Thanks for the insight, Geerhardus Vos has some good teaching.

And that's about as far as I've gotten in Vos' Biblical Theology as of yet. Easier reading than his Pauline Eschatology though.

I found his exposition of the Decalogue striking.

FWIY Meredith Kline has a different take on the first day assembly, regarding it as an "octave day" assembly, and provides examples of such from the Israelite festival cycle.

Both Israel's Sabbath and the church's ocavized first day lift up the eyes of God's people to the consummation of Har Magedon. The Sabbath points to the consummation as completion, as arrival at the eschatological goal of the original creation. The octave dominical day points to the consummation as commencement, as the launching into the realm of the new creation. Or better, it presages the unending continuance, the everlastingness, of the consummated cosmos. --God, Heaven and Har Magedon, Wipf & Stock, 2006, p. 198.

As with Vos the focus is eschatological.

Not sure how many of those saints are still active, alas. Maybe I'm following the wrong threads.

I'm not sure either, don't seem to get the same amount of ping notices as I use to and it doesn't seem to be that active looking at the posting in the religion section. Maybe I'm just blind or something, I don't think I was ever really in the buddy buddy with the group anyway. I'm not the quickest and brightest like most of those individuals in the group, well at least they appear to be pretty bright to me.

What do you think about the order of Salvation from the physical death of Christ to the Resurrection. Did Christ enter heaven inbetween his death and Resurrection or was he figuratively sleeping in the grave.
