In the biblical story of "the rich man and Lazarus" how did the rich man recognize Abraham?

I have watched a lot of NDE's storys online and other dreams and visions stories.. And people repeatedly say they know who it is they are interacting with.. They just know.. I dare say that God can cause a person to know.. So yeah the rich man in hell could have known who everyone was.. An ability bejond human level but may be within an eternal beings capabilities..

The story of the rich man and hell was more to do with the importance of charity.. rather then about money..

Oh and in the end of the parrable the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus back and warn his brothers who where also rich and ungiving.. Abraham said that his brothers had the Torah to warn them and if they did not believe the Torah then evn if a person came back from the death they would still not believe... That was pointing at what happened when Jesus came back from the dead.. Many still would not believe Him..


(Luke 16:27-31) "Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: {28} For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. {29} Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. {30} And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. {31} And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

It's a parable. The details are only enough to tell you that haves ought to treat have-nots better, which interweaves this with stewardship teachings, the Good Samaritan, etc.

The messages converge and support each other.

The Jews were told over and over:

Take care of
the widow,
the orphan,
and
the sojourner in your midst.

It was not new or news.

That actually does make sense to me, because in spirit form, it's easier to recognize someone, no matter what their appearance. That's because you aren't seeing some reflection of light, but their energy.

First of all, the scripture was not written to pacify your greed, hunger or desire. They did not know that if they will fake it with how people looked, then The Bible would look more genuine. But That to me, would be a FAKE description. Bible is extraordinarily silent on looks. That is why, it's the truest scripture, not color coded.

Well they knew Abraham and Isaac will be in Abrahams Bosom
