Peace....
See, that's the reason why I said I feel like :banghead: Wel, you try to paint me into a corner with the question you ask. You want to see specifically where the words "raised from the dead on the third day" are located in the Old Testament. I find it interesting that so fine a point would be placed on the matter. Why do you need to see those words specifically to believe? I ask you, why so specific a question? Is it because you already know that the Old Testament foretells Christ's coming and cruxifiction, and you look for some small point on which to base your denial of Christ's atonement?
Alright, you'd like to see where it is written in the law, psalms and prophets concerning Christ? I'll show you, however if you do not understand prophecy, the fault is not mine.
1. From the Law
(Leviticus 16:20-22)
(20) And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
(21) And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
(22) And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
New Testament
(1 Peter 2:24) Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
2. From the Psalms
(Psalms 22:16) For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
New Testament
(John 20:25) The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
3. From the Prophets
(Jonah 1:17) Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
New Testament
(Matthew 12:40) For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Wel, I hope this helps you to understand verses like:
(Luke 24:44) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
And also verses like
(Luke 24:25-27)
(25) Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
(26) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
(27) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
