What do you think some of the craziest stuff from history is that we're never going to know?

Isn't that fun to imagine? The crazy stuff that happened in ancient Greece, things that Alexander the Great

might have done, or entire empires who are just gone, got wiped from the face of the earth by a natural disaster or some kind of

plague or they got wiped out by an enemy you have heard of and they're like, nah, we hated these people

so much, nobody's even going to know they existed,

we're not being going to record that we defeated them, they're just gone.

It's kind of wild when you sit around and try to do the math in your brain as to what percentage of stuff that happened is recorded in some way or known in some way and what percentage of stuff that happened is just totally gone. In that sense, every time something only

one person remembers dies, it's like time clears its browser history.

But then every now and then you get one of those things,

seems like it's way, way, way out there.

And yet somebody wrote it down.

So now everybody has access to it and history just can't forget it and it just

sits there like a rock in your shoe this little nugget from the past. I think

that's what we get in Matthew 27. Jesus dies, temple curtain tears, earthquakes, rock split,

presumably as part of the earthquakes and rock splitting. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many

holy people who had died were raised to life.

They came out of the tombs and after Jesus resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared

to many people.

I want to come back to the question that we were just looking at. How does this happen?

How does this get forgotten or mostly forgotten?

But first, let's just try to break down the text here

in terms of the timeline and what it looks like actually happened.
