Bible Question:
John 6: 44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the "last day." Thoughts about John 6:44 "Last day" is singular in all translations of scripture I have. It seems to refer to Jesus resurrecting people. There are many days after the resurrection, so it seems not to mean the last day with never another day to come after it. I assume this speaks of the 1st resurrection, since He is resurrecting people the Father has drawn to Him (Jesus) Question: What is it about this day of resurrection that it is called the last day ? This is the last day of WHAT ??? What ceases in this day that will never occur again ? |
Bible Answer: Hello, Emmy! Although John's emphasis in this verse is the "drawing" and not the last day, you still have a good question. Just for the sake of a different perspective, I believe Jesus is talking about the last, final day of everything old, (and the fist day of everything new)- the day of resurection and judgement of all people at the same time. ischus |
