| Video Discription | John the Baptizer, Jesus, James | Torah observant Messianism #bible #jesus #biblestudy #theology The two most important figures in finding the Historical Jesus that act as book ends to Jesus are arguably John the Baptist and James the Brother of Jesus. The way the new testament writings grudgingly admits their influence and at the same time theologically chips away at their authority and importance as they must reinterpret the events to suit the sacred theological narrative of the emerging organized hierarchical church. The later gospel of John put the words in John's mouth "He must increase and I must decrease" is not a likely confession of the historical John but a confession of the reworking of the narrative of the later gospel writers to tame the gospel of Mark and even earlier inconvenient memories of John's influence. The gospel of Mark points to not only John being a mentor of Jesus in his baptism for the remission of sins but also the one who kick starts his ministry and the inspiration to Jesus going into Galilee and preaching "Repent the kingdom of God is at hand" The silence of the Gospels on the Essenes speaks volumes. There is a mention of the Herodians but the Essenes by the time of Jesus and John may have had several strains/sects and the battle between Herod Antipas and John the Baptist may have been a breaking point. The reworking of John's influence and the reworking of Jame's influence also speaks volumes. John Dominic Crossan : Why did two populist movements, the Baptism movement of John and the Kingdom movement of Jesus, occur in the territories of Herod Antipas in the 20s of that first common-era century? Why then? Why there? A voice cries: “In the desert prepare the Way of Yahweh; Make straight in the Arava a highway for our God (Isa 40:3). https://jamestabor.com/biblical-tamar... As it is written in Isaiah the prophet . . .”the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight” (Mark 1:3). They shall separate from the session of perverse men to go to the wilderness, there to prepare the way of truth, 14 as it is written, “In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God” (Community Rule: 1QS 8:13) Both the group that produced the Dead Sea Scrolls and the John the Baptist/Jesus movement looked upon this verse as their basic “Call” to prepare the Way for the end of the age–which they believed was shortly to unfold. There is something about the desert when it comes to prophetic and revolutionary voices. John the Baptizer, who was possibly a cousin of Jesus, may have had some relation to the community that lived at Qumran. Not long after the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran in 1947, scholars noted the similarities between certain Qumran texts such as the Rule of the Community and the descriptions of John the Baptizer in the New Testament. Some have argued that John the Baptizer belonged to the Qumran community, based on the observations that he followed an ascetic program similar to theirs in the same time period and geographical area near the Dead Sea. We are told in Mark 1:6 that John ate only wild honey and locusts and wore a garment of camel’s hair. We know that these were foods allowed by the Jewish laws enforced at Qumran; moreover, they make the most sense if we assume that John had made the Qumran vow not to receive food or clothing from those outside the group (Rule of the Community 5.16). John the Baptizer and the Qumran community also both used apocalyptic language—images and ideas about the end of the present age in the context of divine judgment. Early in the life of the Qumran community, many of its members had been priests associated with the Jerusalem temple, and John the Baptizer’s father was a temple priest (Luke 1:5-23). Both John and the Qumran community emphasized and used prophetic imagery, especially from the book of Isaiah. Indeed, both interpreted Isa 40:3 in the same way: “A voice cries out, ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord.’” For both, “wilderness” was the place of spiritual preparation. John and the Qumranites both emphasized the need for purification by ritual cleansing in “living water,” and they associated this act with eschatological salvation. Lastly, both John and the Qumranites call unfaithful Jewish groups (for example, the Pharisees) a “brood (or offspring) of vipers.” They also share a strict dualist worldview. BoxoEkFrBUs |
