Do you give leave to those that have lately built
them houses, and have not yet lived in them a
year s ?me; and to those that have planted
them vineyards, and have not yet been partakers
of their fruits, . . .as well as those also who have
betrothed, or lately married them wives, lest
they have such aﬀec?on for these things that
they be too sparing of their lives. . . . Josephus,
AnKquiKes, IV, 8, 41

The iden?fica?on of God s kingdom with the earthly
kingdom of Israel brought an Old Testament an?cipa?on
of the final judgment which is to overtake those who
remain outside the redemp?ve kingdom of Christ.  This
Old Testament judgment, however, could not be
executed universally.  For then the age of grace for the
na?ons would have been prematurely terminated, and
the covenant promise that Israel should be a blessing to
all the na?ons through the messianic seed of Abraham
(Gen. 12:3) would have been nullified.  Therefore, the
typology of final judgment was strictly applied only in
warfare against na?ons within the boundaries claimed
by Yahweh in his typical kingdom.
