Great post, very thought out!
Thank you.
God brings the sword and His mighty hand and scatters the people amongst the nations and brings wrath.
Agreed
I believe there is only one Day of the Lord where he will destroy the earth and it will roll up as a scroll;
Scripture tells the opposite tale. There have been MANY "Day of the Lord" events In Israel's History.
I listed a few of them but can list more if you'd like?
Heaven and earth have not passed away. What you have listed are shadows which will foretell a future event.
Where does scripture teach you this?
...And Why does Isaiah call the establishment of Israel as a nation "the planting of heavens and laying the foundations of earth?" Since the creation of Israel is called by the Prophets "the creation of Heavens and earth" Does it not follow that the destruction of Israel would be called by the prophets "the destruction of, or passing of heavens and earth"?
Scripture plainly teaches that the physical earth and material cosmos will exist forever (Ecc 1:4; Ps 78:69; 89:36-37; 104:5; 148:4-6; Eph 3:21) and that human generations are perpetual (Ps 145:13; Dan 4:3,34; Dan 7:14,18,27; Lk 1:33) so any scripture depicting their destruction must be understood in that light and harmonized, and the only way to do that is affirm that the prophets often used language of universal cataclysm to depict the fall of a nation, which I have done.
These all have happened and most on the same day the Ninth of AV. If you look at the stories in scripture they have duel meanings a physical and a spiritual. Passover is an amazing example, physical when they Israel was saved out of bondage by the blood of the lamb and how we are saved by the blood of the lamb out of bondage on the same day as Passover. That is the shadows that bring the reality.
I am very familiar with OT Typology, but Old Testament types become New Testament Fulfillments....The Messianic fulfillment is not a shadow itself of some future, greater fulfillment...
Should we be expecting another virgin Birth? another Crusifixion, another future, greater redemption from Sin? No, For Christ is not the Shadow but the object itself. And to circle back to The Sabbath, it is true of that as well.. Sabbath Rest = Shadow, Rest in Christ = Fulfillment
I am just curious, what is with your Grateful Dead images?
I'm a fan. I saw 255 shows before Jerry passed.
Thanks for your kind wordsThanks again for the awesome post!!
