Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Great Fantasy writings demand our ‘belief’ in the world of Fantasy, hence, they demand a *suspension of disbelief of the Fantasy Writing*.
Romans 11:28 – Many of them (Israel) are enemies for YOUR SAKE….but as regarding ELECTION, they (Israel) are beloved for the sake of their forefathers’.
In this lecture we cover the souls that exist in, around and at the Great Throne of God AFTER the Second Judgement-i.e., the Final Judgement, the Final Ressurection, the Final Restoration.
This audio lecture covers what Aeon is and what it is not. As we stated in the past written and audio lectures, Aeon means ‘ages’ of finite but undefined time.
“Apocalyptic Literature is not all about the future- but, rather, it is a type of poetry to express God’s Universal Plan in a collective of time-Aeon”
The Greek word for “time segment”, or, Aionios was contrasted with Adios – meaning “infinity”. These two terms were used throughout Homeric times down to the 1st century A.D. Christian Church. As we introduce the term “Adion” for infinity in this lecture piece we will see what Aeon is not.
The earliest ideas of Eternity were associated in pictographic form originally. This allowed for ‘pictures’ to be ‘as words’ in the European world, let alone the recipients of the Semitic world.
In parts 1 and 2 we did a brief glimpse into the socio-linguistic aspect of the New Testament *vocabulary*. A more complex study pertaining to parts 1 and 2 can be obtained by studying the Paideia of the Christian youth in the first and second centuries.
“Paideia” (cf. Dr. Werner Yeager’s treatment on “Christian Paideia” and “Classical Greek Paideia”) was the classical education for the first century Christian Children which means, “to walk; walk; the walk”—-i.e., “the little *footers*”. One could use the Star Wars term, “Padua (same term as Paideia) ”, for “young ones learning “The Force”. We see this term in “Pediatrics” for medical care for the youth.
