Fatscript Episode 10, Joel 2 and the New Testament Connection

In today's episode, we arrive at last in Joel 2 at the key points in Joel's description of "the day of Yahweh" that in light of the earliest Christians' experience, pushed all their buttons.


With respect to my own hypothesis of the Triune Hub, Joel draws into light the third key mutation of the nature of the arrival of the Kingdom of God in first century Christianity, as developed by John Dominic Crossan (https://www.johndominiccrossan.com/).

Apologies for some of the truncation in the audio today in the second half. This was due to me holding the mic too far from my mouth and general incompetence.

Jesus with his prophetic hat on

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near....

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 

Luke 21:27&33

Ready for some me-controversy? Many scholars these days see judgements and warnings like these to be specifically related to the fall of Jerusalem in 68. See v20 for example: When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies...

When Jesus says "at THAT time", it might feel familiar to you. In the sense Old-Testament-prophetic familiar. We already know that at least on Earth, Jesus did not have perfect knowledge, and neither did the prophets, God spokespersons. They would sometimes telescope several events together, focusing more on grand-scale events. Could that be what is happening here? How else can we understand that "that"?
