Re: The Early Christians: Creed, Confession and Scripture

The blessing [Gen. 27:27-29] undoubtedly refers to the times of the 
Kingdom, when the just shall rise from the dead and reign, when also 
creation, made new and set free, shall produce an abundance of all kinds
of 
food from the dew of heaven and the fertility of the earth [Gen. 27]. So 
this is what the elders who had seen John, the Lord’s disciple, remembered

hearing from him concerning the things the Lord had taught about those 
times.
