Podcasts about Second Temple period

Today we investigate the books of Haggai and Zechariah, which illuminate another perspective on the beginning of the Second Temple Period, and in some cases contrast with the narratives found in Ezra and Nehemiah.

How the Bible Was Formed E3 — Today, most Bibles are a single book that's easy to carry and flip through. But the Bible started as an assortment of scrolls, bound together into a collection. The Hebrew Bible—or the Old Testament—went through a centuries-long, iterative development process with a variety of scribes and prophets. It didn't come into its final form until roughly the time of Jesus. So how does this history interact with a view of Scripture as God's word? In this episode, Jon and Tim continue exploring the formation of the Bible, discussing how to hold a high view of these sacred texts while also acknowledging the humans who shaped them. CHAPTERSAn Inspired, Collaborative Work Over Centuries (0:00-12:00)A Final Shaping of the Hebrew Bible After Exile (12:00-26:59)The Second Temple Period's Flourishing Literary Culture (26:59-43:42)The Tanak's Standardization as the Masoretic Text (43:42-53:32)Wisdom Literature Designed for Meditation and Formation (53:32-1:00:03)Coming to Peace With the Bible's Formation (1:00:03-1:05:02)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESThe Journey from Texts to Translations: The Origin and Development of the Bible by Paul D.

The volume of outrage in our world has hit a crescendo. All the time I hear questions like, “how can you bear to be around someone who voted like that?!” or “how can you stand working with people who are so anti-Zionist or who are so pro-Israel?” As if people who do not rage against those they disagree with are somehow condoning or supporting evil perspectives. Young people, already stressed by the pressures of their own lives, feel pressured to respond to hateful social media posts and/or to present content that will fight against what they see as evil lies. Everything is pitched as though the conversation is an existential battle between good and evil and each one of us is either fighting for good or conceding to forces of evil. We saw this so sharply this week. When Luigi Mangione murdered Brian Thompson in broad daylight, the story on the street and on social media wasn't about a horrific crime against humanity. People lionized Luigi, they asked him on dates, they offered to be his alibi, they fundraised for his legal costs, they even competed in dress-alike competitions. Why? Because they see him as someone willing to take decisive action against the evils of our world, never mind that he committed an atrocious crime and never mind that killing Brian Thompson does nothing to fix our broken health care system nor address the real pain of the American people. There's a word for this energy in our tradition: zealotry. Zealots are people who are inspired by passion, who take action without due process, and who force the world to align with their vision. The most famous zealots in our tradition arose in a tumultuous time in our history. Way back in the first century, during the Second Temple Period, our ancestors were fighting to build a life in the shadow of the Roman Empire. At the time, the future of Judaism and Jewish community was precarious and there were different groups that had different ideas about what should happen. Some groups fought for justice and against elitism and classism that they felt were destroying society. Some believed that the Roman Empire was the way of the future. They promoted assimilation and Hellenization and worked to try to suppress Jewish revolt against the occupying power. While others raged against Roman rule, encouraging resistance to Roman culture and strict adherence to Jewish cultic rites. According to the Talmud, the elders of the Jewish community wanted to mobilize their community thoughtfully. But the zealots didn't have the patience for this. They felt an existential threat and believed it was their duty to force the Jewish community into action. They provoked and attacked the Romans, trying to incite violence. And when their guerilla tactics worked and the Romans laid siege to Jerusalem, the zealots burned the granaries and food stores in the city so our ancestors would be forced to fight for their lives. When we tell this story, we focus on our survival. We focus on Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai's improbable escape in a coffin. We focus on his heroic journey to Yavne and the way he preserved the Judaism that he and the other rabbis believed in. But that leaves out a critical piece of our history. Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai had to escape because of the zealots, because their radical ideology created a toxic culture of violence which threatened our very existence. Today, more than ever, we need to remember the zealots.

Send us a Text Message.In this program, we will speak about Exodus 19:5-6, the Melchizedek link to the New Covenant Book of Hebrews chapters 6-8, and the exchange of the Levitical law for the higher and more superior Melchizedek law of the King/Priest Messiah. We will also look into the naming and birth of Yochanan or John the Baptist in Luke Chapter 1 as well as the significance of the ministry of John or Yochanan "the Baptist" and his immersion of Yeshua in the Jordan in Matthew 3:13 and how it relates to the ministry of Elijah in Malachi Chapters 3-4, who was a prophet divinely appointed to announce the restoration of all things before the coming of Messiah who must restore the fallen tent or Tabernacle of the House of David. Our discussion will also examine the context of Matthew 15:24-25 as it speaks about a Canaanite Woman and the bread that falls from the Master's Table. Further, we will also look into Galatians 3:19, which concerns a reference to the law of the Levitical Priesthood and how this speaks about the Melchizedek priesthood calling in light of the Spirit and Power of Elijah.Among the many religious issues of the Jewish people during the late Second Temple Period, a major point of conflict was about the festival and civil calendars of Judaism. Understanding this brings a further disclosure about the Priestly House of Tzadok in light of the 1947 discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the nearby caves of the Qumran area in the State of Israel.  Support the Show.

TJ and Kris explore Jewish interpretations of the Flood in the Second Temple Period. Then they pursue the whereabouts of the Watchers.

The Second Temple Period of Judaism was a unique time in the history of the Jewish People. Among the many religious issues of the Jewish people at that time, one major point of conflict was that of the calendar. You wouldn't think that this would be such a major issue, however, we know this to be true historically, thanks in part to the 1947 discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls. On my program today, we will hear from Eddie Chumney of Hebraic Heritage Ministries. Eddie has dedicated a lot of research time to sorting out Judaism's calendar issues of the past two millennia and how they touch us now, particularly as it relates to the Jewish Messianic Movement that we know today.

In this week's show we present a seminar presented at The Byron Sherwin Center called "Reclaiming Enoch: Rediscovering His Importance in Ancient Judaism and Early Rabbinic Thought." Rabbi Dr. Juan Bejarano-Gutierrez discusses the importance of the biblical figure of Enoch is increasingly clear to scholars of the Second Temple Period. Many Jews are unaware, however, of his significance in ancient Judaism and the transformation of this figure in later rabbinic thought. This lecture seeks to rediscover this fascinating Jewish tradition.Rabbi Dr. Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez earned a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering. He received a Master Degree in Judaic Studies at Siegal College. He completed his doctorate in Jewish Studies at the Spertus Institute. He received rabbinic ordination in 2011 from Yeshivat Mesilat Yesharim. He is the rabbi of Chavurah Zohar Yisrael outside of Dallas.His book “Enoch Rising: Enmeduranki, the Fallen Watchers, and the Key to Unlocking Early Christianity” can be found online at https://www.amazon.com/Enoch-Rising-Enmeduranki-Unlocking-Christianity-ebook/dp/B07LG8VXLJIn the past 7 years ourRadio Show/podcast has featured scholars (John Dominic Crossan), academics (Amy Jill Levine) , presidential candidates( Howie Hawkins), Commentators (Jay Michaelson) , attorneys (Vanessa Guillen), prominent herbalists (Rosemary Gladstar)and activists (Zack Foster).

What do we mean when we say that "Jesus was a Jew?" Scripture uses a lot of labels to refer to God's chosen people, including "Israelite," "Judahite," "Hebrew," and, of course, "Jew." In this episode, Jason Staples helps us sort through the etymologies, histories, ethnicities, and nationalities behind these labels, examining the earliest usage of "Jew" in the Hebrew Bible, its role in the Second Temple Period, and its interpretations in the modern era. He also considers key Bible passages that use these labels and helps debunk a common assumption about "Jew" as a pejorative term. Jason Staples teaches at North Carolina State University in the areas of biblical literature, early Judaism and Christianity, and modern issues in ethics and religion. He is the author of The Idea of Israel in Second Temple Judaism: A New Theory of People, Exile, and Israelite Identity. In addition to his scholarly work, Jason has worked in sports media and voiceover narration.

Satan's transformation from opaque functionary to chief antagonist is one of the most striking features of the development of Jewish theology in the Second Temple Period and beyond. Once no more than an "accuser" testing members of the human community, Satan, along with his demons, is presented by Jewish apocalyptic texts and the New Testament as a main source of evil in the world. In Satan and the Problem of Evil, noted scholar Archie Wright explores this dynamic in both its historical and theological trajectories. Interactions with Zoroastrianism led Jewish and Christian writers of the Second Temple Period to separate God from responsibility for evil in the world. This led to the emergence of a heavenly being that is responsible for evil and suffering: Satan. Satan and the Problem of Evil charts the development of Satan traditions and the problem of evil from the Hebrew Bible and its various translations in the Greek Septuagint to Jewish literature from the Second Temple Period to the Greek New Testament. It concludes by examining the writings of the early church theologians, from the late first century through the fourth century CE. Wright argues that these latter writers present a shift in the understanding of Satan to one that is significantly different from the Jewish Scriptures, extrabiblical Jewish literature, and the New Testament. Accessibly written and comprehensive in scope, Satan and the Problem of Evil: From the Bible to the Early Church Fathers (Fortress Press, 2022) offers researchers, scholars, students, and even the general reader a definitive treatment of a perennial question. Archie T. Wright is interim executive director of the Catholic Biblical Association and visiting lecturer at the London School of Theology. He is the author of The Origin of Evil Spirits: The Reception of Genesis 6:1-4 in Early Jewish Literature (Fortress, 2015). Jackson Reinhardt is a graduate of University of Southern California and Vanderbilt University. He is currently an independent scholar, freelance writer, and research assistant.

This led to the emergence of a heavenly being that is responsible for evil and suffering: Satan. Satan and the Problem of Evil charts the development of Satan traditions and the problem of evil from the Hebrew Bible and its various translations in the Greek Septuagint to Jewish literature from the Second Temple Period to the Greek New Testament. It concludes by examining the writings of the early church theologians, from the late first century through the fourth century CE. Wright argues that these latter writers present a shift in the understanding of Satan to one that is significantly different from the Jewish Scriptures, extrabiblical Jewish literature, and the New Testament. Accessibly written and comprehensive in scope, Satan and the Problem of Evil: From the Bible to the Early Church Fathers (Fortress Press, 2022) offers researchers, scholars, students, and even the general reader a definitive treatment of a perennial question. Archie T. Wright is interim executive director of the Catholic Biblical Association and visiting lecturer at the London School of Theology. He is the author of The Origin of Evil Spirits: The Reception of Genesis 6:1-4 in Early Jewish Literature (Fortress, 2015).

Satan's transformation from opaque functionary to chief antagonist is one of the most striking features of the development of Jewish theology in the Second Temple Period and beyond.

In John 11:9-10, Yeshua speaks of walking in the Light and walking in the darkness. Walking in the darkness means the Light is not in him. The same message is echoed in John 12:36, "While you have the Light, believe in the Light, that you may become Sons of Light."  Sha'ul (Paul) speaks in a similar way when writing 1 Thessalonians 5. Verse 1 - But concerning THE TIMES (of the disputed calendars of that era vs. THE SEASONS (the moedim of the biblical festivals) brethren, you have no need that I should write to you…Verse 5 - But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should overtake you as a thief. You are all Sons of Light and Sons of the Day. We are not of the Night nor of Darkness. For the believers in Yeshua's day, the metaphor was well understood. According to the full context, Yeshua addresses absolute Pharisaic insistence on holding on to a calendrical doctrine of Second Temple Period festivals. Yeshua addresses those who absolutely SHOULD KNOW BETTER but instead echo Jeremiah 6:16, "We will not walk in Him." So, he declares the divine Word saying to all festival calendar truthseekers, "You are Sons of Light." The "Sons of Darkness" are, within the context, those who do not want to walk as Yeshua walked. The Tzadok Sevens Solar Calendar (also the Tzadok Base Seven Calendar) shows the biblical calendar that Yeshua walked by. It identifies the year of Yeshua's crucifixion and third-day redemptive resurrection - Year 27 C.E. Join me today and learn about the Calendar of the Sons of Light. Learn how it confirms Year 27 as the work of Yeshua's Redemption.  Real Israel Talk Radio Episode 118 and PART 5: my Analysis of Yeshua's Last Passover Week Timeline of Events.

Many are not aware of the numerous time and date calendar issues that were predominant in the days of Yeshua. At the time of Yeshua's ministry, there were at least three different calendars that were simultaneously functional – One was the Roman secular calendar and two were Jewish religious calendars. Consequently, when reading through the narratives of Yeshua's last Passover week, it is easy to miss what's going on behind the scenes because of the workings of those calendars within the context of Second Temple Jewish religious culture and law. Today, in this program Episode 117 and Part 4 in my series on the last Passover week of Yeshua, we will examine the five different day parts of a biblically Hebraic day. This will lead us to learn that Yeshua was observing a sunrise to sunrise calendar paradigm and rejecting the Pharisaic sunset to sunset calendar paradigm.

If you are a detail and numbers person, you will want to listen to this Real Israel Talk Radio program.  This is Episode 116 and PART 3 in my continued analysis of Yeshua's last Passover week timeline related to the time and date structures of the Jewish and Roman Second Temple Period calendars. With today's episode, we'll learn some core concepts about three principle calendars competing with each other in the time of Yeshua. The three calendars I am speaking about are: A) The Secular Roman Calendar B) The "Official" Religious Judean Pharisaic Calendar C) The "Unofficial" Tzadok Sevens Calendar of the Qumran Priestly Community On this podcast, we will also learn some details about the Roman counting and naming of day and night hours while comparing this to the Jewish counting and naming of day and night hours. We'll also learn about the Passover terminology "Beyn HaArbayim," often translated into English as "twilight." But is this a reference to twilight? Not according to the Hebrew language. It specifically refers to the structure of each day comprised of two evenings. The first evening begins after 12-noon and the second evening begins with sunset at 6:00. The Hebrew term "Beyn HaArbayim" defines that time as about 1500 hours or 3:00, when Yeshua died on that Roman crucifixion tree, fulfilling the command of the slaughter of the Passover lamb in Exodus chapter 12. If you like details and numbers, you will appreciate all this and a lot more coming at you with today's podcast program on the structure of Second Temple Period time and date, day and night.

On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down the discovery by Israeli archaeologists of an ancient synagogue from the time of Jesus, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The 2,000-year-old structure, uncovered recently in Magdala--hometown of Mary Magdalene--is the second synagogue to be excavated at the site, making Magdala the only place where two Second Temple Period synagogues have been found. Erick and Danny "The Digger" Herman go inside one of them and walk where Jesus almost certainly walked. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the first century, "store up treasure in heaven" was a common phrase used as an idiom for charity. In this week's lesson, we explore the background of this phrase as it is developed from the Old Testament - through the Apocryphal writings of the intertestamental period - and into the New Testament. When you give to those in need, you store up treasures in heaven, and God becomes the guarantor of your loan.
