...I got more clarity tonight on this land, that has captured the attention of the world, for a few thousand years...I went up Masada at night, around 1995....I was on a Poland Israeli collegiate trip, with Jewish students from around the world.....I never saw stars in the sky anywhere, like I did that night......Some were shooting stars as well.....
Thank you for this marvellous overview. I had the opportunity to go to Israel in 2013. Masada was astounding, as was Caesaria. There was also a Herrod exhibition in Jerusalem at that time. The main researcher unfortunately died in an accident preparing the exhibition. I think he may have also successfully located Herrod's tomb... not 100% certain on that.
@@jenA9026 well, surely I didn’t mean this type of Hellenising. From about times of Jason the heigh priest until its destruction in 70 AD Jerusalem had been both Jewish and Greaco-Roman metropolis.
@@alexandernabiulin9912 I'd like to learn more on that as I certainly do not have a deep education on the matter. I think it an excellent suggestion as a topic for this channel.
Thank you for this one too. I read in my latest issue of World Archaeology magazine that around 700AD there was a Jewish tradition that developed among some that Eve was not the first mate for Adam, but it was Lilith, and she was created in the same manner as Adam. Evidently Lilith tried to equal herself to Adam and she was expelled from Eden. Eve was then created from Adam's rib and replaced Lilith. I never heard that story before, have you? I hope this doesn't count as a hard question.
The dome of the rock was constructed from 687 until 692. This is the shikutz, abomination, that replaced the Tamid, the daily offering. Daniel says the time from the shikutz until the end is 1335. 687+1335=2022. This is the end year.
In the early Muslim period, the government put small fortresses called ribat all along the coast of Palestine. Two still exist, one close to Gaza by Ashkelon and another in Caesarea.
I never considered that Herod's "slaughter of the innocents" refers to his own children. But, it makes sense. Matthew says that Herod slaughtered Nazarean boys 2 years old and younger because that is the amount of time since the Magi saw the star "at it's rising." So, the Magi didn't actually visit a baby, but a toddler. It does make sense that Herod would want to eliminate his own children, just in case. If his children were toddlers, the theory is more plausible. However, I think the whole Magi story might be a literary device which defines the date of Jesus's birth astronomically (astrologically). Same thing with John's account and Revelation 12.
Herod was in fact a Arab Nabatean who worked for the Romans. The Temple he built was Hellenised architecture, the local authorities adopted Roman names, Roman dress and Hellenised culture. The Romans built temples everywhere and Jerusalem was no exception. They called it a “theocracy” to tax animal sacrifice. In Alexandra, which had a larger Jewish population than Palestine, Philo was the Roman tax collector like Herod in Palestine
Thanks Dr!
My pleasure!

Our Hebrew story is so great and really unique
Watching in Tzfat, thank you!
Nice!
Thank you
King Herod, such a controversial character! Just fascinating!

Please release Portuguese subtitles on UA-cam
What about Herodion??
I hope you are going to tell about the Temple Mount and how Herod made Jerusalem a magnificent Graeco-Roman city.
Yes and didn't Hadrian really 'go to town' Hellenising Jerusalem and renaming it ?

Hmm... it feels a little 'end of days' at times. If it is, on the plus side I can worry less about my superannuation.
Convenient interpretation so that you can recycle it for the next five years until you realize you're wrong.

The Sages say[ regarding Herod’s temple]:One who has not seen Herod’s building has never seen a beautiful building in his life. ( Bava Batra 4).

Interesting comment
Die israelische Tourismusbranche soll dem König Herodes dankbar sein😀.
