This is our final episode in our Day Of The Lord series. In this episode Tim and Jon discuss the book of Revelation. It's perhaps the most famous and obvious thing people think about when talking about a future “Day Of The Lord.” Tim and Jon dive in and tackle some of the tough imagery in Revelation. The guys also pose another penultimate question: When will Jesus come back? Spoiler alert: no one knows. The first ten minutes of the show talks about some of the New Testament and Pauline ideas on the Day of the Lord. Specifically coming from 1 Thessalonians. Then Tim and Jon move on and discuss Revelation. The last part of the show, beginning at 28:30 is dedicated to discussing modern political implications of following Jesus. How are Christians supposed to live in a world that has Babylonian tendencies? This episode is designed to accompany our new Day of the Lord video on our youtube channel.

Jesus of Nazareth, the promised Messiah, comes to ancient Israel occupied by the Roman Empire. Instead of leading a war against the Romans, Jesus battles spiritual evil. The temptations of Jesus in the wilderness are often misunderstood. Jesus' approach to defeating evil is scandalous yet effective. His death and resurrection are a manifestation of the Day of the Lord and a victory over evil. Jesus' crucifixion forgives sins and cancels legal debts. The reason for Jesus' death is connected to defeating evil and serving as a substitution for sins. Jesus confronts spiritual evil and introduces a new ethic for living counter to Babylon.

Explore the significance of Babylon and ancient Egypt in the Day of the Lord. Delve into the poetry of Israel's prophets, God as a warrior, and the fall of Babylon. Discover the transformation of violent imagery in Revelation and the Old Testament. Uncover the origins of evil and biblical imagery. Learn about the multifaceted mission of Jesus and its connection to the Hebrew Bible.

In this episode, Tim and Jon cover a lot of ground on the biblical theme, Day of the Lord. As God’s chosen people, Israel is supposed to be a nation set apart, a counter-nation to Babylon. But we’ll see how God’s people make their journey from an oppressed people to the oppressors. God’s commitment is to dismantle human empires that rise to power and redefine good and evil, even if that means that God will have to defeat his own chosen nation. The story picks up with King Solomon in ancient Israel. He is considered to be one of the richest and wisest men who ever lived. But as Tim and Jon discuss, things aren't always as they seem. In the first part of the episode (02:25-23:42), the guys unpack the rise and fall of King Solomon. Solomon had a great beginning and good intentions as Israel’s king, but he got caught up in power and no longer thought of himself as under the authority of God. The story of Solomon is about the oppressed becoming the oppressors, and to the ancient prophets, Solomon's downfall is viewed as a "Day of the Lord." In the next part of the episode (24:07-1:01:46), the guys look at how leaders like Pharaoh and Solomon are made. Solomon is a prime example of how even good intentions can become corrupted. The guys wrap up this episode by setting the stage for the Roman empire and Christ's coming to earth.

The hosts discuss technology in the Bible, exploring whether it is inherently bad and the potential dangers and benefits it holds. They also delve into the story of the Hebrews' enslavement in Egypt, highlighting the concept of a warrior hero and the portrayal of God as a warrior who fights for the oppressed.

The End Times. The Tribulation. Judgement. All of these buzz words can be sensitive subjects for Christians. But how do the Bible authors deal with the future of the world? They use a phrase called "The Day of the Lord." This is the first episode in our new series on that phrase. Tim and Jon talk about this phrase, its origins, and some of big questions attached to it. Where does the Bible think history is going? What is God going to do about evil? This series will accompany a new theme video on The Day of the Lord that will be released later this year.
