Hebrew Voices #210 – The Lost Book of Gad the Seer: Part 1
You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.
Meir: The Words of Gad the Seer has so many affinities with the Book of Revelation, I assume that both books come from the same time and even from the same area, which is from Israel, the Land of Israel.
Nehemia: Shalom, and welcome to Hebrew Voices. I’m here today with Prof. Meir Bar Ilan at Bar Ilan University. He’s a professor in the Talmud Department and the Jewish History Department. Shalom, Prof. Bar-Ilan.
Meir: Shalom, shalom, Dr. Gordon.
Nehemia: I have to start with the question; how is it that your name is Bar-Ilan, and you’re at Bar Ilan University, and the university was founded by a man named Meir Bar Ilan, but not by you? This can’t be a coincidence!
Meir: This is not a coincidence. Both me and the university… me first, because I’m older, we are named after my late grandfather. I was born in 1951; the university was born in 1955-1956.
Nehemia: Okay.
Meir: So, I have the privilege to be a lecturer at Bar Ilan University, and believe me, not because of my nice eyes!
Nehemia: Okay. Well, Bar Ilan University is my alma mater, where I earned my PhD, my doctorate, so there’s a place in my heart for it.

Very confusing, hard to follow and understand, with no direction apparent to me. I listened to the end, and then asked myself why? Probably hoping for something that would make sense of it all. Was it impacted by English as a second language, or just boring professor speak? The expression on your face indicated that I may have not been the only one with this problem.
Dear Nehemiah, do you know about the Qumran Essence Calendar? Ken Johnson, a Calvary Chapel Bible teacher in Kansas ( I think Alethia, KS) seems anointed to study the Essence materials, the dead sea scrolls etc. including Gas and the first book of Enoch. But their calendar is apparently the original calendar, that Israelis used until the seleucids pressured them into altering theirs. I hope to get one.
