A Stone Tablet Describing a Resurrected Messiah?
July 11th, 2008
Have you heard about the stone tablet that describes a resurrected Messiah? Some are hailing it as a threat to Christianity. Others see it as a helpful support for historic Christianity. If you would like to hear two very good presentations on this situations, you can listen to two interviews with scholars on Issues, Etc. recently.

I found this “find” (if it’s legitimate) to be quite supportive of the fact that the pre-Messianic rabbincal schools (that is — the schools of rabbinic teaching that existed in the few generations before Messiah’s Incarnation — ie: the schools of Hillel, Shammai, Rav Yochanan, etc) that are brought down in the Midrash, support all of the claims of the Gospels. The sin of the generation that crucified Christ was that the KNEW the truth about Messiah from the teachings of previous generations, but they deliberately disputed and denigrated these teachings. One only needs to study the rabbinic Midrash’im (exegetical studies) attributed to academies that existed 150 years or so before Christ’s Incarnation in order to see that the “path to the Messianic Kingdom” was clearly laid out by the generations that preceded the generation that crucified Christ.
