Book Synopsis The Vision of Gabriel Also Called Hazon Gabriel by : Joseph B Lumpkin

In three days, live, I Gabriel command you 81. prince of the princes, the dung of the rocky crevices The "Gabriel Vision," also known as the "Revelation of Gabriel" or "Hazon Gabriel," refers to a fascinating archaeological artifact discovered in 2007. The stone tablet was discovered by a Bedouin shepherd in the vicinity of the Dead Sea in Jordan. The shepherd reportedly stumbled upon a cave containing several artifacts, including the stone tablet. It is an ancient limestone tablet covered with a mysterious Hebrew script, written in ink. It features the archangel Gabriel at the center of this newly discovered text. The stone tablet was likely part of a larger inscription, containing text written in Hebrew. The so-called Gabriel Stone, a meter (three-foot)-tall tablet said to have been found on the banks of the Dead Sea, features lines of an unknown prophetic text dated as early as the first century BC, at the time of the Second Jewish Temple. This falls in line with the dates suggested for the writing of some of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Remarkably, the stone contains a command from the archangel, Gabriel, to an unnamed Messianic figure (or his decomposing corps) that in three days he will live again.

Book Synopsis Jewish Messiahs in a Christian Empire by : Martha Himmelfarb
Download or read book Jewish Messiahs in a Christian Empire written by Martha Himmelfarb. This book was released on 2017-02-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventh-century CE Hebrew work Sefer Zerubbabel (Book of Zerubbabel), composed during the period of conflict between Persia and the Byzantine Empire for control over Palestine, is the first full-fledged messianic narrative in Jewish literature. Martha Himmelfarb offers a comprehensive analysis of this rich but understudied text, illuminating its distinctive literary features and the complex milieu from which it arose. Sefer Zerubbabel presents itself as an angelic revelation of the end of times to Zerubbabel, a biblical leader of the sixth century BCE, and relates a tale of two messiahs who, as Himmelfarb shows, play a major role in later Jewish narratives. The first messiah, a descendant of Joseph, dies in battle at the hands of Armilos, the son of Satan who embodies the Byzantine Empire. He is followed by a messiah descended from David modeled on the suffering servant of Isaiah, who brings him back to life and triumphs over Armilos. The mother of the Davidic messiah also figures in the work as a warrior. Himmelfarb places Sefer Zerubbabel in the dual context of earlier Jewish eschatology and Byzantine Christianity. The role of the messiah’s mother, for example, reflects the Byzantine notion of the Virgin Mary as the protector of Constantinople. On the other hand, Sefer Zerubbabel shares traditions about the messiahs with rabbinic literature. But while the rabbis are ambivalent about these traditions, Sefer Zerubbabel embraces them with enthusiasm.

Book Synopsis Heresy, Forgery, Novelty by : Jonathan Klawans
Download or read book Heresy, Forgery, Novelty written by Jonathan Klawans. This book was released on 2019-09-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly asserted that heresy is a Christian invention that emerged in late antiquity as Christianity distinguished itself from Judaism. Heresy, Forgery, Novelty probes ancient Jewish disputes regarding religious innovation and argues that Christianity's heresiological impulse is in fact indebted to Jewish precedents. In this book, Jonathan Klawans demonstrates that ancient Jewish literature displays a profound unease regarding religious innovation. The historian Josephus condemned religious innovation outright, and later rabbis valorize the antiquity of their traditions. The Dead Sea sectarians spoke occasionally-and perhaps secretly-of a "new covenant," but more frequently masked newer ideas in rhetorics of renewal or recovery. Other ancient Jews engaged in pseudepigraphy-the false attribution of recent works to prophets of old. The flourishing of such religious forgeries further underscores the dangers associated with religious innovation. As Christianity emerged, the discourse surrounding religious novelty shifted dramatically. On the one hand, Christians came to believe that Jesus had inaugurated a "new covenant," replacing what came prior. On the other hand, Christian writers followed their Jewish predecessors in condemning heretics as dangerous innovators, and concealing new works in pseudepigraphic garb. In its open, unabashed embrace of new things, Christianity parts from Judaism. Christianity's heresiological condemnation of novelty, however, displays continuity with prior Jewish traditions. Heresy, Forgery, Novelty reconsiders and offers a new interpretation of the dynamics of the split between Judaism and Christianity.
