Antiochus Epiphanes—The Bible’s Most Notoriously Forgotten Villain

[irosie91]

Up until 1973 there were lots of Jews in Libya, Morocco, Iran, Iraq etc. European Zionism changed that.

oh gee "EUROPEAN ZIONISM" ----another idiot islamo-nazi meme. I have no idea from
whence the year 1973 emerged ---it must have some significance in the minds of islamo nazis. In fact, each of the countries mentioned have different histories regarding jews but
regarding zionism----the jews who left them are more ZIONISTIC than are the
European Jews and have been zionistic even before the rapist pig of mecca was
born. ----Jews of Libya were relatively safe while ITALY controlled that land---they were
on the run about 1950 despite their presence since before the pig was born. Morocco---
was ---compared to the REICHS of the holy Roman empire----safer than INQUSITION
land. Iran's jews were ALREADY THERE before the tragic arab invasions---same is true
of Iraq----but still lots fled to INDIA---particularly Bombay where jews I know speak hebrew,
"iraqi arabic"----and---URDU. Suradie's fave jew of all time ITAMAR BEN GVIR is of Iraqi
background. My hubby was rescued by his parents from the shariah shit hole, Yemen.
There were no Europeans there when they started their escape---probably about 1935.
His community predated islam by more than 1000 years----all have fled. For real history,
they are vital------just about 100% male literacy in a sea of muzzie illiteracy. Someday
excavations in arabia will elucidate lots of REAL HISTORY

Yemen briefly had a Jewish king who burned thousands of Christians at Najran.

Not much of a Jewish presence until the first century.

I notice you're making claims on more land in the Middle East.

I notice that you are citing an arab legend AGAIN. There is no question that
the jews of Yemen and the christians of Ethiopia engaged in some tribal strife.
Then ISLAM happened and that unfortunate circumstance ended the christian
presence in both Yemen and today's Saudi Arabia----and finally the jewish presence
in both Yemen and "saudi arabia"----and even the zoroastrian presence---MAZEL
TOV for allah. "....claims on more land in the Middle east.." Of course not----
ALL of the Middle East and South East Asia and France and the IBERIAN PENNINSULA. Jewish presence in Yemen dates back ----more like 1000 years BCE---it, certainly,
predates the existence of the rapist pig of arabia

I don't recall making any claims on land in the Middle east--BUT surada has introduced an interesting point By what means is it valid to 'make a claim' on land.
I own a small house with a bit of land in the USA----I bought it.
Unfortunately I opened to this post AGAIN!!! In 1948 Yemen had a muslim king.
Islam did not even exist until about 1500 years ago----by then jews had lived in
arabia for about 1500 years---arabia back then being what is today YEMEN and
SAUDI ARABIA. How did arabia become what it is today---which is, exclusively, MUSLIM ......ie only muslims are citizens. What happened to the christians and
zoroastrians?

Nestorian Christians lived in Tarut Island and Najran. Small numbers of Jews migrated from Jericho after the Babylonian exile.

He wasn't the abomination of Desolation. He defiled the temple.

1973? Another war.

 

[irosie91]

1973? Another war.

you forgot?---It was in 1973 that the glorious Ummah decided to attack
Israel right smack on You Kippur day---
out of the elegance of koranic courtesy.
It was a bloody mess

The temple wasn't destroyed by Arabs. It was destroyed in the Jewish war with Rome.

Many Christians ignore Antiochus IV and the Maccabean Revolt.. or the first Abomination of Desolation.

Antiochus Epiphanes—The Bible’s Most Notoriously Forgotten Villain

One name has escaped the attention of biblical pop culture even though his actions are arguably worse than many of his peers: Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

www.biblicalarchaeology.org

Hanukah is the story of the Jewish revolt against Antiochus

Many names come to mind when someone mentions the great “villains” of the Bible. Some are foreign powers, like the Pharaoh of the Exodus or King Nebuchadnezzar, and some are even native Israelites, such as King Saul and King Ahab. The great villains in the era of the New Testament and the Early Church often took the form of great persecutors, including King Herod the Great and the Roman emperors Nero and Domitian. These names have gone on to become historically infamous, with many immortalized on stage and screen. There is, however, one name that has escaped the attention of biblical pop culture even though his actions, arguably, are worse than many of his villainous peers: Antiochus IV Epiphanes.

In the time between the return of Jewish exiles and the rise of the Roman emperors, the land of Judea was caught between two ruling powers: the Seleucid Kingdom of Syria in the north and Ptolemaic Egypt in the south. These kingdoms, both successors of Alexander the Great’s broken empire, warred with each other for more than a century while the Jewish nation sat at the crossroads. (An account of these relations, seen through the lens of prophetic visions, can be found in Daniel 11.)

Throughout most of this period, Judea remained in the periphery and was left alone. However, when Antiochus IV came to power c. 170 B.C.E., the Jewish people did not readily fit into the vision he had for his new empire. Embracing a form of imperial colonialism, Antiochus sought to bring about a sense of cultural uniformity in the hope of creating more socioeconomic stability. This included embracing the Hellenistic way of life and the worship of the Greek pantheon, especially Zeus. By taking the epitaph Epiphanes (“God Manifest”), Antiochus even claimed to be Zeus incarnate. Many of the pagan nations embraced and welcomed these policies, but in the land of Judea they caaused a cultural civil war, notably among members of the high priestly families. In the midst of this turmoil, according to the books of Maccabees and the Jewish historian Josephus, Antiochus plundered the Jerusalem Temple and carried off the sacred vessels—to help finance his campaigns.

the remnants of the Temple itself as well as MOUNT MORIAH---have been defiled by the minions of the rapist of mecca. The mount AND the remnants of the Temple are and were a holy site for jews when the muzzie dogs invaded, raped, murdered and pillaged, 636 AD on top of the disaster that had already been wrought by Romans in the first century AD and later AGAIN by the vulgar dogs of the HOLEY roman empire in the 11 th century AD----the history is simple. I am surprised that your head is restricted to the classic comic version---sheeeeesh another person educated by comic
books. Do you remember superman's baby name and those of his parents?

What remnants? When Omar arrived it was the city dump.

wrong----the fact that the RUINS thereof existed is well documented in
the writings of the SCHOLARS hiding out in the holy cities---Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed and T'veria---the writings are extensive----the muslims who trashed the place and the people and the crusaders who trashed and murdered were ILLITERATE---but the jews were not. So much documented history is neglected in Jelly bean school. It is no coincidence that the catholic church was so EAGER to burn books

^^^^ islamo nazi meme---"we attack, destroy, murder, pillage
and enslave according to shariah law as CREATED BY ALLAH"
Keep in mind---muslims were DESPERATE to build a huge
mosque on the SITE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WTC-----
same "LAW" In islamic law---any site upon which a mosque
is built is "MUSLIM LAND FOREVER"

No . Remember the emperor who tried to rebuild the temple about 300 AD? Emperor Julian.

why? The mount and remnants of the Temple were and remain
a holy jewish site----just as the remnants of the TEMPLE OF RAMA
in Ayodhya remained a holy site to Hindus despite the defilement of
of the BABRY MOSQUE built on top by the mass murderer---Barbur
