THE LORD RESURRECTS TO TERRIFY THE EARTH

By Eli Kittim

Ἡ μετάφρασις τῶν Ἑβδομήκοντα (Septuagint):

εἰσενέγκαντες εἰς τὰ σπήλαια καὶ  εἰς τὰς σχισμὰς τῶν πετρῶν καὶ εἰς  τὰς τρώγλας τῆς γῆς  ἀπὸ προσώπου  τοῦ φόβου κυρίου καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τῆς ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ ὅταν ἀναστῇ θραῦσαι τὴν γῆν (῾Ησαΐας 2.19 LXX).

Translation:

“Enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from the terror of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to terrify the earth” (Isaiah 2.19 NRSV).

The game changer in this verse is the Hebrew term “qum,” which is rendered in English as “rises.” Interestingly enough, the Septuagint translates it as *αναστη* (from the Greek *ανάσταση*, which means “resurrection”). This gives us a completely different interpretation concerning the timing of the Lord’s (Messiah’s) resurrection, namely, as taking place in the end times!
