John 5

We finish our study of the Exodus story in this week's episode.

We will be taking a break this summer and start a new study the first week of August.

God led the people with a pillar of fire and cloud. Why was that comforting to the Israelites? And why did God change His mind?

We look at a section of this story you probably skip over most reads. But we find two massive concepts within it that help us understand Jesus.

We explore the final plague and dive deep into the mystery of how Israel could have 2-3 million people when all the evidence suggests otherwise.... and why that supports the message of the Exodus.

We look at the lead up to the final plague.

Plagues 8 and 9.

We look at the next three plagues...

The plagues continue...

We look at the plagues in general, and how we should view them before digging into the first plague.

God shows His trust for Moses in this week's passage.

Exodus 5.1-6.1

We find a couple of ver confusing passages in today's section. God tries to kill Moses and tells us He is going to harden Pharaoh's heart so that he won't do what God wants. We make all this make sense in today's study.

We dig into Moses's encounter with God at the burning bush, and what it means for us and what we can learn about our callings.

Moses encounters God. We look at why he almost missed it and how we can avoid missing encounters with God in our lives.

What kind of person was Moses? And were there other people who worshipped God besides the Hebrews?

Enter Moses. we look at what led to his mother's seemingly insane actions and why they were blessed by God.

Pharaoh saw the people of Israel as a threat, and acted out how he saw fit. That didn't get in God's way.

We are starting a new study this week. We'll be looking at the Exodus story for the next several months. This story is probably the most quoted and referenced in the New Testament. The language of the exodus is everywhere. Understanding it will help you understand Jesus.

We reach the end of our in depth study of Revelation.

We finish up the description of the New Jerusalem this week, as well as look at how all the promises to the seven churches were fulfilled.

The New Jerusalem is God's new temple.

We witness the moment all of creation has been waiting for.

Evil is done, death is done, and we are judged.

Irenaeus, Origen, Augustine, Jonathan Edwards. We look at these four prominent theologians views on this extremely controversial section of the Bible. 

I did not mention it in the podcast, but I am aware that Origen was condemned as a heretic by several ecumenical councils in the 500-600's primarily for his doctrine of apocatastasis panton (universal salvation), and several other fringe doctrines. My use of his view neither acknowledges nor condemns the status of his salvation. I entirely disagree with the doctrine of universal salvation, but I also cannot ignore the irrefutable contributions Origen of Alexandria made to Christian thought.

Jesus returns to deal with evil once and for all. We knew that already. The better questions is how?

We look at the conclusion of the saga of the whore of Babylon and the celebration that follows.

Chapter 18

Who are the beast and the harlot, and are they in the world today?

The final septenary.

There is a divine mystery as to how God's wrath and our salvation work together.

We look at what hell is today and why it's encouraging?

We look at the conclusion to the war parable of chapter 12-13.

We look at what the number actually means, despite what Iron Maiden taught you.

Where did the serpent in the garden come from?

We look at why we should just sit around and wait to go to heaven...

We look at the two witness of chapter 11 of Revelation.

John takes us on one of his delaying interludes to give us some of his backstory and motivation.

We look at all of chapter 9 today.

What happens next.

We finish the first septenary of Revelation and prepare for the next. Don't know what that means? Watch and find out!

We look at the interruption to the story of the seven seals in this week's study.

We look at seals 5 and 6 today.

Things start to get other worldly as we diving into the vision of God bringing about His justice on the earth.

We finish the ceremony started in chapter 4. We see who is truly worthy and why they're worthy to enact God's justice on creation.

Today we look at a rare glimpse into the throne room of heaven. The place where God the Father resides, controls, and watches.
