Bible Note: Dear Jeff, Spend a bit more time studying (there was only 78 minutes between our posts), looking at the text itself and then -- but only then -- finding out what the church has taught through the ages, by checking good commentators. I apologize, but I don't have time to do all the work for you. Not that I'm not willing, its just that I'm packing to head out of town... to New Jersey. (I have to read three separate books during the trip. I also have a six hour set of lectures to listen to while driving. These things will make NJ a tiny bit more tolerable! I only wish I could read while I drive!) You can also research the question about the "last days." Look at every reference to the phrase in Scripture. It is a common Jewish idiom and, demonstrably, refers to the days subsequent to the life of Christ. I'm glad to spur you on to a more thorough study of Scripture. Thank you for spurring me on in the same way! I'll be praying for the illuminating power of the Holy Spirit in our efforts. In Him, Doc |
