Zombie Apocalyptic World..Is This God's Plan For Us? 

 

Standing on the highway, crowded by abandoned cars and rotting corpses, Hershel urges Rick to find a safe place for his son Carl. But Rick turns to Hershel and responds, “You’re a man of God. Have some faith.” Hershel replies, “I can’t profess to understand God’s plan. Christ promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a little different in mind.”

Hershel's statement presents an obvious reality: The resurrection of the dead means something entirely different in the sense of how humans expected it than it does in the context of a zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic world. 

 

The book of Ezekiel brings to life a valley of dried bone(Ezekiel 37), “many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake(Daniel 12.2), and Jesus revives Lazarus from the dead. Most famously, all the above give xaomples to say that Jesus appeared in resurrected form following his death.

 

Still, there are no human monsters eating flesh in the Bible. Neither Lazarus nor Jesus, nor any other biblical character, is a zombie. The idea of a zombie dates long after the  Bible and the New Testament. 

 

Some Christians existed in a world where they expected the second coming of Jesus to happen soon.

The earliest Christians had faith, believing that Jesus would soon return to rid the world of threat. Many Christians had a highly apocalyptic worldview: The world in which they lived would soon pass away and be replaced by a new heaven and the new Earth.
