Tractate Sanhedrin - The Talmud on the World to Come

Lesson Nineteen

Returning to the original narrative; the Talmud continues to identify biblical sources for the traditional Jewish belief in “The Resurrection.” Incisive analysis of a scriptural juxtaposition of the insatiable nature of graves and wombs serve to reveal an inherent awareness about end-of-days messianic credo involving the resuscitation-of-the-dead. A teaching attributed to the Prophet Elijah indicates an earlier wave of messianic resurrection. Defending this notion introduces us to unearthly “Eagle-men” phenomenon, as the conversation shifts to Ezekiel's famous dry bones! (Tractate Sanhedrin 92a-92b)
