Martin,
Jesus was the first person risen from the dead that death had no
more power over, with an eternal resurrection body, never to die
again. That was not the case with the others raised back to
life, for example Lazarus, who died twice. Hebrews 9:27 shows
that death is universal to all men, and that after death, they
will be accountable for that life that they were given, and the
things that they have done. If Hebrews 9:27 is an absolute
guarantee that everyone has to die once, then how could Paul say
to the Corinthians that we shall not all sleep, or to the
Thessalonians about we which are alive and remain until the
coming of the Lord? All those people don’t even die once.
