So I'll tell

you what it doesn't mean.

It doesn't mean you can go to heaven when you die.

Which is really a surprising thing because that's what most people read that to say.

The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

It means you're going to go to heaven when you die.

That seems like, you know, that's the good news.

What should we be pulling out of this teaching of Jesus?

that's the intuitive understanding

that 100 would be my understanding as well um going back to our deserted island um you know where we only have matthew mark and luke That's the conclusion I would reach is we all need to become Jewish.

We all need to, because he says, go out and teach the nations, make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, immersing them in my name, immersing.

in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, immersing in my name.

Well, immersion is part of the conversion ritual for a Gentile to become Jewish.

So if I was one of the apostles getting this message, I'd be like, oh, okay, I guess we're going to the nations, and we're going to bring the nations into Israel.

And that's exactly what we see going on in the New Testament.

Yeah, yeah.
