Expositional Excerpts

Expositional Excerpts

There is one goal with each episode: take a verse of scripture, or part of a verse, or even a few verses and look at them in their context to find the meaning of that text. Furthermore, this will be a systematic approach, meaning that it won't be random verses picked here and there, but will work through entire books of the Bible. The aim of this is to make the Bible accessible to virtually any audience and to keep it on the shorter side. Each episode will normally be between 10-20 minutes, though there may be some rare exceptions. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/matthew-pilch/support

We use today's episode to discuss the first two woes and to understand the trajectory of where we are going and how this third and final woe sets the stage for what is to come, not just in terms of judgment, but what is falling immediately at the conclusion of the third woe: namely, the bodily return of Christ to this earth to rule and reign for 1,000 years and how to understand that.
