Leighton Smith Podcast #224 - December 13th 2023 - Jerusalem
Manage episode 389115383 series 2501767
The events in Israel on October 7 shocked the world.
The differing reactions from various countries, cultures, races and religions should have shocked just as much.
The lack of historical knowledge and perspective exposed the thin veneer of civilisation.
The similarities and differences of AD 70 to 2023 indicate that while some things change, human nature doesn’t.
Via the writing of Josephus, Simon Sebag Montefiore and Douglas Murray, we can improve perspective.
