Treasures in Heaven

Treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven. Matthew 6:20

Matthew 19:21 (YLT)
Jesus said to him, `If thou dost will to be perfect, go away, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.'

Matthew 13:38

Strongs G5207 υἱός a son, descendent.

Can be used as a metaphor, as belonging to, being connected with or having the quality of that which follows. Verse 30 suffer both to grow together till the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the darnel [ that belonging to or sown by the enemy ], and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat [ that belonging to or sown by God ] gather up into my storehouse.'

1 Corinthians 3:13-15 YLT(i) 13 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall declare it, because in fire it is revealed, and the work of each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; 14 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on it, a wage he shall receive [ treasures in heaven ]; 15 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss [ of all that belonging to or sown by the enemy ]; and himself shall be saved, but so as through fire.

Matthew 3:12 (YLT) whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.'

2 Corinthians 3:3 YLT(i) 3 manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God, not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart,

Maximus the Confessor, 580 - 662 AD:

"When our intellect has shaken off its many opinions about created things, then the inner principle of truth appears clearly to it, providing it with a foundation of real knowledge and removing its former preconceptions as though removing scales from eyes, as happened in the case of St. Paul (cf. Acts 9:18). For an understanding of Scripture that does not go beyond the literal meaning, and a view of the sensible world that relies exclusively on sense perception, are indeed scales, blinding the soul's visionary faculty and preventing access to the pure Logos of truth."

"We must not only put bodily passions to death but also destroy the soul's impassioned thoughts. Hence the Psalmist says, 'Early in the morning I destroyed all the wicked of the earth, that I might cut off all evil-doers from the city of the Lord' (Ps. 101:8) - that is, the passions of the body and the soul's godless thoughts."

Between the simile of the darnel of the field and its explanation, we read in verse 33: Another simile spake he to them: 'The reign of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.'

Matthew 22:31-32

YLT(i) 31 `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.' 

The resurrection of the dead is accomplished in expectation; only the manifestation remains to be seen.

Hebrews 2:8

YLT(i) 8 all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things subjected to him,

This speaks of God subjecting all to Christ, as 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 elaborates. It is accomplished in expectation; only the manifestation remains to be seen.

God is Savior of all mankind, reconciling all. 1 Timothy 4:10; Colossians 1:20.

The salvation of all is accomplished in expectation; only the manifestation remains to be seen.

So we have as steadfast promises that God will resurrect, subject, and save all mankind.

Revelation 2:26 YLT(i) 26 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end my works, I will give to him authority over the nations, 'Then the completion/shalom when he delivers the sovereigndom to Elohim - even the Father; when he inactivates all hierarchies and all authority and dynamis.'

1 Corinthians 15:24, ECB

The authority is a stage, a time known as "the eons of the eons". That's when believers will rule over the nations; during the coming ages.

Ephesians 2:7-10 YLT(i) 7 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, 8 for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and this not of you—of God the gift, 9 not of works, that no one may boast; 10 for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may walk.

So those who receive salvation in this life receive it as a gift, and not of themselves. When Christ returns, they receive immortality and reign with Him over the nations for the two oncoming ages or eons, mentioned especially in Revelation 20-22.

Daniel 12:1-3 seems to describe the same basic concept amongst believing Israelites from before Christ's death. They too will play a part in completing God's plan.

And at that time stand up doth Michael, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of thy people [Israel], and there hath been a time of distress, such as hath not been since there hath been a nation till that time, and at that time do thy people escape, every one who is found written in the book. And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches—to abhorrence age-during. And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

Presumably, those awakening from death to abhorrence age-during are the nations over whom the saints will rule. The ministry of the saints will be influential in the justification of the remaining third division or measure. Matthew 13:33. Notice that those teaching will enjoy immortality; they form part of those who are in Christ, and will rule with Him, because they accepted the faith granted them in God's grace before the Ransom for all was sacrificed.

So, back to 1 Corinthians 15:

https://studybible.info/YLT/1%20Corinthians%2015:20-28

[my notes added]

YLT(i) 20 And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead—the first-fruits of those sleeping [the dead] he became, 21 for since through man is the death, also through man is a rising again of the dead, 22 for even as in Adam all die [or 'are dying', that is, mortal], so also [in like manner] in the Christ all shall be made alive [immortal; not dying], 23 and each in his proper order [class, division], a first-fruit Christ [Division 1], afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence [parousia; the Second Coming, Division 2], 24 then—the end [telos, the consummation of vivification; Division 3 are vivified after undergoing judgments], when he may deliver up the reign to God, even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and all authority [the reign of the saints ends] and power— 25 for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the enemies under his feet— 26 the last enemy is done away—death; 27 for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, it is evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him, 28 and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to him the all things, that God may be the all in all.

[Once death is cast into the lake of fire, the second death remains as the last enemy. Revelation 2:11; 20:14. It is abolished thus:

'the last enemy is done away—death; for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected...that God may be the all in all.' When all are subjected, God becomes All in all, because reconciliation through Christ is universal. Colossians 1:20.]

'Then the completion/shalom' is when there are no tears or pain. There's no sin or death. That's when God's emphatic promise is finally fulfilled.

Lo, new I make all things

Write, because these words are true and stedfast

Revelation 21:4,5

Once God is All in all, 'Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations' Psalms 22:27.

The consummation of vivification corresponds with the rescue of all those ransomed. 1 Timothy 2:6; 2 Cor. 5:15.

The consummation represents the annulling of the works of the Adversary and the manifestation of God as Savior of all mankind. 1 Timothy 4:9-11.

God's completed family includes all. Psalms 86.

That's the goal and fulfilment of Acts 3:21.
