Daniel 12:2 says, "And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

Leviticus 21:16-20 tell us that no priest with any physical defect was allowed to make any offerings. In Romans 15:4 Paul said that whatever was written was intended for our instruction. So what can we learn from this?
