The document discusses Paul's view of the "Hope of Israel" and how it relates to concepts in the Old Testament like the Temple, YHWH, and the Holy Spirit. It examines several passages from Paul's letters citing Old Testament scriptures on topics such as the indwelling of God/Christ through the Spirit, the Spirit as a deposit or down payment of the believer's inheritance, and the Spirit enabling believers to endure suffering as they await final salvation. The document argues the Spirit represents the fulfillment of Jewish eschatological hopes and empowers believers to live boldly as they wait for the future consummation.

9. Romans 10:8–15 (ESV)
8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth
and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9
because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will
be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and
with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture
says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the
same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on
him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.” 14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not
believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have
never heard? And how are they to hear without someone
preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent?
As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach
the good news!”

10. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be
saved.”……….., “How beautiful are the feet of those who
preach the good news!”
Joel 2:32 (ESV)
32 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the
name of the Lord shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in
Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has
said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord
calls.
Isaiah 52:7–8 (ESV)
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who
brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news
of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your
God reigns.” 8 The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their
voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the
return of the Lord to Zion.

11. 1 Thessalonians 3:13 (ESV)
13 so that he may establish your hearts
blameless in holiness before our God and
Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with
all his saints.
Zechariah 14:5 (ESV)
5 And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for
the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you
shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of
Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come,
and all the holy ones with him.

19 Or do you not know that your body is a
temple of the Holy Spirit within you,
whom you have from God? You are not

15. 2 Corinthians 6:16–17 (ESV)
16 What agreement has the
temple of God with idols? For
we are the temple of the living
God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling
among them and walk
among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my
people.
Leviticus 26:11–12 (ESV)
11 I will make my dwelling among you, and my soul shall
not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you and will be
your God, and you shall be my people.
Ezekiel 37:26–27 (ESV)
26 I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be
an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in
their land and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in
their midst forevermore. 27 My dwelling place shall be
with them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people.
17 Therefore go out from their
midst, and be separate from
them, says the Lord, and
touch no unclean thing; then
I will welcome you,
Isaiah 52:11 (ESV)
11 Depart, depart, go out from there;
touch no unclean thing;
go out from the midst of her; purify yourselves,
you who bear the vessels of the Lord.
Ezekiel 11:17 (ESV)

peoples and assemble you out of the countries where you have been
scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.’ LXX: Welcome you
Ezekiel 20:34 (ESV)
34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the

17. 2 Corinthians 1:21–22 (ESV with GK)
21 And it is God who establishes us with you in
Christ, and has anointed us, 22 and who has also
put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our
hearts as an arrabon.
A loan word from the Semitic, Heb. צֵרָבוֹן . Gn. 38:17 ff. (LXX,
ἀρραβών), Lat. arrha or arrhabo (B Gn. 38:17 ff.). The word is a
commercial term (Isaeus 8:23: Aristot. Pol., I, 11, p. 1259a, 12;
esp. pap.). It signifies a “pledge” which is later returned (only
Gn. 38:17–20); a “deposit” which pays part of the total debt and
gives a legal claim (BGU, 947, 6; Ostraka, II, 1168); “earnest-money”
ratifying a compact (P. Oxy., 299, 2 f.; BGU, 446, 5). It
always implies an act which engages to something bigger. It
occurs figur. in Antiph. Fr., 123, 6 (CAF, II, 60): ἔχοντες
ἀρραβῶνα τὴν τὲχνην τοῦ ζῆν; Menand. Fr., 697 (ibid., III, 200):
τοῦ δυστυχεῖν … ἀρραβῶνʼ ἔχειν. TDNT

18. Ephesians 1:11–14 (ESV)
11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having
been predestined according to the purpose of him
who works all things according to the counsel of
his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in
Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13 In him
you also, when you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were
sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is the
guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire
possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

19. Romans 8:14–30 (ESV)
14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For you did
not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received
the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 The Spirit
himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if
children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we
suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. 18 For I
consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with
the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager
longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was
subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in
hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption
and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know
that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth
until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the
firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons,
the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope
that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? 25 But if we hope
for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

20. “The Spirit is the evidence that the
eschatological promises of Paul’s
Jewish heritage have been fulfilled. At
the same time, the Spirit as God’s
empowering presence enables the
people of God not simply to endure
the present as they await the final
consummation, but to do so with
verve (with “spirit,” if you will). And
that is because the future is as sure as
the presence of the Spirit is an
experienced reality; hence the
significance of the dynamic and
experiential nature of the Spirit’s
coming into the life of the believer and
the church.”
