Now comes the marvelous metamorphosis. This marks the conclusion of the age and the beginning of the post-Messianic period. The power of death is stripped away, death is metaphorically destroyed, for the Christian. Now, the prophecy and its explanation have concluded. For us today, the Enemy ought to be powerless.
Death ought to be powerless.
The grave ought to be powerless. For we can do all things with God, and our own deaths are but the beginning of a spiritual eternal life with God. Indeed, our everlasting life has already begun. Let us praise God, for he has kept his word and fulfilled his promises to us.
