Can someone post some Old Testament prophecies that would suggest a messiah would raise from the dead after 3 days?

Thanks in advance.

The story of Jonah, who was spit out of the whale after three days (Jonah 1:17).

[El Cid]

Jonah in the belly of the 'big fish' for 3 days. A 'sign' which Jesus, Himself, pointed to. Jonah's prayer in Chapter 2, from the utter darkness of the deep - to the LORD bring his life up from corruption, has always been one to reflect over.

Hosea 6:1-3 (referenced in the article):

1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Consider who is doing the speaking (see Chapter 5). And if we are in Christ, we were crucified with Christ and we are risen with Christ...

There are other verses that point to the promised Deliverer (e.g., 'the seed of the woman crushing the head of the serpent' Pslam 110; etc), but these are the only two that come to mind regarding the resurrection in 3 days. The Bible was written by God - we can never completely plumb its depths - but we treasure the gleanings we find.
