"We are living in-between the Cross and the Crown, in a window of mercy opened for the fullness of the Gentiles to enter into the Kingdom of the Son of His love. This is the moment in eternity with the declaration of the Son of Man, 'Maranatha,' sweeps across the nations of the earth that, truly, all might be blessed through the promises made to Abraham. And these days, as any, are numbered. This window of mercy will close—because He has promises to keep to Jerusalem, and when the new song reaches her city of origin again, this 'present evil age' will finally end."

"Back in the 1980s, broadcasters would occasionally break into a television program with the startling words, 'We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the following important announcement.' The broadcast interruptions not only startled the viewer, but they also shattered the comfortable entertainment illusion the viewer was trying to enjoy. That’s sort of what it was like when God stepped down onto Mount Sinai and spoke the Ten Commandments on the first Pentecost."

"No one rejects Leviticus outright, but it’s hard for modern readers to engage. It just sits there, forgotten… Leviticus is not a description of a world that passed away. It's a vision of a world that is still yet to come. Leviticus is eschatology."

The message of the Bible has an explicitly eschatological thrust centered on the future redemption of Israel. There is simply no way around it. This message was not only handed down to the Jewish people; it hinges on their own redemption. That is, "if their rejection brings reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?"

There is a kind of waiting that wears you down. And there is a kind of waiting that reveals what is in you. Peter is not only addressing a theological question about the timing of Jesus’ return. He is addressing the condition of the heart. What happens in us while we wait?

Do we really have two covenants in opposition and contrast, or rather one eternal covenant with different facets that progressively unfolds and renews itself in order to fulfill God’s purposes and demonstrate His faithfulness?

From the beginning, God has been telling a story of redemption. It is a story that is unfolding on the world stage and it is vital that we understand this story.

“No one in this day and age is tasked with creating the fixture that will host the manifest Presence of the Holy. Still, as with so much of Scripture, we can glean from and lean on principles set forth in the stories. This neglected element of the Exodus serves us with something of our own blueprint: To honor the dignity God gives to the creative, beautiful excellence of artisans made by Him to make things that reflect Him, and to provide beautiful means for a nation to encounter the beautiful Truth. Perhaps we need this now more than ever."
