Q

Title Slide: 2 Thessalonians

A

The End of Eschatology: As to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being
gathered together to him, we beg you, brothers and sisters, not
to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by spirit or by
word or by letter, as though from us, to the effect that the day
of the Lord is already here. Let no one deceive you in any
way; for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first
and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for
destruction (2 Thess 2:1-3)

Title Slide: The end of the Church

and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In
him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy
temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together
spiritually into a dwelling place for God (Eph 2:19-22).

Title Slide: "end of Judaism?"
Hebrews: Now the main point of what we are saying i s this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty i n heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being. Every high priest i s appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so i t was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. They serve at a sanctuary that i s a copy and shadow of what i s in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “ See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain. ” But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises (8:1-6).
