If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it?

Paul said the Revelation of Jesus Christ (written by John) would also confirm us unto the end.

 

Simply put, Paul says to seek the gifts until the Revelation of Jesus Christ who will also confirm us until the end (Day of the Lord). So it isn't the Day of the Lord he speaks of. And John wrote the Revelation of Jesus Christ about the time the gifts drop out of sight.

 

According to Paul and history.

 

No, it is speaking about the Revelation that will also confirm us unto the Coming of Jesus on the last day.

 

"who will also confirm you unto the end" is really important if you consider it. Plus, only the apostles could distribute the gifts through their hands besides the two outpourings. So today's gifts are nothing more than "Pentecostal knockoffs". Like a $3.00 Rolex..........

 

"coming" = apocalypse = Revelation.

 

Look at the Greek............ it's all there.

 

If tongues were to cease at the end of the world, why would Paul need to mention it? If they were to cease anyway? With everything else?

Paul said; “so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye be unreproveable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 1:7)

Notice the Revelation would also confirm them to the end. So they would not seek the gifts until the end. But only until the Revelation of Christ.

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John;” (Revelation 1:1)

So he was saying the gifts would expire with the Revelation of Jesus Christ that we now know was written by John in either 60 or 90 AD.

All of the gifts expired, and history confirms this, as John published Revelation.

used for Revelation of Jesus Christ by Paul and John


Notice Paul uses a different word for the second coming of Christ;


“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Coming = παρουσία, Parousia = 15.86 παρέρχομαιb; παραγίνομαιa; πάρειμιb; παρουσίαb, ας f; παρίσταμαιe (and 2nd aorist active): to come to be present at a particular place—‘to come, to arrive, to come to be present.’

παρέρχομαιb: παρελθὼν διακονήσει αὐτοῖς ‘when he arrives, he will serve them’ Lk 12:37.[1]

No, the Revelation is the apocalypse. The second coming is the Parousia.
