Romans 7 and Dying to the Law
Did the Law of Moses die in 30AD? Was all prophecy fulfilled at that time? Is it impossible for two laws to co-exist? Was there a lawful way to be free from the Law? What does Paul mean when he says, for I through the law am dead to the law? How could he be dead through that which no longer existed. His conversion was years after Pentecost, at which time the Law is asserted to be dead.
So, why would Paul (who excelled in Judaism beyond many of his contemporaries, Gal. ...
Heaven and Earth Will Pass Away|Hebrews 1:10-12

When Would the Heaven and Earth Pass Away?
It is argued by many that the heavens and earth of Hebrews 1:10-12, which speaks of perishing and changing like a garment refer to the natural heaven and earth.

Christ Shall Appear A Second Time Hebrews 9:28
So many who believe that the Bible teaches a yet future coming of Christ cite the, Christ shall appear a second time Hebrews 9:28 coming apart from sin for salvation. The problems with applying this text as yet future today, ignore some very basic contextually limiting indicators.
First, there is the "present time". Secondly, the eschatological Spirit, third, the then current tabernacle and its related work, fourth, the new heavenly tabernacle related to that coming, fifth the little while time frame for the new tabernacle and sixth, the immediate context.
