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?

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.

How you say that you say the Church is not destined to heaven when they are here illustrated to BE IN HEAVEN?
