They are in Heaven with God. What he means is that they shall never die...in their spirit/soul. There are lots of people out there that are spiritually dead inside even though they are physically alive.......lazarus was dead for 4 days in the tomb!! I mean in the KJV it even says that his body stinketh (it was decomposing) and Jesus yelled loudly...Lazarus come out!!! And he came out and they took all of the bandages and cloth off and he was alive again. Jesus can do that for us too. If we are spiritually dead...he can bring us back to llife again....no matter if it's 4 days or 40 years....time is nothing when Jesus is involved. So when you are praying for something and you neevr seem to get an answered prayer.....don't stop praying!!! Don't doubt, don't become discouraged. Because God's delays aren't God's denials!!! God can make dead things live!! When we least expect it ....our prayers get answered. God has a divine strategy that we should not question.
John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her (he was talking to Mary...Lazarus' sister) I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?
This just basically sums up what I just said.

Lazarus and "those others" died a second time and are now with Jesus in Heaven. Nothing in the Bible to say that people who were ressurected will never die. Only those who will be raised in the last ressurection which has not occured yet.

I'm sure that there were others whom Jesus raised from the dead besides Lazarus; yet Lazarus is one of the main people whom the Word of God tells us about. But Jesus did not tell Lazarus that he would never die again. Jesus did not desire for Lazarus to die at that time, but He did not tell him that he would never face earthly death again. It just was not the right time for it to happen to Lazarus. Whether the Bible tells us about it or not, I'm sure that Lazarus died at some time later. God's Word tells us that it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment. This includes me, you, and every other human being. And after we face death, we go before the judgment seat of Christ, and we are received into Heaven, or we are sentenced to eternity in Hell. So just get the understanding that the people whom you are referring to are not just missing, but they have died at some time or another, and they are either in Heaven, or they are in Hell.

The whole notion of the resurrection is misconstrued and subject to the flesh by the multitude. The resurrection must be achieved while you are alive, or when you die you gain nothing. You have to raise while you live, you have have to manifest the kingdom in the body. The resurrection is the reconstitution of ones form into its native origin, what this means is that it is an folding of being, overcoming divisions within yourself, division which signifies death, and rising to the core, or source of origination.
The bible is not a historical narrative, but a internal one.

Those that Jesus resurrected back then were brought back to life in renewed health, but were not exempt from the cycle of life. They were still normal human beings prone to die at any given time. Now, when Jesus comes his second time, those that died in Him will once again live, but this time for eternity.
"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would not have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." (John 14:2)
Yes, those who will resurrect for eternal life will go to heaven, and the only known people who have lived on earth and were taken by God to live with him in Heaven are Enoch, Moses, and Elijah.

There have been several Resurrections allowed by God to demonstrate he can and will bring many back to life. Those who were brought back for the purpose of demonstration died again.
Those who will be resurrected before judgment will have the opportunity for eternal life, but some will sin and die permanently.
The chance to live forever is conditional.
It was explained to me a while back, Jesus gained life from God, within himself. Others gain life by being "plugged in to God". Mess up, and get un-plugged.

The people that Jesus brought back to life did not get eternal life at that time. They still had to die a natural death. Except for Moses...God let him die and then brought him back to eternal life. There were some people resurrected to eternal life also when Jesus died.

Good question...the Bible says "it is appointed once for a man to die, and then the judgement" - so what DID happen to Lazarus? If it was appointed for him to die once, then he was ressurected...where is he? Most excellent question. Have a star!
Blessings in the Light of Christ!
