What is Resurrection?• Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men

What could this mean?• 1 Kings 13:31 And it came to

bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.

bones: not one of them is broken.• Eph_5:30 For we are members of his

body, of his flesh, and of his bones. • Heb_11:22 By faith Joseph, when he

died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
