Uh, yo, could you summarize for us? No one wants to watch a boring video.

I think it is saying that Enochian Judaism found its way into the four Abrahamic traditions so that beyond Judaism, you will also find it in Christianity, Islam, and Mormonism.

I thought that the cosmic dualism was a gift of Zoroastrianism to the world.

Re: The Bad Idea that Took Over the World
That was a good video by Tabor. I have watched several of his vids this last few weeks. It's a good warm up to the New Testament this year...
