“But now that the Messiah has come and God's revelation to mankind has been completed, written in a book and made available to the people of all nations with nothing more to be added, there is no further need for a separate people or nation to serve that purpose.”
“God's plan of salvation for a lost world was that he would provide a Redeemer through whose life and death redemption would be worked out.”
“In accordance with this the entire system of Judaism has been abrogated, brought to an end and abolished. And in its place the New Covenant has become the authoritative and official instrument for God's dealings with his people, the church.”
“Since the Messiah has come and has fully performed his work of atonement, this special role assigned to the Jews has been fulfilled. Hence there remains no reason whatever for reviving or re-establishing any one or more of the elements of the old system.”
“What Paul termed the "dividing wall of hostility" between Jew and Gentile has been broken down, and it is never to be raised up again. Christ performed his work equally for men of all nationalities and races.”
“I agree that the church is often spoken of in the New Testament as spiritual Israel and that the basic dispensationalist principle of an absolute distinction between Israel and the church, involving two distinct purposes of God and two distinct peoples of God, has no biblical warrant.”
“But I do not agree that what is described in chapter 20 necessarily follows chronologically what is described in chapter 19, any more than what is described in chapter 12 (the birth of the man-child) follows chronologically what is described in the last verses of chapter 11 (the judging of the dead and the giving of rewards to the saints). The reasons why I believe that Revelation 20:1 takes us back to the beginning of the New Testament era are given in my essay, pages 156-60.”
“binding of Satan described in verses 1-3. He does not tell us exactly what he thinks this binding means nor precisely what he understands by "deceive the nations no more." He does not relate the binding of Satan spoken of here to passages in the Gospels which speak of such a binding as having already begun at the time of Christ's first coming (see pp. 161-64 of my essay).”
“I have tried to show that the binding of Satan in Revelation 20:1-3 can be understood to mean that Satan cannot prevent the spread of the gospel during the present age, that he cannot gather Christ's enemies together to attack the church, and that this binding takes place during the entire era of the New Testament church (see pp.”

“La resurrección de Jesús no es un hecho aislado que proporcione a las personas una confianza cálida y una esperanza de una resurrección futura; es el comienzo de la misma resurrección escatológica.”
“Justification is an eschatological fact that has occurred in history. It means acquittal from the guilt of sin by a favorable decision of the Judge. This decision has already been rendered for believers on the ground of the death of Christ (Rom. 3:21-26).
