15 | Cloud Rider, Tongues of Fire

In this episode, Anthony and Blaine discuss the Ascension and
Pentecost, linking those events as two sides of the same coin in
the story of God. In the Ascension, Jesus has anchored our
humanity in the heavens. At Pentecost, the Sermon on the Mount
and the Old Testament promises of covenant renewal have been
fulfilled. Also in this episode: ancient representations of the
creator God, dating Biblical events, Jewish calendars, the
unfulfilled Sermon on the Mount, and events from the Second
Jewish Roman War.
