The Rich Man and Lazarus Part 3

Luke 16;22-23 The language is highly symbolic and the deaths of both the rich man (Judah) and the beggar (the nations) represent a fundamental change in their condition and status. It does not say that Lazarus was buried, it says Lazarus was carried to the bosom of Abraham, but the rich man was buried, never to become the favored nation of God in their own right again.
