End Times 101: Postmillennialism
Episode 2.101
Postmillennialism: Hope for Gospel Victory
In this episode of End Times 101, Michael and Zach explore postmillennialism—a view that sees the kingdom of God expanding throughout history as the gospel transforms individuals, cultures, and nations prior to Christ’s return.
The discussion walks through key passages such as the Great Commission, Psalm 110, and Habakkuk 2, highlighting the expectation that Christ is already reigning and that His kingdom will grow progressively through the work of the Church. Rather than anticipating decline, this view emphasizes long-term gospel influence shaping society, leading to a period of widespread righteousness often described as a “golden age.”
Listeners are guided through the basic timeline of postmillennialism, its historical development from the Puritans to modern advocates, and the practical implications of a theology that prioritizes engagement, discipleship, and cultural impact. The episode also addresses common challenges, including how this view accounts for suffering, setbacks, and uneven historical progress.
The takeaway is clear: postmillennialism calls believers to active participation in God’s mission, grounded in the confidence that Christ’s kingdom is advancing—and that history ultimately bends toward His victory.

Post mill.
Post Millennial.
2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,800
We we were just talking about
Lucky Charms and if Michael
3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,640
didn't know any better, he
almost looked into a post meal
4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,680
mindset that life couldn't get
better.
5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,480
Chloe's birthday, eating Lucky
Charms, living life good and I
6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,080
if you're thinking post meal to
keep it simple, think hope,
7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,040
think positiveness, hope for
gospel victory.
8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,400
Things are getting better and
better, specifically through the
9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,640
church, Yes.
Prior to the Christ return.
10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,800
We're essentially ushering in
the golden age.
11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,800
With Israel.
With so, so, so big picture
12
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,040
central claim post
millennialism, it teaches that
13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,680
the gospel will gradually
transform the world before
14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,400
Christ returns.
The Kingdom of God is growing.
15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,840
We look at these parables, it's
growing through the church, and
16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,960
history trends towards a golden
age of righteousness, an age of
17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,720
peace, and the age of justice
before the final return of
18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Christ.
And gates are defensive things.
19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,080
There, there, there you go.
Right, and the gates of hell
20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,200
will not prevail, which assumes
that the church is on the
21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,400
offense.
Wow, we're already coming out
22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,840
swinging.
We'll do this.
23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Try to put away your
preconceived motion like oh
24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,080
you're.
That's all in favor.
25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Well, imagine this.
We'll close our eyes.
26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,560
Imagine a world where education,
where the law, where society
27
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,120
perfectly reflects God's
justice, where corruption
28
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080
declines, poverty lessons,
faithfulness to God is what
29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,200
shapes communities.
Post Bill says this, this is
30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,480
this is not a fantasy, but this
is where things are going.
31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,000
It's the trajectory of God's
Kingdom gradually unfolding
32
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
before Christ comes.
And on some level all of us
33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,680
would say that that's where it's
going.
34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,480
They're just saying this is
leading into God, Christ coming
35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,280
back.
So a good question to ask is,
36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,040
you know, where do you see
gospel influence in your city,
37
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960
in your school, in your
workplace?
38
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,480
When you think of this, you
know, hope purpose, this
39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,560
trajectory.
This is this is like prime
40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,360
primary to this view.
This is what is going through
41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,560
every post Mills head.
Has a name.
42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,520
Hey, I love that song all.
Right, all right, so should we
43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,920
take it to the next level?
Let's fire up that twanga music.
44
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,400
From the hearts of the Low
Country in South Carolina.
45
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,720
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next
46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,760
level.
Post mail Let's look at some
47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,160
scriptures that post mail would
think about South a classic
48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,800
Matthew 2818 through 20 what
some what many would call the
49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Great Commission.
Jesus makes says some very, very
50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,960
famous words, gives the church
her marching orders kind of
51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,840
shows us, you know what what we
are to do.
52
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,560
So when you get there, do would
you like to?
53
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Read I have no idea where he is,
but I was on the wrong tab.
54
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,840
I was on the opening tab.
I was like where is he at?
55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,520
And I was like, this is lined
up, yes.
56
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,360
But yes, if I had been on the
right tab, I would have been
57
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,720
here sooner.
And actually I have one of my
58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640
things here because I read it.
So 18 through 20.
59
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,760
You got it.
And Jesus came up and spoke to
60
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:21,080
them saying all authority.
It's like you'd want to break
61
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,000
right into that Parks and
Recreation thing.
62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
She was like, What you may have
heard is some authority, but
63
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,600
what I said is, all authority
has been given to me in heaven
64
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,280
and earth.
Go therefore and make disciples
65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,280
of all the nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father
66
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,400
and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all
67
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,560
that I commanded you.
And lo, I am with you always,
68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,680
even to the end of the age.
Wow.
69
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400
So we're we're called to go and
make disciples and postmills
70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,680
will say, well, they'll at least
emphasize that the church is
71
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,320
tasked with this and this
transforms the world.
72
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Discipleship, Kingdom work.
This is how the world changes.
73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,920
So you think every act that you
teach, every act of mercy, every
74
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,760
act of justice, this is what
gets us to this golden age.
75
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,440
They don't look at passages like
Psalm 110, this messianic Psalm
76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,000
quoted extensively, you know, in
the New Testaments, it's about
77
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,120
Christ reigning, executing
justice.
78
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,880
And they'll say, you know,
Christ's Kingdom is already
79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,320
being established spiritually,
gradually.
80
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,960
This is like where it's going.
And then where are you turning
81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,560
to, Michael?
I didn't know if did you want to
82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,560
read any of Psalm 10, Psalm 110,
or do you just want?
83
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,280
To I I actually I actually do
have it here.
84
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,160
I didn't.
Know if you had wanted to read
85
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:39,280
any of.
That this will sound familiar,
86
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:43,200
the Lord says to my Lord, sit up
my right hand, until I make your
87
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,960
enemies your footstool.
The Lord sends forth from Zion
88
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
your mighty scepter rule in the
midst of your enemies.
89
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,520
Your people will offer
themselves freely on the day of
90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,920
your power and holy garments
from the womb of the morning.
91
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,640
The dew of your youth will be
yours.
92
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,800
The Lord has sworn and won't
change his mind.
93
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320
You are a priest forever after
the order of Melchizedek.
94
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,000
The Lord is at your right hand.
He will shatter kings on the day
95
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520
of His wrath.
He will execute judgment among
96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,560
the nations, filling them with
corpses.
97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,760
He will shatter chiefs over the
white earth.
98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,600
He will drink from the brook.
By the way, therefore, he will
99
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,840
lift up his head.
Habakkuk, 214.
100
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,360
Yeah, for the earth will be
filled with the knowledge of the
101
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,080
glory of the Lord as the waters
cover the sea.
102
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,880
And So what they're going to
say, if the earth will be filled
103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,080
with that, there's a progression
to that.
104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,080
God's Kingdom is going to be
widespread.
105
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,040
Eventually it's going to be
everywhere because how much
106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,120
water covers the sea?
A lot, right?
107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,200
The sea is water.
So it's going to be everywhere.
108
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,040
Christians are part of this
Kingdom expansions.
109
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,400
We won't talk, we'll talk about
this in historic pre mill as
110
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,520
well.
But they'll look at, you know,
111
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,240
Psalm 72 talks about
righteousness, justice, peace
112
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,640
under the King's reign.
Isaiah 11, this peaceful
113
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,280
coexistence of creatures.
Romans 11 talks about this
114
00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:05,640
ultimate fulfillment of God's
plan for all nations and they,
115
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,920
they see this progression where
like a historic pre mill when
116
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,480
they look at Psalm 72, we'll
look at this next time in Isaiah
117
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,560
11 and other passages in Isaiah,
they might see this is a weird
118
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,760
time where things are going
really good.
119
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,440
I think Isaiah would say things
like, you know, a young man will
120
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,480
be 100 years old and no one will
die as an infants and a historic
121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,560
pre mill might look at that and
say, well, that doesn't sound
122
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,720
like the eternal state where
people are dying when they're
123
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680
100.
But it seems like an in between
124
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,280
time.
Or I mean, you know, it seems
125
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:38,680
like maybe this millennial reign
where you're like in this weird
126
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,440
in between because are people
still dying?
127
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,080
You know, and Psalm 72 kind of
says some of these same same
128
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,440
things.
So things to think about where
129
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,800
different systems place emphases
where they are saying, well,
130
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,600
this is where things are going
here and now.
131
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,920
And so maybe we can look at a
sequence, a timeline of events,
132
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,000
try to get our bearings.
So the church age.
133
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,320
Where does it start?
Acts one through 28.
134
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,880
The gospel is spreading from
Jerusalem outward.
135
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
You know your traditional
Baptist would go.
136
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,440
It starts when he calls the
apostles.
137
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:15,720
There you go.
That's that's it.
138
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,560
Yeah, that's that's a, that's a
good point.
139
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,640
These post bills would say that,
you know, Christians are holding
140
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,400
faithfully their discipling
others.
141
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,240
They're having this influence on
culture and and through this,
142
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,600
the Kingdom is growing not only
spiritually but also socially
143
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,120
and morally.
And, and you're going to see
144
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,200
this bleed into education while
on government, culture, media,
145
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,760
economics.
It's not gonna be in some
146
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,400
perfection, gradual.
And and if you're looking back
147
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,640
at America's history, you might
be like this.
148
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,320
This was happening and that's
why most people were post meals
149
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600
at that time.
Yeah, and it's easy to sit here.
150
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,920
You know, I was even thinking
back to our previous episode on
151
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,320
this top topic big, and I was
saying, well, there's a lot of
152
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,640
things going on.
But you know, if you've looked
153
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,800
at Jay Warner Wallace's person
of interest, he goes through how
154
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,040
crazy Christianity has
transformed the world through
155
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:14,240
education, hospitals, science,
the arts, all the things that
156
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
have been changed because of
Christ, and you go, wow, this.
157
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,640
That's good.
Has had a huge impact for the
158
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,560
good.
Hospitals, orphanages, yeah,
159
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,640
technology, all the things.
I love the pushback.
160
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,760
When I like, see pushback,
people are like, well, it's
161
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,720
'cause everyone was Christians
or they're like, or, you know,
162
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,520
have you seen this kind of
thing?
163
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,040
Like they're like, well, no one
was not a Christian.
164
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,960
There were places that everyone
wasn't a Christian.
165
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,840
And it wasn't so.
Great.
166
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,520
And they weren't doing those
things, so there you go.
167
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:42,039
So we'll probably talk about
this, but you know, Puritans,
168
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,240
Jonathan Edwards, you can
imagine you're coming to, you
169
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,080
know, you're in this new world
and you're like, wow, we have
170
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,880
like our, you know, our
religion, like everything we're
171
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,120
we're building everything up.
This is kind of a golden age
172
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,480
where you would start to see
some of that a little bit.
173
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,440
And really in their version of
the golden age would be the
174
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,160
virtually all nations
experiencing significant gospel
175
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,680
influence, this peace, this
justice, godliness or
176
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,160
flourishing.
I'm deaf and sin or not absent,
177
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,560
still presence, but restrained
through Christ's reign.
178
00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,240
And this really is prep,
preparation for Christ, visible
179
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,640
return.
And then after this, we're
180
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,040
getting into this golden age,
Christ will return, visible,
181
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,280
public, glorious believers
resurrected, final judgement to
182
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,640
follow.
And we have this final
183
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,760
judgement, this new heavens and
new earth.
184
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,840
And so we see it's hopeful,
active engagements, not
185
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,520
escapism.
And you can kind of see the
186
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,560
outworkings of it.
I think it's easier in a pre
187
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:40,520
meal context to be escapist.
I'm going to withdraw from the
188
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,160
world.
I don't like the way schools are
189
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,000
going.
I'm going to homeschool all my
190
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,280
kids.
I don't think that's a bad
191
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,240
thing.
But it's like, you know, public
192
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,960
schools are probably getting
worse and worse the more
193
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,760
Christians are like I'm gonna
have I'm not gonna talk to
194
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,200
school boards.
I'm gonna like totally isolate
195
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,080
versus like, hey, we're gonna if
you go to a place like Moscow,
196
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,280
ID Doug Wilson post millennial
like that, that whole city is
197
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,960
like taking on.
We're gonna transform the city
198
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,400
'cause they are post minded and
it's like everything just looks
199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,760
like different.
Like they have like their own
200
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,920
coffee shops and you know, it's
like they're trying to really
201
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,280
take over in that way.
Also, Doug Wilson's big
202
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,600
proponent of homeschool stuff.
He's trying through like, you
203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,480
know, these classical
conversations and homeschool
204
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,760
things to really give a good
product and, and change.
205
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,840
You can see the timeline.
Not that much different from
206
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,840
AMIL really.
The emphasis is just on the
207
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,400
trajectory is what ushers in
Christ's returns getting
208
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,000
positive.
But there still is 1000 year
209
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,240
reign of Christ physically
bodily on earth for post meal,
210
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:44,920
right?
I I.
211
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Don't think so.
I I don't think there's.
212
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,600
You don't think so?
I don't think.
213
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,520
So.
So it's still a spiritual reign
214
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,680
right now.
And then we, then Jesus, Boom.
215
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,240
And then boom, when Christ
returns, it is like believers
216
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080
are erected final judgment, new
creation, new heavens and new
217
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,720
earth.
Where I think and I I might have
218
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,160
put this, we'll we'll talk about
the historical development, but
219
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,640
I think I don't know when when
this happened, but I don't I
220
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,840
think at some point there was no
such thing as post mill and AW
221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,200
mill.
It was all it was everything was
222
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,440
post mill.
There was no AW mill and so it
223
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,760
was hard to like tease out a few
things.
224
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,080
So while you're.
Yeah, I just want to check.
225
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,840
Looking up some stuff that's
good, I'll go through some
226
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,880
historical development.
Really at its high point in the
227
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Puritan era, we mentioned
Jonathan Edwards believed that
228
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,160
widespread spiritual revival
would perceive Christ's return.
229
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,720
And so the Puritans, they often
envision things like a society
230
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,800
that would be in a lockstep with
God's law, moral reform across
231
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,000
the nation's, the culture would
really be in line with these
232
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Kingdom principles.
And so you'll look at 18th
233
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,600
century New England, the
literacy, the missions, the law
234
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,200
reform seen as a partial Kingdom
advance.
235
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720
We mentioned modern Doug Wilson.
He's like the big guy there,
236
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,200
Kenneth Gentry.
And most see, you know, media
237
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,160
education, society.
We're we're transforming all
238
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:10,840
these things.
So what?
239
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,960
What'd we find?
Let's get some good.
240
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160
Yeah, I hate this name.
Yeah, yeah.
241
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,920
Why would?
You call yourself POST.
242
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,200
It's very similar.
If you don't believe in an
243
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,080
actual millennial reign, y'all
gotta fix that name.
244
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,640
It's really I'm like, I have a
visceral reaction to this.
245
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,120
So it's like Christ comes after
the Millennium, which is really
246
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,200
the golden age, which again,
it's spiritualized because it
247
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,720
can't be 1000 years 'cause we're
already 2 in year 2000 and, you
248
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,120
know, 26.
So you think about that and it
249
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,480
really does change the way.
On their view, the mill is
250
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:45,320
right.
It's the same as.
251
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,880
I'm kind of Yeah, it's kind of
the same.
252
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,240
It's just going very positive.
We're ushering in a golden age,
253
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,960
so we're in it now.
Or maybe we're gonna come into
254
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,520
it.
It might be a little more hazy
255
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,080
when we when we hit that.
So very similar.
256
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,200
And that's why we were doing
these two first, because it's
257
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:04,880
more the more simple ones.
It kinda breaks it down like
258
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,320
this.
I also, I don't know if we're
259
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,160
gonna get to it, but they would
look at a lot of the parables in
260
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,040
Matthew, these Kingdom parables,
the mustard seed that grows,
261
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,480
starts small but becomes the
largest.
262
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,880
You know, you look at all these
parables and there's this like
263
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,200
trajectory and they would say,
well, that's gotta that, that
264
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,760
that's what's happened.
The gospel does have effects, so
265
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,400
it's very hopeful, very
positive.
266
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,320
If you take away anything, you
think about how God's Kingdom
267
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,440
reshapes society before Christ
returns, kind of leading up
268
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,200
preparing the way for Christ.
And if you look, we won't go
269
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,400
through this a lot, but omil
verse post meal often they were
270
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,520
lumped together for centuries.
If you're looking at the
271
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,040
medieval period, there's not
like a ton of different
272
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,760
readings.
So Omil and post meal like claim
273
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,720
the same people a lot of times
because of that.
274
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,360
Not really.
It wasn't until this Puritan era
275
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,080
where we talked about more of
this gradual improvement where
276
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,360
it was really post meal became
like its separate thing from
277
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,080
from Awmil.
So anyway, something to consider
278
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,400
if you're looking back, like why
wasn't the early church?
279
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,760
There's like no such thing.
It was like all kind of lumps
280
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,120
together.
One thing we won't get into, but
281
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,760
if you've heard of theonomy,
God's law, a lot of times that's
282
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,000
going to be with post meal
because you're reinstating this
283
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,520
justice system of God's law.
Not all post Millers are
284
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,040
theonymous, but if you're a
theonymous, you're almost
285
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,240
definitely a post Miller, if
that makes sense.
286
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:39,440
So anyway, that those are some
big picture ideas of post meal.
287
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,240
I think if you understand all
mill, you kind of get post meal.
288
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,440
You just kind of get the bent of
it is positive and you can step
289
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,960
back from the world and you can
see man, the gospel has brought
290
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,520
a lot of good things.
You can see well, it seems like
291
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,720
maybe in America, maybe in
Europe, it's on the decline, but
292
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,280
you look at Africa and South
America and China and it's like
293
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,280
man, Gospel seems like things
are going really well.
294
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,200
It's I mean spreading in a good
way.
295
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280
You look at the numbers, you're
like, holy cow, you know, now
296
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,760
the Bible's in all these
different languages.
297
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,960
You may have the Internet and
like you can have access like
298
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
man, this is so you, you can,
you can get behind that.
299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Like you can see that the flip
side is you're like, man, not
300
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,800
everything's not all roses and
sunshine at the same time.
301
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,480
Yeah, there's a there's
debauchery.
302
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,520
Running, yeah, it really bets
up.
303
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:29,680
And you, you don't have to look
very far.
304
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,960
Look at our home country and
you're like, what's going on?
305
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,760
All these things, You're like
what what's what's happening?
306
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,280
It can be, it can be tough.
So I guess from a positive
307
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,960
standpoint, it's optimistic.
Who doesn't like a good story?
308
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,000
You know, I guess all of the
stories are good if you look the
309
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,720
horizon's long enough.
Right.
310
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,480
It's more and and you know,
optimistic, I think you know,
311
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,920
any of these any of these
systems, you can have certain
312
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,040
disposition doesn't change how
you act, but this one lends
313
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,160
itself to engaging the world a
little more because you're like,
314
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,760
man, this gospel is going to
transform, not just spiritually,
315
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,960
but convinced on a societal
level emphasizes me.
316
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,880
We need to be discipling people.
The Great Commission.
317
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,000
Let's engage with the culture
weaknesses is it can feel
318
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,600
unrealistic and suffering
context it's hard to you know
319
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,720
tell that person suffering for
years and years and years
320
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,120
you're.
Ushering in the golden age right
321
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,160
now in Somalia.
Yeah, that.
322
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,800
And India?
You look at wars, pandemics,
323
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,880
persecution.
You see injustice everywhere.
324
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,800
You might say maybe I'm not so
optimistic.
325
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,440
You look at some of these texts
that talk about, you know, God's
326
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,320
glory going everywhere doesn't
doesn't necessarily mean like
327
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,680
success monetarily or society or
morally right here and now.
328
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,920
Maybe it's looking a little bit
future kind of into where you
329
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,800
want to put things.
And you know, history doesn't
330
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,080
always trend upward.
It's like up and down, up and
331
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,880
down, you know, Europe, America
on a high point now, not
332
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,160
anymore.
Things kind of, you know, shift
333
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:11,160
and go.
So anyway, I've got a little bit
334
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,839
on here in theonomy, but that's
like a whole that's just.
335
00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:16,960
Like I saw that section I was
scrolling through.
336
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,319
It's just a whole I, I don't
have a good feeling because or a
337
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:22,760
good handle on it, because I
feel like everyone interprets
338
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,079
theonomy differently.
Like if you just mean God's law,
339
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,040
that's very vague.
But some people are like, man,
340
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,800
let's get Leviticus out.
We're we're doing this, you know
341
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520
what I mean?
Even if I was a theonomist, I
342
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,800
wouldn't turn to Leviticus.
I mean that was.
343
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Yeah, and I, I might be
misspeaking for them where they
344
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,280
would, you know, I don't know.
It's.
345
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,760
But I have a rail around your
roof.
346
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,400
Yeah, all all the things you're
supposed to do and how much is
347
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,760
like, you know, well, that's
that outworking of that silver
348
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,120
wall different in our context,
but there are the outworkings
349
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:56,920
that and now that I don't
there's all this disagreement on
350
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:02,320
it that I kind of get get lost
and how to how to understand it
351
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,680
totally, But it's a good, you
know, exercise in, you know, the
352
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,240
Christians.
How much do you get involved in
353
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,560
politics and these kind of
things.
354
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,640
And it I'm always fascinated
with this conversation of
355
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,080
engaging culture slash withdraw,
slash withdrawing from culture
356
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,360
because I see good arguments on
both sides.
357
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,120
And I do think man, public
school as a general rule, not
358
00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,320
everywhere, but it's like, man,
not a good obviously not a good
359
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,160
decision for my family.
On the flip side, it would be
360
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,760
cool if I don't know how many
Christians are in America that
361
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,200
are strong Christians.
If it's like, man, we inject X
362
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,480
amount of $1,000,000 a million
people into a public school
363
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,640
system.
Can you change that?
364
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,200
Can you not?
Or it's like, man, the
365
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720
government is too powerful where
you just should give up and run
366
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:45,920
away or that kind of thing, you
know?
367
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,240
And so I think those are good.
I don't think you should
368
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,000
sacrifice your children.
I wouldn't.
369
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,960
I wouldn't phrase it like you
said.
370
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,800
No, but I think that's.
How it's still like a different
371
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,280
way.
I'm fine, battle smart because I
372
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,960
don't think children were ever
meant to be the front runner,
373
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,280
front runners of the missions,
right?
374
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,680
No, I, I agree and maybe I'm
getting more at, I think the
375
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,480
likelihood of you being on a
school board in the public
376
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,000
school probably goes down 'cause
you're probably investing in the
377
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,280
private schools, but not a not a
bad thing.
378
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,080
Private schools do good.
But you can see probably you get
379
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,600
less involvement in government
kind of things by Christians by
380
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,240
virtue of that, I think as a
general rule, probably because
381
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,640
maybe energies are focused in
other places, which I'm not
382
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,400
saying that's a bad thing.
It's like you got God's school
383
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,480
and Satan's school.
I'm going to invest in God's
384
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,240
school.
Right.
385
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,760
And it's like Satan's school, do
what you want.
386
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,800
We'll kind of stand by the side
and maybe we'll put a a post up
387
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,160
or something.
But we're not actively like
388
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,920
going to the school board
meetings and those kind of
389
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,840
things, which is let them let
them do their thing.
390
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,360
You kind of we'll kind of step
back into like our circle and
391
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:51,080
you.
You.
392
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,840
I don't I don't I I disagree.
Pulling my kids out of public
393
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,240
school has nothing to do with
how I interact with other adults
394
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,480
and and extending the circle of
Christianity.
395
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,640
So there there's lots of other
realms other than education.
396
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,160
And that is true.
There there are, you know so.
397
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,480
And I'm, I'm playing devil's
advocate because part of it is
398
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,320
Christian schools were
essentially, at least in, in
399
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,040
America, a lot of them are in
60s, seventies, 80s to say, Hey,
400
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,960
I don't want my kid to go to
school with black people.
401
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,520
So we're going to start a
Christian School because we
402
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,800
think, and so you get into these
things, you're like, man, was
403
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,320
that the right thing to do for
Christians?
404
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,920
Or did we miss the boat?
And that's just one specific
405
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,120
example, But I am being devils.
I've got where it's like we kind
406
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:31,840
of lost that war.
We kind of, or looked not in
407
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,920
good light from that kind of
stuff.
408
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,560
And it's like, you know, these
decisions of escapism, I don't
409
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,960
think they're necessarily bad.
I think it is good to withdraw
410
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,320
and escape sometimes.
But those are the kind of things
411
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,880
is like, you know that a good
motivating factor to start your
412
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,400
Christian School.
Yeah, well, I mean, regardless
413
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,800
of how they got started.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
414
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,400
And that's not every school
that's like, I think
415
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,320
specifically that is like North
side.
416
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,320
I'm not saying that's like
Northwood, but I think that was
417
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,320
a big movement is like, oh,
we've got to segregate.
418
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,080
Well, we're gonna start our own
school where black people can't
419
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,920
go to school here or you know,
and I know they're they're not
420
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,760
like that now.
I think they would renounce all
421
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,960
that, but I'm just saying that.
Mix of of races at Northwood
422
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:10,480
that's.
Great.
423
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,840
No, I, I think there has been
like repentance from that from
424
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,280
these schools, but it's like
just the origins.
425
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,320
I think that's, I think that's
where a lot of that kind.
426
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:18,880
Of Are you happy your kids are
at private schools?
427
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560
It doesn't sound.
Like I am, but I, I I do I.
428
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,520
I do you feel burdened You've
you're kind of pulled that
429
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,960
you're maybe in the wrong spot
or.
430
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,720
No, no, I don't.
I don't like escapism as a
431
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,520
general.
I like and maybe it's like a
432
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,560
losing battle, like we don't
need to fight, but I kind of
433
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,640
like engaging a little bit and
that kind of stuff.
434
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,160
And I'm not a post mail person,
but I do think the gospel is
435
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,000
powerful in in that sense.
Sending my kids to a public
436
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,720
school as letting them be held
hostage by the enemy for 8 hours
437
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,280
a day, for five days a week, 180
days a year.
438
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960
No, I I I don't disagree.
My kids are not in public
439
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,400
school, but you have to.
Think, I mean, they're we talk
440
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,840
to our kids like, hey, at
Northwood, not everyone is a
441
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,280
believer.
So you got to pick your friend
442
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,200
groups.
Well, so it's not like they're
443
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,760
in this monastery close up
against the world.
444
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,240
They are, you know, Northwood is
a, you know, we'll let really
445
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,920
basically anyone come in as long
as you can behave right and you
446
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,120
have basically good at, you
know, academics.
447
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,320
So it's not like this cloistered
we're away from the world.
448
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,760
So I would say a lot of the
charges that you know, just
449
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,520
don't, they just fall flat to me
like.
450
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Yeah, yeah.
And it, it's just like a thought
451
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,600
experiment of if you, if you
know these kids in these private
452
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,200
tuition schools and you invested
the resources and time, could
453
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,560
you, is it like you, you know,
engage your community or is it
454
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,080
like, man, communities like too
far gone?
455
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,400
Because I think if you went back
in time 50 years, you might say
456
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,680
public schools are OK.
Would you disagree with that?
457
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,920
I thought my public school, I
don't have to go back 50 years,
458
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,080
so I could go back, you know,
less than that.
459
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,480
But I was also in rural
Arkansas, where a lot of the
460
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,640
teachers and the school board
were all Christians because we
461
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,080
were in the Bible Belt.
That's right.
462
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,600
And then you know that.
School today is not that way.
463
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,400
That's right, maybe probably
most of the Christians are in
464
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,800
the Christian School.
It's like a pulled out or kind
465
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,920
of.
Thing not there.
466
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,240
Oh, right.
Yeah.
467
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,400
So it's more Christians public
school, more secular in the
468
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,680
private schools.
No, no, I'm saying we're in my
469
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,280
hometown.
Everything has become
470
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,200
secularized.
Everything OK?
471
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,400
Gotcha.
So it's just like they're the,
472
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:31,840
the, the, the amount of
Christians in general across
473
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,360
society has gone down.
And so, I mean, there are still
474
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:37,120
a lot of Christians who go to
that public school.
475
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,240
The only the closest private
school is a Church of Christ
476
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,680
school like 13 miles away and
most people do not send their
477
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,920
kids there.
Some have, but most don't
478
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,400
because of the the concerns
about Church of Christ which we
479
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,520
did not cover in our cults.
There's always time, always
480
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,440
time.
And so anyway, when you're
481
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,040
looking at these systems, it
just shows not that everything's
482
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,680
A1 size Fidel, but different
maybe ways that you would
483
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,280
engage.
Like if you go back to the
484
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,240
Puritans, they'll be like, man,
we're we're starting all these
485
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,760
schools and we're starting to,
you know, it's like you're,
486
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,720
you're doing all these things.
I'm not saying that stuff is not
487
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,080
done now, but but it's Jonathan
Edwards, known known for the for
488
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,680
the private schools where in
premium.
489
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280
This is not a general.
I think the consensus is for a
490
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,120
lot of premiums, it's getting
everything is getting there.
491
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,160
There you go that, that things
are getting so bad that it's
492
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,400
like, man, you gotta, you got to
kind of protect yourself and
493
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,400
isolate.
And it's like, you know what?
494
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,040
It's, you know, these kind of
things.
495
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,200
I think there's different
spheres where it, where it makes
496
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,320
sense or not.
You got to make, make those
497
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,880
judgement calls on you know
what, what is OK for you and
498
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,080
your family and where you push
and where you don't 'cause I
499
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,160
think a lot of people be like,
man, politics are like a lost
500
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,320
cause.
Let's not engage.
501
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,280
Other people are like, no, we
need to engage and let's work
502
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,720
out that kind of thing.
And I think people have
503
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,800
different, different viewpoints
on that.
504
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,480
Yeah, I will say this.
If you're concerned about the
505
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,080
public school, private school
split and you're an adult, go
506
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,720
teach in a public school.
That's great.
507
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,080
I mean, I think that's good.
Jonathan's wife does that.
508
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:15,640
Yeah, I watched it for a long
time.
509
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,600
It's our church does that
there's a lot of Christians who
510
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,720
can have a positive influence on
kids there.
511
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,880
And like you said, I'm teaching
one Class A day, I'm coaching,
512
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,360
I, I, I sponsor stuff at a
private school 'cause that's
513
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:36,320
where my kids are.
But I don't, I don't see that as
514
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,160
you know, I don't know there's
there's a lot of non believers
515
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,640
there that I get to interact
with and influence and share the
516
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,960
gospel with.
So that's good.
517
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,640
Yeah, no, I, I, I, I, I think
it's good.
518
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,200
I think, you know, it's good.
The more we have believers and
519
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,160
all these different things.
I think that that, that that's,
520
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,040
that's the, the really
important, important part.
521
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,520
I think it.
I mean, I know talking to
522
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,640
language.
He was a public school teacher.
523
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,720
It's like, man, it's just like
no one know.
524
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,080
No one knows like their right
hand from their left a lot of
525
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,320
times, you know what I mean?
Where it's like, man, she went
526
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,120
out there for a hand, you know,
six or seven years or something
527
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:13,400
like that and just had felt like
she had a very dramatic impact
528
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,840
on like, so, you know, so many
kids and that kind of thing post
529
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,200
meal.
Anything else you want to say?
530
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,320
Yeah, I was you were reading all
this and I was thinking of this.
531
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,240
This is from Nehemiah, it says
in those, this is the last
532
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,920
chapter, it says in those days I
also saw the Jews had married
533
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,360
women from Ashdod, Amman and
Moab, As for their children has
534
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,920
spoke the language of Ashdod,
and none of them was able to
535
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,000
speak the language of Judah, but
the language of his own people.
536
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,840
So I contended with them, and I
cursed them, and I struck some
537
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760
of them and pulled out their
hair and made them swear by God.
538
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,760
You shall not give your
daughters to their sons, nor
539
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,320
take of their daughters for your
sons, for yourselves.
540
00:26:51,120 --> 00:26:53,560
Yeah.
Yeah, and probably you're like,
541
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,400
Andrew, how does that fit in?
But if you recall our series,
542
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,800
oh, I loved it.
There was like this lot of this
543
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,880
hope.
Oh, man, we are gonna we've
544
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,960
we've gone into captivity.
We're coming out of captivity.
545
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,600
We have a chance to do this
right.
546
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,800
And we're going to set it up.
It's rubbable Taught the people.
547
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,000
Who's the guy?
Before Ezra came over and was a
548
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,560
priest, Nehemiah helped build
the wall, and they're there not
549
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,000
too long ago and they mess it
up.
550
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,880
Yep, every single time.
It's like, man, they have
551
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,000
everything.
And it's because there was, you
552
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,520
know, Christ was absent, you
know, and it's like that, that,
553
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:40,960
that that's what what you need.
So I just don't have faith that
554
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,120
I know even the church empowered
by Christ, because these were
555
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,360
arguably Christ people.
Christ had not come in the
556
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,440
fullness, but he still hasn't
come in the fullness.
557
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,480
I just don't have faith that the
church is going to be able to do
558
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:55,800
it 'cause I think we're going to
always go.
559
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,320
You know what, we long for
Christ return.
560
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,200
We are not getting it.
Yep, I I could not agree more.
561
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,440
That's post millennialism in a
nutshell.
562
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,480
Next we'll we'll start hitting
on the pre mill side of things.
563
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,360
Do we transition to the final
take?
564
00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:15,160
That's it.
Yeah, kind of already had our
565
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,080
final take.
We've talked about private
566
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:18,680
schools.
That's great.
567
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,240
It's great.
I I know the battle.
568
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,920
The battle is like we're past
the point where it's like over
569
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,840
anyway, but it's I think it I
don't I'm trying to think of
570
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:35,080
what other areas where it's like
just a mass exodus where you
571
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:39,480
retreats, which excuse.
Me the word retreat what I
572
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,840
don't.
I, you don't think it's Yeah,
573
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,000
yeah, yeah.
I know, I, I, I know.
574
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,240
I I'm being like provocative
with how I'm saying it.
575
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,240
It's also like, it's great.
Mars Hill pastor, former pastor
576
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,680
marked your school for like
their men's conferences.
577
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,080
We'd never call them a retreat
cause men don't retreat.
578
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,960
It was a men like I don't know
what he called it, but it was
579
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,200
like we don't use the word
retreat.
580
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:57,880
We're on the.
Opposite.
581
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe they
said something.
582
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,240
It's like funny, like it was
like intentional 'cause we don't
583
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,320
retreat.
That's right.
584
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,680
But it's one of those things
that's like, I, I'm, I am very
585
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,680
pessimistic and I think, you
know, don't have a lot of faith
586
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,960
in United States government as
a, as a whole, where it's like,
587
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,840
I don't know what you do from a,
from a global perspective and
588
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,640
maybe nothing.
I mean, in my mind, it's like
589
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,720
part of me like believes in
America's ideals where it's
590
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,000
like, man, if enough people
voice their opinion and it's
591
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,040
like there's people in a
community that can't, but I
592
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,120
don't, I don't think it really
would change anything, you know
593
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,760
what I mean?
Because I don't think people
594
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,680
have that mindset really
anymore, you know what I mean?
595
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,680
It's, it's like a lost cause.
I think we're past that point.
596
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,760
Adults ranging from 20 up to 60
and I'm like, they need a
597
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,520
spanking.
They just literally need some
598
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,160
physical punishment to help and
wake them up.
599
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,200
But, and I'm like, if I were a
dictator, I might install some
600
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,520
physical punishment because it's
just craziness.
601
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
It it's like mayhem, like it's
like culture is so insane.
602
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,840
I'm sure it's like 10%.
That looks like it's 95%.
603
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,240
Yeah, right.
That's probably true.
604
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:16,520
But I I just like, man, you're
so invested in everything that's
605
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,280
evil.
Yeah, yeah.
606
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,600
So yeah.
And anything that's good, you
607
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,720
berate as though it's evil.
It is, and it's like, are we
608
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,320
looking at the same thing?
Yeah, it's so, so crazy.
609
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,360
Like the comment on the short
that Jill had about obedience.
610
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:33,600
Goodness, that was out of
control.
611
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,200
By teaching a child to obey,
well, that's groom, that's
612
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,280
grooming.
I'm like, that's the opposite of
613
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,440
grooming.
You know, the I'm not saying
614
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:45,240
that there aren't Christian kids
who are abused and stuff, but
615
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:50,960
like the stories of foster care
kids who have no, you know,
616
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,400
base, no foundation, no
teaching, no loving parents.
617
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,520
Those are like the most at risk.
It's not.
618
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,560
It's the kids that.
Are in stable and the comment
619
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,680
too was like weird.
It was like grooming, but then
620
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,920
they were like well maybe that's
the point or something like that
621
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,720
like even like more you're like
yeah, you're missing the
622
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:11,320
overarching point point of that
of that short word.
623
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,280
Yeah, you look at that, you're
like, man, it does look, look
624
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,160
bleak from that.
It's very, you know, United
625
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,280
States of America, very
conflicting place right now.
626
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,400
You know what I mean?
Where it's like it is, it is
627
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,480
tough.
I yeah, I I could be wrong,
628
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,120
maybe post mail is right, but I
think I think United States is
629
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,000
in for some tough times because
that's what's what's going to
630
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,840
wake people up.
I know, man.
631
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,800
It is what's, you know, South
America, Africa, you know, we'll
632
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,600
see if you know, I, I always
look at the numbers and I'm
633
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,800
always like, I need to dive in
the move.
634
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,400
It's like blown away.
I don't know what categorizes
635
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,760
everything as Christian or not
or what, how wide a swath
636
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,320
they're working with or
whatever, you know, but the
637
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,200
numbers are.
And it's really my experience
638
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,960
too, like even with like Co
workers and that kind of thing,
639
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,560
it's a pretty big age divide
where the younger you get,
640
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,560
people are like quote, UN quote,
like more open minded, but in a
641
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,480
much more negative way, you know
what I mean?
642
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,760
Or even if I'm talking to
someone who works with us, who's
643
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,160
60 years old, even if like they
don't believe what I believe,
644
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,880
it's just like the mind, the
mindset's different, you know?
645
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,680
It's not.
It's like they just called
646
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,160
older.
People are more open minded.
647
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,000
Yeah, I would.
Think there's like there's this,
648
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,600
I think it like alternates
generations, 'cause there is a
649
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640
swath of older people I see on
these videos all the time who
650
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,880
are just.
Crazy.
651
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,920
Crazy lost their mind and then
there's some young people that
652
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,720
seem like they're fairly open
minded and can discuss stuff and
653
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,040
maybe, you know, if you are a
believer and you're listening,
654
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:56,840
raise a large healthy family.
Teach them God's ways at the
655
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:02,440
door, on the road, in the
morning, at night meals, you
656
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,920
know, I mean that.
Evangelize through population
657
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,400
growth.
Honestly, it's like, yeah,
658
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,480
honestly, working really well
for them, I think.
659
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,360
Yeah, people looking for God's
will.
660
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,160
It's like as simple as that.
Start a family and I think most
661
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,120
things will fall into place, you
know, get married, have
662
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,320
children, you're going to have
responsibility and you
663
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,720
discipleship.
And it's like, wow, that's that
664
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,640
I think really organizes and
shapes what you probably should
665
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,880
do with your life for, for maybe
not for everyone, but for, for a
666
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,560
lot of people that it's like
people like don't want to get
667
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,160
married because they want to put
up, they don't want children
668
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,320
because they're inconvenient.
It's like, and you know, all
669
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,000
they are added responsibility,
added cost.
670
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,960
But it's like, man, that's good.
And that is part of what shapes
671
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,160
you and changes you and makes
you less selfish and rely on God
672
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,000
and all these good things where
again, this would be such a good
673
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,560
case study looking up feminism
from our guy where it's like, I
674
00:33:58,560 --> 00:33:59,920
don't think it's bad for women
to work.
675
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,600
My wife works.
Your wife works, but your.
676
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,240
Wife was home for a while.
My wife was home for a long
677
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,360
while.
I think there's so much positive
678
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,400
in that and I and I think women
can work.
679
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,800
It's great, but it does get
topsy turvy when the whole
680
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,800
culture it's like not one offs.
It's like the whole shift is
681
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:23,719
like you're both spouses work so
they can send their kids to date
682
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:26,800
so they can pay someone to like
clean their house and cook their
683
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,360
It's just like weird.
I mean it's not weird.
684
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,159
I know there's things that are
people need that sometimes, but
685
00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,560
it is like interesting all of
these like downstream effects
686
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,040
and how feminism, even certain
things aren't wrong, just I feel
687
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,120
like everything together just
does shape your society into
688
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,280
something a little bit
different.
689
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:46,400
Yeah, and it's not exactly the
same because I think there's
690
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,440
there is merit in like working
out.
691
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,800
But I worked with a guy who was
like, I would never go to a gym,
692
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,639
but I split all my own wood.
I garden.
693
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,720
He's like, he's like.
I my, I'm in shape because I'm
694
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:02,320
doing the work that our bodies
were meant to do.
695
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,760
I don't go lift weights, I don't
go run.
696
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:05,840
I don't do all those other
things.
697
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,680
I just work, you know.
Yeah, it, it is.
698
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,520
It is so interesting.
Yeah.
699
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,680
Going back to feminism, this is
a broader conversation than
700
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:17,440
that, but it's like Industrial
Revolution wasn't that long ago.
701
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Where the man goes off to work
for 10 hours, doesn't see his
702
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,960
family all day.
That's like not how things
703
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,320
necessarily work.
Like it's even like that is
704
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,360
different than how it was.
Right, because your kids were
705
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:28,840
working.
With.
706
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,760
Revolution.
You had some type of family
707
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:32,760
business.
You.
708
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,720
Were working together as a
family.
709
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:36,080
And there's some discipleship
in.
710
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,320
It's like you're the kids are
working at a young age.
711
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,640
You're teaching them, Yeah.
You teach them how to make
712
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,640
barrels, how to make shoes, how
to thatch a roof, how to, you
713
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,320
know, all those things.
We don't do that anymore.
714
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,840
And and so 'cause you think
like, oh, the man should do
715
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,480
this, but it's like, yeah, even
some of that is constructed in a
716
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,320
different way than what I was
not saying that's.
717
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,120
And women's are work.
Yeah.
718
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,920
And if you're on the farm or if
you're work, Yeah, exactly.
719
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,640
It's like it's just a different.
It's more like cohesion for your
720
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,800
family where you have oversight
and discipleship and all these
721
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,000
good things that we.
And then you make decisions that
722
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,360
are right for your nuclear
family cause you know what's
723
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,160
right for one couple, how
they're going to divvy up the
724
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,160
labor isn't necessarily right
for another couple, but they're
725
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,760
all working together to
accomplish a common familial
726
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,840
goal.
Yeah, there's something, there's
727
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,960
something to that, that it's
like we've we've lost and it's
728
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:29,840
just part of it.
And it is, it is tough because
729
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,320
it is tough when dad's gone all
day and even a mom is staying
730
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,640
home.
It's like been with the kids.
731
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:37,840
There's like, that's not perfect
either, you know, it's like,
732
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,680
yeah, there are.
Even if you own your own
733
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,240
business, though, like I think
of Jay Miller, yeah, the cabinet
734
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,800
company, he's still going off to
work at his own business.
735
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,240
It's hard to.
It's hard to have.
736
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,920
That you have to really like.
Family business these days,
737
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,880
Yeah.
If you got one of those that's
738
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,840
working, let us know.
Yeah, we'll support you.
739
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,320
Maybe we'll we'll Yeah.
There you go.
740
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:01,120
You can tell us.
Tell us the the tricks, the
741
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,200
tricks of the trade.
Look at stuff.
742
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,960
Anything else you got?
I seemed like there was
743
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,000
something silly I was going to
say that I held off, but I
744
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,640
forgot it.
So that's that's how good you
745
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,560
know by exercising self-control
If someone with the Moscow.
746
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,160
Nice.
Idaho family compound.
747
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:20,520
Yeah, I need to look up more
into this because I don't know a
748
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,640
ton about Doug, but every now
and then he's on the news and
749
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,840
he's like saying and they have
like their, you know, they don't
750
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,640
totally like dominate that city,
but they've got, they're
751
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:31,440
ingrained a lot.
And a lot of a lot of these
752
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:35,800
theonymous movements, it's like
they'll try to get, you know, 20
753
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,760
families together and go live in
some rural town and you own all
754
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,040
the land and you start, you try
to start building up.
755
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,440
And it's like, I'll use you for
the your, it's like you try to
756
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,400
be synergistic in that way.
And it's like you can have your
757
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,520
community and your Community
Church is like a fixture in the
758
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:51,920
community because it's like a
small rural town.
759
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,600
You can have an impact that way
versus like a big city, you
760
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,480
know, where and you can like
maybe give to that community and
761
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,080
those kind of things.
And, you know, all this stuff.
762
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,640
So I think there's good things
in in that kind of not saying
763
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,640
that's like the only way to go,
but it's interesting, you know,
764
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,120
with some of this stuff making
its way and this reaction
765
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:12,400
against, you know, all these
things.
766
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,440
And they're in this small town
now.
767
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,760
They now they have 20 families
now, you know, pastor the church
768
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,080
or whoever's gonna run for
office because they got 20.
769
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,240
You know what it's like.
And you can kinda maybe change
770
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,920
this county in Kentucky or
whatever it is, you know,
771
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:25,560
probably doesn't work
everywhere.
772
00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:28,160
Land's expensive, hard to like,
you know, uproot.
773
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,000
You can see you get the wrong
people in leadership.
774
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,760
Oh.
Boy, they can go South then it
775
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,480
is, yeah.
People see an opportunity to
776
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,440
like, oh, I can control these
people, yeah.
777
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,320
You're right back at the end of
Nehemiah.
778
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,560
And we're right back there.
Yeah, Yeah, very true.
779
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,000
I can't.
I guess I was thinking about it.
780
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,160
I was like, how why have I
always thought that post
781
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,560
millennials thought that we, I
guess they, they do think the
782
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,480
millennial reign is right now
Just like absolutely.
783
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,400
It's just like, 'cause I always
thought that, I thought that
784
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,000
they believe that things got so
great and then there was a
785
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,760
millennial reign.
But I guess that's not what
786
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,160
they're saying.
Yeah, post meals man.
787
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,800
Get it, get it, get it together
pre meal next time.
788
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Pre meal dis be pre meal.
If if we're ready for it, we'll
789
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:17,560
be good to go.
We'll do one of the pre meals
790
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,080
next time.
Oh, I mean, it's that big of a
791
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,200
difference.
Oh.
792
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:24,360
Huge difference, huge difference
way.
793
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,520
Different TuneIn to see what
the.
794
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,120
Difference is, yeah, there's a
teaser.
795
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,840
That's our take.
