What Does Luke 20:29 Mean?
The Sadducees spin their hypothetical, stacking the levirate law toward absurdity: seven brothers, one bride, no children. The first marriage ends as every act of this story will end — in death.
The tale is engineered as mockery, yet hear what it actually describes: a world where death interrupts every promise. That is the world the Sadducees accept as final. The Lord they are questioning has come to end it.
