Isaiah 26:19
19 aYour dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!
For byour dew is a dew of light,
and the earth will give birth to the dead.
Ezekiel 37:4-10
4Then he said to me, c“Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, dO dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause ebreath ▼▼Or spirit; also verses 6, 9, 10
to enter you, and you shall live. 6 gAnd I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and hcover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, iand you shall know that I am the Lord.” 7So I prophesied jas I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, ka rattling, ▼
▼Or an earthquake (compare 3:12, 13)
and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But mthere was no breath in them. 9Then he said to me, n“Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, oson of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from pthe four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10So I prophesied qas he commanded me, and rthe breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army. John 5:25-29
25“Truly, truly, I say to you, san hour is coming, and is now here, when tthe dead will hear uthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear vwill live. 26 wFor as the Father has life in himself, xso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27And he yhas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28Do not marvel at this, for zan hour is coming when aaall who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29and come out, abthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.John 11:43-44
43When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 acThe man who had died came out, adhis hands and feet bound with linen strips, and aehis face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”Romans 6:4-5
