As De Trefethan stated: 
 
 (The Word tells us that at the end of their days the OT saints would stand up. I believe that the timing must be here.)
 IT IS WRITTEN:
 
  So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet,            an exceeding great army.  (Ezek 37:10)
 
  Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried,          and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.  (Ezek 37:11)
 
  Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.  (Ezek 37:12)
 
  And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought youup out of your graves,  (Ezek 37:13)
 
  I have 'watched over' and studied these verses for years.
 
  What has both amazed and perplexed me was the destination of their resurrection... not to heaven but to HaEretz!
 
  Ezekiel clearly states the old testament saints are resurrected and transported (translated) to Israel!!!! How incredibleis that gonna be?
 
  And what if amongst them are the 144,000?  This would explain why the 144,000 can not be killed (becauseit is impossible to kill someone who has already died!!!!!)
 
  I have also wondered if this resurrection occurs at the same time as does ours!
 
  We 'go up' (make Aliyah) to heaven and they 'go up' (make Aliyah) to Jerusalem.
 
  This is yet another reason why Jews have long prayed, "Next Year in Jerusalem"; for they have known, in theirspiritual hearts, that ALL who have died (in the hope of the resurrection) are destined to go up to Jerusalem in                        some given year!  Perhaps this year.
 
  Glory and Hallelu-YAH,
