Rabbinic deflation theory (after 70 A.D.): a), Motive....Chrono-Messianism b), Means and Athority....Rabbi Akiba 40-137 A.D. c), Opperatunity....Judaism had been reduced to one Pharisaic sect after 70 A.D. -->There is no unbiased reliable second witness to the complete time-line of the MT before Eusebius in the 4th century A.D. Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in *a good old age* an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people. (175 years) {Genesis 25:8} ^ By MT Chronology this statement would be untrue. According to the MT, Eber was still alive and lived to be a good old age of 464 years, more than twice the age of Abraham.

I heard it more than 5 times, still I am doing the same. What an amazing insight!! I wonder on the number of views, specially on comments. I am blessed by this teaching!! Stay blessed!!

These videos are so well made. Perfect for serious students of the New Testament. Thank you so much Dr De Silva 👏👏👏

Thanks very much, you study is very useful to me in my sermon preparation.

Great. Changed your setting and lighting. Great content as always.

Two videos in one day! Awesome.

Great to see you doing videos again!

very thorough on general anthropology, would love more on findings regarding Christian culture. I'm curious how many homes were marked with the sator square, i.pinimg.com/originals/9e/d4/48/9ed4480bccfefb9ee29c0069e55b5bee.jpg

My husband is watching your video and would like to have a printout of the presentation. Is that possible?

In the copy of the Septuagint I have states that God's name is... "I am THE BEING".

Super helpful. Thank you for making this accessible to so many

Thank you Professor for yet another informative video. Worth waiting for you...

Another terrific video!

Wonderful lecture, David!

Hello Sir, please what do you think about the merits of the preterist view? Are you convinced of it? Would appreciate if you said why if answer is yes or no.

Thanks for this lecture, very helpful.

Does the word palestine exist and in use as an area or location during that time?

Matthew 9:13 - But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Jesus found value in that Greek translation. And indeed the Masoretic Text is translated into English, "I desired mercy and not sacrifice..." So the "stricter keeping of the Law" interpretation is something they generated later - after the first century. This is typical of some of the passages cited. Originally, the world didn't have any problem with the Greek translation but after the religious establishment was getting the tar beat out of them in the prophecy fulfillment department, they started changing the meanings of the Hebrew words. Prior to that the Hebrew meant the same thing the Greek was communicating. This is one of the ways in which you can make Christianity invalid. We see this happening today. The Coms have changed the meaning of the word "discover" from "find" to instead, "cause to exist". This is why the Coms say, "How could Columbus discover America when there were people already living there?" They change the meanings of words to make their opponents look stupid. The Coms teach this in government schools to this day. People who know the meanings of words, however, know that "discover" does not mean "create out of nothing". So people who know definitions cannot be fooled. The same goes with the modified and massaged meanings of the Hebrew words, which were fine and dandy for both Jew and Greek - until Jesus got involved. That requires a redefining of all those words. It's an old trick but it is effective.

David, thank you for this. Is it possible to get a copy of your presentation text?

2:20 That scared the living daylights out of me.

The Hebrew word for faith is Emunah (אמונה). Interestingly, Another word that shares the same root with Emunah is of course “Amen” (אמן). The idea is connected to Am which is mother, an established trust because it is firm or faithful.

Thank you so much 🙏🏾for assisting me with extra lessons I now understand better with my lectures.. Sir, is possible that you could assist with other lessons 9 and more I want to double check myself. Will appreciate your assistance in this regard 🙏🏾

I love it and I need it more and more How can I get next videos

Thank you so much 🙏🏾 the lesson has assisted in understanding analysis

You're an excellent teacher / professor! Because English is my only language, I had much difficulty relating the Greek grammar & structure to English syntax. I am not a language major (for that matter an English major) :) Thank you so much for putting these videos on KZbin. God bless you & I am convinced you are building the Kingdom of God & educating the people of God.

Great video! I was wondering do you think Antiochus III was a successful or unsuccessful Seleucid King? Antiochus III the Great was a Seleucid king who traveled to India, took Hannibal, the Carthaginian general, in his court, and campaigned against Rome. During his reign he was the indisputable ruler of the Seleucid Empire. His life and rule is very fascinating to study but was he a successful or unsuccessful Seleucid King? During his reign he ruled over a large region of the territory in Syria. He expanded the empire’s territory and campaigned all the way to India. This level of military achievement had not been achieved since Alexander the Great. Antiochus III was even referred to as “the great” or “great king.” He even declared himself as the “champion of Greek freedom against Roman domination.” He even stood against Rome. For a brief moment, it seemed as if he would be the one to stand up to Rome and reverse the course of his declining empire. However, history seemed to have other plans. He appeared to make numerous mistakes during his military campaigns against Rome and would lose a big portion of his western territories. This was sealed in the Treaty of Apamea (188 BCE) where he agreed to all of the terms of the Romans. Antiochus III spent his last years trying to maintain and expand his weakened influence over the east. He was killed in Elam in 187 BCE, as he was pillaging the temple of Bel in an attempt to replenish his empty coffers. Antiochus III the Great had managed to become the king who had, at the same time, both restored the glory of the Seleucid Empire and seemed to also sign its doom. So, overall, should he be labelled as a successful or unsuccessful Seleucid King? Was he only successful in the short-run but failed in the long-run? Did he succeed or fail in other areas other than the military (economy, people’s opinion etc)? What were the ancient historians opinions of him? This question really interests me and I believe he doesn’t get enough attention. Thanks!

This has been one of my favorite lectures so far. Thank you for this.

You need to start making videos again!

Great and interesting lecture. Thank you Dr. deSilva!

Thank you. this is very helpful for me. May I have the presentation please? [email protected]

May I Know when 1 enoch written? is it before the genesis or after the genesis?

We built a really cool amphitheater, it was awesome.

Check this out. Mary said, "He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble." Luke 1.52 Ben Sira said, "He removes powerful rulers, replacing them with the humble." Sirach 10.14 - I've also noticed that Jesus, many times throughout the gospels, expounds on Sira's reflections of the Scriptures. Sometimes pushing much farther, adding his radical teachings to the well known Jewish wisdom. Thank you for uploading this.

The Masoretic Text (MT) was an alteration of significant portions of the Square Hebrew Old Testament that began early (noted by the Talmud and Mishnah showing conflicting texts, contradictions, and multiple, competing rabbis making alterations) though Jews also used the Septuagint (translated from Square Hebrew in the mid third century BC), and older than the MT; The MT are hardly original scriptures and not a BC text; see Jeremiah 8:8 (Septuagint). Paleo Hebrew, used from the 12th to 6th century BC (around 2,000 years older than the MT), gave way to Square Hebrew (around 1,300 years older than the MT), which then eventually gave way to Greek, as evidenced by the Septuagint, which is around 1,000 years than the MT. The Septuagint predates Christianity, used when Greek became the lingua franca, and its use in synagogues by Jews around the Mediterranean was substantiam. Paleo Hebrew, Square Hebrew, and the Septuagint (LXX) within the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) preserve the originals, and overwhelmingly disagree with the MT in numerous instances. The Septuagint predates Christianity and scrolls from it are found within the Dead Sea Scrolls. 1.) Exodus 1:5 in the DSS Square Hebrew agrees with the Septuagint against the MT (and KJV) that all the souls from Jacob were 75, not 70. 2.) The older Square Hebrew in the DSS, the Samaritan Pentateuch, Aramaic Targums, etc, agrees with the Septuagint against the MT (and KJV) for Deut. 32:8-9 in using Sons/angels of God and not sons of Israel. 3.) The Square Hebrew in the DSS for Deuteronomy 32:43 lines up with the Septuagint against the MT (and KJV) saying the angels are to worship messiah. 4.) The Septuagint for 1 and 2 Samuel are backed up by 3 DSS and the MT is known among scholars as botching 1 and 2 Samuel badly. 5.) The MT wrongly has Saul becoming king at age one and ruling for two years. 6.) The MT actually left out an entire line from a Psalm that the Square Hebrew and the Septuagint preserved, thus the so-called masters of vowel memorization not only forgot vowels but also consonants. 7.) Psalm 40:6: a messianic proof text for the Incarnation: The MT (and KJV): Thou hast dug out my ears. The Septuagint: A body thou hast prepared for me. 8.) Concerning another messianic psalm, Psalm 22:16, the DSS Square Hebrew agree with the Septuagint and KJV against the MT. 9.) Baruch, Sirach, Tobit, and Psalm 151 are written in Hebrew in the DSS. 10.) ▪︎The chronologies of Genesis 5, 11 of the Paleo Hebrew and the Septuagint line up against the MT. ▪︎Literary sources before 100 AD that agree with the LXX: 2 Esdras, Josephus and Philo (30/70 AD) did not use the Septuagint to come to their conclusion that lines up with the Septuagint, etc. ▪︎Eupolemus, the Jewish 2nd century BC historian's chronology, comes close to aligning with the Paleo Hebrew and Septuagint and not the MT. ▪︎Jewish Demetrius the Chronicler's (3rd century BC) chronology comes very close to the Paleo Hebrew and Septuagint and against the MT. Justin Martyr said the Jews in his time period were altering their scriptures. ▪︎biblearchaeology.org/research/biblical-chronologies/4349-mt-sp-or-lxx-deciphering-a-chronological-and-textual-conundrum-in-genesis-5 Since synagogues around the Mediterranean used Septuagint and Square Hebrew, even in Palestine, Greek was the lingua franca, Jesus grew up near Sepphoris where Hebrew and Greek were both spoken and where Joseph could ply his trade, Christ quoted the scriptures, spoke to the Syrophoenician woman, and Mark/Luke were written to Romans/Greeks, some will be hard-pressed to prove Jesus used only Hebrew. Concerning key messianic scriptures, Catholics, Copts, Orthodox, and Protestants see that the leaven of the rabbis and then the Masoretes seemed to target scriptures that point to Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16:6). The Paleo Hebrew, Square Hebrew, and the Septuagint all agree with each other against the MT far more than they disagree, thus the starting point is to sideline the MT. There are dozens and dozens of instances where the Paleo Hebrew, Square Hebrew, and the Septuagint agree against the MT: By the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses let every word be established. Deut. 19:15; 2 Cor. 13:1. Given the Septuagint was found with Paleo Hebrew and Square Hebrew scrolls in the DSS, one would again be hard-pressed to prove that Christians composed the Septuagint and ultimately given 1-10, to deny the Septuagint is to deny the DSS because before there was a Septuagint, the Paleo Hebrew and Square Hebrew scriptures in 1-10 and Gen. 5 and 11 declared these things before the Septuagint came into being.

Letter of Aristeas was written on the second century or earlier

how to differentiate between present active indicative....and present active continuous....

I'm glad I was wrong. Nice job.

Jewpiter. Lol

Thanks for this lecture. Any way to download the slides? Are sources footnoted?

This was an amazing video, thank you so much.

Thank you, this is the only youtube on point--and very helpful! For seizures, you could show us how to use the Lexikon des Frügriechischen Epos.

You mentioned that the '7 hills' clearly allude to Rome. Some futurists will argue that the word 'hills' should be translated as 'mountains' instead, because that Greek word always refers to a mountain elsewhere in the NT. I did a word search, and it's not always clear that 'mountain' is intended (and not 'hill') in all of these verses... for example, should Matthew 5:1 and 5:14 be understood as 'hill' or 'mountain?' I don't know how you could even tell. But... Luke 3:5 and 23:30 do seem to distinguish 'mountain' and 'hill,' using two different Greek words. Any thoughts?
