Hi all...
Newseed: our understanding of the verse is as follows..
the day I was born : some time in 4BC
the day I die : right before judgment day when all creatures die, thats when Jesus too will die.
the day i will raised up : during Judgment day.. when all creatures will be judged for their deeds etc...
Our understanding is Jesus didnt die. and that he was taken up to God as is.... and will be back for the second comming 40 or so years before JD... rule for those 40 or so years and then die... and then be raised up along with all other creatures for judgment...
Hope that helps.
Karaite: i guess so...
