Dr. John Stevenson-thank you so much for your concise presentation and historical background from the intertestimental period to the N.T. I learned a lot from this presentation and piqued my interest in Jewish history.
Thank you Dr. Stevenson! Your narration summarizes and the accompanying pictures help in visualizing the historical foundations in the New Testament very concisely and even entertaining.
+bukton10 My brotha, the entire new testament is false. It was put together by Europeans such as this guy speaking the video to lead the TRUE children of Israel astray. All of the children of the 1619 slave trade are the real Jews of the bible. My ancestors never prayed to Jesus. He is a false prophet and did not die for anybody's sins. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. - Deuteronomy 24:16 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. - Ezekiel 18:20 Read the book of remembrance(old testament) if you want to receive the WORD of God. Not once do you ever read THUS SAYS THE LORD in the new testament.
+Yosef of Yasharahla Someone has been feeding you bad information. And as to the claim that the New Testament never says, "Thus says the Lord," Revelation 1:8 says -- "I am the Alpha and the Omega," SAYS THE LORD GOD, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Sadducee's adherents controlled the Temple and the Sanhedrin at the time of Christ. You don't hear much about Sadducee's anymore as sadly, they were predominantly wealthy or powerful people and were lost when Rome destroyed Judea and Jerusalem around 70 BC. So sad.
Good video, very informative with no conspiracy stuff. Lately so many videos claim to tell you facts but half way in they waste your time with whatever nonsense the video makers believe. This was like sitting in a college class room.
I have done several different series of such studies. - The History of Civilization: ua-cam.com/play/PLzXUSjGE6VFOwE0NRwRA_HVyiHUgwWzFU.html - New Testament Backgrounds: ua-cam.com/play/PLzXUSjGE6VFMh8Z0wpjLUSQ5tqfz-2yfc.html
Well done sir, you filled a bunch of nutshells there , thank you for your work thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and it found it to be very accurate very informative again well done sir👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful to me. I was disappointed that the dates weren’t shown more. It’s funny because when I took a history class I hated learning dates. Overall though, I think that it was a very good video and wouldn’t have minded if it went into even more depth. Thanks again Dr. Stevenson. God bless you!
Yes, thankful for all the pictures to make this easier to understand. Learning a lot and very grateful. But question is, did man (Constantine) change the Sabbath to Sunday away from the biblical Sabbath?
+Maryann Lee We learn from the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, the Didache, and even from the New Testament itself that it was the normal practice of Christians to meet together for worship on the first day of the week. This took place long before Constantine. They did not necessarily see this as "changing the Sabbath," but rather, it seems to have been as a regular memorial of the resurrection.
Thank you Dr Stevenson. Struggling because Exodus 20:10 Sabbath is the 7th day. NT Paul, Jesus, His disciples had kept the 7th day Sabbath going to the synagogue then. The 10 commandment never changes or is deleted because we do not steal, murder even today. Enjoy all your programs. Thank you for helping us learn and grow.
@Maryann Lee, I don't know if you saw it, but Dr. Stevenson said that in the NT and in the Apostolic Fathers, and the Didache, we see that the early church met on the first day of the week. That didn't change that Sabbath; presumably Jewish believers still kept that. Acts 15 addresses whether the new gentile believers had to keep the law of Moses.
One error..the original Septuagint rabbis translated into koine greek were the Torah being Genesis to Deuteronomy...not the entire Hebrew Tanakh. Oregin used hexapla to re write Christian version calling it "old testament "using Greek,Aramaic and Hebrew into latin which is very much different than original Hebrew Tanakh.שלום
There was a complete Greek old Testament by 130bc at the latest. It was used all over the region, including in Judea, and even in many synagogues. In addition, In most cases where there are variants or disagreements between the DSS Manuscripts and the Hebrew Masoretic, The DSS does agree with the Septuagint.

I think Alexander was angry at his soldiers for mutiny and perhaps his generals as well. Maybe they had a hand in it. Alexander certainly favored neither. Lots in soldiers died on the March back to Persia and which of his generals did he anoint to follow him?
NIV bible shows roman additions by church fathers to koine Greek...like 1john5:7-8...they modified the koinr Greek and Hebrew scriptures...even Martin Luther and Erasmus knew this.
! John 5:7 was not added by the church fathers; it was added by the Roman Catholic Church in Erasmus' day a good 1500 years after the church fathers. On the other hand, the Latin version was in the Vulgate a very long time earlier, so it might have been someone's commentary on the text that was inadvertently added to the codex. Perhaps one of these days I will do a short series on textual criticism.
David Ross...., I believe you're referring to to title, yes? You are incorrect in your above statement, because you miswrote. You meant to say that "Malachi" is not from the New Testament. Because "Matthew" (which you also misspelled, btw), is indeed the first book of the Bible.
Thank you so much, Dr. Stevenson! To be able to study the word of God at a college level teaching through my laptop is a blessing!
Dr. John Stevenson-thank you so much for your concise presentation and historical background from the intertestimental period to the N.T. I learned a lot from this presentation and piqued my interest in Jewish history.
This is fascinating. Thank you for covering this information and doing so with passion and interest!

I SO love this, it REALLY fed my hunger for History in scripture, ty 4 the upload!

Thanks. You make the early part of the new testament easier to understand.

This video was so helpful. Thank you :) I now have a better understanding of this period of history. Loved it !
Good stuff. Excellent background.
This was really really great teaching which I thoroughly enjoyed I learned so much thank you
Just brilliant - very helpful.
i thank God for your faithfulness in his words
Excellent! You appear to be very familiar and comfortable with the whole period. Thank you for enlightening me!
The Sadducee's didn't believe in the resurrection of the dead ...that is why they are "Sad ... you.. see? "
Ah, you! 👈😉
lol, clever.
And the Pharisees DID believe in the resurrection of the dead, which is “Fair ... I ... see.”

An old joke that just keeps getting better with time.
Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU and more, More, MORE !!!!

thanks for this, God bless
Learned so much--thank you
Do more historical summaries! Amen
I have done several different series of such studies.

Thanks for sharing
God bless yoou
Thank you for the informative lecture.
Good information, thanks for sharing! I am working to fill in a couple gaps during the Intertestamental Period for a video and this was helpful.

For a little more depth (but also some repetition), see my series on History of Civilization: www.angelfire.com/nt/theology/audio/civilization.html
Excellent!
I really enjoyed this one doc! Learned a lot. Thx Question: why did Rome recognize Judea as an independent state?
It was likely because Rome and the Seleucids had been at odds. This is one of those cases where the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
@@DrJohnStevenson Makes a lot of sense, thanks doc.
Brilliant!

The most popular version has it that, when asked to whom he would leave his kingdom, he whispered, "To the strongest."
And it took a lot of blood to settle who the strongest would be.
Amen
63 BC Judea and Samaria Formed
Interesting
142BC Rome recognized Judah

James White has done entire shows on the question.

Mathew is not the new testament!
+David Ross ..... Seems like that is the first chapter in every bible I have ever opened...... look again....
David Ross...., I believe you're referring to to title, yes?
You are incorrect in your above statement, because you miswrote.
You meant to say that "Malachi" is not from the New Testament. Because "Matthew" (which you also misspelled, btw), is indeed the first book of the Bible.
