Document Summary
Theology and politics hand in hand in era (jewish monotheism, 1. God and others are idols, with election (chosen people of god)) Monotheism and election -> eschatology: belief that history is going somewhere, something happn through which everthing will be put right. 1ce jew eschatology claim one god act within history to vindicate people and establish justice and peace (same as jesus) Israel"s punishment continuing with cultural domination, unredeemedness, foreigners overlords liberation still to be accomplished. Tiptoe with expectation -> jesus announce god as last becoming king 1ce jewish prophet jesus (1) (2) announcing god"s kingdom center of mission and message (fact that god ruled) Hope: yhwh king -> israel return from exile, evil defeated, yhwh return to zion doesn"t happen in jesus" day. Jesus invoke current revolutionary ideology and gospel, trace back to isaiah and prophets beyond mere military revolution. Israel"s story reaching climax, moving toward decisive moemtn -> coming kingdom of god not new religion/moral code/doctrine .
