    ,

    In John 6, Jesus promises believers a resurrection on the “last day,” which is interpreted by Dispensationalists as a broader eschatological period, complicating the idea of a singular resurrection event. This contrasts with a simpler understanding that sees the “last day” as a unified culmination of history for all believers, emphasizing God’s singular redemptive plan.

Believers are urged to prioritize the gospel, pursue holiness, and trust in God’s sovereignty instead of indulging in predictions about the future.
