I don't want to speak for Dr. Tabor but my assumption is because Isaiah 26:19 specifically states that the "neveilah" (carcass/corpse/body) will rise from the dust. Although, as with most things, there are probably multiple interpretations of what that actually means.

@@cracker3932 Chap. 26. Here the song is of Judah (spring). "Open ye the gates (spring equinox) that the righteous nation (summer) may enter in. In the Lord Jehovah (Jah-Jahveh) is everlasting strength, which supplies all necessaries, both for summer and winter. The Lord inaugurates righteousness, and brings down the lofty ones (the winter constellations begin to set in spring). In the night (winter) I desired the Lord (Jahveh = summer), and now he is come - is here, and I (the Sun) will seek him early (v. 9). The wicked will not learn righteousness, though favored; when the Lord's (Moses') hand is up, they will not see; i.e., when the Sun rises on the spring equinox, the winter constellations are above the horizon, and invisible; but when his hand is down, i.e., after sunset, they rise and become visible. "They shall be ashamed," i.e., shall show themselves. Though other lords (Adonim) have had dominion over us (v. 13), thou, O Lord (Jahveh), wilt now ordain peace (summer) among us. Thou hast destroyed the "cruel lords" (19,4), and increased the nations - winter is passed, summer has come. Thus, in time of trouble, i.e., when the wicked Lord (Adoni) has us, then, Lord (Jahveh), we must seek thee (v. 16). But, O Lord (Jahveh), thou knowest we have been in trouble, in great pain, like as a woman that draweth near her time; yes, Lord, we have travailed in great pain, and yet, who'd have thought it? "we have, as it were, brought forth wind" - the changing monsoon of spring; we haven't wrought any salvation as yet, for vegetation is but just starting (v. 18). Thus, do I explain this hitherto unexplained, ridiculous and obscene passage of holy, or sunny writ! In spring, Nature is renewed; the dead, as it were, come to life, awake and sing; for behold the Lord (Jahveh) cometh - is coming (v. 21).

Nope

@@onejohn2.26. 🤔

I agree. And it makes the most sense when you look at the Orthodox Church and their respect and honor they give to the saints, who played a large part in that.

@AnndenMark So, you think that the 1,000 year reign of Christ has already happened, comma, seriously, or am I totally misunderstanding you?

@@onejohn2.26. Something more happened in those times, that is hidden from us. Something really big. Our history is mostly fabricated. And something really evil is pulling all the strings in our society in current year, and maybe longer. That is what I know. Something also really crazy happened in the 1800s.

Messiah aka Mesiah is two words of Mes (son of) and Iah (Jupiter). The savior comes as spring sun every year. Something like Rameses aka son of Ra (the sun).

which messiah? not just one

It's about whether we should regard Jesus as a 'failed apocalyptic prophet.' Many academic historians think he was. At that period of history, *many* Jews/Jewish sects were forecasting that God would intervene in history to defeat and kick out the Romans and herald a new age of Gods kingdom on earth. An apocalyptic vision. Jesus can be seen as forecasting a real kingdom of God coming imminently, an apocalypse. It didn't. Do we think he was a failed prophet, a failed Messiah, or something else? James also referenced and celebrates the famous Albert Schweitzer who heralded a new era of studying Jesus in a historical manner

No, it's not. It's a lecture on the historical Jesus, not the theological one. Glad if I could be of help.

The dogs are Canis major and Canis minor.

Rome fail ages ago. What rock are you under?

@@Giopowered the Romans are millions of people today. Just because the Roman empire fell, it doesn’t mean there are no Romans today. We don’t call them Roman’s today.

I have no idea what you are even talking about. Tabor tends to lecture on Jesus as Jew, turning people back to God and traditional morals as opposed to Paul who comes up with the blood and sacrifice for the forgiveness of all Sins. Not sure where you are deriving your statements from. I am open to learning though if you are willing to share.

@@clstrat837 I do apologize for the long posts, but there's a reason they were labeled A-b, they go together, as in A-braham. You might want to review Dr. Tabor's blast-from-the-past, because the main ideas are a failed prophecy, and Jesus was just a man that fooled a lot of people. So is it a failed prophecy, or are we still waiting for it to happen? Scholars have assigned a ruler to the 4th kingdom to align the fact that it hasn't happened yet with the notion that it failed, but there is a wrinkle in the narrative they are selling. That being this view doesn't align at all with the text. The signs point to the 4th kingdom coming after the rise of Islam. A major stumbling block for some scholars is they appear to be stuck in the past with the texts they are reading. Consider this, if we read the prophecy in the context of our modern world, then crushing all other nations doesn't necessarily have to imply the use of military means. If a nation/kingdom has enough wealth/power/influence, then it could use the UN to enforce its will and defeat any who oppose it. The point is if prophecy = prediction, then we should stop trying to fit the prediction into a past that can no longer hold it. The two possible views are it will never happen, which is Dr. Tabor's position, and the other is we are still waiting for it to happen, which is mine.

b) The concept that God is responsible for man’s actions is mirrored in Dr. Tabor’s failed prophecy story, which he believes is proven when a man named Paul gets it wrong. Dr. Tabor also misinterprets use of the word “generation” in Mark 13 to further support his narrative. Clearly Mark 13:6 is not suggesting the 12 won’t recognize themselves, and yet this is what Dr. Tabor’s version would require. Could Mark 13:7-8 be referring to Jesus’ generation when the far off events listed are the BEGINNING of birth pains? Mark 13:10 says the Gospel must first be preached to all nations, but Prophet Muhammad would not arrive for another 600 years. Is Dr. Tabor suggesting Abraham and Ismail are not part of this story? There is little doubt that some of the greatest minds have tried to see through these mysteries, and Schweitzer is simply another failed attempt at lifting the veil. To borrow a quote from Bob Dylan, when the Gospel describes nonbelievers as having eye’s without seeing and ear’s without hearing, it appears IMO to be “right on target, so direct”. A cautionary note on interpreting prophecy, 2-out-of-3 might be close, but no cigar! Hitler couldn’t have possibly been the one because eventhcugh he turned man’s world order on its head, the prophecy is referring to a time when God’s order gets turned on its head. As a man dealing in human conflict, Hitler was right where he belonged. Imagine the antichrist elected as Pope, changing the message of religion from hope to one of desolation and despair. That is what the Gospel is referring to when it talks about an abomination standing where it does not belong. I wouldn’t believe anyone who claims to have it all worked out, but the one thing I am certain of is that the time described in Mark 13 hasn’t happened yet. The only thing we can say is that we do appear to have inched closer to it over the last couple millennia, and all the signs can be linked to the rise of Islam where the Kaaba and shrine on Mount Moriah are central features. So unless Dr. Tabor can explain how Schweitzer’s shadow accounts for the story of Muhammad, then at this point in the match it looks like Jesus won, Schweitzer zero.

You are. Maybe you don't understand. Making random accusations that he's somehow "missed the most important lesson" without providing any reasoning as to why does nothing to add to the conversation. Please present your research as to why he's missed the most important lesson. Perhaps your findings can enlighten us all.

@@cracker3932 , Jesus is God . He came in the flesh to save us . Jesus changed everything! He continues to change this fallen world , in His good time.
