1156: Soon // Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero 17 (Eric Ludy)
Manage episode 432005862 series 2854099
This is the seventeenth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero. In this episode he addresses the perplexing matter of time indicators associated with the prophecies of the New Testament. When the Scriptures say, “The time is near, He is coming quickly,” or “This will take place in this generation”—should we actually take that time declaration seriously, or are the Scriptures speaking in some sort of enigmatic heavenly symbolic language towards the concept of time? Many Christians today have jokingly concluded that when Jesus says “soon” He actually means “in two thousand or so years from now.” How should we appropriate this things? Because our expectations (and therefore, our faith) remain restless until we better understand God’s communication on time.
