Good grief do you think that Christ was lingering in the grave helpless?
Jesus resurrected HIMSELF by His own power and will and according to His plan.
AND YES, the Bible is unequivocal that the Father and the Holy Spirit also resurrected Jesus.

False. Rather the truth is that we share the same LOVE for His brethren the Jews that Jesus does. And we recognize and truly understand the prophecies that insure that this eternal love will be realized and fulfilled.
Love. Not denial. Not cursing. Not abandonment. Not mockery. Not Alex Jones conspiracy nuttery.
Oh brother,
Galatians 1:1 says that the Father raised Jesus from the dead. First Peter 3:18 says that the Spirit raised Jesus from the dead (see also Romans 1:4, and note that Romans 8:11 clearly says that God will resurrect believers “through His Spirit”). And in John 2:19 Jesus predicts that He will raise Himself from the dead (see also John 10:18). So, when we answer the question of who resurrected Jesus, we can say God did. And by that we can mean it was the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I guess the absolute weight of the times stamps throughout the NT is causing you some insecurity!
Paul the Apostle
1 Corinthians 10:11
“…upon whom the ends of the ages have come.”
Romans 13:11–12
“Now our salvation is nearer… the night is far spent, the day is at hand.”
Hebrews 1:2 (traditionally attributed to Paul)
“In these last days He has spoken to us by His Son.”
Hebrews 10:25
“…as you see the Day approaching.”
Another Augustinian heresy that needs to be extinguished.
Are you paying attention @HeIsHere ? Another one of your heresies bites the dust.
Jhn 10:17
Therefore doth my Father love me, because *** I *** lay down my life, that *** I *** might take it again.
Jhn 10:18
No man taketh it from me, but *** I *** lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
So what are you telling us?
That you actually believe (as does @HeIsHere and @ChristRoseFromTheDead )
that the crucifixion per se is the "abomination" spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place?
If even now you remain confused, you had better review my earlier posts on the matter.

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. John 5:30
John 2:19-21 (NIV): "Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.'"
John 10:17-18 (NIV): "...I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again."
Ever heard of the hypostatic union? I am sure you have.
Must have went in one ear and out the other.
You really aren't a very serious student of the word. You just pick and choose stuff that suits your fancy without an honest effort to discern the truth. Jesus had no power to take back his life, but he did have the authority to receive it back because he was sinless. Notice the difference:
Therefore my Father loves me because I lay down my life that I might receive (λαμβάνω) it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have authority (ἐξουσία) to lay it down, and I have authority (ἐξουσία) to receive (λαμβάνω) it again. This commandment have I received (λαμβάνω) of my Father. John 10:17-18
G2983 λαμβάνω lambano (lam-ɓa'-nō) v.

G1849 ἐξουσία exousia (e-xou-siy'-a) n.
