,,fx4CBugxIHk,UCg2vrLOhBWk7ZQy3pnzIYgQ, Religion, channel_UCg2vrLOhBWk7ZQy3pnzIYgQ, video_fx4CBugxIHk,Millions of believing Christians, as well as theologians and historians, are convinced that the earliest faith in Jesus' resurrection had to do with the assertion that his dead body was revived in a tomb--and that he walked out of that tomb on the third day after his death, as a flesh and blood human being--wounds and all. This is not in fact the case. That is a LATE view found in Luke and John--but is totally contradicted by our two earliest and most reliable sources: Paul & Mark. The earliest believers in Jesus' resurrection would not have been bothered in the least with his physical flesh and blood body "left behind," in a tomb, or as Paul put it, shed off like an old garment. In this interview we hear Prof. John Dom Crossan on this topic, followed by my own take on the main texts related to the subject that are most often overlooked.
For a more elaborated textual version of the substance of this video see my blog post:

,1,A detailed survey of our earliest sources on James--whose proper name was Jacob of Yaaqov--the brother of Jesus, was written out of the standard master narrative of Christian history. What can we know about James, by trying to reassemble all the disparate strands of evidence, from the Gospels, Acts, Paul, and our earliest post-New Testament sources.

,1,In this new series on my Youtube channel, to run concurrently with the present series, "Lost in Translation," we work on learning how to spot and identify texts of the Bible, whether Hebrew Bible/O.T. or New Testament, that have been overlaid with what appear to be disjunctive interpolations inserted for polemical reasons. .

,1,Millions sing the old evangelical Christian hymn "I Know that My Redeemer Lives," referring to Jesus. However, the idea comes from Job 19 and it turns out it has been seriously mistranslated in Christian versions of the Bible and the actual meaning is something totally different--but equally amazing!

,1,Our earliest gospel of Mark implies that Jesus left the Galilee and headed for Jerusalem for Passover in the Spring a few weeks before his death. Based on additional textual sources and geographical references it appears he traveled to the Mt Herman area in the far north, then spent his last Winter in hiding outside the territory of either Herod Antipus or Philip the Tetrarch--in the Decapolis. This video includes a bonus at the end with original footage made in the 1990s when Dr. Tabor traveled to Jordan to investigate this area--he has been back now five different times doing archaeological surveys of the caves and environment. It connects to Pella, and the tradition that the Jewish Nazarenes fled to the same area in 66 CE when the Roman revolt broke out.

,1,Dr. Tabor on the banks of the Jordan River. talking about the shocking arrest of John the Baptizer by Herod Antipas came at the height of his success as John and Jesus teamed up in a joint baptizing campaign throughout the country. It shook the movement to the core. Everything changed. And Jesus began to realize his days were also numbered.
,1,In under a minute I relate the story of how I got hooked for life on Paul reading Greek in college at age 17--now over 60 years ago! For the rest of the story see the results in my book:

,1,One often hears that Paul was the "real" founder of Christianity--but what about a fully developed and functioning form of the faith BEFORE Paul, that existed for decades before Paul's letters began to achieve prominence in the mid-second century.
In my book, Paul and Jesus, I explore this idea in depth.

,1,There is a growing recognition among historians of Christian Origins, that the Gospel of John, despite its late date and theology, has an underlying narrative , that reflects valuable historical insights--chronological, geographic, and archaeological, going back to the time of Jesus. In this video I survey some of the main evidence.
We have been discussing this topic in my "Research Community," on Zoom and on my Patreon site, with lots of supplementary materials I can't post p;ublically...if anyone is interested to join us:

,1,Join me in a Live Zoom meeting. See below.
In this interview with Derek Lambert, host of @MythVisionPodcast , I discuss the idea of the leader of the Dead Sea Scrolls, known as the "Teacher of Righteousness," and his identification with the idea of a Suffering Messiah, based on the Suffering Servant Hymns in Isaiah. We then compare this to the presentation of Jesus in Mark, our earliest gospel.
Currently I have courses on both "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls" and Mask--if you sign up you can be part of our Zoom meeting this coming Sunday, January 28th in which we will discuss the career of this "First Messiah," a hundred years before Jesus, and the intersection of messianic suffering ideas in both the Teacher and the Jesus movements.

,1,Read more about signing up for 👉 "Creating Jesus: Why Mark’s Gospel Was Forgotten?" at this link—with no obligation to purchase unless you decide this is for you:
https://mythvisionpodcast.com/firstgospel
The Gospel of Mark is the most influential piece of literature from the ancient world. Even though Paul’s letters are written earlier, they offer us no “Jesus Story.” Mark is our earliest narrative presentation of the figure of Jesus. However, it is purposely constructed as a “riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” And even though it is now embedded in the New Testament, it is essentially lost and forgotten.
Matthew and Luke are essentially “rewritten Mark”—or better, “overwritten Mark.” These writers use Mark as their main source, but utterly deconstruct and, as a result, essentially “destroy” it. Even though they incorporate up to 80-90% of Mark as their core story—once edited and embedded in their narrative, Mark as Mark basically ceases to exist.
,1,What do we know of Mary Magdalene and how do we know it--our earliest records--but including the excavations at Madala or Migdal and whether she might be from that city.
In this video I survey the extraordianry archaeological discoveries at first century Magdala, on the NW shores of the Dead Sea--the possible town of Mary Magdalene. It was far from a quaint little village, but a large urban center of commerce and trade, sophistication, and importance. And not only one, but TWO first century synagogues have now been uncovered.
I discuss this ore fully in my book, The Jesus Discvovery:

,1,In this opening minute of my book, Paul and Jesus, I pinpoint the heart and soul of the creation of the new religion of Christianity and Paul as the Founder, not Jesus.
,1,In this Short video I visit the underground remains of a first century stone house in Nazareth under the Sisters of Nazareth Convent, right near the traditional "Church of the Annunciation." For the full story watch the complete video here: https://youtu.be/I24yM_9gWoM
,1,In this live interview with Derek Lambert, host of @mythvisionpodcast , we explore the question of what we can know about the leader of the Dead Sea Scroll community, the mysterious and unnamed Teacher of Righteousness. I survey five major things we can be fairly certain about based on the texts of the scrolls themselves.
These are discussed in dept in my course "Jesus Nd the Dead Sea Scrolls," which I invite you to sign up for. It is an on-line course with all the materials supplied and you work at your own pace. We have monthly Zoom meetings with students for Q&A and more in-depth discussions of the materials.

,1,Most people think of Jerusalem as the HQ of the emerging Jesus Movement, but the real "Ground Zero" was the city of Capernaum (Kafar Nahum--ancient village of Nahum the prophet) on the Northwest of the Sea of Galilee. It could well be called the official "birthplace" of the Jesus movement--quite literally, in a single first century house that has been excavated. This house became the base of operations for the revolutionary provisional government that Jesus established for the future Kingdom of God. In this video I explore both the textual as well as the archaeological evidence, shedding additional light on the cultural background of Jesus and his followers.
Here is a FREE link to the PDF document of New Testament texts that deal with Capernaum:

,1,In this video I relate the remarkable discovery in 2000 of a Cave west of Jerusalem, at Suba, that has what might be the earliest art work related to the John the Baptist-Jesus movement--right outside John's village of Ein Kerem. What we found in our excavations (2000-2006) shed some remarkable new light on Jesus as the Baptizer and John as his teacher--teaming up together in their "End of the Age" campaign.

,1,Our knowledge of the hamlet of Nazareth, not mentioned in any early non-Christian textual sources, has grown exponentially over the past few decades. In this video I survey what we now know and how it might shed light on our understanding of Jesus and his family--from his childhood growing up into his early adulthood. The overall picture is quite remarkable, in that we know more and more of Galilee and the life in contemporary villages of the time.

,1,In this video I explore the forgotten city of Sepphoris, the urban capital of the Galilee in the time of Jesus--not even included on many Bible Maps. And yet, the tiny village of Nazareth was one of its suburbs. What are the implications of Jesus being exposed and working in an urban background --even a sophisticated Jewish Roman city, where some traditions have it that his mother was born.

,1,The story of Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross of Jesus as related in the gospel of Mark is quite remarkable for both its brevity and its content. It is conveyed in s single verse in Mark 15:21 as Jesus is being led away by the Romans to be crucified.
Even more remarkable is that his sons are mentioned by name--Alexander and Rufus. It seems clear that they ended up part of the Jesus Movement since the author of Mark mentions them as if his readers would readily recognize their names. There is also evidence that Rufus, one of the two sons, is a Roman citizen. As I related in the first video of this series on the "Ten Jerusalem Tombs and the Tales they Tell," there was an ossuary with the names of Simon & Alexander, from Cyrene, discovered in a tomb in the Kidron Valley in Jerusalem in 1941, one of the great overlooked discoveries related to our understanding of the early followers of Jesus.
This ossuary comes from a fully provenanced excavation of a first century Jerusalem tomb, carried out by two respected archaeologists: Sukenik and Avigad.
We learn much about this family from the ossuaries and other evidence in the tomb. The ossuary is in a storeroom at Hebrew University, drawing little attention. Included at the end of this video is a photo collage of our visit there in 2005 with a film crew headed by Simcha Jacobovici. There are of course "minimalists" who will say--well who knows if these are the father and son mentioned by Mark--but the correspondence is remarkable and the likelihood high. I have discussed this in detail in my book, The Jesus Discovery, linked here:

,1,In my recently completed 25-part Youtube series on "Bible Prophecy," viewed from a historical perspective I make the point repeatedly that the five visions of the book of Daniel are PRIMARY to all subsequent interpretations. I invite you to explore the entire series but particularly those dealing with the visions and dreams of Daniel's book--beginning here.

,1,Caution: This presentation is 1.5 hours and is for serious students of the historical Jesus--which I believe my Youtube subscribers are--in this age of TikTok, Shorts, YT videos that are never supposed to be longer than 12 minutes, it will find its rightful place. It is not for those wanting a "quick" surface take on things, but rather those who like long videos and a deep dive into important issues.
In this first episode of my new series called "Jesus Archaeology," I take an in-depth new and fresh look at Ten Jerusalem tombs from the time of Jesus and the "Tales Tombs Tell." This video contains new and breaking discoveries that make a huge contribution to historical Jesus studies--too often neglected or ignored by many contemporary scholars.

,1,Don't miss this one. Come Time Travel with me. I wanted to share this podcast interview I did recently with David Roos and Professor Helen Bond on their amazing show "Biblical Time Machine." They asked me to take them back to the first century CE, the time of Jesus, and to explore the "real" Mary--the historical Mary --not transformed Christian Queen of Heaven. I thought it went well...let me know in the comments what you think. Enjoy the trip!
Here is the link to the program and I encourage you to subscribe and follow them, and sign up to join the Time Travelers Club. Great fun!

,1,In this finale to my 25-part series on Bible Prophecy I explore the three major interpretations of "Bible Prophecy Belief" in our own time--Preterist, Continuous Historical, and Futurist--weighing them in the balance and finding them wanting. I discuss the terms: literal, symbolic, poetic, spiritual, and actual as well as the distinctions between the Predictive, the Contingent, and the Utopian.

,1,In this extended conversation with Jacob Berman, host of Youtube @History-Valley channel, I explore in depth to what degree the the so-called "Essene movement," which most scholars associate with the group that wrote the Dead Sea sectarian scrolls, might be related to the John the Baptist/Jesus movement, that came 100 years later. I offer an overview of my on-line course, "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls."
,1,In this video I begin to explore various kinds of "Preterist" interpretations of Bible Prophecy, particularly those Christian views that claimEVERYTHING, including the Return of Jesus and resurrection of the dead, took place in the summer of the year 70 AD, with the destruction of the Jewish Temple and the city of Jerusalem. When, where, and why did the Preterist views originate?
Here is the PDF of the "Little Apocalypse of Jesus" compared in three versions that I offer everyone as a free download tin the video:

,1,In this interview with Derek Lambert host of @MythVisionPodcast , I talk about the idea of "Suffering Messiahs" and whether one finds such in the Dead Sea Scrolls. I will discuss this in a private Zoom meeting with students in the course, "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls," this weekend (Sunday Noon EST). Details are in the interview and a link to the course below--so if you sign up before the meeting you can join us--even if you are only beginning the course.

,1,In this video I offer a historical evaluation of an interview Pastor John Hagee recently did on TBN offering an overview of his general prophetic interpretation of the "End Times," and what he sees as lying ahead. He presents a fairly standard "Dispensationalist" view of things, and I present my own evaluation of the texts references as well as other that are relevant--questioning the validity of his interpretations on historical grounds.

,1,In this overview video I offer a summary of the major futurist interpretation of Bible Prophecy today--that of the evangelical Christians, most of whom follow the "Dispensationalist" views of John Darby. Remember Hal Lindsey, The Late Great Planet Earth? These views are really mushrooming in the last month, as the Gaza war was broken out in Israel.

,1,The Book of Revelation is front and center on multiple thousands of videos and internet sites in interpreting the War in Israel as some kind of scenario leading up to the return of Christ. It is possible, or even likely, that embedded within our present Book of Revelation in the New Testament, there is a pre-Christian version, one that never mentions Jesus at all? Given the totally Christo-Centric focus of the book--how is that even conceivable? In this video I present that such is indeed the case--and we can recover the "original" with some degree of confidence. As it turns out it appears to reflect the perspectives of various Jewish apocalyptic Jewish movements in late 2nd Temple Judaism, in reacting to Nero and his moves against Jews and followers of Jesus.

,1,In this seventh video dealing with what I am calling "floating prophecies" of the Hebrew Bible, I look back the previous six textual examples and move to Psalm 83 that has often been quoted during the wars in Israel from 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973--and now this current War to destroy Hamas and other militant Muslim groups who are vowing to destroy Israel once and for all--from the "River to the Sea--Palestine Must be Free"--of Israel that is! Hamas calls it Judenrein--absolutely and without a doubt.
,1,In this study I examine another most famous "floating prophecy," namely Ezekiel 38-39--the War of Gog and Magog--that is to usher in the end of the age, based on a number of correlated prophecies, including the Book of Revelation. I survey the three main approaches to these chapters--and as usual, a note of caution--Reader Beware!

,1,In this video I discuss some of the surprising ways in which critical historical readings of the prophetic texts of the Bible and Christian fundamentalist Prophecy Believer share some strange areas of agreement! I lay out the main ways the biblical prophetic texts have been read over the ages: historically, allegorically, and futurist--but the common ground between the most critical readings and the most fundamentalists--taking the words of the texts and their historical setting seriously.

,1,In this video I explore another text of the Hebrew Bible that I call a "floating" prophecy," namely Isaiah 24-27, which is very much a "Hidden" book of the Bible--the Isaiah Apocalypse. Few have read it or paid attention to it. Bits and pieces have been scattered all over--in both the Hebrew Prophets and the New Testament. But in this video I look at the text itself!
See the two previous videos in this series, # 13 & 14--for more on this phenomenon and why it is so important in how "Bible Prophecy" has been interpreted over the ages, right down to our own time.

,1,In this video I continue with the theme of "floating Prophecies" of the Hebrew Bible, with a careful verse by verse, focus on Zechariah 9-14, which no one can convincingly date as to historical context and even author.

,1,I was not aware of this level of popularity for my guest appearance on Bart's Ehrman's Youtube podcast "Misquoting Jesus." You can view a year's programs on his channel and the episode I did with him on Paul is here. I dealt with our quest for the "historical" Paul--what we know and how do we know it: https://youtu.be/GXJUVnlGmI8?si=IFl19fsD84rJ7SIY
I thank Bart and his whole team for making my work available to such a wide audience.

,1,This latest episode of my series on "Interpretations of Bible Prophecies Through the Ages," is a cautionary flashing light on methods of reading ancient texts in our modern times. I begin to survey some of the highly influential "floating prophecies" of the Hebrew Prophecy that are not anchored in specific historical events of the past, or reach ahead from such dated events (e.g. 8th century BCE Assyrian invasion; 6th century Babylonian invasion; Alexander and his successors, the Roman occupation, et al.) from the past that seem to stretch their visions to the "end of the age."
,1,Here are some resources I trust and recommend as a way to get a basic overview of the horrible tortune, slaughter and abduction of Jewish men, women, and children on October 7th in southern Israel. I recommend them in this order:

Finally--Before forming any conclusions on any of the complex controversies surrounding the Jewish-Arab Middle East conflict, you MUST READ:
Noa Tishby, Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth. https://amzn.to/3LZcgyD
Tisby is an amazing actress, producer, and writer with many awards for her films and TV productions--numerous Emmy and Golden Globe Awards. This book is a page turner. It is beautifully written, not DRY history...and it weaves together an amazing story so you learn the entire saga of the past 150 years of conflict in the Holy Land.
,1,In this video I present to you what I consider one of the greatest discoveries I have stumbled upon in my decades of studying ancient texts and archaeological sites. I call this "the Jesus Hideout in Jordan." I hope you will all enjoy this presentation and find it as fascinating as I have.
Here is a free download of an academic paper I published on the subject, presented at the Society of Biblical Literature meeting some years ago with fuller documentation:

,1,By the "Jesus Apocalypse" I mean the core text of Mark 13 in which Jesus is said to have laid out a scenario for his final generation. In this video I compare two rewritten accounts, found in Matthew 24 and Luke 21--both very different and going in opposite ways. The problem was clearly the failure of the prophecies of Daniel to come about after 70 CE. Although we are reading the words of the author of Mark, not Jesus directly, billions of Christians consider these one and the same.
