Prphecy Verses About Jesus Rising Again

Question

Where do the Hebrew Scriptures prophesy the death and resurrection of the Messiah?

Respond

Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the promise of a Messiah is clearly given. These messianic prophecies were made hundreds, sometimes thousands of years before Jesus Christ was born, and conspicuously Jesus Christ is the merely person who has ever walked this world to fulfill them. In fact, from Genesis to Malachi, there are over 300 specific prophecies detailing the coming of this Anointed One. In addition to prophecies detailing His virgin birth, His birth in Bethlehem, His nascence from the tribe of Judah, His lineage from King David, His sinless life, and His atoning work for the sins of His people,the decease and resurrection of the Jewish Messiah was, too, well documented in the Hebrew prophetic Scriptures long before the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ occurred in history.

Of the best-known prophecies in the Hebrew Scriptures concerning the death of Messiah, Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 certainly stand out. Psalm 22 is especially astonishing since information technology predicted numerous separate elements about Jesus' crucifixion a thousand years before Jesus was crucified. Here are some examples. Messiah will have His hands and His feet "pierced" through (Psalm 22:sixteen; John 20:25). The Messiah's bones will not be broken (a person's legs were usually cleaved after being crucified to speed up their decease) (Psalm 22:17; John 19:33). Men volition bandage lots for Messiah'southward vesture (Psalm 22:eighteen; Matthew 27:35).

Isaiah 53, the archetype messianic prophecy known as the "Suffering Servant" prophecy, also details the expiry of Messiah for the sins of His people. More than than 700 years before Jesus was even born, Isaiah provides details of His life and death. The Messiah volition be rejected (Isaiah 53:three; Luke 13:34). The Messiah volition be killed as a vicarious cede for the sins of His people (Isaiah 53:5–9; 2 Corinthians v:21). The Messiah will exist silent in front of His accusers (Isaiah 53:seven; 1 Peter 2:23). The Messiah will be buried with the rich (Isaiah 53:ix; Matthew 27:57–60). The Messiah will be with criminals in His death (Isaiah 53:12; Mark 15:27).

In addition to the death of the Jewish Messiah, His resurrection from the dead is also foretold. The clearest and best known of the resurrection prophecies is the one penned past Israel'southward Rex David in Psalm 16:x, also written a millennium before the birth of Jesus: "For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor volition Yous allow Your Holy One to undergo decay."

On the Jewish banquet mean solar day of Shavuot (Weeks or Pentecost), when Peter preached the first gospel sermon, he boldly asserted that God had raised Jesus the Jewish Messiah from the dead (Acts ii:24). He and then explained that God had performed this miraculous deed in fulfillment of David'south prophecy in Psalm 16. In fact, Peter quoted the words of David in particular as independent in Psalm 16:8–xi. Some years afterward, Paul did the same matter when he spoke to the Jewish community in Antioch. Like Peter, Paul declared that God had raised Messiah Jesus from the expressionless in fulfillment of Psalm 16:10 (Acts thirteen:33–35).

The resurrection of the Messiah is strongly implied in another Davidic psalm. Once more, this is Psalm 22. In verses 19–21, the suffering Savior prays for deliverance "from the lion'south mouth" (a metaphor for Satan). This desperate prayer is and so followed immediately in verses 22–24 past a hymn of praise in which the Messiah cheers God for hearing His prayer and delivering Him. The resurrection of the Messiah is clearly implied between the ending of the prayer in verse 21 and the beginning of the praise song in verse 22.

And back again to Isaiah 53: after prophesying that the Suffering Servant of God would suffer for the sins of His people, the prophet says He would then be "cut off out of the land of the living." Just Isaiah then states that He (Messiah) "will see His offspring" and that God the Father will "prolong His days" (Isaiah 53:5, 8, 10). Isaiah proceeds to reaffirm the promise of the resurrection in different words: "Every bit a result of the anguish of His soul, He volition see light and be satisfied" (Isaiah 53:11).

Every aspect of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah had been prophesied in the Hebrew Scriptures long before the events always unfolded in the timeline of human history. No wonder that Jesus the Messiah would say to the Jewish religious leaders of His day, "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think yous accept eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me" (John 5:39).
