Zechariah Beliefs
February 15th, 519 B.C. That is when Zechariah says he received these night visions. Persian power was at its peak under Darius Hystaspes, and peace reigned throughout the ancient world. God, however, was not content. Judah had recently returned from Babylonian captivity, but she continued to fall into sin. In a single evening, God revealed to Zechariah His plans to correct Judah and restore her to the glorified state. Even greater than this local meaning are the allusions to Christ and His kingdom, where God’s full glory and peace may be

    Studies of Religion 1 Judaism Band 6 Responses

    Rabbi Abraham Isaac Hacohen Kook, also known as Rav Kook, has made contributions to the development and expression of the Jewish religion that were of absolute importance. He was born on September 8, 1865, in Griva, Latvia and died on September 1, 1935 in Jerusalem. In his time, he was the first Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi, founder of Religious Zionism and a renowned Torah scholar. Rav Kook was responsible for the term “Religious Zionism”, a divine scheme that established the state of Israel on strict Halakick grounds. He has envisaged Eretz Israel, the land promised to God’s people, as the “foundation upon which rests the throne of God in this world.” He saw it as a model state, existing on ethically pure conduct and policies, to serve as a “light for all nations.” He also developed the philosophies which formed the basis of Modern Orthodox Judaism. This enables Orthodox Jews to live a religious life in the secular world through the integration of traditional observance and values with tose of the secular world. This was done in 1924, when he set up the Mercaz Harev Kook Yeshiva in Jerusalem as a vessel for the implementation and promotion of both Religious Zionism and Modern Orthodoxy; it was also to train future rabbis. His writings were largely unpublished before his death, but they have since been distributed and studied. His contributions were so profound thus making him known as one of the most influential rabbis of the 20th century.…

    Zera Yacob's Contradictions

    Zera Yacob had a culture entirely theological, where he earned respect for his intellectual capacities, and went on to pursue the traditional Ethiopian theological education. Zera Yacob mastered Coptic theology and Catholic theology, and he had extensive knowledge of Jewish, Catholic, and Islamic religions. His spiritual vade mecum was David’s Book of Psalms, in which he sought comfort and inspiration. Knowing two Christian interpretations of the Bible, as well as the two other Abrahamic religions, and being able to see the contradictions between them, Zera Yacob is led to refuse the authority of the Ethiopian tradition and of any tradition in general. He comes to think that tradition is infested by lies, because men, in their own ignorance,…

Known to many in ancient Egyptian history Imhotep (pronounced im-HO-tep) meaning “He Who Comes In Peace” was said to be related or linked to the Gods with his skill in medicine, attention to detail in architecture, and political standing in the Djoser’s court. His statue shows his bald as a priest with a piece of parchment in his hands. With so many titles to his name, many find themselves asking “who is Imhotep?”.
