S1 E14: The Second Jewish War and the Birkat Haminim!

On Messianic Judaism

In this episode, we ask questions about the Second Jewish War, its "messiah" Bar Koziba, and its rabbi, Akiva.

• What made the revolt so inevitable?
• What made it such a milestone in Jewish, including Messianic Jewish, history?
• Did this war really cause a parting of the ways between Christianity and Judaism?
• What happened to the Messianic Jews who lived at that time – the Nazarenes, Ebionites, and others?
• And – were the Messianic Jews really singled out as heretics in the curse on the “minim”?
