YLT 1 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye have stood,

From G2095 and G32; to announce good news (“evangelize”) especially the gospel

Thayer:

1) to bring good news, to announce glad tidings
1a) used in the OT of any kind of good news
1a1) of the joyful tidings of God’s kindness, in particular, of the Messianic blessings
1b) in the NT used especially of the glad tidings of the coming kingdom of God, and of the salvation to be obtained in it through Christ, and of what relates to this salvation
1c) glad tidings are brought to one, one has glad tidings proclaimed to him
1d) to proclaim glad tidings
1d1) instruct (men) concerning the things that pertain to Christian salvation

2 through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

through which you (plural) are presently and actively being saved unless you are just outwardly imitating those who are real, without the true cause or purpose.

 3 for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings,

We have this record from Paul himself that he received the gospel; the gospel that aligned with what Paul already knew. Paul was a Hebrew from the tribe of Benjamin. The Hebrews were the people who received God’s Word. But Paul especially studied and knew the Word. Some time between Jesus’ ministry and the stoning of Stephen, Paul became anti-christian. There was no such thing in Jerusalem as an antichrist until after Christ started His 3.5 year preaching ministry. Jesus was the Word who appeared in Jewish flesh and blood. He was the perfect imager in humanity. Paul was among many who turned against Jesus and His followers. He was antichrist until he met Christ. Anti-messiah turned anti-human by it’s resultant behavior. Fully embodied humanity was persecuted by a lesser embodiment of humanity. Jesus’ humanity is the image of God’s law fully fleshed out. The true humanity in God’s sight included Gentiles who were given the conscience of humanity via the diaspora. The old covenant of types was on it’s last legs. A small portion of a tribe or two or three were living in a Jerusalem that was Roman ruled. The old covenant vestige was making way for the new.

2 Corinthians 4:2-4

CLV 2 But we spurn the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor yet adulterating the word of God, but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man’s [Human’s] conscience in God’s sight.” 3 Now, if our evangel is covered, also, it is covered in those who are perishing [being destroyed], 4 in whom the god of this eon blinds the apprehensions of the unbelieving so that the illumination of the evangel of the glory of Christ, Who is the Image of the invisible God, does not irradiate them.”

We have no record of Jewish Jesus telling Benjamite Paul the gospel. Or do we? Paul already knew all the scriptures that attested to Jesus as the Christ and He knew that Jesus recently died and was buried. Jesus introduces Himself to Paul. Isn’t that the gospel? The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus was made known to Paul. The resurrection was by made known to Paul by the living Jesus Himself. That introduction knocks Paul to the ground and blinds him with the illumination of the messiah. The record we get of Paul’s conversion from Acts 9 & 22 is of the living Jesus Himself asking Paul, “Why are you persecuting Me?” Jesus regarded the Jews in the church that Paul was persecuting as His own body. Paul underwent a baptism of fasting and darkness for a period of three days before he came out of the dark and was baptized in water. Jesus was baptized in water first, before choosing to suffer a second baptism of fasting and darkness on the cross. Jesus reversed the curse on the land and on Paul with His second baptism.

Jesus Himself called His crucifixion a baptism. Jesus’ second baptism was for His people. He was baptized for “the dead ones”. He was in darkness for three hours on the cross, after which He was in Hades until the 3rd day. Baptism is a picture of a new body coming out of the flood water of death and into a renewed land. The corrupt body of Noah’s day was saved by water baptism. Only 8 humans came out of the water of death to save the body of humanity from complete destruction.

Jesus saved the corrupt body of Jews from destruction by His baptism on the cross before the Roman army came in like a flood and destroyed the old land. In reverse order of the typical destruction of Noah’s day, the land was formed first. Jesus came out of His baptism on the cross to a third day new covenant creation. The Jews who believed joined the new creation body on Pentecost. Only 8 humans were saved from the destruction by the typical flood baptism. 8 symbolizes a new creation no longer in the flesh, as in 8th day circumcision, 8th sabbath of Pentecost and 8th day of Tabernacles.

Paul “I am of the tribe of Benjamin.” (Romans 11:1). Paul fulfills Jacob’s prophecy of devouring the prey by participating in the murder of Christians (or by devouring his enemies with the gospel). (Acts 7:58-59), Jesus is the new human soul who introduces Himself as the true human and Paul as the old covenant wolf in sheep’s clothing. Like Benjamin, Paul was the last born of the 12 apostles and a chosen son who suffered and wrote the most.

New covenant Jacob reverses old covenant Jacob’s curses. He writes to the believers among the 12 tribes. Jacob is Jesus’ half brother by the same old covenant mother and Jesus’ full brother as Holy Spirit begotten brother. There can’t be two souls for the 12 tribes. They had to lose their old covenant soul to be on grounds to receive anything from God. The new soul of humanity was here to stay and the old soul was being destroyed. You can’t be two-souled and be blessed.

James 1:1-8 – Jacob blesses the 12 tribes in the new covenant and curses the old soul

YLT 1 James [Jacob], of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail! 2 All joy count it, my brethren, when ye may fall into temptations manifold; 3 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance, 4 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire—in nothing lacking; 5 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him; 6 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and tossed, 7 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything from the Lord— 8 a two-souled man is unstable in all his ways.

1 Peter 3:20-21

CLV 20 He heralds to those once stubborn, when the patience of God awaited in the days of Noah while the ark was being constructed, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were brought safely through water, 21 the representation of which, baptism, is now saving you also (not the putting off of the filth of the flesh, but the inquiry of a good conscience to God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

John 3:16

ECB 16 For Elohim loved the cosmos thus: that he gave his only birthed Son; that whoever trusts in him destructs not but has eternal life [life to the age or eonian life].

Jesus’ baptism gave the new covenant body of Jews a good conscience because Jesus is the new head of the body. Adam’s eye opener caused him to take cover and got him kicked out. Jesus put the old covenant man to death progressively: from His death as eschatos Adam on the cross to the 2nd death of the nation. Jesus came up from Hades as the new covenant firstborn. The 3rd day represents the creation of land in Genesis chapter 1. The second third day is when humanity was created to fill it and rule it. Even Jonah comes up out of the water to the land he preached to on the 3rd day.

On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He proclaimed: “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned.” 5. The Ninevites believed God. Jesus taught in Jerusalem for 40 days after His resurrection. On Pentecost 3000 believed. 40 years from the start of His ministry in Jerusalem the new creation body was completely formed. In AD 70 the old covenant body was destroyed. 40 weeks is a full term human body. 40 years in the wilderness typically created a new-generation body out of the unbelieving generation.

Jesus sent out 70 people from Jerusalem. 70 represents a decentralized humanity that went out from Pentecost via the diaspora. Pentecost was the reversal of the confusion of languages and of the 3000 that died in the wilderness. Pentecost was the blessing on humanity and the nations rather then the cursing. Jesus also provided the 70 years Adam was missing to fulfill His/his millennium. The millennium was the fulfillment Jubilee. The typical land was finally put to rest in AD 70. Jesus’ fulfillment was AD 66. Then the land destruction commenced.

The fall of the city marked the effective conclusion of a 3.5-year Roman campaign against the Jewish insurgency in Judaea. We don’t have to reach 1000 years of nationhood or personhood any more. Jesus took both Adam and Israel to the age of 1000 alive, in Him. The old covenant of types started with the typical man named Adam. Jesus came to take His place. Adam was the firstborn imager of the human creation but Jesus took his place and became the firstborn imager of every creature; Jew and Gentile alike.

Adam was only a type of the humanity which was fulfilled in Christ. But Jesus wasn’t firstborn of His creation until His resurrection. He was never the firstborn of His old covenant creation in the flesh. Jesus wasn’t even born into His old covenant until His mother Mary gave birth to Him. But He wasn’t the firstborn Son of God until He was born again into the new creation humanity. Jesus was the only begotten by the Spirit Son in the old covenant. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and grew as a flesh body in the womb of Mary. But Adam was still the firstborn of that humanity.

Adam was not firstborn of the other creations. The animals were made first and then Adam was born into the human creation. Adam was typically born again if he was taken from the population of people known by the Jews as animals. Jesus was anti-typically born again into a new creation. He was murdered by way of Jewish animal behavior and then the Jews who were born again joined Him in His death and resurrection. Then the humanized people from all the nations (animals) who were born again joined Him too, hence Jesus became firstborn of every creation in the new cosmos order, because the order of the new creation was reversed. The humans came into the creation first and then the animals. Jesus was the first human in the new creation human body. He is the head of humanity known as the body of Christ or the church.

Acts 9

YLT 1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest, 2 did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven, 4 and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?’ 5 And he said, `Who art thou, Lord?’ and the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;’ 6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?’ and the Lord said unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.’ 7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one, 8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus, 9 and he was three days without seeing, and he did neither eat nor drink. 10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;’ and he said, `Behold me, Lord;’ 11 and the Lord saith unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, one by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray, 12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.’ 13 And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem, 14 and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.’ 15 And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings—the sons also of Israel; 16 for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.’ 17 And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him his hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me—Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming—that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.’ 18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized, 19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days, 20 and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God. 21 And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?’ 22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ. 23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,

Acts 22:1-23

CLV 1 Men! Brethren and fathers! Hear my defense to you now! 2 Now hearing that he shouted to them in the Hebrew vernacular, they tendered more quietness, and he is averring, 3 I am a man, a Jew [Paul was actually from the tribe of Benjamin. Generically all of God’s people were being called Jews even if they weren’t from the tribe of Judah.], born in Tarsus of Cilicia, yet reared in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, trained according to the strictness of the hereditary law, being inherently zealous for God according as all of you are today, 4 I, who persecute this way to death, binding and giving over both men and women to jail, 5 as the chief priest also was testifying to me, and the entire eldership, from whom, receiving letters also to the brethren, I went into Damascus, to be leading also those being there, bound, to Jerusalem, that they may be punished.” 6 Now it occurred, at my going and drawing near to Damascus, about midday, suddenly out of heaven a considerable light flashes about me.” 7 Besides, I fall flat, and I hear a voice saying to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting Me?'” 8 Yet I answered and said, ‘Who art Thou, Lord?’ Besides, He said to me, ‘I am Jesus, the Nazarene, Whom you are persecuting.'” 9 Now those who are with me gaze, indeed, at the light, yet they hear not the voice of Him Who is speaking to me.” 10 Now I said, ‘What shall I be doing, Lord?’ Now the Lord said to me, ‘Rise. Go into Damascus, and there you will be spoken to concerning all which has been set for you to do.'” 11 Now, as I observed nothing for the glory of that light, being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came into Damascus.” 12 Now a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, being attested by all the Jews dwelling there, 13 coming to me and standing by, said to me, ‘Saul! Brother! Receive your sight!’ And I, in the same hour, look up to him.” 14 Now he said. ‘The God of our fathers fixes upon you beforehand to know His will, and to be acquainted with the Just One, and to hear the voice of His mouth, 15 that you shall be His witness to all men of what you have seen and hear. 16 And now, why do you defer? Rise, be baptized, and bathe off your sins, invoking His name.'” 17 Now it occurred, at my returning to Jerusalem and while I am praying in the sanctuary, I come to be in an ecstasy” 18 and to perceive Him saying to me, ‘Hurry, and come quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not be assenting to your testimony concerning Me.'” 19 And I said, ‘Lord, they are versed in the fact that I was jailing and lashing those at the synagogues who are believing on Thee.” 20 And when the blood of Stephen, Thy witness, was shed, I myself also was standing by, endorsing it, as well as guarding the garments of those who are assassinating him.‘” 21 And He said to me, ‘Go! For I shall be delegating you afar to the nations.'” 22 Now they heard him until this word, and they lift up their voice, saying, “Away from the earth with such a one, for it is not befitting for him to live!” 23 Besides, at their clamoring, and tossing their garments, and casting dust into the air,

1 Corinthians 15

 4 and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third day, according to the Writings,

Biological death was not the end of existence for God’s people. David said he would go to the place of his newborn baby who had just died. Hades was the place that Jesus was not to be left in according to King David. Jesus preached after His physical and spiritual death to the disobedient souls who had died in the flood. They were still existing somewhere. Jesus refers to the death of Lazarus as “sleep”, meaning it was not a permanent death. Sleep was not an annihilation of his spirit. Jesus’ spiritual death was not the death of His spirit. It was the death of His relationship with the Holy Spirit and with His Father for the 3 hours of darkness on the cross. He was consenting to the Father’s will just hours earlier in the moonlight of His garden communion. At high noon the land went dark for three hours as Jesus suffered in His spiritual isolation as reflected by the total cosmic darkness he experienced.

The 3rd day is an oft repeated motif in the “writings”. Jesus Himself referred to Jonah’s 3rd day resurrection as one of them. Some believe Jonah actually died and went to the place of the dead like Lazarus. Either way it was a proleptic and prophetic type of what was still to come. Jonah would still die of old age or something else and go to Hades not to heaven. Jesus opened the gates of Hades by His resurrection and then ascended to heaven 40 days later. Heaven opened for Holy Spirit filled Stephen. Stephen didn’t see Hades in his death..

Isaiah prophecies that Jesus would die with the wicked (a thief on each side) and be buried in a rich man’s grave (Joseph’s tomb). Martha (from her proper interpretation of scripture I assume) believed that Lazarus would be resurrected from the dead in the last day resurrection. Jesus claimed to be that resurrection. In fact the Jews joined Him in His resurrection by the same Holy Spirit who resurrected Him.

They joined the living body of Christ on Pentecost, which was 50 days after He was resurrected. They became Spirit born brothers. The Greek word for “brethren” is “αδελφος” pronounced “adelphos”. The two words that make up adelphos mean “joined to the womb” and “adephae” is sister. The same Holy Spirit that conceived Jesus’ old covenant body in the womb of Mary re-birthed Him into the spirit realm (heavenly) body of the church. The new covenant is better because anyone can be born again by the same Holy Spirit and thus join the people of God.

John 11:24-25

CLV 24 Martha is saying to Him, “I am aware that he will be rising in the resurrection in the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the Resurrection and the Life. He who is believing in Me, even if he should be dying, shall be living.”

Lazarus needed more than a temporary biological resurrection. He needed the spiritual life to the age that Adam lost. Humanity was not allowed to live to the age of 1000 until Jesus took Adam’s place.

 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, 6 afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain also did fall asleep; 7 afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 And last of all—as to the untimely birth—he appeared also to me, 

Jesus seems to have appeared to believers only, save Saul.

9 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, 10 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that is towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that is with me; 11 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did believe. 12 And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again of dead persons? 13 and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither hath Christ risen; 14 and if Christ hath not risen, then void is our preaching, and void also your faith, 15 and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did not raise if then dead persons do not rise; 16 for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ risen, 17 and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins; 18 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did perish; 19 if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we are most to be pitied.
20 And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead—the first-fruits of those sleeping he became, 21 for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead, 22 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all shall be made alive, 23 and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ, afterwards those who are the Christ’s, in his presence, 24 then—the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority and power— 25 for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet— 26 the last enemy is done away—death; 27 for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him, 28 and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all. 29 Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for the dead? 30 why also do we stand in peril every hour? 31 Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord: 32 if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die! 33 Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good manners; 34 awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an ignorance of God; for shame to you I say it .
35 But some one will say, `How do the dead rise? 36 unwise! thou—what thou dost sow is not quickened except it may die; 37 and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some one of the others, 38 and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and to each of the seeds its proper body. 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and another of birds; 40 and there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but one is the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the earthly; 41 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory. 42 So also is the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; 43 it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body; 45 so also it hath been written, `The first man Adam became a living creature,’ the last Adam is for a life-giving spirit, 46 but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is out of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord out of heaven; 48 as is the earthy, such are also the earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are also the heavenly; 49 and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly. 50 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit the incorruption;
51 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep, and we all shall be changed; 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we—we shall be changed: 53 for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality; 54 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption, and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was swallowed up—to victory; 55 where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?’ 56 and the sting of the death is the sin, and the power of the sin the law; 57 and to God—thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;
58 so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast, unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times, knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord.

The wrath of God came upon the so called law keepers because the law works wrath. The fruit of the Holy Spirit fulfills the true intention of the law. God’s wrath was spent on the stubborn unbelievers who insisted on professing to keep the law of types rather than the fulfillment of the law in Christ and in the Spirit He sent to them on Pentecost.

LITV 28 And coming up, one of the scribes, hearing them arguing, knowing that He answered them well, he questioned Him, What is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is : “Hear, Israel. The Lord our God is one Lord, 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul” and with all your mind, “and with all your strength.” This is the first commandment. Deut. 6:4, 5 31 And the second is like this, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” There is not another commandment greater than these. Lev. 19:18 32 And the scribe said to Him, You say well, Teacher. You have spoken according to truth, “that God is one,” Deut. 6:4, 5 and “there is no other besides Him;” Deut. 4:35 33 “and to love Him from all the heart”, and from all the understanding, “and from all the soul, and from all the strength;” Deut. 6:4, 5 and “to love one’s neighbor as oneself” Lev. 19:18 is more than all the burnt offerings and the sacrifices. 34 And seeing that he answered intelligently, Jesus said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. And no one dared to question Him any more.
