Spiritual but Literally Temporal. Sullivan rightly says the New Heavens and Earth were spiritual, but then assumes that they were literal symbols that came in 70ad? What? Is this not what they accuse Futurists of doing. Making spiritual things physical. Does this mean that the kingdom is not just as much "at hand" now than it was then. Was the kingdom at hand then, and if it is no longer at hand, then what is it now?
Michael Sullivan "As I will argue later, the Christian today is residing in a heavenly Mnt. Zion that rests on a NC creation – the New Heavens and New Earth. Both spiritual Mnt. Zion and the New Heavens and New Earth are synonomous for the SPIRITUAL NC Kingdom of God that was LITERALLY “at hand” in the first century. "
