Listen "Advent Through History: From 600 BC to Today"
Episode Synopsis
As Advent begins, the Church invites us to reflect on prophetic texts that illuminate the season's profound themes of hope and expectation. This week, we delve into the prophet Jeremiah, focusing on his ministry during the late 600s BC under King Josiah's reign. By exploring the historical backdrop of Jerusalem's turmoil and exile, we uncover the depth of Jeremiah's prophecy about a "righteous branch" springing from David's line. In the Gospel, the Church continues the apocalyptic theme, drawing connections between the Jewish people's longing for a Messiah and our own anticipation of Christ’s return. Join us as we trace the threads of history and prophecy, unveiling the timeless message of Advent: hope in the fulfillment of God’s promises.
