Key Passages
After forty years had passed, an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush in the desert near Mount Sinai.
This Moses, whom they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ is the one whom God sent to be their ruler and redeemer through the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Even Moses demonstrates that the dead are raised, in the passage about the burning bush. For he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
