Greetings again, Praisemaster. You write: "John 3:37 All that it means it's the last day of the feast at that time." My reply: Precisely. And that's exactly how to apply the meaning of "eschatos" in 1 Cor. 15:52--all that it means is that it's the last trumpet call for the believers at that time. You write: "Cor1: 15:8 he was the last apostle...." My reply: the context of 1 Cor. 15:8 begins in verse 5: "and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also." [1 Cor. 15:5-8 NASB] I believe the reference here is to all those who had seen Jesus alive after his resurrection, not just the apostles. I'm not trying to convert you to my point of view. I just want to accurately and fairly represent the Word of God. Any offense is unintended and regretted. Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |

10ECPreacher, I'm confused, there is no John3:37, but regarding what Praisemaster said, I've look up Last in the Greek, and it says for all verses in the NT, it is the same translation for them all. Which means "Further most out". I'm sorry, but there's no getting around this. Look it up. Love in the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||

Serenetime, Sorry for the miscue. I copied a line from the post by Praisemaster and didn't notice the typo. John 3:37 should have read John 7:37. I have studied this subject now for over 20 years, so I have looked this up a few times. :) But, just for the fun of it I have looked it up again. I am including part of the definition of Trump (as in Last Trump) here for your consideration. Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words Topic: Trump, Trumpet A-1,Noun,4536,salpinx is used (1) of the natural instrument, 1 Cor. 14:8; (2) of the supernatural accompaniment of Divine interpositions, (a) at Sinai, Heb. 12:19; (b) of the acts of angels at the Second Advent of Christ, Matt. 24:31; (c) of their acts in the period of Divine judgments preceding this, Rev. 8:2,6,13; 9:14; (d) of a summons to John to the presence of God, Rev. 1:10; 4:1; (e) of the act of the Lord in raising from the dead the saints who have fallen asleep and changing the bodies of those who are living, at the Rapture of all to meet Him in the air, 1 Cor. 15:52, where "the last trump" is a military allusion, familiar to Greek readers, and has no connection with the series in Rev. 8:6 to 11:15; there is a possible allusion to Num. 10:2-6, with reference to the same event, 1 Thess. 4:16, "the (lit., a) trump of God" (the absence of the article suggests the meaning "a trumpet such as is used in God's service"). I'm glad I looked it up again. :) Kind regards, Tim D. Cormier Tennessee Preacher |
