Theodice's Movement to the River Jordan

Theodice led a movement to the River Jordan where he announced that he would separate the river, thereby allowing people to pass through it. This is one of these millenarian type social movements because it envisages radical transformation of the current age into a new age via dramatic actions and divine intervention. Theodice was tapping into well-known Jewish traditions about Moses partying the Red Sea to deliver his people to freedom. And you know, as James mentioned with John the Baptist, he has a conflict with Herod, at least according to the gospels,. But the criticism was to do with the loose sexual morals or the loose morals of those elite and power of Herod.
