david

 

In the Greek language, according to J. Greshem Manchen’s, New Testament Greek for Beginners, questions beginning with ouk and using the indicative, as this verse does, require a positive answer, while those beginning with un and using the indicative require a negative answer.  Since this verse begins with ouk, it would be better translated as such, “Doesn’t the kingdom of God come with observation?”

Likewise this verse in Act 2 concerning David begins with a contraction of ouk

 

34 For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand

 

It should be more accurately translated as: “Didn’t David ascend to heaven……” And the answer required by Greek grammar rules would be “Yes”.

 

This usage of ouk is confirmed for this verse in “Bible Works” software

 

Saints are the ones who upon death ascend to heaven with the souls adopted for them.

Faithful souls, in difference, fall asleep to God awaiting resurrection when their corrupt bodies die
