"TIME NO LONGER" (Revelation 10:6)

[Scott Downey]

I suppose it could also be said God works to bring about His works! Which were known to Him from eternity past. And that He rests in all His works, the works won't be changed. His works He will exercise, as they are according to his purposes and will.

We could roughly compare this to us having extremely detailed plans of all we would do in a project, and then we bring the project about and fulfill all that we had planned without any failure, we bring it to completion.

Therefore Christ is the author and finisher of our faith in every possible way.

Psalm 139 describes much of this

1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.

3 You [a]comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.
5 You have [b]hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.
7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in [c]hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall [d]fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12 Indeed, the darkness [e]shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

13 For You formed my inward parts;
You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15 My [h]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you [i]bloodthirsty men.
20 For they speak against You wickedly;
[j]Your enemies take Your name in vain.

21 Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22 I hate them with [k]perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

 

[ScottA]

In actuality, all God's works were finished from the foundation of the world.
As for 6 days God worked, and then rested on the 7th day.

And Hebrews 4 says
" the works were finished from the foundation of the world "

Since all the works were finished from the beginning of all things, they are then being brought forth in time by the word of God.
Awesome when you think of this, that God worked everything He would do in just a few days, then He reveals His works in His own times appointed.

Hebrews 4 says God rested, God ceased from His works, so then the works are like written in stone..God will not change His mind, what He planned long ago, that will He do.

10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

Acts 15:18
KJV
Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
NKJV
“Known to God from eternity are all His works.
AMPC
Says the Lord, Who has been making these things known from the beginning of the world.
DRA
To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world.


God gave this to man as an example for how man should work and then rest.

Here it has been spoken of in scripture

Hebrews 4
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, [a]not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. 3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’ ”

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”

6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if [b]Joshua (Jesus) had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

The Word Discovers Our Condition​

11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

Yes, and I will tell you, and have told you, the revelation goes even deeper than most can fathom or will dare to go. In the end, when time is actually "no longer", which these words even now only pointed to, men will not say "I remember the time of this or that", but rather "I remember the revelation of it." For these days are the revelation from God of all that was even before the foundation of the world and only now revealed. Such is the nature of all that God has created by his work.

For so many reasons, God's will and purposes cannot be thwarted

Romans 9:19
18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Such points deep into the truth of our calling from the Father to belong to Christ, that He gave this to us before time began, which is why He saved us.

2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of [a]Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

2 To Timothy, a beloved son:

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Timothy’s Faith and Heritage​

3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the [b]genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Not Ashamed of the Gospel​

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher [c]of the Gentiles.

12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That Day is the Day of the Lord (Jesus). When He returns to judge the world in righteousness, and His reward is with Him to give to each man according to what he has done.
v12 points out the coming judgment and notice when this happens, it happens on the Last Day when Christ returns as He says He is coming quickly.
This agrees with 1 Cor 15 on the resurrection that after the final judgment is then the end, the eternal state.

23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming. 24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. 27 For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted. 28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

Revelation 22, the last chapter

The River of Life​

1 And he showed me a [a]pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

The Time Is Near​

6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the [b]holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 Now I, John, [c]saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. [d]For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him [e]be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Jesus Testifies to the Churches​

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

14 Blessed are those who [g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [h]But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

A Warning​

18 [i]For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, [j]God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God[k] shall take away his part from the [l]Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

I Am Coming Quickly​

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be [m]with you all. Amen.

 

[ScottA]

The Spirit of God communicates clearly, unlike you. Your posts are full of indecipherable gibberish. You're never clear and specific about anything. I have no idea what you are trying to say about Revelation 10:6. I have no idea what your understanding is of the seventh trumpet. It's clear to me that it will sound when Jesus returns in the future, but I can't even guess as to what you believe about it because you don't speak clearly at all.

In plain language:

Time is the "delay" created by God, that by grace all things only come as they are revealed "here a little there a little" to every generation "the evening and the morning" as if to every man, "but each one in his own order."

As for the seventh trumpet, it sounds the seventh day of God, that day in which He took His rest.

It is important to distinguish and understand that in that little phrase "but each one in his own order"--that order is the order of every man in his own time, for this is the creation and we the evidence thereof, for it is the only order given to every man--and is not to be put off to the future beyond a man's own time allotted, as many have done because they didn’t see what Christ said would "not come by observation."

These things, are they not all written? Still, even now many do not believe all of what we were told.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Surely you should know better than to say "The Spirit of God communicates clearly." He speaks in parables, and metaphoric language of sheep for people, and darkness for evil, by image and visions, of things that He himself has confused, that must be spiritually discerned. Should you not therefore actually expect the same from One who never changes? Why do you now still reject His ways?

Much of scripture, which is all inspired by the Holy Spirit, is clear and straightforward. What reason do you have to try to be mysterious? None. Just speak plainly. There's no reason not to. You're not the Holy Spirit. You have no reason to speak in parables. If you want people to understand you, then speak clearly so no one has to guess as to what you're intending to say.

Wrong. Paul made it clear that the order of bodily resurrections was Christ's first and next in order are those who are Christ's at His second coming. All of the dead in Christ will be bodily resurrected at the same time when Jesus comes in the future. Not "every man in his own time". That's not at all what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:22-23.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

In plain language:

Time is the "delay" created by God, that by grace all things only come as they are revealed "here a little there a little" to every generation "the evening and the morning" as if to every man, "but each one in his own order."

As for the seventh trumpet, it sounds the seventh day of God, that day in which He took His rest.

That's not plain language at all. It's gibberish. What do you mean that the seventh trumpet "sounds the seventh day of God"? Where is that ever mentioned in scripture? Once the seventh trumpet sounds when Jesus returns then it will be time for those who destroy the earth to be destroyed and for the dead to be judged and God's people to be rewarded (Revelation 11:15-18). The seventh trumpet signals the end of this age when the kingdom(s) of the world become the kingdom(s) of God the Father and the Son and will signal the return of Christ when He has His own gathered to Himself and takes vengeance on His enemies and then judges all people. The seventh trumpet will signal the end of this world as we know it and the end of time and the ushering in of eternity.

 

[ScottA]

You're not the Holy Spirit. You have no reason to speak in parables. If you want people to understand you, then speak clearly so no one has to guess as to what you're intending to say.

You're not being honest, but are turning a blind eye to an equal amount of scripture.

I never said I was the Holy Spirit. However, Jesus foretold and appointed that the Holy Spirit would speak through men.

As for how I speak, why do expect that the Holy Spirit would now speak clearly through me to you, when you have denied the possibility that is not me speaking, but Him speaking? Have you not read, that the measure you use, will be measured back to you?

You yourself are the limiting factor.

 

[ScottA]

Wrong. Paul made it clear that the order of bodily resurrections was Christ's first and next in order are those who are Christ's at His second coming. All of the dead in Christ will be bodily resurrected at the same time when Jesus comes in the future. Not "every man in his own time". That's not at all what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:22-23.

With many translation efforts you are even contradicting Paul. He said both, but did not contradict himself.

But you have believed what is false regarding "bodily resurrection." Are you waiting, as so many are, for flesh and blood to inherit the kingdom of God, which Paul clearly said was impossible?

What you have said, does not reconcile all scripture.

 

[ScottA]

That's not plain language at all. It's gibberish. What do you mean that the seventh trumpet "sounds the seventh day of God"? Where is that ever mentioned in scripture?

The seventh trumpet will signal the end of this world as we know it and the end of time and the ushering in of eternity.

Do you not understand: "Time is the '"delay?'" ("delay" being the alternate word used in translating Revelation 10:6)

 

[shepherdsword]

I have been leading up to and speaking of this here for some time now (Just ask @amadeus how long ).

There is a reason, and I have not kept it a secret. But "time no longer" (Revelation 10:6) is a sign, a sign stated there in the Book of Revelation of "the seventh angel, when he is about to sound."

Many would recognize Revelation 10:6-7 and the sounding of the seventh angel as the last trump to be sounded before the end of this old world, after the "finish of the mystery of God which He declared to His servants the prophets." Still, there has been, and is, very little expectation for there to be a sign of such a major event. What would such a sign look like? ...It would look like acts of "finishing", and mysteries revealed that were not to be unsealed until the fulness of time--things we never heard of before--things that not even the scriptures would reveal until the times were fulfilled.

But the key [and sign] within the passage, is "time no longer"...which sounds like the end--but that is not the order or the way in which it was told and written. In fact "time no longer" comes before the sounding of the seventh angel, only "when he is about to sound." That is how it is written. Please do read and study it!

If "time no longer" is therefore--not the end, but in fact comes before the end, what then could the passage be referring to? I am going to tell you:

The “time no longer” key, or turning the key, means removing time from the passages we have assumed occur(ed) on a timeline. This is the cipher that finishes the confused and often misunderstood mystery of God! Except for the use of numbers and repetitions eluding to the truth, the real messages of scripture were never the timeline. The timeline was only history itself, and otherwise only applies to each of our different lives and times that history is made up of. As for the things of God, there is no such timeline. This is the fulfillment of "rightly dividing the word of truth" that the passage spoken by Paul only pointed to.​

The timeline of history has served its purpose, and it is now time to press on.​

An example of applying the key of "time no longer" to scripture, would be to consider the passage that says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). That is how we are naturally inclined to look at someone “Who was, and is, and is to come” in our time-based way of thinking (Revelation 4:8). Which, for a time, was the correct use of language. However, ultimately, in the proper context of God and not the context of this world…as we have even already heard it from God himself, the more accurate words used to define God, are simply: “I am.” Which has no reference to time whatsoever (Exodus 3:14 – Revelation 22:13). And there it was all this time!​

If you should choose not to reject it—if you can receive it, this is the key and the method by which the mystery of God is finished.​

"Time no longer" simply means there will be no more delay of the fullness of God's judgements, the second coming of Christ and the fulfillment of the complete prophetic utterance. The 7th Trumpet of Rev 11 is also the last trump of 1Cor 15 and the Trump of God in 1Thess 4. This trump will herald the conquering of the earth by the Lord and the judging of His people. It doesn't mean the end of time as we know it.

The end of times is indeed coming, for the times will be fulfilled.

But yes, "time (or delay) no longer", is not the end of time ticking--but is rather the end of time being the restraint and rule over the truth from God...as that is not the measure of the things of God, but only the measure of the things of this world. It is in this way that the word of truth must be rightly divided--as the light is divided from the darkness. This is the order of days.

Then comes the end.

 

[Ronald D Milam]

There is a reason, and I have not kept it a secret. But "time no longer" (Revelation 10:6) is a sign, a sign stated there in the Book of Revelation of "the seventh angel, when he is about to sound."

Their writing style was not like ours, they would write the stories ending and the retell what it meant, just like Gen. 1 and 2 are almost the same, ones about the overall creation, then we get the creation of mankind in more detail in chapter 2.

The gist of rev. 10 can only be understood when we know its a Parenthetical Citation chapter.

Rev. 1 was Jesus as shown in all his [ Eternal ] Glory. The things THAT WERE

Rev. 2 & 3 is the current Church Age. The things WHICH ARE.

Rev. 4, 5, 6 and even 7 are in perfect order, but they are the first half of the 70th week, we see the Pre Trib. Raptured Church in Heaven in Rev. 4, 5 and 6 and even in 7 in verses 9-16. These are THE HEREAFTER. Or things that happen after the Church Age and during the 70th week events (Rev. 4:1)

The Wrath of God starts in Rev. 8 and lasts 42 months

Rev. 8, 9 and 16 is God's Wrath of 1260 days, every other chapter past Rev. 8 besides these three are Parenthetical chapters. (Rev. 15 goes with Rev. 16 in reality)


These other chapters all happen during the 42 months of Rev. 8, 9 and 16.

Rev. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18 and 19.

So, what is Rev. 10 saying? That there are only 7 Trumps of Wrath (7 = Divine Completion). There is no 21 Judgments, the Seals are God unloosing His Wrath and Jesus is merely FORETELLING what the wrath will bring when it starts with the Rev. 8 Asteroid Impact. Rev. 7 is the Jews Fleeing Judea, not 144,000 that is merely a code for ALL Israel who repents.

Rev. 10 is an OVERVIEW of God's Coming Wrath.

When the 7 Thunders are Sounded, time [AS WE HAVE KNWN IT UNDER Satan's rule] will be NO MORE. Babylon falls when Satan is cast to earth. The word Babel means Confusion, Babylon is Satan's Dark Rule of deception over mankind, we are so confused we try to fight our own loving Creator !! In Rev. 16:19 God calls those Nations Jesus defeats at the 7th Vial Babylon the Great, go read it. An in the 6th Vial who were they? The "Kings of the WHOLE WORLD".

The overview skips all of these details and says when theb7th Thunder has Sounded time [as the world has known it] will be no more. Jesus will rule for his 1000 year reign. Why was John told not to write what he heard? He heard in "plain English" (Greek) as we would say today, not in codes and Metaphors soi he would understand it in full, somewhat. Then he was told by Jesus/Angels what to write, in CODES and METAPHORS and SYMBOLOGY. When John eats the little book and its sweet in his mouth but bitter in his stomach, that actually matches the 30 Minutes of Silence in heaven in a way.

John knew Judgment to mankind must come our we could never move on to the Eternal Life Phase in heaven. But John also saw Billions of human beings being killed in these same judgments, this it was Sweet in his mouth, but bitter in his stomach. Likewise, there is 30 minutes of silence because the Angels of Heaven take NO JOY in this task. Like God when He flooded the earth he was saddened, it says it Repenteth God that He had to flood the earth. The silence is only done to show a solemn reference to the humans who are about to die, the angels are relaying they take no joy in this Judgment.

Basically, the 7 Thunders are God's Full Wrath (7 Trumps) the 7 Vials come forth only when the 7th Trump is blown. The 7 Vials are the 3rd Woe. Woe #1 = the 5th Trump, Woe #2 = the 6th Trump and Woe #3 is indeed the 7 Vials. Rev. 8:13 tells is the Last Three Trumps are the THREE WOES yet to come.

Their writing style was not like ours, they would write the stories ending and the retell what it meant, just like Gen. 1 and 2 are almost the same, ones about the overall creation, then we get the creation of mankind in more detail in chapter 2.

The gist of rev. 10 can only be understood when we know its a Parenthetical Citation chapter.

You make a lot of good points, but unfortunately the timing is off...which is the whole issue of "time (or delay) no longer."

In other words, you are still interpreting based on a timeline of events--which is not "all truth", but rather just another interpretation with similar errors as has been the case while all was under restraint. The measure or rule of time, has been that ages old restraint.

"All truth", unlike all previous interpretations made while under the restraint of times, demands all matters of God as occurring "before the foundation of the world." While all matters of this world are a mere historic timeline of the events revealing by natural means, those things which are not of this world, nor natural, but spirit in nature, as God is spirit. Meaning, all the Godly events that have seemingly occurred in history, when the story-form (history) is not the measure used to interpret, those events of God simply "are"--just as "I am" has no reference to time--and yet these things have only come to be known by the world, and us in our natural state, as they are revealed to us. Making history not a form of interpretation, but a form of revelation--in the end, making all history or time-based interpretations void.

It is in this way of "time no longer" that "all truth" and the "finish of the mystery of God as He declared to His servants the prophets" is revealed before "the seventh angel, when he is about to sound."​

And few will be able to separate (rightly divide) in their mind, the common and natural thinking, to think of truth on God's own timeless way. Because many prefer the ways of this world. Unfortunately.

With many translation efforts you are even contradicting Paul. He said both, but did not contradict himself.

But you have believed what is false regarding "bodily resurrection." Are you waiting, as some many are, for flesh and blood to inherit the kingdom of God, which Paul clearly said was impossible?

What you have said, does not reconcile all scripture.

You never seem to have any idea of what you're talking about. No, I do not say that mortal flesh and blood will inherit the kingdom of God. Paul made it clear that our bodies will be changed to be immortal when the last trumpet sounds (1 Cor 15:50-54), so we will inherit the kingdom of God with immortal bodies, not mortal flesh and blood. It is Premillennialists who believe that some people will inherit the kingdom of God when Jesus returns with mortal bodies, but I'm an Amillennialist.

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Do you not understand: "Time is the '"delay?'" ("delay" being the alternate word used in translating Revelation 10:6)

Why can't you just answer my question instead of asking your own question? Answer mine first. I asked: What do you mean that the seventh trumpet "sounds the seventh day of God"?

 

[ScottA]

All,

As it has been pointed out--"time (or delay) no longer" is not the end of time--for the passage goes on to say the sounding of the seventh angel is after that, and "time no longer" comes "when (before) he is about to sound."

So, yes, "time no longer" refers to something else. But it is not just, "hey, we're going to move on now without delay." No--the passage refers rather to the second-to-the-last thing that happens before the end of the world!

I have told you what it actually means--for it was given to me--which if you are of understanding, you should know what I am describing. There is only two biblical possibilities. But you don't have to take it from me--the passage ties it to the mystery of God (as He declared to His servants the prophets) being finished. That is what this is about. Then, yes, I have told you "how" it comes about...which is true whether people believe it or not--just as it is with everything that comes from God--whether by angels, or a king, or Messiah, or even a donkey.

But let's be clear--if your beliefs include anything that was believed and taught during the entire church age, until now--all such beliefs were founded upon the foretold words of "false teachers" and a major "lie" causing "strong delusion." If you do not believe this is true--you are not believing all that is written and foretold--and only kidding yourself (under delusion).

Time to wake up!

Your use of "bodily resurrection" was without clear distinction, as Paul gave, saying "what you sow is not the body that will be."
