In the latter years of the second temple in Jerusalem, the atmosphere was rich with apocalyptic eschatology. As a result, several people emerged contending to be the messiah. In this talk, David examines the actions and impact of some of these contenders, with a particular focus on:
- Jesus,
- Bar Kokhba.
David also discusses factors contributing to this time of heightened messianic expectation and presentation, including:
- The welding of the pre-exilic ‘ideal ruler’ of Davidic descent with eschatological anticipations,
- The idea of the anointed one,
- The warrior spirit of redemption and the inspiration of the Maccabees in the past,
- The revival of Hebrew,
- The Dead Sea Scrolls,
- The promise of the prophets and the reality of Roman occupation.
David also explores two types of messianic figures presented in Jewish literature - Ben Yosef and Ben David.
This talk is the second of a four-part series presented for Caulfield Shule in 2021as part of its scholar-in-residence program. Due to COVID lockdown restrictions in Melbourne at the time, it was filmed in David's home. Other episodes from the series can be found here:
