This is a fascinating topic that I wasn’t able to fully explore into in such a short video. For more on this, check out this book by my friend J Warner Wallace: amzn.to/4fkklKG
Hey Brother I believe you quoted the wrong verse for grace. Should have been Ephesians 2:9 not Daniel. Love the content and love your channel. May our Lord continue to bless you.
His timing was/is perfect always ❤❤❤ Did you know that the days of the week are named after planets. On the 7th day Saturday is named after Saturn and Cab you guess what the 1st day of the week is named after? Sunday 2nd day Monday Moon day I forgot which of the planets the Romans named Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday after. I'm going to look them up again. Why are Christians worshiping on the first day of the week? The 7th day is what God made the rest day. Sundown on Friday at days end till the 7th day at sundown at days end. I really think that maybe the Believers & Christians should rename the days of the week. It would be awesome if you could make a video about this and the months too. I'm not sure but I think the months are named after the Roman pagan stuff too.
Totally (to your and to WinItReigns comment)! This was/is the Father's, Son's, and Spirit's orchestrated plan before the *adversary* was even created (being Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent Satan was created to fall, and to put this plan in motion. Hence why the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was placed in the Garden of Eden). None of what Satan did came to a surprise to the Divine, everything that the Divine does was/is done with Intention and Purpose.
The error of the people who think today would have been the perfect time for Jesus to come is that they think today's technology and science would be the same if Jesus hadn't come. But Christianity transformed society in a way that enabled science.
I'm not sure you are right about that. But if Jesus had not come until today, it makes sense to think that many more millions of people would end up in hell, because the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit would still not have gone to the world.
The Savior's coming was foretold from the very beginning, as early as the fall of man in Eden. Adam and Eve, upon hearing the promise of a Deliverer, hoped for its immediate fulfillment, yet centuries passed, and the promise remained unfulfilled. The delay was not due to a failure of the promise, but rather to God's perfect timing. The prophecy in the book of Daniel even revealed the exact timing of the Messiah's advent, although it was not fully understood by everyone. Despite the long wait, the timing was exact, aligning with God's divine schedule. God’s providential hand was at work in the world, preparing it for the arrival of His Son. At that moment in history, the world was united under the Roman Empire, providing a relatively stable political environment. A common language, Greek, was spoken widely, facilitating communication across vast regions. This allowed the message of the gospel to spread rapidly once Christ had come. Additionally, Jews were dispersed across many nations, and during their pilgrimages to Jerusalem, they could hear of the Messiah and carry this news back to their respective countries. At the time of Christ's coming, the world was in spiritual darkness. Heathenism was losing its grip, and people were disillusioned with the old religions, which offered no real hope or satisfaction. Even within Judaism, faith had dimmed, and the teachings of the prophets were largely misunderstood or ignored. However, there remained a remnant-a group of faithful Jews-who still looked forward to the Messiah, holding onto the promises of old. This spiritual decline among the masses created a deep longing for deliverance, making humanity more receptive to the Savior. Satan had been working tirelessly to widen the gap between humanity and God, hoping to make it unbridgeable. His goal was to deepen humanity's degradation to the point where God's forbearance would end, and humanity would be abandoned to destruction. But God’s plan was different. Instead of condemning the world, God sent His Son to save it at the very moment when it seemed most lost. This act of divine grace was a demonstration of God's unwavering love for humanity. At the very height of sin and despair, when Satan’s influence seemed unchallengeable, Jesus came to restore what had been lost. He came to redeem humanity, to reclaim the image of God in man that sin had marred. His mission was to defeat the powers of darkness, restore humanity to its intended glory, and bring about a new creation. Christ came at the time He did because it was the divinely appointed moment when the conditions of the world, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the readiness of humanity all converged in what Paul describes as "the fullness of the time." This was the exact moment God had planned from the beginning, ensuring that His Son’s mission would be accomplished to its fullest extent, offering redemption and the promise of adoption as sons and daughters of God.
except when it didn`t christian d0gma made sure the ge0centric m0deI persisted f0r hundreds 0f years despite c0pernicus and galileo "Galileo's opinions were met with opposition within the Catholic Church, and in 1616 the Inquisition declared heliocentrism to be "formally heretical" " this is n0t "enabIing science" its the exact 0pp0site "Luther's sole concern was the plain and literal interpretation of the Bible.

Imfa0.
Also another point: Jesus came when only 1% of the world’s entire historical population had been born. Literally the exponential population explosion happened after Jesus’ death. Perfect timing if you want to reach the maximum number of people.
I mean, humanity didn't experience exponential growth until the 18th century. So according to your logic, he could've came anytime before then. However you have things like the black plague in the 13th century. The North and South American continents being discovered in the 17th century. Also the Enlightenment in 17th - 18th century. The dark ages beginning in 500 AD and lasting all the way until 1500 AD. Also many people like Genghis Khan in the 12th-13th century. And Islam would've been completely different, especially if Jesus existed in the same age Mohammad existed. Perhaps that big religious change would've meant something we do not have the knowledge of. Perhaps if he came any later it wouldn't have sealed the impact he left. Also the world tamed itself a lot more later on, so he probably wouldn't have been tortured like he was. Definitely still, especially during the dark ages, but perhaps not to the level that he was.
More people worship jesus christ today than ever before. 2024 years after he left. Thousands of years later jesus prophesies become true its actually freakin wild man. How he predicted such minute details thousands of years early its almost like as if he always existed always was never wasnt in the past present and future. He was here when there was no wifi bro no ibuprophen or antibiotics. Not even a car bro. Not even.a scooter or skayeboard. Not even roller blades bro. Guy rolled into town on a donkey or he walked.
Jesus did not come to establish another religion, He came to extend His kingdom and reign here on earth. We belong to a Kingdom not a religion! 🙌🏾 King Jesus be praised!
Remember Jesus's Kingdom is NOT of this world. When he comes back, he's going to take us to heaven with Him. Then after the earth is cleansed with fire, we'll come back.
Our Father who is in heaven Your Kingdoms comes and Your Will be done here on Earth as it is in Heaven… Christ Is The Sower of The Kingdom Coming. The Word saying a thing and The Spirit manifesting according to The Word and One Work in Covenant with Life! Look how do you not see God’s Work. God’s kingdom is not of this world, which is but the seed of the next one. And The Living Gods Kingdom is not a kingdom of dust manufactured, constructed and fabricated by the hands of man nor a thing of their imaginations!
@@wilsonsmanz As soon as we believe God takes His saints out of the world and brings us into His Kingdom. He us our great high priest, after the order of Melchizidek. See book of Hebrews.
Man don’t ever stop putting out videos like this. I’m sure a lot of time was spent researching and fact checking, but man it’s all worth it. Thank you so much for videos like this I seriously mean it! ❤️✝️
@HansSvensson-hr3jo bro *ALPHA* is first(as in the first letter of the Greek alphabet) and *OMEGA* is last(as in the last letter of the Greek alphabet) too!!
@HansSvensson-hr3jo bro *Alpha* is the first letter of the Greek alphabet,and *Omega* is the last letter of the Greek alphabet just like how in the English alphabet *A* is the first and *Z* is the last!!
I sincerely desire that the person encountering this message experiences strength through their faith, joy in simple moments, and the comfort of love. May your day be blessed abundantly! 🍃✨
Brilliant in what sense? You mean when he created Adam and Eve after the devil apparently had rebelled and fallen, then tempted the protagonists to sin? Great timing!
@@LouisaWattHmm, you apparently misunderstand. You had a conversation and you watched a video. Those have nothing to do with Jesus or any incarnation either today or a couple of millennium ago. Not sure how you got confused but hopefully that clears it up. If not, feel free to ask again.
All is lining up and GOD is still in control. Soon we will see the completion of our purpose made in us by GOD to fulfill the hole that is in our heart. Soon we will witness the glory of GOD. O GOD glorify thyself in us and make us a glorious living light in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Glory Glory Glory be to GOD. AMEN
Matt Dillahunty fails to realize that today would not have been the optimal time for Jesus to come if Jesus hadn't come. Christianity laid the foundation for science, technology, industry, and other things that Dillahunty takes for granted.
Why not come when you can give everyone proof better than any time in history? Why come when The best way to spread your good word is by word of mouth? Jesus is an idiot
@oscaralegre3683 why does it matter? The temple? And who is being rude? it is a shame that we are apparently stuck with a God that does things the crazy way and not the most effective way.
I learned a great deal from this. In a world that seems to being going insane hearing the life of Jesus is so good to listen to. I am so glad He saved my soul. Thank you for shing this.
“The day of the Lord” isn’t terrible for everyone. It’s terrible for the wicked. Amos was calling people to repentance. “In like manner shall He return” were the parting words of the angel as Jesus ascended into heaven.

Gald I saw this video. I literally prayed just the other day and asked God to show me his truth. Not anything watered down by man. I asked him to show me how to live and show me what I should really know. Watched this video and I was like hummmm this is very good like I wanted to know more. Then saw it was a book you read and was promoting. So I literally just went on Amazon and ordered this. It may not be from God but I always keep my eyes opens for his signs. But to me after the prayer this video and me wanting to know more. I'll take it as a strong maybe lol. Amazon said arriving tomorrow lol so God willing ill be able to have a very good new read. Thank you brother keep up the great videos. God bless and a🙏 ❤.
That was so concise and easy for ppl to comprehend!!! Its so difficult to try to explain this to ppl who seem to only want to over think and over complicate everything as some way they can reject and deny the Truth! I get it. I was there myself for most of my life…until I got smacked upside my head…. by HIM I now 💯 know to be REAL!!! And I didn’t deny, reject, or talk myself out of it afterwards… I embraced Him and I’ve fought to keep the doubts out of my mind and be open to every message he sends me…. I have to say that it’s scary and terrifying sometimes because it’s sooooo direct and undeniably impossible to explain away as a coincidence etc…. The more you lean into it the more you ask Him and accept Him and believe Him the more He gives you knowledge and confirmation that’s so amazing it’s like an electric shock of pure truth and intention that runs right through you! It’s intense! And I am sooo Grateful!!! 🙏✝️❤️
@@PoppinPsinceAD33 Daniel 9:20-27. Verse 25 -- in 457 BC Artaxerxes sends the Jewish nation back to rebuild. 7 and 62 "sevens" (years) go by (483 yrs to 27 AD) and in the middle of the next "seven" the prophecy of the Anointed One happens. 🤯
@coulie27 you're just two years off,it was in *455 B.C.E.* that governor Nehemiah was given the permission by King Artaxerxes to go and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem therefore securing perimeter of the Temple area,thus long story short it was in *29 C.E.* that Jesus approached his cousin John the Baptist to be baptized by him,thus from that moment he became the anointed Messiah and designated King of his Father's Kingdom while on Earth for the next *3.5years* before he was executed in *33C.E.* by his own people the Jews who didn't accepted him as the Promised Messiah!!
@@LuisContreras-pw8wj the bad comes from our decision to rebel against God and his standard. In the beginning when Adam ate the apple he was separated from God, he was dead to God spiritually. And how can anything dead produce something that’s alive?
@@stephendaniels4818 the bad comes from ur god as well he created the bad he made the devil didnt he lol he also knows everything and lets the bad happen anyway lol a natural disaster isnt because our bad decisions and still alot of people lose their lives children good people as well
Holy Spirit, direct me in my career, and finances. As a single mother with two children with special needs life is an overwhelming journey, especially because I’m constantly faced with financial difficulties. Lord I struggle to provide the basic necessities for my sons, like groceries and rent. I pray for your divine intervention in my life, that you would provide for my children’s needs and guide me towards financial stability in Jesus name I pray.❤️
Open your mind to the fact that God knows your struggles, and it is imperative that you stop anything extra that can drain away your finances at this time. It will be hard but only then he will guide you to a better situation financially. May peace be with you! 🕉 🛕 🙏
Very well done, Jon. I've rarely seen the whole panorama explained so well. You did an awesome job!! Thanks for referencing the prophecy in Daniel 9, too. Many people don't get the importance of the 483 yrs from the time of Artaxerxes decree to the time of Jesus' ministry. You really nailed it though. I'm going to try to get the book you mention! God bless and keep you, your family and ministry!
I would love for Jesus to come back, but I truly believe he has already started having more and more influence, Christians are getting stronger in faith and spirit sure there is gonna be opposition but eventually truth will win, praise his name and hold onto Jesus christ of nasareath our prayers will be answered by his name. Pray for peace, pray for love in christs name
Jesus has NOT returned yet. The Bible says every eye will see Him, the dead in Christ will rise first, then we who are alive and remain will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. ❤
@@Kunoichi139 lol maybe we have a mis translation happing here, I never mentioned what the bible says or not says etc I said more and more people of different faiths are coming to christ
Another thing commonly missed by those who think Jesus should've come today is the fact that the technological and scientific progress we've made that allows for our greater levels of communication may not have been possible without the rise of Christianity. The belief that an intelligent God made the universe and governs it according to certain natural laws lead many to believe the universe was intelligible, which is somewhat of a prerequisite for scientific progress.
@@LuisContreras-pw8wjlooks like youre wrong. You disagree with isaac newton who discovered the universal laws of physics that existed already and werent made by earthly humans? How can the universe be governed bro, by laws. Governed by laws the universe. The universe governed by laws bro. Laws govern the universe that meams there is a very high intellogence that set the universal laws. Thats what isaac newton proved he discovered that objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss God created the laws of the universe, so the proof of god's existence is our ability to find them? Universal laws exist, therefore god must exist, that's your argument, right? So now tell me, what evidence do you have to support that god created those laws?
There is also a sense His arrival was pre-planned and on schedule. Dr. Heiser did make a video where he goes through some of the teachings that were being taught by the rabbis during the second Temple period. The Holy Spirit was very active and started to prepare and educate His people a few generations ahead of His arrival.
@@wilsonsmanz You ever wonder where John the Baptist received his education from? I wish i could remember the Heiser episode, not that the Colossians is not eye opening as well. 19th century scholars believed that letter was not written by Paul because it contains gnostic concepts that were not written about until much later after his death. But guess what? With the discovery of the DSS, those concepts were written about prior to Paul being born. He was confronting them at the Colossian church. It was definitely written by Paul.
"Why didn't Jesus come today when we have all this technology and global communication?" Y'all don't understand... We likely wouldn't have all the technology and global communication if He hadn't come 2000 years ago. Aside from the perfection of the timing that Jon explains in this video, you need to understand the sheer amount of influence Jesus had on the world. Huge amounts of our fundamental science and art were discovered or invented by Christians of one sort or another. The reason we have the technology we have is because the legacy of Jesus inspired people to seek to better understand the world around them in order to grow closer to God. Even the printing press was invented largely to more easily copy the Bible and spread the word of God. If Jesus hadn't come two millennia ago, most of what we know and have today likely would not be known or exist.
@stephendaniels4818 you wanna know what would have happened? Check out the civilizations that had no exposure to Christianity. They stagnated. They came close to breakthroughs but never followed through - the Indians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Persians. The closest we got to an industrial revolution without Christianity, was during the Islamic Golden age (and we know that sans Christianity there's no Islam). The common thing is the universality of these religions. Every religion existed to defend the nation and other the outsiders, even Judaism. Christianity and Islam are pan- national. Having a brotherhood across various cultures gets more chance for interaction between ideas. Empires tried to be pan- national, and they couldn't. As much as they did, they progressed. Various religions put limiters on certain behaviors. The weird thing is, to satisfy these constraints, you end up with NEW ideas and NEW inventuons.
Very good video. As others have said, the Lord’s timing is perfect so Christ was born, crucified, and resurrected exactly at the appointed time. People who criticize this today are foolish and not realizing that they stand upon 2000 years of Christianity and fail to comprehend how hideously different the world would otherwise be.
I think that God didn't just come in the perfect timing, but the timing itself is within His infinite wisdom and within His control. I think He didn't wait for the right time, He has planned the right time, and kindly enough within his infinite wisdom to let glimpses of His wonderful, thoughtful, loving, sacred, and ultimately saving plan to reach the heart of few prophets in the old testament.
Great job. I remenber having to do an essay on this at college 20 years ago. Great summary in 8 minutes 😊 Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,
Question: as the gospel was slowly spreading across the world, millions were dying around the world in China, India, Africa. All with no chance for gospel understanding. What of them. Never heard a good answer on this.....
Brother, not sure if you're aware but at 7:09 there is an error. You had previously mentioned Daniel 9:25 in an earlier chapter but the quote at this time stamp was supposed to be from Ephesians 2:8-9. Great video and much love from across the pond. 🙏🇬🇧
Jon, you just brought peace to my being to what probably was my biggest unanswered question. Keep doing what I feel has to be your calling & gift which is spreading God's word in this modern time and using language that's receptive in today's time. From deep within me I thank you more than you'll ever know. God bless you brother.
I love Jesus so much. I pray for all non-believers to give Him a chance, repent, and follow Him. As a former agnostic, He changed me for the better. Sending love and prayers to all.
Love, love, love this video and message, thank you so much. Whenever I hear what you said about every other religion sending prophets to help people find God, but in Christianity, Jesus says "I'm God, come to find and reach you." I just start crying. Our God, our Lord, is SO GOOD. That kind of love is just mind-blowing, incomprehensible... that the One who created us and sustains yet we hurt the most, would come to die for us so that we can be saved. It just moves my heart so much. God bless you. And yes, Jesus came at the perfect time, and He will return at the perfect time. "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." ~Ecclesiastes 3:11
Amazing video, well done!! Man….. short, sweet, to the point. Great editing, well spoken, knowledgeable. I’m I the ONLY ONE, who just smacks the thumbs up BEFORE the little numbers get to 2-3 seconds? Why? Because I have that much confidence it’s going to be satisfying.

The youtuber has grown tremendously in his reverance and love for Christ. Wow, amazing. Dude I am so sorry for coming at you so hard in your early years.. greatd work I was hooked. i wished you had made a longer video. Excellent topic
"The Gospel is that I am so sinful that Jesus had to die for me, yet so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. I can't feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone." - Tim Keller
This is so profound. This would also explain how Islam was founded, yet after hearing about the death and resurrection of Christ they still reject His death
Thank you Jesus for the gift you gave all the world, that I have accepted with a humble but very happy heart. I’m so ready to meet you in my glorified body and live in your perfect kingdom! Lord come quickly.
Good job. You got the year right. Seventy-five days after his feasts are completed (Oct 11) is December 25, 2028. That is why we celebrate Christmas on Dec 25.
These atheists act as if the technologies we have today would have been around if Christianity didn't exist. The fact that most of the modern technology we have comes from western nations with major Christian influence or nations more westernized than their surrounding nations is a very important point.
@timojazz6829 the Holy Spirit has been guiding believers, and influencing non believers that want to do the right thing since the resurrection, for 2000 years now, without that influence this world would more than likely not exist at this time.
@@foreverendeavors6210 So is that why we've had slavery, mass murders, 2 world wars and potentially a 3rd. We've had religious feuds and mass killing over lands which BTW is directly linked to your holy spirit! We still have a continent that is marauded and pillaged by so called christian countries. The world is in turmoil, and christianity has played it's fair share in creating this mess!
We all sons and daughters of God and don't need to worship anyone because we are all one with God. He taught that we are always one with God and have never had been separated. It's our job accepted responsible and heal from our trauma. Jesus will open up healing place but only if we ask and accepted it. We can't wait for a savor because we are own savors. We must do our own inner work to heal the world. Jesus taught the Law of One to his followers and that we are all one with God at all times.
There are a million and 1 things you can point to in history to call it a "turning point" in history. Cooking food was a turning point. Creating tools was a turning point. Agriculture was a turning point. Towns and government were turning points. Written script was a turning point. Currency was a turning point. Ships and navigation were turning points. Foreign trade was a turning point. Tons of people had immense impacts on societies. Genghis Khan probably had a greater impact on modern Asia than Jesus did on Modern Europe.

5:22 Actually this happened in 445 BC, you have to use 483 years with 360 days (Rev 11:2-3), so in total we have 173880 Days which fits perfectly from March 14th 445BC (Decree to rebuild Jerusalem) till April 6th 32AD (Palm Sunday)
Recently found your channel. Thanks, love the work. I too love Cold Case Christianity and his awesome work. Often have I thought that if I wasn't already a Christian when I bumped into Wallace's work, I would have been before I finished it. Thanks again.
I saw Julian Gentry's video on this same topic a few months ago. But thank you for highlighting this topic exactly now! It's really pertinent, because that question does come up a lot among not-yet Christians. :) Bless you man, and keep doing what you do! Will definitely check out that book.
A brilliant analysis regarding the timing of Jesus’s salvific mission to the world. Underneath and implied in your presentation is place: Jesus also came to the center of the world, as it were - right where Asia, Africa and Europe come together. I think making this more explicit, arguing that the Messiah not only came at the perfect time but also came to the perfect place would complete your wonderful analysis.
At 7:10 the Bible quotation is wrong. It has Daniel 9:25 at the bottom but it should be Ephesians 2:8. I loved the video though! Keep up the good work!
People claiming that now is the perfect time for God the Son to encarnate don't know better, we have everything we have because God the Son already came down to His creation. Now is the perfect time to go back to Him and defend His kingdom on Earth. Viva Cristo Rey If we have all the tech we have today is because Jesus Christ came down exactly at the time it needed. God the Father and God the Son know better, we spend tenths of thousands of years and our civilization were not dumb. The ancient greeks had mathematics so complex that easy they could achieve a ton of tech advancement and this is true for many civilization before Christ. But we needed Him to come down and reveal His nature, plan of salvation and new covenant so we could develop in a better way.

The error of the people who think today would have been the perfect time for Jesus to come is that they think today's technology and science would be the same if Jesus hadn't come. But Christianity transformed society in a way that enabled science.
I'm not sure you are right about that. But if Jesus had not come until today, it makes sense to think that many more millions of people would end up in hell, because the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit would still not have gone to the world.
Exactly, our society now is because of Jesus
The Savior's coming was foretold from the very beginning, as early as the fall of man in Eden. Adam and Eve, upon hearing the promise of a Deliverer, hoped for its immediate fulfillment, yet centuries passed, and the promise remained unfulfilled. The delay was not due to a failure of the promise, but rather to God's perfect timing. The prophecy in the book of Daniel even revealed the exact timing of the Messiah's advent, although it was not fully understood by everyone. Despite the long wait, the timing was exact, aligning with God's divine schedule.
God’s providential hand was at work in the world, preparing it for the arrival of His Son. At that moment in history, the world was united under the Roman Empire, providing a relatively stable political environment. A common language, Greek, was spoken widely, facilitating communication across vast regions. This allowed the message of the gospel to spread rapidly once Christ had come. Additionally, Jews were dispersed across many nations, and during their pilgrimages to Jerusalem, they could hear of the Messiah and carry this news back to their respective countries.
At the time of Christ's coming, the world was in spiritual darkness. Heathenism was losing its grip, and people were disillusioned with the old religions, which offered no real hope or satisfaction. Even within Judaism, faith had dimmed, and the teachings of the prophets were largely misunderstood or ignored. However, there remained a remnant-a group of faithful Jews-who still looked forward to the Messiah, holding onto the promises of old. This spiritual decline among the masses created a deep longing for deliverance, making humanity more receptive to the Savior.
Satan had been working tirelessly to widen the gap between humanity and God, hoping to make it unbridgeable. His goal was to deepen humanity's degradation to the point where God's forbearance would end, and humanity would be abandoned to destruction. But God’s plan was different. Instead of condemning the world, God sent His Son to save it at the very moment when it seemed most lost. This act of divine grace was a demonstration of God's unwavering love for humanity.
At the very height of sin and despair, when Satan’s influence seemed unchallengeable, Jesus came to restore what had been lost. He came to redeem humanity, to reclaim the image of God in man that sin had marred. His mission was to defeat the powers of darkness, restore humanity to its intended glory, and bring about a new creation.
Christ came at the time He did because it was the divinely appointed moment when the conditions of the world, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the readiness of humanity all converged in what Paul describes as "the fullness of the time." This was the exact moment God had planned from the beginning, ensuring that His Son’s mission would be accomplished to its fullest extent, offering redemption and the promise of adoption as sons and daughters of God.
Well done, Sir!
You were made for this time! Be blessed!
except when it didn`t
christian d0gma made sure the ge0centric m0deI persisted f0r hundreds 0f years
despite c0pernicus and galileo
"Galileo's opinions were met with opposition within the Catholic Church, and in 1616 the Inquisition declared heliocentrism to be "formally heretical" "
this is n0t "enabIing science" its the exact 0pp0site
"Luther's sole concern was the plain and literal interpretation of the Bible. He said that Coperni- cus was putting things upside down because ''the Holy Scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun and not the earth to stand still. '' "
this is christian "enIightenment" enabIing science ?
"the Church banned Copernicus' "Des revolutionibus" for more than 200 years."
m0re christian enIightenment ?
"Italian scientist Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake for teaching, among other heretical ideas, Copernicus' heliocentric view of the Universe."
christians prepared t0 murder th0se wh0se ideas were c0ntrary t0 the churches
"The Church has not accepted heliocentrism"
the rest 0f the w0rId has, but the church has never 0fficiaIIy changed its p0siti0n as regards heIi0centrism
"Christianity transformed society in a way that enabled science" ????!!!
Imfa0.
Also another point: Jesus came when only 1% of the world’s entire historical population had been born. Literally the exponential population explosion happened after Jesus’ death. Perfect timing if you want to reach the maximum number of people.
Any reference to your claim?
Pls how do you come to this conclusion
The population reference bureau made these estimates.
I mean, humanity didn't experience exponential growth until the 18th century. So according to your logic, he could've came anytime before then.
However you have things like the black plague in the 13th century.
The North and South American continents being discovered in the 17th century. Also the Enlightenment in 17th - 18th century.
The dark ages beginning in 500 AD and lasting all the way until 1500 AD.
Also many people like Genghis Khan in the 12th-13th century.
And Islam would've been completely different, especially if Jesus existed in the same age Mohammad existed. Perhaps that big religious change would've meant something we do not have the knowledge of.
Perhaps if he came any later it wouldn't have sealed the impact he left.
Also the world tamed itself a lot more later on, so he probably wouldn't have been tortured like he was. Definitely still, especially during the dark ages, but perhaps not to the level that he was.
Too bad we passed the maximum.
Praise the LORD Jesus Christ
More people worship jesus christ today than ever before. 2024 years after he left. Thousands of years later jesus prophesies become true its actually freakin wild man. How he predicted such minute details thousands of years early its almost like as if he always existed always was never wasnt in the past present and future. He was here when there was no wifi bro no ibuprophen or antibiotics. Not even a car bro. Not even.a scooter or skayeboard. Not even roller blades bro. Guy rolled into town on a donkey or he walked.
Emphasis on the caps🫡🫱🏻🫲🏾
Jesus did not come to establish another religion, He came to extend His kingdom and reign here on earth. We belong to a Kingdom not a religion! 🙌🏾
King Jesus be praised!
Amen, friend.❤❤
That's not correct. Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world. He did not come the first time to establish any kingdom here
Remember Jesus's Kingdom is NOT of this world. When he comes back, he's going to take us to heaven with Him. Then after the earth is cleansed with fire, we'll come back.
Our Father who is in heaven Your Kingdoms comes and Your Will be done here on Earth as it is in Heaven…
Christ Is The Sower of The Kingdom Coming. The Word saying a thing and The Spirit manifesting according to The Word and One Work in Covenant with Life! Look how do you not see God’s Work.
God’s kingdom is not of this world, which is but the seed of the next one. And The Living Gods Kingdom is not a kingdom of dust manufactured, constructed and fabricated by the hands of man nor a thing of their imaginations!

Brilliant in what sense? You mean when he created Adam and Eve after the devil apparently had rebelled and fallen, then tempted the protagonists to sin? Great timing!

Matt Dillahunty fails to realize that today would not have been the optimal time for Jesus to come if Jesus hadn't come. Christianity laid the foundation for science, technology, industry, and other things that Dillahunty takes for granted.
Why not come when you can give everyone proof better than any time in history? Why come when The best way to spread your good word is by word of mouth?

100% true. Most people dont realize that. Also Jesus had to come before the destruction of the jewish Temple.

I wish! I am sick of this wicked world. But... He knows best. Sigh.
That’s what my grandma said. And what her grandma told her
It's been way worse if you were thinking it's bad now.
Definitely. But God ultimately knows when the right timing for His second coming is just as it was for His first coming.
I learned a great deal from this. In a world that seems to being going insane hearing the life of Jesus is so good to listen to. I am so glad He saved my soul. Thank you for shing this.
He did come at the perfect time but it’s not the only time. We believe in the second coming and look forward to it in faith.

Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God is everything ❤❤❤
Gald I saw this video. I literally prayed just the other day and asked God to show me his truth. Not anything watered down by man. I asked him to show me how to live and show me what I should really know. Watched this video and I was like hummmm this is very good like I wanted to know more. Then saw it was a book you read and was promoting. So I literally just went on Amazon and ordered this. It may not be from God but I always keep my eyes opens for his signs. But to me after the prayer this video and me wanting to know more. I'll take it as a strong maybe lol. Amazon said arriving tomorrow lol so God willing ill be able to have a very good new read. Thank you brother keep up the great videos. God bless and a🙏 ❤.
That was so concise and easy for ppl to comprehend!!! Its so difficult to try to explain this to ppl who seem to only want to over think and over complicate everything as some way they can reject and deny the Truth! I get it. I was there myself for most of my life…until I got smacked upside my head…. by HIM I now 💯 know to be REAL!!! And I didn’t deny, reject, or talk myself out of it afterwards… I embraced Him and I’ve fought to keep the doubts out of my mind and be open to every message he sends me…. I have to say that it’s scary and terrifying sometimes because it’s sooooo direct and undeniably impossible to explain away as a coincidence etc…. The more you lean into it the more you ask Him and accept Him and believe Him the more He gives you knowledge and confirmation that’s so amazing it’s like an electric shock of pure truth and intention that runs right through you! It’s intense! And I am sooo Grateful!!!
🙏✝️❤️
PRAISE GOD
All true. And Daniel prophesied the timing exactly ... pretty incredible. 😮
I learned that in school in gospels class (it’s a private school) Daniel does predict when Jesus would come and in what empire. It’s crazy
@@PoppinPsinceAD33 Daniel 9:20-27. Verse 25 -- in 457 BC Artaxerxes sends the Jewish nation back to rebuild. 7 and 62 "sevens" (years) go by (483 yrs to 27 AD) and in the middle of the next "seven" the prophecy of the Anointed One happens. 🤯
@@coulie27And somehow many modern religions claim that the one that comes in the middle of the last week is to be the antichrist
@coulie27 you're just two years off,it was in *455 B.C.E.* that governor Nehemiah was given the permission by King Artaxerxes to go and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem therefore securing perimeter of the Temple area,thus long story short it was in *29 C.E.* that Jesus approached his cousin John the Baptist to be baptized by him,thus from that moment he became the anointed Messiah and designated King of his Father's Kingdom while on Earth for the next *3.5years* before he was executed in *33C.E.* by his own people the Jews who didn't accepted him as the Promised Messiah!!
@ChevyNova632bigblockchevy it's just unreal, prophesied 483 years beforehand. 🤯

History and Christianity go hand-in-hand. Great historical points to go with the Message.
Holy Spirit, direct me in my career, and finances. As a single mother with two children with special needs life is an overwhelming journey, especially because I’m constantly faced with financial difficulties. Lord I struggle to provide the basic necessities for my sons, like groceries and rent. I pray for your divine intervention in my life, that you would provide for my children’s needs and guide me towards financial stability in Jesus name I pray.❤️
Amen. May God bless you. The Lord sees you and shall cover you giving you peace
Matt Chapter 6 verse 33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Open your mind to the fact that God knows your struggles, and it is imperative that you stop anything extra that can drain away your finances at this time. It will be hard but only then he will guide you to a better situation financially. May peace be with you! 🕉 🛕 🙏

Is it allowed in Christian religion for a lady to be pregnant and have kids without being legally married?
I never get tired of hearing the gospel, even so on this channel.
Very well done, Jon. I've rarely seen the whole panorama explained so well. You did an awesome job!! Thanks for referencing the prophecy in Daniel 9, too. Many people don't get the importance of the 483 yrs from the time of Artaxerxes decree to the time of Jesus' ministry. You really nailed it though.
I'm going to try to get the book you mention! God bless and keep you, your family and ministry!
I would love for Jesus to come back, but I truly believe he has already started having more and more influence, Christians are getting stronger in faith and spirit sure there is gonna be opposition but eventually truth will win, praise his name and hold onto Jesus christ of nasareath our prayers will be answered by his name. Pray for peace, pray for love in christs name

Yep agreed @losthopehero it is a quote of Ephesians 2v8. Great video and have read the book 👍
I was just about to comment the same thing. Good catch.
Yeah, this sent me on a wild goose chase for like 20 minutes. Super confusing
Funny, I just went to comment the same thing
Another thing commonly missed by those who think Jesus should've come today is the fact that the technological and scientific progress we've made that allows for our greater levels of communication may not have been possible without the rise of Christianity. The belief that an intelligent God made the universe and governs it according to certain natural laws lead many to believe the universe was intelligible, which is somewhat of a prerequisite for scientific progress.
Wrong lol
Without the jews you mean@@LuisContreras-pw8wj
Did people not believe in God before Jesus? History would look different but why would human progression stop?
@@LuisContreras-pw8wjlooks like youre wrong. You disagree with isaac newton who discovered the universal laws of physics that existed already and werent made by earthly humans? How can the universe be governed bro, by laws. Governed by laws the universe. The universe governed by laws bro. Laws govern the universe that meams there is a very high intellogence that set the universal laws. Thats what isaac newton proved he discovered that objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
@@TheAnnoyingBoss God created the laws of the universe, so the proof of god's existence is our ability to find them? Universal laws exist, therefore god must exist, that's your argument, right? So now tell me, what evidence do you have to support that god created those laws?
There is also a sense His arrival was pre-planned and on schedule.
Dr. Heiser did make a video where he goes through some of the teachings that were being taught by the rabbis during the second Temple period. The Holy Spirit was very active and started to prepare and educate His people a few generations ahead of His arrival.
That's awesome! Any idea what the video is called?
@@Sylver_Echo2923 I believe it was produced in The Naked Bible series of podcasts.
I would have to guess it was on the topic of Colossians.
Well literally John the Baptist was called to prepare the way of the Lord and he began preaching and baptizing people. He was the forerunner.
@@wilsonsmanz You ever wonder where John the Baptist received his education from?
I wish i could remember the Heiser episode, not that the Colossians is not eye opening as well.
19th century scholars believed that letter was not written by Paul because it contains gnostic concepts that were not written about until much later after his death. But guess what?
With the discovery of the DSS, those concepts were written about prior to Paul being born. He was confronting them at the Colossian church. It was definitely written by Paul.
Philo of Alexandria comes to mind. Pretty stunning how close he got.
From Clement, thanks Lord Jesus hallelujah shalom amen!!!
"Why didn't Jesus come today when we have all this technology and global communication?"
Y'all don't understand... We likely wouldn't have all the technology and global communication if He hadn't come 2000 years ago.
Aside from the perfection of the timing that Jon explains in this video, you need to understand the sheer amount of influence Jesus had on the world. Huge amounts of our fundamental science and art were discovered or invented by Christians of one sort or another. The reason we have the technology we have is because the legacy of Jesus inspired people to seek to better understand the world around them in order to grow closer to God.
Even the printing press was invented largely to more easily copy the Bible and spread the word of God.
If Jesus hadn't come two millennia ago, most of what we know and have today likely would not be known or exist.
Why do you think this? Humans have progressed before Jesus came why would they stop progressing if he decided to come 2000 years later?
@stephendaniels4818 you wanna know what would have happened? Check out the civilizations that had no exposure to Christianity. They stagnated. They came close to breakthroughs but never followed through - the Indians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Persians.
The closest we got to an industrial revolution without Christianity, was during the Islamic Golden age (and we know that sans Christianity there's no Islam).
The common thing is the universality of these religions. Every religion existed to defend the nation and other the outsiders, even Judaism. Christianity and Islam are pan- national. Having a brotherhood across various cultures gets more chance for interaction between ideas.
Empires tried to be pan- national, and they couldn't. As much as they did, they progressed.
Various religions put limiters on certain behaviors. The weird thing is, to satisfy these constraints, you end up with NEW ideas and NEW inventuons.
That’s an amazing point. God bless your soul
Jesus will come again, have people forgotten? There is nothing to say he wont come now.
Very good video. As others have said, the Lord’s timing is perfect so Christ was born, crucified, and resurrected exactly at the appointed time. People who criticize this today are foolish and not realizing that they stand upon 2000 years of Christianity and fail to comprehend how hideously different the world would otherwise be.
I think that God didn't just come in the perfect timing, but the timing itself is within His infinite wisdom and within His control. I think He didn't wait for the right time, He has planned the right time, and kindly enough within his infinite wisdom to let glimpses of His wonderful, thoughtful, loving, sacred, and ultimately saving plan to reach the heart of few prophets in the old testament.
Thank you 🙏. Man, I was THINKING about this recently … WHY was He alive at that time. This was PERFECT. God bless

I love Jesus so much. I pray for all non-believers to give Him a chance, repent, and follow Him. As a former agnostic, He changed me for the better. Sending love and prayers to all.
That’s cool. I hate Jesus. He lets children get abducted everyday and chopped up sold for organs.
Shout out god thank him for that 🙏🙏🙏💀💀💀
Love, love, love this video and message, thank you so much. Whenever I hear what you said about every other religion sending prophets to help people find God, but in Christianity, Jesus says "I'm God, come to find and reach you." I just start crying. Our God, our Lord, is SO GOOD. That kind of love is just mind-blowing, incomprehensible... that the One who created us and sustains yet we hurt the most, would come to die for us so that we can be saved. It just moves my heart so much. God bless you. And yes, Jesus came at the perfect time, and He will return at the perfect time. "He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." ~Ecclesiastes 3:11

These atheists act as if the technologies we have today would have been around if Christianity didn't exist. The fact that most of the modern technology we have comes from western nations with major Christian influence or nations more westernized than their surrounding nations is a very important point.
The no.1 facilitator of technological growth is war and expansion and nobody loved war and expansion quite as much as Europeans.

We all sons and daughters of God and don't need to worship anyone because we are all one with God. He taught that we are always one with God and have never had been separated. It's our job accepted responsible and heal from our trauma. Jesus will open up healing place but only if we ask and accepted it. We can't wait for a savor because we are own savors. We must do our own inner work to heal the world. Jesus taught the Law of One to his followers and that we are all one with God at all times.

My take is that this is why Israel was God's firstborn. He tried to tell other societies what he would do, but they seemed to get it twisted.
It’s amazing how God brings people to him through different certain ways

I have never thought of Christ coming to earth from this perspective. The points mentioned in the video make purfect sense indeed. Thank you, Jon!
One of many reasons that Jesis is the most important man in history is that the years surrounding his birth was literally the turning point of history
The belief of Jesus is. Jesus himself, no
@@MegaeffinGarchomp17 Jesus himself, obviously
There are a million and 1 things you can point to in history to call it a "turning point" in history. Cooking food was a turning point. Creating tools was a turning point. Agriculture was a turning point. Towns and government were turning points. Written script was a turning point. Currency was a turning point. Ships and navigation were turning points. Foreign trade was a turning point. Tons of people had immense impacts on societies. Genghis Khan probably had a greater impact on modern Asia than Jesus did on Modern Europe.

A brilliant analysis regarding the timing of Jesus’s salvific mission to the world. Underneath and implied in your presentation is place: Jesus also came to the center of the world, as it were - right where Asia, Africa and Europe come together. I think making this more explicit, arguing that the Messiah not only came at the perfect time but also came to the perfect place would complete your wonderful analysis.
Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Gods timing is always perfect 😊😊
He made the sand box. Id say he can play in it at his choosing.

At 7:10 the Bible quotation is wrong. It has Daniel 9:25 at the bottom but it should be Ephesians 2:8. I loved the video though! Keep up the good work!
I too was like wait a minute, I dont think thats in Daniel. Great video, I want to get the book now.
Excellent video!! Thank you for spreading God’s word ! 🥰
People claiming that now is the perfect time for God the Son to encarnate don't know better, we have everything we have because God the Son already came down to His creation. Now is the perfect time to go back to Him and defend His kingdom on Earth. Viva Cristo Rey
If we have all the tech we have today is because Jesus Christ came down exactly at the time it needed. God the Father and God the Son know better, we spend tenths of thousands of years and our civilization were not dumb. The ancient greeks had mathematics so complex that easy they could achieve a ton of tech advancement and this is true for many civilization before Christ. But we needed Him to come down and reveal His nature, plan of salvation and new covenant so we could develop in a better way.
Even technology may have started with the steam engine in late 1700s
Also, telegraph had to be invented
Before lightbulb
Good work Brother. God Bless You.
The craziest reason Jesus had to come exactly when he did:
Daniel 9 foretold that the Messiah would die in AD 33 🤯
God does what He wants, where He wants, when He wants, with whom He wants, and it'll always be perfect.
The same since forever until forever
the Bible verse mentioned is Ephesians 2:8, not Daniel 9:25. just thought that should be clarified. great video! :)
Certainly agree. Jesus timing is perfect coz God is omniscient! 💯🙏
