You concluded that which I underlined. The trouble is, David did not say this. Peter did. It was a man living a thousand years after David who said that David's body was still there in Jerusalem, and that David was still in Hades, and that David had no ascended yet.

YES, I AGREE with WHO SAID IT and I AGREE with THE TRUTH of what is written. 


I just don't agree that PETER SAID  

1.   DAVID WAS STILL IN HADES, nor
2.  THAT DAVID HAD NOT ASCENDED YET

WHAT I believe is it is written that

1. David died and was buried AND HIS TOMB WAS STILL IN JERUSALEM, and
2. Before David DIED and ASCENDED,   He had said/spoke prophecy 




Men, Israelites, hear the words these:  Jesus of Nazareth a man having been set forth by God to you by miracles and wonders and signs which did by Him God in the midst of you as you yourselves know
 

Him by the determinate plan and foreknowledge of God delivered up by hands lawless having been crucified You put to death

whom God raised up, having loosed the agony of death inasmuch as not it was possible to be held Him by it

David for says about Him I foresaw the Lord before me continually everything because at [the] right hand of me He is, that not I should be shaken

Because of this was glad of me the heart and rejoiced the tongue of me and now also the flesh of me will dwell in hope

for not You will abandon the soul of me into Hades

NOR will You allow the Holy One of You to see decay

You have made known to me paths of life You will fill me with joy in the presence of You

Men, brothers, it is permitted [me] to speak with freedom to you concerning the patriarch David

that both he died and was buried and the tomb of him is among us unto the day this.
 

A prophet therefore being and knowing that with an oath swore to him God out of [the] fruit of the loins of him to set upon the throne of him

Having foreseen, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was He abandoned into Hades nor the flesh of Him saw decay

This Jesus has raised up God whereof all we are witnesses

To the right hand therefore of God having been exalted and the promise of the Spirit Holy having received from the Father He has poured out this which you both are seeing and hearing.



Does this next part say 
DAVID IS NOT ASCENDED INTO THE HEAVENS?  
or
BEFORE DAVID DIED,  "HE SAID" THESE WORDS?
   

Not for David ascended into the heavens,  he says, however himself:
SAID the Lord to [the] Lord of me, Sit at [the] right hand of Me

until I place the enemies of You a footstool of the feet of You
 

I believe DAVID spoke those words BEFORE he died,  which came before he ASCENDED into heaven.

David did not say those words. Peter did.

Peter was not prophesying about David. He was CONTRASTING the great man David with the greatest man Jesus. The DIFFERENCE between David and Jesus is, according to the inspired record:-
- David is dead and his tomb is in Jerusalem - Jesus is alive and a tomb in Jerusalem is EMPTY. He has no tomb

- David is still in HADES - Jesus has exited Hades

- In DEATH, David's BODY is in Jerusalem and David's SOUL is in Hades

- Jesus, having set aside death is in HEAVEN, BODILY

- David, still bound by death, is NOT ASCENDED

- Jesus, having been DISPLAYED to hundreds of witnesses, and HANDLED by His disciples, and having declared His resurrection body to be FLESH and BONES, is BODILY in Heaven.

Just take five minutes to read your posting. You spend an inordinate amount of writing time trying to get a simple passage to say something else. Why not just follow the rules of language - AND - what the rest of the Bible says.

What I did address was that Christ still had His wounds. What I did address was that Christ's Body did not see corruption. What I did address is that if we examine 1st Corinthians 15, we will find the previous body made new. But I will start with this one simple argument - one that you refuse to enter into discussion about. In Romans 6:5 and Philippians 3:21 is says severally;

5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

It is evident from the plain language that our resurrection is LIKE that of Christ.

You keep going back to CHRISTS FLESH BODY being resurrected LIKE WE ARE THE SAME AS HIM.  WE are NOT the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.  There is no prophecy for us about our bodies not suffering corruption.  

If YOU BELIEVE we must RAISE UP IN THE FLESH TO BE IN THE LIKENESS OF HIM, then also in the likeness of what He did, we would need to be raised from the dead, ascend to God, descend back to the earth, stay for over a month and then go back to GOD again and sit at His right hand until enemies made our footstool?  


It EVEN was A given PROPHECY that HIS FLESH BODY would not be left.  Doesn't that tell you that that is different from us?   Do you remember THE DEVIL contending for the 'bones' of Moses?  Why do you think God didn't leave the body of Jesus or Moses behind?

How many times are we told our bodies will go back to dust?  Doesn't that ALONE tell you our resurrection will not be as His was?  IN LIKENESS, NOT REPLICATION.   

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

OUR VILE BODY CHANGE -  just like this natural body provides the SEED for the Spiritual body.  


μετασχηματίζω: future μετασχηματίσω (cf. Buttmann, 37 (32)); 1 aorist μετεσχημάτισα; middle present μετασχηματίζομαι; to change the figure of, to transform (see μετά, III. 2): τί, Philippians 3:21 (see below); middle followed by εἰς τινα, to transform oneself into someone, to assume one's appearance, 2 Corinthians 11:13f; followed by ὡς τίς, so as to have the appearance of someone, 2 Corinthians 11:15; μετασχηματίζω τί εἰς τινα, to shape one's discourse so as to transfer to oneself what holds true of the whole class to which one belongs, i. e. so as to illustrate by what one says of himself what holds true of all: 1 Corinthians 4:6, where the meaning is, 'by what I have said of myself and Apollos, I have shown what holds true of all Christian teachers.' (4 Macc. 9:22; Plato, legg. 10, p. 903 e.; (Aristotle, de caele 3, 1, p. 298{b}, 31, etc.); Josephus, Antiquities 7, 10, 5; 8, 11, 1; Plutarch, Ages. 14; def. orac. c. 30; (Philo, leg. ad Gaium § 11); Sextus Empiricus, 10, p. 688, Fabric. edition (p. 542, 23 edition, Bekker).) [SYNONYMS: μεταμορφόω, μετασχηματίζω: (cf. Philippians 3:21) "μετασχηματίζω would here refer to the transient condition from which, μεταμορφόω to the permanent state to which, the change takes place. Trench (N. T. Synonyms, § lxx.), however, supposes that μετασχηματίζω is here preferred to μεταμορφόω as expressing 'transition but no absolute solution of continuity', the spiritual body being developed from the natural, as the butterfly from the caterpillar" (Lightfoot on Phil. 'Detached Note,' p. 131). See μορφή, at the end]

DAVID CARCASS is rotting and decaying in a tomb  IT WAS SOWN, IT WAS RAISED

 

1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

1 Corinthians 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

Matthew 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

Matthew 27:52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

Matthew 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

FIRSTFRUITS OF THEM THAT SLEPT




 

Colossians 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Colossians 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

 

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

2 Corinthians 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

2Corinthians 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

2Corinthians 3:4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

2Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

2Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament;

but of the spirit:

It is remarkable that I can quote scripture as proof but you will not go into them. Then, you write something that I did not address, and argue it with all your might. Just for the record:
- I did not say that there was a prophecy that our bodies would not see corruption. But you have attributed it to me and then argued the point

- I did NOT admit any BELIEF. I quoted scripture. But you attack my "belief" which I never addressed

- I pointed out that scripture says that we are raised with bodies LIKE His, not that we would be seated anywhere or travel anywhere. You added this and then argued against it

I will post the verses again for all to see, and for you to comment on if you can.

Rom.6:5; For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Phil.3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

1st Jn.3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

To most of us who have high-school English, the meaning is plain. I need no comment. But you deny these, therefore it is YOU that must show why they don't mean what they say.

I'll post it again for you to read an apply the grammar.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Th 4:16–17)

By the rules of grammar, this is what will happen.
1. Jesus must first descend (v.16). This He has not yet done.
2. THEN, once he has descended a shout and trump sound
3. THEN, the DEAD in Christ will RISE (direction from below to a higher point)
4. THEN, the LIVING in Christ, shall be caught away (lit. Gk.) TOGETHER with those who have just RISEN

1Th 4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

It is true that God will bring those that died in Christ with Christ when he returns (descends) and it can't be denied and it is first in order at His return.

Paul is speaking to the perspective of the alive and remaining and the first thing is they will hear the trump and be caught up to meet those that God brought with Christ. Paul is not listing a chronolgical order of things, His main point is that they sorrow not because Christ will bring their lost loved ones with Him.

On 5/15/2022 at 11:10 AM, AdHoc said:

Here are some observations:
1. The dead in Christ will only rise from Hades to the surface of the earth when Christ comes, when an archangel shouts, and when His trumpet blows. This has not yet happened

2. Scripture speaks of those ALIVE. But then adds "and remain". This is so scripture is 100% correct. There are some who are alive but have been removed, like Elijah. The are alive BUT DO NOT REMAIN.

3. The resurrected DEAD only go the clouds AFTER they RISE. The resurrected DEAD only go to the clouds TOGETHER with the living.

4. They "MEET" the Lord in the air. If the dead had already ascended why would they have to meet the Lord?

Sad to think that God will send those that died in Christ to Hades.

On 5/15/2022 at 11:10 AM, AdHoc said:

And YES! I do believe that Jesus is a prototype. Consider Colossians 1:17-18;

17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

1. The word "FIRST-born" implies many after Him
2. The word "preeminence" declares that man will do the same but he is the first
3. Romans 6:5 says; "For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection."
4. Philippians 3:21 says; "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body"

When was Jesus Glorified?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
