Thank you Dr. Baruch for your awesome teachings!!! THE HOLY SPIRIT guided me to your teachings. your teachings have given me a clear understanding of THE WORD. Again, Thank you so very much !!!
Yes, I also discovered this chanal just a week ago (although I visit RUclips for years and looking for these bible teachings) and dr. Baruch is such a blessed teacher.
Thank you, Dr. Baruch, for this clear expository on Daniel 8 & 9. I can see & hear what you are explaining and I thank GOD for you in my prayers. I praise GOD ALMIGHTY for HIS WORD and HIS SPIRIT of WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING, for relaying to HIS children what lies in the future.
I want very much to contact Dr. Baruch Korman. I wish I could meet him and talk to him,or at least write him knowing that he would read my letter. He is very knowledgeable and I want to learn all I can from him.
Thank you for your series on Daniel, Rabbi Korman. I like the idea of Jews returning to their ancestral homeland, and that the Israelis have revived Hebrew, and that they have loyalty to their heritage, like the legacy of the prophets.With that in mind, I want to comment critically about the modern Israeli situation and the theology involved. At 10:20, you say that: "Many people misuse what Daniel says. Daniel's going to to tell us that because Israel was disobedient to the Word of God, Israel went into exile. And there's many people who are replacement theologians who subscribe to Reformed Theology who deny prophecy and prophetic indicators to form the basis of their beliefs. [They] paraphrase Daniel to people and they say 'You know Daniel's prayer that because Israel was disobedient that they were cast off from the land and we know today that Israel is disobedient, therefore they have no right to the land.' They ignore what God is saying here through Daniel's prayer. Yes, that's true disobedience brought the people into exile, but Daniel's prayer is about... the fact that the 70 years of Exile are coming to an end and God is going to bring the people back to the land for a messianic purpose. What is that Messianic purpose? That Messiah would be born. Likewise in the last days, God is going to bring the people back to the land, and he's doing that. Beginning in 1947, there was a great return back to the land by Jewish people, and that's happening today more and more unto the extent that over half the Jewish people in the world have returned back to Israel. That is prophetic... We should be excited. Soon the heavens are going to open up and we will see Messiah." One critique is that whether we subscribe to a Replacement Theology whereby the Mosaic Torah is no longer in force with its ritual, theological and moral demands and national blessings, or whether we subscribe to a theology of the Mosaic Torah remaining in force, the issue of the people's "obedience", or its theology, spirituality, and morality would still apply to the Israeli land situation. Under the Torah, Israel's possession of the land is conditional on its observance of Torah. God promised possession of the land, and the Israelites conquered and controlled it, but I am not sure that it's correct to use the concept of an unconditional land "right," because it reminds me of modern Western property law. You correctly noted that in the Bible, "disobedience brought the people into exile." Bases for the Babylonian Exile included "oppressing the stranger," disregarding the 7 year cycle, and disregarding the Jubilee demand to free the Israelite slaves. Under the Torah's reasoning, it makes sense that the Israelites would still be evaluated whether they were in possession of the land, in exile, or being brought back to the land. On one hand, you rightly said that God brought the 70 year Exile to an end as He promised to Jeremiah, and He had a messianic purpose. On the other hand, it makes sense that their continued habitation of the land would be dependent on their observance of Torah, theology, morality, etc. Next, I feel sympathetic when you say that in the last days, God will bring the people back to the land. I think that half of the world's Jews have do not currently live in the Israeli State, but it's a comparable number and a realistic future possibility. I find it exciting when there is so much immigration, revival of Hebrew, interest in ancient Israelite archaeology and preserving the heritage of the prophets and forefathers. However, closer examition from a Biblical perspective shows that this excitement and support can't necessarily be unconditional for the resulting state system and its policies. I also have a hard time seeing an ingathering or its governorship as always necessarily and unconditionally prophetic in a positive way. First, in the time of Yeshua and the Nazarenes in the mid-1st century, the rabbinical establishment did have a Sanhedrin with some governing powers. The establishment was in conflict with Yeshua and the Nazarenes. In his "Antiquities," Josephus recorded how the elders stoned James when the Roman governor was away in the early 60's AD. Origen thought that Josephus considered James' killing to be a factor in the Second Temple's destruction. The Jewish rebels against Rome of 67-70 AD controlled Jerusalem, yet the Romans conquered them and tragically destroyed the Second Temple. Then in the 130's AD, the false Messiah Bar Kohkba led another rebellion that even minted its own coins for several years. In 614, the rabbinical community allied with the Persian conquerors of Jerusalem and performed the Mamilla massacre of Christians. In these historical cases, the rabbinical community had limited or full control of Jerusalem, yet it's hard to give their rule full or uncritical support from the perspective of loyalty to Yeshua and the Nazarenes. Even the heroic Maccabees who brought us Hanukkah and drove out Antiochus' idolatry had downsides: They exiled Onias' legitimate priestly dynasty and they didn't invite the surviving Davidic line of princes to participate in rulership. If I recall correctly, the rabbinical establishment takes a somewhat critical view of the Maccabees, and so it didn't pass down the Maccabean Books. Second, the Israeli State defines itself as a Jewish State, and its immigration law grants Aliyah to relatives of Jews. To be clear, it's appealing that the State provides an opportunity for Jews around the world to immigrate. However, the state's immigration law on Aliyah explicitly defines Jews as those who have not converted to another religion. Israeli immigration jurisprudence unfortunately counts Christianity as another religion, and its court cases have denied considering Messianic Jews as Jewish. This decision goes along with an unfortunate common mistaken idea among the rabbinical community in surveys that one cannot consider Jesus to be the Messiah and still be Jewish. This misconception actually contradicts Halakhic law on the issue, which dictates that even a Jew who apostasizes still remains a Jew. So it's hard from the perspective of loyalty to Yeshua to support the way that the State defines itself and the State's stance, policy, and treatment of those who do not meet its criteria for belonging to the rabbinical community.
