I tell you what, years from now, it's going to be really difficult for people to look

back on this era in history and really nail down what team thought what, who the tribes

were, what their opinions are.

It feels like to you and me as we poke around on social media and Twitter and whatnot,

we're like, oh yeah, we get where everybody stands and this is definitely a dog whistle

for that opinion and people who think this, man, it's a litmus test.

They always also think this, this, this and this and we think we get it, but that is

a very temporary getting it because stuff moves so quick, stuff shifts so quickly.

You look at the opinions that have surrounded the last couple of years as I record this

regarding the pandemic, man, stuff that was dead wrong a year ago is now dead right today.

And if you thought it a year ago, you were on one political team, but if you think the

exact same thing now, well, then you're actually on the other political team.

So if people 2000 years from now want to look back on this moment and really pin down

who thought what, man, they had better be very precise as to exactly when they were talking

about.

So when we talk about the political parties in play during the time of Christ, whether

it's one of these super minority parties like the Herodians who barely come up at all,

but who did come up in Matthew 22, whether you're talking about one of those little parties,

like the Herodians or the big boy party that being the Pharisees.

Anytime you come out and say, man, this is how they were.

The immediate responsible follow up question to that statement should be, yeah, but when

because it did change, you get the Pharisees, they're the biggest, the second biggest
