In this last chapter of the Gospel record of Matthew, we have the resurrection of our Lord.  He has risen as stated before in Prophesy of the third day.  In this chapter we have his declaring of authority and his great commission to go and teach all nations.

PROPHESY OF THIRD DAY RESURRECTION
KJV Hosea 6:2
 2.  After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

CHRIST TELLS THEM HE WOULD RAISE ON THE THIRD DAY
KJV Matthew 17:22-23
22  And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
23  And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

CHRIST TELLS AGAIN OF HIS THIRD DAY RAISING
KJV Matthew 20:18-19
18  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
19  And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

HE TELLS THEM HE WILL BE IN GALILEE
KJV Matthew 26:32
 32.  But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.

DANIEL PROPHECIES OF THE RULING AND KINGDOM OF CHRIST BEING EVERLASTING
KJV Daniel 7:13-14
 13.  I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
 14.  And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Read LUKE 24 and **JOHN 20-21 to see the doubts that arose and a longer account of this day!
