Did the Great Tribulation freak you out as a kid? Or maybe it still does. Did Yeshua talk to his disciples like they'd go through it? Does the ancient prophecy of Jeremiah signal hope or doom? And why does Hebrew compare the Great Tribulation to...polygamy? Regardless of your views, this conversation will give you some new information and make you think again. This is a takeaway from my newest Mishnah Snapshots study. We also talked about these questions: ~Did the Sadducees plagiarize their story from the Mishnah? ~What are the different Hebrew words for the revival of the dead? ~Is your Torah-observance powered by the resurrection? ~Polygamy? The Hebrew term for "fellow-wife" will surprise you. ~Is there evidence the Master expected us to keep keeping Shabbat?

Let's tackle some myths about the Great Tribulation from a Hebraic perspective.

These writings came from the same world as the New Testament, and while they're not Scripture you can definitely hear the voice of your beloved and see reflections of his beautiful face if you look and listen closely. Here's one example of many. This is a takeaway from my newest Mishnah Snapshots study. We also talked about these questions: ~Do you know what the Hebrew word "Pharisee" literally mean? ~Why do Jewish people say their mission is "Tikkun Olam" and where's that in Scripture? ~Are Yeshua's "greatest/least commandments" and "weighty matters of the Law" in Mishnah also? ~What did the sages do with the 'literal six days' and 'conflicting creation accounts' controversies? ~What can the Jewish institution of discipleship teach us about our relationship with the Master? ~How did the centuries-old leadership structure in Israel change around 30 A.D., and why? ~Did you hear about the old Essene named Menachem and his prophecy to boy Herod?
