Isa 65:20, NIV. The post Isa 65:20: Will There Be Death in the New Earth? appeared first on Jon Paulien's Blog. Perhaps the writer of this post has not studied their sabbath school lesson for this week as it is clearly answered in the Sunday lesson. Many prophecies in the Bible overlap current events with future events. To assume there will be death in the new earth just goes so much against all the other prophecies and promises in the Bible. https://ssnet.org/lessons/21a/less13.html Quote >>>Texts in blue type are quotes<<< ***************************************************************************** And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.

Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kevin H Posted May 6, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 6, 2021 Excellent! At AUC we were taught that there are 3 correct ways to use scripture: Exegesis, or what it meant to the original readers/writers/editors, and this frequently offers a chance for a moderately short time for an eschatology, and includes language usage, geography, history, culture etc. A second way is “Analogy” taking the principles and reapplying to similar situation and to take from the past principles to apply on how we can cycle around to times where eschatology is possible, and one will be THE end, but God works with principles and our free will. A third way is if there are words in the Bible that give a perfect description even though it is not properly an exegesis nor analogy. Of course we need to be careful with all of these. We tend to see eschatology in how it is possible for our time frame and have a danger of trying to force that on earlier times, and events that were possible back in earlier times, we tend to tap-dance over. Deuteronomy 4 did predict the exile for being the last days. The Old Testament gives two possible frameworks for spreading the gospel. One is being in the land (the major intersection of the ancient world) where. if faithful God would bless them, and those passing through the land would notice the blessings and the world come to Israel to learn the gospel. If unfaithful God would send curses to encourage them to change. If nothing else worked they would go into exile. In the exile they were to share with their neighbors their unfaithfulness and God’s faithfulness, and thus spread the gospel, and the exile could end in a second great exodus lead by the Messiah. While I did not find these terms in “The Role of Israel in Old Testament Prophecy” in the SDABC which gives an excellent overview, nor in our religion classes at AUC where we would study these, I term these two possibilities “Land Theology” and “Exile Theology” One is stay in the center of the great trade route intersection and let the world come to you for the gospel, the other is go ye into all the world and spread the gospel. Both Second Isaiah and Daniel start out with the impending great second exodus from Babylon lead by the Messiah to set up his kingdom, but then has a great disappointment and encouragement for their co-exiles to repent, and then end with a looking forward to a lackluster return from the exile and the Messiah being in the future. Some of these trouble texts at the end of Isaiah is what God was hoping to do with Israel upon return from the exile to lead up to the Messiah, or what Daniel describes as the 70 weeks of years. phkrause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
