Text: Isaiah 53:9 "And he made
his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death [deaths,
from the Hebrew text]; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit
in his mouth.
TWO DEATHS
Philippians
2:8 "And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death [thanatos],
even [de<, but also] the death [thanatos] of the cross."
[qana>tou, qana>tou de< staurou~.] (the structure of the
last clause, I believe, emphasizes the opposition between the two deaths rather
than a conjunction defining the first death as that of the cross)
THE FINISHED WORK
John
4:34 "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do
the will of him (the Father) that sent me, and [can
be translated also] to finish his [the] work [singular]."
HE FINISHED THE WORK
John
19:28-30 "After this, Jesus knowing that all
things were now accomplished [finished], that the scripture might
be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29. Now there was set a vessel full of
vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop,
and put it to his mouth. 30. When Jesus therefore had received the
vinegar, he said, It is finished [accomplished]: and he bowed his
head, and gave up the ghost [breath]."
HE WAS DEAD
James
2:26 "For as the body without
the spirit [breath] is dead [nekrov] . . ."

that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures;"
CHRIST DIED FOR ALL
2
Corinthians 5:14 "For the love of Christ constraineth
us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all
dead:"
TWO DEATHS
Hebrews
2:9 "But we see Jesus, who was made a
little lower than the angels for the suffering of [the] death, (now)
crowned with glory and honour (this phrase
separates the two deaths); that he by the grace of God should taste (for
emphasis, no article the) death (on the cross) for every
man."
THE WILL OF THE FATHER

4:34 "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do
the will of him (the Father) that sent me.
. . ."

nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt."

the will of him (the Father) that sent me. . .
NOT ALL WITH HIM
Mark
14:33 "And he taketh with him Peter
and James and John, and began to be sore amazed [distressed], and
to be very heavy [troubled];"

and made intercession for the transgressors. (that they might
inherit, Heb 9:15)"

(of Abraham, little children), . . ."

wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your

THE DEATH REIGNED

to come."
CHILDREN ENTER THE KINGDOM

18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except
ye be converted (become servants), and become as little children, ye
shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
THE YOUNGER ARE SERVANTS
Luke

but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is
chief, as he that doth serve."
AS A LITTLE CHILD
Luke
9:48 "And said unto them, Whosoever shall
receive this child [little child) in my name receiveth me: and
whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least
among you all, the same shall be great."

a soul from death [thanatos], and shall hide a multitude of sins."
THROUGH THE DEATH
Hebrews 2:13-14 "And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I
and the children which God hath given me. 14. Forasmuch then as the
children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part
of the same; that through [the] death he might destroy [make
of non effect] him that had the power of [the] death,
that is, the devil;"

word, and believeth on him (the Father) that sent me, hath
[regards] everlasting [agelasting kingdom] life,
