ABRAHAM WAS GLAD

[Doug]

[John 8:51 KJV] "Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death." ******** this is the core issue of this verse ********** [John 8:52 KJV] "Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death." ********** the Jews were saying that Abraham was dead so Christ had a devil in saying that they would never see death. ************ [[Hebrews 11:10 KJV] "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God." *********** Abraham was looking for that city of God in the earthly Davidic millennial kingdom.*********** {John 8:56 KJV] "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad." ********* Jesus was saying Abraham was alive and was glad to see Jesus's coming to establish his kingdom. Abraham was not dead, but alive indeed. ********** [Luke 13:28 KJV] "There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] thrust out." ********* Abraham was alive to see Christ's coming to establish the promised kingdom, which Abraham would inherit.
