Overview

In the New Testament, Jesus and Paul spoke of the “third day” resurrection as an event “in accordance with the Scriptures.” But what do the Hebrew Scriptures have to say about the Messiah’s resurrection? The Resurrection of Jesus in the Hebrew Old Testament Collection analyzes—and provides fresh insight on—the numerous resurrection references and figures of speech in the Old Testament. Warren Gage guides readers through Hebrew Scripture to shed light on occurences of the “third day” in Milestones to Emmaus and Return from Emmaus, then shares his own views through a fictitous account in The Road to Emmaus.

The Logos Bible Software edition of the Resurrection of Jesus in the Hebrew Old Testament Collection is designed to encourage and stimulate your study and understanding of the resurrection. Scripture passages link directly to your English translations and to the original-language texts, and important theological concepts link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. In addition, you can perform powerful searches by topic and find what other authors, scholars, and theologians have to say about the resurrection.

Does the Old Testament clearly teach the resurrection? Every time Jesus speaks of his coming resurrection, he claims that the Scriptures teach that it must happen on “the third day” (Matt. 16:21; Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22; John 2:19). Paul, likewise, teaches that the Scriptures require Christ’s resurrection to be on the third day (1 Cor. 15:4). Milestones to Emmaus explores 40 explicit references to “the third day” or “three days” in the Old Testament. Gage applies the “suffering followed by glory” template that Jesus taught (Luke 24:26) to each reference. Approaching each of these as Gospel texts in the Hebrew Bible, Gage “reverse engineers” his way back to an understanding of Jesus’ resurrection hermeneutics.

The New Testament figures of speech for resurrection include

• Birth from barrenness
• Awakening from sleep
• Revival from thirst or hunger
• Deliverance through baptismal waters of judgment
• Release from imprisonment
• Return from exile
• Death decree and release
• The raising up of a fallen tabernacle

Return from Emmaus explores these figures of speech in the Old Testament to see how the evangelists and apostles would have identified the gospel of resurrection in numerous Hebrew passages.

How did Jesus spend the afternoon of the day of his resurrection? This fictional account attempts to recreate the conversation Jesus had with Cleopas and his companion on the walk to Emmaus. The dialogue follows the pattern of third-day passages in the Old Testament that describe a release from death. It begins, as Jesus did, with “Moses and all the prophets.” Join us on this walk. See if your heart does not “burn within” you as Christ’s suffering and third day glory are opened in the Old Testament, just as Jesus claimed!
