The Theology Proper (Doctrine of God)

The following are the attributes included in Theology 101: The Basics

Attributes of God
Doctrine of God: Essence and Attributes of God
	Attribute	Brief Definition
1	Aseity: Self-existence or independence	He is independent of his creation, self-sufficient in himself, cannot not exist, uncaused, without beginning or end and remains eternally the same for his people.
2	Immutability: Unchangeable and Consistent	He is unchanging, unchangeable, consistent, forever the same, undevelopable, without self-evolution, and constant, yet active with his creation, particularly with humankind.
3, 4	Infinite and Personal	God is limitless, for his universe does not contain him or restrain him, yet he is personal and relates to his creation, particularly humankind. (Louis Berkhoff)
5	Simplicity or One	God is a unity, undivided in parts and non-composite.
6	Eternity	God is outside created time and is everlasting, without beginning or end, without a succession of moments, one after another, and all things are eternally present before him.
7	Omnipresence: Everywhere	God is everywhere because he is Spirit and does not exist in parts, here or there, and he is not confined by the universe nor is he the universe.
8	Omnipotence	God is able to do everything out of his sovereign free will and according to his nature.
9	Omniscience	God knows everything about every thing, past, present and future, actual or possible, and nothing is unknown and hidden from him.
10	Omnisapience	God is all wise. His knowledge of everything enables him to apply it to bring about his goals.
11, 12	Sovereign and Free	God’s sovereign free will means that he exists in himself, delighting in his existence, and is the foundation of our existence.
13	Perfection	God is absolutely and totally complete and entire and whole—not broken or incomplete or deficient in his nature or being.
14	Blessed	God takes calm delight in all his being and excellencies and attributes. He blesses his creation.
15	Glory	God is radiant and awesome in splendor and light, honor and dignity, and fame and renown. He shines it on his creation and people.
16	Majesty	God’s majesty consists of unsurpassed greatness, highest eminence, unparalleled exaltation, and unmatched glory. (Norman Geisler)
17	Beauty	God’s attribute of beauty is the perfection and summation of his goodness and all desirable qualities in him, and it shines through his glory and light, producing awe and delight and inner beauty in the beholder. God’s beauty transforms everything it touches or claims, for the better. It makes a human morally good.
18	Spirit	God is spirit, unextended, unlimited by space, and nonphysical.
19	Invisibility	God is Spirit, not physical, and cannot be seen with human eyes.
20	Love	God is totally committed to his people. He deals kindly and mercifully and generously with humankind.
21	Goodness	God is morally upright, and kind and generous and bountiful with his people.
22	Graciousness	God gladly shows his unmerited goodness or love to those who have forfeited it and are by nature under a sentence of condemnation.
23	Compassion or Mercy	God takes pity on, shows love for, and is moved to help his people, when they suffer or are in trouble or need and do not deserve them.
24	Wrath	Out of his love and justice combined, God judges and punishes consistent and regular law-breaking and destructive sin. Wrath is judicial.
25	Jealousy	God is shows loving zeal and a righteous sense of urgency to protect his people and his covenant.
26	Peacefulness	God is calm, in control, and orderly, separate from all confusion and disorder. All his innumerable actions reflect his order, calm, and full control.
27	Patience	God is willing to wait for us to catch up to his moral law and show mercy and not judgment, despite our provoking him and breaking his law.
28	Holiness	God is completely distinct and separate from the ordinary and profane and common, and he reaches out to people to separate and save them from evil.
29	Righteousness or Justice	God is the ultimate standard of just and right actions, and he is the ultimate judge of unrighteousness and injustice.
30	Truthfulness or Faithfulness	God is stable, dependable, faithful, integrous, honest, accurate and completely veracious.

Tables of His Names, Titles, and Activities

A.. Table

Hebrew Names of God
1	Elohim	It means God and appears 2602 times in the Old Testament (a few other translations like “angel” or “god” must be subtracted), so it is right to say that the Old Testament is the story about God. It means at its root “to be strong,” “to be preeminent,” “mighty one,” and “great one.” It emphasizes God’s transcendence (“up there”). He is above others. It is plural in form (the –im suffix is masculine plural), but singular in meaning. Many plausibly argue that plurality in unity is embedded in the form of the word, indicating the Trinity. Other say it is a plural of majesty. It is both plurality in unity and majesty. Sometimes it is translated as “(false) god” (Is. 43:12; 45:14) or “(false) gods” (Gen. 31:30, 32; Ex. 12:12), depending on the context. Some verses used for Elohim indicating strength and preeminence: Gen. 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; Josh. 3:10. Other verses combining LORD God: Gen. 2:4-22; 24:7; Ex. 9:30; Deut. 6:4; Josh. 7:13; 1 Kings 11:9. Verses about the living God: Deut. 5:26; 2 Kings 19:4; Pss. 42:2; 84:2; Jer. 10:10
2	El	Some believe that the word elohim comes from el, which is used 237 times in the Hebrew Bible. When translated as “God,” it means “God, the Mighty One.” It is a title of majesty and power. (It is very used frequently in Job.) El and Elohim are interchangeable. Ps. 7:3 (Elohim) and 7:6 (El) are exact synonyms: God. And the same is true in Ps. 73:1 (Elohim) and 73:11 (El). Others examples could be multiplied (e.g. Ex. 34:14; Deut. 32:17, 21; Ps. 18:31). Compound words are built on el, such as Raphael, “God heals.” See below for compound names.
3	Adon (Adonai)	It means “lord, master” and is often translated as “Lord” in English Bibles (Hebrew ‘Adon and ‘Adonay, the -ay or -ai suffix meaning “my”). It is used 449 times, and 315 times about Yahweh (see below). In human relations, it indicates the master-servant relationship, and can be translated as “my lord” (Gen. 23:14; 24:9; Num. 36:2; 1 Sam. 1:15). God is the Master and the Sovereign Lord and exercises absolute authority, in accordance with his nature (Ps. 8:1; Hos. 12:14). Adonai is Lord of all and Lord of highest excellence and majesty. Some verses with Adonai in them, in conjunction with the Lord: Ex. 4:10; 4:13; 5:22; Judg. 6:15; Ps. 8:1, 9; 35:22-23; 38:9, 15; 62:12; 1:24; 3:1, 15; 6:1; Jer. 2:19; 46:10; 49:5; 50:31.
4	Yahweh	It is God’s covenant name. It is so sacred that devout Jews don’t say it aloud. It is spelled with four letters: YHWH, called the tetragrammaton (tetra– means “four”). It was originally written without vowels, so it is unclear how it was pronounced. Was it JeHoVaH? YaHWeH? The origins of the word are debated, but it probably comes from the Hebrew word for “to be.” Exodus 3:14-15 says, “God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: “I AM” has sent me. … This is my name forever.’” It is used 6,829 times in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and signifies one who exists and causes existence. In abbreviated lettering, it forms compound words, like Joshua, “The LORD saves.” Unlike ‘El and ‘Elohim, it is used only of the biblical God, not other gods or angels and so on. Through the name Yahweh, God is personal and reveals himself most frequently. The other names—Elohim, El, and Adonai—are known to other nations, but not Yahweh. It is unique to Israel. Various translations, like the New International Version and English Standard Version, puts the four Hebrew letters in all capitals: LORD. Verses combining LORD God: Gen. 2:4-22; 24:7; Ex. 9:30; Deut. 6:4; Josh. 7:13; 1 Kings 11:9. Significantly, Jesus uses the I AM words about himself: John 6:35; 8:12; 8:58; 10:9, 11; 11:25; 14:6; 15:1.

Excursus:

Let’s take a moment to explain a term.

As noted, El is sometimes translated as “(false) god,” depending on the context (Is. 44:6). Some skeptics claim that because a Canaanite deity is named El, and the Hebrew word is related, therefore the God of the Bible is just an old pagan deity. However, the two words in inkblots on the page may be the same, but the content is different. The God of the Bible is qualitatively different from the (false) Canaanite deity.

Think of the English word God. Its source is from German gott (Old High German got). It originally meant a Germanic pagan deity, but the followers of the Bible in northern Europe merely took over the word—inkblots on the page—and used it for the God of the Bible. There is a qualitative difference between a Germanic pagan deity and our God.

Don’t be confused by word origins and inkblots on the page.

Now back to the tables.

Compound Hebrew Names of El
5	El-Shaddai	It means “God Almighty” and probably relates to the word mountain. So it means “unmoving, great strength.” It may connect to God keeping his covenant, since in Gen. 17:1-8, God’s covenant with Abraham is reiterated. Some verses: Gen. 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; 43:14; 48:3; Ex. 6:3; Num. 24:4; 24:16.
6	El-Elyon	It is translated as “God Most High” and indicates God’s supremacy and majesty. The authors of the psalms like this name. Some verses: Gen. 14:18-22; Num. 24:16; Deut. 32:8; Ps. 7:8, 10, 17; 9:2; 18:13; 21:7; 46:4; 37:2; 50:14; 57:2; 73:11; 77:10; 78:17, 35, 56, 58; 82:6; 83:18; 91:1, 9; 92:1; 97:9; 107:11.
7	El-Olam	It signifies everlasting, forever, eternity, lasting, duration: Everlasting God or Eternal God. Some verses: 1 Chron. 16:36; Ps. 41:13; 90:2; 103:17; 106:48; Is. 40:28; Hab. 1:12.
8	El-Roi	God who sees me (Gen. 16:13). It denotes his omniscience—he sees (and knows) everything that happens.
9	El-Berith	The Covenant God—He relates to humans by his commitment to us. (Judg. 9:46

11	Yahweh-Jireh	The LORD Will Provide	Gen. 22:14

Names of God in Greek
21	Theos	It is by far the most frequent designation of God in the New Testament and translates most often Elohim. Sometimes it is used of false god or gods (Acts 12:22; 14:11; 17:23; 19:26-26; 1 Cor. 8:5; 2 Thess. 2:4). In on context if refers to the devil (“god of this world” in 2 Cor. 4:4) and hedonism (“god is their stomach” in Phil. 3:19). In the New Testament, it means he is the Creator, Sustainer, Incomparable Deity, Transcendent, Supreme.
22	Kurios (Kyrios)	It is used 717 times in the New Testament, mainly by Paul (275) and Luke (210), since they wrote to a wide swathe of the Greek world. It means supremacy and authority and dominion by rightful ownership.
23	Despotēs	It denotes ownership; he is master (Luke 2:29; Acts 4:24; 2 Pet. 2:1; Jude 4; Rev. 6:10)
24	Pantokratōr	It means Almighty Ruler (pan– means “all,” and krator means “ruler”). It is used mostly in Revelation: Rev. 1:8; 4:8; 11:17; 15:3; 16:7, 14; 19:6, 15; 21:22

Name that Fully Reveals His Relational Nature

Father

It is the ultimate name of intimacy and relationship with God, from God to us and we to him. In the Old Testament it is used 15 times of God (e.g. Ps. 103:13; Jer. 31:9; Ex. 4:22; Hos. 11:1), and 245 times of God in the New Testament. The Aramaic language uses Abba, which is a double syllable of ab or “father,” much like daddy is a doubling of dad or papa is of pa. So abba also means an intimate relationship with him.

This name of God is eternal because he has an eternal Son; therefore this is the fullest revelation of God’s name. And the Son invites us in to their relationship by revealing the Father. “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9).

Names of God Taken from His Activities
As God interacts with humanity, he often reveals his directions and priorities and goals, and so his names become clear because they are derived from his activities. In some cases, I avoided awkward names like “the Delighter” or “the Satisfier,” for example, but instead used the clauses “God Who Delights” and “God Who Satisfies.” Not “the Abundant One,” but “the God of Abundance”; not “the Empowerer,” but “God Who Empowers.” God’s names are embedded in those actions.

The Trinity

Trinitarian Verses The Father (God), the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit Are Mentioned
1	As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, “he saw the Spirit of God [Father] descending like a dove and lighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love and with him I am well pleased’” (Matt. 3:16-17).
2	But if it is by the Spirit of God that I [Jesus] drive out demons, then the kingdom of God [Father] has come upon you. (Matt. 12:28)
3	All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit […] (Matt 28:18-19)
4	At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. (Luke 10:21)
5	Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God [Father] unless they are born of water and the Spirit. (John 3:5)
6	For the one whom God has sent [Jesus] speaks the words of God [Father], for God gives the Spirit without limit. (John 3:24)
7	But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my [Jesus’s] name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:26)
8	“When the Advocate comes, whom I [Jesus] will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me [Jesus]. (John 15:26)
9	All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” (John 16:15)
10	Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” ²²And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. (John 20:21-22)
11	On one occasion, while he [Jesus] was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. ⁵For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1:4-5)
12	He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. ⁸But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my [Jesus’s] witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:7-9)
13	God [Father] has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. ³³Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. (Acts 3:32-33)
14	Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. ³⁹The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God [Father] will call.” (Acts 2:38-39)
15	God [Father] exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. ³²We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
16	[…] how God [Father] anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. (Acts 10:38)
17	[…] the gospel he [Father] promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures ³regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, ⁴and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom. 1:2-4)
18	For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God [Father] did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. (Rom. 8:3-4)
19	¹²And again, Isaiah says, “The Root of Jesse [Jesus] will spring up, one who will arise to rule over the nations; in him the Gentiles will hope.” ¹³May the God [Father] of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 15:12-13)
20	And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God [Father]. (1 Cor. 6:11)
21	Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God [Father] says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor. 12:3)
22	⁴There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.⁵There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord [Jesus]. ⁶There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God [Father] at work. (1 Cor. 12:4-6)
23	[…] to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God [Father], so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. (Rom. 15:15-17)
24	[…] by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God [Father]. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. (Rom. 15:19)
25	“May the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God [Father], and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Cor. 13:14).
26	But when the set time had fully come, God [Father] sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, ⁵to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. ⁶Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, “Abba, Father.” (Gal. 4:4-6)
27	For through him [Jesus] we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. (Eph. 2:18)
28	But when the kindness and love of God [Father] our Savior appeared, ⁵he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, ⁶whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, (Titus 3:4-6)
29	It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, ⁵who have tasted the goodness of the word of God [Father] and the powers of the coming age ⁶and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. (Heb. 6:4-6)
30	[…] have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and sprinkling by his blood (1 Peter 1:2)
31	But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, ²¹keep yourselves in God’s [Father’s] love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. (Jude 20-21)
32	And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. ²⁴The one who keeps God’s [Father’s] commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. (1 John 3:23-24)
33	²¹To the one who is victorious, I [Jesus] will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. ²²Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Rev. 3:21-22)
34	This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God [Father] who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. ¹³ Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.” (Rev.14:12-13)
I got this idea from Harwood, pp. 147-49.

Angelology (Doctrine about Angels)

Origins and Nature
1	They are spirits. (They do not have human bodies.)
2	God created them.
3	Therefore they have a beginning. (They are not eternal as God is.)
4	They do not die. (They are immortal.)
5	They are innumerable.
6	They were created good.
7	Traditional theology says that some good angels rebelled and were thrown out of heaven.
8	They are probably not made in the image of God, as humans are.
9	They live in heaven, but God sends them to accomplish his purposes in a lower, spiritual dimension, invisible to us.
10	They have moral judgment.
11	They have a certain measure of free will.
12	They have extremely limited wisdom and knowledge compared to God, but greater wisdom and knowledge than people have.
13	They cannot be in more than two places at one time, for they are not omnipresent.
14	They are powerful but not omnipotent.
15	They have the emotion of joy.
16	They are solemn.
17	They do not marry.
18	They can appear in incorruptible and immortal bodies.
19	They can eat human food.
20	They do not experience salvation and redemption in Christ, as humans do. But angels long to look into those matters.

Duties to People
1	They were intermediaries when the law of Moses was given.
2	They bring messages from God.
3	They praise and worship God.
4	They bring God’s provision to people.
5	They protect God’s people.
6	They serve as guardians.
7	They convey God’s guidance to people.
8	They interpret God’s will.
9	They carry out God’s will.
10	They carry out judgment.
11	They fight demons.
12	They sometimes appear in our visible realm, and people recognize them. At other times people do not or cannot recognize them.

Duties in the Life of Christ
1	Gabriel announced the birth of Jesus to Gabriel
2	An angel told Joseph in a dream of Jesus’s divine conception.
3	Angels announced birth of Jesus to shepherds.
4	An angel to Joseph in a dream to leave Egypt.
5	An angel told Joseph in a dream to return to Israel.
6	Angels ministered to Jesus after the temptation
7	An angel helped Jesus during suffering in Garden of Gethsemane.
8	Twelve legions of angels could have rescued Jesus from trial and crucifixion.
9	An angel rolled away the tombstone.
10	Angels announced Jesus’s resurrection.
11	Angels were present at his ascension
12	Angels will return with him.

Avoid Bad Teaching about Angels
1	They are not to be worshipped. Only God is to be worshipped through his Son.
2	They are not to be commanded. Only God commands them.
3	Avoid a bad teaching which misinterprets Psalm 103:20. Some teachers say that if we speak God’s “word” (the Bible), then we can command angels. But in Hebrew poetry, “word” is just a parallel for “bidding.” They obey God who commands (bids) and issues directives (words). This is God’s spoken commands to angels at any time, not our written Bible. Quoting the Bible does not activate them. Only God does this, not us.
4	We are not to obsess over them or seek after them. We are to seek God alone.
5	We are not to pray to angels but pray to God alone in his Son’s name.
6	We can ask angels questions and talk to them if one were to appear to us. But we are not to seek from them secret knowledge.
7	No new doctrines are to be sought from an angel, for Satan can appear as an angel of light.
8	There are no healing angels. Only God heals in the name of his Son and by the power of his Spirit.
9	Do not get involved with angels from world religions. They are probably demons.
10	Colossians 2:18 says not to get drawn into visions people have seen, even if they see angels. Just focus on the plain things of Scripture: salvation, holiness, regeneration (rebirth), life of Christ, evangelism, the simple gospel, and a long list of other clear teachings of Scripture.

Demonology (Doctrine about Demons)

Activities of Satan
Past Activities
1	He was originally created good, as all angels were.	Gen. 1:31
2	He led a revolt of angels in heaven. Traditional theology teaches that Satan and demons were once good angels, but they rebelled and were thrown down from heaven, some to chains in gloomy darkness and others to a spiritual dimension, invisible to us, below God’s heaven. They seem to exist in a hierarchy, with Satan being at the head. Now Satan is a fallen archangel, and the lesser angels are demons	2 Pe. 2:4; Rev. 12:7-8
3	He tempted Eve.	Gen. 3:1-7
4	He incited David to sin.	1 Chron. 21:1-2
5	He attacked and afflicted Job.	Job 1:6-19; Job 2:1-10
6	He tempted Jesus.	Matt. 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13
7	He was involved in putting Jesus to death.	Luke 22:2; John 14:30-31
Present Activities
8	He afflicts people with illness.	Luke 13:16; Acts 10:38
9	He steals, kills, and destroys, though the context says religious leaders do this. But I think we can expand the meaning to see Satan behind the verse.	John 10:10
10	He is the father of lies.	John 8:44
11	He does evil to people.	Matt. 13:38-39; Luke 13:11; Luke 13:16

13	He tries to keep people from true worship.	Matt. 13:19; 1 Pe. 5:8-9
14	He thwarts the spread of the gospel.	Matt. 13:19; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; 1 Thess. 2:18
15	He wants people to worship him.	Matt. 4:9; Luke 4:5-7
16	He masquerades as an angel of light to deceive people.	2 Cor. 11:14
17	He uses many schemes.	2 Cor. 2:11; Eph. 6:11
18	He persecutes the church.	Rev. 2:10; Rev. 12:13-17
19	He works through false teachers.	2 Thess. 2:9-10; 1 Tim. 4:1-2
20	He tries to separate believers from Christ.	Rom. 8:38-39
21	He (temporarily) holds the power over death.	Heb. 2:14-15
22	He empowers people to work signs and wonders to empower a lie, to deceive people.	2 Thess. 2:9
23	He inspires people in the church to teach false doctrines, called “doctrine or teachings of demons.”	1 Tim. 4:1
Future Activities
24	He will be totally bound and in chains and prison, during the millennium, if one believes in a literal millennium.	Rev. 20:2-3
25	He will be set free at the end of the millennium, if one believes in a literal millennium.	Rev. 20:7-10
26	He will empower an antichrist or man of lawlessness to work signs and wonders to empower a lie, to deceive people	2 Thess. 2:9; Rev. 13:2-4

Scriptures Say No to the Devil’s Playground
1	Divination (using dark ways to guess about the future and your life; it is linked with superstitions)	Deut. 18:10-11; Lev. 19:26; Is. 2:6
2	Sorcery (using spells and oaths to control). God promises to testify against sorcerers.	Deut. 18:10-11; Mal. 3:5
3	Interpreting omens (reading strange objects like animal entrails or bird flights or bird songs)	Deut. 18:10-11; Lev. 19:26
4	Witchcraft (much like sorcery, witches are generalists who occupy a hierarchy and practice all the dark arts	Deut. 18:10-11
5	Casting spells (speaking out verbal formulas to exert power over nature and people’s minds)	Deut. 18:10-11
6	Mediums and spiritists (they stand between the spirit world and the human and contacts evil spirits, which they are deceased relatives. God says he will cut people off of his people, if they seek mediums and spiritists who are in league with the god Molek, bloodthirsty satanic spirit.)	Deut. 18:10-11; Lev. 19:31
7	Consulting the dead (necromancy)	Deut. 18:10-11
8	Dark magic (using signs and wonders to maintain a lie that deceives people)	Deut. 18:10-11
9	Magic spells	Is. 47:12-13 (In each case Isaiah the holy prophet said that they ultimately cause terror, but they are destined to burn like stubble in the fire.)

11	Stargazing (reading stars)	Is. 47:12-13
12	God says not to listen to the false prophets, diviners, false interpreters of dreams, mediums, and sorcerers. They serve the king of Babylon, and Babylon represents the headquarters of evil.	Jer. 27:9
13	God promises to destroy Israel’s witchcraft and the casting of spells. Darks can destroy people today, too.	Mic. 5:12
14	Yes, the Old Covenant Scriptures (Old Testament) says to put these practioners of the dark arts to death, but this penalty is designed to teach us how seriously God takes these issues and opposes these practices. The NT offers a better solution (see below).	Ex. 22:18; Lev. 20:27
Purpose of the Dark Arts
15	They are calculated to figure out the future (but only God has the future in his hands, so depend on him).	Gen. 44:15; 1 Sam. 38:5-7; Dan. 2:27; Dan 2:27
16	They are supposed to control the future (but depend on God, not the dark arts)	Gen. 30:14; Num. 23:23
17	But the ultimate goal is for Satan to exercise as much power over people’s minds and souls as possible. Satan is referred to as a god	2 Cor. 4:4

Scriptures on the Differences between Sinai and New Covenants

Sinai Covenant

New Covenant

Moses and people are at foot of Mt. Sinai and the Sinai Covenant begins:

²⁰The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up ²¹and the Lord said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the Lord and many of them perish. ²²Even the priests, who approach the Lord, must consecrate themselves, or the Lord will break out against them.” (Exod. 19:20-22)

Ten Commandments are imposed, so law is built into the fabric of Sinai Covenant:

²“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
³“You shall have no other gods before me.
⁴“You shall not make for yourself an image ….
⁷“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God ….
⁸“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. …
¹²“Honor your father and your mother …
¹³“You shall not murder.
¹⁴“You shall not commit adultery.
¹⁵“You shall not steal.
¹⁶“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
¹⁷“You shall not covet …

Many other commandments are given, and people affirm they can keep them. The covenant was established by blood:

⁶Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he splashed against the altar. ⁷Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, “We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey.”

⁸Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words.” (Exod. 24:6-8)

Jesus established New Covenant by his sacrificial death and his blood:

¹⁹And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” ²⁰In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you (Luke 22:19-20)

Paul writes that he was a blameless law keeper, but he gave up his own righteousness based on law for Christ’s righteousness based on faith:

As for righteousness based on the law, faultless. ⁷But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. ⁸What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ ⁹and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. (Phil. 3:6-9)

The author of Hebrews says that the OT prophesied the New Covenant, and the New Covenant made the Old Sinai Covenant obsolete:

Hebrews 8:7-13, quoted above

Mark 2:5-7; Luke 7:48-49; Note: You can forgive someone who sins against you, but you have no right to forgive someone who sins against a third person (not you) or against God.

Yahweh = God = The Lord Jesus
	Old Testament	New Testament
1	Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God (Ex. 20:9-10a).	The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. (Mark 2:28)
2	⁹He [THE LORD] said, “Go and tell this people: “‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ ¹⁰Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” (Is. 6:9-10)	³⁷Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him. ³⁸This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: “Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” ³⁹For this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere: ⁴⁰“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them.” ⁴¹Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about him. (John 12:37-41; cf. Matt. 13:14-15)
3	The Lord says to my lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” (Ps. 110:1)	“‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’ ⁴⁵If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” (Matt. 22:44-45)
4	“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. (Mal. 3:1)	And you, my child [John the Baptist], will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him (Luke 1:76)
5	The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not lack (Ps. 23:1)	“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. (John 10:11)
6	The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread. ¹⁴He will be a holy place; for both Israel and Judah he will be a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. And for the people of Jerusalem he will be a trap and a snare. (Is. 8:13-14)	Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. ³³As it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.” (Rom. 9:32-33)
7	And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, even among the survivors whom the Lord calls. (Joel 2:32)	⁹If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. ¹¹As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” ¹²For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, ¹³for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Rom. 10:9-13)
8	“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. ²³By myself I have sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. (Is. 45:23)	It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’” (Rom. 14:11) At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil. 2:10-11)
9	“But let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. (Jer. 9:24)	It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. ³¹Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” (1 Cor. 1:30-31)
10	Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor? (Is. 40:13)	¹⁶“Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Cor. 2:16)
11	When you ascended on high, you took many captives; you received gifts from people, even from the rebellious—that you, Lord God, might dwell there. (Ps. 68:18)	This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” ⁹(What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions^[^c^]? ¹⁰He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) (Eph. 4:8-10)
12	People will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth. (Is. 2:19 see vv. 2, 21)	This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. ⁸He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. ⁹They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might (2 Thess. 1:7-9)
13	See, the Lord is coming with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind; he will bring down his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. (Is. 66:15)	2 Thess. 1:7-9 (see above)
14	He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. (Ps. 130:8)	While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, ¹⁴who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. (Titus 2:13-14)
15	In the beginning you [God] laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. ²⁶They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. ²⁷But you remain the same, and your years will never end. (Ps. 102:25-27)	He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. ¹¹They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. ¹²You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” (Heb. 1:10-12)
16	Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. (Is. 51:6)	Heb. 1:11, see above
17	Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. (Ps. 34:8)	Now … you have tasted that the Lord is good. (1 Pet. 2:3)
18	The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he is the one you are to dread. (Is. 8:13)	But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. (1 Pet. 3:15)
19	“And I [the LORD] will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. (Zech. 12:10)	“Look, he is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.” So shall it be! Amen. (Rev. 1:7)
20	“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” (Jer. 17:10)	Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Rev. 2:23)
21	“And with you, Lord, is unfailing love”; and, “You reward everyone according to what they have done.” (Ps. 62:12)	“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done.” (Rev. 22:12)
22	See the Sovereign LORD comes power, and he rules with his mighty arm. See his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. (Is. 40:10)	Rev. 22:12, see above
23	“This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. (Is. 40:10)	I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last (Rev. 22:13)

Soteriology

Theories of the Atonement
Name	Proponent	Teaching
Ransom to Satan	Origen (185-254)	Christ’s death was a ransom paid to Satan to satisfy claims Satan had against man. But Satan was deceived (think of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis). The goal: trick and defeat Satan
Recapitulation	Irenaeus (130-202)	Christ recapitulated in himself all the stages of life, including what belongs to us as sinners. His obedience took the place of man’s disobedience. Therefore our lives should be transformed. Goal: reverse the Fall.
Satisfaction	Anselm (1033-09)	Sinful man robbed God of his honor. God rewarded the death of Christ by viewing t as a work of supererogation (beyond necessity or duty or obligation) so that he can distribute its stored-up merits to us. Our faith enables us to appropriate these merits. Goal: pay the debt of sin
Moral Influence	Abelard (1079-1142)	Death of Christ was not an expiation for sin but a suffering with his creatures to manifest God’s love. This suffering love should awaken a response of love in sinner and bring an ethical change in him. This liberates him from power of sin. Resembles Moral Example. Goal: Show God’s love to us.
Moral Example	Socinus (1539-1604)	Christ’s death did not atone for sin but revealed faith an obedience as the way to eternal life and inspiring people to lead a similar life. Resembles Moral Influence. Goal: Show God’s love in us.
Governmental	Grotius (1583-1645)	God’s government demanded the death of Christ to show his displeasure with sin. Christ did not suffer the penalty of the law, but God accepted his suffering for that penalty. Goal: keep moral order.
Dramatic	Gustav Aulen (1879-1978)	In his death Christ gained victory over the powers of evil. Goal: Christ is victor, defeat Satan, and evil and sin.
Christus Victor	Luther (1483-1546)	Resembles Dramatic theory. Goal: Christ is victor over the devil, evil and sin.
Barthian	Barth (1886-1968)	Christ’s death was principally a revelation of God’s love and hatred for sin.
Mystical	Schleiermacher (1768-1834)	Christ was the absolute unity of divinity and humanity. God became man that man might become God. As God-men, they partake of the divine human nature or the life of Christ. Christ’s redeeming activity exhibits it as the establishment of new life common to him and us. His redemption he takes us into this fellowship of his activity and life. We come into mystical union with him. Goal: Unite us with God.
Substitution	Calvin (1509-1564)	Christ the sinless one took on himself the penalty that should have been borne by humanity. Humans should have been on the cross, but he took our place (substitution). Goal: appease wrath, release mercy.

I trust this table will help you distinguish between justification and sanctification.

	Forensic Justification	Sanctification
1	It is an aspect of salvation.	It is also an aspect of salvation.
2	Justification is linked to sanctification but distinct.	Sanctification is linked to justification but distinct.
3	Justifications happens at same time at the start of sanctification, but justification is logically prior.	Sanctification happens at same time as justification, but sanctification is logically after justification.
4	On your repentance and faith in his Son, God declares you holy and righteous.	At your conversion and infilling of the Spirit, you begin to live holy.
5	It is a legal / forensic declaration, as a one-time act. (This table is not about moral or ethical justification.)	It is a lifelong process, as the fruit of the Spirit grows in you.
6	God alone imputes holiness to believer.	Born-again believer cooperates with God to grow in holiness.
7	At his imputation, God sees and thinks of you as holy.	You may not feel holy, but in God’s sight you are. Now live out his holiness in you.
8	It happens outside of you, from God’s point of view.	It happens inside of you, both from God’s and the believer’s (limited) point of view.
9	It is a free gift by grace through faith in Christ, and we cannot earn it by our good works.	It is a free gift by grace through faith, but after conversion we have to work and live out salvation.
10	It is deliverance from the penalty of sin (and the penalty is death).	The Spirit enables believer to overcome the power of sin. He can overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil.
11	It launches the true believer towards sanctification.	It enables the believer to become more like Christ until the Second Coming or when the believer dies.
12	It is the same for all believers.	Growing in Christ is stronger and faster in some believers than in others.

Views on Eschatology
Categories	Amillennialism	Postmillennialism	Historic Premillennialism	Dispensational Premillennialism
Second Coming	Single event; rapture and Second coming happen at same time, on last day; second coming launches eternal kingdom / state, where Christ reigns in new heaven and new earth	Single event, no distinction between rapture and Second Coming (see amill.)	Rapture and Second Coming simultaneous; Christ returns to reign on earth	Second Coming in two phases (1) Rapture of church; (2) Second Coming to earth 7 years later
Resurrection	General, of believers and unbelievers together at Second Coming	General, of believers and unbelievers at Second Coming (see amill.)	Resurrection of believers at beginning of millennium; resurrection of unbelievers at end of millennium	Distinction: 1.. Church at rapture 2.. OT / tribulation saints at Second Coming 3.. Unbelievers at end of the millennium
Judgments	One judgment of all people at same time after Second Coming	General judgment of all people (see amill.)	Judgment at Second Coming; and judgment at end of future tribulation at end of millennium	Distinctions: 1.. Believers’ judged works at rapture 2.. Jews / Gentiles at end of tribulation 3.. Unbelievers at end of millennium
Tribulation	Experienced in this age, maybe it intensifies right before Second Coming	Experienced in this age (see amill.)	Posttrib view: church goes through the future tribulation	Pretrib. view: church is raptured before trib.
Millennium	No literal millennium; “thousand years” means a long time; Christ reigning invisibly from heaven now	Present age blends into millennium because of progress of the gospel; (amills. do not believe in positive progress, so this is a difference). Christ reigns invisibly from heaven.	Millennium is both present and future; Christ is reigning in heaven; millennium not necessarily 1,000 years	At Second Coming Christ inaugurates literal thousand-year millennium on earth
Israel and Church	Church is the new Israel; no distinction between Israel and church (but I believe ethnic Jews and geo-political Israel still play an important role and will be saved if they do not continue in unbelief (Rom. 11:23, 26)	Church is new Israel, no distinction between Israel and church	Some distinction between Israel and church; future for Israel but church is spiritual Israel	Complete distinction between Israel and church’ distinct program for each
Moody, Handbook, p. 411, I adapted their basic idea.

Genesis and Old Creation versus the Revelation and New Creation The Revelation Reverses Genesis
	Genesis	Revelation
1	Old Creation	New Creation
	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (1:1) God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” (1:10)	Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. (20:11) Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. (21:1)
2	Creation of Light	Glory of God Is Light
	And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (1:3)	The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light (21:23-24)
3	Creation of Night	No More Night
	God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” (1:5)	The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. (21:23) There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. (22:5)
4	Creation of Sun and Moon	No More Sun and Moon
	God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. (1:16)	The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. (21:23)
5	Reign over God’s Old Creation	Reigning with God over New Creation
	Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” (1:26)	And they will reign forever and ever (22:5)
6	River from Eden	River from God’s Throne
	A river watering the garden flowed from Eden (3:10)	Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. (22:1-2)
7	Forbidden Tree in Garden	Tree of Life Accessed Forever
	And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” (2:16-17)	[…] down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. (22:2)
8	Garden = Old Tabernacle or Temple	God and Lamb Are the Temple
	Some scholars teach that the Garden was an early temple / sanctuary with God’s presence. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed. […] The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (2:8, 15) Here are verses outside of Genesis: Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. (Ex. 40:34) When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple. (2 Chron. 7:1)	And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. (21:3) I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. (21:22)
9	Priests Limited to Aaron and Sons	All of God’s People Are Priests
	Some scholars say Adam was a proto-priest. The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (2:15) A verse outside of Genesis: Appoint Aaron and his sons to serve as priests; anyone else who approaches the sanctuary is to be put to death.” (Num. 3:10)	Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years. (20:6) The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. (22:3)
10	Appearance of the Serpent	Destruction of the Serpent
	Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. (3:1)	He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. […] And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur (20:2, 10)
11	Fall of Humanity	Final Restoration of Humanity
	When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. (3:6)	And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. (21:3)
12	Beginning of Pain	End of Pain and Tears
	To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. (3:16)	‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, (21:4) ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ (7:17)
13	Beginning of Curse	End of Curse
	To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; (3:17)	No longer will there be any curse. (22:3)
14	Banishment from God’s Presence	Living in God’s Eternal Presence
	So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. (3:23)	[…] “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. (7:15) They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads (22:4)
15	Access to Tree of Life Closed	Access to Tree of Life Always Open
	He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” […] After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. (3:22, 24)	“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. (22:14)
16	Death from Eating the Forbidden Tree	Life from Eating the Tree of Life
	[…] for when you eat from it you will certainly die. (3:17)	There will be no more death (21:4) On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. (22:2)
17	Old, First Order (Back to Chaos)	New and Final Order
	To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’ “Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. […] And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” (3:17-18, 22)	I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. (Rev. 21:2) ‘[…] for the old order of things [“first things”] has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new! (21:4-5)
18	Universal Sinfulness	Full Redemption of Humanity
	“[…] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. (8:21)	“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” (5:9-10)
19	Murder	No Murderers
	[…] Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. (4:8)	Outside are […] those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (Rev. 22:15)
20	Violence over All the Earth	No More Wars but Healing of Nations
	Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. (6:11-13)	When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore. They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. (20:7-13) On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. (22:2)
21	Disunity of People and Language	Total Unity of People and Languages
	So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel [“confused”] —because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. (11:8-9)	“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” (5:9-10)After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. (7:9)
22	Hope (Protoevangelium)	Fulfilled
	To the serpent: And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” (3:15)	But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur (20:9-10)
