Exposing Afterlife & Kingdom Myths With Historical Evidence

Join Christopher Enoch as he analyzes popular Christian teachings on heaven, the afterlife, and the Kingdom of God using historical Jewish manuscripts, Second Temple context, and textual exegesis. In this stream, Christopher evaluates differing Jewish traditions regarding Olam Haba (the world to come), the contrast between Rabbinic literalism and spiritual interpretations (Philo, Rambam, Ramban), and what Jesus specifically declared about the present reality of His Kingdom in Luke and John.
