Book excerpt: This is a traditio-historical study of three ideas concerning the eschatological resurrection which Paul brings forward in 1 Corinthians 15:20-23: (a) Jesus' resurrection forms the beginning of the eschatological resurrection; (b) the eschatological resurrection will take place through participation in Jesus' resurrection; (c) the eschatological resurrection will take place at the time of Jesus' parousia. The three ideas are investigated in the following way. Firstly, their occurrence and function in Paul is set out, subsequently their origin is reconstructed, and, finally, analogous Jewish concepts are compared. A critical review of earlier research on these ideas and a literary and historical exegesis of the relevant sections of 1 Corinthians 15 precede the investigations.

Sun Myung Moon in the Divine Principle, will stimulate a meaningful conversation about the existence of the Messiah and his importance in the Second Coming. Theories discussed include the use and importance of miracles, how Satan has usurped the role of the divine in everyday lives, and how people of all faiths can look to the Lord of the Second Advent for redemption. Did Christ rise physically, spiritually, or both? Were his miracles of the physical nature or the spiritual nature? How can we connect with him to go to Heaven?

Download or read book Surprised by Hope written by N. T. Wright and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2008-02-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years Christians have been asking, "If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?" It turns out that many believers have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven. Award-winning author N. T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian's future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright, who is one of today's premier Bible scholars, asserts that Christianity's most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. He provides a magisterial defense for a literal resurrection of Jesus and shows how this became the cornerstone for the Christian community's hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Wright then explores our expectation of "new heavens and a new earth," revealing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the "second coming" of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise. Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation—and if this has already begun in Jesus's resurrection—the church cannot stop at "saving souls" but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life. Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but before it.
Download or read book Where Is the Promise of His Coming written by David L. Mathewson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Testament contains numerous statements by Jesus and New Testament authors that seem to suggest that Jesus was coming back soon, in their lifetime! But two thousand years later here we still are. How do we handle this apparent “failed prophecy”? Did Jesus and his followers get it wrong? Did they miscalculate the timing of Jesus’ return? Or were Jesus and the authors of the New Testament anticipating something else? The purpose of this book is to examine this issue by looking in detail at the New Testament texts that seem to promise that Christ is coming back right away. It will provide a possible answer to these questions in light of the tension between the promised imminent return of Christ and its delay.

Download or read book Watching for the Parousia Were Jesus Apostles Confused written by Don K. Preston (D. Div.) and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Matthew 24:3, in response to Jesus' prediction of the coming destruction of Jerusalem, the disciples asked: "When shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of your coming and the end of the age." All futurist eschatologies hold that the disciples were confused and wrongly connected that impending Jewish catastrophe with Christ's coming at the "end of time"? But, what if the apostles were NOT confused? What if they were right to make that connection? What if the end of the age and Christ's coming were in fact inseparably linked in prophecy?In this examination of these probitive questions, prolific author, debater, lecturer, Don K. Preston sets out in this unprecedented book to show that it was not Jesus' apostles who were confused, but rather, futurist commentators! This is a ground breaking book. You will not find another book like it! But, the exegesis is rock solid, the logic is compelling, the evidence is powerful! This book may well change your entire view of eschatology!

Download or read book The Parousia written by Israel P. Warren and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parousia: A Critical Study of the Scripture Doctrines of Christ's Second Coming, His Reign as King; The Resurrection of the Dead; And the General Judgemet It is with the utmost diffidence that I give this book to the public. The peculiar nature of the subject, the wide diversity of opinions concerning it among Christians, and the oft-expressed sentiment that any one who pretends to much confidence as to what the Scriptures design to teach us in relation to it betrays a lack of mental sobriety, if not of sanity, might well deter men of far greater professional ability than myself from anything so rash. But having, after many years of study begun under the most painful perplexities, attained certain views of the subject which afford groat satisfaction to my own mind, I cannot resist the feeling that others similarly perplexed may possibly be equally relieved by a statement of those views and the grounds on which they are based. That feeling has been much strengthened by the favor with which some articles on the Parousia published a year or two ago in the Christian Mirror were received, and the very frequent requests since made that they might be printed in a more permanent form. I am not vain enough to expect that all, perhaps not even many, will accept the views here set forth. Some will reject them outright, without investigation. Many others will stand in doubt, or more actively oppose them, because in a few respects - matters of form and costume chiefly - they differ somewhat from the more commonly accepted views. Still, I venture to crave a candid hearing from all, and an unprejudiced comparison of the positions taken with the Scriptures, "whether these things are so." And if there be a seeming of presumption in venturing to publish any views on such a subject, let this be my apology, that God has taken many ages and used many builders in rearing up the edifice of Christian truth, and though all may not be master builders, yet each one, even the humblest, may bring his brick, which the great Proprietor will find a place for. One or two remarks I maybe permitted to make as to the principles of Interpretation which have guided me in this inquiry. The first is to have primary regard to the ideas and modes of speaking current among the Jews in Christ's day. Says Prof. Stuart, in his Letters to Channing, "Nothing is clearer to my apprehension than that God, when he speaks to men, speaks in language which is used by those whom he addresses."

Download or read book The Return of Jesus Christ With Judgment written by Marc A. Carr and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every believer wants the biblical resources to determine truth. Here are those verses, every one of them, regarding the Lord's return with judgment and the resurrection of all who have ever lived, to be so judged. The end result is clear, unambiguously straight forward and above all simple, if the reader is willing to endure the reading of a plethora of passages. And willing to accept what the Lord and the apostles actually said. For, what was said became what was written. To find all the truth available about the whole of the Lord's second coming, the judgment and the general resurrection comes down to this: Is what the Lord said more important than what one presently believes. Or is what one presently believes more important than what the Lord, Himself, said, what Paul said. At first, the question seems ludicrous until one realizes how many different beliefs among believers there are about the Lord's return, the judgment and the timing of the resurrection, despite what Jesus said. Marc asks: "why would anyone not believe in one general resurrection when the Lord Himself taught one general resurrection? Why would anyone not believe in one judgment of all people when the Lord returns?" The answer can only be because one permitted himself to be so blindly conditioned to the rapture and a literal millennial period that the return of the Lord with judgment and the resurrection of all, at once is impossible to accept. Hopefully, this work will contribute to opening some of those entrenched minds and keep others from becoming the same. Marc presently lives in Orlando Florida where he pastors Blessed Fellowship Orlando, an outreach ministry of Orlando Prayer and Worship Center, Senior Pastor Roy Futch.
