I've studied Christian theology, including eschatology, for over 25 years and have changed my end-times views twice. It's a highly complex subject. I'm very impressed by the clarity, accuracy, and degree of detail you were able to compress into a 20-minute video.

John is the ultimate Gigachad
>writes letter about end times
>uses heavy, almost undeciraphable symbolism
>refuses to elaborate
>dies peacefully of old age on Patmos

I'm starting to get a little bit freaked out by the sheer scale of this guy's scholarship. I've watched 3 or 4 of his videos now, and as deep as the rabbit hole goes, this guy pretty much knows it all. Very impressive stuff.

The fact that you clarified the nativity scene as actually being in their house per Matthew earned me as a subscriber. Well done.

I really like this channel. Thank you for teaching us at no charge. This is all really complicated to me, not going to lie, but I enjoy it. I've been getting back into Christianity and I'm trying to find the right Church for me

Oh my gosh, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated this video!! I am watching it now for the second time.

I can’t wait for Tuesday evening! I placed it on my calendar and I have the notification button turned on!!

Thank you!!!!

Man, my head is spinning. And that's even with your video which lays it out better than I have seen before. You are right that lots of people throw these terms around without explanation, so thank you for doing this!

Loved your display of humor in this video. You should let your humor shine through more often. Definitely had me laughing.

[ElasticGiraffe]

It would be awesome to see this turned into a series (with anthropology, soteriology, hamartiology, protology, and theories of the interval between death and judgment, for example). Awesome videos! Your channel fills a great niche, and your careful and charitable presentation is fantastic.

I will probably have to watch this 2 or 3 times, but no other video out there has this much information organized and packed into 20 minutes.

[abrahamel-gothamy]

I appreciated your professor style dad jokes!

I admit, I am a little obsessed with eschatology. Was raised charismatic rapture dispy premill and 9 yrs ago "reformed" where now my views sit somewhere in the amil/post mil/partial preterist camp. Oh man been a journey.😂 Great vid and content. Keep it up brother. God bless

[TurtleDude]

I love the snarky humor in the commentary. I'm not used to seeing that side of Josh come out, and it's a refreshing change.

[milesrupert]

Thank you so much for all of your work, brother! It has blessed me and brought such clarity to my life.

Very good neutral and unbiased analysis! As an amillennial preterist, I think you did a great job representing my views (which are very close to Akin’s). Very interested in seeing you cover Schweitzer in your follow-up, he’s both really interesting and kind of annoying to deal with in terms of debates around Christianity with how many atheists tend to treat his work as more of an authoritiative gospel than the actual Gospels.

[matthewrappe]

This is the video I've been waiting for! I think a couple weeks ago I tried to see if RTH had a video on this, because I really didn't understand the basic views. Thank you so much! This is going to be a video I keep coming back to.

[YaboiOGOC]

Thank you so much for this! A lot of academic terminology like “millennial” and “pre/post millennial” can be really confusing and hard to wrap your head around as a lay person

This channel is one of the best channels on YouTube - thank you for your clear explanations and succinct presentations (along with your downloads for self-study).

I have always wondered about this and while I am still somewhat confused, this is a good explanation
