The Ascension

The ascension is described by Paul in his letter to the Philippians as if it were his triumphal entry. He also says that Jesus was bestowed with a name that is above every name. But, what would this have meant for a first century Jew who knew that the name above every name was the LORD, YHWH? And, what can this passage from Philippians tell us not only of Jesus' ascension but that of the Trinity? Check out this video with Dr. Brant Pitre and find out.
