The heart of Jesus was pure. Peter traveled with Jesus for three and a half years, and he described Jesus as a “lamb, unblemished and spotless” (1 Peter 1:19). The heart of Jesus was peaceful. The disciples shouted for fear in the storm, but Jesus slept through it. Peter drew his sword to fight the soldiers, but Jesus lifted his hand to heal.

The heart of Jesus was purposeful. He aimed at one goal—to save humanity from its sin. “The Son of man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). His heart was spiritual. He took his instructions from God. It was his habit to go to worship. He memorized scripture. His times of prayer guided him. John 5:19 says, “The Son does whatever the Father does.” The heart of Jesus was spiritual. Let ours be the same.

Postmillennialism: Hope for Gospel Victory

In this episode of End Times 101, Michael and Zach examine Historic Premillennialism—an older and often overlooked view of the end times that predates modern dispensational systems. While many associate premillennialism with charts and rapture timelines, this episode presents a simpler framework: Christ returns once, after tribulation, and then reigns on earth before the final judgment.

The discussion highlights key differences from Dispensational Premillennialism, particularly the unity of God’s people across history and the absence of a pre-tribulation rapture. Walking through passages like Matthew 24, Revelation 19–20, and 1 Corinthians 15, the episode builds a case for a single, visible return of Christ followed by a real, future reign. The conversation also explores how this view handles the millennium, resurrection order, and the ongoing presence of suffering prior to Christ’s return.

Michael and Zach also trace the historical roots of Historic Premillennialism in the early church, noting its presence among early Christian writers and its later decline as other systems developed. The episode closes by weighing both the strengths and challenges of the view—its simplicity, its realism about suffering, and the interpretive questions it raises.

At the center remains the shared hope across all faithful views: not a system, but a Savior who will return, defeat evil, and establish His reign.
