Christ did not say that "some" who are in the tombs will hear His voice. He said that
"all" must hear His voice. Does not such a declaration lead us to marvel? Tragically, many
Christians refuse to accept this truth. Christ will reconcile ALL those who have died back
to the Father. The waters of death will roll back all the way to Adam. Christ will provide a
"merciful covering" for all who were born of Adam.

I Corinthians 15:22-23
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order...

Who are the first to be made alive? It is the firstborn. There is both a natural firstborn,
and a spiritual firstborn. The nation of Israel is Yahweh's natural firstborn. They must be
the first nation to go through the pattern of death, burial and resurrection. They are the first
to know the wrath of God, and will be the first nation to wholly turn to Yahweh in
repentance and become worshipers of Yahshua.

Romans 11:26-27
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and
He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, when I
take away their sins."

Jeremiah 3:17-19
"At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘The Throne of Yahweh,' and all the nations will be
gathered to it, to Jerusalem, for the name of Yahweh; nor will they walk anymore after the
stubbornness of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house
of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave
your fathers as an inheritance. Then I said, ‘How I would set you among My sons and give
you a pleasant land, the most beautiful inheritance of the nations!' And I said, ‘You shall
call Me, My Father, and not turn away from following Me.'"

What a glorious day it will be when Yahweh restores all Israel to Himself! Israel will
then serve Yahweh as priests, leading the nations to repentance and restoration to the God
of all creation. Israel has not thus far received this call. Like Jonah, Israel has fled from the
call of God upon their lives. They have not desired to see the nations restored to the favor
of Yahweh. Israel has manifested the attitude seen in the elder brother to the prodigal son.
When the father was rejoicing that his son who had been lost had been restored to him, the
elder brother was angry.

Luke 15:25-30
"Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he
heard music and dancing. And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring
what these things could be. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father
has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.' But he
became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading
with him. But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been
serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given
me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends; but when this son of yours
came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for
him.'"
