End Times 101: Historic Premillennialism
Episode 2.105
Postmillennialism: Hope for Gospel Victory
In this episode of End Times 101, Michael and Zach examine Historic Premillennialism—an older and often overlooked view of the end times that predates modern dispensational systems. While many associate premillennialism with charts and rapture timelines, this episode presents a simpler framework: Christ returns once, after tribulation, and then reigns on earth before the final judgment.
The discussion highlights key differences from Dispensational Premillennialism, particularly the unity of God’s people across history and the absence of a pre-tribulation rapture. Walking through passages like Matthew 24, Revelation 19–20, and 1 Corinthians 15, the episode builds a case for a single, visible return of Christ followed by a real, future reign. The conversation also explores how this view handles the millennium, resurrection order, and the ongoing presence of suffering prior to Christ’s return.
Michael and Zach also trace the historical roots of Historic Premillennialism in the early church, noting its presence among early Christian writers and its later decline as other systems developed. The episode closes by weighing both the strengths and challenges of the view—its simplicity, its realism about suffering, and the interpretive questions it raises.
At the center remains the shared hope across all faithful views: not a system, but a Savior who will return, defeat evil, and establish His reign.

00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,760
Wow, 18 pages.
The granddaddy of the mall,
2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:08,160
historic pre mill.
Buckle up, right, we're gonna
3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,440
have to fly through some of this
and you might have to be exact
4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,280
time to move on.
This is my the view I would hold
5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,200
to and you know, I'm hoping we
don't get lost in the wizard.
6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,920
Keep it simple.
But my tendency is gonna be
7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,560
like, let's look at this detail
and this detail.
8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,600
Doesn't it just like, make total
sense?
9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,119
But honestly, not as different
as probably our last episode
10
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:33,400
than I initially thought it
would be.
11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,480
I thought there'd be more stark
differences.
12
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:38,240
Yeah, I think probably 'cause
you're, you got a progressive
13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,520
just be next to you versus.
You're so progressive, Michael.
14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,680
That's what, when I think of
Michael, I think it's just
15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,320
progressive.
I mean, if you had others, you
16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,520
know, you, you could have
another consistent
17
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,400
dispensationalist sitting next
to you and it would be a much
18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,760
different discussion.
Yeah, so and that's why it's
19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,320
almost especially after I
learned that pre or post meal,
20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,880
there's no actual little
historic little rat.
21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,640
I don't know like how did I miss
that?
22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,360
Did either when it was first
explained to me someone was
23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,800
playing wrong or I just misheard
it, but I always thought that
24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,160
like there was this almost like
a pseudo millennial reign before
25
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,080
he came and then they usher him
in to rain on earth for some
26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,880
time before the eschaton so I
didn't.
27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,960
But someone like it's, it's
'cause there's not a lot of post
28
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:31,400
meals out there.
I mean, reformed MD maybe.
29
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,640
I guess you're, you're on the
fence.
30
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,400
What I would love to do.
I don't think we'll ever do it.
31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,400
It'd be great to have a podcast
with me and you reformed indeed.
32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,360
If he leans post mail, I know
he's like he was kind of I think
33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240
he was talking to comment like
he's like in between and then I
34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,240
was thinking about someone else
that we run circles in to
35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,440
represent the AW mill view and
just like talk talk about.
36
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,400
Family in Memphis anymore?
I don't have, I don't have any
37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:58,280
family in Memphis.
Yeah.
38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,840
So that means you either have to
come out to Arkansas or Reformed
39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,320
MD has to come here.
It would be cool to get like
40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:06,520
different reasons to talk about
in it.
41
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,240
Like one thing I really
appreciate about reformed MDI.
42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Don't know him, but I read his
comments.
43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,560
His comments are thoughtful.
They're measured and they're
44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,160
never like like sometimes
they're funny like they're not
45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,480
like they're.
Not off he sent me a a video
46
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,680
today and I actually have not
watched the video yet but I
47
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,680
could tell from the video what
it was and it was like it said
48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,960
this be when they're explained
the end times and it was.
49
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160
Like that, all the crazy, It's
always sunny or yeah, yeah.
50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Yeah, I just sent him AI rolling
emoji, but it happened at work,
51
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,360
so I didn't haven't I, I wasn't
like purposely not watching and
52
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,160
I just couldn't.
But I was like, oh, I know what
53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,480
this is going to be, but yeah.
He he was saying something.
54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,960
I was like, yeah, when in doubt,
when in doubt, we can.
55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,320
You can always make fun of the
hardcore dispensational.
56
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:51,600
I mean I not.
You.
57
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:52,400
No, yeah.
Not you, not.
58
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,520
You agree?
No, I agree.
59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,480
We can make Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's great.
60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,560
When in doubt, we can all go
there.
61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,040
Just kidding, but I'm excited
for historic pre mill so let's
62
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,120
go ahead and take it to the next
level.
63
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:11,400
Let's fire up that twangy music.
From the hearts of the Low
64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,720
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast where
65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,920
we take theology to the next
level.
66
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,720
I and I almost titled this one.
You know, not all
67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,880
premillennialism is the same
slash.
68
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,560
This is not your mother's pre
meal because it's probably not
69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,360
your mother's pre meal cause
'cause you think of pre meal you
70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,040
almost in in American
evangelical culture.
71
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,760
I think dispensational
dispensational had the the
72
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,720
chokehold for a long time.
Yeah.
73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,880
And I think if we can have a
podcast on a mill and post mill
74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,840
and there is no mill there, I
know that you know what I'm
75
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,480
saying there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
76
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,680
Then I think it's fine to have
even differences distinctions
77
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,880
between historic progressive or
a hard line despy.
78
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,600
I like that.
Yeah, though that that is good.
79
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,080
I think the series has been good
for that.
80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,000
I will at the outset say a lot
of the thoughts I am sharing
81
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,640
come from George Eldon Ladd, the
one of my favorite guys with
82
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,240
already not yet kind of
breakdown.
83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,399
A lot of it's coming from a guy
named Fred Zaspel.
84
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:20,279
He writes really well.
And then also a guy named
85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,720
Michael Schultz.
He's one of my seminary
86
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,240
professors and he has such a
great presentation.
87
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:26,880
He has such a great first name,
Mike.
88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,960
Let me get behind that,
borrowing heavily from some of
89
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,760
his materials.
But the big idea, historic pre
90
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,240
mill teaches that Christ will
return before a real literal
91
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,920
future reign on earth.
Compared to dispensationalism,
92
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:51,040
hardline dispensationalism does
not have this stark separation
93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,440
between Israel and the church,
does not have a pre Trib
94
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,640
rapture.
We talked last week.
95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Dispensationalism doesn't
necessarily have to have a pre
96
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,520
Trib rapture either.
For someone who is historic pre
97
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,200
mill, you know, Israel could
construct the Third temple
98
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,680
tomorrow.
They could start offering
99
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,840
sacrifices.
Israel could cease to be a
100
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,200
nation tomorrow.
And I don't think a whole lot
101
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,440
would change about their
viewpoint.
102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,960
It wouldn't affect things in the
same way that like a hard line
103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,240
dispensationalist might be like
everything has changed or that
104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,680
kind of thing.
So pre mill, a lot of
105
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,040
similarities but some
differences.
106
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Of the first wave or hardline
dis bees, whatever we want to
107
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,440
call those who do believe that
the sacrificial system will get
108
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,560
started again 'cause I do
remember being younger and my
109
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,760
preacher reading something about
them breeding for red heifer
110
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,600
again yeah and so that was like
signs of the end times and.
111
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,640
I think that's going on like
heavily right now.
112
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,080
And they were like so close, but
there was like one blemish on
113
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,240
this red heifer and they keep
like trying to get closer to and
114
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,280
they've got.
To be a pure red heifer like no
115
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:54,520
spots.
Pure and I think like the
116
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,200
they're getting together like
all.
117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,920
The is this?
Is this prescriptive in the
118
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,720
Bible?
Have I missed it or is this like
119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,480
in the Talmud or Masoretic?
Like where did the red heifer
120
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,280
come from?
Have I just missed it?
121
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,840
I, I, I think there is a red
heifer.
122
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:11,080
We should, we should look this
up.
123
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,600
But I, I, I let's, let's do a
little search while I start
124
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,280
talking about some differences
in hard line dispensationalism
125
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,720
from historic pre mill.
Historic pre mill sees more
126
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,120
continuity between Israel and
the church.
127
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,840
Not this strict separation.
You know they would look at
128
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,200
passages like Galatians 3.
You know you're 1 if you are in
129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,960
Christ.
There's no male nor female that
130
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,120
that kind of thing.
No pre trip rapture typically
131
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,200
big difference really where I
want to spend most of our time
132
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,120
is looking at just a couple of
passages.
133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,760
I want to look at one.
We've looked at a few times
134
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,600
Revelation 20 because I think a
deeper dive.
135
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,840
I know you don't want to base
every not not you, but I know
136
00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,920
like people don't, you don't
want to place put all your eggs
137
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,560
in the Revelation basket.
But I'm like, Revelation is
138
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,840
clear to me.
It's clear.
139
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,480
There's a lot of things I don't
know about it, but it's like,
140
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,840
man, it cannot be more clear.
So let's go ahead and open up
141
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Revelation 21 through 6.
I know you've read this for us a
142
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,600
few times.
I'll set some, set up, some
143
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560
background, and then we'll read
this maybe a couple verses out
144
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,200
of time and work our way through
it just.
145
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,520
To note, it is number 19.
Oh.
146
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,680
Numbers, I say.
OK, there you go.
147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,240
Good, good catch.
Institutes to red heifer I I
148
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,920
mean, I guess I just need to
study numbers more.
149
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,000
You don't do your you're not
you're not near like a numbers.
150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,760
Deep, I mean, I do the read
throughs, you know, and I get
151
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,840
the big pictures, but I, I, I
can't say I've graphed it all
152
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,160
out so.
And got to got to brush up on
153
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,880
the red heifer theology.
Historic pre mill differs from
154
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,200
Ahmil in the fact that it's 1000
literal real future reign.
155
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,080
It's not not symbolic for the
present age.
156
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,240
It's not a Millennium going on
in heaven right now.
157
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,280
It's a future phase of history
that's literal in nature.
158
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,840
One thing I do want to say too,
because we've talked about this
159
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,960
on the podcast, you read
Revelation and I, I agree that
160
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,880
probably the most natural way to
read Revelation is through this
161
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,920
lens of recapitulation where
you're seeing the same view,
162
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,680
same scene like over and over
and over and over again do.
163
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:22,680
You think reading Revelation as
recapitulation or straight
164
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,560
through, do you think that would
affect your theology?
165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,280
Because I could see any of the
views that we've talked about
166
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,000
potentially reading it either
straight through or
167
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,400
recapitulation and still coming
maybe to the same conclusion.
168
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,799
And that's the point I'm going
to make.
169
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,080
I think you can.
I think the charge is if you're
170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,560
pre meal, you probably just read
revelation chronologically and
171
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,600
if you're like aw mill and smart
and you can like see the
172
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,720
recapitulation and you can you
know, I I think that would be
173
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,880
like how a lot of people frame
it, but I think.
174
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,320
I mean there's even if there are
like 7 recapitulations, yes.
175
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Right.
There's there's bad things that
176
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,480
happen and Jesus returns and
sets things straight and he
177
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,640
reigns for 1000 years.
Yeah.
178
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800
And I want to make the point
that if you read I, I listen to
179
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,080
a lecture.
It's free from Reformed
180
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Theological Seminary.
Actually, not a lecture, but a
181
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,680
class by Doctor Michael Krueger,
who does a lot in apologetics.
182
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,360
He has this great class on the
Book of Revelation and he uses
183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,480
William Hendrickson's More than
Conquerors.
184
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,600
I think that's like one of the
30s or 40s commenters,
185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,520
Revelation that that really
talks about this recapitulation
186
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,640
in detail.
And one of the go to texts, if
187
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,680
you look at like go to texts you
got to read and they always put
188
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,640
a recapitulation in between
chapter 19 and 20.
189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,520
And I want to show exegetically.
That's bad.
190
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,360
Hermeneutics.
That's a.
191
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,400
That's like a.
Forcing a system on there.
192
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Forcing it where you can look
everywhere else in Revelation
193
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,800
and you don't have to force it.
It fits naturally.
194
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,400
And that's when I want to spend
a little bit of time talking
195
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,400
about.
For more context, if we were to
196
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,400
zoom out, look at Revelation 19
and 20, I think, I think the
197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,040
average person would not put a
break there.
198
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,400
You can read a lot of other
Revelation Revelation and put a
199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760
break there, but I think you'd
have to be taught to put a break
200
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,400
there.
Honestly, 'cause if you go
201
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,760
through all the scrolls and then
you get to the all the trumpets,
202
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,880
like there's a natural blank in
between those.
203
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,560
Exactly, exactly right.
We're here.
204
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,800
It's very very strange and
historic pre mill and
205
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,720
dispensationalism would see
continuity and sequence between
206
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Revelation 19 and 20.
Revelation 19 ends famously with
207
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,080
this rider on a White Horse, you
know, coming back.
208
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,080
Revelation 20 is this
Millennium.
209
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:42,640
I wish I wrote down the guy this
quote I came across and and in
210
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,120
these notes, and there's a
couple on mills that were
211
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,880
basically like, man, and this is
not a recapitulation.
212
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800
You kind of have to be his, you
kind of have to be a three meal.
213
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,280
But but they're like, but there
is so we're on mill or whatever,
214
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,960
you know, but so so that's like
what's at stake here?
215
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Is it clear?
Is it not clear?
216
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,000
So real quick, I don't want to
get bogged out in the weeds too
217
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,680
much, but three, this is from
Michael Schultz's presentation
218
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,440
because I think it's so good.
There's three criteria for
219
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,840
having a new section, a new
recapitulation, 1A new vision is
220
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,600
introduced.
We we'll look at some of these
221
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,040
two.
There's a major language change.
222
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,080
The scene has changed or a clear
narrative shift.
223
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,400
These would give you an
indication, hey, maybe it's a
224
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,680
whole new scene.
So look at the look at the first
225
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:24,760
one.
No new vision.
226
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,760
If you want to pull up, pull up
Revelation 4, verse 2.
227
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,360
I'll pull up While you're doing
that, I'll look at Revelation
228
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000
17, verse 3 and just just read
that verse.
229
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,160
Sorry, I am feverishly turning
4.
230
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Verse 2 says immediately I was
in the spirit.
231
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,960
Behold, the throne was standing
in heaven, and one sitting on
232
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,200
the throne.
So John's in the spirit, chapter
233
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,080
1, he's in the spirit, 4 is in
the spirit 17 he was carried
234
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,280
away in the spirit.
And, and with this carrying
235
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,080
away, you're kind of in this new
scene, you see something a
236
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,640
little bit different happens
again in 2110 after 19/20/21 or
237
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,600
kind of all together.
You kind of see him carried away
238
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,040
in the spirit with a change in
the location.
239
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,320
It's very, very clear.
So first thing, we don't see
240
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,960
chapter 20 in the spirit
markers.
241
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,680
Like that's not, there's
definitely not a change there.
242
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,640
Is there a language change?
Actually, I would argue that
243
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,720
it's the opposite.
You actually see a lot of
244
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,600
continuity in language.
You see this in the Greek, it's
245
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,880
a Kai Eiden.
That's basically Then I saw or
246
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,240
and I saw and in chapter 19,
starting with the rider on a
247
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,840
White Horse in verse 11 it says
then I saw then verse 17, then I
248
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:38,920
saw chapter 20 verse one.
Then I saw 21 seven or 2111.
249
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,640
Then I saw 20-11, then I saw 21
one, then I saw.
250
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,120
So you kind of see the
sequencing that seems like this
251
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,080
all is kind of like the same
thing and going in some sort of
252
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,440
order.
You read a lot of the Ahmil
253
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,280
commentaries and they kind of
say, well, these aren't
254
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,320
necessarily in order.
They're not chronological and
255
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,680
they kind of like flip flop them
around, which seems strange.
256
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,680
I'm saying it could happen, but
it's it seems like it is
257
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,040
flowing.
Reading into something and.
258
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,360
Reading into when it's like it's
a continuous story, yeah, it
259
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,320
kind of signals because.
If it makes sense this way, what
260
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,360
what would indicate other than
your system to change it?
261
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,360
That's exactly because if order,
if order doesn't matter.
262
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,360
Like.
Yeah, what?
263
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,680
You just change it, whatever.
But what are we doing?
264
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,240
And so there's no language
change for a new vision.
265
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,760
And lastly, there's no narrative
break.
266
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,520
It's actually a very a
continuous storyline.
267
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,360
If you look at Revelation 12 and
13, you read the story about the
268
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,360
beast, the false prophet, and
Satan.
269
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,640
They're all kind of together.
Some people have called this the
270
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,440
unholy Trinity or something like
that.
271
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,520
In Revelation 19, we see the
beast and false prophet judge,
272
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,760
Revelation 20, Satan's judged.
Kind of seems like we're just
273
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,360
recapitulating what 12 and 13 is
saying again.
274
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,080
Again, we're making like, why
are we breaking this up?
275
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,520
Kind of, Johnson?
Knew that this would be a
276
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,600
problem when he put when he
wrote chapter 20 and he broke it
277
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,520
up.
Yeah.
278
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,240
Also good to know the chapter.
Yeah, these chapters are not
279
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,160
inspired.
The chapter breaks that.
280
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,800
That's great.
So what we see is the same
281
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,000
setting, the same characters,
the same progression.
282
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,120
Not really a good reason to make
a change.
283
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,040
And without these
presuppositions, it's really one
284
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,000
continuous story.
Again, I think you'd have to be
285
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,320
taught.
You'd have to study to learn
286
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,760
that you should break these up.
Similar to the pre Trib rapture.
287
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,240
I don't think you find it in
scripture beautiful.
288
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,280
You have to.
You have to be taught that it's
289
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,360
there.
It cuts both ways where that's
290
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,320
the kind of thing a
presbyterian's gonna make fun of
291
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,360
a dis be all about.
But we're kind of doing the same
292
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,320
thing here.
You know what I mean?
293
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,800
So I'm so glad you you brought
that up.
294
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,800
And cause honestly, I think it's
simply just bad hermeneutics.
295
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,880
It does not let the text speak
for itself.
296
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,800
You're really, I know
Revelation's like tricky, it's
297
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,240
apocalyptic, whatever.
But on some of this stuff that's
298
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200
not even like you're just,
you're just putting your
299
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,160
framework over.
So anyway, long winded intro.
300
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,000
Let's read verses one through 3
and talk about the binding of
301
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,480
Satan.
It says, Then I saw an Angel
302
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,160
coming down from heaven, holding
the key of the abyss, and a
303
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,000
great chain in his hand, and he
laid hold of the dragon, the
304
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,280
serpent of old, who is the devil
and Satan, and bound him for
305
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,840
1000 years.
And he threw him into the abyss,
306
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,920
and shut it, and sealed it over
him, so that he would not
307
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,840
deceive the nation's any longer
until the thousand years were
308
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,200
completed.
After these things, he must be
309
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,480
released for a short time.
So we've talked about this
310
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,000
before, but I think it's
important to know we we start
311
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,480
out seeing an Angel descending
from heaven to earth.
312
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,000
Also, this is happening on
Earth.
313
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,040
This is not happening in heaven.
If you're kind of thinking
314
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,320
Millennium, it's weird, you know
that John is not saying this
315
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,080
isn't heaven right now.
It's actually on the earth, very
316
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,280
clear, the nature of binding.
Like just read some of these
317
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,440
adjectives and descriptors.
He seized, He's bound.
318
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,280
He's thrown into a pit, shut and
sealed.
319
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,120
I get the argument that it's
like he's bound but still has
320
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,040
some leash.
But when you read all these
321
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,280
words together, why are we
saying this so much if it's like
322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,760
it seems dramatic?
And like we've said in previous
323
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,160
ones, I, I 'cause I couldn't
stop myself.
324
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,400
It does seem like he still is
deceiving nations right now.
325
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,000
It's see, no, I'm so glad he
brought that up.
326
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,080
Fred Zaspel, in an essay I was
reading by him, he says, if
327
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,400
you're reading these words that
someone sees bound, thrown into
328
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
a pit, shut and sealed, you
would think Satan's
329
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,720
incarcerated.
He's not on parole.
330
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,160
And I like that.
It's like, it's not like he's on
331
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,080
house arrest and he's like
moving around.
332
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,280
It's like, no, this is like a
big deal.
333
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,680
He's bound.
He can't be on this awfully long
334
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080
chain.
Also, what Fred Zaspel notes is
335
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,080
that you see, you see this, the
dragon, the ancient surface, who
336
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:35,840
is the devil?
Satan.
337
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,400
He's like using all the
different names for Satan and
338
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,120
putting them all together.
And that's all bounded that,
339
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,480
that that's sending a message in
and of itself.
340
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,240
You read Revelation 12 that
talks about Satan's defeat.
341
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,360
You, you read First Peter 5
walking about seeking whom he
342
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,480
may devour.
Second Timothy 2 says that Satan
343
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,920
takes men captive currently at
his will. 2nd Corinthians 4 The
344
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,160
God of this world who blinds the
minds of those who are lost. 1st
345
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Thessalonians 2 Paul talks about
Satan opposing him.
346
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,440
Matthew 13 Jesus tells a parable
that Satan has permitted to
347
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,800
snatch away the gospel seed that
is sown.
348
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,040
It seems like Revelation 20
would be on a totally different
349
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,240
page than all of these New
Testament texts that talk about
350
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,560
Satan if he's really bound sees
throne.
351
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,000
It just seems very at odds with
the rest of scripture.
352
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,720
When you mentioned it, it just
seems this is not the best
353
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,480
argument, but I think it's a
good argument.
354
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,200
There seems to be a lot of
global deception.
355
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:36,320
Yeah, a lot of global evil
especially like I think maybe in
356
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,520
the, well, there have been
probably different times where
357
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:45,080
you see a large, I use the word
superpower rise up, especially
358
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,480
if it's Christian based.
And you think, all right, here
359
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,840
it is.
We're about to usher in the
360
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,160
golden age.
And it really reminds me of the
361
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,160
series we did on Ezra and
Nehemiah.
362
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,840
I just like you think this is
it, we're doing it.
363
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,080
And like God reminds you, no,
you're not going to be able to
364
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,560
achieve this on your own.
I am going to send my son to set
365
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,560
this right eventually.
Yeah.
366
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,960
And so the Roman Empire, good at
the first, gets corrupt America,
367
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,520
some might argue, good at the
first.
368
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,600
Obviously, we had our failings
at the first, too.
369
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,320
And and then we maybe gone
through an old age and you look
370
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,120
at the debauchery that we're
experienced, right?
371
00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:19,760
Now it's it's.
Crazy.
372
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,120
It you look at that, it is
insane.
373
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:26,880
I read this stack that in the
last sorry 70 million
374
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,600
individuals estimating.
I don't know how you estimate
375
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,360
this since the time of Christ
have been martyred half of that
376
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:35,840
or more in the last 100 years
like like crazy that that that's
377
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,360
escalating that much.
Would you and this is an
378
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,120
emotional argument.
Would you tell the spouse of a
379
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,720
Christian who was martyred for
their faith.
380
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,640
So glad Satan's bound, glad he's
not, you know, deceiving the
381
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,760
nations.
Things are going great.
382
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,120
That would be a hard thing to
say, Amil individuals will often
383
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,440
say what Christ accomplished on
the cross was the binding of
384
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Satan.
Is that going to be undone at at
385
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,560
one at a future date?
That's a weird thing.
386
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Is there because, you know, I
don't have all the scripture
387
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,240
memorized.
So maybe there's a, there's an
388
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,160
argument that maybe I don't
know, but I, I thought what
389
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,440
Christ did on the cross was pay
for our sins.
390
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,880
And then then it talks about
taking captivity captive.
391
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,880
But to me, I understand that to
be Abraham's bosom rescuing in
392
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,280
that and like basically bringing
that to a more fuller
393
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,640
relationship with God so that
Paul can later say to be absent
394
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,520
from the body and to be present
from the Lord.
395
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,080
That's good.
But I don't see.
396
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:35,200
Am I missing some scriptural
argument that would say that he?
397
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,040
Maybe you know, Reformed D or
someone can talk about the am I
398
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,920
and I could be wrong 'cause I'm
not on mill if it's Christ on
399
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,480
the cross or something shortly
thereafter is associated.
400
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,480
I I have read and it might not
be representative of everyone's
401
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,920
views that in Christ out on the
cross.
402
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,800
One of the things that was
accomplished is this binding of
403
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Satan.
And that's why the Millennium is
404
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,280
essentially, you know, ushered
in right now.
405
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,720
And maybe people don't believe
that.
406
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,240
I hope they don't because
you're, they're basically saying
407
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,640
one day that's going to be
undone.
408
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,760
And if if you're kind of tying
it to what Christ?
409
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,560
Your argument is if Satan's
going to be bound unbound, we're
410
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,480
undoing something.
Christ.
411
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,440
That's not the strongest
argument, but I feel like that's
412
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,400
kind of weird.
Anyway, also something to think
413
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,560
about.
Well, anyway, let's move on.
414
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,960
We're going to get bogged down.
Let's read verses 4 through 6
415
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,880
talking about the first
resurrection and reign.
416
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,160
Then I saw Thrones and they sat
on them, and judgement was given
417
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,360
to them.
And I saw the souls of those who
418
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,080
had been beheaded because of
their testimony of Jesus and
419
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,960
because of the word of God, and
those who had not worshipped the
420
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,600
beast or his image and had not
received the mark on their
421
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,840
forehead and on their hand.
And they came to life and
422
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,200
reigned with Christ for 1000
years.
423
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,040
The rest of the dead did not
come to life until the thousand
424
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,480
years were completed.
This is the first resurrection.
425
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,440
Blessed and holy is the one who
has a part in the first
426
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,720
resurrection.
Over these the second death has
427
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,320
no power, but they will be
priests of God and of Christ,
428
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,240
and will reign with Him for 1000
years.
429
00:21:04,360 --> 00:21:06,840
Great.
Really what I want to hone in on
430
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:12,680
is the nature of this
resurrection Amil individuals
431
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,400
are going to really lean into
there's a spiritual
432
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,520
resurrection, not necessarily
physical.
433
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,440
You know that's why they're
raining right now, right?
434
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Word study this is from Michael
Schultz's presentation is
435
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,280
basically every time that word
resurrection is used.
436
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,600
It's a physical, literal, bodily
resurrection and you kind of do
437
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,320
want to be careful with saying
that that's can be spiritualized
438
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,640
really nilly there, you know,
because then you run into all
439
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,640
sorts of sorts of different
problems.
440
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,160
Ultimately you they wouldn't do
this, but you know, you could
441
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,680
run into like some liberal
trying to undermine Christ's
442
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,840
resurrection as being Oh yeah,
he was resurrected, but it's
443
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,400
merely a spiritual thing, not a
bodily thing.
444
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,920
You look at other places in the
New Testament.
445
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,440
I don't think there's any good
reason to think that specific
446
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,520
word resurrection is used merely
spiritually.
447
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,440
Every other use of the Greek
word is literal.
448
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,600
There are, however, they concede
there are like in John 5.
449
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,880
It doesn't it's not the word
resurrection, but it's saying
450
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,360
let's, let's pull up John, turn
to John 5.
451
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:12,000
We'll see.
I'll see if I.
452
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,120
Can find this the Gospel of
John?
453
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,800
The Gospel of John that, that,
that's.
454
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,240
Right, I guess probably first.
John may not even have 5, right?
455
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,920
Five chapters, perhaps I'll.
See if I can find this. 2
456
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,640
resurrections.
It this is an example I think
457
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,320
that someone who all know might.
Let me read that section.
458
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,800
John, 525.
Maybe it's 525.
459
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,720
Yeah, read that.
What's that say?
460
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,200
It says truly, truly, I say to
you, an hour's coming, and as
461
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,440
now is when the dead will hear
the voice of the Son of God and
462
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,160
those who here will live.
For just as the Father has life
463
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:48,680
in himself, Even so he who gave
to the Son also to have life in
464
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,560
himself, and he gave him
authority to execute judgment,
465
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,800
because he is the Son of man.
Do you think this is it?
466
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,880
No, I think he nailed and my
point was there is language in
467
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,840
scripture talks about dead to
life that is spiritual.
468
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:03,800
The word resurrection however
though is always like a physical
469
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,240
resurrection.
So I.
470
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,680
Think he would say we are dead
in our trespasses and sins, but
471
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,000
God has made us alive in Christ,
but he doesn't say he has
472
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,840
resurrected you in Christ.
Exactly because I think the Amil
473
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,040
argument would be like, well, we
see these other places, but if
474
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,280
you're trying to not that that's
then they'll be all but trying
475
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,680
to, you know, hit hit a lot of
these different, different areas
476
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,840
where I think exegetically,
exegetically, you must take it
477
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,840
as a physical resurrection.
Revelation 6, it talks of
478
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,760
martyrs with Saints in heaven
like this looks like it's the
479
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,600
intermediate state since the
Lord is still going to carry out
480
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,040
vengeance for them.
That's different than Revelation
481
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,480
20.
If you can see these difference
482
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,280
in the scenes Anyway, we also
will keep, we'll just keep
483
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,880
moving on.
Can you read well?
484
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,120
And then we'll just summarize 7
through 10 is the final
485
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,600
rebellion that that's the big
stuff I want to read because I
486
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,240
think if you're arguing from the
texts, that kind of stuff.
487
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,120
See, I know you can't nail on
everything Revelation, but some
488
00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:03,680
of this stuff seems like it at
least goes together.
489
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,040
You shouldn't isolate it, tear
it apart.
490
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,960
So 7 through 10.
Yeah, 7 through 10.
491
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:11,920
It's great.
When the 1000 years are
492
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,160
completed, Satan will be
released from his prison and
493
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,280
will come out to deceive the
nations which are in the four
494
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,240
corners of the earth.
Gog and Magog to gather them
495
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,960
together for the war.
The number of them is like the
496
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,640
sand of the seashore.
And they came up on the broad
497
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,920
plain of the earth and
surrounded the camp of the
498
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,560
Saints and the beloved city.
And fire came down from heaven
499
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,960
and devoured them.
And the devil who deceived them
500
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,760
was thrown into the lake of fire
and brimstone, where the beast
501
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,800
and the false prophet are also.
And they will be tormented day
502
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,080
and night, forever and ever.
So you see all three of them
503
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,200
together again.
It's like it's the end of the
504
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,720
narrative that started in 19.
I, I, I think that makes a lot
505
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,120
of sense.
And I've got this Bible 'cause
506
00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:55,560
this is the Bible I was reading
or studying in when I was
507
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,440
listening to Kruger go through
his stuff.
508
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,920
And he does have a note here.
The binding occurs likely at the
509
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:01,720
cross.
He's like, we can't know it
510
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,800
definitively, but that's what
Reformed Theological Seminary
511
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,080
would kind of put forth, which I
think is a fairly good
512
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,840
representation of what a lot of
all male individuals might
513
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,960
think.
Let's move on to 1st Corinthians
514
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,720
15 and talk resurrection order.
And we'll try to move through
515
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,200
this quickly 'cause I think this
is helpful too, where Paul says
516
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,680
more than just, you know, the
resurrection happens.
517
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,680
But I think he's helpful in
giving us an order.
518
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,960
And this is a good thing to talk
through because I think each of
519
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,840
you would look at this and say,
yeah, I affirm this.
520
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,720
But they would kind of ascribe
different, different things,
521
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,800
different different terms.
So let's hone in on this word
522
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,720
order, each in his own order.
It's gonna imply sequence or
523
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,000
stages.
We read this a lot and Paul's
524
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,080
writing, even in verse five and
seven has this kind of word
525
00:25:53,360 --> 00:25:56,520
where there can't, there can be
gaps in between.
526
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,040
I think he like appears to see.
It's like he's not appearing to
527
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,040
everyone right away, right away,
right away.
528
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,720
There might be a few days here,
a few days there.
529
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,200
All that to say, it's more of
the order rather than immediacy
530
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,520
is what we're going to try to
argue for historic pre mill.
531
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:16,200
So go ahead and read for us
verse 23 of chapter 15.
532
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,360
And before it is.
So the point you're making is,
533
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:23,000
yeah, clarify even if things are
in order doesn't mean like that
534
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,760
it was immediately this, then
this.
535
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,320
There could be gaps in that
order and it still be in order.
536
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,160
Exactly.
Yes, that's the argument that
537
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,880
historic promote Treadmate.
Alright, so 23 says, but each in
538
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,000
his own order.
Christ the firstfruits after
539
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,720
that, those who are Christ at
his coming.
540
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,560
So let's focus on Christ the
firstfruits, Jesus's
541
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,080
resurrection.
That's the beginning.
542
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,520
That's the down payment, that's
the guarantee of what follows.
543
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,880
That's not the whole harvest,
just the first part.
544
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,680
And I think most people would
say that could happen and there
545
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,080
could there there is a large gap
between that and the second part
546
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,480
of that verse that you read
Those who belong.
547
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,520
Let's see how how it says those
who belong, then at his coming,
548
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,520
those who belong to Christ will
be resurrected.
549
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,400
So there is a huge gap.
Cause 20/21/22 the subject is
550
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,200
clearly being raised from the
dead, what we would call being
551
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,080
resurrected, not the being
spiritually made alive in
552
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,360
Christ.
So you have Christ resurrected,
553
00:27:20,360 --> 00:27:24,480
first fruits, big gap.
And then when Christ returns,
554
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,720
more resurrection will happen.
We would all say there's time
555
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,320
period between that there.
You have to, right?
556
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's keep reading verse 24.
557
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:37,080
Then comes the end, when he
hands over the Kingdom to the
558
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,120
God and Father, when he has
abolished all rule and all
559
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,800
authority and power.
So this is where it gets a
560
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,280
little bit a little spicier
between all the different views.
561
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,280
Then comes the end.
Allmil might be like, hey, we're
562
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,520
good, it's over.
Then then comes the end.
563
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,040
A lot of the interpretive
questions arise from here.
564
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,280
What happens between Christ
coming and the end?
565
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,800
So for historic pre mill, the
time the the sequence is gonna
566
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,320
look something like this, Christ
is raised.
567
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:06,800
That's past tense already
happened.
568
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,440
When Christ returns, believers
are raised, there'll be a period
569
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,480
of reign, this millennial reign
to follow.
570
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,440
That's really verse, verses 24
and 25 that we might read in a
571
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,720
little bit leading to verse 26,
the final defeat of death.
572
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,000
And then everything is kind of
the end because you read then
573
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,880
the end.
What I want you to read next is
574
00:28:27,120 --> 00:28:29,120
is more of what follows because
there's like qualifying
575
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,880
statements about what that looks
like.
576
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:40,160
For he must reign until he has
put all his enemies under his
577
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,840
feet.
The last enemy that will be
578
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,600
abolished is death.
So, so me as a historic prima
579
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,440
looking at this, I would say
Christ reigns and then comes the
580
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,520
end.
But but the end doesn't come
581
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,880
until all enemies are defeated.
And that that's progressive.
582
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,320
It's a phase.
It's not in one decisive moment
583
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,080
that could look like the
Millennium, where maybe you have
584
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,440
some unsaved individual.
You know what I'm saying?
585
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,440
Like if you're eventually
conquering and then when death
586
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,280
is conquered, then the end.
Yeah.
587
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,720
And you might say, I, I can hear
someone say, well, why like
588
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,920
Christ could God could defeat
everything.
589
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,640
But there's if, if according to
Revelation 20, we just ran read
590
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,680
that the Saints who were
faithful and the martyrs are
591
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,440
reigning with him.
There's probably growth that's
592
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,280
they're going to experience and
they're also going to see sides
593
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,160
of God that are going to bring
him glory.
594
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Like just like this life right
now, we are growing in a certain
595
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,880
way and we see God's glory
revealed in certain ways.
596
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,600
I'm assuming that when we get a
resurrection bodies and we see
597
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,200
Christ reigning literally, that
there are going to be things
598
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,520
that we can't even imagine.
Like, oh, that makes sense.
599
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,800
We get to experience this here.
And we would not have known that
600
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,520
if this particular phase did not
happen.
601
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,680
I think that's really, really
good.
602
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,360
And looking back at verse 26,
the last enemy to be destroyed
603
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,120
is death.
Death is destroyed really at the
604
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,080
end.
And so the implication is
605
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,760
there's a period where death
still does exist, but there is
606
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,280
conquering.
This fits naturally with the
607
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,400
millennial reign prior to the
final state.
608
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,720
Be fair to Ommils.
They would say, yeah, I agree
609
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,280
there's an order, but you got to
make it a little more more
610
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,160
tightly.
These long gaps, like they're
611
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,600
they would say you're reading
those long, long gaps into the
612
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:22,840
text.
I would say you might be right
613
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,440
if there wasn't like all this
qualifying stuff at the end.
614
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,720
If it just and.
Then there's already a gap.
615
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,360
So it's like the the thing, it's
not, you know, the precedent has
616
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,960
been set.
So the three markers on this
617
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,000
timeline, Christ's resurrection,
Christ's return, the ends.
618
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,840
And we mentioned gaps between
this.
619
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:44,600
So anyway, that's First
Corinthians 15 'cause I think
620
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,160
that is hotly contested.
Very briefly running through
621
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:53,240
some other passages that I think
are pertinent, Luke 1911 through
622
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,320
27.
We probably don't have time to
623
00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,160
read the whole passage, but if
you want to read verse 11 while
624
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:04,000
you're turning there, this is
like the parable of the 10
625
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,480
talents, the 10 Minas.
Some did well, some did poorly
626
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,320
with what they were given.
Very familiar story.
627
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,760
Go ahead and read verse 11.
While they were listening to
628
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,960
these things, Jesus went on to
tell a parable because he was
629
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,840
near Jerusalem and they supposed
that the Kingdom of God was
630
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,920
going to appear immediately.
Great, great.
631
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,120
So what's the reason he's hey,
think about it.
632
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,720
Why is he telling the story?
Because they supposed that the
633
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,720
Kingdom of God was going to
appear immediately.
634
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,240
He wants to correct this
misguided thinking, and he's
635
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,360
gonna go on and kind of tell the
story about a nobleman who went
636
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,720
to another country far away to
receive a Kingdom and then
637
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:42,600
return with power to reign.
Go ahead and read verse 13.
638
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,080
And he called ten of his slaves
and gave them 10 Minas and said
639
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,240
to them, do business with this
until I come back.
640
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,760
Great.
So we look at this and I think
641
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,120
the implication, not that we're
deriving all of our theology for
642
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,080
this, but the fullness of the
Kingdom won't come immediately,
643
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:02,480
but will come after the king has
gone away and returns.
644
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,160
And when it does, those who are
faithful will be rewarded in
645
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,440
reigning with him.
I think we see some of these
646
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,080
peril.
It's not that I'm basing my
647
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,360
whole end times on this, but I
think some of these gospel
648
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,160
accounts really mesh well.
Jesus told it for a reason.
649
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,600
Yeah, and the reason was they
thought the Kingdom was coming
650
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,040
right away.
And that this isn't just a
651
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,960
narrative where we see, you
know, Jairus doing something.
652
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,680
This is actually Jesus teaching.
He's teaching in a parable.
653
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,280
So we got to be careful, but but
it's not for nothing.
654
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,760
It's yeah, exactly.
That's I really appreciate a lot
655
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,480
of what Omil says in Part I
there.
656
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,160
I really want to believe Omil.
A lot of times all the cool kids
657
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,000
are doing it, but it's like at
some level you make everything
658
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,200
mean nothing.
And I'm exaggerate.
659
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,160
I don't really think that.
But it's like you really smooth
660
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,760
over a lot where it's like, I
guess we can't know a lot or you
661
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,080
know what I mean.
And that, that's the thing I
662
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,800
wrestle with.
Probably the will.
663
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Our beards get better.
I I don't mind us.
664
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,320
If if we become omil.
Probably that's what's holding
665
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,280
me back.
It's so patchy, 'cause I'm off
666
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,440
mill.
Can you turn to Daniel chapter
667
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,720
12 while you're turning there?
We talked about Revelation 20
668
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,240
has a category.
It's explicit, the two
669
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,720
resurrections.
First Corinthians 15 has a
670
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,160
category, at least to work with,
where you can see two
671
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,240
resurrections happening.
I want to make the argument we
672
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,000
also see this in the book.
I know that's right you.
673
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,320
Wouldn't expect this.
Go go ahead, read chapter 12,
674
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,280
verse 2.
Verse 2.
675
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,920
Many of those who sleep in the
dust of the ground will awake
676
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:38,120
these to everlasting life, but
though the others to disgrace
677
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,280
and everlasting contempt.
So, so I don't you can tell me
678
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,320
if I'm reading into the text
here.
679
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,800
This comes from Fred Zaspel's
essay This word in verse 2.
680
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,400
Many of those who sleep in the
dust of the earth shall awake
681
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,400
would imply that not everyone
will be resurrection.
682
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,240
There's a subset of all.
If many are being resurrected,
683
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,520
the Day of Resurrection is a
partial one that's mentioned
684
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,040
there.
Yes, and so would he.
685
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,200
Is he just making the
distinction between the
686
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,640
resurrection of the living and
the resurrection of the dead?
687
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,360
Or is he even making a
distinction between early
688
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:13,760
resurrection of living and late?
Because I've often said I feel
689
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:19,120
like that is the weakest part in
It's not.
690
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,960
Explicit.
You because it's like what
691
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,880
happens to someone who gets
saved during the millennial?
692
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,080
Do they have to die and then
they immediately pop up?
693
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,440
That's that's a little weird.
That that is.
694
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,159
That is also we don't know how
that.
695
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:30,199
Works.
I would say that's the weakest
696
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:31,159
part too.
It doesn't.
697
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,840
It's hard to conceptualize that
and just kind of think back to
698
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,679
perspective 15.
It's like progressive, but it
699
00:34:37,679 --> 00:34:38,199
is.
Weird.
700
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,159
Maybe there'll be someone who
says, I, I revealed to you a
701
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:43,920
mystery.
Behold, this wasn't known.
702
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,600
And now we do know how it's
going to work.
703
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,639
Yeah, maybe something like that.
Yeah, so you're right.
704
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:50,000
So I don't know if he's really
breaking up into all that.
705
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,080
He's just making the point.
Hey, there is there, there are
706
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,440
multiple places that talk about
multiple resurrections.
707
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,960
You can't just always flatten
everything out.
708
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,280
There at least are places where,
you know, what's, what's the
709
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,040
Angel talking about here?
I don't know exactly, you know.
710
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Well, even if you you just take
Revelation 20 as a
711
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,880
recapitulation, it still says
there's a break between the
712
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,360
different resurrections.
No, that that that I think
713
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:11,400
you're right.
Probably the most clear.
714
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,800
And then the lastly, I'll talk
about Philippians 3 verse 11.
715
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,840
If we're familiar with
Philippians 3, Paul's talking
716
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,720
about all these earthly
credentials.
717
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:22,000
He's the best of the best, but
ultimately these count for
718
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,920
nothing.
And the end of this big long
719
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,560
paragraph verse 11's, Paul
writes that by any means
720
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,640
possible I may attain the
resurrection from the dead.
721
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,200
There were just one
resurrection.
722
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,560
Weird just to say resurrection
of the dead.
723
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,880
Like why not just say
resurrection more?
724
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,880
And if you look at the literal
Greek, I'm relying on Zaspol
725
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,720
again here, he says it almost
says the out resurrection out of
726
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:49,400
the dead, meaning that Paul
anticipates A selective
727
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,000
resurrection, what he'll be
taken out from again, which
728
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:53,880
resurrection you're talking
about.
729
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,200
It just gives a category of it's
not weird to think that there
730
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:03,480
will be multiple resurrections.
So anyway, that that is the most
731
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,360
of what I wanted to say.
Oh man, we still have more
732
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,480
Michael.
I'm trying to work a way like
733
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,400
fast through this.
So what let's do this.
734
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,800
Let's talk about this weak spot.
We'll Scroll down to death still
735
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,840
exists during the Millennium.
We talked about first
736
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,240
Corinthians 15.
So I'll keep scrolling and let's
737
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,880
let's.
Go to.
738
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,920
That's the.
Last, there's a progressive
739
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,240
until all the defendant enemies
are defeated.
740
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,920
So I think it can fit into there
also.
741
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,360
I I think what you have to do,
if we look at a passage like
742
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,400
Isaiah 11/6 through 9, the wolf
shall dwell with the lamb, but
743
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,120
the earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the Lord, We read
744
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,200
in Isaiah 65.
No more shall there be an infant
745
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,920
who lives but a few days, or an
old man who does not fill out
746
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,400
his days.
It's weird 'cause there is some
747
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,400
it it seems like not well.
Now someone who dies at a 100
748
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,320
will be considered like, you
know.
749
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,960
A young man or whatever, or yeah
or yeah.
750
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,120
It's weird because it doesn't
seem like here and now.
751
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,120
It doesn't seem like the eternal
state.
752
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,360
It does seem like some mix in
the middle.
753
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,240
I know it's prop.
You don't want to base
754
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:13,760
everything on Isaiah, but
there's a lot of Isaiah 53 says
755
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,640
a lot.
Or you know, like I I can feel
756
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,000
pretty confident about some
things in Isaiah.
757
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,080
Another passage is found in
Psalm 72.
758
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,840
Seven through 8 says in his
days, death is cut off.
759
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,840
We should let's let's turn,
let's turn to Psalm 72.
760
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:36,880
It kind of echoes some of this
stuff that we read in Isaiah
761
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,360
where it's like, it's a weird
category.
762
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:44,040
It's not like the here and now,
but it seems like it.
763
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:48,480
It shouldn't be the eternal stay
either.
764
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,800
I don't know if you want to scan
through here, Michael, and see
765
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,440
what I'm talking about.
Or maybe I'm going crazy and I
766
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,760
just wrote down this reference
out of nothing but it seems.
767
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,960
It says in his days may the
righteous flourish in the
768
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,200
abundance of peace till the moon
is no more.
769
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,960
May he also rule from sea to sea
and from the river to the ends
770
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,880
of the earth.
So you're talking about like
771
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,480
that, that those ideas of him
reigning a long, long time
772
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:21,000
because the moon till the moon.
Is no more let's see if I can
773
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,440
find what I'm looking at this.
Yeah yeah, exactly The mendency
774
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,160
to sea yeah, I I think you're
right.
775
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,600
Everyone fall down before him.
He deliver.
776
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,360
Yeah, he delivers.
The needy, the poor and him have
777
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,960
no helper.
Yeah, he's ruling and it.
778
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:39,880
And it seems like there are
there's still violence, there's
779
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,320
still oppression.
There's these things that seem
780
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,920
strange that maybe he's
eradicating, you know what I
781
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,520
mean?
That seem in the same vein of
782
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,440
Isaiah.
Right.
783
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,240
He will rescue their life from
oppression and violence, and
784
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:53,120
their blood will be precious in
his sight.
785
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,440
So it sounds like maybe there
are deaths, but then he
786
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,880
eventually.
Yeah, deaths.
787
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,000
Yeah, there it's like, again,
this weird in between to again,
788
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,120
it's a song.
You don't base your whole
789
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,040
theology on this one chapter,
but there's multiple places I
790
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,600
think.
It seems in concert with other
791
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,600
verses, yeah.
Wonderful.
792
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:13,280
That's exactly right.
And then the last piece I want
793
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,760
to hit on is let it's called
historical premill for a reason.
794
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,320
We got some historical
backgrounds of historic
795
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,200
premillennialism.
And I think this this isn't
796
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:23,120
everything.
You don't want to base
797
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,400
everything on church history,
but it ain't nothing.
798
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,040
Adjective historic.
Is it like a young Earth
799
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,600
creationist saying, well, I am a
biblical creationist?
800
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,280
Is that is it kind of the same
thing?
801
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, this is where they get it.
802
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,320
People where there's
documentation of of pre mill and
803
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,080
they would say their pre mill
there was, you know, they would
804
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,920
write of a literal millennial
Kingdom.
805
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,680
People like Polycarp, people
like Papias.
806
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,920
What's important about them is
that you know.
807
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,960
Pretty close to the.
The guy who wrote Revelation.
808
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,960
The.
Guy who wrote about Revelation
809
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,280
20 I mean so if if they were
parroting things hopefully that
810
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,160
that John would believe I mean
and.
811
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,640
Maybe they weren't no guys.
Y'all really misunderstood John,
812
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,320
he told me.
This is We're already in the
813
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,720
Kingdom right now, yeah.
It it it would it's kind of
814
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,920
interesting that their view was
a pre millennial view.
815
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,480
Papis has a quote that he's
carrying on the words of Andrew,
816
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,280
Phillip, Peter Thomas and other
disciples.
817
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,320
He's carrying on their cheating.
I mean their teaching.
818
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,680
Irenaeus origin, Tatulia and
Justin Martyr, all historic pre
819
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,480
mill.
Very interesting.
820
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,320
Not that that's a slam dunk
argument, but you're hard
821
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,320
pressed to find many before the
year 350 AD that believed
822
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,080
anything else besides a pre mill
view.
823
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,600
That's not everything, but it's
not nothing. 1st 300 years
824
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,320
nearly universal in the church.
The didoky assumes historic pre
825
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,880
mill and then a lot of these
early Christian writers.
826
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,920
The shift where everything
changes.
827
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,000
Augustine.
Man, that the guy who?
828
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,520
That that pesky Augustine.
Who got the grass named after
829
00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:00,080
him?
Exactly, he it originally was
830
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,320
historic pre mill and made this
move towards Ahmil.
831
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,760
He kind of considered pre mill
too materialistic Killianism
832
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,400
there there.
I think there were people in
833
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,160
that day that were very
hedonistic.
834
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,800
It's like all about the
prosperity and less about the
835
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,960
savior.
Like it kind of and I think some
836
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:17,760
of that shifted to the
spiritualizing.
837
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,680
It was a better way to go where
honestly pre mill was on the
838
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,200
decline.
He kind of set the tone, if you
839
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,560
can imagine.
So if we lived in 400 in the 4th
840
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,880
century, yeah, we could say
stuff like, you know, the
841
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:35,280
majority of the church, the
history of the church has held
842
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,480
this belief.
And now this is new.
843
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,000
It's brand new, it's
perspective.
844
00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:44,840
And we don't trust anything
that's new 'cause if it's, if
845
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:45,960
it's new, it's probably not.
It's.
846
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,760
Probably, yeah.
And and I, I, I think so at 431,
847
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,880
a little bit after this, there's
the Council of Ephesus.
848
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,200
You know, the emphasis I think
was on the on Christ, like many
849
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,800
of these early councils were.
And I think some of the pre
850
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,840
mills that had it'd been the
popular thought and there were
851
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,080
some pre mill that were de
emphasizing maybe the divinity
852
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:05,760
of Christ and focusing on his
human nature.
853
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:06,960
I think there was some of that
going on.
854
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,320
And so I think pre mill kind of
got caught in the crossfire
855
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,360
where I don't think it was
officially banned from the
856
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,040
research I've done, but it was
heavily discouraged.
857
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,120
I think it later was officially
banned by the Catholic Church,
858
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:20,520
which honestly, this is I'm
stealing this from Michael
859
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,280
Schultz.
The Catholics are saying no.
860
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,080
I'm saying as a reformer, I'm
saying this is I'm on the right
861
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,400
track.
You know what to what not to
862
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,160
believe by knowing what the
Catholics believe.
863
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:34,400
The Roman Catholics just just
the one of the 24.
864
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,920
Sorry.
And so all that to say, when
865
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,680
Council of Ephesus really
discouraged, it really fell out
866
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,640
of favor for for like 1000 years
where that just wasn't even an
867
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,280
option really.
And this is great.
868
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,000
This is great.
What Michael Schultz's
869
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,560
presentation he talks about
William Tris.
870
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,200
He was the president over the
construction of the Westminster
871
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,760
Confession pre millennial.
That's weird.
872
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,120
He's like you're welcome.
Presbyterians for the
873
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,480
Westminster confession 1689.
Largely based on the Westminster
874
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,760
confession of faith.
Francis Schaeffer historic pre
875
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,400
mill.
You're looking for AI always
876
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:10,360
mess up how to spell the
Scottish guy's name that has
877
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,640
like the Bible plan named after
him.
878
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,760
The Meshayan.
Do you know what I'm saying?
879
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:15,520
I, I, Yeah, I'm.
Not sure where you are.
880
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,480
Sorry, I'm just like Cotton
Mather.
881
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:19,560
Yeah.
What's the guy's name?
882
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,400
I don't know.
He has this, like, great Bible
883
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:24,520
plan where you read a ton of the
Bible.
884
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,280
I don't know.
Puritans.
885
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,960
John Bunyan, Cotton Mather,
Thomas Goodwin.
886
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:31,480
Anglicans.
JC Riley.
887
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,800
You've heard of this?
Good Anglican Baptist.
888
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:35,640
John Gill, Charles Spurgeon,
Benjamin Keach.
889
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,480
Keach's Catechism.
Both Wesley brothers.
890
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,120
Historic. 3 mill we're getting.
We're getting all the all the
891
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,200
angles here.
Contemporary.
892
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,480
We've probably talked about this
before.
893
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,080
John Piper, Wayne Grudem, DA
Carson, Al Mohler, you know,
894
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,480
it's not like, you know, I think
the trajectory now is like, oh,
895
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,160
awe, mill church history, these
kind of things.
896
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:57,440
But I think historic pre mill
does have a good foundation.
897
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,480
It doesn't prove it's correct by
any means, but I think it shows
898
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,080
that there are historical roots
to it before some of the more
899
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,920
theological systems develops.
George L Milat, I've mentioned
900
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:09,600
to him a lot.
He talks about this already.
901
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,320
Not yet paradigm.
So anyway that that's what I
902
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:20,240
wanted to cover so do.
You think, but you do you do.
903
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,640
So I guess I would I would agree
with with everything you said
904
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,640
here as a progressive dyspie.
Now maybe some some of your
905
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,320
hardline dyspies wouldn't.
And I would just add, Jesus is a
906
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:37,320
Jew and he's going to reign from
his Jewish land, the whole world
907
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:43,800
and the Jews and Israel's
ethnically one people underneath
908
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,880
him, right?
Paul would say there's no more,
909
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,520
you know, spiritual Israel
reigns with him.
910
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,400
Yeah, I'm, I'm a Jew.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got
911
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:54,920
ya.
OK, Alright.
912
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,920
I, I think, I think there is
more continuity than
913
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,520
discontinuity with all these
systems, honestly.
914
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:05,520
Like, you know, more so than
maybe there used to be some
915
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,280
weaknesses.
We talked about some of this I I
916
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,560
think a weakness of historic
premium.
917
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,560
I think it is less systematic.
It doesn't tie everything into a
918
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,960
nice tight system.
I do think it's more expository
919
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,360
than systematic, because what
you're.
920
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,240
Saying is it takes scripture
seriously.
921
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:22,280
It takes Scripture seriously.
Yeah, that's the nice way to
922
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,680
start saying it.
Timeline questions.
923
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,800
I think you know what happens
during the Millennium.
924
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:28,680
I can't answer those who is
there.
925
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,080
How does you know all these
things are are are tricky
926
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,320
anyway?
Why is there 1000 in your face
927
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,360
before the final state?
I just think it's there because
928
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,000
that's what the text says.
Like, you know, I don't have
929
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,320
like good reasoning for it.
That that's that's it.
930
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,120
There is something I'll talk
with you offline.
931
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,320
It's it's probably not worth
doing its own episode.
932
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,480
But I came across in researching
and listening that I don't know
933
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,960
if you've come across this.
It's called new creation
934
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:59,360
Millennium millennialism.
It's like an offshoot of this.
935
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,520
It's kind of like what you were
talking about with like posts.
936
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,880
It's kind of like I'm going to
butcher because I haven't
937
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,280
studied enough.
But it's kind of like, you see,
938
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,840
like I think even John Gill or
some of these Baptists are
939
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,600
almost like there's a Millennium
that usher.
940
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,440
It's almost like you usher in
the new heavens and the new
941
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,960
earth, versus it's like it's
more of a bleeding together.
942
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:23,080
Yeah, I, I, I, I think I have
heard someone say something that
943
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,760
they did believe, like there's
going to be like a new creation
944
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,680
that he reigns from.
Yeah, it's.
945
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,840
It's different.
It's a little.
946
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:35,000
It's a little different poity
toity, but to try to distinguish
947
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,560
that because heaven is used so
many different ways in the
948
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,920
Bible.
I just mean when I say Escaton,
949
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,760
I just mean that final end
heaven state, you know the.
950
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,480
That's great.
Whatever the end is.
951
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:48,400
Doug Wilson, post millennialist,
has this great, you know, you
952
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,880
know that him, this world is not
my home, I'm just a passing
953
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:52,640
through.
He rewrote.
954
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,280
He's like, heaven's not my home,
I'm just a passing through.
955
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,600
That's great.
You know, You know, it's
956
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,280
provocative, gets you thinking
like, you know, 'cause that
957
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:00,760
wouldn't like rock people's
world, right?
958
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,040
You know what I mean?
Like heaven's not your home.
959
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,400
Yeah, just the intermediate
state.
960
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,920
You know, I'm trying to, I'm
moving on to different.
961
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,200
I would say this, the state that
my mom is in is intermediate,
962
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,880
right?
Yeah, exactly.
963
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,880
And that's what Paul would say.
That's what they're not all
964
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:14,560
going to sleep.
They're going to rise the
965
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,760
twinkling of an eye, and then
they will be forever changed.
966
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:21,120
If that's not Speaking of the
resurrection, what is?
967
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,080
Because my mom's without her
body right now.
968
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:24,040
That's right.
That's right.
969
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,800
It's not, not the state.
Yeah, exactly.
970
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,040
Yeah, exactly right.
Well, good.
971
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,000
We can you want to transition to
the final take?
972
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:33,680
Have we took enough airtime?
I think so.
973
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,120
I mean we this will be I'm
sorry.
974
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,160
You give me a hard time about
how long my episodes are and the
975
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,320
apologetic stuff off camera.
He was like my computer just
976
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:43,960
don't want to listen to that
stuff for that long.
977
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:51,160
But so how many more?
So, sake sake soccer coach
978
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,760
Shortenaire?
How many more games do that?
979
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,280
How many more games?
Two more games, we got Porter
980
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,400
Gout on Thursday and then Camden
Military.
981
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,280
You ever play Camden Military?
No, yeah, that's good.
982
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,800
Yeah, yeah.
We all have a crazy to me, like
983
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,560
in football, American football.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
984
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,360
The public schools seem to be
generally better than us.
985
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:20,280
I guess they have more hopes to
draw from.
986
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:24,400
But my experience with both
volleyball and association
987
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:29,000
football, AKA soccer, that we're
we have been better than the
988
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,160
public schools.
I don't know.
989
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,920
So you may have a Do y'all know
how good they are?
990
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,680
Or no, I, I don't know.
And JV it's so you can't tell if
991
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,520
people get pulled up to varsity
'cause there's injury.
992
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,960
It's like it's wildly different.
From what you know if is it
993
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,040
gonna be like a middle school
game or is it gonna be.
994
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:44,360
AI hope it's a middle school
game.
995
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,000
That would be great.
I think to your point, I think
996
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,320
unfortunately soccer in the
United States for the most part
997
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:53,440
is pay to play or if you have
money, you'll play club and
998
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,960
therefore be good versus
basketball or football.
999
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,480
I think there's a lot more
avenues where you're trying to
1000
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,200
pick talent or everyone can
play.
1001
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,680
And so I think soccer is not
quite there where it's a bunch
1002
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:07,200
of maybe not necessarily your
most athletic kids getting
1003
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,240
opportunities, but the people
who can play Four Seasons a year
1004
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:11,680
and pay 3000 bucks a year for
club.
1005
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:12,840
And it's like he's doing this
you.
1006
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,880
Know I saw a real recently that
said something like just to hit
1007
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:20,360
you with reality, soccer
parents, recruiters are not
1008
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,760
looking at high school games.
They're going to club games.
1009
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,360
I'm like, well.
Yeah, it's so interesting.
1010
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,040
It's it's so we have there's a
similar problem.
1011
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:28,440
I think there's more access in
basketball.
1012
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,360
Not that we need to get on this
rabbit trail, but man, AAU
1013
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,080
compared to school, it's like it
has totally like messed
1014
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,360
everything up and everything is
so like about getting you
1015
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,880
recruited and stuff.
You just jump from team to team.
1016
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,440
It's harder to do that school to
school.
1017
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,440
It is like not a good system.
It's like the and the clubs,
1018
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,080
they make money for me paying a
ton of money to them.
1019
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,880
So it's like they're gonna, you
know, try to make you look good
1020
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,000
if you're paying.
It's it's where a school might
1021
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,200
be more like we're playing a
team sport, playing the right
1022
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,040
way.
And it's like, but that's not
1023
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,160
gonna get you the highlights and
that kind of thing.
1024
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,640
But anyway, two more games.
Yeah, yeah.
1025
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,000
Had the girls varsity had a
disappointing loss last night to
1026
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,360
Pinewood man to all of our
Pinewood listeners.
1027
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,280
Yeah, we probably have a lot.
I've got a couple of patients.
1028
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,080
Their grandkids go to Pinewood,
so I'm sure they're.
1029
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:12,760
Yeah.
There you go.
1030
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,560
But you know, they're rival.
I just like I, I, it's like one
1031
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:18,120
of those people you love to
hate.
1032
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,040
You want to beat them like.
On the other side of Somerville,
1033
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,280
it's like, it's like the perfect
rivalry.
1034
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,360
It's like the other side of
their tracks type of thing, but
1035
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,640
the other side of Somerville.
Yeah, they may actually be on
1036
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,600
another side of the tracks, but
anyway, literally.
1037
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:36,880
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but yeah, was talking to
1038
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,720
Karis afterwards and she made
the statement, you know, not
1039
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:44,600
that this is our first loss and
and I think I told you, she's
1040
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,920
averaging 23 saves a game.
Man, that's insane.
1041
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,480
That's.
A lot of action, but last night
1042
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,480
she's like, this is the first
game where like even though
1043
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,720
we've she was, she said previous
games, even though we've lost, I
1044
00:50:55,720 --> 00:50:58,880
can always say I felt like I had
a good game and she didn't feel
1045
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,480
like that.
And that's tough 'cause when
1046
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,960
you're the goalie, a mistake
literally means a point on the
1047
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:09,040
board where and any almost any
other position you can make
1048
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,960
mistakes all night.
It's so true.
1049
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,440
And like at goalie, if you were
like, there is a, there's a big
1050
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,600
difference like you should make
routine saves.
1051
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,840
Or it's like if you're in
midfield, you might make like
1052
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,720
when I'm playing and I'm locked
in, I'm making passes, I might
1053
00:51:25,720 --> 00:51:27,600
hit like 80% of my passes,
right?
1054
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:29,920
But you it's like routine.
Different.
1055
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,800
Yeah, it's exactly on the.
Especially on those ones I kind
1056
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,600
of get to, not really.
Now, some of these are
1057
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,160
impossible, but it's like, even
if you just like you should have
1058
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,640
got to it, it's just like it
looks bad even though no one's
1059
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:42,600
going to be 100%, you know?
Right.
1060
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:44,720
Yeah, it's tough.
It's a tough, tough place to
1061
00:51:44,720 --> 00:51:49,920
play.
So yeah. 23 saves a game.
1062
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,160
Yeah, that's that's all it says.
How did how did playoffs and
1063
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:57,280
stuff work for?
Well, you know the this is the
1064
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:02,680
first year maybe ever that the
girls are going to make
1065
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,520
playoffs.
I'm really excited one other
1066
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,880
time before, but it's been
weird.
1067
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,480
Like we've been in the situation
where like they're seven teams
1068
00:52:10,720 --> 00:52:14,000
in our and you just have to be
not the last team in order to
1069
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,640
make playoffs.
So I think maybe there was one
1070
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:21,760
year when maybe when Chloe was a
junior or sophomore, they made
1071
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:23,240
playoffs.
Like they went to one game and
1072
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,400
lost.
But I I don't know.
1073
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:26,400
We haven't done it.
We haven't.
1074
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,440
Done a lot.
I was talking to Paul today and
1075
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,480
Paul was like, they're not going
to go to playoffs.
1076
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,400
But I think like varsity guys
might have made playoffs because
1077
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:38,920
of the because of what you're
saying, the numbers Like I think
1078
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,840
in our region or our area,
whatever the terminology is,
1079
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,680
like everyone goes to playoffs
for the guys athletes maybe.
1080
00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:47,080
I don't know, right?
So he's saying we by the
1081
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:48,280
numbers, we made it, but we're
not going.
1082
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,320
To go, but we're not going to
travel 2 hours to.
1083
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:52,280
Just go lose.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1084
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:55,040
In a, In a like against the
number one seed or something,
1085
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:56,560
you know what I mean?
Because they would be on the
1086
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,160
lower end, but it's like
interesting.
1087
00:52:58,160 --> 00:52:59,360
It's like, oh, that that is.
Interesting.
1088
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:04,480
I think we're like, I think
it's, I had to look, but like
1089
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:09,960
Porter Pinewood and probably
Ashley Hall are the top.
1090
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:12,040
So we're probably around 5th.
Right next.
1091
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 4th or 5th in
the region, Maybe 6th somewhere
1092
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:21,760
around there where we beat PCA
and First Baptist, both of them
1093
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,080
on both.
Are home and away.
1094
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:27,840
So that is, yeah, that's good.
So we're at least, you know, not
1095
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,480
the bottom, which is nice.
Yeah, that's, that's very
1096
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:31,960
exciting.
It's cool.
1097
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,440
I've caught a couple, I've
caught a lot of PK games between
1098
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:36,120
JV and Marsh.
They like either coming out of
1099
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,640
practice or we're playing next
or they, you know, whatever.
1100
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,120
So that's been and I think
they've all gone positive that
1101
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,360
I've seen on all of them.
It's pretty cool.
1102
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,640
Yeah, I think the trajectory is
really good for.
1103
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,600
And.
And they got this new announcer
1104
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:47,880
and it's just.
Like.
1105
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:51,760
Crushing it.
Crushing it I well, both my
1106
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,480
daughters, they, I don't know if
it's because I'm, it's just the
1107
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,240
ick factor, because I'm their
father.
1108
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,760
And if it was like some other
father, they wouldn't really
1109
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:00,560
care 'cause they could just
write it off.
1110
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,640
But Julie came to me and she's
like, yeah, some of the girls
1111
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,920
don't like the songs you play.
And I'm like, I'm not playing
1112
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,080
them, especially maybe in warm
ups.
1113
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,360
I'm playing them for the ladies.
And I try to find something.
1114
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,120
They want warm ups when the fans
aren't there.
1115
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,440
But when it's like halftime or
something, I'm not.
1116
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:16,840
I'm playing for the people in
the stands.
1117
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,560
That's right.
And then we were, yeah, I was
1118
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,160
playing Sweet Caroline.
I I heard it.
1119
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,480
We were practicing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1120
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:23,760
And I had them sing along with
it.
1121
00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,840
That's great.
And that's so funny.
1122
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,240
Another coach caught Karis's
face when I said, all right,
1123
00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:31,000
let's, let's hear you sing
along.
1124
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,880
She was like, she just kind of
wilted.
1125
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,880
But the ref during the halftime
was like getting into it, like
1126
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,640
he was recording us singing.
And he really.
1127
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,240
Actually, we saw the ref like we
were practicing, like the ref is
1128
00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:46,120
going crazy, like I missed it,
but I bet that's what they were.
1129
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,000
Talking about yeah, yeah.
He was like, you know, so the
1130
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,240
adults and the ref, we were
enjoying it.
1131
00:54:52,240 --> 00:54:55,560
Sorry.
You're bored on a Thursday night
1132
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:57,880
coming over to the Northwood for
the halftime show, you know.
1133
00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:00,640
We were we were having a good
time.
1134
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:02,040
So I love it.
Oh, that's I.
1135
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:03,520
Ended with Dusty Sleigh's
phrase.
1136
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,680
We're having a good time.
It's just naturally coming out.
1137
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,640
It's a good place to wrap it up.
Historic pre mill.
1138
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,160
That's a wrap.
That's our take.
1139
