1. I made my opening statements on the "time" of the occurrence of the resurrection. I cited the framework for the eschatological work of the Holy Spirit, Mic 7:15 which is 40 years, as the days of Israel coming out of Egypt. Next, Deut. 31:29; 32:5, 20 focused on the "terminal generation" of Israel in their last days, which is the generation living in the time of Christ, and which he and the apostles referred to as the "wicked and adulterous generation", the "perverse and crooked" generation.
