Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of resurrection in the Old Testament is less explicitly developed but can be related to terms such as חַיָּה (chayah, Strong's 2421), meaning "to live," and קוּם (qum, Strong's 6965), meaning "to rise" or "to stand." These terms reflect the themes of life, renewal, and restoration that are fully realized in the New Testament understanding of ἀνάστασις. Usage: The word ἀνάστασις appears in various contexts within the New Testament, often associated with the hope and promise of life after death. It is a central tenet of Christian doctrine, emphasizing the victory over death and the assurance of eternal life through Christ. Context: The concept of ἀνάστασις is foundational to Christian theology, encapsulating the belief in life beyond the grave. In the New Testament, ἀνάστασις is frequently linked to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is seen as the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep (1 Corinthians 15:20). This event is pivotal, as it confirms Jesus' divinity and the truth of His teachings.
