From Dry Bones to the Kingdom: Dr. Alicia Jackson on Ezekiel and Eschatology

In this episode, I welcome Dr. Alicia Jackson, an assistant professor of Old Testament at Vanguard University, who specializes in the book of Ezekiel. We explore the concepts of eschatology (end times) and missiology (mission of the church), particularly within the Pentecostal movement. Dr. Jackson explains the inherent eschatological nature of Pentecostalism and the urgency for gospel witness. We discuss the early Pentecostal views, how they evolved, and their implications on modern beliefs, particularly concerning Israel and Palestine. Dr. Jackson emphasizes the importance of keeping a heart for mission and gospel witness, regardless of one's eschatological views. Our conversation also touched on Dr. Jackson's research on Ezekiel and her current work on Israel and Palestine.
