Christ is not bound by time . . but the sin and the world is. We who are in Christ are freed from the chains of the flesh and the limits of time when we are in Christ and receive our eternal reward.
Thank You Reg. My understanding of the "Last Day" is that it is the finish line of the race well run mentioned by Paul (1 Corinthians 9). Like you said . . the end of the endurance period. For some, they will be alive when Christ returns, and the "Last Day" will refer to the last day of the power of sin on earth. We all do not know the day of our own personal end so . . the Last Day . . also refers to our date of our physical death. This understanding also helps me understand what happens at death. We fall asleep, and the next thing we can comprehend is being present at the Second Coming. Another reason why we are not to fear physical death . . because we die and immediately wake up (in our own comprehension) and receive our just reward.
