We will be finishing up the first DVD of the Catholicism series this week.  In this segment Fr. Barron presents to us what it would mean in the eyes of a first century Jew to view Yahweh moving among his people.  From the Old Testament "Yahweh would be expected to do the following four great things:  He would gather the scattered tribes of Israel; he would cleanse the Temple of Jerusalem; he would definitively deal with the enemies of the nation; and finally, he would rein as Lord of heaven and earth."  Great accomplishments to be sure.  But what is is about Jesus that makes this one different from all other revolutions?  Be thinking about this.  Who was Bar Kochba?   Then, come and see how this relates to us in the here and now and what the significance of this is for The Church.
