The word "first" modifies the infinitive verb phrase "to proclaim light unto the people and to the Gentiles". The word "first" does NOT modify the infinitive verb phrase "to rise from the dead". Some translations recognize this. Some don't.

You are attempting to deny that the Rev. 11:8 verse was speaking about Jerusalem when it mentions "the great city...where also our Lord was crucified". Jerusalem was where Christ suffered and then died. Personally, I believe His cross was positioned on the crest of the Mount of Olives, facing...

When Revelation's interpreting angel gives us the explanation of what the symbol of the woman represents, we are to go with that definition. Mystery Babylon was defined for us in Rev. 17:18. "And the woman which thou sawest IS that great city which ruleth over the kings of the earth." This...

Sure He was. Read Luke 9:31, describing the Mount of Transfiguration with Moses and Elijah speaking with Him about His approaching death. "Who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he was about to fulfill in Jerusalem."

AD 69-70 with Simon bar Gioras' army forcing his way into Jerusalem and establishing himself as the main leader over the other competing Zealot factions. Gog's battle started as a CIVIL war in Jerusalem, because Ezekiel 38:21 describes this battle as "every man's sword shall be against his...

Not odd at all. Solomon's temple foundation stone was laid down in 968 / 967 BC (depending on your source). This comprised a literal thousand years of a physical temple worship system sanctioned by God UNTIL Christ's resurrection-day ascension in AD 33 established Him as the true foundation...

When that "change" was to be brought about, Paul wrote that the saying would come to pass that "DEATH is swallowed up in victory. The GRAVE would have no victory over those who were sleeping and who would come out of that grave. There is nothing at all in this 1 Cor. 15 context which describes...

That "change" in 1 Cor. 15:50-54 was for the DEAD believers in that text - not the living. This was taught all the way back in Job 14:14-15. Job spoke about God hiding a man in the grave, then setting a time, and remembering him. "If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my...

Here, let me quote you a hyper-literal, rigid statement of Scripture. "For as in Adam ALL DIE, even so in Christ all shall be made alive." (1 Cor. 15:22). NOBODY gets off this planet without passing through the physical death process, if you are one of Adam's descendants. For all of those who...

That Matt. 25 judgment with Christ sitting on His glorious throne is a Great White Throne Judgment. In heaven. Not earth. The literal thousand-years millennium is quite another subject. It is ancient history, and came to an end with the "first resurrection" in AD 33. John already proved...

You have reading comprehension problems then. The context of 1 Cor. 15:20-24 is describing the ranked "order" of the bodily resurrections. Paul lists three occasions for this.

I am not "changing" the text. I am QUOTING different translations. You favor one, which creates a Scripture contradiction. I prefer to use the translations that reconcile the seeming contradictions so that Scripture does not fight against itself. You want to simply ditch the one-time-only...

Keep going. You missed printing out the third resurrection event on the list that Paul gave in 1 Cor. 15:24. ALL that were in Christ certainly would be made alive by resurrection, but not simultaneously. They would be raised in ranked chronological order by participating in one of three...

If you think that none of those OT and NT examples of resurrections were to a glorified state because you think Christ had to be the first to have achieved this, you have created a Scripture contradiction for yourself. That would mean that all those bodily-resurrected individuals in the OT and...

You have no understanding about what a "resurrection to destruction" looks like, do you? The body and soul of the wicked both perish. God destroys them both for the wicked dead.

Nonsense. Once the spirit departs, a dead body which is raised to life again is only due to the Holy Spirit's power. You might as well say that you can kill the Holy Spirit itself. "It is appointed unto men ONCE TO DIE, and after that the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). There is no such thing a...

So circumcision is still a requirement, since it was supposed to be a forever ritual? And the Levitical high priesthood is still in existence because that was called a forever thing also? There are changes in the law, Hebrews says. What once used to be true in John 3:13 about no man having...

The sequence does not say that merely the living would be caught up together with the resurrected ones. It says "we who are alive and REMAIN shall be caught up together with them...". Paul saying "we" was speaking as a representative of the church at large; he was not saying that he would be...

Why should I be ashamed of consulting various translations that do a better job of staying true to the original languages? Especially when it helps to reconcile all the Scriptures which seem to be in conflict. Why don't you accuse Biblehub of "twisting" the scriptures by giving all the various...

You should be well aware of the widow of Zarephath's son raised to life again in 1 Kings 17:22, and the Shunammite's son raised to life again in 2 Kings 4. "Women received their dead raised to life again..." Hebrews 11:35 reminds us. There is also the dead man who came to life again by his...
