Death & Afterlife: A Hebrew Revolution

[@daddyo1952]

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.

[@dissidentfairy4264]

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'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 KZbin 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. .

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.

[@michaelmartin3122]

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 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!

[@TomDavisAtSundown]

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.

[@Darisiabgal7573]

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.

[@craigfairweather3401]

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.

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:

[@waterbearalpha]

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. 🙂

[@danirving]

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?

[@PeloquinDavid]

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...)

[@theunapologeticjew]

@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!

[@matthewelton7393]

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?

[@thomasrhodes5013]

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.

[@spykezspykez7001]

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...

[@kathyferguson5297]

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.

[@spykezspykez7001]

@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.

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

[@marcsegal6497]

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.

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.

[@brendantannam499]

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.

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.

Where did you read in the Bible, or the New Testament, that Sabbath is for all nations and also *mandatory* for all nations for salvation? (For the record, of course obedience is a requirement for sslvation, but what Christians believe they were taught by the original christians was that Sabbath was not one of those obediences)

[@marriage4life893]

@@youngknowledgeseeker Thank you for asking. In Mark 2:27-28, Jesus said the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. The lord is therfore Lord of the Sabbath. We are part of mankind, and that means the Sabbath was made for us just as the millennial reign to come, which the Sabbath represents, is for mankind as well. Jesus also taught us that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath in Matthew 12. At the great commission, Christ commanded the disciples to teach the nations all that he commanded them, and doing good on the Sabbath is one of those teachings the nations are to lean. Meanwhile, in Zechariah 14, the scriptures speak of Christ's return. Those who went against him and his people will have to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the biblical festival of Tabernacles or receive no rain. Within this seven day festival is a weekly Sabbath. So the prophets confirm that rest is for all of mankind, not just Jewish people. Thank you and be blessed

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

@marriage4life893 It's ok if you disagree but I would have to say none of those passages are commands to keep the Sabbath though. Definitely not in any explicit manner. What is interesting is that yes it does seem like in the return of Jesus the nation's may indeed be keep the Sabbath. However, this is the interim period between his 1st coming and 2nd. This is the period I was referring to in which it does not seem like there is a command for God's people (Christians) to keep the Mosaic Sabbath. In other words, it does not seem to be a covenant concern in the same way circumcision had no longer become a covenant concern. On judgement day, a Christian, wouldn't expect God to ask whether they were circumcised, keeping Kosher, or keeping Sabbath. Rather, were they keeping faithfulness toward the commands of the Messiah and his chosen spokespeople (like Paul). It's ok if we disagree, just wanted to share.

[@marriage4life893]

@@youngknowledgeseeker Thank you for your reply. Christ said the Sabbath was made for mankind. He doesn't say that it will be made for mankind, though that's also proven through the prophets, but that it was made for mankind. I apologize that I did not point that out earlier. Meanwhile, I do see your point. Some think the Sabbath is totally abolished. Some think it's set aside until the second coming of Christ. Some believe it is still for today. I personally keep it because it's the example of the Lord of the Sabbath himself. He is, not will be, but he is Lord of the Sabbath, which he said on the Sabbath day. Besides, in Acts 2:42, the saints worshiped together daily, which includes the Sabbath day. I guess my only qualm for today would be this: if many Christians believe the Sabbath is abolished or set aside, then why is there a political agenda to make the nation shut down on the first day of the week in the manifesto of Project 2025?.... total rabbit trail but something to think about. 1st John 2:6

[@youngknowledgeseeker]

@marriage4life893 Ok, I see what you're saying. Fair point, it was made for man. I don't know anything about that agenda, I can't really speak on it one way or another. I do know a little something about Paul however, if I may say. As a former Sabbatarian myself, Galatians really changed my outlook on its current necessity. I could no longer think to myself it is a [current] covenant requirement of God in light of Paul in Galatians and I wasn't willing to think Paul is a false prophet. That's what I really "fight" for when speaking about the Sabbath to others. Whether or not God intends it for the future, I can no longer with good conscience say it is something he requires now. It seems the requirement now is faith in and faithfulness towards the teachings, deeds and person of the Messiah, a "new" Moses of sorts with a brand new set of instructions he brings from God. Some the same as Moses, some different. Sorry to ramble. Thank you for being courteous. Though I do think Paul makes himself clear in Galatians, he does also write "whoever esteems one day greater than another..... does so for the Lord". When people keep the Sabbath they do it out of love for God, and God certainly knows and sees that.

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.

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)

[@homescholed]

Hosea 13:14 and Psalms 49:15 are other fairly direct references

[@ezekielsaltar4728]

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.

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

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.

🙏💚🧡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.

[@robsellars9338]

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?
