By Brian L. Martin. Looking past the shadow of the Old Covenant, to find the substance of the New Covenant, and the Nature of the Second Coming. Just like the Jews that didn't recognize the first coming of the Lord, because they were behind the veil of Moses, most of the Christian world didn't recognize the second coming, because they're looking behind the veil as well. I just started the book, so I really can't give more info than that. A friend of mine in Paltalk read it, and said it was great.

It would seem to be an interesting point, given what Hebrews says about the way into the holiest of holies not yet being made manifest while the temple still had a standing. Though that truth had been made manifest to Christians who knew that Christ had gone thru that veil when it tore.
Let us know what his conclusion is and how he develops it. Because I don't see that Christians were subject to the law of Moses, or that the OT was veiled to them - since the apostles held those keys to open them with the gospel. Perhaps it was only Israel in general who did not yet believe that those scriptures were still under cover as they continued to practice the law. Certainly Paul's letter to the Galatians would have dispelled that cloud once and for all who believed the gospel!

I just ordered this book from Amazon. Should have it this week. I've used this very analogy in my own posts on preterism, that just as the Jews do not recognize the first coming of their Messiah and so continue to look for it in the future; so Christians fail to recognize his second coming, and also continue to look for it in the future.
There's nothing new under the sun, folks. What has been will be again, and it was so regarding the Messiah.

Bryan, how are you coming along in this book? I've read up to page 77 and so far I would agree with your friend's assessment. It has been great!

I'm only on page 94 Bev, but I'm reading several things at a time. I'm reading that book, a novel, the NLT for Leviticus, the NKJV for the Gospel of John, Fulfilled Magazine, and also browsing at Manners and Customs of the Bible by James M. Freeman. That does not include all the posts, notes, and blogs on the puter. LOL Did I say that I like to read?  |

I doubt that you are even a preterist with so few books on the go... |

LOL. You guys are funny. When I read Bryan's post I was tempted to start listing all the books that I'm currently reading. I've been a voracious reader since childhood, but after I became a Christian, my choice of reading material has been confined to virtually nothing except Christian, mostly theological, topics. And the Bible, of course, which I never stop reading. When I finish Revelation, I start over again in Genesis. Usually in a different translation. For anyone bored enough to take a look, I've kept a list of every book I've read since October 1976. Christian books are listed separately in the second group of links on the page. www.cloudbow.com/interior/books/ |
