This week's episode explores how Jews described the concept of preexistence. We note that "preexistence" is not a single concept, but rather we observe from several Jewish texts that preexistence can mean three different ideas: preexisting in God's plans, preexisting as a personified attribute (e.g., word and wisdom), and literally preexisting. This study aims to encourage interpreters to think more critically about the way we talk about preexistence, rather than to assume that it only refers to a single defined concept.

All to say “Lord, then teach us to number our [short] days so that we may get a heart of wisdom.” There is nothing about repentance preexisting in God’s mind. Thoughts?

Hi Dustin, thanks for this great content. I’m curious about your remark regarding Psalm 90:2. Did your research find that Jews really interpreted “sub” as repentance? Context and rules of Jewish poetry clearly show in the Bicol on and context that the “return” is pertaining to returning to dust. Context shows the section of the poem to be a contrast between the everlasting God and the brevity of human life. God commands man to return to dust; he sweeps them away like a flood; etc.
