Failed Messiahs From the Time of Jesus
Matt Whitman and The Ten Minute Bible Hour
@mattwhitmantmbhAbout
I'm Matt and I'm endlessly curious about the Bible and Christianity and the God those things are about. I was raised around Evangelical Christianity, collected a few degrees about theology and such, pastored churches and then had my faith fall apart. I spent time believing there was no God, but then started over on Christian faith from the beginning, and that's where I am now. The idea of an infinite God setting out to redeem a busted up but still beautiful world over the long haul is about the most interesting thing I can imagine, and that (at its core) is what all my videos are about. I make explainer videos, do reviews, tour churches, interview people, make deep-dive history and theology stuff and sometimes I post ridiculous sketches. Feel free to enjoy what you resonate with and ignore the rest. If you're here, it's because your curiosity overlaps with mine, and I'm grateful for that. I'm always glad to cross paths with anyone of good will whether we agree on everything or not.
Video Description
Tons of wannabe messiahs had already come and gone by the time Jesus showed up, and even after Jesus a bunch more showed up and flopped as well. Here's the rundown on the biggest names in almost/sort-of/fake-cheese messiahs.
