Introduction to dating the Book of Revelation addresses the time and introductory message of the apocalypse. One of the basics to understand this prophetic book is to detemine the dating.

Death Is Swallowed Up In Victory 1 Cor. 15:54
It is assumed that death in 1 Corinthians 15 is about bodies. Mostly what creates this intepretive mindset is the lack of understanding and context of the Old Testament. Since 1 Corinthians 15:54 is quoting "what is written", it has an O.T. background and contex that must not be ignored.
Isaiah chapter 25:6-9, is part of the "Little Apocalypse" of Isaiah which includes chapters 24-27:1-13. These chapters give a very compact discussion of the eschatological events. The swallowing up of death in Isaiah 25:8 is a part of that context. It is connected ...
