That's the part that they didn't get, and they also didn't understand how that would then be vindicated through a resurrection process. I mean, what Jesus is doing here, what he's setting the stage for, it's like he's dripping in what's going to happen. He's not just coming out and telling them.

But I think we do that. Don't you think we do that today, too? It's like a hindrance for us when we start thinking about the kingdom because it's a lot easier for us to think about it in terms of conquest and military conquest, political victories. And not to say we shouldn't be involved in those in politics. I think we should be. But it's what we've always said.

Don't put your ultimate hope there because that's not really the way. That's not really where it's where the real magic is happening. It should be a comedy.

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.
