  • The Christmas Timeline: When Was Jesus Really Born and Who Were the Magi?
    Dec 16 2025

    In this episode of The Universe Next Door we trace the Christmas narrative across Matthew and Luke, highlighting genealogy differences, the angels’ announcements to Mary and Joseph, and the fulfillment of the Davidic covenant (throne, house, kingdom).

    We unpack the timing and identity of the Magi and propose a compelling birth date for Jesus—September 11, 3 BC—drawing on Revelation 12 and astronomical signs.

    The Genealogy episode has vanished, here's another one on Santa Claus:

  • Why Does Jesus Call Himself the 'Son of Man?'
    Oct 7 2025

    This episode examines why Jesus refers to Himself as the "Son of Man," tracing the term back to Daniel 7 and its Old Testament context.

    It explains how Jesus’ words about coming on the clouds and sitting at the right hand of the Ancient of Days were recognized by Jewish leaders as claims to deity, and how the passage relates to the divine council and the two powers in heaven.

    Have you ever wondered why there were certain expectations in the New Testament as to what Jesus was expected to do?

    Nick explores first-century Jewish expectations about the coming Messiah, which Old Testament prophecies were recognized and which were missed, and how Jesus’ miracles, exorcisms, death, and resurrection fulfilled Scripture (and extra-biblical expectations) in surprising ways.
