David Frum: Vaccine development is a sign of the coming kingdom. He says it shows that death will be defeated when Jesus returns as healer of all. The COVAX Global Vaccination Program has delivered its 1 billionth vaccine around the world, he says.Frum: It's something like I said, you dial back to 1919, nothing like that happened or could have happened.

What does it look like to have Christian hope in this chaotic world?

As believers, we live in the “already but not yet,” which means that we are currently in the kingdom of God, though the kingdom has not reached its full expression. In other words, we are “already” in the kingdom of God, but we do “not yet” experience its full glory.

In this Advent episode, David and Curtis look back at the challenging year and look for signs of the “coming Kingdom” so that listeners can “read the signs of the times”-- in a way that is both Biblical and hopeful – and live in the anticipation of God’s justice, restoration, and glory.
