Where in the Old Testament do we see a physical, visible manifestation of Christ's resurrection?

The Old Testament passage is Zechariah 13:6, where the prophet records one asking about wounds in His hands, and He answers that He was wounded in the house of His friend. This presents a physical, visible manifestation of the resurrected Christ, showing He retains bodily form.

Les teaches that Zechariah 12:10 and especially 13:6 are Old Testament references to Christ's Second Coming, when He returns to the nation of Israel. In Zechariah 13:6 the prophet writes that one shall say unto Him, "What are these wounds in thy hands?" and He shall answer, "Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friend." Les points out that the Spirit does not have hands or feet, but Christ is bodily. Therefore this is a physical, visible manifestation of His resurrection even in the Old Testament. He then moves to the New Testament and II Corinthians chapter 4.

Zechariah 13:6

And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
