Isaiah's Account of the Lord's Resurrection in the Last Days

By Author Eli Kittim

According to Isaiah's biblical account concerning "the last days" (Isa. 2:2) of humanity, "the LORD" will resurrect just prior to Judgment Day. Isaiah says the following:

"Men will go into caves of the rocks, and into holes of the ground before the terror of the LORD, and before the splendor of His majesty, when He ARISES to make the earth tremble" (Isa. 2:19, NASV, emphasis added).

Interestingly enough, the Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, translates the Hebrew word qum with the word αναστη, from the Greek word ανάστασις (anástasis), meaning resurrection. The frequently-used apocalyptic phrase “Arise, O God” (cf. Psalm 68.1) is a divine imperative that is hereby rendered in eschatological categories. The Hebrew word qum (i.e., cumi in Mark 5.41), & in Greek (e.g. Isa. 2.19 LXX) anastē — means "resurrection."

So what is the purpose of this brief study? We're trying to show that according to Isaiah's depiction, "the LORD ... arises to make the earth tremble" (Isa. 2:19) "in the last days" (Isa. 2:2), just before Judgment. A resurrection that had occurred two millennia ago would in fact contradict this reading. Yet the New Testament itself doesn't contradict this at all, but rather confirms it:

"Once in the end of the world hath he [Jesus] appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. ... After this the judgment" (Heb. 9:26-27, KJV).

So, as you can see, the Church’s teaching contradicts both the Old and New Testaments by telling us that this event already happened.

"O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!"
