ATHANASIAN
American: deathlessness, immortality
This is the goal of all who put their faith into Jesus the Christos [Anointed One, Mashiyach, Messiah, Christ] as their only door to everlasting life.
Almost Greek: (Words in italics are translator’s additions)
1st Corinthians 15.50: I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood isn’t able to inherit the Kingdom of Theos nor is decay able to inherit imperishability. LO! I tell you a musterion [mystery, secret]. Indeed, we shan’t all be put to sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment (in a jerk of the eye) in the final reverberation. For it will trumpet and the dead will be awakened imperishable, and we shall be changed for this decaying body must be clothed with imperishability and this mortal body must be clothed with athanasian. When this decayed shall be clothed with imperishability and this mortal be clothed with athanasian, then will occur the logos written, “Death was swallowed into victory. Where is your sting, O Death? Where, O Haides [Unseen, subterranean world of the dead, Hades], is your victory?”
HOSEA 13.14: [YHWH speaking] “From Sheol’s hand I will ransom them. From Death, I will redeem them. Where are your plagues, O Death? Where are your exterminations, O Sheol [Haides]?”
End of Seventieth Lesson
