1. Realized Eschatology
Implications of teachings

2. The Allegory of Galatians 4:21-31
Two women are TWO COVENANTS (V. 24)
Mt. Sinai – bearing children unto bondage (Hagar - handmaid)
Jerusalem above – free – children of promise (Sarah – freewoman)
“Isaac’s adoption into a position of full inheritance” didn’t take place until Ishmael was cast out????

3. The Allegory of Galatians 4:21-31
Period of overlapping??? – Ishmael never heir of promise
Not an encouragement to hold on till inheritance is yours, but stop trying to live by Old Testament Law (Gal. 4:21)
Christians were already in position of sole heirs – not needing to hold on till Judaism cast out in A.D. 70 (Gal. 3:26-29, 4:4-7, 5:1, Col. 1:13)

4. Implications of overlapping covenants
Spiritual Adultery (Rom. 7:1-3)
Adulteress if joined to another while husband liveth
Death has occurred – freeing one to be joined to Christ who was raised from the dead
Jesus’ death brought end of law, not A. D. 70 (Colossians 2:14)

5. Bodily resurrection context of I Corinthians 15
Jesus as “firstfruits” promise of resurrection – He was raised bodily, not figurative (v.23)
With what manner of “body” do they come when raised (v. 35, 38)
Sown natural body – raised spiritual body (v )
That which is dead is raised – was the church dead in its beginning? (v.16)

6. Paul identifies with Pharisees regarding resurrection… (Acts 23:6-8, 24:15)
Did Pharisees believe that in destruction of Jerusalem the Old Testament saints will have their spirits revived and join spiritual Israel?
Paul believed all raised unto judgment – just and unjust (cf.Jn. 5:28-29)

7. Some implications of Realized Eschatological doctrine…
What about the destruction of Jerusalem frightened the Roman procurator Pilate (Acts 24:25)?
Why is marriage still occurring (Lk. 20:35)?
Why are people still dying (Lk. 20:35)?
Why are you still partaking of the Lord’s Supper ( I Cor. 11:26)
Love not the “Jewish Age” (I Jn.2:15-17)

8. Some implications of Realized Eschatological doctrine…
Present day Hymenaeus and Philetus – resurrection is past already (2 Tim. 2:17-18)
Was Paul an Old Testament Saint- he saw himself as possibly among the dead (I Thess. 5:10)?
