Tel Arad: Josiah's Reformation

Tags:  idolatry, israel, restoration, tel arad, torah, tour

Episode 2: The ancient site of Tel Arad in the Judean Desert provides a fascinating glimpse into the syncretistic idolatress worship prevalent in ancient Israel and the massive restoration under the leadership of King Josiah. This archeological site includes an altar and a holy of holies with two standing stones representing the Almighty and his consort. Was the common Israelite guilty of utter rebellion or were there other dynamics going on? What lessons can we learn from this for our times?

In this video blog, Daniel and Steven Lancaster join together to give you a glimpse into the holy land of Israel. Archaeology, geography, geology, along with the language and cultural history of the Land and the People of Israel make the words of the Torah, the Psalms, and the Prophets - the Scriptures of Israel - come alive. In this video blog you'll get a raw peek into the experience of being on a First Fruits of Zion Israel tour and learn many valuable truths and biblical lessons in the mean time.

About the Author: D. Thomas Lancaster is Director of Education at First Fruits of Zion, and regular contributor to Messiah Journal. He is the author of the Torah Club programs, and the books Grafted In, Restoration and King of the Jews
