Who was resuscitated in the Bible?

There are three explicit examples in the Hebrew Bible of people being resurrected from the dead: The prophet Elijah prays and God raises a young boy from death (1 Kings 17:17-24) Elisha raises the son of the Woman of Shunem (2 Kings 4:32-37) whose birth he previously foretold (2 Kings 4:8-16)

Did Jesus have to come back while his disciples were still alive?

Jesus does talk about how he could come back at any moment, he does talk about the imminence of his coming, but there’s nothing that binds him to the idea that he had to come back while his disciples were still alive. Yes, Jesus asserts—in the Olivet discourse for example—that those standing by him would experience “these things”.

What generation does Jesus mean by not passing away until he returns?

The generation that Jesus speaks of “not passing” until He returns is a future generation, namely, the people living when the predicted events occur. The word generation refers to the people alive in the future when the events of Matthew 24–25 take place.

What will happen to unbelievers after the return of Jesus?

Unbelievers will be resurrected and judged at what is referred to as the great white throne judgment; based on their works, they will be assigned to the lake of fire ( Revelation 20:11–15 ). So, the return of Jesus will usher in two different eternities—one with God and one without Him.
