In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, the rich man in Hell asks Abraham to send him to the earth, to his brothers. He said that if they saw him risen from the dead then they would repent. Abraham answers saying something strange. "And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." ( Luke 16:31)
If I was there I would ask Abraham, "Are you sure that they will not repent if they see their brother resurrected from the dead? Are you absolutely sure? Because it seems to me that they could not ignore such a thing"
Sometime Jesus resurrected another man called Lazarus, Martha's and Mary's brother. So did the Pharisees and Sadducees believe and repente?
"10But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 11Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus" ( John 12 10-11)

It seems Abraham was absolutely right.
