Hebrews 9:26
carol70:
This is why judgment follows death, as it says in verse 27, to deal with the unbelievers. So, once all go through judgment I expect all will eagerly await Him for salvation! That's kinda how I see it.

Hi Gene and Carol,
Now you've got think thinking on this scripture :)
Heb 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.(NKJV)
The part of this verse that says "apart from sin," this could only be speaking of the elect.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
v. 2 But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me (all the elect) free from the law of sin and death.
v. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;
v. 4 so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Only the elect that are awaiting and will receive salvation at His appearing.
Col 3:1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
v. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
v. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
v. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
mercy, peace, and love

Would you please refer me to the translation you are using where you refer:
Heb 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, for salvation.(NKJV)
The part of this verse that says "apart from sin," this could only be speaking of the elect.
My translation says : Even so it is that Christ, having been offered to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many once and once for all, will appear a second time, not to carry any burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to full salvation those who are eagerly, constantly, and patiently waiting for and expecting Him. (Amplified)
I would be interested to see which translation or part of "this verse" as you indicate, says "apart from sin"...
Thank you

Hi Arcturus,
That was strange I had cut and paste instead of Copy and paste that phrase, that why it was missing.
New King James Version
Heb 9:28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
It's also the Concordant Literal Version
Heb 9:28 thus Christ also, being offered once for the bearing of the sins of many, will be seen a second time, by those awaiting Him, apart from sin, for salvation, through faith."
Thanks for catching it, I'll go fix it :)
meercy, peace and love

Is this saying that the end of the world started when Christ died?
What are your thoughts on this?

Perhaps, i'm not entirely sure but i believe that when Christ came that it is possible it was the beginning of the end, of this age. As in it started or marked the beginning of the end of the age. It could be possible. Whats interesting is this;
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the FEAST OF TABERNACLES for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein. Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the EIGHT DAY shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by FIRE unto the LORD: it is a SOLEMN assembly; and you shall do no servile work therein" (Lev. 23:34-36).
Perhaps since the 7th day God rested, then the 8th is the day that is actualy when God becomes all and all. Since we are currently RESTING IN CHRIST;
Hebrews 4:3 "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world."
Now perhaps we are in the 7th day, i guess spiritualy speaking because we REST in CHRIST as GOD RESTED, and so it is the 'end of the age' and after that, on the 8th day is when God will bring the harvest and judgement upon all humanity.
I mean this is speculation offcourse, i could be WAY OFF, but i thought those were interesting connections. Perhaps someone can ask ray?
Well feel free to add, disagree/agree, whichever.
God bless,
Alex
