For the Biblical scholars on my list

Gabriel's Revelation suggests that the idea of a messiah dying and being resurrected after three days was already an established concept at the time of Christ, a part of the apocalyptic writings in the tradition of Daniel. An interesting article.

Ack, I have no idea what links are there because I have a paid account, so I don't see ads. What are they?

I get comments in my gmail, so I'm seeing the ads put there by gmail. It scans emails for key words and targets specific ads that have similar key words. So the ads I was seeing were mostly apocalyptic prophecy websites sponsored by the kinds of Christians I actively dislike. Ew.

Oh, okay. Yuck.
