HOPE OF RESURRECTION

 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. (Proverb 10:28).

Blessed is the man that trusteth in Yahweh, and whose hope Yahweh is. (Jeremiah 17:7).

It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh. (Lamentations 3:26).

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. (Galatians 5:5).

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also the Messiah shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. (Philippians 1:20).

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. (Romans 8:24-25).

Apostle Paul made this statement in his defense before the chief priests and all their council: But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. (Acts 23:6).

And, before Hananiah the high priest and the elders: But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the Elohim of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: And have hope toward Elohim, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. (Acts 24:14-15).

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the magnificence of Elohim. And not only so, but we rejoice in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of Elohim is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy [kodesh] Spirit which is given unto us. (Romans 5:2-5).

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see Eloah: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. (Job 19:25-27).

These words written by Paul concerning resurrection are a pillar in building our faith which was once delivered to the saints: If in this life only we have hope in the Messiah, we are of all men most miserable. But now is the Messiah risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in the Messiah shall all be made alive. (1 Corinthians 15:19-22).

For if we believe that Yahshua died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Yahshua will Elohim bring with him… For the Master himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Yahweh: and the dead in the Messiah shall rise first: (1 Thessalonians 4:14, 16).
