Episode notes
Be Judicious When Giving To Beggars
- Do give to those with legitimate, genuine needs when you have the resources to help them.
- Avoid giving to beggars indiscriminately where doing so fuels exploitation or creates a culture of begging.
Incarnation: Full Humanity Without Sin
- Jesus shared full human capacities like hunger, pain, aging, and death from Mary’s flesh yet remained sinless.
- MacArthur says God miraculously filtered out any influence of sin in the incarnation, though the mechanism is ultimately inscrutable.
Babylon Represents Global False Religion
- Babylon the Great symbolizes a worldwide conglomerate of false religion, echoing Tower-of-Babel paganism.
- MacArthur links its center to a seven-hilled city (Rome) while seeing a larger, centuries-spanning system of false religion.
