Jesus' resurrection was prophesized?

RE: Jesus' resurrection was prophesized?

You already explained how you see it: you admitted that the OT didn't predict Jesus's resurrection, but that when it supposedly happened, some people looked into OT and found a few lines that they considered were the prophecy.

Let's put it this way: Bible is not the evidence that anything it claims happened. And when it comes to 500 witnesses, it's only a claim, and what makes it even more shakier is that it's not repeated in any of the Gospels which were written later. So it was probably an interpolation.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
