62 | Revelation not a book of future prophecy | Revelation | koscheiman | 172874 | ||
If Revelation is "a book of future prophecy," then we are in a regime of prophecy still, and living in an age of prophecy. But the Lord declared in Luke 16:16 that "The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it." The phrase "until John" here does not mean until John appeared, but until John's order ended. At the house of Cornelius, in Acts 10:37, Peter used the phrase "after the baptism which John preached." Jesus said "until" John, and Peter said "after" John. Obviously after John meant until the cross; and until John meant until the cross. Jesus did not say the law was until the cross--He said the law and. And what? The law and the prophets were until the cross--which meant prophecy ended exactly when and where the law ended. The word "until" expresses the point of termination. So both law and prophecy were terminated by the cross of Christ and "since that time the kingdom of God is preached." Revelation was not a book of future prophecy but one in which the reader was already taking part. Revelation is about the destruction of Jerusalem and the victory of Christ and His people over the persecution of the Jews, Rome, and the heathen. partially taken from The Book of Revelation" by Foy E Wallace, Jr |

65 | The Law of Moses has been abrogated | Matt 5:17 | koscheiman | 172527 | ||
Many when reading Matt 5:17 believe that the law of Moses is still in force because of these verses, but what exactly do they say? Think not that the purpose I came for was to abolish or abrogate the Law or the prophets but rather He came to fulfill. Did Christ fulfill the Law? Yes He did in two ways. 1. By fulfilling all prophecy pertaining to Him 2. By living a perfect life according to the Law Because of this fulfillment or accomplisment the Law of Moses (all the Law including the 10 commandments) have been abrogated. The verse following this one states that not one jot or tittle will pass away till all be fulfilled or accomplished. |
