Jonathan may need help from the Spartans that's why he insisted that they are ābrothersā in
Godās eyes.
ā¢ Need: military help, resources.
ā¢ Grounding: dynasty
Modern Example: Radio show example: Abraham the father of three religions. *refer to the
slides to listen to the recording
Why would someone in the 21st century in NYC would talk about Abraham as being the father
of 3 religions?
ā¢ Attempt to promote peace. Maybe it was after 9/11, it helps to counter racism, and
religious conļ¬icts.
Ancestors establish proper bloodline - the right authority, and the natural order.
Itās like Hamlet with a happy ending.
If your ancestors are special or divine, then you can be special.
āSo Called Jewā is an insult.
Google: Who are the real Jews.
Conclusion: We are the proper ājewsā and the real jews are a threat.
Where did the idea of ancestors relate to Noah? - canaanite are no good mix or are not really
Jews because they come from odd ancestors.
For example, when Lot daughters made him drunk and had sex with him so they can preserve
their descendants. People do not consider as normal Jews (because incest) but they are called
the canaanites.
-Messiah means anointed with something. Messiah becomes someone who turns around the U,
someone you wait for.
-Dead sea scrolls: different ideas of the Messiah come up
-King David: songs attributed to him and were sung by many Jews. He was a good worshiper.
He has a special status that many people are suppose to identify with. He represents ideal
relationship with God, he represents the people.
ā> In one of the songs God says, you are my son. It sets him a part from other people and you
can trace his lineage back to Adam and Eve who had a special connection with God. If you have
a divine connection, you are special.
-King Melchizedek of Salem blessed Abraham, the idea that he wants the children of Abraham
to settle in Sodom.
-For many Jews, the king has religious and general authority. For example, the king
Melchizedek is a prince and a king.
-Prophets: they are expected to speak to God to send a message.They had a relationship with
the king. Prophets being tortured and killed because they were expected to speak the truth to
the kings, to the leaders and sometimes when they did that, they sawed you in half. Prophets
were used to predict things in the future.
-The ļ¬rst Christians are sitting, talking and thinking while discovering things about Jesus in the
old testament (Hebrew bible). This becomes the standard operating procedure to ļ¬gure out
what just happened (look back at the scriptures). The idea is that these stories and songs are
about Jesus.
-Stories about Jesus: Eliza and John the Baptist, the binding of Isaac
-Whoās a priest after the order of Melchizedek ? Jesus is because there is a connection to bread
and wine. He is a priest and a king. No genealogy given so he is special somehow.
-The idea of Jesus being a king created tension between him and the Kings
-If you think your father is a God then you have a connection to legitimate heritage
-Ideas of leaders evolve and sometimes this evolution is dramatic
-Leaders are often called servants, slaves or helpers in the old testament
