Isa 26:19 | TNotes | STEP | 26:19 those who die ... will live: There is hope for the remnant. Some hold the minimal interpretation that this means the people would be restored to the land after the Exile (see Ezek 37:11-12 ) or that the Lord would preserve Jerusalem (see Isa 29:4 , 6-8 ). More likely it refers to the resurrection of the body from the grave (see 25:7-8 ). The Old Testament has little to say about the resurrection, but this text anticipates fuller development in the New Testament (see 1 Cor 15:12-58 ).

‏ Isaiah 26:19

26:19 ^a those who die ... will live: There is hope for the remnant. Some hold the minimal interpretation that this means the people would be restored to the land after the Exile (see Ezek 37:11-12 ^b) or that the Lord would preserve Jerusalem (see Isa 29:4 ^c, 6-8 ^d). More likely it refers to the resurrection of the body from the grave (see 25:7-8 ^e). The Old Testament has little to say about the resurrection, but this text anticipates fuller development in the New Testament (see 1 Cor 15:12-58 ^f).
