Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity
Re-reading Revelation through Hebrew Eyes
Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity! I have two special guests today--Ryan White and Dr. Dinah Dye and we are discussing a different view of the Book of Revelation. This is not a view we hear often, but I ask that you keep an open mind.
This conversation is based on an eleven-hour DVD called Revelation Unmasked. Find their resource page at Revelation Unmasked.com.
The video features Dr. Dinah Dye and Ryan White as they delve into a nuanced discussion about the Book of Revelation. Rather than predicting a new end date, they focus on examining the culture and context in which the book was written. Their goal is to understand how the original audience interpreted Revelation and why it was deemed valuable enough to be included in the biblical canon.
This eleven-part series covers various topics, including the four primary methods of interpreting Revelation, the symbolic nature of its visions, and the depiction of Yeshua (Jesus) in the book. They also explore the historical and geographical context of the seven cities addressed in the letters to the churches, the significance of Babylon and the great tribulation, and the characteristics of the antagonists in the narrative. The series further investigates the symbolism of numerical values, the concept of the bride and the New Jerusalem, and the Olivet Discourse. The final segment connects these insights to contemporary issues, emphasizing the importance of enduring suffering and resisting compromise in today's world.
Ryan White is the voice and vision behind Faith of Messiah, where ancient wisdom meets modern hearts through the study of Scripture. With hundreds of hours of video teachings, I endeavor to bridge the millennia, connecting the cultural context of the Bible to the relevance it holds for us today. As one of the founders of the Saturday Church Community, Ryan is deeply invested in creating a space where faith and fellowship flourish side by side.
Dr. Dinah Dye was raised in Ottawa, Canada, in a conservative Jewish home. She attended Hebrew school, celebrated the festivals with her family, and enjoyed summers at an Orthodox Jewish summer camp. Dinah spent her teen years and early twenties deeply involved in the New Age movement. During those years, she came to the belief that truth would be based on three things: it would be easy to understand, it would be for everyone, and it would be based on love. She met that truth in 1979 in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.
