It was reserved for Another, and for Him alone, to come forth from the tomb in the power of the life that was in Himself, and to be declared Son of God in power, Son of the living God, through His own resurrection.

• This thing became much more real, even in a material way, at the death of our beloved Savior. It was at His death, when He had dismissed His spirit, that the bodies of saints who had fallen asleep were raised to enter into the holy city. From the moral and spiritual aspect it is by entering through faith into contact with a dead Christ that we have eternal life and resurrection in the last day (John. 6:54). In His death the power of death has been conquered for us, and the dominion of him who held this power is broken. (“Joash, King of Israel, and Elisha: 2 Kings 13:10-25” by H.L. Rossier)
• From the moment that this dead body, typical of Israel, is laid among the dead and comes into actual contact with the dead prophet, from the moment that he “touched the bones of Elisha, and he revived, and stood upon his feet” (2 Kings 13:21). So it will be with Israel in the last days; Israel will find national life again and come forth from among the dead from the moment they enter into relationship with Him whom they have pierced, and believe in Him. This will be the last miracle of grace worked for this people, when it will have been demonstrated that the nation’s state is without resource and hopeless. (“Joash, King of Israel, and Elisha: 2 Kings 13:10-25” by H.L. Rossier)
