The returning of the dead to life, a late Hebrew Bible belief (Isa 26: 19; Dan 12: 2-3, 13) that first became prevalent in Judaism during the time of the Maccabees (after 168 b c e ) and became a part of the Pharisees' doctrine Like the prophets Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 17: 17-24; 2 Kings 4: 18-37), Jesus performed several resuscitations: of the widow of Nain's son (Luke 7: 11-17), the daughter of Jairus (Mark 5: 21-43), and Lazarus (John 11: 1-44) Unlike these personages, however, Jesus ascended to heaven after his own resurrection (Acts 1: 7-8) Paul gives the fullest discussion of the resurrection in the New Testament (1 Thess 4; 1 Cor 15), although he leaves many questions unanswered (see also Matt 25: 31-46 and Rev 20: 13)
the awakening from the dream of death; the total change in mind that transcends the ego and its perceptions of the world, the body, and death, allowing us to identify completely with our true Self; also refers to the resurrection of Jesus
A rising from the dead; a coming back to life In Scripture, the rising of Jesus from the dead after his crucifixion and burial; and the rising of all the dead on the Last Day
The process by which Christ raises people from the dead Bringing the dead body to life According to this We die once, all are resurrected to face the judgment and the sinner will face a second eternal death The point is we are the same people when we are resurrected See Reincarnation
