The Strange Prophecy About Jesus’ Burial

Isaiah 53 predicted a strange detail about Jesus’ burial: a criminal’s death, but a rich man’s tomb. This prophecy points to Jesus, the cross, and the resurrection in a powerful way. Jesus was crucified between criminals, but buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, a rich man. Isaiah 53:9 describes this strange combination centuries before Jesus: connected with the wicked, yet with a rich man at his death.
