Good News for All Nations

Jesus is the true and only way of access to the Father, the Greater Tabernacle, and the House of God – John 1:47-50. The  Gospel of John  presents Jesus as the  True House of God . He is the way of access to the presence of God that is now open to all men. The man from Nazareth has become the True  Bethel , the “ House of God .” From now on, Heaven is open to all men, and angels are “ ascending and descending ” on the “ Son of Man .” What Jacob saw in a vision long ago has become reality in Jesus Christ.

Последние дни, время свершения, начались со Смерти, Воскресения и воцарения Иисуса Христа . Когда мы слышим термин “ Последние дни ”, мы предполагаем, что он относится к последним нескольким годам истории непосредственно перед возвращением Христа. Тем не менее, Новый Завет описывает этот период как эпоху свершения, которая началась после смерти и воскресения Иисуса и излияния Святого Духа в день Пятидесятницы. Во Христе “ Конец эпох ” настал для Церкви, народа Божьего - (1–е Коринфянам 10:11).

The Last Days, the time of fulfillment, began with the Death, Resurrection, and the Enthronement of Jesus Christ . When we hear the term “ Last Days ” we assume it refers to the final few years of history just before Christ’s return. Nevertheless, the New Testament presents this period as the era of fulfillment that began following the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, and the outpouring of the Spirit on Pentecost. In Christ, the “ ends of the ages ” have come upon the Church, the people of God – (1 Corinthians 10:11).

The Gift of the Spirit is for every man who repents and follows Jesus, even to those afar off, and in fulfillment of the promise of the Father . After completing his sermon on the Day of Pentecost, Peter summoned his audience to repent and be baptized “ in the name of Jesus Christ .” But something more than a call to accept the Gospel was transpiring. The Apostle concluded his sermon on a note of fulfillment and with a foretaste of things to come, for the “ promise is to you, your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God will call .”

Paul links the bodily resurrection of believers to the New Creation. Both events are part of the redemption achieved by Jesus – Romans 8:1-23. There is “ now no condemnation ” for anyone who is “ in Christ Jesus .” This happy condition exists because the “ law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and of death ,” and the Apostle Paul goes on to link our salvation to the inheritance we have together with Jesus, the liberation of the creation, and the “ redemption of our body ” - (Romans 8:23).
