How do we know that Jesus' resurrection was foretold in scripture?
Answered in 1 source
The resurrection of Jesus was foretold in various scriptures throughout the Old Testament.
The testimony of the resurrection can be found throughout the Old Testament in types and shadows, foreshadows of Christ’s redemptive work. For example, the story of Noah's Ark illustrates how those inside the Ark endured the wrath of God, paralleling Christ bearing our sin. Likewise, Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac, believing in God's power to raise him from death, exemplifies faith in resurrection (Hebrews 11:19). The disciples were initially blinded to these truths, reflecting our natural need for the Holy Spirit's illumination to reveal spiritual realities, including Christ's resurrection.
