“The Lord warned his followers against impostors who borrowed this dress when he said: ‘Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing’ (Matt. 7:15).” (Page 463)

“God will rescue his people from Sheol. The OT makes little distinction between the lot of the godly and the ungodly in this realm.” (Page 472)

“The occurrence of the title Son of Man as used by Christ of himself points up certain important characteristics of his divine-human being and nature. (1) Son of Man signifies Christ’s messiahship. Jesus consistently avoided the use of the term Messiah because of the militaristic and political connotations which it had for the Jewish people of his time.” (Pages 580–581)

“The first explicit mention of the body known as the Sanhedrin in historical sources is found in Josephus, who in his account of a decree of Antiochus III (223–187 B.C.) refers to the gerousia or ‘senate’ of the Jews (Ant. 12.3.3 §§138ff.). This ‘senate’ was composed of priests and elders under the direction of the high priest, being constituted as an organized body concerned not merely with judicial matters, but having the broader responsibility of acting as the governing body for the whole of Palestine.” (Page 321)

“The aeon of revolt against God is to be replaced by the aeon of salvation and fulfillment.” (Page 1122)
