ages to come

[marie glen]

I read this from "Meyer's Bible Commentary" on biblehub.com under "commentaries" of Mt 3:2 ..."the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (repentance as entrance..)

The 3 listed in the commentary, to me, are about ages to follow this age (written of in Revelation chapters 19-22).

The commentary said -
....The Old Testament/Hebrew thought was (#1)"the Messiah raises up the descendants of Abraham" (Trumpets) "then comes the kingdom which lasts a thousand years, then (#2)the resurrection and the condemnatory judgment of the heathen" (er! BUT will be the Day Of Atonement! (um, proof of u.r. the ancient fall holy days fulfilled by his long 2nd advent) (#3)"the descent of the heavenly Jerusalem, and the everlasting life of the descendants of Abraham on the earth, which has been transformed along with the whole universe)." Tabernacles! "God will now tabernacle, live, abide with, man.."

"1000 years later" - Rev 20:5a - 'day' of judgment/*atonement "the Day of Atonement..shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.. any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people." from Lev 23:27-29*

and still later *tabernacles* - God becomes all in all, dwells with mankind on earth/universe made new..
-------------------------

the holy days are listed in Lev 23 (Numbers 28,29) - just like his first advent - He fulfilled *passover*, being the *passover* lamb.. and is the *unleavened bread* of life - and is the *firstfruits* -- "Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the *firstfruits* of those who have fallen asleep" - 1 Corinthians 15:20
