šļø INTRO
Shalom, and grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Welcome to The Notes I Leave podcast.
The Hebrew word āshalomā signifies more than mere peace; it signifies wholeness, completeness, well-being, harmony with God and others. All of which, I wish for you.
The purpose of this podcast is to share the diverse experiences I encounter as a professor, teacher, entrepreneur, student, father, son, brother, and follower of Christ Jesus. These notes are intended for you, now and in the future.

š MAIN MESSAGE
š This weekās theme:
In this episode, I discuss how Christians view end times (eschatology) in reference to the tribulation.
š Anchor verse(s):
15 āTherefore when you see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), 16 then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 17 āWhoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house. 18 āWhoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak. 19 āBut woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! 20 āBut pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath. 21 āFor then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. 22 āUnless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 āThen if anyone says to you, āBehold, here is the Christ,ā or āThere He is,ā do not believe him. 24 āFor false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. 25 āBehold, I have told you in advance. 26 āSo if they say to you, āBehold, He is in the wilderness,ā do not go out, or, āBehold, He is in the inner rooms,ā do not believe them. 27 āFor just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 āWherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
Matthew 24:15-28, New American Standard Bible, 1995
š Application or takeaway:
The Lord has placed on my heart to share what I learned in a systematic theology course last spring.

š TRANSITION TO MEMBERS
That is the heart of what the Lord laid on me this weekābut for those of you walking this journey further with me, there is a deeper side I want to share; in the members-only section, Iāll be opening up about how this career change challenged me as a father and a disciple.
But first, I would like to leave you with a quote and question.
š Quote:
"This passage of Daniel is exceeding deep, but it teaches us at least this much: that there is a fixed and certain time when God will accomplish His purposes, both of mercy and of judgment, toward His ancient people and toward the world."
āCharles Spurgeon
āļø Question:
What is your view of the tribulation period and is it a means of division or education amongst Christian brothers and sisters?
