1 | What does "the perfect" mean? | 1 Cor 13:10 | Bauhinia | 189657 | ||
OldPilgrim: In my original post, I cited Daniel 12:4. It reads: "But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great [Amos 8:12.]." (1 Peter 1:10, 11) So, perfect knowledge of God's purposes will come in "the time of the end." (Matthew 13:39, 40; 24:3) 1 Corinthians 13:12 says: "Now we see in a mirror dimly," that is, a hazy understanding of God's purpose. "But then," that is, when "the perfect comes," perfect knowledge of God's purpsoe in the time of the end, we'll know "face to face," that is, intimately. (Deuteronomy 5:4; 34:10) "Now I know in part, but then [in the time of the end] I will know fully." Paul will "know fully" because he'll be alive in heaven then, just as those on earth will know fully at that time, too. (Ephesians 3:10, 11) |
