The Israelites entering the Red Sea represented Jesus entering the tomb,
and the Israelites’ landing from the Red Sea was a prophecy of Jesus’ resurrection.
God established the Day of Firstfruits in the Old Testament
so that we would not forget this work.
Just as the Day of Firstfruits was kept on the first Sunday following the Passover
and the Festival of Unleavened Bread in the Old Testament, the resurrection of Jesus,
who is the firstfruits of those who had fallen asleep, also occurred on a Sunday.
As a result, the saints of the early Church came to hold the belief
that even if they died, they would live again, and they always found joy
in preaching the news of salvation, standing on God’s side.
But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,
the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:20
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.
The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open.
The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection
and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.
Matthew 27:51–53
