Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from ἐκ (ek, "out of") and ἀνάστασις (anástasis, "resurrection").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐξανάστασις, the concept of resurrection is present in the Hebrew Scriptures. The closest related Hebrew terms would be תְּחִיָּה (teḥiyyah, "revival" or "resurrection") and קוּם (qum, "to rise" or "to stand up"), which are used in contexts that speak of rising or being raised, often in a prophetic or eschatological sense.

Usage: This term is used in the New Testament to denote a particular aspect of resurrection, often implying a select or special resurrection.

Context: The term ἐξανάστασις appears in the New Testament in Philippians 3:11, where the Apostle Paul expresses his desire to attain "the resurrection from the dead." This unique term is used to convey a deeper theological significance, suggesting not just a general resurrection but a specific, perhaps more exalted, form of resurrection. In Philippians 3:11, Paul writes, "and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead." (BSB)

The context of Philippians 3 reveals Paul's intense pursuit of knowing Christ and the power of His resurrection, as well as sharing in His sufferings. The use of ἐξανάστασις here underscores the hope of a future resurrection that is intimately connected with the believer's union with Christ. It implies a resurrection that is not merely physical but also spiritual, involving a transformation into the likeness of Christ.

Theologically, ἐξανάστασις can be seen as pointing to the eschatological hope of believers, where the resurrection is not just an event but a participation in the life and victory of Christ. This term invites reflection on the nature of the resurrection life promised to those who are in Christ, highlighting the transformative power of the resurrection that begins in the present life and culminates in the future.
