Did Paul invent the claim that Jesus rose “according to the Scriptures”? Here are the Old Testament texts early Christians believed pointed to the Messiah’s resurrection: Hosea 6, Psalm 16, Isaiah 53, and Psalm 22. In this episode, we break down four passages that early interpreters read as resurrection prophecy. We also address the objection that Jews didn't universally believe in resurrection — true of the Sadducees, but not the Pharisees, whose theology became the dominant Orthodox Jewish view after 70 AD and the fall of the Second Temple. This isn't reading Christianity backward into the text — it's the same interpretive lens the earliest Jewish followers of Jesus already had. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Did the Hebrew Bible Predict the Resurrection? 01:26 – The “Third Day” Mystery in Hosea 6 02:44 – Psalm 16 & Peter’s Pentecost Argument 03:18 – The Resurrected Servant in Isaiah 53 & Psalm 22 04:34 – Did First-Century Jews Believe in Resurrection? 05:32 – Did Jesus Fulfill the Messianic Blueprint? ________________ 🛒 My research tools and sources (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/kristadams * As an Amazon Associate, I may earn from qualifying purchases. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep biblical insights and Christian content. #BibleProphecy #Isaiah53 #Psalm22 #Resurrection #ChristianApologetics #MessianicProphecy #OldTestament #BibleStudy #Apologetics #JesusInTheOT
The “Third Day” Prophecy: Did Early Christians Invent It?
Is the Jesus you picture in your head actually the Jesus of Scripture — or a softened, 21st-century version built for comfort rather than truth? In this episode, we put the "therapist Jesus" — the endlessly gentle, non-confrontational, feelings-first figure so many of us were handed — up against the first-century Jewish prophet the New Testament actually describes. We break down the clichés Christians repeat as if they were Scripture (like "God won't give you more than you can handle") and trace them back to their real origins — origins that are nowhere in the Bible. Using historical and biblical context — not modern assumption — we examine what Jesus actually taught, why the sanitized version took hold in the modern church, and what recovering the real portrait costs us in comfort and gains us in truth. If you've ever sensed a gap between the Jesus of pop culture and the Jesus of the Gospels, this is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more deep-rooted biblical and historical commentary that challenges modern assumptions with the truth. ________________ Watch Next: Why Did God Forbid Boiling a Goat in Its Mother's Milk?

The Disruptive Jesus They Don't Want You To Know
Did Judaism actually evangelize Gentiles before the time of Jesus, and how did the Great Commission fundamentally change the direction of global outreach? We’re diving deep into biblical history and the scriptures to uncover the fascinating history of Second Temple Jewish proselytizing. We’re looking at the role of the Septuagint in spreading Judaism across the world, ancient historians, how the Council of Jerusalem changed everything, and the three pivotal events that changed everything for evangelistic Judaism. Discover how Christ took Israel’s ancient prophetic calling to be a "light to the Gentiles" and turned it into an explicit, outward command to carry the Gospel to every nation. Liked this?

Israel Was a Light to the Gentiles—Long Before Jesus
Is Jesus Christ buried in a small rural village in northern Japan? In Aomori Prefecture sits Shingo Village—a community that maintains two burial mounds marked by massive wooden crosses. According to local legend, Jesus escaped crucifixion in Jerusalem, fled across Asia, married a local woman, and lived to be 106 years old. In this episode, we investigate where this bizarre legend came from, the secret 1930s documents that tried to rewrite world history, and what the story of "Japanese Jesus" teaches us about our own tendency to reshape faith to fit our desires. 📌 Timestamps: 00:00 - Is Jesus Buried In Japan? 00:55 - The Legend of Jesus In Japan 02:07 - Jesus, Garlic, Festivals, and a Yogurt Factory 03:28 - The Fake Manuscripts That Changed History 04:50 - Was Japan Connected to Ancient Israel? 08:17 - The Danger of Creating "Another Jesus" 💬 What do you think about the Shingo Jesus legend?

One Man Should Have Died. He Became a Founding Father.
Are the Gospels reliable? Can the whole New Testament be trusted to tell the truth about Jesus Christ? After all, some modern critics say that eyewitness testimony is unreliable. But that accusation is missing the truth about ancient historical records. In this episode, we dig into the truth about eyewitness testimony when it comes to modern criminal investigations and ancient historical accounts to see exactly why the modern argument doesn’t hold up. We’ll look at how ancient testimony can be weak and unreliable and how the New Testament proves that the text given to us is reliable on the basis that all other historical accounts are based. 🔥 Leave a comment below with your thoughts, questions, or pushback. 🔥 Hit the Like button to help this message reach others. 🔥 Share this video with a friend who need to hear it! 🔥 Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications so you don't miss our upcoming deep dives.

The Eyewitness Rule in Criminal Court—And Why It Doesn't Apply to the Gospels
🔥What if the most influential rabbi in Jewish history admitted—in his own words—that he was altering traditional interpretations of Scripture specifically to combat Christian arguments? In this explosive series finale on Rashi: The Rabbi Who Erased Jesus, we uncover what might be the ultimate "smoking gun" in the historic debate over Messianic prophecy. By diving into early manuscripts and critical academic translations, we examine Rashi's own commentary on Psalm 2, where he admits to altering the interpretation to combat Christians. We look past centuries of edited texts to explore the original rabbinic literature—including the Targum Jonathan, Talmud (Sanhedrin 98b), and multiple Midrashim—revealing how these ancient Jewish voices originally viewed passages like Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22 before Rashi's defensive shift standardized a collective national reading. Furthermore, we look at the stunning historical record left by Rashi's own grandson, Rashbam, who documented a candid confession from Rashi regarding the finality and accuracy of his own plain-text (peshat) commentaries. Whether you are looking at these texts from a Jewish tradition or a Christian perspective, this video invites you to step past centuries of institutional frameworks and engage directly with the unfiltered text of the Hebrew Scriptures. _______________________________ ⏱️ Video Chapters: 00:00 — Did Rashi Know He was Erasing Jesus 02:05—Rashi on Psalm 2: The Smoking Gun Quote 05:35—Ancient Rabbinic Literature Before Rashi 08:45—Rashbam’s Secret Confession About Rashi’s Commentary 10:21—How Rashi’s Commentary Dominated Church History 11:51—Isaiah 53 Debate: A Traditional Jewish Dispute 14:16—The Danger of Reading Commentary Over Scripture 16:06—Coming Up: Dead Sea Scrolls & Messianic Requirements 17:43—A Warning for Christians: Bending Scripture for Tradition 19:38—An Invitation to Read Messianic Prophecy Unfiltered 21:41—How To Help Get This Message Out _______________________________ 🛒 My research tools and sources (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/kristadams * As an Amazon Associate, I may earn from qualifying purchases. __________________ If this episode or this entire series has challenged, encouraged, or deepened your understanding of Scripture, please: 🔥 Leave a comment below with your thoughts, questions, or pushback. 🔥 Hit the Like button to help the algorithm share this message. 🔥 Share this video with a friend who loves deep biblical history! 🔥 Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications so you don't miss our upcoming deep dives biblical history. 📘 RESOURCES & SOURCE LIST: Find the complete source list, academic citations, and how to get Mayer Gruber's critical translation of Rashi's Psalms commentary here: https://betweenthelines-shop.fourthwall.com/ _______________________________ 📌 SERIES: The Rabbi Who Erased Jesus ▶ Episode 1: https://youtu.be/LwSyf_dzDhA ▶ Episode 2: https://youtu.be/YP9Y8AuOocM ▶ Episode 3: https://youtu.be/p3A6z8AoMg0 ▶ Episode 4: https://youtu.be/qoXC_70H0e8 ▶ Episode 5: https://youtu.be/hXGosQdBzH0 ▶ Episode 6: This video. _______________________________ Subscribe for more deep biblical insights and Christian content. 🔔 Stay Connected: 👉 Website: https://www.kristadams.com 👉 Instagram: / krist_adams 👉 Facebook: / kristadams 👉 Podcast: https://podcast.kristadams.com _______________________ I have a great mini book for new believers: https://tinyurl.com/4534n88f _______________________ #Rashi #MessianicProphecy #Isaiah53 #Apologetics #BibleStudy #BetweenTheLines #ChurchHistory #JewishHistory #JesusResurrection #Apologetics #MessianicProphecy #BiblicalTruth #judaism #jesuschrist #christianhistory #bibletruth #bibletruthandprophecy #christianpodcast #biblestudy #biblicalhistory #jesuscrucifixion #JesusIsMessiah #RabbinicJudaism #Isaiah53 #Daniel9 #Psalm22 #Zechariah12 #MessiahRevealed #EarlyJudaism #JesusInTheOldTestament #JewishMessiah #MessiahInScripture #ProphecyFulfilled #MessianicHope #JudaismAndJesus
Did Rashi Maliciously Reinterpret Messianic Scripture?
How did a medieval interpretation of messianic prophecy completely reshape Rabbinic Judaism and define how alternative readings are viewed today? In Episode 5 of our series on Rashi, we explore the legacy his legacy and uncover how his context-driven commentaries shifted from a temporary protective shield against medieval Christian persecution into absolute, timeless tradition. We break down the historical catalyst behind this theological shift—revealing how Rashi’s school, the Tosafists (including his grandsons Rashbam and Rabbeinu Tam), systematically normalized a new way of reading the Hebrew Scriptures to strip away Christological proof-texts. Discover how the 15th-century printing press revolutionized Jewish education by cementing Rashi's text on the page of standard Rabbinic Bibles and the Talmud, effectively transforming a medieval innovation into canon. We also look at how Maimonides (Rambam) built a parallel theological wall in the Sephardic world through his 13 Principles of Faith and the Mishneh Torah, permanently drawing boundaries against a supernatural Messiah. Finally, learn how ancient messianic interpretations found in the Targums and early Midrashim were pushed to the margins, reclassified as homiletic allegories, or avoided entirely to preserve communities under extreme pressure. This is the untold history of how interpretation became absolute dogma. ________________ ⏱️ Video Chapters: 00:00 - How One Rabbi’s Interpretation Changed Judaism 00:52 - The Battle Over Messianic Prophecy 03:07 - How Disciples Canonized Rashi's Commentary 06:21 - The Printing Press: How Rashi Replaced Alternative Views 08:37 - How Rashi Shuffled the Liturgy: Isaiah 53 & Daniel 9 11:15 - Maimonides vs Christianity: The 13 Principles of Faith 14:01 - Why Rabbis Avoided Ancient Messianic Midrash 16:56 - The Historical Irony of Modern Prophecy Debates ________________ 📌 SERIES: The Rabbi Who Erased Jesus ▶ Episode 1: https://youtu.be/LwSyf_dzDhA ▶ Episode 2: https://youtu.be/YP9Y8AuOocM ▶ Episode 3: https://youtu.be/p3A6z8AoMg0 ▶ Episode 4: https://youtu.be/qoXC_70H0e8 ▶ Episode 5: This video. ▶ Episode 6: Coming soon. ________________ 🛒 My research tools and sources (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/kristadams * As an Amazon Associate, I may earn from qualifying purchases.

How Rashi's Commentary Replaced the Hebrew Bible
Rashi's commentaries became the standard way Jews explain away messianic prophecy. But what about the rabbis who disagreed with him? In Episode 4, we uncover the dissenting voices — Jewish rabbis before, during, and after Rashi who refused to erase the Messiah from Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Daniel 9, and Zechariah 12. These rabbis saw what Rashi tried to remove, and they said: "This does not fit. This is not right." What you'll discover: • What the Targum Jonathan, Talmud (Sanhedrin 98b), and Midrash Rabbah taught about Isaiah 53 BEFORE Rashi — and why it sounds unmistakably Christian • Rabbi Joseph Kara and Ibn Ezra: the contemporaries who pushed back on Rashi's "Israel as servant" reading • Nachmanides (Ramban) called Rashi "completely mistaken" — here's why • Rabbi Moshe Kohen ibn Crispin, Rabbi David Kimhi (Radak), and Rabbi Moshe Alshech — the later voices who kept the messianic reading alive • Psalm 22, Daniel 9, and Zechariah 12: how each was read messianically before Rashi's fortress of interpretation sealed them shut • The double-edged sword: when the same rabbis who disagreed with Rashi still used his arguments in public debate This isn't just history. This is evidence that the scriptures themselves refused to be locked away — and the truth refuses to be pushed aside. 📌 SERIES: The Rabbi Who Erased Jesus ▶ Episode 1: https://youtu.be/LwSyf_dzDhA ▶ Episode 2: https://youtu.be/YP9Y8AuOocM ▶ Episode 3: https://youtu.be/p3A6z8AoMg0 ▶ Episode 4: This video ▶ Episode 5: Coming next ________________ CHAPTERS: 00:00—Did Rashi Ignore Jewish Tradition About The Messiah? 02:03—The Messianic Inheritance Before Rashi 03:38—Isaiah 53 Before Rashi: The Jewish Messianic Reading 06:12—Isaiah 53 After Rashi: The Rabbis Who Disagreed 13:19—Psalm 22 Prophecy: What Jewish Rabbis Believed Before Rashi 18:11—Daniel 9 Prophecy: The Messianic Reading Rashi Replaced 25:11—Zechariah 12: "They Will Look Upon Me Whom They Pierced" 28:40—The Double-Edged Sword: When Rabbis Used Rashi's Own Arguments 30:18—Why This Matters: The Truth That Refused to Be Silenced ________________ 🛒 My research tools and sources (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/kristadams * As an Amazon Associate, I may earn from qualifying purchases. 🔔 Subscribe for deep-rooted Christian commentary that goes beyond the surface.
