1. IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

It is set forth in various ways:

_In Word:_ Job 19:25-27--"For I know that my redeemer liveth,

and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though

after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see

God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and

not another; though my reins be consumed within me." Also Psa.

16:9; 17:15; Dan. 12:1-3.

_In Figure:_ Gen. 22:5 with Heb. 11:19--"Accounting that God

was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he

received him in a figure."

_In Prophecy:_ Isa. 26:19--"Thy dead men shall live, together

with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell

in the dust." The words "men" and "together with" may be omitted--"Thy

dead (ones) shall live." These words are Jehovah's answer to Israel's

wail as recorded in vv. 17, 18. Even if they refer to resurrection

of Israel as a nation, they yet teach a bodily resurrection. See

also Hosea 13:14.

_In Reality:_ 1 Kings 17 (Elijah); 2 Kings 4:32-35 (Elisha

and the Shunamite's son); 13:21 (Resurrection through contact with

the dead bones of Elisha).

The Old Testament therefore distinctly teaches the resurrection of

the body. Mark 9:10, which might seem to indicate that the apostles

did not know of a bodily resurrection, is accounted for by their

unwillingness to believe in a crucified Christ.
