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."

,,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,This is a video recording of a LIVE video lecture on Zoom I did with my students today in my "Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls" class. This is deep and complex stuff, but utterly fascinating as you get into it.

,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.
This was part of a lecture to my Research Group in our monthly Zoom meeting. If you would like to be a part of this in the future here are the details:
