Why did Messiah wait 4 days to raise Lazarus from the dead when he knew he was sick and exact moment of death?

Because with his having been dead for four days and the scent of his being dead for four days quite noticeable, everyone knew that Jesus had raised him back the dead, not from sleeping.

In Jewish tradition - the soul stayed with the body for 3 days and if a resurrection occurred before then - it might just be looked at as a resuscitation and not a resurrection of an actual dead man.

Jesus needed all to know the Power of The Father, that came through Him. He knew He could raise Lazarus. But the more witnesses the better. Proving to all that Jesus is the Way, Truth and the light of Life.

There is more joy in Jesus in one day.

Than there is in the World 365/24/7

I know, I tried them both.

Numbers 6:24-26

Cause He wanted 2. He is GOD. 7 Q's here one more.the sole didn't die until judgement & hell. keep looking and believing and asking GOD HE WILL GIVE YOU THE ANSER 'S BUTT YAHOO WILL MOST LIKLY BE MORE CONFUSEING THEN GOOD.

The whole thing is incredibly dumb; kick starting 50 trillion dead cells is only the beginning of the nonsense. In those days it was quite common to say someone was resurrected from the dead but that was in spiritual; never physical form!

Jesus didn't pray like Holy Hosea did!

This is the story of the Holy Prophet Hosea IMPROVISING a quick short prayer to GOD.

HE HATES some Jews that he can’t control, so in his prayer he is specific and to the point.

Hos 9:14-16

Give them, O LORD— what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry*

(*most politically motivated Preachers today claim that God is PRO-LIFE and ANTI-ABORTION. That’s hardly true in any Bible story)

and breasts that are dry*

(*God rushes IMMEDIATELY to answer this kind of prayer! Most Christians don’t know because they hardly read the Bible! Especially those in politics, they only get a bigoted idea from the Preachers)

"Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I HATED them there*

(*God is CONFESSING to Holy Hosea that he HATES the same bunch of Jews!)

Because of their SINFUL deeds*

(*that only the Clergy knows)

I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them*

(*God may LOVE THE WORLD -John 3:16, but never again these Jews!)

all their leaders are rebellious. Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered. They yield no fruit*

(God joins the Clergy getting p*ssed off at them. They don’t bring any tithe and offerings to the Temple – Mal3:9-10,Mat25:41,Act5:1-11)

even if they bear children*

(*God ALWAYS takes it on innocent children and pregnant women, in an effort to catch the religious people’s attention about money issues!)

I will slay their cherished offspring."*

(*God is not providing a remedy, but he is ALWAYS KILLING CHILDREN after they are born! NOT IN ANY ABORTION, but in Holocausting Jewish children. This doesn’t come near anything that Hitler did)

==

When GOD is determined to KILL people, including children and pregnant women, he doesn’t want to hear anybody praying FOR them!

Jer 15:1-6

Then the LORD said to me: "Even if MOSES and SAMUEL were to stand before me, my heart would not go out to this people…

Mat 18:19

Again I say unto you*

(*now Jesus Christ is BULL CRAPPING one more time)

That if two of you*

(*like Moses and Samuel)

shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven*

(*the Early Church Fathers make Christians believe that Jesus doesn’t worship the same Old Jewish God)

==

God FORCED the Holy Prophet Hosea to go out and BUY for himself a sleek prostitute to help him out writing his quota of Bible stories!

Hos 3:2-3

So I bought her to me for 15 pieces of silver…*

(*tax exempt business expense –this GOD APPROVED slut was awesome, at HALF of Jesus’ price!)

And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide FOR ME many days*

(*until thou gets frigid on me, or I get tired of thee!)

thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt NOT BE FOR ANOTHER MAN: so will I also be for thee*

(*ain’t that a loving Christian commitment to each other? A marriage vow, even!)

==

God answers any prayer even from a pervert guy like Holy Hosea, but you must ask according to his will!

Rev 2:23

(God supports Jesus’ Divine plan…) I will strike her CHILDREN DEAD. Then ALL THE CHURCHES will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds*

(*Jesus Christ is of a Catholic orientation, even to the end of the Bible, he never spoke about any “GRACE” like Saint Paul and the Protestants do!)

==

Noah NEVER prayed for anybody! God had all innocent children and pregnant women exterminated along with the rest of the World. Only Noah’s family, Satan, and all the Demons were saved.

Before Israel was liberated from slavery in Egypt, God had millions of first born children of Egyptian parents slaughtered, including NEWLY BORN BABIES!

When Jesus Christ was born in Judea ALL the innocent male children of up to 2 years of age were slaughtered in a way that not even God the Holy Ghost was able to provide comfort to the grieving mothers (Mat 2:18)… and he was the one screwing the Horny Virgin Mary!

=Psa 137:8-9

O Daughter of Babylon*

(*Iraq?)

doomed to destruction, HAPPY IS HE*

(*USA?)

who repays you for what you have done to us*

(*the Jews)

he who seizes your INFANTS*

(*not fetuses, but infants!)

and dashes them against the rocks*

(*today, some Clergy people only fondle kids)

Jer 19:9

I* (*God, not Satan, but God!) will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters.*

(*Christians would always say “grace” before dinner, so they won’t sin)

Lam 4:10

(It happened!) With their own hands compassionate women*

(*God/Jesus loving ladies)

have cooked their own children.*

(*they turned out delicious! Should God loving missionaries and Preachers tell the WHOLE Bible story to starving people in Africa?)

Christians hide from public knowledge the gross immorality of the repulsive God that Jews, Christians and Muslims still worship today!

Jesus knew Lazarus would die, and then be raised. The way I see it, it set many things in motion.

Notice this: After Lazarus was raised from the dead, there were still people who wanted to kill Jesus, and also Lazarus. What does that tell you about humans and miracles?

I'm not looking for miracles, though I would welcome them. But I don't need miracles to believe. If I did, I still might not be capable of aligning myself with God. Those people who want miracles so bad, they might not even be able to align with God when they do finally see them occur.
