Dead Sea Scrolls - The War Scroll - Apocalyptic War Against Belial and the Sons of Darkness
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2021
- The War Between Good and Evil has become a fundamental aspect of Apocalypticism - from the visions of the End in the New Testament Book of Revelation to contemporary Pop Culture Marvel Movies. This titanic, cosmic struggle reaches back to the turn of the Common Era and finds its most early mature expression in the War Literature found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Here we find a description of the final battle between the forces of light led by the angel Michael and those of darkness led by the demonic general Belial. In this episode we turn to the famed War Scroll with its ceremonial weapons, quasi-Roman cosmic warfare and the gateway to the final Messianic Era.

Pure Compassion in Pure Truth is not in

Jesus Christ Loved killing eating Innocent animals yet is of Pure love and a "Perfect Man"
Is there Pure Compassion in harming physically and by words which carry energy to the animal/s
And to consume them?

Your channel has become my favourite to watch before bed, I'm amazed by your honesty approaching different texts, it's really refreshing to get such unbiased religious information.
@@youforgotyourcrap you mean breathes air?
Unbiased?
@timhallas4275 well yeah sometimes he covers topics that may even be uncomfortable for Judaism, he covers these topics for educational purposes, if your belief is solid you will be either unswayed by new knowledge or enriched by it, no harm no foul buddy
Well said. I concur.❤

Your voice cadence, your entire online demeanor is so engaging. Such excellent work. Your videos answer questions that have haunted me for so long. I am so glad you found your calling, he said selfishly. And yes I have sent $$$, worth every penny. You have rounded out my Golden Dawn lessons and made them meaningful to my Jewish heritage which I struggled with and no longer do. At peace now, thank you brother.
Thanks so much for your support and kind words!
That is, to me, the highest compliment to say that someone has given you peace. I will say sometimes the Professor disturbs me from my business to contemplate the Divine. Priceless . But I am also amazed. He does not disturb my peace but he makes me restless to know and ye, understand more!
I don't think I have ever heard the whole story behind the Scrolls before. Thanks for that.

This is extremely well written, as is most episodes. Your research is profound and awesome, can’t wait for more about early Judaic literature and Messianic literature.

Maybe!
Adonizedek would tie in nicely, the king of Jerusalem during the time of Joshua's war with cannaan.
@@TheEsotericaChannel would be great! Especially the story of pre flood Melchizedek born fully formed and taken by Michael. Also the duality of Him and (Melkiresha?). Apologies but it has been a while and do not remember the spelling of the name.

Another great video.
Would love to see a video on the influence of Zoroastrianism on second temple Judaism (and Christianity, and Islam).
Sounds real interesting, I second your request!!!👍😻
I third your request.
Or the influence of Judaism on Zoroastrianism
@@oceanmachine1906 I've never heard of that, but if there is any, I'd love to know about it.
@@oceanmachine1906 Both, they clearly had contact with each other and it's very apparent what Judaism took from Zoroastrianism but since we live in the West less is known overall about Zoroastrian theology and history. Even in Persia and their outpost in India there's so few of them that finding a guy who's both a historian and a theologian with no religious hangups clouding their perspective on the evidence we have is really hard to find.
Oh my goodness. Thank you sir for pointing out what I literally never realized: the revelation (apocalyptic literature) was just moving the ancient protector god over the sea monster of chaos prior to creation moved to the future. Absolutely amazing
Thank you as always! Today I was directed here because I wanted to find out where Netanyahu got his image of the the fight between the children of light and children of darkness from. This is very concerning when an actual prime minister is citing apocalyptic visions…

Book of Maccabees
I agree very concerning & dogmatic thinking it just shows the people in power there for what they really are. My Jewish brothers are very concerned with this as well & im proud to say denouncing the violence & oppression in that area.
We need a resolution a lasting resolution to this situation & not more rivers of blood.
@@TheRisenPeopleEire don’t you see there will be a resolution and when Trump provides it then is the start of the tribulation…
Your thorough and erudite commentary based on your research and reflection is most impressive, sir. This subject matter is among the most challenging of topics and as you state, more urgent and relevant than ever. The whole notion of esoteric knowledge is necessarily of interest to the few. But as the Master Jesus said: "To him who hath ears, let him hear." Thank you deeply for your commitment to this scholarly analysis which is beyond most people's ken.
Why use big word when small word do good?

I really love your channel. Thank you for putting the time and energy into these free classes. It is greatly appreciated. I'm learning so much!

Just amazing how much of an interesting topic you are covering with your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤
This is one of your greats! Jesse
I'm reminded of a story about a group of Jews in a German concentration camp allegedly charging God with Breach of Contract. God was assigned an attorney, witnesses were called, Scripture was examined and after both the prosecution and defense had made their arguments a verdict was reached. They found God guilty.
God's attorney then asked the question, "what do we do now?"
The prosecutor responded, "We pray"
similar stories have them finding G-d, non-guilt by reason of insanity.
@@TheEsotericaChannel wait a minute, can a all-knowing, all-seeing being alleged that? It cannot say that didn't know. . .
I didn't expect to be glued to this video from start to finish. Bravissimo.
WAR 'What is it good for?' SCROLLS! And a great overview of one of the most evocative, in my opinion, pieces of religious literature from ancient times. I am inclined to agree with the notion of the lengthy detailed descriptions as a kind of magical formula, I imagine that maybe they would recite from memory and in a sense conjure the coming events, at least in the hearts and minds of the community. That's the thing with this Apocalyptic stuff it's very inspiring, but look at the outcomes!
The new quantum workforce will have a chance to see much related to this
You know it was his misstress who told him to change it to "war and peace"
@@stehfreejesseah7893 Ha! "Vat is dat awful beeping noise?"
War is a money spinner always has been always will be and why they always want war and will always mock peacemakers.
@Jason I tend to agree.
But I also see it at work everywhere at varying scales. It is in the sweet prayers that parents say with their children every night before bed. It is in the stories we tell ourselves about our governments and economies. And everything in between. And the more there is at stake, the more power the messages are infused with, the more we "believe" them in spite of the evidence.
This isn't just something religious weirdos did 2000 years ago.
We all do it every day.
It would be so cool if someone decided to animate the scrolls for a wider audience
Yea
we should be getting AWAY from this idea. MORE visual stimulation = less cognitive ability.
Love the video as usual, Dr. Sledge. Would you ever do a video on Zoroastrian influence on Second Temple era Judaism and Christianity? Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this great video, the best explicit explanation. You're the only one who goes into specifics & details, I was looking for.
Justin, very interesting video once again. I had a good giggle at the end. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
I give a metaphoric interpretation to the War Scroll as a Gnostic theme: representing inner spiritual transformation over the human nature of the Kittims. Followers are witnessing daily and experiencing the triumph of evil people and deeds over good people and actions, and this War Scroll tells them that sure they succeed now, but eventually good spiritual divine transformation will eventually and always triumph.
@@joshsimpson10 Good and evil are subjective in the sense how the event or person affects you, either in the immediate or long term. In Gnostic terms, the long term affect is the Union, Bedroom Chamber, with the Divine.
@@joshsimpson10 You do not understand what I am stating. Have you read any of Joseph Campbell works on Mythology and religions?
@@joshsimpson10 Mystery religions are those about the individual changing: something is read, said; something is seen (symbol); and something is done. All for the purpose of the person transforming the old self into a newer self. The experience is outside the brain's thought making process (words, ideas, beliefs, values etc.), and is another process, Paul calls it the Third Heaven. One does not know what happens in this other state, but only sees the impact of the changes to one's neural patterns and actions. Mythology is the reader, listener going through these changes. The stories about him and her.
Analogous to the essential Hindu scripture The Bhagavad Gita which is a spiritual response to Life's problems, all presented on a huge battlefield that is mythical in proportion, but instructive to all sincere truth seekers.
@@marktwain368 Yes, and remember, it was until Newton that humans realized that forces are universal, the same everywhere, for example gravity uses the same formula but different inputs as to the mass. So, Ancient writers had no understanding of force and because everything is local and what is more local than a human being. So, all these forces and concepts took on body forms as for example, they did not know the origin and causes of wind! People always love answers, even if they are wrong. They want rigid ideas as answers!

Thank you! wonderfull stuff!
This was fascinating. I got into a Deep Dive into the Canaanite mythology after- I found a connection between Yam and Yahweh,. which made me wonder about "His Spirit moved upon the Waters".
There are several verses throughout the Hebrew scriptures where Yahweh is praised for defeating and 'rebuking' the waters and keeping them from destroying the world.
Did you learn about Yam on Ançient mystery channel? I just watched that earlier! Lol u remember what Jesus was asleep in the boat and they had to wake him up to calm the sea? Everybody gets so excited and he's like, damn you woke me up for this...
There always have been many gods, every spiritual being is by definition a god, the word 'god' simply means 'spiritual being'. Monotheism is not the notion of only knowing a single god, but is the exclusive worship of that one god who is most high.
The ancient 'gods' of the earliest Babylonian and Semitic religions are based on physical beings, they are not proper gods. They tend to be similar in appearance across cultures. Giants with pale skin, blue eyes and white/blonde hair, come from the sky, bring technology and knowledge, wage war and blow shit up, and now are all washed away from the surface of the earth.
The old 'gods' are basically momento mori of the Nephilim, an ante-deluvian world lost in time but the memory has survived the waters and developed from there into several religions. Much knowledge has been lost due to calamity, but basic things like language and writing were preserved and used to preserve what little knowledge they still had.
Mind yourself, the best of pyramids are the old pyramids, because they were built by a different culture, a different people. The best of Inca cities are the old cities, because they were built by a different culture, a different people. All over the world there are echoes of a great flood, and of gods and giants, and then history came into being with its recordings of legends and stories passed on for centuries through storytelling, theatre, song and dance, imagery and sculpting, through every form of artistic expression possible.
As such try to read between the lines, there is something more real behind every story if you can separate tradition from truth.

Thats one thing that's fascinating to me. How Baalzebul went from the Lord of Heaven that defeated the Rebel Son Mot. To being a name for the Rebel Son.
My guess the Judaites did it as a FU to the Phonecians. Either way, I think the War is more internal but we will see external manifestation because As Within So Without
Notice the way these myths portray the CONQUERING of the primordials. It's A CLEAR euphemism for the perversion and censorship of mesopotamian era artifacts, concepts, religion, and they were all PROTO religions. PRIMORDIAL occurrences of religion in humankind, relatively speaking, which, these writings IN HEBREW, easily hint at Victor's rights of rewriting the narrative, especially concerning the final convergence from things like mesopotamian hermeticism, zoroastrianism, babylonian pantheism, canaanite monopluralism- to early jewish mysticism from the time of Moses. The Jewish ONCE WORSHIPPED MULTIPLE GODS from the mesopotamian era, then eventually just 3. 1 - Ba'al (Ba'al Hadad turned early jewish mysticism), 2 - Asherah (represents the divine feminine energy, physical creation, the womb of creation and the source of creative expression of the prime emination), and 3 - Yahweh, essentially a God of War and sometimes even associated with storms and thunder like Ba'al Hadad once was. Their prime emination was once called El-Elyon, the sons of El-Elyon took the mantle at the coming of the new age, and thus, the introspections ("children") of El-Elyon and Asherah were the ones debated to have 'fought' each other for the monotheistic top down dominance, essentially an idea of succession from the primordial God of the heavens and the earth El Elyon, to eventually just Asherah, Ba'al, and Yahweh left in proto abrahamic worship, in which there were IDOLS made of all three. Eventually all that would remain after the FINAL convergence to the form of Judaism we pretty much know today, is Yahweh, YHVH, bastardized later into Jehovah JHVH by latinized clerics. So, yes, lots of these battles were actually metaphor for believers fighting each other, and, the writers of history in your case, on the timeline, they were practicing their unchallenged mesopotamian belief one moment, and belief in a single monotheistic God they'd merged all other entities (which the proto-abrahamics once worshipped themselves) into the very next moment.
(Entire comment blinking out, notwithstanding, will attempt reconstruct thoughts in moment):
Previous insightful comments having already responded with on-point observations, I will say that this fascinating journey floored me in that I sat in the audience muted and STUNNED as the patreon credits rolled by on screen. Having come into it with thoughts of the vivid and awe-inspiring visuals from your excellent review of The Dark Song movie in the back of my mind as I dived into this video on the breathtaking epic of the War Scroll. Having been stunned by it, I deeply appreciate the guidance of which viable and attainable sources to avail of for the day to day person, and which are cost prohibitive as you eloquently put it, and which one you wisely noted would take “decades” to study!

I just read the book: JOSEPHUS, THE BIBLE, AND HISTORY by Louis H. Feldman & Gohei Hata. AWESOME!!!! In this great book it states Josephus (Antiquities XIII-XVII) used not only historical Hebrew & Aramaic sources but also Greek writers (Homer, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Nicholas of Damascus, and 55 other Greek historical writers. "Nicholas of Damascus" was a Philosopher & the tutor for Antony & Cleopatras children, also a close friend to Ceasaer Augustus and was King Herod the Greats' chief advisor, travel companion and Herods autobiographical historian. This Nicholas of Damascus also wrote 144 world "universal" history books (in Greek) (Nicolaus' Histories) and The Life of Augustus. His histories are comparable to Histories of Ephorus (the "first" Universal Historian). Josephus used a lot of Nicolaus' continuation histories for Israel. So my point is maybe the real history of the early Qumran Essenes is to be found in Nicolaus' history vs Josephus.
Thank you Dr Sledge ! I like the Gnostic stuff. I like you too, you remind me of my Grandad.
I had to chuckle as Dr. Sledge looks like a kid to me, I guess it's all perspective. 😂🤣
Ha!
I really dig how you approach this subject and your conclusions in the end. So many times that I heard this rhetoric of God saving some one or something at the last moment that never came thrue. It seems to me that problem of misunderstanding lays at the fact that when people try to understand heavenly visions so often they compare them with their own circumstances even though this perticular vision might not be about them or even their time.
thank you.
very good channel sir

Woah…see those are the stories I’ve always been interested in..I was brought up Christian didn’t really stick to me but needless to say these kinds of stories weren’t available to me…I’ve always known stories like this had to exist and I’m just now finding out they do…
Josh from Nazareth..... awesome
This was really interesting, thanks. It reminds me of how many religious leaders have rallied their troops by primising some sort of divine victory, and it's in that vein that I think this falls. A rallying tool.
I learned a lot from this.
Another great video. Ive always found it fascinating how an insult for a layabout bum evolves into a (at least somewhat competent, given how much resistance "he" provided) general in the form of Belial. It is reminiscent of your well done video on Sheol, wherein it evolves into the concept of "hell". There are many other instances throughout esoteric literature where a simple idea or rudimentary belief develops into an elaborate cosmological smorgasbord of theatrical proportions. From your studies, or based on your opinion, are there any instances of this "evolution" being the direct result of a single event or a single moment in time, instead of (at least based on my understanding) slow adaptation to cultural needs over time?
This video was great! Please make one on John's apocalypse (the book of revelation).
Josh from Nazareth. Ok im subscribing this is great stuff.

Nothing says Halloween better than a War against the Sons of Darkness!
In this world every day is full of spirits, every day is full of evil, though not sure if you can get pumpkins the entire year through, but basically its always Halloween on earth.
This until the second coming of Christmas, and he will send out his angels and weed every little thing and all who do Halloween and throw them into fiery pit of eternal destruction...
Halloween is a ritual birthed by the sons of darkness..your energy is harvested with your consent and taking part in it..
The pumkin symbolizes the sun..the event is based on solar worship..the inversion of true teachings has now been weaponised against the people and consumerised to the base level materialist narrcissists which plague our society.
Then it must be Halloween all day every day.... Because the peasant has been battling these psychopathic "sons of darkness" since the dawn of man.
I'm in this video! Djanghost, that's me! Go me!
Bedankt
It's a possibility considering the level of descriptive detail that the writer/s where intending for the minds of the readers to conjure up the story into life.
Why else does one write about a war to the outcome seems already set? 🤔
From my experience the human mind is a very powerful thing shrouded in mystery.
He who is last, shall be first. -Belial
The Children of Light, and the Children of Darkness.
"I once was blind, and now I see"
The Blind leading the Blind.
The real enemy is ignorance and indifference about each other and our stories, lore, and family/communities' higher stories.
Bedecked…..I’m going to use this alot
dutch bedekken ; to cover up
Cool.
It is a little...idk if ironic is the right word, but its certainly academically interesting, that EVEN on a video detailing the various changes and historical, human contexts that formed these texts; that you still have modern day people who believe that is this a 100% literal prophecy.
And that despite the many people who likely thought it was all about them, that it applies to THEIR specific moment in time somehow.
i do appreciate the opportunity to pay for something free and it was a good video. thankyou.
@18:00 perhaps that is an allegory for mid life crisis or things like that. i had some weird ish start when i was 37 and has continued nonstop to now. (42) could definitely see how an internal war within the mind could be manufactured to appear like an external war
Furthermore, perhaps voluntary baptism was garnered from that @18:26
Basically baptized into the lords army which is something you hear very often in the christian community
Wonder why Israel forces their peeps to join the military if there was a declaration such as that in within torah
I just ran into your channel and well the war scroll is there anyway to see images about the symbols and banners of both factions?
I tuned in to check out how you pronounce Belial. The 1st time I read it, many, many years ago--I said Be-'lie' al. Like mine better...and yes I grew up with Phonics in a structured catholic institution. (like that means anything)
