Isaiah 26:19

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”

and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.

For nothing spoken by God is impossible.”

Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.

After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

Behold, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,

But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

“Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your victory?”

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.

For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Therefore prophesy, and tell them, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.

I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

He said these things, and after that, he said to them, “Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep.”

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

For from the top of the rocks I see him. From the hills I see him. Behold, it is a people that dwells alone, and shall not be listed among the nations.

“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.

So we will not turn away from you. Revive us, and we will call on your name.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Lebanon’s glory will be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They will see Yahweh’s glory, the excellence of our God.

Those ransomed by Yahweh will return, and come with singing to Zion. Everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green, and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit.

But Yahweh is with me as an awesome mighty one. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and they won’t prevail. They will be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which will never be forgotten.

It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh, “I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.”

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished.” He bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.

how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”

For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s, at his coming.

When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.

For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy.

Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood—

And behold, a pale horse, and the name of he who sat on it was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.

for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

“Yahweh kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol and brings up.

His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.

All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

After two days he will revive us. On the third day he will raise us up, and we will live before him.

But Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised;

Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

As for me, I shall see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with seeing your form.

You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones will flourish like the tender grass. Yahweh’s hand will be known among his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies.

Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.

For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works.

They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.

As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

Though its root grows old in the earth, and its stock dies in the ground,

so man lies down and doesn’t rise. Until the heavens are no more, they will not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

whom I, even I, will see on my side. My eyes will see, and not as a stranger. “My heart is consumed within me.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

Again he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and tell them, ‘You dry bones, hear Yahweh’s word.

I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

and will hand him over to the Gentiles to mock, to scourge, and to crucify; and the third day he will be raised up.”

Jesus answered them, “Isn’t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?

He came near and touched the coffin, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I tell you, arise!”

Don’t marvel at this, for the hour comes in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice,

having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

My doctrine will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.

About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,

Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.

My root is spread out to the waters. The dew lies all night on my branch.

Your people offer themselves willingly in the day of your power, in holy array. Out of the womb of the morning, you have the dew of your youth.

Awake, awake! Stand up, Jerusalem, you who have drunk from Yahweh’s hand the cup of his wrath. You have drunken the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

“For the seed of peace and the vine will yield its fruit, and the ground will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.

This man went to Pilate, and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up.
