Thank you so much for this series of wonderful lectures. You have a real gift for explanation and presentation - I hope your children appreciate what a great Dad you must have been!!. I’m not religious, but I’ve always been fascinated by what other groups believe and the history and culture that informs all of this complicated nexus. Thanks again for such an open and honest presentation.
Good video! 9:25 why do you think everybody was expecting them Messiah from Josephus to the cumron community? Could it be that everybody knew about Daniel's 70 weeks? Daniel 9;24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and on your holy city, to put an end to the transgression, and to make an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place.

The Masoretes according to research were not around during the time of the "Essenes", or rather qumran community, so I assume you mean they were in accord with the Masoretic way of expounding on the principles of the TaNaKh, though they were more in line with Sadduces(Hellenistic) in relation to resurrection of the body, than the Pharisees who did believe in the ressurection of the body. I'm aware they were a close knit community, who seperated themselves from common life in their era. I don't recall them being associated with, or aware of christianity, they would of course have been aware of the Annointing of Hebrew kings, as that is a part of earlier Hebrew history. Lehitraot.
The sadducees were helenistic? Didn't the Greeks believe in a shadow world and souls, while the sadducees rejected anything transcendental like souls, including even angels?
5:50 the sons of Light ... Sons of darkness ... Obsession with purity ... Seekers of smooth things ... Dressed mostly in white. Very much Mandean to me. Aramaic Gnostic?
@@HenryAbramsonPhD appreciate your feedback. There's plenty of parallels and they've been appreciative of the books of Enoch too. There's definately something proto-gnostic going on, especially looking at the mandeans too. But if you don't know, I too will reserve the right to be confused for now.
Shalom in Jesus Christ. Dr Bergsama from Franciscan Univ. In Chicago has more and v.interesting connections to John the BAptist that make or plenty of passages of Jesus's sayings esp. in John's gospel and on celibacy. He does not point v.much to also a military aspect as R.Eisenman does though he makes some fancy interpretation on St.Paul contra James (for him the mentioned Teacher of Righteousness) made on some apocryphal. Archeology reveals tombs with just men-a proof of celibate monks community and the remnants of the battle (with Romans)

Good video!

I used to kid my parents of having learned to read with the Dead Sea Scrolls. They were not amused.
Also will you make a lecture on the book of Enoch?
Probably not.
@@HenryAbramsonPhD Why?

Welcome!
Eisenman lectures is a good way to wait. 😎
Not sure what you mean.

Lehitraot.
Correct.
The sadducees were helenistic? Didn't the Greeks believe in a shadow world and souls, while the sadducees rejected anything transcendental like souls, including even angels?
...So your saying that the Hebrew Bible, took about five hundred years, to canonize, after the the last events, in the Tanakh?....
5:50 the sons of Light ... Sons of darkness ... Obsession with purity ... Seekers of smooth things ... Dressed mostly in white.
Very much Mandean to me. Aramaic Gnostic?
Dunno.

@@HenryAbramsonPhD where would you look for answers?
Ethiopian Jews also dressed in white and were very concerned with purity, I wonder if there's a connection
Maybe?
There definitely is a connection if you take the modern Ethiopian Christian canon into account. The Book of Enoch.
@@Noswiatel Ethiopian Jews also have the book of Enoch
@@zmail8566 That's really good to know. Thanks for the information.
The rise of the rabbis ? We existed without them ? Yay
Mike, you are a card.
But I'm processing what you say ...
It was a Sect, of the black Jews, from, the Tribe of Levi. They were taken, to Heaven, at the Return of Yakah, in the first century, 70CE.

The History, of the Israelis, is very Recent. The history, of the black Jews, is much longer, and closely, connected, to the Bible.
