Auxiliary scriptures are used to provide congruent contextual attributes with a subject of order in context. The Doctrine of the OTW written of in Matthew 27:52-52 has no auxiliary scriptures to prove its validity as a true physical resurrection.
Matthew has used a form of free flowing prose called a Stream of Consciousness which is a form of Indirect Internal Dialogue.
Matthew jumps topics in Matthew 27:52-53 to acknowledge the immediate benefit and power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Matthew connects his thought of the resurrection of Jesus Christ to the spiritual resurrection of those who later receive a resurrection unto life through the Baptism of the Holy Ghost and Matthew wrote these two scriptures as an afterthought.
The only scripture that may seem close to a physical auxiliary reference suggested by the teachers of the OTW is Isaiah 26:19. Because Matthew 27:52-53 and Isaiah 26:19 write about the dead arising from the graves and are falsely connected.
Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead:
By OTW doctrine, it is assumed that the unnamed person referred to in Isaiah 26:19 is Jesus Christ speaking of his own resurrection and the saints of Matthew 27:52-53. This assumption is incorrect. There is a reference to Isaiah and his own resurrection in the Old Testament in Hebrews 11. There is no allusion to Matthew 27:53-53 in Isaiah. Isaiah is specifically referring to himself, in an indirect internal dialogue, about himself.
Another scripture that is used inappropriately to prove that the OTW did resurrect and used as physical proof is 1 Corinthians 15:6.
1 Corinthians 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
Paul writes about a preponderance of witnesses in 1 Corinthians 15 concluding as proof that Jesus was seen by many people directly after his resurrection.
1 Corinthians 15:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
1 Corinthians 15:6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
1 Corinthians 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
1 Corinthians 15:6 is cherry picked by those who preach the Doctrine of the OTW as direct scriptural proof that these five hundred unnamed brethren were the resurrected saints of Matthew 27:52-53without any other proof than “just because”.
1 Corinthians 15:6 has NO reference whatsoever to the Matthew 27 resurrection and to use this scripture as any kind of proof other than what Paul has purposed is a blatant piece of fiction.
