THE RESURRECTION IN PROPHECY
An event clearly foreseen by both Jesus and the Hebrew prophets
by Dr. David R. Reagan
The
resurrection of the Messiah was well established in the Hebrew
prophetic scriptures long before the death and resurrection of
Jesus.
The Prophecies of David and
Isaiah
The most straight forward and best
known of the resurrection prophecies is the one penned by David
in Psalm 16:10, written a thousand years before the birth of Jesus:
"For Thou wilt not abandon my soul to Sheol; neither wilt Thou
allow Thy Holy One to undergo decay."
On the Day of Pentecost, when Peter
preached the first Gospel sermon, he boldly asserted that God
had raised Jesus from the dead (Acts 2:24). He then explained
that God had performed this miraculous deed in fulfillment of
David
