But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.
“But now, as to whether the dead will be raised—even Moses proved this when he wrote about the burning bush. Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, he referred to the Lord as ‘the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.’
What does Luke 20:37 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Luke 20:37
Now that the dead are raised
Or that there will be a resurrection of the dead, this is a proof
of it: even Moses showed at the bush:
when the Lord appeared to him out of it, and he saw it burning
with fire, and not consumed; when the Lord called to him out of
it by the following name, as he has recorded it in ( Exodus 3:6 ) . Hence it
is said, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and
the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob;
for though the Lord called himself so, yet Moses likewise calls
him by these names, when he gives an account of this affair, and
when he went from him to the children Israel; (See Gill on
Matthew
22:32).
