The Job Description of the Messiah–Has Anyone Ever Done Any of These Things?

Did you realize there are ONLY ten passages in the Hebrew Bible that predict his arrival and what he is supposed to do.  The title to this post is not cynical….it is meant to be quite straight forward and direct?   Christian and Muslims believe Jesus is THE Messiah of…

My Youtube Series on Interpretations of “Bible Prophecy” Is Drawing Great Interest!

I began a new series on Youtube dealing with interpretations of Bible prophecy from ancient to modern times–a kind of history and analysis of “apocalyptic” dreams and schemes through the ages. We are up to episode seven–and I did five segments on the most influential book of all in this…

Tracking The First Messiah–Yes, Before Jesus!

In this 2nd in my new Youtube series on “Bible Prophecy Through the Ages.” I take a look at the First Messiah in Jewish history–the Messiah BEFORE Jesus, who flourished in the late 2nd Temple period–100 years before Jesus and his movement. We don’t even know the name of this…

Try Reading the “Gospel of Q” based on Luke

Those who have done a bit of academic reading about our New Testament gospels have come across the idea of what is most often referred to as the “Q Source.” Over the years I have found that despite lots of discussion about the hypothesis few have in fact sat down…

What the Bible Really Says About the Future?

The title of this video is purposely AUDACIOUS…since no respectable academic would ever speak of “What the Bible Really Says” about anything, since the Bible says all kinds of things about everything. And I would like to be considered such… However, the title is not mine–but the brilliant historian of…

Blast From the Past: The Seasoned Wisdom of the “Dom”

Did the “Essenes” Write the Dead Sea Scrolls?

The short answer is “It’s Complicated.” So much depends on what one means by “Essene” and what sources have gone into this or that use of the term–whether ancient or modern. In this interview with YouTube host Neal Sendlack (@GnosticInformant), we explore the core issues and many others related thereto,…
