Images in this presentation Most of the images used in this presentation are from the classical artists, who often used the rich and well known stories of the Hebrew Bible. They rarely knew the landscapes and styles of the original settings and periods, and used their experience or imagination. Therefore, rich and magnificent as they are, do not expect them to look authentic!

Normal Service Resumed! Temple service resumed, but it was no longer ‘the only way to be Jewish’. The priests were sometimes ignorant and corrupt (Saducees). A new group of Jewish leaders was emerging to guide the people and to interpret the law (Pharisees). This new leadership was emerging both in Babylon and in Judah

48
End of the revolt and of hope, and a final separation. The Judeans, including Rabbi Akiva, believe that Bar Kochba is the Messiah. The Romans eventually put down the revolt in 135 CE. This marks the end of hopes for Jewish independence. Followers of Jesus rejected Bar Kochba, leading to final separation from the Jews.
