Later, however, six days before his transfiguration, Jesus made two significant statements:(1)To the apostle Peter, after he had confessed him as \saying, \my church; and %u2026 I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven\16:16-19).(2)Then to all his apostles, saying, \no wise taste death [but Judas Iscariot would, committing suicide], till they see the kingdom come with power\forty days after his resurrection and about ten days after his ascension (Acts 1:1-9 and Chapter 2), to be noticed more at length later. NOTE: (1) The \\ of heaven,\1:31-32; 22:29-30; 23:42; John 18:36-37; Colossians 1:13; 2 Peter 2:11 and Revelation 1:9), and is also called \11:15) %u2013with Christ sitting on \2:33; Romans 8:34; Colossians 3:1; Hebrews 10:12; 1 Peter 3:22 and Revelation 3:21).(3) Moreover, the terms \6:18 and 19), are also used interchangeably because the members of one are the citizens of the other on earth and in that sense are the same. Hence, in Colossians 1:13 the apostle Paul spoke of the \\ there (1:1, 24) as having been \Son of his love.\seven churcheswhich are in Asia\partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdomand patience which are in Jesus\d. In the passage first mentioned above, \Old Covenant between God and Israel (which was unto God \whom David was its most nearly ideal king, ruling over the covenant people of Godon earth for God, and leading them to victory over their enemies), of which covenant Moses was mediator and the prophets were among other things, interpreters of its law to the people. On the other hand, \other New Testament texts, represents the New Covenant, of which Christ is the mediator (Hebrews 8:6; 9:15; 12:24), and under which Heis king, ruling over the people of God for God, and conquering enemies, as his fleshly ancestor David did. His mothertobe was promised, \ shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the house of Jacob [Israel] for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end\prophecy of Isaiah 9:6-7).
