Peace in Christ.
We have 2 “wills” of the Father here in John 6.
John 6:37-40
(37) All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
(38) For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
The 1st “will” of the Father is for the Son to lose nothing that has been given Him…that it should be raised (to stand up) TO THE last day.
It is not to raise it up “again” but “to stand up” TO the last day…the last day of this age. "Again" is found in some translations (such as the KJV) but does not show up in the Greek. "Again" is implied (erroneously).
We are to be kept standing here in this mortal body in this current age TO the last day of this age.
It is not “at” or “on” or "in" the last day but TO the last day. The “last day” is the last day of this current age that we are living in now.
This 1st “will” applies to Christ the firstfruits….the 144,000….the vessels of His mercy.
We who are “Christ the firstfruits” HEAR and believe on Him and have an age-lasting life now in this age. We do not mortally die but will be kept standing up here in this earth to the last day of this age (having an age-lasting life).
(39) And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up/stand up TO THE (τῇ) last day.
TO THE = Greek - τῇ : The actual dative singular feminine article. Because it is a dative form, it is often translated as "to the" or "for the" in English. In this context, it is “TO THE”.
“at” "on" =[ἐν] “the last day” = τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.
Some manuscripts have this variant text “ἐν” inserted in them giving us a reading of “ἐν” τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ (at or on the last day), but some manuscripts omit the article or use slightly different phrasing (e.g., τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ).
Textual variants are differences in wording, spelling, word order, omissions, or additions.
The variant text (“ἐν” ) is an “addition” and should not be found there as it changes the whole meaning dramatically. We are to be stood up TO the last day and not "on/in/at" the last day.
This is not a “minor” textual variant (“ἐν” ) as supposed by many (and overlooked by all) but a MAJOR one that changes the verses of John 6:39-40 dramatically.
The 2nd “will” of the Father in verse 40 is that everyone who SEES the Son and believes into Him may have an age-lasting life. The people of the outside world are the ones who will SEE and believe.
We, the 144,0000 under the 1st “will” of the Father, manifest Him in our mortal flesh to the people of the outside world (the subject of the 2nd “will”) who will then “behold” Him through us. They behold the Son by beholding us.
(40) And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth (beholds) the Son, and believeth on him, may have (PRESENT TENSE) everlasting (AGE-LASTING) life: and I will raise him up TO the last day.
