In this episode, Dr John explores the judgment of individuals and judgment of the World , referencing contributions from Greek philosophers, Plato and Stoic to these concepts.
Jewish and Christian writings of the period, including the New Testament and apocalyptic works like The Book of Revelation, incorporate and adapt these ideas into narratives of cosmic renewal, resurrection, and final judgment. The discussion highlights how these theological frameworks address both present tribulations and the ultimate fulfilment of God's covenant.
