RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPERS HOME PAGE

This paper discusses Bible scriptures on resurrection from the dead. The Christian faith is based on Jesus resurrection three days after His death & burial. Bible shows 2 end times resurrections: 1st for the righteous & 2nd for the wicked. All scriptures are from the King James version Bible.

INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:

THEME: Jesus resurrection assures Christians: salvation, resurrection & eternal life.

GOD'S PLAN IS FOR ALL PEOPLE TO EXIST FOREVER:

Revelation 20:10-15 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. {11} And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

PURPOSE: RESURRECTION PURPOSE: Righteous man would live with God forever.

John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. {2} In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. {3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, & receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Jesus promise to the righteous to live with Him.

KEY VERSE:

1 Corinthians 15:20-23 "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. {21} For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. {22} For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. {23} But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming" 1st Jesus 2nd us

WHO: God mainly by Bible authors Job, Matthew, Luke, John, and Paul

Jesus with every righteous person will live together in God's eternal home.

TO WHOM: Elected Christians

WHAT: Jesus resurrection assures people that an after life experience exist.

CHRISTIANS LIVING IN A RESURRECTED LIFE WITH JESUS:

Romans 6:3-5 "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? {4} Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. {5} For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:" Christians are promised the same events to occur like Jesus

Romans 8:10-11 "And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. {11} But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." The Holy Spirit will quicken (make alive) the spiritual life of the Christian body.

Ephesians 2:1, 5-6 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins: {5} Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) {6} And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:"

Philippians 3:10-11 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; {11} If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." The desire of the Christian is to be resurrected like Jesus.

Colossians 3:1-4 "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. {2} Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. {3} For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. {4} When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory" Risen with Christ change priority

2 Timothy 2:11 "It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:"

WHY: For the Christian's justification, & righteous people assurance of eternal life.

RESURRECTION LIFE:

Luke 20:35-36 "But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: {36} Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection." The resurrected person is the bride of Christ & is married to the Lord Jesus.

Luke 24:36-43 "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. {37} But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. {38} And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? {39} Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. {40} And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. {41} And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? {42} And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. {43} And he took it, and did eat before them." Jesus new resurrected spiritual body can talks, it can go through walls but He is not a spirit, it can be touched, and it can eat food. We will have the same type of spiritual body when we are resurrected in the last days.

1 Corinthians 15:35-44 "But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? {36} Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: {37} And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: {38} But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. {39} All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. {40} There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. {41} There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. {42} So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: {43} It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: {44} It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body."

The dead physical body will be changed to a spiritual body to be reunited with the his emotional, mind, will, & the spirit of God to make him a spiritual living soul. Jesus has this body in Luke 24.

1 Corinthians 15:50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." The new spiritual body has no blood.

Philippians 3:21 "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself." Righteous person vile body changed to a glorious body like Christ's resurrected body.

WAY: Death is not the final outcome. Jesus rising from the dead proves an eternal life.

JESUS PROPHECIES HIS RESURRECTION:

Matthew 16:21 "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." Jesus predicts His death & resurrection after three days.

Luke 24:45-46 "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, {46} And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:" Jesus shows Job scriptures that predicts His death & resurrection in 3 days

John 2:18-22 "Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? {19} Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. {20} Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? {21} But he spake of the temple of his body. {22} When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said." Jesus predicts His death & resurrection after three days.

HOLY SPIRIT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD:

Romans 8:11 "But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you." The Holy Spirit brings new life into Jesus human body after He is dead three days.

1 Peter 3:18 "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" Quicken = new life

WHEREAS:

RESURRECTED JESUS SEEN BY OTHERS:

Mark 16:9 "Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils." Mary Magdalene is first to see Jesus alive.

Mark 16:12 "After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country." The full Emmaus account is in Luke 24:13-32

Acts 3:15 "And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses." Apostles Peter and John

1 Corinthians 15:3-7 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; {4} And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: {5} And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: {6} After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. {7} After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles." These groups of people witness Jesus alive: (Peter & 12); (500); (James)

JESUS PROPHECIES OF HIS RESURRECTION IS FULFILLED:

Matthew 27:50-54 "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.{51} And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; {52} And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, {53} And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. {54} Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God." After Jesus resurrection several other temporary resurrections occurred.

Matthew 28:5-9 "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. {6} He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. {7} And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. {8} And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.{9} And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him." Mark 16; Luke 24; & John 20-21

John 20:26-28 "And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. {27} Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. {28} And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God." After Jesus resurrection He when to see His apostles.

WHERE: Heavenly place of the New Jerusalem for righteous. Hell for wicked.

WHEN: Resurrection of the dead will occur at the last days, end of the age, & end times.

WHILE: Christians who died will be resurrected after God completes His plan of ages.

XXXIII) GOD'S PLAN IS FOR ALL PEOPLE TO EXIST FOREVER:

I) RESURRECTION AUTHOR: God

II) RESURRECTION PURPOSE: Righteous man would live with God forever.

John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. {2} In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. {3} And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, & receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." Jesus promise to the righteous to live with Him.

III)RESURRECTION BEGINNINGS: Part of God's dispensational plan. In Job the oldest Bible book (Job 19:25-27). In Genesis, the first book of the Bible (Genesis 22:5).

IV) RESURRECTIONS COMPLETED:

1st resurrection for the righteous & the 2nd resurrection a thousand years later for wicked.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. {14} For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."

Revelation 20:4-6 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {5} But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years." God's judgment determine if the dead person is in Christ or not in Christ.

V) ORDER OF RESURRECTIONS:

See my paper: "One-In-Christ" for more information on this subject.

Colossians 3:1 "If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." The Christian is One-In-Christ & accomplishes everything also.

VI) BETTER RESURRECTION: Closer to the throne of God with more rewards from life

Hebrews 11:35-39 "Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: {36} And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: {37} They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; {38} (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. {39} And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:"

VII) RIGHTEOUS DEAD BEFORE END TIME RESURRECTION: Living saints

Matthew 22:31-32 "But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, {32} I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living." These saints are living.

VIII) RESURRECTION LIFE:

Luke 20:35-36 "But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: {36} Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection." The resurrected person is the bride of Christ & is married to the Lord Jesus.

Luke 24:36-43 "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. {37} But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. {38} And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? {39} Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. {40} And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. {41} And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? {42} And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. {43} And he took it, and did eat before them." Jesus new resurrected spiritual body can talks, it can go through walls but He is not a spirit, it can be touched, and it can eat food. We will have the same type of spiritual body when we are resurrected in the last days.

The dead physical body will be changed to a spiritual body to be reunited with the his emotional, mind, will, & the spirit of God to make him a spiritual living soul. Jesus has this body in Luke 24.

1 Corinthians 15:50 "Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption." The new spiritual body has no blood.

IX) DICTIONARY MEANINGS:

A) ENGLISH DEFINITION:

The act of rising from the dead & returning to life as for example: Christ & those at last judgment

B) STRONG'S GREEK & HEBREW DEFINITIONS:

Job 19:25-27 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: {26} And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: {27} Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me." Liveth = H2416

Isaiah 26:19 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead." Isaiah believes in his own ressurection to life. Live = H2421 Arise = H6965

G2222. zoe, dzo-ay'; from G2198; life (lit. or fig.):--life (-time). Comp. G5590.

G2198. zao, dzah'-o; a prim. verb; to live (lit. or fig.):--life (-time), (a-) live (-ly), quick.

John 11:25-26 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: {26} And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" Resurrection = G386 Life = G2222 Live / Liveth = G2198

X) JESUS RAISED FOR THE CHRISTIAN'S JUSTIFICATION:

Romans 4:24-25 "But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; {25} Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification."Jesus was raise for our justification = declared just as if we had never sinned.

See my paper: "True Gospel for Salvation by the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus" for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Imputed/Reckoned/Counted Righteousness of Jesus" for more information on this subject.

XI) RESURRECTION DOUBTS & PROOFS:

1 Corinthians 15:3-7, 12-20 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; {4} And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: {5} And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: {6} After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. {7} After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. {12} Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? {13} But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: {14} And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. {15} Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. {16} For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: {17} And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. {18} Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. {19} If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. {20} But now is Christ risen from the dead, & become the firstfruits of them that slept. {21} For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead." No hope if Jesus was not raised from the dead, but Christ was raised from the dead?

2 Timothy 2:16-19 "But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. {17} And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; {18} Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some." Error that the Christian will not be resurrected in the end days.

Genesis 22:5 "And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." Abraham was taking Issac to kill him, but he believed in Isaac's literal resurrection. God told Abraham Isaac would be bring offspring.

Hosea 13:14 "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes." General Old Testament resurrection promise by God.

See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" for more information on this subject.

XIV) ELIJAH PRAYS FOR CHILD'S RESURRECTION:

1 Kings 17:17-23 "And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. {18} And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son? {19} And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. {20} And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son? {21} And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again. {22} And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. {23} And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth." Elijah is used by God to heal the child.

XV) ELISHA PRAYS FOR CHILD'S RESURRECTION:

2 Kings 4:18-22, 32-35 "And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. {19} And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother. {20} And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died. {21} And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out. {22} And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. {32} And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. {33} He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD. {34} And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. {35} Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes." Elisha is used by God to heal the child.

XVI) ELISHA BONES TOUCHED IN BURIAL RESURRECTION:

2 Kings 13:20-21 "And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. {21} And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet." Elisha is dead, but God uses his body to heal another person.

XVII) OLD TESTAMENT SUPPORTS JESUS RESURRECTION:

XVIII) JOBS & JESUS RESURRECTIONS:

Job 19:25-27 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: {26} And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: {27} Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me." Job believes in his own body resurrection, & he believes in a righteous personal redeemer who will be resurrected in latter days.

See my paper: "Why Do the Righteous Suffer - Book of Job?" for more information on this subject.

XIX) OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES PROPHESY JESUS RESURRECTION:

Psalms 16:10 "For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." Fulfilled in Acts 2:27 "Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." Promise to Jesus for his resurrection.

Psalms 49:15 "But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah." Promise to Jesus for his resurrection.

See my paper: "Messianic Prophecies that Jesus Fulfilled" for more information on this subject.

XX) JESUS RESURRECTION TYPES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT:

See my paper: "Jesus in the Old Testament" for more information on this subject.

XXI) ISAAC'S DEATH & RESURRECTION: TYPIFIED EVENTS OF JESUS

God would likewise resurrect Jesus, His Son, from the dead

Genesis 22:5 "And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you." Abraham was to kill Isaac, but he believed Isaac would be resurrected from the dead as God promised Isaac would bring offspring.

Hebrews 11:17-19 "By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son. {18} Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: {19} Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure." By faith Isaac would rise from the dead.

XXII) JONAH'S DEATH & RESURRECTION: TYPIFIED EVENTS OF JESUS

Jonah 2:1-10 "Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, {2} And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. {3} For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. {4} Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. {5} The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head. {6} I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. {7} When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. {8} They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. {9} But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. {10} And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land." Jonah three days experience is a type of what Jesus three days experience will be like.

Matthew 12:39-40 "But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: {40} For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Just like Jonah, likewise Jesus, 3 days experience.

See my paper: " God's Word/Bible/Scriptures " for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Bible Study & Interpretation Guideline" for more information on this subject.

XXIII) TEMPORARY RESURRECTION MIRACLES BY JESUS:

Mark 5:35-36, 41-42 "While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further? {36} As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. {41} And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. {42} And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment." Jesus brings a 12 year old dead girl back to life.

Luke 7:12-15 "Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. {13} And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not. {14} And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. {15} And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother." Jesus brings a widow' son back to life.

John 11:14, 21-26, 43-44 "Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. {21} Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. {22} But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. {23} Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. {24} Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. {25} Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: {26} And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? {43} And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. {44} And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." Jesus brings his friend Lazarus back to life.

Come, see the place where the Lord lay. {7} And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. {8} And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.{9} And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him." Mark 16; Luke 24; & John 20-21

XXVIII) CHRISTIANS LIVING IN A RESURRECTED LIFE WITH JESUS:

Romans 6:3-5 "Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? {4} Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. {5} For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:"Christians are promised the same events to occur like Jesus

Philippians 3:10-11 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; {11} If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead."The desire of the Christian is to be resurrected like Jesus.

XXIX) DISCIPLE TEMPORARY RESURRECTION MIRACLES:

XXX) END TIMES RIGHTEOUS RESURRECTION:

Isaiah 26:19-21 "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. {20} Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. {21} For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."Old Testament shows resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:51-52 "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, 5:10 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. {14} For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. {15} For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. {16} For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: {17} Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. {18} Wherefore comfort one another with these words. {5:10} Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him."All righteous with Jesus

Revelation 20:4-6, 12-14 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. {5} But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. {6} Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Final plan of God for all people - righteous or wicked.

And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them." God restores life into them after they are dead.

XXXII) END TIMES WICKED RESURRECTION:

See my paper: "Judgments of Believer & Unbeliever" for more information on this subject.

Daniel 12:1-3 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. {2} And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame <and> everlasting contempt. {3} And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."All people will be judged. The wicked will go to hell.

John 5:28-29 "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, {29} And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." Evil will be punish.

XXXIII) GOD'S PLAN IS FOR ALL PEOPLE TO EXIST FOREVER:

Revelation 20:10-15 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. {11} And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
