He was resurrected - no need to add “from death” because that would be understood from the context.
“His career was resurrected”
“Jesus was resurrected”

He has revived his career/lifestyle/imagination.
He was revived several times after dying on the operating table.

if we can say he will revive so why did you use was here you could only say he revived several times? we can use it that way right he was revived means someone revived him and he revived me he revived on his own right? for example someone unconscious and starts to wake up so i can say look he is reviving?

But I’ve already given you an example of resurrect being used in the active mode. See earlier response above.

Resurrect and revive can both be used either actively or passively.
I think we will leave it there now.

What does he is reviving mean? See a translation

Literally, he is coming back to life. However, it is often used less literally. For example:He is coming round (eg after fainting or a great shock to the body which may have made you lose consciousness)

@gpubg5614 No, just think in terms of someone having been knocked out and lost consciousness beginning to become aware of what is happening around them and being able to communicate with others. To revive is to bring back to life. I revived my chances of promotion at work.

@gpubg5614 Oh well, in such a case, yes, but I try to live in the real world, hence my initial responses.

He will revive = he will come back to life. He will revive her = he will bring her back to lifeYou cannot say “He will resurrect” without adding what he will resurrect. “He will resurrect his career as a singer if he can find high profile backers.”
