I have devoted so many of my years studying the Dead Sea scrolls, along with TaNaKh and Talmud. Here is my informed answer to this very question:
Prophet Jesus was long dead, murdered by Rome, well before Christianity was formed in the Aegean north! History does not change, because you want to believe in a Colonial European or Colonial Arab history!
The question: “Yosef Ibn Yehuda, this is what I have a tough time understanding. Archaic Judaism believed that once the bodies dies, so does the consciousness, how did we get to the concept of a heaven, any sort of afterlife? Is that just a Christian influence over diasporic Judaic beliefs?”
Great question! Sort of Christian, but not totally. By the Roman occupation period of Jewish history, Jews of the Levant (Judea and Samaria) were deeply invested in ethno-religious Zionistic thought (anti-Roman occupation!) and in the creation of apocalyptic literature. At this point in Jewish history, we were devout henotheists as a people and believers in a specific form of reincarnation. Jews, such as the proto-Rabbi “Jesus” and the Zionist rebel “bar Kokhba” (multiple etc!) believed that the “Beast” (Rome) was about to be overthrown and Israel was about to experience the age of the prophesied “Messiah.” Because of Jewish poetic/prophetic literature, Jews of this period believed that those who experienced this Zionistic war, but died, would resurrect to experience this Israel that is no longer at war with our antisemitic neighbors. The only problem is, there was no successful “messiah” and no victory over the “Beast” (occupying Rome). But, a good three year run at Indigenous Judean independence (only to be matched by the later Hushiel rebels against Arab Islam, also three years, and successfully 1948).
So,… Perhaps I should say here, Christianity had yet to be invented in the Aegean north at this historic time, by heretic Paul and Marion of Sinope, and proto-Rabbi Jewish zealot “Jesus” had been long murdered by Rome. A failed “messiah.” Your question is – paraphrased – “How did Jews begin to believe in a ‘world to come’ “? This is where 4th century CE forward Byzantine Christian enforced slavery of Jews and Colonial aspirations take root. How can an outnumbered Indigenous Judean people not embrace a Colonizer’s worldview for the sake of our own people’s very survival? But, still yet, for our very Indigenous Judean survival, be just that little bit off – to remind us who we really are as the people of Israel?

Question: “Jewish Indigenous Rights Advocacy – JIRA, Jewish people have never done anything for Natives. Jewish people have only taken our land, they have never given anything back to us. Jewish owners of sports teams blatantly give us the finger with their mascot bullshit. Tell us JIRA what do you do to help indigenous peoples or our land?”
The Answer – for history matters(!): We won’t try and defend the handful of successfully colonized Jew’canos, they will have to answer for themselves. What has Jews done for blacks (Africans and Native Americans) in the USA?, is the question. Here is the answer: There has always been demographically less Jews in the USA, throughout this Colonial nation’s history, than First Nations Indigenous Peoples (the only group smaller in physical body numbers every census than we Jews are Polynesians). Yet, historically, we were the first to publicly ally with black (A/NA) slaves with our abolitionist activities. We Jews took the beatings at the counters, rode the buses, walked the bridge with MLK, and communally funded the start up of the NAACP. We Israeli Jews are striving in all our limited numbers to be environmental sustainability leaders with our Indigenous corporations on Indigenous Judean land. Yet we are also in New Mexico, on Navajo land, with technology projects that draw water literally from the skies to assist in First Nation water sovereignty. Before you ever judge a Jew again, in all that Colonial Arab-European taught antisemitic racism for Allah-Christ-Marx continued dominionism and ruling supremacy upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands, perhaps you might want to get to know actual Jews. Not these Hollywood charicatures about us!
“In response to the Springfield riot, a group of black and white activists, Jews and gentiles, met in New York City to address the deteriorating status of African Americans. Among them were veterans of the Niagara Movement (a civil rights group), suffragists, social workers, labor reformers, philanthropists, socialists, anti-imperialists, educators, clergymen, and journalists—some with roots in abolitionism. In the abolitionist tradition, they proposed to fight the new color-caste system with a “new abolition movement”—the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP pledged “to promote equality of rights and eradicate caste or race prejudice among citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored citizens; to secure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for their children, employment according to their ability, and complete equality before the law.” The NAACP pursued this mission through a variety of tactics including legal action, lobbying, peaceful protest, and publicity.” – NAACP: A Century in the Fight for Freedom, Founding and Early Years

Islamic Apartheid towards the indigenous Jews of Judea and Samaria is a Colonial sin against Elohim/Allah (“God”)! … I’ll say it again, Muslim Apartheid against the Jews born in Judea and Samaria is a Colonial Arab sin against “God”!
BIDEN assures JORDAN of USA’s continued support for MUSLIM APARTHEID restricting Jews from Temple Mount! Because Colonial Arabs-Europeans for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands can never allow MENA Jews of Israel to *fully decolonize* and be truly self-sovereign upon the third of the land of Israel that we forcibly decolonized in 1948, against the will of the British and Arabs, because – to do so – would effectively admit to this Arab-European colonized planet of occupied Indigenous Nations that Colonialism is wrong, and this would threaten Arab-European ruling Colonial supremacy and future impunity for Colonial Allah-Christ-Marx atrocities on Arab-European settler-occupied lands!
RUSSIAN foreign minister calls for creation of PALESTINIAN state! Just like the USSR, the creators of the terrorist-occupation group the PLO, called for a resolution in 1973 to declare Zionism (Jewish decolonization) as racism against the Arab-European Colonizers of the land of Israel (what only Arabs-Europeans call “Palestine”) and, especially, towards the Jordan-Egypt post-1949 settler-occupiers of Judea-Samaria (what only Arabs-Europeans call the “West Bank”) and Gaza parts of our MENA Jewish 1948 decolonized land of Israel!
Since Nebuchadnezzar, the indigenous Jews of Canaan Israel have always managed to survive, despite being constantly in the “Lion’s Den” for Colonial Allah-Christ-Marx terrorism! … There are over 400 Islamic mosques in the nation-State of Israel, which we protect – via the IDF – the freedom of Muslims to enter daily without fear of their safety! But, Jordan, the USA, and the United Arab-European Colonial Nations (the UN) deny even religious Jews the right to be upon our most sacred Jewish Temple Mount – wherever the Colonial Arab “Mount Rushmore” al-Aqsa compound touches. Why is this?
Six (6) million Israeli Jews, half of whom are “secular,” with 1.5 million Israeli Arab, Druze, and Bedouin citizens are *no legitimate threat* to the 1.7 billion Arab Muslims that surround and occupy Israel, and their 2.4 billion European Christian benefactors – who *ensure* year after year that this Colonial Arab-European supremacy and Colonial Apartheid upon the only successfully partially decolonized Indigenous refugee nation on this planet, Earth, remains unchanged and in place – to include the non-citizen Arab settler-occupation force, self-named (ironically) *Felishti* (“Palestinian”)!

Yes, yes! And this is *exactly* why we build our Sukkah on top of, around, in the neighborhood of every Jewish home on our yearly agrarian festival of Sukkot! The festival where we wave – as individuals, as families, as communities – the lulav v’etrog in the Six Directions for the future rain for the future harvest. And, spend every night, rain or moonlight shine, in the temporary shelters that we have made out of the most basic of earthly materials in order to eat our meals. Every Indigenous child needs to understand their way of life! Not just in stories shared and taught, but in physical yearly repetitious rituals! But, who listens to Jews in this Arab-European colonized world for Colonial Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism and ruling supremacy upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands?!
What good is God without Indigenous Peoples? This is what sets the indigenous people who have few bodies apart from colonial Islam and colonial Christianity seeking to rule this planet!

“If you’re going to teach, at least use the proper article before a vowel. Make that “an Arab,” not “a Arab.” ”
Hey, clueless “grammar police” adult: 1- Children are still learning “a” versus “an” before consonants that follow, and often write sentences this way. 2- The parents/teachers – the United Arab-European Colonial Nations (the UN) for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism and ruling supremacy upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands – are so busy scolding Indigenous Peoples’ resistance to Arab-European settler-occupations upon Indigenous Peoples’ lands that – they ain’t checking the spelling, either! You got to have systemic structural descendant social privilege to be paying attention to grammar, rather than the message. Are you an Arab-European Colonizer for continued Colonial Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism and ruling supremacy upon all Indigenous Peoples’ lands?
The response: “Yosef Ibn Yehuda, I do apologize for picking on the vowel choice, when the message was much more important. I am by no means an Arab-European colonizer! Israel was given by God for the Whole House of Israel. We don’t need Arabs there, but the Jews aren’t yet seeking the return of the other tribes.”
The shocked need to provide a corrective understanding of “the Jews” and history of the Levant region: Whoa! “Israel was given by God for the Whole House of Israel” “We don’t need Arabs there, but *the Jews* aren’t yet seeking the return of the other tribes.” This is Arab-European Colonizer talk! Let me correct your understanding of “the Jews”:
In ancient Canaan, the peoples of Canaan were divided by the primary – mutually intelligible – Canaanite language dialects of Moabite, Hebrew, Phoenician/Canaanite, and Edomite. Of these Canaanite peoples, only the Jewish people have survived colonization, assimilation, … outright extinction! The northern Israelite kingdom that also spoke Canaanite Hebrew was the first to go, being forcibly assimilated into Assyrian culture, language, and religious belief. Hence the Judean Torah lament of the lost tribes of Israel! They were not scattered throughout the world, as is Colonial Arab-European folklore to justify their colonizations of this planet.
What few Israelite communities within the occupation areas of ancient Assyria that survived this colonization either, 1, joined with and became we Indigenous Judeans, like the Edomites would later do (to avoid Colonial assimilation) or, 2, became the later Samaritans of this Canaan land.
The Arabs that began to spread as a Muslim Colonizer, like Europeans as empires and then Christian Colonizers, were simple Arab tribes that lived in the southern part of Arabia (Mecca and downwards). They never were members of the Canaanite people, hence why their language is not a Canaanite language!
We Canaanite Hebrew speaking Jews have a saying: Yes, the Jewish people are from the land of Judea and Samaria! Then the European Palestinians came to occupy. Then the Arab Palestinians came to occupy. The Jewish people will always be from the land of Judea-Samaria! We were born on the “Jordan” side, and became a nation on the side of Judea and Samaria. Arab occupier, you wear the “סודרא/sudra” – a headdress for the Jewish people – and call it a Palestinian keffiyeh. Thank you for reminding everyone that Jews are the Indigenous inhabitants of Judea-Samaria!
The Arabs are no more descendants of our Canaanite Hebrew speaking people, than the Europeans who appropriated our Indigenous Judean people’s literatures in order to create Christianity in the Aegean north! Easily verifiable historical facts really do matter, folks. … Lastly, “the Jews” have been actively bringing our lost worldwide Diaspora communities of Jews back to Israel, through rescue operations, since the European-Arab Shoah (WWII) to exterminate the entire people of Israel.

North Africans, Europeans, and Arabs have been occupying the extremely small land of Israel for 3,800 years now!
The Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians were brief localized regional empires, limited to the northern African, the Levant, and the Southwest Asia regions only – hardly “worldwide”! The Canaan Levant, where the land of the people of Israel is located, was the stomping grounds between these regional empires. Hence our Torah “tall tales” to rival and ward away these regional empires!
The first multi-continent Colonial empires that would set the stage for a worldwide take over of planet Earth began with the Greeks and Romans. And *not* before!
Then, after the northern Aegeans created Christianity and the southern Arabians created Islam – both universalist pure “religions” that are fundamentally designed for the conquesting of all human beings to their theology and Colonial way of life – the Arabs of formerly insignificant Arabia joined the Europeans in their quest to conquer and exploit all the Indigenous Peoples’ lands worldwide for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism and ruling supremacy upon planet Earth!
Since the Egyptians, the first Indigenous People to be colonized by Colonial empires was the peoples of Canaan (includes the indigenous Judean people known as “Jews” today). To this very day, the only Indigenous People to successfully forcibly partially decolonize upon our Colonial Arab-European occupied land is the Jewish people of Israel! … So, may the Kurdish people of neighboring Southwest Asia be the next Indigenous People to successfully forcibly partially decolonize upon their ancestral land, and may this decolonization of Indigenous Peoples’ lands from Colonial Arab-European settler-occupations continue worldwide!
There is room on this planet for Indigenous Peoples sovereign nations *and* Colonial nations for Allah-Christ-Marx dominionism and ruling supremacy upon planet Earth. Arabs-Europeans – the historic Christian-Muslim-Marxist Colonizers – don’t need to rule all of planet Earth. Just saying!
