Genevanpreacher,

Thank you for clarifying the issue and the confusion as to exactly what we are to referring to now.

As you may, or may not have noticed, I did not respond to any of the posts concerning the Matthew 5:13-16 and the 17-18 previous statements. I did this as I felt both of you and Ronda had valid points and I did not want to interfere with that discussion; but just sit back and read.

When the Lord Jesus said, "Think not that I am not come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."  Matthew 5:17 can be applicable to all of the prophecies concerning salvation and future prophecy. So, according to that context, I have no bone of contention with you.

Alan

While I do agree that Matthew 5:17 clearly states that YES Jesus has fulfilled the prophesies in salvation in verse 17

I do not agree that "all has been fulfilled" in verse 18. Not one jot or tittle should pass until when? Till heaven an earth pass. AND Till all be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth have not passed away, and ALL has not been fulfilled, as there are many prophecies yet to be fulfilled in the end days. 

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." 

Here is were I do have (yet another) point of contention:

from the law, till all be fulfilled."*

*Please read the bold type that I highlighted...please?

The text is speaking about Jesus Christ fulfilling the sacrifices of the Law to take care of our sin issue.

Genevan took the phrase:  "from the law, till all be fulfilled"   which is part of verse 18

He then stated that verse 18 is "speaking about Jesus Christ fulfilling the sacrifices of the Law to take care of our sin issue."

I contend that yes, verse 17 clearly speaks to Christ fulfilling the sacrifices of the law to take care of our sin issue.  Jesus came (the first time) as the sacrificial lamb, the perfect blood atonement for the salvation which the law could not do.

However, verse 18 does not. Heaven and earth have not passed away and ALL has not (yet) been fulfilled. 

18  "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." 

SO please clarify for me, Alan, since you said you have no bone of contention with Genevan.... Do you believe that ALL has been fulfilled? And that heaven and earth have passed away? (as shown in verse 18) Because there are SEVERAL prophecies which have not yet been fulfilled.

Ronda,

Please look at my last sentence, I said: " ... Matthew 5:17 can be applicable to all of the prophecies concerning salvation and future prophecy." That is true and in agreement with you Ronda. All of the prophecies have not been fulfilled that were prophesied by the Old Testament prophets, nor by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 24, nor by the Apostle Paul, Peter nor Jude. All of these prophecies are yet to be fulfilled.

With the  context of salvation I have no bone of contention with Genevanpreacher. All of the prophecies concerning Christ and His cross for the redemption of our soul has been fulfilled.

Now, our bone of contention is the coming literal kingdom on the earth. That prophecy has not been fulfilled and was what the conversation with Pilate in John 18:36 is talking about.

I hope this clarifies my posting.

First off, both verses are talking about the same thing.

Salvation attained through what Jesus Christ accomplished in fulfilling what was written FOR him and ABOUT him.

Let me explain -

The Law showed what Christ would accomplish in his sacrifice on the cross.

The Prophets spoke about what Christ fullfilled in describing the One who would accomplish the needs of the Law.

Both were fulfilled - Christ was who the Prophets described, and Christ sacrificed himself according to the letter of the Law.

Seems simple enough to understand in my thinking.

And, in my opinion, if that is a correct understanding, then all that info is good 'til heaven and earth pass away'.

The Savior and his sacrifice are good forever and for everyone.

The prophecies of the coming Kingdom, with the risen King David, and the literal prophecies concerning the restoration of the nation of Israel, in their own land, was not fulfilled on the Cross of Calvary, but we are awating the promised kingdom as discussed in this thread.

Genevanpreacher,

In Revelation 19, when the Lord Jesus comes with HIs church (the saints from the church age), He is coming as KING OF KINGS AND LORD AND LORDS. "And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." Revelation 19:16

And, after the battle in Revelation 19:17-21 the Lord Jesus confines Satan in the the bottomless pit, Revelation 21:1-3 and then in Revelation 20:4 the Lord Jesus sits on His throne, 'the kingship,' in Jerusalem to reign 1000 years. This is in fulfillment of the prophecy of Daniel 7:13 and 14, "I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."

I covered this aspect of the kingship of Christ more fuller in the Revelation Chapter 19-22 Study. Here is the link to the particular page that deals with the Millennial Reign of Christ: http://www.onlinebaptist.com/home/topic/23115-revelation-chapter-19-22-study/?page=3

Also, recently I revised the Revelation Chapter 19-22 Study and had it printed into spiral bound book form. Genevanpreacher, if you would like to have a copy of it I will send you it free of charge (including free postage). All I need is an address. You can send me the address through personal messenger.

Either way, I do hope the short lesson answered your question and anybody else interested.

God bless.

Alan

Brother "Invicta,"

I notice that in such discussions as this, you like to bring forward the above verse - John 18:36. 

Concerning this verse I wish to ask you a question -- What is the meaning of the word "now" in the closing line of John 18:36?

 

On ‎11‎/‎12‎/‎2015‎ ‎1‎:‎29‎:‎41‎, Invicta said:

Don't panic.  I don't rush to answer fatuous questions I will reply in due course.  

 

Ah, yes, such great wisdom for Bible study --

Although the ability to live pleasing unto the Lord our God is by every single word "that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord" (see Deuteronomy 8:3), and although every single word of God's Holy Word is pure (see Proverbs 30:5), and although every single word of God's Holy Word is "given by inspiration of God" through the work of God the Holy Spirit, such that every single word of God's Holy Word is "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (see 2 Timothy 3:16-17 & 2 Peter 1:20-21), yet we should certainly recognize that asking a question concerning one of those single words of God's Holy Word as employed in a particular context of God's Holy Word is an utterly foolish ("fatuous") thing to do.

In addition, since the ploughboy has been used in a previous discussion against my "jot and tittle" method of precise grammatical and contextual analysis in Bible study, I am moved to mention my belief that that very ploughboy would not have any difficulty in understanding the meaning of the single syllable temporal adverb, "now," as used in the simple sentence of eight words, "But now is my kingdom not from hence."

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

 

I believe the above verses quoted from God's word in Luke 24 answer the question of whether the Law and the Prophets were fulfilled or not.

And the following covers it well also, about the Lord fulfilling what the Prophets said -

17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Yeah Ronda and Alan, Jesus Christ fulfilled it all. At that time!

Sorry Ronda, but you said it -

"While I do agree that Matthew 5:17 clearly states that YES Jesus has fulfilled the prophesies in salvation in verse 17

I do not agree that "all has been fulfilled" in verse 18. Not one jot or tittle should pass until when? Till heaven an earth pass. AND Till all be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth have not passed away, and ALL has not been fulfilled, as there are many prophecies yet to be fulfilled in the end days. 

Matthew 5:17 "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil."
18 "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." "

 

And I will close with this for now -

 

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Brother "Genevanpreacher,"

Does this mean that it is your belief that there is not a single prophetic utterance in the Old Testament Law and Prophets concerning our Lord Jesus Christ's Second Coming?

Or, does this mean that it is your belief that our Lord Jesus Christ's Second Coming has already occurred, and has thus already been fulfilled?

I have a question Scott.

Does all mean all, or does fulfilled mean fulfilled?

If you have to add to Gods word for implications to appear, you are doing just that, creating implications.

I know this is said much too often, but, Scott, I believe the scriptures in what they say, not what I believe they say.

As I am sure you do also.

What the scriptures said about the coming Messiah, Jesus fulfilled.

What the scriptures said about what the coming Messiah was going to do, Jesus fulfilled.

In the NH and NE Jesus Christ will rule the saved from his throne, the 'Davidic' throne of the Lord God, on the earth in the New Jerusalem for the rest of eternity.

David will never rule Israel again. 

All the so-called 'prophecies' that dispyism teaches will apply to the lost people we term Jews, are fulfilled in Jesus Christ's fulfillment of the scriptures.

The end of that fulfillment is unending. He will fulfill all that applies to the saved, his ONLY people, throughout eternity.

Furthermore, it is in deliberate violation of the warning given by the Holy Spirit in Revelation 22:18 and 19, "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the prophecy of this book of thisprophecy, God shall take away his part of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

These translators who take away the very words of the Lord Jesus, "now," in John 18;36 are in clear violation of this warning. These translators despise the very words of the Lord Jesus, the scriptures and the doctrine of the coming, visible kingdom of the Lord Jesus.

Alan

Once again...

Why do some people use verses talking specifically about one book of prophecy and apply it to the whole bible?

You are not paying attention Alan.

So unlike you.

The warning was for Revelation, not the whole Bible.

Genevan,

Please look again at the verses you quoted...look at what they are saying...

Luke 24:25-27
25   Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26   Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27   And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

The disciples, not knowing that it was Jesus talking to them, were telling him that they thought Jesus would have been the one to redeem Israel...but he was dead. However, some were claiming that he was alive, but when others went to the tomb to see if it were true, they didn't see him.

Christ was admonishing these disciples for not believing "all" that the prophets had spoken. In other words, they didn't believe what the prophets said about Christ suffering, dying, and resurrecting. They didn't believe it "all". So, Christ expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things that were "concerning" himself. He simply explained the things that were written about him.

Acts 3:17-26
17   And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18   But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19   Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20   And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21   Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22   For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23   And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24   Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25   Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26   Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

I'm not sure what your intent was with those verses, but it's clear...

Verse 18 - the things God showed by the mouth of all his prophets were...that Christ should suffer. Christ fulfilled those things...that's what Peter is talking about...Christ's sufferings.

Verse 21 - Why did you underline the second part of the verse but not the first part? The first part (along with verses 19 and 20) explains the second part...Christ will be in heaven until the restitution of all things. THEN, Christ will return. The restitution of ALL hasn't happened yet, or Christ would have already returned. There's still more to be fulfilled! Anyway, that's what your underlined part is referring to.

Verse 24 - All the prophets foretold of these days. What were the days that Peter was referring to? He explained it in the previous verses.

Why include verse 26 in your list? That sums up everything. All that Peter was talking about...all that he kept referencing as being foretold by ALL the prophets...came down to verse 26. Christ suffered and was killed, but God raised him up to bless them in turning every one of them from their iniquities. In other words, the gospel was foretold, Christ fulfilled it, and salvation is offered.

Acts 13:32-41
32   And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33   God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34   And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35   Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36   For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37   But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38   Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39   And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40   Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41   Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Again, I'm not sure of your intent with these verses either...

Verses 32 and 33 refer to what promise? This promise was fulfilled because Christ rose from the dead. Well, if we don't stop at what you underlined, we will see what the promise was. It's found in verse 34...because Christ is risen from the dead, God will give them "the sure mercies of David". What in the world does that mean? Here's what it means...

Isaiah 55:3
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Okay, but what in the world are "the sure mercies of David"? Here's what it means...

Isaiah 55:3-4
3   Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4   Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

Verse 4 describes what "the sure mercies of David" is. "Someone" will be a witness for the people, a leader and a commander for the people. First...who are "the people"? The people are the nation of Israel. Second, the sure mercies of David describes what the person will do. David was a witness for the people, a leader and commander for the people...but...David was already dead when Isaiah wrote that, so he was talking about someone in the future...someone who would be a witness for the nation of Israel, a leader for the nation of Israel, and a commander for the nation of Israel.

Since Christ was resurrected, HE will be that person who will give Israel "the sure mercies of David.

Verse 40 - what was he referring to as being "spoken of in the prophets"? Well, he starts off with "Beware"...so it's a warning...and the warning is verse 41. In other words, they had better believe everything he was saying previously concerning Christ, because if they didn't...they would be with those who refused to believe though it was declared to them...and they'd be lost.

Now, just in these verses that you yourself have quoted, I've shown that not everything has been fulfilled. Yes, Christ fulfilled "all" that the prophets had spoken regarding salvation, but not "all" prophecy has been fulfilled.

1. The restitution of all things hasn't happened yet. If it had, Christ would have already returned.

2. The sure mercies of David hasn't happened yet...a promise included in the verses you gave...a promise given to the nation of Israel.

24   And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.


...David will never have any rule in Israel again?

Genevan,

Please look again at the verses you quoted...look at what they are saying...

Luke 24:25-27
25   Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26   Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27   And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

The disciples, not knowing that it was Jesus talking to them, were telling him that they thought Jesus would have been the one to redeem Israel...but he was dead. However, some were claiming that he was alive, but when others went to the tomb to see if it were true, they didn't see him.

Christ was admonishing these disciples for not believing "all" that the prophets had spoken. In other words, they didn't believe what the prophets said about Christ suffering, dying, and resurrecting. They didn't believe it "all". So, Christ expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things that were "concerning" himself. He simply explained the things that were written about him.

Acts 3:17-26
17   And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18   But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19   Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20   And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21   Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22   For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23   And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24   Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25   Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26   Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

I'm not sure what your intent was with those verses, but it's clear...

Verse 18 - the things God showed by the mouth of all his prophets were...that Christ should suffer. Christ fulfilled those things...that's what Peter is talking about...Christ's sufferings.

Verse 21 - Why did you underline the second part of the verse but not the first part? The first part (along with verses 19 and 20) explains the second part...Christ will be in heaven until the restitution of all things. THEN, Christ will return. The restitution of ALL hasn't happened yet, or Christ would have already returned. There's still more to be fulfilled! Anyway, that's what your underlined part is referring to.

Verse 24 - All the prophets foretold of these days. What were the days that Peter was referring to? He explained it in the previous verses.

Why include verse 26 in your list? That sums up everything. All that Peter was talking about...all that he kept referencing as being foretold by ALL the prophets...came down to verse 26. Christ suffered and was killed, but God raised him up to bless them in turning every one of them from their iniquities. In other words, the gospel was foretold, Christ fulfilled it, and salvation is offered.

Acts 13:32-41
32   And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33   God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34   And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35   Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36   For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37   But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38   Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39   And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40   Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41   Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Again, I'm not sure of your intent with these verses either...

Verses 32 and 33 refer to what promise? This promise was fulfilled because Christ rose from the dead. Well, if we don't stop at what you underlined, we will see what the promise was. It's found in verse 34...because Christ is risen from the dead, God will give them "the sure mercies of David". What in the world does that mean? Here's what it means...

Isaiah 55:3
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Okay, but what in the world are "the sure mercies of David"? Here's what it means...

Isaiah 55:3-4
3   Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4   Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

Verse 4 describes what "the sure mercies of David" is. "Someone" will be a witness for the people, a leader and a commander for the people. First...who are "the people"? The people are the nation of Israel. Second, the sure mercies of David describes what the person will do. David was a witness for the people, a leader and commander for the people...but...David was already dead when Isaiah wrote that, so he was talking about someone in the future...someone who would be a witness for the nation of Israel, a leader for the nation of Israel, and a commander for the nation of Israel.

Since Christ was resurrected, HE will be that person who will give Israel "the sure mercies of David.

Verse 40 - what was he referring to as being "spoken of in the prophets"? Well, he starts off with "Beware"...so it's a warning...and the warning is verse 41. In other words, they had better believe everything he was saying previously concerning Christ, because if they didn't...they would be with those who refused to believe though it was declared to them...and they'd be lost.

Now, just in these verses that you yourself have quoted, I've shown that not everything has been fulfilled. Yes, Christ fulfilled "all" that the prophets had spoken regarding salvation, but not "all" prophecy has been fulfilled.

1. The restitution of all things hasn't happened yet. If it had, Christ would have already returned.

2. The sure mercies of David hasn't happened yet...a promise included in the verses you gave...a promise given to the nation of Israel.

 

So...David...who was dead when this was written...

Ezekiel 34:23-24
23   And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24   And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.


...David will never have any rule in Israel again?

 

I have already explained. If you want to twist my answer you can.

Thanks.

As for David? Tell me NN, just who is sitting on who's throne?

Acts 2 -

29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;

31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.

32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.

36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
