Satan, Demons, & Zombies

Zombie Apocalypse


... so there is this current cultural craze with Zombies, right?   Yet, what does the bible say about such things? Furthermore, what is the deal with Satan and Demons? What do you do with verses like these:

... Ezekiel 37:1-14 (Valley of the Dry Bones)

 ... He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.  He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry.  He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
...‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!... I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.  I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
... I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
... Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’”  
... So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
... My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them
... Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.’”

... Open Tombs - At Jesus Death (Matthew 27: 50-52)

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

... Or What about the Appearance of the Prophet Samuel to Saul - conjured up by the Witch of Endor.

... Or at the Mount of Transfiguration the Appearance of Moses & Elijah with Jesus in the Flesh.

... Or for that matter the Resurrected Bodies of Those Jesus brought back from the Dead, including HIMSELF.

... Or forward to the two Witnesses in Revelation that come to life with extraordinary powers after being dead for 3 days.

... Or all those that are Resurrected to stand before the Judgement Seat of Christ, or the Great White Throne Judgement?

... Other Passages to look over: compare/contrast - Zechariah 14:12 / 1 Corinthians 15:42-44


Linked Below is an article that I believe does biblical justice to our curiosity on "Everything You wanted to know about Satan-Demons-and Zombies...but were afraid to ask" Mark Driscoll

 As C. S. Lewis wrote in The Screwtape Letters , “There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them.”
