Does it tell in the Bible about resurrection?

Answer 1

Besides when it is telling of the prophecies of the the fulfilled resurrection, it speaks of it in Matthew 22:32-33. Many people often expand the resurrection further, but it is only spoke of in those two verses.

Answer 2

No where are we specifically commanded by God to celebrate this. However we are told that the resurrection is the center piece of Christianity. If you can prove that Jesus did not rise from the dead than all of Christianity is wrong. Many people have tried to prove that Jesus did not rise from the dead and they have been completely defeated. We do find in the book of Acts that the Christians started worshipping God on Sunday. It seems that the day of worship was changed in order to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

Answer 3

A:There are two persons called Lazarus in the New Testament. The first is in a parable in Luke's Gospel, which tells of Lazarus hypothetically raised from the dead. This Lazarus was not intended to be understood as a real person, so the question probably does not apply.

The second is in John's Gospel, which says that Jesus raised him from the dead after several days (John 11:43-44). John's Gospel as a whole is loosely based on Luke's Gospel, and it can be demonstrated that this story of Lazarus was inspired by Luke's parable about the other Lazarus. Thus, even John's Lazarus was not a real person.

Answer:The account of the resurrection of Lazarus is in John 11:1-45.

Answer 4

A: The resurrection of Jesus was never foretold or foreshadowed in the Bible. However, Acts of the Apostles 2:25-28 has Peter cite Psalm 16 as a prophecy of the resurrection: "I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence." In case that seems an unlikely prophecy, Peter tells his audience that this should be interpreted as implying a promise by God to King David that a future descendant would be the Messiah or Christ, after which Psalm 16 is David's prophecy of the resurrection.

If this still seems implausible, the resurrection of Jesus was never foretold or foreshadowed in the Bible. It demonstrates Burton L Mack's contention in Who Wrote the New Testament that one can ask any question of the Bible and get some kind of answer, and if the first answer does not appear to be helpful, one looks for another answer to the same question, until the right answer appears. He says this is especially helpful in finding apparent prophecies in the Old Testament.

Answer:

Not specifying Jesus' resurrection, the question begs prophecy regarding the resurrection of the dead in general. In Truth, the Bible foretells of more than one. Not Jesus Christ... but of all the generations of man who have ever lived and died on earth.

The foretelling is of resurrections still in our future.

"...This is THE FIRST resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who have part in the First Resurrection. The Second Death has no power over them, but they will be Priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years." (Rev.20:5-6 NIV)

By the end of Revelation 20... the thousand years end, and the foretelling of the "Great White Throne" Judgment and the Second Resurrection of all the dead who didn't attain to the First one commences [verse 11]

"But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished..." (Rev.20:5).

Although the above Psalm 16 is an allusion to Jesus' resurrection. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say, and no one throughout all of Judaea [including the lawyers and scribes who were experts in the scriptures] knew of its implications, except Jesus, Himself. And when Jesus assayed to foretell to His disciples about His pending personal resurrection... they refused to believe Him! [Matt.16:21-22]

Yet, Jesus did foretell it.

Jesus' resurrection is past... but the foretelling of the resurrection of the dead is still in man's future. A future resurrection that, according to Paul, could never be hoped for or even foretold unless Jesus resurrected, first:

"...if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." (I Cor.15:14 NIV)

In other words... the prophecies of the coming Judgment is a foretelling of Jesus' resurrection -- otherwise; no future Judgment is possible... or can be Hoped for.

Hebrews 9:27 is a prophecy to this end: "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face Judgment..." [NIV]. A Judgment after one's death necessitates a "resurrection" from the dead [which is impossible, according to Paul, unless Christ is raised first].

The resurrection to Judgment is actually the hope of the Bible, through Jesus' resurrection... that men [our lost loved ones] will one day live again. That this first death that's appointed to all of us "isn't a permanent one."

There can be no Judgment Day without the resurrection from the dead. The Judgment, itself at the Last Day, which is prophesied throughout the Bible, is the foretelling of the coming resurrection.

Then, there is Ezekiel's foretelling vision of the resurrection: "...He brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones... He asked me, 'Son of man, can these bones live?'...

"Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the Word of the LORD!... I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I AM the LORD.'" (Ezek.37:1-6 NIV)

Job also foretold of the resurrection: "If only you would hide me in the grave and conceal me till your anger has passed!... If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come. You will call and I will answer you..." (Job 14:13-14 NIV).

The foretelling of the future resurrection from the dead is the Living Hope of the Bible... that this "first death" that's appointed to us isn't the end.

Answer:Matthew 16:31 - From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

Matthew 17:22, 23 - Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up." And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

Matthew 26:32 - "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

Mark 14:28 - "But after I have been raised, I will go before you to Galilee."

Luke 9:22 - saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day."

[Quotes from NKJV]

Answer:

The Greek word a·naʹsta·sis literally means "raising up; standing up." It is used frequently in the Christian Greek Scriptures with reference to the resurrection of the dead. The Hebrew Scriptures at Hosea 13:14, quoted by the Apostle Paul (1Co 15:54, 55), speak of the abolition of death and the rendering powerless of Sheol (Heb., sheʼohlʹ; Gr., haiʹdes). Sheʼohlʹ is rendered in various versions as "grave" and "pit." The dead are spoken of as going there. (Ge 37:35; 1Ki 2:6; Ec 9:10) Its usage in the Scriptures, along with the usage of its Greek equivalent haiʹdes in the Christian Greek Scriptures, shows that it refers, not to an individual grave, but to the common grave of mankind, gravedom. (Eze 32:21-32; Re 20:13; see HADES; SHEOL.) To render Sheol powerless would mean to loosen its hold on those in it, which would imply the emptying of gravedom. This, of course, would require a resurrection, a raising up from the lifeless condition of death or out of the grave for those there.

How do we know that the resurrection will really happen?Jehovah promises that the dead will live again. (Isaiah 26:19) They will be brought back to life. That is the hope of the resurrection.The Bible helps us to understand how Jehovah and Jesus feel about death. Jesus, who perfectly reflected his Father, knew the pain of losing someone in death. (John 14:9) When he was in Jerusalem, Jesus used to visit Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha, who lived in the nearby town of Bethany. They became close friends. The Bible says: "Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus." (John 11:5) Jesus joined Lazarus' relatives and friends as they grieved over this loss. Seeing them, Jesus was deeply moved. He "groaned within himself and became troubled." Then, the account says, "Jesus gave way to tears." (John 11:33, 35) Did Jesus' grief mean that he had no hope? Not at all. In fact, Jesus knew that something wonderful was about to happen. (John 11:3, 4) Still, he felt the pain and sorrow that death brings.

In a way, Jesus' grief is encouraging to us. It teaches us that Jesus and his Father, Jehovah, hate death. But Jehovah God is able to fight and overcome that enemy! Let us see what God enabled Jesus to do.Lazarus had been buried in a cave, and Jesus asked that the stone sealing its entrance be taken away. Martha objected because after four days, Lazarus' body must have begun to decay. (John 11:39)The stone was rolled away, and Jesus cried out with a loud voice: "Lazarus, come out!" What happened? "The man who had been dead came out." (John 11:43, 44) Jesus did not claim to perform this amazing miracle on his own. In his prayer just before calling out to Lazarus, he made it clear that Jehovah was the Source of the resurrection, John 11:41, 42.The Bible teaches that "the dead know nothing at all." (Ecclesiastes 9:5) They are not alive and have no conscious existence anywhere. The account of Lazarus confirms this. Upon returning to life, did Lazarus thrill people with descriptions of heaven? Or did he terrify them with horrible tales about a burning hell? No. The Bible contains no such words from Lazarus. During the four days that he was dead, he knew "nothing at all." Lazarus had simply been sleeping in death.-John 11:11.

Answer 5

Yes The Bible tells about the resurrection of Christ in Matthew, Mark, Luke and the book of Acts describes His ascension. There are several places in the Bible, Old Testament and New Testament that mention His resurrection.

Additionally:

The Bible also tells about the coming "resurrection" of God's saints in the "First Resurrection"... then, a thousand years later... all the rest of mankind from the grave, to stand before Christ in the Judgment at the Last Day.

"...in Christ [because of HIS resurrection] SHALL ALL BE MADE ALIVE. But every man in his own order: Christ the Firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ'sAT HIS COMING." (I Cor.15:22-23)

"...I saw thrones, and they [that are Christ's - see scripture above] sat upon them, and Judgment was given unto them... and they Lived and Reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead [those who aren't Christ's] lived not again until the thousand years were finished. THIS IS THE FIRST RESURRECTION." (Rev.20:4)

"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." (verse 6)

At the end of Revelation 20 is mention of the resurrection of "the rest of the dead"... who never knew or possibly never heard about Christ [as well as those who had heard and converted; then fell away and rejected Him].

"And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away... And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books [of the Bible - see John 12:48] 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." (Rev.20:11-12)

Ezekiel had a vision of this "Last Day" resurrection:

"The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones... and, lo, they were very dry.

"And He said unto me, Son of man, CAN THESE BONES LIVE?" (Ezek.37:1-3)

"...Behold, I WILL CAUSE BREATH TO ENTER INTO YOU, and YE SHALL LIVE: and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and YE SHALL LIVE; and YE SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD." (verses 5-6)

"...Behold, O My people, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I AM the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O MY people, and brought you up OUT OF YOUR GRAVES." (verses 12-13)

"And shall put My Spirit in you, and ye shall Live..." (verse 14)

"...I WILL SAVE THEM... and WILL CLEANSE THEM: so shall they be My people, and I will be their God." (verse 23)

Most people [and most religions] neglect the scriptures regarding the coming RESURRECTION OF ALL OF MANKIND, due to the fact that most of them teach "going to heaven"... which negates the need for any resurrection [thus negating that much of God's Truth in their hearts]. Sadly, therefore... most of modern professing Christianity preaches Jesus' resurrection -- but not mankind's; the most wonderful message of Good News and Hope for anyone who shall one day die.

Jesus' resurrection, most modern professing Christians believe they know about. But the Bible tells of some wonderful prophecies of mankind's Salvation, which will come about through their resurrection from the dead, also. A future resurrection made possible, because Jesus rose from the dead, first.

"...For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout... and THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them into the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air... Wherefore comfort one another with these Words." (I Thess.4:16-18)

The prophesied resurrections are [or should be] the blessed HOPE of those who believe in the Words of the Bible[and ultimately even most who don't]... that death is not the permanent thing our finite existence perceives it to be. The Bible's revealing of the resurrections is the thrust of man's Hope of Victory over death through Jesus Christ.

"Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead... By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future." (Heb.11:19-20)

On the other side of the coming resurrections told in the Bible lies mankind's future. The Bible calls it "Eternal Life"... and the universe awaits the revealing of God's Children who shall inherit it.

"He that overcometh shall INHERIT ALL THINGS; and I will be his God, and he shall be MY SON." (Rev.21:7)

Everything hinges on Jesus' resurrection, of course. For without it... there is no future for mankind. But because the Bible tells of it... faithful men must not neglect the Bible's telling of the glorious resurrections to come.
