The Rich Man and El'azar
Lukas 16:19–31judgementmercywarning
A rich man feasts daily while a beggar named El'azar dies at his gate; in the next life their positions are reversed and unbridgeable.
The chasm is fixed. Yeshua names the beggar — El'azar — but the rich man has no name in heaven's record. The brothers must not wait for a sign from the dead; they have Moshe and the prophets. If they will not hear them, neither will they be persuaded by a resurrection. Yeshua says this knowing what is coming.
