[[Matt-28]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Matt-27]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Mark-01]] --- ### He is not here, for he has risen, just like he said. Come, see the place where the Lord was lying. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The angel announces that Jesus has risen from the dead, fulfilling Jesus' own prior predictions of his resurrection. *Historical context*: Theologians and historians note that this event fulfills Jesus' specific prophecies in [[Matt-16#v21|Matthew 16:21]], 17:23, and 20:19, where he stated he would be killed and raised on the third day. This claim became the foundational basis for the emergence of the Christian church in the 1st century AD. *Related to*: [[Matt-16#v21|Matthew 16:21]], 17:23, 20:19 ### Go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and behold, he goes before you into Galilee; there you will see him.' *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: An angel of the Lord predicts that the disciples will see the resurrected Jesus in the region of Galilee. *Historical context*: This directive points to a specific geographic reunion that distinguishes the Galilean ministry from the Jerusalem events. It serves as a testable prediction for the disciples within the narrative context of the Gospels. *Related to*: ### But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had sent them. When they saw him, they bowed down to him; but some doubted. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The disciples meet the resurrected Jesus in Galilee as previously instructed by both the angel and Jesus himself. *Historical context*: The fulfillment of the Galilee meeting is recorded here and is considered a fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy made during the Last Supper in [[Matt-26#v32|Matthew 26:32]] ('But after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee'), as well as the angel's word in v7. *Related to*: [[Matt-26#v32|Matthew 26:32]]; [[Matt-28#v7|Matthew 28:7]] ### Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts the global expansion of his movement to all nations and promises his spiritual presence until the end of time. *Historical context*: Historical analysis shows that Christianity transitioned from a small, localized Jewish sect to a global religion within a few centuries. Today, it is practiced in virtually every nation on Earth, fulfilling the scope of this 'Great Commission.' The promise of his presence 'to the end of the age' remains a core spiritual tenet for billions of followers throughout history. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
