I place a curse on every man and every woman that will stretch his hand against this anointing. I curse that man who dares to speak a word against this ministry.

Preterism: Dead to the Law

H. J. Schoeps observed, “The non-eschatological Paul is simply unintelligible.” Yet, he felt that the eschatological Paul had a mistaken eschatology—which means that (according to Schoeps) we can understand Paul only to be wrong. He further wrote, “We should misunderstand the apostle’s letters as a whole, and the governing consciousness from which the sprang, if we fail to recognize that Paul only lives, writes and preaches, in the unshakable conviction that his generation represents the last generation of mankind.”
Notice, he says the “last generation of mankind.” Contrary to Schoeps, Paul did not believe that his was the final generation of humanity. Paul understood that he was living in the waning days of the Old Covenant, anxiously waiting for and working towards the full arrival of the New Covenant. Therefore, his historical setting made him a man of “two covenants.” Paul believed that his was the final generation under the bondage of the Law, and he anticipated the consummation of “the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,” which he linked to God’s raising of the dead.

(User Info | Send a Message) | The theology which Max King so eloquently writes is being confirmed more and more by "Evangelical" theology. The "contrast of the covenants" is the heart beat of understandng Pauline eschatology. Jesus brought about "the hope of Israel" the "resurrection of the dead" from her estrangement to God, and in that, was able to bring "all the nations" fulfilling and transcending the mundane, bringing us to very holy of holies itself in Christ and through Christ Jesus. Praise God forever, for his mercies are everlasting and his grace is ever bestowed on those who follow him, world without end, amen.
