The resurrection was Christ's enthronement

[TrevorL]

Greetings again EarlyActs,

The only grammatical direction you can go with Acts 2:30, 31 is that David saw the resurrection when he was shown the enthronement. It is the climactic line of the speech.

I appreciate the response. Perhaps what you have stated is a bit obscure or ambiguous, but from what you have stated here I understand that you understand the "enthronement" is the promise to David about his seed sitting upon the Throne of David and that this was fulfilled when Jesus sat down at the right hand of God the Father, in God the Father's Throne. As such you choose to ignore Revelation 3:20-21 and all my Kingdom references.

This seems to differ to some extent with the title you originally allocated to this thread "The resurrection was Christ's enthronement", and which
@Josheb seems to be demanding to be the correct understanding of Acts 2.

Kind regards
Trevor

Greetings again Josheb,

Possibly your poor reading....

I happen to be an excellent reader. Thank you for your time.

re 'all my Kingdom references'
Does that phrase refer to all the times Jesus mentioned 'my (his) Kingdom' or all of your references to his kingdom in a post above?

I was referring to the many passages regarding the future Kingdom of God upon the earth. It seems quite evident that you have a different perspective but I was brought up in an environment that taught many OT passages and especially Daniel 2, Ezekiel 38 and Isaiah 2:1-4. I personally cannot understand how you can avoid the detail contained in these prophecies and many similar prophecies.

I stepped into a church one night that was studying Jn 2. I was only there to pick up some kids at an Awana night, but people were discussing 'destroy this temple and I will rebuild it in 3 days.' The pastor was in the discussion. 'Yes I said, it is quite clear that Jesus had a way of interpreting that was based on himself as the climax.' The pastor was incensed that 'all the literal passages of the OT were being overlooked' yet the technique of Jesus is right there.

Btw, the disciples also did not understand this line until AFTER the resurrection when it was taught to them by Jesus in the 40 days that the resurrection was the restored temple, it was the enthronement, it was the new era of Messiah. This is so far from literalism, I don't know where to start.

The NT has 2500 uses of the OT and literalism like found among the Pharisees, especially in John, is not the way.

I appreciate the response. I am very conscious of the following and agree with this, but still look forward to the Temple in the 1000 years.

Hebrews 3:1–6 (KJV): 1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. 3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house. 4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God. 5 And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.

Kind regards

Exactly: we are the temple; that's what Jn 2, Eph 2, I Peter 2, Rom 12 are all saying. Enjoy!

Also it is the official interp by the apostles in Acts 15 of Amos 9 about the rebuilt tent of David.
