The Return of the Lord Jesus

The podcast episode discusses the concept of the second coming of Jesus Christ, focusing on cosmic eschatology. It emphasizes that the same Jesus who ascended into heaven will return in the future. The episode refers to a theological map outlined by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, which describes the future triumph of Christ. This includes the bodily resurrection of Jesus as the first fruits, the subsequent bodily resurrection of believers, the destruction of opposition and enemies, and the ultimate fulfillment of God's purpose in the world. The episode also explores the idea that Jesus, as the second man and the last Adam, will bring everything back to God the Father, fulfilling Adam's failed task of exercising dominion over the earth.
