Martha's Eschatology
This passage recently sprung to my attention. I realized that Martha, Laz's sister, had an eschatology. We don't know the specifics of it but I am curious as to where you think she got this from:
Is it in the OT? Was it preached to her from Rabbis? Did Jesus tell her and it is unwritten (That is my belief)?
But, where did she get the idea of a "last day resurrection" and also I think (and I cannot defend it biblically very well) she was talking of a general resurrection since she could not know for sure if Laz was saved.
Thanks guys.

Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day."
