North: No 'hell', 'final judgment', etc. in OT?
Elsewhere he mentions Job and Daniel as having same. I need deep, nuanced replies, please. P. 132 of Proverbs commentary. https://www.garynorth.com/Proverbs-2021.pdf DEFENSIVE WALLS Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. Proverbs 11:4 A. The Day When Everything Changes There is no concept of the final judgment in the Old Testament. The doctrines of the final judgment, hell, heaven, the lake of fire, and the post-resurrection new heaven and new earth are all exclusively New Testament doctrines.1 So, this proverb refers to history. This is not to say that these dual principles do not apply also to eternity. They do. But that is not its focus here. If we are to understand how it applies to us, we must first understand how it was believed to apply under the Mosaic covenant Thanks! Chuck |
