RT Article T1 Metapher und Eschatologie bei Luther JF Zeitschrift für Theologie und Kirche VO 100 IS 2 SP 223 OP 240 A1 Ringleben, Joachim 1945- LA German YR 2003 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1784625248 AB God's eschatological actions in the creation and the new creation have a linguistic equivalent in the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament as well as in the language of biblical metaphors which make the old new and anticipate the eschaton in their language. This happens as well in the words 'This is my body', which identify the body of Christ eschatologically. For human beings as well, the glorification into soma pneumatikon signifies their becoming word, since God's beginning and ending pervade his creations until they reach perfection.
