1 | Dr. B. What does aggelos mean? | Eph 4:9 | drbloor | 171681 | ||
Dear Searcher, 2 Peter 2 categorically shows that the Aggelos were killed at the time of the Flood. Peter uses in parallel the two examples of the Flood, and Sodom and Gomorrah. 2 Peter 2:4 -5 describe the wicked at the time of the Flood, and the one righteous man to be saved. Likewise 2 Peter 6-7 describes the wicked in Sodom and Gomorrah and the one righteous man to be saved. In doing so, Peter is showing that, "The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished" This is a form of the Jewish literary device known as parallelism. But to be parallel, you have to have a balance, which is removed if you arbitrarily remove Noah from the Aggelos equation. The example of the Aggelos would not fit into this parallel if there were no "godly" men to be delivered out of their temptations. But the godly man used in comparison to the Aggelos is Noah. Thus the Aggelos were indeed killed in the Flood. Unjust reserved unto judgement: Aggelos and Old World. Godly: Noah. Unjust reserved unto judgment: Sodom and Gomorrah. Godly: Lot. For more information, please go back and read my post on Tartarus, which you seem to have missed. Yrs, Dr. B. |

NO - then Sodom and Gomorrah happened at the same time as the Flood according to you. I am DONE on this. | ||||||

Dear Searcher, That's a weird answer. I never said that. But thanks for your thoughts. Shalom, Dr. B. |
