[[Luke-24]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Luke-23]] | Next: [[Prophecies in John-01]] --- ### He isn't here, but is risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee, saying that the Son of Man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again? *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The resurrection of Jesus is presented as the direct fulfillment of his own specific prophecies regarding his death and his return to life on the third day. *Historical context*: The fulfillment of this prophecy is the central tenet of early Christian history; the account of the empty tomb and subsequent appearances became the catalyst for the growth of the early church. Historically, the specific 'third day' timeline is cross-referenced with the Roman execution of Jesus under Pontius Pilate. *Related to*: [[Luke-09#v22|Luke 9:22]] and [[Luke-18#v31|Luke 18:31]]-33 ### Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself... all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Jesus identifies his life, suffering, and resurrection as the fulfillment of the entire Hebrew Bible (the Tanakh), specifically the Messianic expectations found in the Law, Prophets, and Psalms. *Historical context*: Theologians link this to specific Old Testament passages such as [[Isa|Isaiah 53]] (the Suffering Servant), [[Ps|Psalm 22]] (detailing the suffering of the righteous), and [[Ps-16#v10|Psalm 16:10]] (prophesying that God's Holy One would not see decay). These texts were written centuries before the events of the New Testament. *Related to*: [[Isa|Isaiah 53]], [[Ps|Psalm 22]], [[Ps-16#v10|Psalm 16:10]] ### and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts the global expansion of his message, specifying that it will originate in Jerusalem and reach all ethnic groups (nations). *Historical context*: Historians note that Christianity did indeed emerge as a small sect in Jerusalem following the death of Jesus and successfully expanded into a global religion. This transition from a localized Jewish movement to a diverse international faith began in the 1st century AD. *Related to*: ### Behold, I send out the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of Jerusalem until you are clothed with power from on high. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts a divine endowment of power (the Holy Spirit) that will come upon the disciples while they remain in Jerusalem. *Historical context*: This prophecy is traditionally considered fulfilled at the event of Pentecost ([[Acts|Acts 2]]), where the disciples received the Holy Spirit. This event is historically regarded as the 'birth' of the Christian Church, providing the motivation and boldness for the disciples' subsequent missionary work. *Related to*: [[Joel-02#v28|Joel 2:28]]-29 --- #ai_prophecy
