Re: The apocalyptic XVIth chapter of the Didache

I am not aware of the term being used to described, say, getting out of bed in the morning (which folks do again and again every day) or other short term periods of non-standing. ἀνάστασιν ... ἐξ ὕπνου : rise from sleep Sophocles, Philoctetes 276 Or as the opposite of falling: εἰς πτῶσιν καὶ ἀνάστα...

Re: The apocalyptic XVIth chapter of the Didache

If someone is ill in bed or lying down in exhaustion, and afterwards gets better and stands up, that’s this person’s αναστασις, his or her ‘standing up’ or ‘rising’. When the Gospel writers introduced the fictional succession of death-and-becoming-alive-again, a doctrinal translation was needed, and...

Re: The apocalyptic XVIth chapter of the Didache

DCH Thank you for your clarification. In the translation above I only translated ουρανος as sky, and I preferred salpinx instead of trumpet, for the rest I kept Kirsopp Lake’s translation (Loeb Classical Library). As I believe that apocalyptic writings describe historical events, I would translate t...

Re: The apocalyptic XVIth chapter of the Didache

CW Thank you for your contribution. Without going in detail, I think we should consider the events of 70 CE to be a mental earthquake with magnitude 10 for the Jews. As the first Gospel was written shortly after 70 CE, we should not only give the war events an a priori preference for being discussed...

Re: The apocalyptic XVIth chapter of the Didache

(Part 3) Didache XVI, verse 4 For as lawlessness increases, men will hate, persecute and betray one another, and then the deceiver of the world will appear as the son of God and will do signs and wonders, and the earth will be given into his hands and he will commit such abominations as have never b...

Re: The apocalyptic XVIth chapter of the Didache

As the information we have regarding the community(-ies) of the scrolls is in Hebrew and Aramaic (with a few Greek Pentateuch translation fragments), there is no basis to claim that Οι πολλοι is the standard Greek term for anything concerning them. Concerning hàrrabîm / οι πολλοι / ‘the many’ I fou...
