What you think about when we were in Rome, for example, I remember there was a moment where we were standing there looking at the Colosseum, which is pretty amazing if you think about the Roman Empire in its heyday. Without modern engineering, without excavators, without any cranes, and to see what they built, it's kind of like, whoa, it's impressive. It's very impressive.

And then we were thinking, man, can you imagine if some guy from a mud hut in Africa shows up in Rome? and the emperor says, I'm God, you kind of are, I can understand why they may say, yeah, okay, I can see why. Yeah. Like, yeah, you look at what they built, but then you look at it now and, and it's all in ruins. And, um,

I think it is so interesting about the picture of the coming of the kingdom because what Jesus did not do and what God did not do is he did not, like the ultimate revelation or the ultimate exaltation of the Son of Man, it did not come through some kind of military trial, which you would have thought if we were planning it, it would have. It would have came in like the Roman Empire in its heyday.

And that would have been how I would have assumed and probably anyone would assume the Son of Man would be revealed. But that's not how he was revealed. He was revealed in the most humble of ways. One, being born in a manger.

I mean, that alone, being born in a feeding trough to normal, average people, not to royalty, and to not even really start his ministry for 30 years, and then to have only a three-year ministry? and really didn't even have a place to lay his head, as he says later on. And then ultimately he was crucified on a Roman cross.

I mean, this is like not the way that you're supposed to write the story of victory, but that's exactly what happened. And then here we are 2,000 years later, on a podcast that has millions of downloads every year, and we're just one of many. And we're just a small sliver of the kingdom talking about this king.

So whatever happened, whatever revelation happened, I mean, like Bill would say, we're counting time, boys. He split time. I mean, I think that's impressive.
