Life And Death

  Resurrection

“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.  

  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.  

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.” 

Isaiah 26:19-21

  “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.  

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.”

Daniel 12:2, 3

  “Hell, ((Grave)), from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.  

 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us?  

Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.”

Isaiah  14:9-11

  “But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,  

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.”

Matthew 22:32

“Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.  

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.  

 So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.  

Chapter 28 

  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.  

  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.  

  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:  

  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.  

  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.  

  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  

  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.  

And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.”

Matthew  27:64-28:8

  “And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?  

  For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.  

  And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?  

He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.”  Mark 12:24-27

  “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.  

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.”

John 5:24, 25

  “Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.  

  Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.  

  Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.  

  Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:  

  And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?  

  She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.  

  And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.  

  As soon as she heard [that], she arose quickly, and came unto him.  

  Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.  

  The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.  

  Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.  

  When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,  

  And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.  

  Jesus wept.  

  Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!  

  And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?  

  Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.  

  Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.  

  Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?  

  Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.  

  And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.  

  And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  

  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.  

  Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.  

But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.”

John 11:14, 23-46

“Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.” Acts 4:2

“And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.”

Acts 24:15
