Do you think about the REAL future of the tomb?

I was always under the impression that Jesus was placed in the tomb OF Joseph of Arimathea. According to the gospels of Matthew, Mark and John, I am wrong.

It turns out that Jesus arranged to receive the body of Jesus from the cross and placed him in a tomb which he arranged.

there’s nothing to indicate that Jesus was placed in the tomb labelled J Arimathea.

Nonetheless, I wonder what happened to the tomb after the resurrection of Jesus.

Was it used again?

Depending what you think of first-century burial rituals, after a while the bones from the tomb would be relocated into a collective family burial site.

Thus, it was routine for tombs to be recycled.

So, does this mean that the tomb that Joseph arranged was reused?

I ask because, on occasions, we elevate the nature of the physical tomb.

It is eternally empty...
The stone is always rolled away...

Romantically, we sing out these words.

But, chances are, they are incorrect.

Sure, it isn’t the most important theological point, but I wonder what it says about the way we mythicise biblical events.
