Must ground our hope in heaven, not earth•Resurrection, Acts 24:15•To eternal life, Titus 1:2•One hope, not two, Eph. 4:4-6

“In other words, the Kingdom of God,the Second Coming of Christ,the Last Judgment andthe Last Resurrection (2 Tim. 4:1)found their consummationat the fall of Jerusalemin the emergence of the New Covenant”

Jesus’ resurrection proves resurrection of all,1 Cor. 15:1-22

•Jesus was raised, 1-11•Result of denying resurrection, 12-19•All raised at 2nd Coming, 20-23

Jesus’ rule to end at His 2nd Coming,1 Cor. 15:23-28

•End of time, 23, 24•End of His authority & power, 24•End of His reign, 25•End of His enemies, 25, 26•All things turned back to God, 24, 27, 28

If final resurrection took place in 70 AD,Then there are problems…

•Should be no more death, 1 Cor. 15:25•Jesus no longer reigning, 1 Cor. 15:24, 25•Why be baptized, 1 Cor. 15:29•There is no bodily resurrection now,1 Cor. 15:35-49; cf. 1 Jn. 3:2

If final resurrection took place in 70 AD,Then there are problems…

•Not all will be changed, 1 Cor. 15:50-54•No one cast bodily into hell, Mt. 10:28•No marriage now, Lk. 20:34-36•No reward now, Lk. 14:12-14

If from 30-70 AD, then what about…•No perilous times, 2 Tim. 3:1-5•None depart from the faith, 1 Tim. 4:1-5•No scoffers, 2 Pt. 3:3•God does not speak to us, Heb. 1:1, 2•May we call on the Lord, Acts 2:16-21•What “days” are we in now?

Transition period with overlapping covenants is error

•Two priesthoods, Heb. 7:11-14•Two laws: adultery, Rom. 7:1-4•Galatians irrelevant, Gal. 3:23-25•Paul a liar, Eph. 2:11-16; Col. 2:11-14

The transition period: John – Pentecost•John prepared for Kingdom, Mt. 3:1-6•Jesus prepared for Kingdom, Mt. 4:17•Kingdom established on Pentecost,Mk. 9:1; Lk. 24:46-49; Acts 2:1-4, 47

The Lord will return in judgment,2 Pt. 3:1-9

•Some deny it, 1-4•Willfully ignorant, 5-7•World judged, 9

Material universe will come to an end,2 Pt. 3:10-13

•Unknown time, 10•Heavens pass away, 10•Earth burned up, 10•Dissolved, 11, 12•New heavens & earth: new reality, 13

Some will twist the Scripture on this issue,2 Pt. 3:14-16
