In the New Testament, we find a powerful expectation: the Kingdom of God was near, the end of the ages was imminent, and history itself was about to be transformed.

Jesus spoke of it.
Paul expected it.
Revelation envisioned it.

But it never happened.

In this episode of MythVision, I sit down with renowned historian Paula Fredriksen to examine one of the most important and emotionally charged questions in Christian history:

👉 What exactly did Jesus and his earliest followers expect — and why didn’t it happen?

We explore:

• Apocalyptic expectations in Second Temple Judaism

• Jesus and the imminent Kingdom of God

• Paul’s belief that he would live to see the end

• Resurrection, cosmic transformation, and “star bodies”

• Why failed prophecies don’t kill movements — they evolve

• How Christianity reinterpreted apocalyptic failure

This conversation is deeply personal, historically grounded, and academically rigorous — especially for those who grew up fearing the end of the world.
