“While Christ clearly offered a present form of the kingdom which believers can enter now by new birth, He also reaffirmed the hope of the Jews that there would be a future kingdom in which the Son of David will reign over the house of Israel.” (Page 306)
“Wine today has a much higher level of alcohol than wine in the New Testament. In fact in New Testament times one would need to drink twenty-two glasses of wine in order to consume the large amount of alcohol in two martinis today.” (Page 51)
“Sometimes in the ancient world one part water would be mixed with one part wine; this was considered strong wine.” (Page 50)
“These chapters contain prophecies of comfort for Israel written by Isaiah from the perspective of the Exile and the return. Isaiah 40–66 emphasizes the deliverance (chaps. 40–48), the Deliverer (chaps. 49–55 [or 57]), and the delivered (chaps. 56 [or 58]–66), dealing respectively with the purpose of peace (the comfort), the Prince of Peace (the Cross), and the program of peace (the crown).” (Page 13)
“Many wine-drinking Christians today mistakenly assume that what the New Testament meant by wine is identical to wine used today. This, however, is false. In fact today’s wine is by biblical definitions ‘strong drink,’ and hence is forbidden in the Bible! What the Bible frequently meant by wine was basically purified water.” (Page 50)
