Upon his arrival in the vicinity of Bethany he was met by Martha and then by Mary. Lazarus had expired and had been dead for four days.

When speaking to Martha, Jesus took the occasion to stress the resurrection. He was soon to give added meaning to his words. Upon arriving at the tomb or cave where Lazarus was interred, Christ ordered that the stone sealing its entrance be taken away. Then in prayer to his heavenly Father, Jesus showed that one reason these events were taking place was “in order that they [the crowd present] might believe that you sent me forth.” Jesus then called the dead Lazarus out of the tomb, and he emerged, undoubtedly to the astonishment and joy of those present.

This miracle moved many to put faith in Jesus, but it also caused the chief priests and Pharisees to plot his death. The anger of the chief priests was further aroused when a great crowd of Jews came to see not only Jesus but also the resurrected Lazarus. Because of Lazarus, many Jews were putting faith in Jesus, and so the chief priests took counsel to kill Lazarus also. However, there is no Biblical evidence to the effect that these religious foes carried out their evil plans against Lazarus.

John’s account of the resurrection of Lazarus has been assailed by some critics of the Bible. They point to the silence of the other Gospel accounts regarding this event. A consideration of the various Gospels will show, however, that even the writers of the synoptic Gospels did not each recount every deed of Jesus. For example, only Luke reported the raising of the son of the widow of Nain. (Lu 7:11-15) John did not customarily repeat what others had recorded. The resurrection of Lazarus is a notable instance of this.

This miracle of Lazarus’ resurrection served well as part of Jesus’ ministry, both to illustrate the power of the Son of God and to increase faith in him and the resurrection. (Joh 11:4, 41, 42) It evidently occurred near the beginning of the year 33 C.E.

John 11:43 & 44 says: "And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz′a·rus, come on out!” 44 The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

Obviously he came back to life on earth since he was visible to everyone there. He was in the grave, dead and even decaying, and with God's power Jesus was able to resurrect him back to life on earth.

Think about what this verse means then, and where this resurrection will be to...
John 11:21-25 "Martha therefore said to Jesus: “Lord, if you had been here my brother would not have died. 22 And yet at present I know that as many things as you ask God for, God will give you.” 23 Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” 24 Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life;

Makes what the verse at Acts 24:15 have more meaning:
"and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

God created the earth to be mankinds proper dwelling place and his purpose for the earth will be fulfilled...

Psalms 37: 9-11, 29: "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.

Peace be with you. The truth shall make you free.

Lazarus went to the rich man's house to warns the rich man's five brothers.

And the rich man saw Lazarus in the bosom of Abraham, and said will you send him to me that he may wet his finger in the water and cool my tongue,... Would you send him to my father's house that he may tell my 5 brothers of this place, and Abraham said, let your brothers hear Moses and the prophets. But Father Abraham, they would believe if some one who rose from the dead told them.

And Jesus said; Lazarus come forth, and Lazarus came forth from the dead.

Home. He might have stopped off at the market to get some groceries, but that's just conjecture. He was raised back to life physically, not as a spirit being, in case that's what you meant...

Home for supper no doubt. Wouldn't you be hungry after being dead 4 days?
