I'm reading a commentary on the book of Revelation that takes the position that it is not eschatological (understood as the end of time/history). Your reminder that the Harvest is eschatological could not be more timely. Revelation is both eschatological AND NOT about the end of history/the end of time.
Good morning all,,and merry Christmas to all, now ,, Mr preston in John 13:36 Jesus told them ,they can not follow me yet,, ( but thou shalt FOLLOW ME after ) WHERE THEY GONNA FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF TO AFTERWARDS ? If no jew nor any gentile nor believer could follow him "WHITHER I GO " ,,BUT AFTERWARDS,,THEY SHALL FOLLOW HIM,AS HE SAID AND BE WHERE I AM AS HE SAID Revelation 14:4 they followed him where he went !!
John 13:36: Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "Where I go, you cannot follow me now, but you will follow me later." This was what Jesus meant by his ascension and his return in the spirit of his Father at Pentecost. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And where I go, you know the way (John 14:3-4). Blessing
Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk where you wanted to go, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and lead you where you do not want to go. But he said this to indicate the death by which he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, Follow me (John 21:18-19). The other who will guide him is the spirit of his father, who later caused him to die as a martyr. Blessing
Good morning. We would all agree the resurrection of Rev 20:4-6 begins the 1000yrs right. I think we also would agree that Paul would be in 1 out of these 3 distinctive groups of course. Then how come Paul, without any confusion, nor obfuscation, says I have not partaken in a resurrection like Jesus’s which would’ve been the hope of Israel. When the FP camp says resurrection took place upon conversion from 30 to 70, does that not make the Apostle sound confused needing us to define resurrection instead of Paul? Paul’s hope is to attain, while explicitly saying he has not attained this specific action of resurrection. How do you explain this. Jesus came in 70 at the end of the Mosaic age amongst many past ages, the soul is judged, not body, and the 1000yrs begins. Would you be willing to explain this concept on a video? And in your new book how will you deal with this also? Hoping to attain, and not attaining isn’t any already not yet guarantee or there would be no call to persevere and run the race in hope of attaining. Same for any man today. Phill 3:10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I MAY ATTAIN the resurrection from the dead. Straining Toward the Goal 12 NOT THAT I HAVE ALREADY ATTAINED this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
Paul is speaking about attaining to or being given the first/better resurrection through his own sufferings in Christ. Hebrews 11:35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. The martyrs were given the first/better resurrection, and that better resurrection is the resurrection that Paul is referring to in Phil 3, and not the general resurrection.
Ok, so when do you think this resurrection took place that Paul is hoping to attain? Are you saying as the main FP camp does that Rev 20:4-6 took place incrementally from 30-70 hoping to get to Rev 20:11-15?
Also Hebrews 11:35 is speaking about Elijah resurrecting the widows son in 1st Kings. Just like Lazarus. That deals with a dead body coming back to life,, cause the widow had faith in God. Nothing to do with judgment on the soul, to enter the presence of God, ruling and reigning with Christ l, on His throne, after the life lived in the body, which is a better resurrection. Rev 3:21 in conjunction with Rev 20:4-6. A resurrection like Jesus’s for the soul to enter the presence of God without any mediation what so ever, the goal of the whole telos
@@duaneking273 that is not what the resurrection is about. The first better resurrection is about being given a higher honor. When is not what Paul is speaking about He is speaking about higher resurrection. as in a higher glory and honor for his sacrifice. The resurrection in Rev 20;4-6 is not about being resurrected to eternal life in the Spirit. The martyrs were raised to life when they were born again and received Christ, they did not need a resurrection to life nor were they awaiting that.
@@ophiuchus9071 well we can walk away disagreeing with respect. No point in throwing assertions back and forth with differing interpretations that of course we don’t see eye to eye on. Thank you.
The end of The Age would bring in The Restoration of The Kingdom back to Israel. Luke 11:50 "so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world (kosmou | κόσμου | gen sg masc), may be charged against this generation" Cain killed righteous Able. Cain was running The Temple System! They had worked their way into the house of Israel and were seated in Heavenly positions! Matthew 23:35 "From the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar" It was the Canaanites that were responsible, not Christ lost sheep of The House of Israel. Acts 1 2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through The Holy Spirit had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 3To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them FORTY DAYS, and "SPEAKING OF THE THINGS PERTAINING TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 4¶And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, LORD AT THIS TIME WILL THOU RESTORE THE KINGDOM AGAIN TO ISRAEL?" Remember Our Lord talked with the Apostles about The Kingdom 40 days, they were not confused about who would posses the kingdom.
