    I expect you know that the line Aggripa cried over was during Hakhel, when he was the Reader (Ba'al Koreh) as part of his duties as king, rather than merely receiving an Aliyah. (Maybe calling it an _aliya_ is a cute anachronism, but I think the story lacks the punch without the proper details.)

    I am a Catholic Christian and i find your lectures very fair and enlightening. I especially "enjoy" (for lack of a better term) this part and how and when Christianity parted from Judaism. It is a crime, obviously, all of the antisemitism and atrocities conmitted against Jews since 70 CE in the name of Christianity. If more Christians like myself knew history better perhaps, like me, they would have a more positive perspective on Jews and Judaism. Judaism existed before and without Christianity. But Christianity wouldn't exist without Judaism.

      Both are menorahs. One menorah has three on each side & belongs in the Holy Temple, the other is often referred to as a Chanukkiah because it is used during the 8 day long holiday of Chanukkah. Their are 4 on each side which are lit corresponding to each day during the 8 days, beginning with lighting the first candle on the first night & the first & 2nd in the second night etc. culminating in all 8 candles being lit on the 8th & final night.

    31:00 - A talent (as a unit of mass) is 57 lb. So 17 talents of gold probably means 969 lb of gold. Seems quite a lot to me.
    A talent can also mean the cash value of 57 lb of silver. So it could mean 17 talents worth of gold (ie the money value of 969 lb of silver, in gold). Still quite a lot.
    Maybe not if you are a procurator, I suppose.
    The 57 lb came from the weight of a standard amphora filled with water. Approx. 1 cubic foot.

      @cannaewargaming4815 2 роки тому

      @@HenryAbramsonPhD In fact it is not "quite a lot", it's a "tremendous amount" for one talent, according to Wikipedia. Maybe 30kg of silver in a talent, and in 2018 one kg of silver was worth about $40,000, so a talent would be worth about $1.2 million. And you said that he raided the temple for 19(?) talents. That's $20 million in modern terms. But you said that the raid was made for a small amount of money. It wasn't.
      And while I enjoyed the quite entertaining presentation, there was too much bias. As if no other besieged forces ever sallied out from a city and attempted to surprise the besiegers. Or that no-one else built tunnels etc to try to defeat siege works and siege engines. No other reasonable historian would refer to the people involved in something that happened 2,000 years ago as "us" and "we". You weren't there, and probably have no idea even if anyone from your history was there. Already by the time of Herod the Great there was a very significant Jewish diaspora across much of the Western Mediterranean, including for example a large Jewish community in Alexandria, where Philo lived. And Saul/Paul originally a Jew then a Christian convert was from Tarsus in modern-day Turkey. These very much Hellenized Jews don't appear to have rebelled against Rome at all, the issues were all in Palestine where hardcore groups of religious fundamentalists and the wealthy elite battled for control. Which was why so many times there was just as much in-fighting, as fighting against the Romans. As you mentioned, at one time there were three descendants of Herod claiming to be King of the Jews, and others descended from the Maccabees, as well as a succession of religious nutjobs claiming to be the Messiah. Many with dedicated followers willing to fight for their claims. So that while Christians also love to tell stories of Roman persecution, we see in the story of James, the leader of Christians in Jerusalem during the first revolt, that he was thrown to his death from the Temple Mount at the time while Jerusalem had been captured by Jewish forces and the Romans had retreated, ie. he was killed by Jews as part of this in-fighting. And Paul was arrested by Jews, and he chose (as a Roman citizen) to go to Rome for his trial. While he was executed in Rome, it is clear he was executed for religious crimes against Judaism. I make no claim that the Christians were doing any good, or that the Jews were bad in this. Merely to point out it is one aspect showing the degree to which the Jews in Palestine were fragmented, and James, Peter, Paul etc. were JEWS, they were not as yet following an independent religion (though Paul came close to it before his death). Those especially in Jerusalem under Peter and James leadership, still advocated following Jewish religious law. And we also see in the Dead Sea Scrolls evidence of other groups/sects outside of the control of the Jewish religious authorities. As you hinted at, there was a war within a war inside Jerusalem even while the Romans were besieging it.
      There is not even the pretense of independence in judging the events. For example, the archive does not show what it is was like to be a woman in Palestine at the time, but what it was like to be a RICH woman. How many other women (and most men of course) owned orchards and had the money to pay for lawyers? How many other women could afford to divorce their husband and leave the family home? An interesting set of documents no doubt, but not necessarily something which could tell us what it was like for ordinary families at the time caught up between the Romans, the local ruling elites, and various religious sects, all vying for power. And all led by men, with women playing only marginal roles.

      John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he
      will tell us all things., I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell
      us all things.
      1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and
      the Son.
      23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the
      Father also.
      1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false
      prophets are gone out into the world.
      2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is
      of God:
      3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that
      spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
      Revelation 2
      8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and
      is alive;
      9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say
      they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
      Revelation 3
      8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little
      strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
      9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I
      will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
      Numbers 12:1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had
      married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
      Numbers 12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as
      snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
      Could the liars who say they are Jews be the same liars that say Jesus is not the Christ? Is this the synagogue of satan? You guys even call yourself Ashkenazi Jews, descendants of Ashkenaz, the son of Gomer, son of Japheth!
      Genesis 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were
      sons born after the flood.
      2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
      3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
      This lineage is confirmed in the Torah, proving descendants of Ashkenaz cannot be Jews or Semitic!

    In 23:25, as for the passage about Agrippa taken from the Babylonian Talmud (Sotah 41a), was it Agrippa I or Agrippa II? As for why Agrippa could not read from the Torah as a king of Israel, it was more related to his family being a family of proselytes (from the Idumean nation). Proselytes are still Jews by religion, but the only time a Jewish king can actually read publicly the Torah once in seven years on the Temple Mount is when the king was born from an Israelite mother. The Sages of Israel flattered Agrippa, saying to him that he was one of their own, when, in actuality, he was a Jewish king who could NOT legally read from the Torah publicly at that time.

      Just intresting to mention and wonder.
      If Agrippa was the jewish king but from Herodes was he allowed to sit in the Temple whilst reading the Thora ?
      According to Halacha only the House of David was allowed to sit in the Temple.

Yahweh has never ceased raising his LIVING WORD to not only instruct us but to deliver us and to receive the full understanding of the uttered 'I AM THAT I AM' and with enough passing of time where personal development expands into the cultural development that evolves intellectually another word for spiritually when discussing real liberal learning and how the individual and the advanced souls who help deliver the Messiah that is the Lord or the Father waking within the life of the heart's Holy of Holies and is what the Ark of the Covenant with its powerful electrical current or network that empowers the necessary strength so that our heart's courage and strength switched on the internal senses that allows the human being to come of age through mature love and wisdom based on the deepest truths so that the intimacy of 'I AM THAT I AM' can be united in the mind and heart of the individual and why the creative or Holy battles all come under the umbrella of the Holy War which our Divine Father planned perfectly so that globally all formal religion rises above faith and belief and becomes enlightened as it takes to know the highest things and the responsibilities that are attached to the Advanced Divine Minds that illuminate the neural pathway of what it means to actually live in the City of Man whilst dwelling in the City of God that the Catholic writer Augustine failed to grasp as his grace was not sufficient to attain the spiritual evolution that he had not achieved at a time when Holy Israel (loosely termed for want of a better description of the Holy Global Temple) that is the LIVING TANAKH OR HEBREW BIBLE where the TORAH describes the CREATIVE DIVINE WORLD that had to be understood and translated to world when it came of age.
    That time is NOW! Yahweh needs his beloved off-spring to create the future worlds that come first from darkness to light as Genesis explains on a psychological platform that we formerly called spiritually or intellectually developed from the playground of life experience.
    When people complain that Yahweh let them suffer must understand that it is our responsibility to become accountable and participate more learnedly from the facts of life so that we select our leaders with more wisdom and are not struck down with the plagues that proud minds can produce.
    Why the shares of King David, etc. are recorded to show what overcoming weakness and most importantly, pride and how the power of re-building ourselves makes us even greater for those that follow from the living energy that is a living part of where we are currently and I agree Rabbi Abramson that Judaism is not historical except a reflective collective awareness that allows the highest benchmark of a heart's collective knowledge to develop a cultural global living very highly tuned conscience.
    Do we call our memory or personal recollection, history? No, not really. Our cultural development of the supreme or divine heights or worlds are evolved from what has come before and this is a living stream as we stand here because of our gathered learning and this is the very knowledge stream that guides us culturally and globally to the point that we are able to light the pathway up for tomorrow on earth and in heaven where everything is synthesised far more deeply than psychologists or spiritual leaders have opened up or researched yet for the many.
    The power and glory of THE LIVING WORD. Read Genesis for a spiritual swoon.

      It’s futile to even have a dialogue with most of them. The Romans did quite a number on them & 2,000 years of brainwashing takes a miracle to undo. They are completely blind & mentally blocked except for a small minority who merited favor in the eyes of Hashem & either became Noachides or converts. I rarely expend effort on deprogramming these people except for rare occasion when I come across someone who is sincerely seeking the Truth. I admire your patience & strength.

    35:00 Is described in Luke 21:20 "when Jerusalem is surrounded by armies you will know that the desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judeah flee to the hills". The Christians all fled the city south into the mountains after the army left "for unknown reasons", therefore they missed the tribulation the remaing people of Jerusalem suffered during the destruction a few short years later. GOD warned Israel (his chosen people) once again.

      Deuteronomy 23:19 states no interest can be charges to bretheren (which Christians took seriously), no interest means no loans, economy collapses, ruling powers invite money lenders from different tribe to spur economy, eventually money lenders own everything, resentment from local population, lending tribe kicked out of country... wash rise repeat. Also, consider Christian perspective of over one million (half of all Eurasian tribal members) following the Satanic actions of false Kabbalist Messiah Sabbatai Zevi 1666. Dr Abramson does a lecture on him that touches on his life.

      @@taliadavid858 Maybe on the southern end of the temple mount, but I doubt it. Remember, the Jerusalem of that time was completely destroyed, and the ruins were ploughed into the fields. If anything, some people are now saying that the temple mount was actually part of the Antonia fortress, and there is some validity to this, given that it housed many Romans legions, stables for their horses, etc. I think it is more likely that Temple was somewhere south of the Temple Mount, possibly in the ruins just south of Al Aqsa mosque... The Dome of the Rock was not the location of the Temple. No mention of a large protruding rock in any of the texts. This rock would be more in keeping with a citadel.

    Moses prophesied this to the house of Israel, c1450 years before it occurred in 70AD.
    “And all these maledictions will certainly come upon you and pursue you and overtake you until you have been annihilated, because you did not listen to the voice of YHVH your God by keeping his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you.
    And they must continue on you and your offspring as a sign and a portent to time indefinite, due to the fact that you did not serve YHVH your God with rejoicing and joy of heart for the abundance of everything. And you will have to serve your enemies whom YHVH will send against you with hunger and thirst and nakedness and the want of everything; and he will certainly put an iron yoke upon your neck until he has annihilated you.
    YHVH will raise up against you a nation far away, from the end of the earth, just as an eagle pounces, a nation whose tongue you will not understand a nation fierce in countenance who will not be partial to an old man or show favour to a young man. And they will certainly eat the fruit of your domestic animals and the fruitage of your ground until you have been annihilated, and they will let no grain new wine or oil no young of your cattle or progeny of your flock remain for you until they have destroyed you. And they will indeed besiege you within all your gates until your high and fortified walls in which you are trusting fall in all your land, yes, they will certainly besiege you within all your gates in all your land, which YHVH your God has given you. Then you will have to eat the fruit of your belly the flesh of your sons and your daughters, whom YHVH your God has given you because of the tightness and stress with which your enemy will hem you in. (Deuteronomy 28:45-53)

      It seems you don't build glory and the Kingdom of God without Suffering, Israel. You guys suffered a lot, and Jesus took crucifixion to build his church. He was attempting to be a Messiah and had a go at messianic ideals as he saw it. I think he probably got God's attention who agreed to build his church with the gospel he researched and the commitments he was willing to make. He was never the Messiah of Israel, but acts in his own messianic ministry of his own ideals with the flock from mankind God gives to him from time to time.

    Jesus came when he did to announce the end of Daniels 70 weeks, “the time is fulfilled, He said, the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.” The physical Kingdom was about to be shut down, with the priesthood and the sacrifice. All of it was Foretold throughout the prophets and Daniel gave us the timeline.
    Jesus said, “believe me and you will be saved, if not you will suffer fire and Judgment.
    Jesus was prophesying the coming war with Rome that would be fueled by Jerusalem’s own citizens and clergy.
    ‘Upon this generation, Jesus said, shall come all the innocent blood shed from Abel to Zacharias before Elijah, the one crying in the wilderness came saying “make straight a pathway for our God, He’s coming and his winnowing fan is in his hand and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn and bundle the tares and burn them with fire.
    Everything Christ said would happen, did happen. This was the testimony to history that Jesus gave his life for Judah, he came to his own and they received him not, but those who believed him escaped the civil war and then the Roman war.
    Christ knew the Pharisees would reject him and anyone else who threatened their religious authority and their wealth, they all paid with their lives in the three-and-a-half-year civil war, it was literal hell on earth.
    In the last week of Christ’s life when he entered Jerusalem to die, He gave the final warning when he stood upon the Hill overlooking the temple Mount and wept and cried out, how often he had wanted to protect Jerusalem like a mother hen her brood, but the time was coming, he said “when they will build a siege wall around you and close you in on every side and you shall be leveled to the ground without one stone left upon another because you did not recognize the day of Visitation.
    When the war was over 1,100,000 Jews were dead, most from starvation and the civil war or a Roman sword. This was the time of Jacobs trouble, this was the fulfillment of the curse of Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26, this was the end of the physical temple and the authority of those who controlled it.
    The warning that Christ and his apostles brought to Judea and Samaria and Galilee shall be the Historical evidence for all eternity that He did everything he could possibly do to warn his people of the coming judgment.
    Deuteronomy 32:28-36 (KJV)
    28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
    29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
    32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
    33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
    34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
    35 To me belongs vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
    36 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up or left.
