Finishing the 10th chapter – and beginning the 11th. First, the dispute between the sages and Rabbi Shimon for the details and timing of execution for someone who speaks to others to get them to violate the Torah. With idolatry being its own (worse) case. But can those false prophets perform miracles, prophesy, etc., and they then malign it, or are they just lying or deceiving throughout? Onwards to chapter 11 – to the principle of the World to Come, in which every Jew has a portion, except for those who do not. Plus, the principle of faith that is the “resurrection of the dead,” with all the questions that entails. Also, using Torah or prophecy as magic incantations – that flies in the face of God’s Torah to begin with. Plus, those personalities who serve as the basis of discussion for these matters – including who is forgiven and who is at risk of losing that portion in the World to Come. Also, historical personalities – including Romans – asking how we know that there is a World to Come from the Torah to begin with? With verses as hints to the answers.
