The Importance of Resurrection in the Kingdom

The resurrection of the dead is also a hallmark of the kingdom, says Rashi. This explains why Yeshua tells his disciples as he sends them out to preach that the Messianic era is at hand and they are to raise the dead. In Mark 6 it says, he charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff. No bread, no bag, no money in their belts, but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. And this idea is also rooted in our Torah portion.
