This is the thirty-fourth and final installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from The Times of Nero. In this episode he explores the strange and bewildering happenings of the 17th of Tammuz in the year 70 AD. On this day, in the midst of the Roman’s siege on the city of Jerusalem, the priests came down to their final lamb to sacrifice in the daily temple sacrificial ritual. The Jews still remember this difficult day nearly two thousand years later.

This is the thirty-third installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero. In this episode he does a deep dive into the extraordinary story of the Jewish historian, Josephus. The first-century writings of Josephus hold a weighty position in Christian history, for they offer us a unique perspective into the climate surrounding first century Christianity and also showcase the startling fulfillment of the very words of Christ spoken to His disciples prior to His death in the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple. The supernatural preservation of Josephus is an extraordinary parallel with the supernatural preservation of sacred history in and through his life.

One of the wonders of the Gospel is that it not only saves you but it empowers and emboldens you to share the Gospel with others. As Christians, we are to be proclaimers of the Gospel with our lives and with our lips—we are missionaries wherever we are and with everyone we meet. In this final study of the Grand and Glorious Gospel, Nathan talks about embracing Jesus’ mission as our commission and what it means for our lives to declare the superlative news of Jesus Christ.
