Wow no one mentioned they thought Matthew 16 refers to AD 70! I would’ve thought even people who aren’t hardcore partial preterists would agree that that is a strong element in the latter chapters of Matthew’s gospel account… note the parallel with Matt 24:34 (and don’t try and argue the lame dispensational things about “genea,” etc. :p )

Thanks for the discussion!

I appreciated the observation from John Owen that Christ is Mediator even of the Beatific vision. There is a great discussion in Union with Christ (J. Todd Billings) comparing Calvin and Owen on this issue. We never get beyond the ectypal apprehension of the knowledge of God in Christ!

Hi,

Thanks for your episode on the Transfiguration. I appreciate that point was raised about Moses’ prayer to see God’s glory and how that prayer was answered with Moses being present to behold the glory of God in Christ on the mount of Transfiguration. I had read this point a few years ago in either Richard Sibbes or John Owen and marveled at the insight. I still marvel at it today.

Thank you for all your podcasts such as Christ the Center and East of Eden (I’m a big fan of Jonathan Edwards and I am just delighting in what I hear on East of Eden). You are doing such a great job in supplying great, accessible, Christ-honoring teaching.
