I am 70 years old and lost most of my family over the years. I grew up in a strong Italian American family. Great neighbors and friends. Working class people with hearts of gold. No matter what they suffered through coming to a new country and proud of being here they persevered no matter the adversity. Many fought in world wars and worked hard through the depression. Tough labor jobs. Yet they were always there with a strength and pride that is for the most part lost in this country. For a while after WW 2 my parents and I lived upstairs with my grandparents and my aunt and uncle and cousin lived downstairs with my great grandparents No matter where you went you knew someone and they kept an eye on you. It was rough but we were safe. One by one they all passed away and the city we lived in is a shell of what it was. Upstate NY has been destroyed by corruption and greed of Albany NY, NYC and both parties that go along with shysters and money changers. In November I lost my son. At just 44. I know between covid and the vaccine it went from being tired to getting a call he passed. We were going to bring him and his wife some organic food and good vitamins thinking all was well. Now I don't get a call at night from him and those that caused this weaponized virus and made billions with immunity get away with the pain and suffering they caused in the world... it's sickening and now they are pushing for WW3....I hope there is another world when we leave this existence. A better place with family and friends. I know those in power believe in something else and have used religion to weaken us through our kindness. They don't care about kindness. They want power and wealth and never are satisfied. No matter what I have great memories and these puppet masters can laugh and sip brandy and worse but those of us that lived in a different time know what honor and integrity is and what it can be. That is why the power brokers want to destroy the family. I hope there is Divine Justice because there is none on earth.
I'm so very sorry for your loss, sir. I for one believe that you will see your son again. They say if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere, but I say if you can survive the loss of a child, that is the true test of endurance and courage, it makes making it in New York seem like nothing. I'm so very sorry that you lost your son needlessly to covid. I feel for you.
Amen. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts with us. I understand the impact all this has had on you and so many people. Psalm 56:8 says that God has a bottle where he keeps our tears, and they are recorded in his book. and in verse 9 it says "...This I know. God is for me." He loves you, and is aware of your tears and has a record of all you have gone through. The Bible says in 2Corinthians 4:4 that satan is the god of this world and has blinded people from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." Also 2Corinthians 1:20 says that all of the promises of God, are yes in Jesus, and in Jesus is our amen. In other words all of the promises in the Hebrew Scriptures will be fulfilled in Jesus. So if we place our hope in him we wont be disappointed. Romans 5:1-8 Love and blessings.♥
Judica me, Deus et discerna causam meam de gente non sancta. Ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me. Quia tu es fortitudo mea. Quare repulisti me et quare tristus incedo, dum afligit me inimicus? Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam, ipsa me deduxerunt et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernacula tua... Et introibo ad altare Dei... Ad Deum qui laetificat juventutum meam.... ... spera in Deo... quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei et Deus meus. I would hope you might remember this at 70, being Italian and all, and it might give you comfort to remember the old ways. I too remember. And will remember you and yours. God bless.
I know what u mean. But please remember, the jews walked to the death chambers thinking it'll be ok.there comes a time when we must take back righteousness. Did not Moses kill Egyptian guards for wiping the workers.
In Jewish choir we sing 2 songs out of that section of Isaiah: "Ki Mitzion Tetze Torah, U'dvar Adonai MiY'rushalaim" and "Lo Yisa Goy el Goy Kherev, v'lo yimldu od milchama"
Thanks again for another insightful and educational video. Love your channel! You have blessed us richly by sharing your research, knowledge and wisdom. May Hashem bless you tenfold, Dr. Tabor!
This is very informative and paints a development perspective of resurrection, judgement and the answer to the question of “justice”. Job however has less to say about justice and more to say about about his eternal separation from God once going down to Sheol, how God will miss his creations, that once his sins are forgiven, God will seek Job.
I've been bingeing on this series, it's entirely fascinating. Your excellent delivery of all various writings, tablets, different bibles, accounts etc is engrossing I have to thank you for objectively organising these talks. Amazing to follow your studied approach and readings I'm getting such an education on religion in the historical time periods and the progression of early cultures n beliefs etc. The power of writing. It's all so interesting I'm literally starting to envision job... Socrates on his death bed. I'm not religious, I'm Polynesian culture n grew up in Australia with aboriginal family. But I am respectful n have an open mind. I'm glad you are respectful too n so passionate to do these vids on TH-cam for free. You are nailing it man. The anthropology n how text evolves. Your the David attenborough of a critically important subject I never thought I could truly want to deep dive. But I'm watching every episode n noting Corinthians chapters on a notepad. It's 1am in Brisbane Australia right now but... I wanna know what kind of body too? Your a brilliant and kind man. .
I just saw a photo of your son, David, Dr. Tabor. It was a beautiful tribute that you wrote for him. It was very touching especially the part about how a parent would trade places if they could. I'm sorry that he had to suffer. I was taken back by his photo because he looks like images I've seen of Jesus Christ. I just bought his novel Tequila Dämmerig and look forward to reading it. I'm very drawn to creative people with imaginative minds. 🧚♀
Thank you so much Dr. Tabor for making this series on TH-cam where everyone can see it. Your lectures put together so many things I've been trying to understand individually. I loved it so much I watched all four lectures on two days. I can't express how excited I am for the next chapters! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I’m so glad you’re doing this series. I was recently thinking to myself that I wanted to know more about what the Hebrews believed about the afterlife and how other cultures influenced it. Good timing! Great insight and thank you so much for imparting your knowledge
Wow! My Faith is being Prune. I am now dividing, digesting and separating various Views I heard which was a burden in my mind through this series. God bless you Sir for letting us to know the origins of what people believes including myself. Now I can choose what to hold on to by knowing the origins. Live long thank You.
Just started this series with this! I'll scoot back and catch up! excellent lecture and very clear. Ive taken a few months away from you, Myth Vision, Gnostic Informant and History Valley and everyone seems to have really upped their game! Thank you.
I really enjoyed this lecture, Dr. Tabor. I am so very sorry about the loss of your son, David, Dr. Tabor. There is nothing in the entire world more devastating than losing a child. It's almost impossible to recover from. He was a phenomenal artist. I want to say is not was because I believe with everything in me that he will live again. It actually brought tears to my eyes to hear of your tremendous loss. We've all suffered way too much in this life and if not for hope in something more what was it all for? I've known about the words from Isaiah on the United Nations Building and the sculpture for years, but I had no idea it was a gift from the Soviet Union, that is truly amazing!
I have learned a lot from the five lectures. I gather you are now reaching the time in the evolution of the afterlife ideas where we will learn how the modern church teaches that when a saved person dies they immediately go to heaven and be with those who already past BUT there will be the final judgment when the dead shall be raised to heaven. Based on this presentation, in particular, I project the explanation is that the modern fundamentalist church has to teach both as both are in the Bible and avoid the inconvenience of the contradictory stories. Your son's painting will always come to mind when I think of "the dead being raised" as do the simple cartoon-like drawings in Sunday school books from my childhood that showed people standing in graves looking up to heaven. Looking forward No. 6.
Hello Dr. Tabor! A few years ago I read your "Paul and Jesus" book. It was so good that I read it over the course of 2 days; I couldn't put it down. Awesome stuff. I am enjoying your lectures; they are truly a gift of knowledge. Thank you. I did notice one minor thing in this video: asps and adders are actually snakes, not insects.
Some of my favorite you tube videos are anamial rescue videos. It reminds me of the inspiring words in this video. Perhaps we are heading in right direction.
This excellent presentation is mostly in line with what I learnt to become a Christadelphian in the 1970s before leaving in 1984. Christadelphians as fundamentalists, however, were lacking as they did not understand that the Bible writers had a progression of views over time due to cultural influences as a result of the influence of the Zoroastrian Persians adding an End judgement, a super human judge, and resurrection. Dr. G. Craig Fairweather.
Exceptional video. I should also point out that the changing eschatology between Pre-Isaiah, First Isaiah, second Isaiah and Daniel also parallels the changing view of god as we go from the Two kingdoms and many gods, to the fallen gods of the northern kingdom, to the god betrayers of the fall of Jerusalem, to the redeamer sole god of Jehud, to the view of YHWH LHM as the only god.
Hi Dr. Tabor, I wanted to know what you make about the fact that Job's statement in regards to his redeemer is phrased as a knowledge claim, is that subordinate to the wishful sentiment of the claims for his case to be written or in contrast? Are verse 28-29 discussing the persecution of that redeemer on behalf of his failure to see Job's supposed sin?
@Tabor Dr. Tabor, this may be coming up later, but you mention the body and the soul in the Egyptian portion and I wondered have all cultures and religions always considered them as two distinct entities? I wonder because in Judaism, one of the morning prayer describes the reunification of the two at some point after death although I thought Judaism saw them as indivisible? Thanks!
Synchronicity. I just talked about the confusion of time, because most only think of beginnings and endings, but the fulcrum of a better timeline is in finding the perfect midpoint to dance around in more and more freed will.
I take issue with James about the passage from Ecclesiastes/Qoholet: it IS a wonderful, inspiring reading for a funeral (we used it for my mother's funeral). I have never understood the prevailing obsession among those with a marked religious commitment with HAVING to have a life after death (as if a single human life - out of billions of such lives - was somehow cosmically precious...)
Hey, that's Derek's place. My half-baked question that I'm not looking for an answer to: Was there something within Judaism that was driving the change over the centuries from believing when you die you stay dead, to the later the idea the dead will rise at the end of days (not everyone believing ithat of course)? Was it simply exposure to Greek and Egyptian philosophy that made the Jewish prophets incorporate their ideas (intentionally or unintentionally) into their religion because they just seemed more satisfying? Or maybe some event that started to move towards eschatology, like the two exiles? Anyways, thank you as always Dr Tabor for these videos and continuing to teach even after retirement. 🙂
What about Isaiah 26:19? _But your dead will live, Lord;_ _their bodies will rise-_ _let those who dwell in the dust_ _wake up and shout for joy-_ _your dew is like the dew of the morning;_ _the earth will give birth to her dead._
The King James version says, "yet IN my flesh shall I see God". Job 19: 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
IF you have put on incorruption and immortality by the new birth, you never die. You rise immediately to be with the Father. If you are anointed by God, you already part of the new creation.
Yes, and regarding the thief on the cross. This idea of sleep until Judgement by the Messiah holds true. The robber said remember me ‘when’ :Jesus gave assurance on that very day of crucifixion , ‘this day’’ comma, that when he comes into his Kingdom on earth, and makes it a Paradise, the robber would be there too.
Not "without my flesh", but "from my flesh" as Hebrew word "min" overwhelmingly being translated as "from" and only in one or two occasions as "without". Also that perfectly paired with verse 27 "my own eyes shall see and not stranger's"
I’m curious about the directly opposing views that Judaism faced in the religions of Baal, Moloch, etc. most people in these discussions don’t speak directly to those forces but in the more generic. Is that because we don’t have a good understanding of those religions from a practical view?
Believers Who Have Died 13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Dr. Tabor, I’m the commenter who asked you about Job 19. Thank you so much for your response! Your interpretation of the “redeemer” is one I’ve not heard before, and I found it quite interesting. I noticed that you translated v. 26 as “without my body I will see God.” Every English translation I’ve seen says “in my body I will see God.” Could you explain why you translated it differently? Is there an ambiguity here in the Hebrew. Obviously “without my body” and “in my body” are very different meanings. The latter would imply a bodily resurrection! That is how almost all translations render it - are they missing the mark here?
You posed a great question and I hope Tabor can supply you with a sound, purely academic, answer. I suspect that Tabor may have realized that your translation would weaken his argument. I am suggesting that he is aware of your translation. Tabor is desirous of claiming that bodily resurrection did not enter theological lexicon until the mid-second temple. Your translation renders his proposition mute. All booksellers look for hooks. I have heard that Job was oral tradition handed down from 2 millennium BCE.
1. The mi particle seems to suggest in or from 2. FWIW, if the Vulgate translation is anyway close to idioms of the time, it also suggests “in” is the correct way it is read. 3. I dunno, I’d like to know too...
My RSV bible (1953) says “without,” with a note “Or from.” My ESV Text Edition (2011) says “in,” with a note “Or without.” My New English Bible (1970) doesn’t have this particular phrase at all. For verses 25-27 it reads: “But in my heart I know that my vindicator lives and that he will rise last to speak in court; and I shall discern my witness standing at my side and see my defending counsel, even God himself, whom I shall see with my own eyes, I myself and no other.” Clearly there is not unanimity on these verses. Dr. Tabor has high moral standards. One might not agree with his conclusions, but those who accuse him of twisting things to support his arguments are way off base.
@kathyferguson5297 The ESV translation is a little weird, I’d have to give you fair warning. You know about the way they did genesis 3:16 versus almost all other English translations. It’s got to to with the ambiguity of the al proposition. In these cases, because I fortunately can say “it’s tradition that’s been declared free from doctrinal error” I can argue from St. Jerome’s translation. But yes, objectively, it is hard to know what some idioms mean. A lot of bible verses are not literal translations, rather dynamic... like that psalm, the lord is slow to anger, when you look at the Hebrew... you’d be scratching your head.
Revelation 6:9-11 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls [Neshamah?] of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness. 10 They cried out in a loud voice, “Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been.
Debunks his claims all in one section. Job 19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.[a] 26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in[b] my flesh I shall see God, 27 whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me! I can understand you missing this if you are truly coming from a historian pov... the bible is unique.
Isaiah 2:4 is the most famous Jewish messianic prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, and of course, is never once mentioned in the NT. In Daniel 12:2., the dead are resurrected. This who followed the ways of Yahweh will be permitted into God's kingdom. God will destroy the bodies and souls of this who follow paganism and idol worshipping (i.e. Christians). Good news for Christians is that "burning in hell" is an invention of the pagan Greeks and isn't a biblical belief.
I have one simple question - doesn't the concept of a 'chosen people' stand diametrically opposed to any idea or concept of equality and universal brotherhood between ALL HUMAN BEINGS? I just don't get it, I've read the Torah, the Talmud, the Zohar...how can ANYBODY defend that which these so-called 'scriptures' proclaim? Aren't ALL members of humankind equally worthy? Please, I implore you, give me an honest answer that helps me understand this conundrum?
They were chosen to be "a light" (Isaiah 49:6) to the other nations with severe "real time" penalties if they did not uphold their agreement to do so. Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-8 “Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to perform, so that you may live and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you......“See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it. So keep and do them, for *that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him? Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law which I am setting before you today?* " Genesis 22:18, from the beginning this was their ultimate purpose. They weren't picked to kick their feet up and enjoy luxury like they were the children of some wealthy benefactor who spoils them, it came with a huge responsibility and moral obligations to other people and God.
In the first temple kadokite era id assume it was more salamon like as the essences hint at. Speaking of criminal prisoners demonic possession . Definitely after synacrab the pragmatic pen gets going over the text we end up with. With the more ancient sumarians think demonic spirits was everywhere and Egypt had such after life full of obstacles that seem more or less demonic souls id just have to assume they always those this was interdemensional. That angels of God could move through them all. I have time thinking the tripartite nature wasn't common place in these traditions. Especially for those in the middle of it all..
Torah sabbath is in accordance to the lunar phases not the Gregorian Saturday which has been wrongly taught for the last 2000 years. That’s how I believe we are not in the kingdom yet.
Modern Judaism supports the idea of resurrection in stages with the most righteous being resurrected first. This idea is supported by Christianity because we regard Jesus as the first to be resurrected and also the most righteous.
I've been enjoying these afterlife videos very much and the idea of the redeemer in the book of Job really intrigued me. It might not be in this video. I followed on in Job 19 and started thinking that he really did believe in a judgement in the end days and his vindication leading to his salvation. But maybe all that is happening is a literary device that points to the end of the story when God appears to him (as a Redeemer) while he is still alive. Could this be what he means? If so, I'm puzzled by why he cares so much. It would mean that he is obsessed with his self-righteousness. I understand his wife's attitude better. But again, it might be that this story is, on the whole, a literary device to tell us about life from one particular perspective and poor old Job is as much a tool in the hands of the writer as he seems to be in the hands of God and Satan.
Isiah 65:17 really does suggest there is no universal life everlasting for everyone. That may or may not be good news. Daniel 12:1 is clear, to me, of Gabrian influence. I gave your closing comments a minutes thought as you returned to the inscription of the brass plates. As I recall the Christ was reported to have said that nothing can return to Heaven except that which came from Heaven. I trust you are familiar with this passage so I won't cite the NT. Doesn't this statement, by Christ, tend to confirm the sentiments inscribed on the plate? I learned more than a couple of things. I had always wondered where the asp that bit Cleopatra came from. A snake living in a hole. ....how 'bout that
All of these Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel excerpts are about US ,not dead people .Nobody knows what happens to us after we die; but we can manage the 'dead' that are within us, in this life
All these Scriptures emphasize creation of things or/and events in some pre-ordained specific time and place. The theme is Judeo-Christian and Islamic. We all, each of us, is 46 chromosomes and we have no say as to what, when or where. There is no rational reason to be here, we are here to enjoy our life and hold God in first place. The books all say there is a reward upon proper completion. The [right] good man is not meant to 'fit in' here.
@@thomasrhodes5013 Hi ,you just said some phrases that don't correspond to my understanding, I'm speaking in a real way, not in assumptions ,one you said to enjoy the life ,as a right man don t know if that can happen on this place ! and second (good man is not meant to fit here) then why are we are been put in here?
@@fanonim5850 We all frowned and toiled with the same questions you have, when we were teenagers. Men have tried to find the answer for thousands of years but nobody has that answer. I say this to you so you may know there is no answer. I told you what to do and nobody can tell you why you are here to do it.
The oldest book in the Bible is the Book of Job and Job believed in the Resurrection of the dead! 25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. Job 19
The Lord told the thief on the cross, THIS DAY YOU SHALL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE! The dead rise first because all of those that receive the SON of God GO with HIM to Paradise, at least this is my understanding from learning how to read what JESUS said, unless Jesus misspoke and who is the Son of Man that HE should lie????
Did Jesus go to Paradise on that day? The robber said remember me ‘when’ :Jesus gave assurance on that very day, this day comma, that when he comes into his Kingdom on earth, and makes it a Paradise, the robber would be there too.
🙏💚🧡That was a time, Wisdom in God Is, was a teaching, not a book. Death and life meanings, are teaching's subjects, not dogma fixed, lyophilized by some scribe paid to do that, listening to a particular said Wise empowered guy. We are in an individual world, none can think as Human's People, only as individual facing his proper life by his egotic mirror. Ancients were knowing Human civilisation and city-states, were by Nature a cancer, or a temporary accumulation of growing people. Past made learn to humanity, that we are not in command over Nature, and when your raises sheep out the city to be killed everyday, growing human made amounts of grain, this goes to Babylone parabole , Nature have always taken out by past this temporarily edifice. So when a civilization comes to have to kill sheep and moult grain and eat them everyday as a giant monster, last days are near. This is as people, not individuals. But Our actual world along thousand years , invented ego in place of God Is, Powerful as writing Wisdom, Kings in place of Wises. What is studying the Way, in that manner. Go having Nothing in the Desert, eat what God gives you and you will began to see the Way by your eyes. Wisdom can be only a volatile teaching, not a book, because books are not found in the desert (with some exceptions!) But this is the image. I told sometime, I'm from a very christian Jesus purist family, an I were born with a biological sexuation dysphoria, from my first days I had to pray , and was asking egoticaly to Jesus Christ, to return me my body as normal for other mothers. At 12 , I decided to go to paradise to ask this no answered question. I died. Total Light opened the infinite field of souls, and some had teached to me, Returm to life , when you have a mission, you need a body, no body, no mission and it's not time to you to be here. Your will have a better life as you will certainly find a way to repair your birth. Conditions are made to let people thinking the value of life, and the gift of the mission we have for Good. So for my proper view when I study Bible, Torah, and others, I don't keep the written word, but the wise's teaching they are made of, by my proper knowledge of the Way. In never say I Trust, I say God Is, because we are a People, not an individual. I work about geological knowledge of Cycles. I think Greeks had an advanced knowledge, lost in in times, about the cycles, our Sun micronova cycle. You shown a video where it is explained cosmic cycles on coin's faces, this is amazing how precise their knowledge and calculation were. So when apocalyptic Christ encountered Greek Wisdom, this naturally melted, because Assyrian Semitic Abram, Abraham, came with all that knowledge of the mid cycle event that was Noah rebirth of the World. Egyptians too, had this knowledge, but have already being perverted by their temple merchants at the front of pyramids. Jericho is a 11.500 years place, that's not a tiny place, to have also a knowledge to transmit about Last Days. We are now in a biblical Jude, Greek Assyrian time, as we scientifically study, Geology, Astrophysics, not how academics put that under the carpet, but the data we have now more every day. Death is the risk for Life. Cataclysm to come will take over trees, animals, as humans. Not me, not any individuals, but all in some places. What we prepare is Archs like Noah, meaning preparing the Way of God Is, guiding Goods in the hole of the Needle where we then will find a future, not for Us, but for Humanity, hoping in Good, in better than today naked World. Prepare the way need a body alive, but not for ourself, we will probably die, but for eternal human life, spent five, six times through the needle before Us. That's how texts says Nations, this is because as seen made of People's Wise generations, life is eternal. A body die, a new born is begining to feed the Wise Way. I Know my words are not lost.
Extremely interesting...but, if God's talk "in Spirit " to man, the image and resemblance....could be....an spiritual resemblance...or physical one? Man must see farder when seek, not my idea, learned by way.
Are we just work slaves? (Even in the afterlife/paradise?) God bless you x but,... Why is he not all mercyful, Since the beginning (of Eden? I mean, it was just ONE mistake, man. Now it's thousands of years since than. This could stop, but I feel we fed with only bits of peaces of information )
29:00 What about Ezekiel 37:1-14 specifically v12-13: "12 Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people." (ESV)
Jesus is the lion of Judah and we are the lambs. The wolf has always represented Satan. Word have been changed supernaturaly. Always been the lion and the lamb
Hi Professor, what is lacking in this presentation is the real Jewish view. In other words these scriptures have 4 levels of meaning as all mesopotamian mythology does. Because you don't include this you miss the fact that the concept of multiple international nations is introduced into Genesis many times with Israel as the central or focal point There is an astronomical reason for this at the deepest level of meaning which does not need to be explored here (that's QBLH) but the idea of messiah is something that extends for every nation even though they would treat the Jewish idea of messiah as their role model or their datum point. No wars because the k owledge of Torah at its deepest level of understanding shows that Abraham never intended any religion of worshipping GOD in any form. The Torah idea of GOD is more about wonder and awe of the natural world than of anything else. The first clue to this is that the Jewish first law or mitzvot is the sanctity of time. Not GODS name or anything else remotely religious. Isn't that strange?
Ive been out of my body a few times....you are not very smart, you are a distraction and you do not possess the knowledge......you dont have the ears to hear and ii think it makes you mad. Read Isaiah 6 through chapter 9 The servant returns...... both his sons names were the signs of the future returns
I am 70 years old and lost most of my family over the years. I grew up in a strong Italian American family. Great neighbors and friends. Working class people with hearts of gold. No matter what they suffered through coming to a new country and proud of being here they persevered no matter the adversity. Many fought in world wars and worked hard through the depression. Tough labor jobs. Yet they were always there with a strength and pride that is for the most part lost in this country. For a while after WW 2 my parents and I lived upstairs with my grandparents and my aunt and uncle and cousin lived downstairs with my great grandparents No matter where you went you knew someone and they kept an eye on you. It was rough but we were safe. One by one they all passed away and the city we lived in is a shell of what it was. Upstate NY has been destroyed by corruption and greed of Albany NY, NYC and both parties that go along with shysters and money changers. In November I lost my son. At just 44. I know between covid and the vaccine it went from being tired to getting a call he passed. We were going to bring him and his wife some organic food and good vitamins thinking all was well. Now I don't get a call at night from him and those that caused this weaponized virus and made billions with immunity get away with the pain and suffering they caused in the world... it's sickening and now they are pushing for WW3....I hope there is another world when we leave this existence. A better place with family and friends. I know those in power believe in something else and have used religion to weaken us through our kindness. They don't care about kindness. They want power and wealth and never are satisfied. No matter what I have great memories and these puppet masters can laugh and sip brandy and worse but those of us that lived in a different time know what honor and integrity is and what it can be. That is why the power brokers want to destroy the family. I hope there is Divine Justice because there is none on earth.
I'm so very sorry for your loss, sir. I for one believe that you will see your son again. They say if you can make it in New York you can make it anywhere, but I say if you can survive the loss of a child, that is the true test of endurance and courage, it makes making it in New York seem like nothing. I'm so very sorry that you lost your son needlessly to covid. I feel for you.
This earth helps us to understand real Happiness and we can appreciate Our Heavenly Father's Love ❤it will get better for us as we grow and grow ❤!
Amen. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts with us. I understand the impact
all this has had on you and so many people. Psalm 56:8 says that God has a bottle where he
keeps our tears, and they are recorded in his book. and in verse 9 it says "...This I know. God
is for me." He loves you, and is aware of your tears and has a record of all you have gone
through. The Bible says in 2Corinthians 4:4 that satan is the god of this world and has blinded people from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."
Also 2Corinthians 1:20 says that all of the promises of God, are yes in Jesus, and in Jesus is our
amen. In other words all of the promises in the Hebrew Scriptures will be fulfilled in Jesus.
So if we place our hope in him we wont be disappointed. Romans 5:1-8
Love and blessings.♥
Judica me, Deus et discerna causam meam de gente non sancta. Ab homine iniquo et doloso erue me.
Quia tu es fortitudo mea. Quare repulisti me et quare tristus incedo, dum afligit me inimicus?
Emitte lucem tuam et veritatem tuam, ipsa me deduxerunt et adduxerunt in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernacula tua...
Et introibo ad altare Dei...
Ad Deum qui laetificat juventutum meam....
... spera in Deo... quoniam adhuc confitebor illi, salutare vultus mei et Deus meus.
I would hope you might remember this at 70, being Italian and all, and it might give you comfort to remember the old ways.
I too remember. And will remember you and yours.
God bless.
I know what u mean. But please remember, the jews walked to the death chambers thinking it'll be ok.there comes a time when we must take back righteousness. Did not Moses kill Egyptian guards for wiping the workers.
In Jewish choir we sing 2 songs out of that section of Isaiah: "Ki Mitzion Tetze Torah, U'dvar Adonai MiY'rushalaim" and "Lo Yisa Goy el Goy Kherev, v'lo yimldu od milchama"
Your son makes beautiful artwork this really filled a lot in for me, I could see how you both impact so many God bless
Great lecture! Thank you Dr Tabor.
Thanks again for another insightful and educational video. Love your channel! You have blessed us richly by sharing your research, knowledge and wisdom. May Hashem bless you tenfold, Dr. Tabor!
I always enjoy your lectures. Your son's art moved me today. Thank you.
Beautiful painting that your son made!!
Your son’s depiction is vivid and follows Paul’s account very well.
Dr. Tabor your knowledge and insight into what you have studied is phenomenally amazing.
Well done, sir. Culture impacts understanding.
Brilliant series! Thank you so much🙏🏻 Sorry to hear about your son💐
A marvelous, enlightening presentation, Dr. Tabor. Thank you!
Great videos by the way!
This is very informative and paints a development perspective of resurrection, judgement and the answer to the question of “justice”. Job however has less to say about justice and more to say about about his eternal separation from God once going down to Sheol, how God will miss his creations, that once his sins are forgiven, God will seek Job.
I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you for making them available.
The video about the Egyptian view isn't in this playlist as it's currently configured. I hope you'll add it in!
I've been bingeing on this series, it's entirely fascinating. Your excellent delivery of all various writings, tablets, different bibles, accounts etc is engrossing I have to thank you for objectively organising these talks. Amazing to follow your studied approach and readings I'm getting such an education on religion in the historical time periods and the progression of early cultures n beliefs etc. The power of writing. It's all so interesting I'm literally starting to envision job... Socrates on his death bed. I'm not religious, I'm Polynesian culture n grew up in Australia with aboriginal family. But I am respectful n have an open mind. I'm glad you are respectful too n so passionate to do these vids on TH-cam for free. You are nailing it man. The anthropology n how text evolves. Your the David attenborough of a critically important subject I never thought I could truly want to deep dive. But I'm watching every episode n noting Corinthians chapters on a notepad. It's 1am in Brisbane Australia right now but...
I wanna know what kind of body too?
Your a brilliant and kind man. .
I just saw a photo of your son, David, Dr. Tabor. It was a beautiful tribute that you wrote for him. It was very touching especially the part about how a parent would trade places if they could. I'm sorry that he had to suffer. I was taken back by his photo because he looks like images I've seen of Jesus Christ. I just bought his novel Tequila Dämmerig and look forward to reading it. I'm very drawn to creative people with imaginative minds. 🧚♀
Thank you so much Dr. Tabor for making this series on TH-cam where everyone can see it. Your lectures put together so many things I've been trying to understand individually. I loved it so much I watched all four lectures on two days. I can't express how excited I am for the next chapters! Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thank you so much for that wonderful lecture... I'm one of your avid followers...
Will you do an episode about the 'reanimation' of the dry bones in Ezekiel?
This series has been such a blessing. I so much appreciate your gentle presentation, and profound grasp of the material.
I’m so glad you’re doing this series. I was recently thinking to myself that I wanted to know more about what the Hebrews believed about the afterlife and how other cultures influenced it. Good timing! Great insight and thank you so much for imparting your knowledge
Wow! My Faith is being Prune. I am now dividing, digesting and separating various Views I heard which was a burden in my mind through this series.
God bless you Sir for letting us to know the origins of what people believes including myself. Now I can choose what to hold on to by knowing the origins.
Live long thank You.
Just started this series with this! I'll scoot back and catch up! excellent lecture and very clear. Ive taken a few months away from you, Myth Vision, Gnostic Informant and History Valley and everyone seems to have really upped their game! Thank you.
Awesome lecture Dr. Tabor
Keep going. Listening.
I really enjoyed this lecture, Dr. Tabor. I am so very sorry about the loss of your son, David, Dr. Tabor. There is nothing in the entire world more devastating than losing a child. It's almost impossible to recover from. He was a phenomenal artist. I want to say is not was because I believe with everything in me that he will live again. It actually brought tears to my eyes to hear of your tremendous loss. We've all suffered way too much in this life and if not for hope in something more what was it all for?
I've known about the words from Isaiah on the United Nations Building and the sculpture for years, but I had no idea it was a gift from the Soviet Union, that is truly amazing!
I have learned a lot from the five lectures. I gather you are now reaching the time in the evolution of the afterlife ideas where we will learn how the modern church teaches that when a saved person dies they immediately go to heaven and be with those who already past BUT there will be the final judgment when the dead shall be raised to heaven. Based on this presentation, in particular, I project the explanation is that the modern fundamentalist church has to teach both as both are in the Bible and avoid the inconvenience of the contradictory stories. Your son's painting will always come to mind when I think of "the dead being raised" as do the simple cartoon-like drawings in Sunday school books from my childhood that showed people standing in graves looking up to heaven. Looking forward No. 6.
He also needs to cover Ezekiel 37 in the Hebrew scripture. As a National resurrection of Israel.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great presentation, thank you Dr. Tabor.
Thank you from the East of England
Hello Dr. Tabor! A few years ago I read your "Paul and Jesus" book. It was so good that I read it over the course of 2 days; I couldn't put it down. Awesome stuff.
I am enjoying your lectures; they are truly a gift of knowledge. Thank you.
I did notice one minor thing in this video: asps and adders are actually snakes, not insects.
A wonderfully informative series, thank you very much. It has clarified many things in my mind.
Again thanks dr. Tabor.
Some of my favorite you tube videos are anamial rescue videos. It reminds me of the inspiring words in this video. Perhaps we are heading in right direction.
These videos are great. Awesome info 🙏
This excellent presentation is mostly in line with what I learnt to become a Christadelphian in the 1970s before leaving in 1984. Christadelphians as fundamentalists, however, were lacking as they did not understand that the Bible writers had a progression of views over time due to cultural influences as a result of the influence of the Zoroastrian Persians adding an End judgement, a super human judge, and resurrection. Dr. G. Craig Fairweather.
Exceptional video.
I should also point out that the changing eschatology between Pre-Isaiah, First Isaiah, second Isaiah and Daniel also parallels the changing view of god as we go from the
Two kingdoms and many gods, to the fallen gods of the northern kingdom, to the god betrayers of the fall of Jerusalem, to the redeamer sole god of Jehud, to the view of YHWH LHM as the only god.
Shalom James
"everlasting punishment"
What a concept. I'm looking forward to that!
Anyway, thanks for this series. 👍
Hi Dr. Tabor, I wanted to know what you make about the fact that Job's statement in regards to his redeemer is phrased as a knowledge claim, is that subordinate to the wishful sentiment of the claims for his case to be written or in contrast? Are verse 28-29 discussing the persecution of that redeemer on behalf of his failure to see Job's supposed sin?
so clearly explained. Thank you
did i hear correctly that you have a late son... my condolences, doctor. may he rest in peace. take care dr
@Tabor Dr. Tabor, this may be coming up later, but you mention the body and the soul in the Egyptian portion and I wondered have all cultures and religions always considered them as two distinct entities? I wonder because in Judaism, one of the morning prayer describes the reunification of the two at some point after death although I thought Judaism saw them as indivisible? Thanks!
Synchronicity. I just talked about the confusion of time, because most only think of beginnings and endings, but the fulcrum of a better timeline is in finding the perfect midpoint to dance around in more and more freed will.
I take issue with James about the passage from Ecclesiastes/Qoholet: it IS a wonderful, inspiring reading for a funeral (we used it for my mother's funeral).
I have never understood the prevailing obsession among those with a marked religious commitment with HAVING to have a life after death (as if a single human life - out of billions of such lives - was somehow cosmically precious...)
Can you teach us the Odyssey?
Thank you very much
Hey, that's Derek's place. My half-baked question that I'm not looking for an answer to: Was there something within Judaism that was driving the change over the centuries from believing when you die you stay dead, to the later the idea the dead will rise at the end of days (not everyone believing ithat of course)? Was it simply exposure to Greek and Egyptian philosophy that made the Jewish prophets incorporate their ideas (intentionally or unintentionally) into their religion because they just seemed more satisfying? Or maybe some event that started to move towards eschatology, like the two exiles? Anyways, thank you as always Dr Tabor for these videos and continuing to teach even after retirement. 🙂
What about Isaiah 26:19?
_But your dead will live, Lord;_
_their bodies will rise-_
_let those who dwell in the dust_
_wake up and shout for joy-_
_your dew is like the dew of the morning;_
_the earth will give birth to her dead._
The King James version says, "yet IN my flesh shall I see God".
Job 19:
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
So what?
@@tonijoncevski8607 So that means he will have a resurrected body.
IF you have put on incorruption and immortality by the new birth, you never die. You rise immediately to be with the Father. If you are anointed by God, you already part of the new creation.
This is our core belief in Primitive Baptist Universalists
Yes, and regarding the thief on the cross. This idea of sleep until Judgement by the Messiah holds true. The robber said remember me ‘when’ :Jesus gave assurance on that very day of crucifixion , ‘this day’’ comma, that when he comes into his Kingdom on earth, and makes it a Paradise, the robber would be there too.
Yes when heaven comes to earth paradise!
Not "without my flesh", but "from my flesh" as Hebrew word "min" overwhelmingly being translated as "from" and only in one or two occasions as "without". Also that perfectly paired with verse 27 "my own eyes shall see and not stranger's"
How is 1 Samuel 25:29 considered ? Kaf hakela
I’m curious about the directly opposing views that Judaism faced in the religions of Baal, Moloch, etc. most people in these discussions don’t speak directly to those forces but in the more generic. Is that because we don’t have a good understanding of those religions from a practical view?
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Dr. Tabor, I’m the commenter who asked you about Job 19. Thank you so much for your response! Your interpretation of the “redeemer” is one I’ve not heard before, and I found it quite interesting. I noticed that you translated v. 26 as “without my body I will see God.” Every English translation I’ve seen says “in my body I will see God.” Could you explain why you translated it differently? Is there an ambiguity here in the Hebrew. Obviously “without my body” and “in my body” are very different meanings. The latter would imply a bodily resurrection! That is how almost all translations render it - are they missing the mark here?
You posed a great question and I hope Tabor can supply you with a sound, purely academic, answer. I suspect that Tabor may have realized that your translation would weaken his argument. I am suggesting that he is aware of your translation. Tabor is desirous of claiming that bodily resurrection did not enter theological lexicon until the mid-second temple. Your translation renders his proposition mute. All booksellers look for hooks.
I have heard that Job was oral tradition handed down from 2 millennium BCE.
1. The mi particle seems to suggest in or from
2. FWIW, if the Vulgate translation is anyway close to idioms of the time, it also suggests “in” is the correct way it is read.
3. I dunno, I’d like to know too...
My RSV bible (1953) says “without,” with a note “Or from.” My ESV Text Edition (2011) says “in,” with a note “Or without.” My New English Bible (1970) doesn’t have this particular phrase at all. For verses 25-27 it reads: “But in my heart I know that my vindicator lives and that he will rise last to speak in court; and I shall discern my witness standing at my side and see my defending counsel, even God himself, whom I shall see with my own eyes, I myself and no other.” Clearly there is not unanimity on these verses. Dr. Tabor has high moral standards. One might not agree with his conclusions, but those who accuse him of twisting things to support his arguments are way off base.
@kathyferguson5297 The ESV translation is a little weird, I’d have to give you fair warning.
You know about the way they did genesis 3:16 versus almost all other English translations. It’s got to to with the ambiguity of the al proposition.
In these cases, because I fortunately can say “it’s tradition that’s been declared free from doctrinal error” I can argue from St. Jerome’s translation. But yes, objectively, it is hard to know what some idioms mean. A lot of bible verses are not literal translations, rather dynamic... like that psalm, the lord is slow to anger, when you look at the Hebrew... you’d be scratching your head.
@@kimmarauszwski5670 Genesis 3 must be a later forgery....thanks
Revelation 6:9-11 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls [Neshamah?] of those who had been put to death for proclaiming the Word of God, that is, for bearing witness. 10 They cried out in a loud voice, “Sovereign Ruler, HaKadosh, the True One, how long will it be before you judge the people living on earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Each of them was given a white robe; and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow-servants should be reached, of their brothers who would be killed, just as they had been.

Job 19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives,
and at the last he will stand upon the earth.[a]
26 And after my skin has been thus destroyed,
yet in[b] my flesh I shall see God,
27 whom I shall see for myself,
and my eyes shall behold, and not another.
My heart faints within me!
I can understand you missing this if you are truly coming from a historian pov...
the bible is unique.
AS JESUS WOULD SAY "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God."
Everlasting punishment means Eonian or punishment for a certain amount of time
Isaiah 2:4 is the most famous Jewish messianic prophecy in the Hebrew Bible, and of course, is never once mentioned in the NT. In Daniel 12:2., the dead are resurrected. This who followed the ways of Yahweh will be permitted into God's kingdom. God will destroy the bodies and souls of this who follow paganism and idol worshipping (i.e. Christians). Good news for Christians is that "burning in hell" is an invention of the pagan Greeks and isn't a biblical belief.
🤣
LIKE TABOR SAID, the Torah shall go forth from ZION. YET CHRISTIANS, do not follow the Torah.

I have one simple question - doesn't the concept of a 'chosen people' stand diametrically opposed to any idea or concept of equality and universal brotherhood between ALL HUMAN BEINGS? I just don't get it, I've read the Torah, the Talmud, the Zohar...how can ANYBODY defend that which these so-called 'scriptures' proclaim? Aren't ALL members of humankind equally worthy? Please, I implore you, give me an honest answer that helps me understand this conundrum?
They were chosen to be "a light" (Isaiah 49:6) to the other nations with severe "real time" penalties if they did not uphold their agreement to do so.
Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-8
“Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to perform, so that you may live and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you......“See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it. So keep and do them, for *that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as is the Lord our God whenever we call on Him? Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law which I am setting before you today?* "
Genesis 22:18, from the beginning this was their ultimate purpose. They weren't picked to kick their feet up and enjoy luxury like they were the children of some wealthy benefactor who spoils them, it came with a huge responsibility and moral obligations to other people and God.
Won’t someone think of the dead?
I'm number one!
In the first temple kadokite era id assume it was more salamon like as the essences hint at. Speaking of criminal prisoners demonic possession .
Definitely after synacrab the pragmatic pen gets going over the text we end up with.
With the more ancient sumarians think demonic spirits was everywhere and Egypt had such after life full of obstacles that seem more or less demonic souls id just have to assume they always those this was interdemensional. That angels of God could move through them all. I have time thinking the tripartite nature wasn't common place in these traditions. Especially for those in the middle of it all..
Torah sabbath is in accordance to the lunar phases not the Gregorian Saturday which has been wrongly taught for the last 2000 years. That’s how I believe we are not in the kingdom yet.
We do NOT live on a planet , we live on the earth.
Modern Judaism supports the idea of resurrection in stages with the most righteous being resurrected first. This idea is supported by Christianity because we regard Jesus as the first to be resurrected and also the most righteous.

I've been enjoying these afterlife videos very much and the idea of the redeemer in the book of Job really intrigued me. It might not be in this video. I followed on in Job 19 and started thinking that he really did believe in a judgement in the end days and his vindication leading to his salvation. But maybe all that is happening is a literary device that points to the end of the story when God appears to him (as a Redeemer) while he is still alive. Could this be what he means? If so, I'm puzzled by why he cares so much. It would mean that he is obsessed with his self-righteousness. I understand his wife's attitude better. But again, it might be that this story is, on the whole, a literary device to tell us about life from one particular perspective and poor old Job is as much a tool in the hands of the writer as he seems to be in the hands of God and Satan.
Isaiah didn't have the Torah, he just had a disorganized collection of stories. Wasn't until Ezra that this material got organized into the Torah.
Actually, all the other events are repeating, I mean, the others except being born and dead. So bring born and dead, are also cyclical
Justice can only be demanded for life if there is a God. If there isn’t a God, we have different considerations..
Isiah 65:17 really does suggest there is no universal life everlasting for everyone. That may or may not be good news. Daniel 12:1 is clear, to me, of Gabrian influence.
I gave your closing comments a minutes thought as you returned to the inscription of the brass plates. As I recall the Christ was reported to have said that nothing can return to Heaven except that which came from Heaven. I trust you are familiar with this passage so I won't cite the NT. Doesn't this statement, by Christ, tend to confirm the sentiments inscribed on the plate?

I have a question to any one if that can be answer? how we come on this place with out ours agreement? if you re a right men you do not fit in here!!!
" We know not from where we come , nor why"
All these Scriptures emphasize creation of things or/and events in some pre-ordained specific time and place. The theme is Judeo-Christian and Islamic. We all, each of us, is 46 chromosomes and we have no say as to what, when or where. There is no rational reason to be here, we are here to enjoy our life and hold God in first place. The books all say there is a reward upon proper completion. The [right] good man is not meant to 'fit in' here.
@@thomasrhodes5013 Hi ,you just said some phrases that don't correspond to my understanding, I'm speaking in a real way, not in assumptions ,one you said to enjoy the life ,as a right man don t know if that can happen on this place ! and second (good man is not meant to fit here) then why are we are been put in here?
@@fanonim5850 We all frowned and toiled with the same questions you have, when we were teenagers. Men have tried to find the answer for thousands of years but nobody has that answer. I say this to you so you may know there is no answer. I told you what to do and nobody can tell you why you are here to do it.
The oldest book in the Bible is the Book of Job and Job believed in the Resurrection of the dead!
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Job 19
You ARE making your own story !
Jib IS talking about the Savior! Even saying that it is God Whom he will see face to face or person to person, bodily!
His word WAS inscribed with wins of iron, the first movable printing press invented by a Jew no less!
pins of iron!
Actually, Job was written sometime during the Persian period. It is far from being the first book written.
The Lord told the thief on the cross, THIS DAY YOU SHALL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE! The dead rise first because all of those that receive the SON of God GO with HIM to Paradise, at least this is my understanding from learning how to read what JESUS said, unless Jesus misspoke and who is the Son of Man that HE should lie????
Did Jesus go to Paradise on that day? The robber said remember me ‘when’ :Jesus gave assurance on that very day, this day comma, that when he comes into his Kingdom on earth, and makes it a Paradise, the robber would be there too.
🙏💚🧡That was a time, Wisdom in God Is, was a teaching, not a book. Death and life meanings, are teaching's subjects, not dogma fixed, lyophilized by some scribe paid to do that, listening to a particular said Wise empowered guy. We are in an individual world, none can think as Human's People, only as individual facing his proper life by his egotic mirror.
Ancients were knowing Human civilisation and city-states, were by Nature a cancer, or a temporary accumulation of growing people. Past made learn to humanity, that we are not in command over Nature, and when your raises sheep out the city to be killed everyday, growing human made amounts of grain, this goes to Babylone parabole , Nature have always taken out by past this temporarily edifice. So when a civilization comes to have to kill sheep and moult grain and eat them everyday as a giant monster, last days are near.
This is as people, not individuals. But Our actual world along thousand years , invented ego in place of God Is, Powerful as writing Wisdom, Kings in place of Wises.
What is studying the Way, in that manner. Go having Nothing in the Desert, eat what God gives you and you will began to see the Way by your eyes. Wisdom can be only a volatile teaching, not a book, because books are not found in the desert (with some exceptions!) But this is the image. I told sometime, I'm from a very christian Jesus purist family, an I were born with a biological sexuation dysphoria, from my first days I had to pray , and was asking egoticaly to Jesus Christ, to return me my body as normal for other mothers. At 12 , I decided to go to paradise to ask this no answered question. I died. Total Light opened the infinite field of souls, and some had teached to me, Returm to life , when you have a mission, you need a body, no body, no mission and it's not time to you to be here. Your will have a better life as you will certainly find a way to repair your birth. Conditions are made to let people thinking the value of life, and the gift of the mission we have for Good. So for my proper view when I study Bible, Torah, and others, I don't keep the written word, but the wise's teaching they are made of, by my proper knowledge of the Way. In never say I Trust, I say God Is, because we are a People, not an individual. I work about geological knowledge of Cycles. I think Greeks had an advanced knowledge, lost in in times, about the cycles, our Sun micronova cycle. You shown a video where it is explained cosmic cycles on coin's faces, this is amazing how precise their knowledge and calculation were. So when apocalyptic Christ encountered Greek Wisdom, this naturally melted, because Assyrian Semitic Abram, Abraham, came with all that knowledge of the mid cycle event that was Noah rebirth of the World. Egyptians too, had this knowledge, but have already being perverted by their temple merchants at the front of pyramids. Jericho is a 11.500 years place, that's not a tiny place, to have also a knowledge to transmit about Last Days. We are now in a biblical Jude, Greek Assyrian time, as we scientifically study, Geology, Astrophysics, not how academics put that under the carpet, but the data we have now more every day. Death is the risk for Life. Cataclysm to come will take over trees, animals, as humans. Not me, not any individuals, but all in some places. What we prepare is Archs like Noah, meaning preparing the Way of God Is, guiding Goods in the hole of the Needle where we then will find a future, not for Us, but for Humanity, hoping in Good, in better than today naked World. Prepare the way need a body alive, but not for ourself, we will probably die, but for eternal human life, spent five, six times through the needle before Us. That's how texts says Nations, this is because as seen made of People's Wise generations, life is eternal. A body die, a new born is begining to feed the Wise Way. I Know my words are not lost.

And I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people." (ESV)

Hi Professor, what is lacking in this presentation is the real Jewish view. In other words these scriptures have 4 levels of meaning as all mesopotamian mythology does. Because you don't include this you miss the fact that the concept of multiple international nations is introduced into Genesis many times with Israel as the central or focal point There is an astronomical reason for this at the deepest level of meaning which does not need to be explored here (that's QBLH) but the idea of messiah is something that extends for every nation even though they would treat the Jewish idea of messiah as their role model or their datum point. No wars because the k owledge of Torah at its deepest level of understanding shows that Abraham never intended any religion of worshipping GOD in any form. The Torah idea of GOD is more about wonder and awe of the natural world than of anything else. The first clue to this is that the Jewish first law or mitzvot is the sanctity of time. Not GODS name or anything else remotely religious. Isn't that strange?
