Bible Note: Hi, You ask for evidence that millennialism was an intertestamental Jewish teaching? How about, 'and I appointed the eighth day also, that the eighth day should be the first created after my work, and that the first seven revolve in the form of the seventh thousand, and that at the beginning of the eighth thousand there should be a time of not counting, endless, with neither years, nor months, nor weeks, nor days, nor hours' (2 Enoch 33.1-2). And -- 'the Messiah will then begin to be revealed, -- the earth also will yield its fruit ten-thousandfold, and on each vine there will be a thousand branches, and each branch will produce a thousand clusters, and each cluster produce a thousand grapes, and each grape produce a cor of wine, moreover also they will behold marvels every day' (2 Baruch 30.4-6). This was in fact the source of the ideas of Papias, Irenaeus, Tertullian etc . Best wishes Jonp |
