The Second Coming
There will be a general resurrection of the just and the unjust. The just who are in Christ to everlasting life, the unjust to eternal death.
1 – That is the hope in the old testament.
Psalm 16:10 (NKJV) For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
Resurrection in OT:
Isaiah 53:3,9,12, 26:19,
Psalm 73:23, 49:14-15
Daniel 12:2 (NKJV) And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
Hebrews 11:35 (NKJV) Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Jesus taught the resurrection:
Luke 14:14, John 5:28, Mat 22:23,
Matthew 22:30-32 (NKJV) 30 “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. 31 “But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
Acts 4:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Acts 17:32 (NKJV) And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this [matter.]”
Acts 23:6, 24:14
1 Corinthians 15:17-19 (NKJV) 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith [is] futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.
Acts 26:22
