for the creation was made subject to frustration-not willingly, but because of the one who subjected it. But it was given a reliable hope Rom 8:21 that it too would be set free from its bondage to decay and would enjoy the freedom accompanying the glory that God's children will have. Rom 8:22 We know that until now, the whole creation has been groaning as with the pains of childbirth;

Shalom dear Bill. Thank you for your arguments about restoration and not disappearing. That sounds very plausible and helps a lot to explain to others why the mentioned verses should be better translated according to the jewish narrative! I have a question about another passage about which I had already many talks with mainstream-christians because it seems that the passage and parallels might argue for a kingdom which has already come: Luke 9,27 (Mtt. 16,28, Mk.9,2). How would you explain these passages within an apocalyptic gospel message? Can you suggest commentaries explaining these passages within an apocalyptic jewish gospel narrative? Are there patristic writings explaining these sayings of Jesus? Thank you very much for your answer and time! 🤲😊

[@BillScofield]

Hello, Peter. Shalom to you! Pray you are well. I think those passages that you referenced are a beautiful reinforcement of the Jewish hope of the kingdom of God. In all three parallels the episode that follows is what Christians sometimes call 'the transfiguration'. This is because it is seen as Jesus taking a few disciples away and showing them his true glory, which he normally keeps hidden. What is actually happening is what Jesus says in the verses that you reference above. Matt. 16:28-35 records a visionary experience that God gave to Peter, John, and James where they saw the future Kingdom of God. Moses and Elijah, two Jewish characters who will obviously have a place in the coming Kingdom, appear in the vision to reinforce the message. Thus, some of those standing with the Messiah in v. 27 'saw the kingdom of God' before tasting death. Hope this helps. Shalom, friend.

Revelation 20 & 21

Thank you Bill... Do you have any insights on the differences between the two renewals? The first renewal or restoration at the return of Christ, through the millennial reign, and then the second renewal after the final enemy, death, is destroyed, and, ostensibly, the 7,000 years are complete, and eternity future has come.

[@BillScofield]

Hi there. Not sure that I have a big distinction. I guess I see it as more of a process than two distinct events.

[@chuckabean1]

Well there is a bit of a distinction if we see Satan's final rebellion at the end of the 1,000 years.
