AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:28 However, when all things are subjected to Him (Christ), then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One (the Father) who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [manifesting His glory without any opposition, the supreme indwelling and controlling factor of life]. |
Subject: Don't understand Revelation and 1 Cor 15 |
Bible Note: I am unable to find in my Bible where 1 Corinthians 15.25 is 'a specific reference to the millennial rule'. There is nothing specific about it at all. It is an interpretation and many would disagree with that statement. It is reading into Scripture what is not there and then calling it specific. Revelation 11.15 specifically refers to the coming eternal reign of Christ. There is no mention of anything else (neither any millennial reign or His present reign as both LORD and Christ - Act 2.34-36). I have found nothing in Scripture about the Temple being rebuilt. In Revelation the Temple is in Heaven both before and after chapter 11. 2 Thessalonians 2.4 probably refers to a pagan Temple in the Roman empire where Caligula did set himself up to be worshipped as theos (it is the Temple of theos, a word which refers to any divinity). Revelation 11 cannot be literally interpreted. It is impossible to conceive of a Temple where the Gentiles control in hostility (trample) the courts of the Temple with the sanctuary alone being occupied by God's people, espcially as it exists for three and a half years. The Gentiles would take over the whole Temple. The Temple must therefore be the Temple of the Holy Spirit, the body of Christ. There was no command to build the Temple in Ezekiel. It was not intended to be built. It was on a mountain some distance from Jerusalem.(Jerusalem was defiled) as an encouragement to God's people.. What was to be built was the altar (Ezekiel 43.18). The Temple was a heavenly Temple situated on a mountain some distance from Jerusalem (which like the angelic armies of Elisha were visible only to those gifted with spiritual sight) which demonstrated that God was still with His people even though there was no physical Temple. That altar was built by Zerubbabel and Joshua (Ezra 3.2). I know of no Scripture which says that the Messiah will build a Temple. Perhaps you can enlighten me. We must be careful not to stretch Scripture so as to fit it into our own theories. We must look at what is ACTUALLY said. |
