Sheol and resurrection

The Sheol (pronounced Sh'ol) and 'the place where, according to the Old Testament stay dead. It' important to understand my Parece the concept of the afterlife and the Hebrew 'strong ties to the concept of resurrection Christian (as evidenced in the New Testament) and because' the Catholic Church still preaches this eschatological vision of the world, which in my opinion, but according to others and 'very logical and understandable.

The first important concept, and' that the Jews inseparable soul and body, unlike the Greek conception (the soul that can ' live without a body) is also different from many of Eastern religions and the current Christian Gnostic (not influenced by the Greek case).
  • For the Greeks, the soul, spark of God, incarnated in a body and at the death body, the soul returns to God
  • For Jews and 'the opposite, and' the body it gives life, so it 's true that God splasma clay to create the first man and breathes life, so the Jews are one body with the soul, and not a soul with a body (change priority') .
    Then soul and body are tied together, if the body dies the soul follows the fate of the body and goes into Sheol, the underworld.
IOC 'not surprising because the Jewish people share the mentality 'of the Semitic races, where you and' differentiated in time. The ancient Semitic peoples lived in the fertile plains of the Tigris and Euphrates. It was a hard life because of the frequent flooding of rivers (nien to do with tranquility 'of the Nile) destroyed what' that was sown. Even the buildings were made of clay and corruptible in time (most of 'the stone that did not exist in the area).
Hence a pessimistic conception of life and therefore almost materialistic: enjoy this life because it 's one and after you go all in Sheol, good and bad, forever (the Resurrection will be' introduced later).

Famous example is' the yearning of the hero Gilgamesh , in the more 'great epic of antiquity', where the hero in the face of adversity 'of life and the inevitability of' death is told:

" Where are you going Gilgamesh?
The way you try you will not find


When the great gods created mankind, they

Destined to death

is reserved for themselves eternal life
"

place in these terms, life would be really sad, but this was the mentality of 'Semitic and this' and' logical that a dowry was brought by the first Jews (not just This inherited from the Sumerians, think of the myth of Noah's flood - that is the flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates - the same story in both the Bible and Sumerian chronicles).

What 'Sheol then? Since soul and body are inextricably linked to Jews (as distinct but inseparable), Sheol and 'the place of separation from God, non-communication, that' the body that awaits his death and that there will remain 'forever, at least in the primitive conception. The only consolation
and 'loyalty' to God, and God's favor would be expressed with the glory of their people, with the victory over the enemy population, then an earthly reward, not the individual but for the entire population ( and its descendants).

Subsequently, the prophet Malachi onwards, will be 'introduced the concept of resurrection from Sheol. Gia 'the Bible speaks of God as man who can' decide to come back to life (soul and body) who find themselves in Sheol. After the captivity
'Babylonian, or following the deportation of a people - a serious national disaster - the reward is not the most' seen as God's chosen people favors (in fact does not explain why 'God has left them to be deported), but as individual assessment at the end of time. All those in Sheol resurrected in the flesh (soul and body) and will be judged.

is the resurrection of the body in the mentality of 'Catholic taken in toto from the Jewish one, and it will be 'the language they will use the evangelists in the world to spread the message of Jesus' Christ, according to their mentality', as Jews can understand and explain to those who had not, and you jew is confronted with this strange concept, especially if the mentality 'Greek.

How do you reconcile this? For me, nothing to do with faith. The message of Christ, the Son of God, 'a message of love among the people, the "second birth " mentioned in the beautiful San Giovanni, the second birth happens now, when you become aware of this universal message .
Jesus' eschatology has not done, the early Christians take Jewish eschatology and incorporating it in their old rituals - legally, that's fine - but it could be taken in place of the Greek metempsychosis, the same was true for intellectual and educational purposes.
But by faith, in my opinion is the love that Christ taught us, not the eschatology.
