One Death and then Judgement:
Death for Christians is a resting period (Daniel 12:2 – “Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”)
Enoch and Elijah both has not experience death, so the two witnesses mentioned could be them (Revelation 11:3 – And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”)
Genesis 1:23 “Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
- Created in his image (+Likeness)
- Glimpse of his traits
- Power to reason (Freewill)
Genesis 2:7 “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.“
Worldly blessing = not into eternal life
Matthew 6:10 – Seek the kingdom of God and rest all is given to you.
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
Genesis 15 – Abraham’s lack of Faith
- questioning his heirs of his assets
- Telling Sarah not to say she is his wife
Acts 5:44 Suffering which result into bless
“The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.“
