[[Ps-16]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-15]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-17]] --- ### For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A messianic prediction that the 'Holy One' would be delivered from the realm of the dead (Sheol) and that his body would not undergo physical decay or decomposition. *Historical context*: In the New Testament, specifically in the sermons of Peter ([[Acts-02#v25|Acts 2:25]]–31) and Paul ([[Acts-13#v35|Acts 13:35]]–37), this verse is identified as a prophecy fulfilled by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostles argued that King David could not have been speaking of himself because David died, was buried, and his body underwent corruption (decay). They concluded that David, as a prophet, was foreseeing the resurrection of Jesus, whose body was raised on the third day before decay could occur. *Related to*: ### You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prediction regarding the attainment of eternal life and the exaltation of the 'Holy One' to a place of supreme honor at the 'right hand' of God. *Historical context*: Theologians and early church leaders linked this to the Ascension and exaltation of Jesus. In [[Acts-02#v33|Acts 2:33]], Peter states that Jesus, having been 'exalted to the right hand of God,' fulfilled the promise of being shown the 'path of life' through his resurrection and subsequent transition into the divine presence to rule eternally. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
