Episode notes
End Times Are Both Now And Yet To Come
- Eschatology isn't strictly 'the last thing' and appears throughout Scripture, not just tacked on at the end of theology.
- Cory Marsh argues we live in 'latter days' relative to Christ's first coming but some end events remain future.
Olivet Discourse Frames Last Events
- The Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24–25) is one of Matthew's five major teachings and focuses on Jesus' presentation of last events.
- Cory Marsh emphasizes it extends beyond the original audience and demands future fulfillment of many details.
Temple Prophecy Leads To Sign Discussion
- Jesus prophesied the temple's destruction and then answered disciples' questions about timing and the sign of his coming.
- Ryan Day stresses Matthew emphasizes the coming and signs like the abomination of desolation as future realities.
