1815. exanastasis
Strong's Concordance
exanastasis: a rising again
Original Word: ἐξανάστασις, εως, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: exanastasis
Phonetic Spelling: (ex-an-as'-tas-is)
Definition: a rising again
Usage: a rising up and out, resurrection.

HELPS Word-studies
1815 eksanástasis (from 1537 /ek, "completely out from," intensifying 450 /anístēmi, "rise up") – properly, rising up to experience the full-impact of resurrection, i.e. thoroughly removed from the realm of death (the grave).


Strong's Concordance
Anastasis: a standing up, i.e. a resurrection, a raising up, rising
Original Word: ἀνάστασις, εως, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: anastasis
Phonetic Spelling: (an-as'-tas-is)
Definition: a standing up, a resurrection, a raising up, rising
Usage: a rising again, resurrection.

Now most people believe they are going to receive a physical resurrected body ; though I do not believe that in accordance with 1 Corinthians 15 which talks about - a Spiritual resurrection leaving this physical body into a new resurrected spiritual body. There is apparently a resurrection that is out - than the ordinary - which is exanastasis. The regular resurrection is anastasis - all people will receive it after this life. Anastasis but the one instant of exanastasis seems like that of a better resurrection.

7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain[b] to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already attained,[c] or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have [d]apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3:7-14 is were Exanastasis is found it only occurs one time.

Hebrews 11 talks about a better resurrection

Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

Thoughts on these things?

Great post and topic! Thank you for sharing❤️
Luke 2:34 Compliments your topic (Imo). To put it in context including the verses surrounding the verse. Maybe my imagination runs wild but I see the ultimate Infant baptism ever in the blessing of a child in Jesus Christ “behold, this [child] is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed, and a sword will pierce even your own soul —to the end that many hearts may be revealed.”

I can’t imagine as a father and mother at an infant baptism (to bless God) hearing these words spoken over an infant, can you? To be honest in reality it would scare the daylights out of me as a parent. It would be a christening I would dread and God might be saying what he said to Peter when Peter complained over Him going to His crucifixion “get behind Me Satan”. truthfully how many would take their infant to a christening to be blessed knowing this was the “custom of the law” and outcome of baptism of the infant? ‘And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the Child Jesus to carry out for Him the custom of the Law, then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, “Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace (1 Corinthians 1:15-24) According to Your word; For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples A Light of Revelation
Revelation 1:1 to the Gentiles, And the glory of Your people Israel.”
And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him. And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary His mother, “behold, this [child] is appointed for the fall (a fall) and rise (a standing up, resurrection, a raising up, rising) of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed, and a sword will pierce even your own soul—to the end that the thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”

what of infant [child]baptism with these words spoken as they were to Mary to carry out for Him the custom of the Law: “behold, this [child] is appointed for the fall (a fall) and rise (a standing up, resurrection, a raising up, rising) of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed, and a sword will piece even your own soul—to the end that the thoughts from many hearts may be revealed.”
