The story of the rich and poor man is a story (parable) to make a point (don't miss the point). It is not an historical event such as the raising of Lazarus (the brother of Mary and Martha) from the dead.

The problem Davy, is folk conflate Old and New Testament prophecies re this matter assuming it is talking about the same event. The Jews did/ do the same thing with the prophecies of the Messiah.....they conflate the first and second coming prophecies (withdistortion and denial) while giving it...

The 4th Commandment tells us more than just to remember the Sabbath day. It also tells us which day it is in the weekly cycle.....and surprisingly to many, there is also more information in that same commandment. You might check it. :)
