Today we discuss the "Fig Tree stories" in Matthew and John and talk about the similarities, differences and connections in those and what we've already discussed.

Today we discuss the theme of the Fig Tree in Scripture beginning with Mark 11 and tying that back to Genesis 3.

We discuss a couple of important gardens in the New Testament and then what all of the "gardens" are ultimately pointing toward.

Today we discuss The Song of Songs and how this is another Garden and how it fits with the theme.

Today we discuss God's garden vs. the counterfeit garden that the world offers.

In this episode, we continue to look at Garden imagery in Scripture. We dig into the job description for the priests in Numbers and the imagery in Solomon's Temple and both of those connect to Eden.

We begin a new series today - Types, Themes, & Threads in Scripture. We will start with a discussion of gardens and the way they frame the Bible and run all the way through. What are we to get from this? Let's dive in to see where this takes us.

The final chapter of Kings tells of the complete unraveling and undoing of Israel from the deconstruction of the Temple to the leaders all being struck down. But there is hope in the last paragraph. Death doesn't have the final word - there is a resurrection coming....

We explore the "generation" after Josiah and the Captivity that begins with Egyptian bondage and becomes Babylonian Captivity and God's sovereignty through it all.

Josiah continues to "cleanse" the land of idols and high places and re-institutes Passover. He dies at the hand of an Egyptian Pharoah and thus begins the "70 years of captivity" that has been prophesied, as Egypt, and then Babylon will be in charge of Judah from this time going forward.
