ylösnousemuksessa

Ylösnousemuksessa is a Finnish linguistic form meaning “in the resurrection.” It is the inessive case of the noun ylösnousemus, which denotes the event or state of rising from the dead. The term combines ylös (up, upward) with nousemus (rising), reflecting the act of rising.

In Christian theology, ylösnousemus refers primarily to the future bodily resurrection of the dead, a central element of eschatology in many traditions. The concept appears in Lutheran, Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant contexts, where it is commonly contrasted with death and viewed as the fulfillment of God's promise, the restoration of life, and the hope of believers. While beliefs about the nature and timing of the resurrection vary among denominations, bodily resurrection is a common thread in mainstream Christian teaching, with differing emphasis on the continuity of personal identity and the afterlife.

In Finnish religious discourse, ylösnousemuksessa is used in sermons, hymns, liturgy, and theological writing to discuss hope, judgment, renewal, and the future of creation. The phrase emphasizes the state or period during which the dead are raised or the faithful are transformed, rather than the act itself in isolation.
