why not?
Because it required not the son of two earthly parents, but one who is the Son of Man & the Son of God. A son who as Isaiah 11:3 could quickly discern the Spirit and one whom God could make strong for His purpose.
The judgment didn't just 'represent' our sin, the judgment for our sin that He took upon Himself was the actual judgment of our sin. What is your idea of what is representing who, how, and why? You've already lost me pages ago and I'm having a time keeping up with your train of thought.
Consider how the first Adam, and subsequently the rest of us, sullied the image of God that we were created in, and the second Adam restored the image of man to glory. How can any ordinary man put glory back into anything if he never had it in the first place?
Did you say that in your best Mel Gibson impression? Was your hand raised in the air?
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness
of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Hi Lifted....,
Yes, as you said and also they will be witnesses to the Lord in the trib.
Moses and Elijah.
Then Christ declares that He will give power to 2 men who will witness of Him to Israel and to the world of His coming kingdom rule through Israel. Their time is 1260 days.
`I will give power to My two witnesses,
and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days,
clothed in sackcloth.
These are the 2 olive trees and the 2 lampstands
standing before the God of the earth.`
(Rev. 11: 3 & 4)
These 2 men, Christ`s Witnesses, are represented by olive trees and lampstands. (Zech. 4: 6) They are Moses and Elijah. They witnessed Christ`s transfiguration where He told them of His soon departure from the earth. They were also at the tomb and witnessed Christ`s resurrection, and later ascension into glory. (Luke 9: 30. 24: 4, Acts 1: 10)
Thus, we see these same 2 men now appearing to Israel during the second half of the tribulation witnessing of Christ, not only as their soon coming King but also as their High Priest, the one who gave His life for them, and arose victorious over sin and death.

What do you believe your Bible says as regards "heaven and hell going"?
