I guess this means that the physical death of Jesus on the cross and the resurrection of Christ was never a part of the eschatological expectation either. WOW! Or Paul waiting for the Lord's appearing at his own death when he finished the race and would receive his crown. Obviously, if physical death had nothing to do with Paul's finish line, then why did he not already have the crown he was hoping for.
