“There are only 150 psalms in my Bible!” a friend said to me yesterday after seeing a summary of my new book, Dancing with David. “Is your Psalm 151 an invention of your imagination?”

Sorry cialis in australia to say but nowadays there are available drugs available today that can cure erectile dysfunction and untimely discharge. Mentioning impotence therapy and the name that right away springs to mind is soft tab viagra .

Well, yes and no. Since the late 1980s, working on the Dead Sea Scrolls in Ann Arbor, I’ve been fascinated with the non-biblical Psalm 151, which has been known since before Jesus’ time. The Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible made in Egypt before the birth of Jesus), added the brief psalm, King David telling only two stories of his celebrated life: (1) that though he was smaller than his brothers, God chose him while keeping his father’s sheep; (2) and though much smaller than Goliath, he defeated the giant in bloody battle.
Only in 1956, with the excavation of Cave 11 at the Dead Sea, did it become known that Psalm 151 had a Hebrew original. Still, the Cave 11 scroll told ONLY those two early stories told of David’s incredible life.
So, you see, Psalm 151 is very real, but in Dancing with David I imagine a new Dead Sea discovery in 2021 that proves to be the original psalm, King David’s autobiography, inscribed on six limestone tablets that relate much more of his life, filling in the gaps all the way to his triumphant entrance into Jerusalem, allowing the reader to “Dance with David” as he leads the Ark of the Covenant into the city.
But there’s a mystery. The sixth tablet tells of a hidden Seventh Tablet, King David’s dying words and prophecy, which must be discovered before the land of Israel could know healing and peace. The Seventh Tablet must be discovered, the prophecy foretold, by David’s Kochav Hayam (Hebrew = Star of the Sea), the Muse who had appeared throughout his life to help him overcome the chief enemy of his soul, Hakol (Hebrew = the Voice).
This leads to a 2022 Holy Land quest for the Seventh Tablet, the Jewish professor/archaeologist (David Aaronson) joining with his former student and Christian pastor (Stella Maris).
Dancing with David is available now, in both Kindle and paperback. I hope you’ll check it out by clicking on the link below.
       

Jeroboam Derangement Syndrome : A Hebrew Scholar’s Dream of Fox News Hosting Israel’s Most Maligned King, T Kindle Edition


Nearly three thousand years ago an ultra-successful business leader of real estate projects in Jerusalem rode a populist wave to the summit of political power in Israel. His Hebrew name, Jeroboam, meant “May the People Be Great,” eerily similar to President Trump”s motto, “Make America Great Again.” Jeroboam was intent upon “Making Israel Great Again.” After his stunning ascension to the throne, aided by the interference of a powerful leader of a foreign government, this new king moved into his palace with his beautiful, foreign-born, multi-lingual wife. Quickly he set out to fulfill his Israel-first promises by building his “Wall” and “Draining the Swamp,” two acts forever earning him the scorn of ancient Israel”s media class, the prophets and scribes. Though successful in bettering his people”s lives through creating a vibrant economy, Jeroboam was unrelentingly maligned by Jerusalem”s Establishment, which detected in this unexpected king a core corruption overshadowing the significant accomplishments of his administration. The historical assessment of the biblical narrative is thoroughly filled with Jeroboam-hatred which, in the light of today”s mainstream media attacks on President Trump, the author diagnoses as Jeroboam Derangement Syndrome. In Midrashic fashion the author allows Jeroboam to offer his side of the story, unheard for three millennia, through his dream of Fox”s hit show, The Five, inviting Jeroboam and his family to set the record straight. Jeroboam”s claim that the Bible”s assessment of his reign is fake news doesn”t go unchallenged as the prophet Ahijah, one of the king”s fiercest critics during his lifetime, joins the panel of The Five.Jeroboam Derangement Syndrome gives a much-maligned ancient king of Israel a voice that sounds like America”s current president. Defending himself against the indictment of the biblical narrative, especially in his building the wall and draining the swamp, he finds himself defending President Trump.
