Explained connections
- Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die
Isaiah condemns Jerusalem's partying when it should repent. Paul quotes the careless slogan to show what life looks like if there is no resurrection.
- The key of David
Isaiah describes Eliakim receiving the key of the house of David, with authority to open and shut. The risen Christ claims this key in his letter to Philadelphia — he holds full authority over access to the kingdom.
