Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Hi BK, John 8:56, IMO, is about Abrham rejoicing at the birth of his son, in whom "all nations would be blessed." Eventually, as you know, Jesus would come from Isaac, thus, he was rejoicing in Jesus through Isaac. I will give you the common interpretation of God revealing his plan to Abraham in visions- that is a possibility, but very unlikely. A third interpretation, if you don't agree with mine, is that Abraham upon death gained the heavenly perspective of God's plan, and from paradise saw everything and rejoiced. Heb.11:13 is in reference to receiving God's Promised Land. Read the next 3 verses that follow. Again, you are reading Jesus Christ into the OT. chesed |
