Stone Tablet Foretells Resurrection The above title was attached to an article dated
Wednesday, July 9, 2008. A tablet found on the eastern bank of the We need to keep in mind that the resurrection of
Christ was foretold in the Old Testament. Peter on the Day of Pentecost quoted
Psalm 16.10, For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your
Holy One to see corruption.” Jesus compared His resurrection to Jonah being in
the belly of the fish for three days in Matthew 12.40. It should not be surprising that a tablet written
before the birth of Christ would contain a reference to the resurrection. Nor is
it surprising that someone claimed before his death that he would be raised in
three days, as was done by a rebel, Simon, that was killed by Roman soldiers
four years before Jesus’ birth. However there was been only one person to be
resurrected. D.T. |
