Kipp Davis - Jewish Apocalypticism
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- My guest today is Dr Kipp Davis. . Kipp is a biblical scholar and an expert in early Jewish literature and history, with a focus on the Dead Sea Scrolls. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Manchester (2009), has held several professional academic appointments in Europe and North America, and has published widely on the topics related to the Bible, its creation, development and transmission in the Second Temple period. His work on manuscript forgeries in private collections and best practices for provenance research and conservation has been widely publicised in academic venues as well as in mainstream media. He presently works as a public facing scholar, and runs a UA-cam channel where he regularly features videos and lectures promoting quality scholarship of the Bible.
Today I’ll be talking to Kipp about Jewish apocalyptic thought, apocalyptic writings and the relevance of these to an understanding of the historical Jesus.

I had so much fun. Thank you, Tim, for the kind invitation, and the very stimulating conversation.
A pleasure, mate.👍
Whewwwww! Thought you said someone called Tim Bart Ehrman with Tits
Wish this kind of information and conversations with academically qualified individuals was so much more readily available decades ago. Only grateful now for better late than never considerations. Subscribed.
Oh, wow. I'd forgotten all about this channel. Love Kipp; he's a great 'get' for an interview, on this topic particularly. Really interested to see this!
Thank you.
He reads early Hebrew so we didn't have to.
Hopefully this will be the first time Purple Pill Philosophy get to know about this magnificent man, thanks for having him here Tim! (Glad to know you still haven't left)
Thanks for the mention! But no, not the first time, I've known about this guy for almost a couple years now (he has me blocked me on Twitter). Far from "magnificent" but he's somewhat personable in this discussion (Tim's guests usually are). Elsewhere, he's anything but.
This was very enjoyable, informative, and stimulating. It's great to hear a real conversation, with the two participants playing off of each other and making new connections.
What a haven of sanity. Thank you both very much. I hope you get on Dr. Kipp Davis not just once more but on a regular basis.
I would have loved to know this stuff when I was doing my degree. This has filled in so many blanks. Thank you again Dr Kipp.
Kipp is my favorite. Very smart.
It's always really cool when two different content creators I follow team up. Great stuff
came over from paulogia subbed
Kipp at his best! Thanks mate, brilliant interview
Thank you both.
6:12 .. i think *DiTommaso* is pronounced *dee toh mah soh* ... and it's from an essay titled *_the apocalyptic other_* published in a collection of essays by different authors in 2011 ...
👏🏾👏🏾💙 great episode.
The audio here is 😘👌
Great conversation. Jewish apocalypticism of the time period makes sense of Jesus and the rise of Christianity. As the religious millieu of the ANE and the Canaanite pantheon, the Baaal cycle and the enuma elish + epic of gilgamesh make sense of the rise of YHWH worship and Hebrew Bible mythmaking, and as the search for a better theodicy than blessings for good behavior/curses for bad behavior led to the rise of apocalypticism during the Babylonian captivity as Israelites were exposed to Babylonian and Persian religions and cosmologies while they searched for an answer to why God's Chosen People kept getting conquered, made captive and/or occupied. . .
3:30 what is he saying--there is a group of manuscripts called the apocrypha of Jeremiah which is an apocalyptic text?

They have the power of The Scrolls...
I always think of Handel's Messiah when that prophecy from Isaiah is mentioned.
Which I guess makes me a Christian in interpretation.
HOW does this have So FEW Views & Likes.?!
Hello, is there a way I can send you a video with an interpretation of Mark 13 to get your opinion on it? It's not an atheistic interpretation, but I would really like to hear your thoughts.
Not interested.
*Jesus is clearly speaking to the disciples and gives a timeframe for when the Son of Man would come.*
"Jesus sent these twelve out, charging them, saying: Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not go into a Samaritan city. *But rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.* And going on, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of Heaven has drawn near" (Matthew 10:5-7)
“Truly I say to you, ***you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes”*** (Matthew 10:23);
For the *Son of man* shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; ***and then he shall reward every man according to his works.***
Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here will not taste death*** before they see the *Son of Man* coming in his kingdom (Matthew 16:27-28)
Truly I tell you, ***some who are standing here*** will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God (Luke 9:27)
Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened (Mark 13:30)
*He says that the coming of the Son of Man will be accompanied by:*
The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.
Then will appear the sign of the *Son of Man* in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the *Son of Man* coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened (Matthew 24:29-34)
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time they will see the *Son of Man* coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near. When you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near.
Truly I tell you, ***this generation will certainly not pass away*** until all these things have happened (Luke 21:25-32)
He also falsely prophesied to the high priest, the Sanhedrin and Nathaniel.
*Jesus falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin*
Jesus also falsely prophesied to the high priest and the Sanhedrin (assemblies of either twenty-three or seventy-one rabbis appointed to sit as a tribunal)
You will see the *Son of Man* sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and ***coming on the clouds of heaven*** (Matthew 26:64) (Mark 14:62)
Except the high priest and the Sanhedrin never saw Jesus sitting at the right hand side of God, or coming on the clouds of heaven, or any such thing.
*Jesus falsely prophesied to Nathaniel*
Jesus also falsely prophesied to Nathaniel when he declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
Jesus said, You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that. He then added, ***“Very truly I tell you, you will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man*** (John 1:50-51)
*Nathaniel never saw any such thing. Neither did anyone else.*

Since the gospels are wholesale fiction, you cannot support any argument about actual events from them. There is no evidence there were any disciples.
@@sciptick That's not the point of the post. The point of the post is to show that *according to the Bible,* Jesus was a failed apocalyptic preacher.
Wow colorado wow rebecca wow
Good discussion. One issue is the assumed explanation for apocalyptism is being a response to the Problem of Evil. That's one way to explain it but wasn't apocalyptic literature already popular in Babylon?
Yes, but from the Gutian dynasties only.
Almost all the problems in religion have to do with improper interpretation of what has been written.
Kipp Davis is the bomb. Like, all the bombs: nuclear, hydrogen, atomic. And the lesser bombs like car and grenades. But mostly truth and love bombs.🥰🥰🥰
Since atheists dont have spirit, what animates you?
The same things as most people: family, friends, work, hobbies, books, interests. We don't need gods to make our lives rich and meaningful. If your life is so miserable it would have no meaning at all without some belief in God then I feel very sorry for you.
@@historyforatheists9363 i didnt mean it that way. What makes you breath and think and all that. Either way its a miracle, right?
@@historyforatheists9363 what does the authors, film makers and artists you admire think about these things. Whats the difference between common consumers and creative persons?
@@RealUvane No. No God required. Please take your preaching elsewhere.
@@historyforatheists9363 did i mention god? Im talking about spirit that drives us to do things. Its a psychological thing. Like when an author doesn’t have the spirit he has writers block. Then he usually develops personal rituals to invoke it. Like smoking sigarets, drinking coffee or whatever. This is totally normal.
They were even altering Joshua after Josephus! ua-cam.com/video/ZEEhqRxfFck/v-deo.html
Kipp does realize scholars have pre filtered teachings and not necessarily truths.
The great Hendrix would say No Experience LMAO
