Episode notes
Messianic Authority Equals Judgment
- Matthew 28's
Two Ages Shape Discipleship
- The Great Commission is framed by a two-age scheme that divides history into this age and the age to come.
- Discipleship and proclamation are oriented toward the coming day of God's judgment and the resurrection.
Beware Fulfillment-Only Readings
- Contemporary readings that claim the church now 'realizes' Jewish eschatology are debated in academia.
- The hosts reject views that say eschatology was fully realized at Jesus' ascension.
