Zone1 Is More Light coming into all religions now?

I watched the video of the Rabbis NDE.
It was interesting how he weaved his experience into a story he uses to convert nonpracticing Jews to Orthodox practice. The key component he uses is FEAR. He manipulates non-religious Jews to come back to Rabbinic Judaism through fear of dying and going to an eternity in Hell, as he experienced in his NDE.

I posit this AI search as an addendum to what this Rabbi is doing as opposed to the Judaism at the time of Jesus.

Judaism during the time of Jesus (1st century CE) differed significantly from modern Orthodox Judaism in structure, practice, and religious focus.

### 1. Temple-Centered Worship vs. Synagogue and Prayer

• At the time of Jesus, Judaism was centered on the Temple in Jerusalem, where animal sacrifices and priestly rituals were the primary forms of worship. The Sadducees, who were the priestly class, controlled Temple activities.
• After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, sacrificial worship ended. Rabbinic Judaism emerged, replacing Temple rituals with prayer, Torah study, and synagogue worship, forming the foundation of modern Orthodox practice.

### 2. Religious Authority and Sects

• In Jesus’ time, multiple Jewish sects existed, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, Essenes, and Zealots, each with different beliefs and practices.
• The Pharisees emphasized oral traditions and ritual purity and were the spiritual ancestors of Rabbinic Judaism. After 70 CE, with the Sadducees gone, Pharisaic traditions evolved into Rabbinic Judaism, which is the basis of modern Orthodoxy.

### 3. Oral Law and the Talmud

• The Oral Torah, which the Pharisees upheld, was not yet compiled. The Talmud—a central text in Orthodox Judaism—was developed centuries later (completed around 500–600 CE).
• Modern Orthodox Judaism is deeply rooted in Talmudic law and rabbinic interpretation, which did not exist in Jesus’ time in written form.

### 4. Messianic Expectations

• Many Jews in the 1st century expected a political or military Messiah who would liberate Israel from Roman rule. Jesus’ followers believed he was the Messiah, but mainstream Judaism rejected this.
• Today, Orthodox Jews still await the Messiah, but the concept is more spiritual and eschatological, shaped by centuries of rabbinic thought.

### 5. Religious Practice and Daily Life

• Ancient Judaism focused on Temple rites, pilgrimage festivals, and priestly duties.
• Modern Orthodox Judaism emphasizes daily prayer, kosher laws, Shabbat observance, and detailed halakhic (Jewish legal) rulings, all systematized by rabbis after the Temple’s destruction.

In summary, while modern Orthodox Judaism traces its roots to the Pharisees of Jesus’ time, it is a post-Temple, rabbinically developed religion that differs fundamentally in practice and structure from 1st-century Judaism.

Yes, he is using fear to bring non-practicing Jews into being observant again. Fear is what drove him to make that shift himself. I do believe that his message is going out to a high percentage of Jews in the USA, Canada and in Israel. I believe that Christians and Muslims and many Atheists are listening to him as well.

His second near death experience in 2020 was quite unusual and he was shown events that seem to fit with Revelation chapter twelve. If I were to guess where Rabbi Alon Anava might perhaps fit into the wrap up of end time events in Israel, my guess is that he could be the predicted high priest of Zechariah chapter three?



You are going to want to go to the 1: 11 : 00 mark in this video about the second near death experience account of Rabbi Alon Anava and Revelations chapter 12 will begin to make a lot more sense.

Revelation 12:9
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."



"Rabbi Anava's 2nd Near Death Experience! And the message we need to be focusing on!"

DennisPTate Well, he has quite an imagination.

The rules of Judaism are challenging. Even the Apostle Paul advised Gentiles to not even get circumcised unless they were going to go all the way and live fully by the law of Moses.

I look at Christianity as an evolution of Judaism. Rabbinical Judaism is draconian in ritualization of dot and tittle found in the Old Testament. With the destruction of the 2nd Temple they improvised to keep the religion going. Orthodox Judaism in my opinion is oppressive and tyrannical. But of course, the Rabbis will say that it is a beautiful lifestyle.

I believe reincarnation is probable from various reading over the years. I think that Jewish and Christians can see hints of it in both the Old and New Testaments but only vague references. The men who put together these texts and yes I said men who decided which text got to be in the bibles..........did not want common followers to know the truth. The truth about reincarnation would lessen their grip.... lessen their
control over the followers. Knowing one has more than one chance to r

Reincarnation is a major tennent of pagan immortal soul belief.

The soul that sins, it shall DIE
The wicked will become ASHES under the feet of the righteous

The Bible nowhere hints at reincarnation

You are correct that reincarnation is a major tenant of pagan religions, but, that would not automatically mean that it isn't significantly valid if we look at this differently.

For one thing the Dr. Ian Stevenson research is impressive and I believe that most serious Christian or Messianic Jewish Theologians with a background in science would be extremely hesitant to write off the Dr. Ian Stevenson research as having been arranged somehow by Satan!

1. About Dr. Ian Stevenson​

Dr. Ian Stevenson (1918-2007) was a psychiatrist who worked for the University of Virginia School of Medicine for 50 years. He was Chair of the Department of Psychiatry from 1957 to 1967, the Carlson Professor of Psychiatry from 1967 to 2001, and a Research Professor of Psychiatry from 2002 until his death. He was also the founder and Director of the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies investigating parapsychological phenomena such as (1) reincarnation, (2) near-death experiences, (3) out-of-body experiences, and (4) altered states of consciousness and psi. He became internationally recognized for his research into reincarnation by discovering evidence suggesting that memories and physical injuries can be transferred from one lifetime to another. He traveled extensively over a period of 40 years, investigating 3,000 cases of children around the world who recalled having past lives. His meticulous research presented evidence that such children had unusual abilities, illnesses, phobias and philias which could not be explained by the environment or heredity.

Yes, Christianity seems to be a more merciful evolution of Judaism.

We now are being given evidence that the best experiences that this life has to offer pale in comparison to what the afterlife has for those of us who will learn to love others as ourselves. The following account somewhat reminds me of the "Vulcan Mind Meld' that the Star Trek character Spock, used to do on others, when a drastic intervention was necessary?

Soul Merge With God​

Jayne Smith described soul merger with God: “This white light began to infiltrate my consciousness. It came into me. It seemed I went out into it. I expanded into it as it came into my field of consciousness. There was nothing I was aware of except this brilliant white light. The light brought with it the most incredible feeling of total love, total safety, total protection. I was just enveloped in it. I remember feeling almost cradled by it. It was so dynamic it was almost palpable. As I existed in this white light, in this incredible love, I began to be rapturous. The rapture built. The bliss built. My consciousness began to expand with the bliss of it all… Then I simply remember I became more blissful, more rapturous, more ecstatic. I was just filling and filling with this light and love that was in the light. The dynamics of this light are not static at all. They are so dynamic and so much going on in there of love and joy and knowledge. As you take it into yourself, or as it goes into you and you receive it, your ecstasy level just becomes tremendous. I knew that I had lost all sense of having a body. It was just my consciousness, sort of pure and free floating, and I did not think at all during this part of the experience. I had no thoughts. I was a receiving station. I merely felt and absorbed and took in and did not think at all. I reached the point in the rapture of it all where I thought to myself suddenly, the first thought. ‘I wonder how much more of this I can stand before I shatter?’ With that thought, the light began to recede. So, the universe will not let us shatter. We cannot take in more of this bliss and joy than we are able to handle at a time.”

Christian Andreason on soul merge with God: “I saw that we were indeed made in the image of God, which is an essence taken from the Creator’s own light. It is because of this light that we can never die. Every single child of God carries this light within their soul, and we call this light, spirit. As we learn how to love, we build the light of spirit within. A day will come (in a time not so far away) when all of our light(s) will have become so large that we will merge and go back to the Creator and be as ONE – just as we were in the beginning. Once we are one again, there will be a great celebration. And after a certain amount of time has passed, yet again, there will be another great explosion, only this time it will be much bigger and the process of Creation will be far more advanced.”

Why Belief Isn't a Choice

So far I have only listened to three minutes of this video but this reminds me of a lecture by the rather brilliant Jordan Maxwell where he reports being told by a gifted friend of something that he would eventually do, in a specific car, with certain people, more than a year before it happened.

How could Mr. Jordan Maxwell's friend tell him about what he would do a year or so later if his freedom of choice was total and complete?

It's not even a 10 minute video. It speaks to me because, belief cannot be forced. If it is, it's tyranny.

You are absolutely correct. Love that is forced or automatically programmed into creatures, is not true love. I have ran into that idea over and over and over again in my research of the paranormal.
