[Luke 24:44 KJV] "And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me." [Luke 24:45 KJV] "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures," [Luke 24:46 KJV] "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:"
Jesus opened the understanding of the scriptures to the disciples, but would not have told the disciples of the salvation his death and resurrection accomplished because it was a hidden mystery. It was hid from the disciples and they didn't understand his death and resurrection...........[Luke 9:44 KJV] "Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men." [Luke 9:45 KJV] "But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying."..........Paul received the mystery gospel that Christ died for our sins and rose for our justification..........[Ephesians 6:19 KJV] "And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,".........this was not revealed to the twelve disciples.

[Luke 24:44 KJV] "And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me." [Luke 24:45 KJV] "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures," [Luke 24:46 KJV] "And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:" [Luke 24:47 KJV] "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
Jesus opened the disciples understanding of scripture. Jesus told them it is written that Jesus would suffer and rise the third day. Then did he say, now go and preach how I died and rose for the salvation of all? What did Jesus say to preach? He said to preach that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in HIS NAME. For salvation Israel had to believe in his name. They had to believe he was their Messiah, the Son of God.......[John 20:31 KJV] "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."
Even after Jesus opened the understanding of his disciples, did Peter preach his death and resurrection for salvation? No, Peter preached to be water baptized in his name for the remission of sins.......[Acts 2:38 KJV] "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."..........Peter preached the name of Jesus for salvation.........[Acts 4:12 KJV] "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.".............Peter preached remission of sins through his name........... [Acts 10:43 KJV] "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
Peter didn't preach Christ's death and resurrection for salvation to all after Jesus opened his understanding of scripture. Peter condemned Israel for Christ's death...........[Acts 2:23 KJV] "Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:"...........Peter didn't preach Christ's resurrection for our justification, but that Jesus rose to sit on David's throne.........[Acts 2:30 KJV] "Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;"

[Acts 2:46 KJV] "And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart," [Acts 2:47 KJV] "Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.".........Pentecost didn't form a new church, it added to the existing church which was the little flock Jerusalem church. This church worshiped in the temple. We don't find the body of Christ worshiping in the temple. The body of Christ met in houses.

[1 Corinthians 15:3 KJV] "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;" The scriptures Paul is referring to isn't John 3:16, it isn't Isiah 53, they are the scriptures he was given by Christ found in his epistles written before 1 Corinthians.
[Galatians 2:20 KJV] "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." [Galatians 3:13 KJV] "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:" [Galatians 1:4 KJV] "Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:" [1 Thessalonians 5:10 KJV] "Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.".........These are the scriptures that say Christ died for our sins. What Paul wrote was said to be scripture according to Peter..........[2 Peter 3:15 KJV] "And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;" [2 Peter 3:16 KJV] "As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.".........If what Paul wrote is said to be scripture then Paul could reference those scriptures in Galatians and 1 Thessalonians as being the scriptures he was referring to in 1 Corinthians 15:3 where he says Christ died according to the scriptures.
[1 Corinthians 15:4 KJV] "And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" There are scriptures that speak of his death, but none are found that he rose the third day except those found in the four gospels.
[Matthew 16:21 KJV] "From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day." [Matthew 17:23 KJV] "And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry." [Matthew 20:19 KJV] "And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again." [Mark 9:31 KJV] "For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day." [Mark 10:34 KJV] "And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again."..........These are some of the verses that say Christ rose the third day. Paul may have had access to these scriptures as there is debate in regard to dating the four gospels. There is evidence Mark may have been written around late 40Ad. Just something to consider.

[Acts 1:3 KJV] "To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:"
Most of what the Lord Jesus Christ taught the disciples and the multitudes was centered on teachings about the earthly kingdom on earth. He taught much by way of parables during his time on earth.

[Romans 10:9 KJV] "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." [Romans 10:10 KJV] "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.".........This passage is used as a salvation verse. Here in Romans Paul is talking about Israel's salvation. To enter their promised millennial kingdom Israel had to confess Jesus as Lord, the Son of God, and their Messiah.
Under their covenant relationship with the Lord Israel had to confess the name of the Lord......... [1 Kings 8:33 KJV] "When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:" [2 Chronicles 6:24 KJV] "And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;"
Jesus upheld the law and the covenant command to confess him as Lord......[Matthew 10:32 KJV] "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.".......Take note that Jesus didn't just say confess with the spirit of your mouth somehow, but they had to open their mouth and confess him before men in public.
[John 9:22 KJV] "These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue." [John 12:42 KJV] "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess [him], lest they should be put out of the synagogue:".........If the Jews confessed Jesus openly to others they could be put out of the synagogue.
Based on these passages confession pertained only to Israel.

[1 Corinthians 13:10 KJV] "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."........I think that "that which is perfect is come" could well be Charity.
[1 Corinthians 12:30 KJV] "Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?" [1 Corinthians 12:31 KJV] "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way."...........The Corinthian church was inappropriately esteeming tongues above all the gifts. Paul was saying charity was a more excellent way. Charity is brotherly love expressed to fellow saints and seeks what is beneficial for them...........[1 Corinthians 13:8 KJV] "Charity never faileth: but whether [there be] prophecies, they shall fail; whether [there be] tongues, they shall cease; whether [there be] knowledge, it shall vanish away."..........Tongues will cease but charity never fails.
[1 Corinthians 13:9 KJV] "For we know in part, and we prophesy in part." [1 Corinthians 13:10 KJV] "But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."..........That which was spoken by tongues only communicated the Word of God in part and Charity represents the epitome of what God want's to communicate. That which is perfect is charity.
[1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV] "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."..............Paul is illustrating to the Corinthians the childish thinking that esteemed tongues over charity should be put away.

[Daniel 9:24 KJV] "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.".........490 years are determined upon Israel.
[Daniel 9:25 KJV] "Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." [Daniel 9:26 KJV] "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.".........After 483 years Jesus would be put to death.
[Daniel 9:27 KJV] "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."........There are 7 years left to be fulfilled. In the middle of the 7 years there will be the great tribulation. This will not include the church today, the body of Christ, it is only determined for the people of Israel as seen in verse 24 above. All seventy weeks are only determined for "thy people" Israel.

[Mark 3:14 KJV] "And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,"..........Jesus ordained twelve as his apostles. Why twelve?
[Luke 22:30 KJV] "That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.".........Israel was promised an earthly kingdom in which they would reign with Christ............[Revelation 20:6 KJV] "Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years."........There will be twelve tribes and each tribe will be judged by one of the twelve apostles.

[Luke 19:11 KJV] "And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear."..........This verse lays to rest the idea that Jesus talked about a spiritual kingdom........[Luke 17:21 KJV] "Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."..........They were looking for a physical kingdom which was the prophetic Davidic kingdom in which Christ would reign for a thousand years. They wouldn't be looking for a physical kingdom if they already had the kingdom within.
[Luke 19:12 KJV] "He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return."........The nobleman, which pictures Christ, goes away to receive the kingdom at his return. Here Jesus was telling the disciples the kingdom wouldn't immediately appear, the kingdom would be delayed.
