The Advent Hope in the New Testament
Harold E. Fagal
; Loma Linda University, CA, USA
Sažetak
According to Oscar Cullmann“The hope of the final victory is so much the more vivid because of the unshakably firm conviction that the battle that decides the victory has already taken place.”
This is the radically new element in the eschatology of the New Testament. That for which the Jews looked was entirely in the future; that for which the church hopes is still future, but it is based on a past historical event. When Jesus came the first time the decisive point in the time line of redemptive history was reached. He is the Lord of the church now, but one day He will be acknowledged for what He will be—“King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev. 19:16). For this the church still waits in joyful anticipation.
