1 Maccabees 12:20-23>20 “King Arius of the Spartans, to the high priest Onias, greetings. 21 It has been found in writing concerning the Spartans and the Jews that they are brothers and are of the family of Abraham. 22 And now that we have learned this, please write us concerning your welfare; 23 we on our part write to you that your livestock and your property belong to us, and ours belong to you. We therefore command that our envoys report to you accordingly.”Lmao wtf?
Bump
One of several reasons it's rejected from diaspora Jewish and Protestant Bibles.But it's an interesting snapshot of Hellenistic thought. Everyone believed in Greek mythology at the time, excepting maybe the Egyptians who had their own.Jews insisted only upon ruling themselves by their own LAWS. They didn't really care about origin-myths at that time. These myths could be harmonised. They weren't modern Southern Baptists.
>>18482296Yeah and the Jews and the Romans make a treaty to be sworn allies forever in 1 Maccabees as well, it's an inconvenient book for everyone
>>18482463>Jews insisted only upon ruling themselves by their own LAWS. They didn't really care about origin-myths at that time. expand on this please
>>18482296>Lmao wtf?Spartaaaa please be a good goyim and die for our revolt we are actually brothers...
>>18482666The descendants of Abraham are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
THE DORIANS WERE HEBREWS THAT FLED WESTWARD AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL.
>>18482296>>18482666Holy, KINO
>>18483294The Dorian Invasion/Return of the Heracleidae happened in 1104 BC per Eratosthenes' dating, at least a century before there ever was a united Israel.
>>18483313THAT DATE IS A CONTEMPORARY DATING; REGARDLESS OF THAT, THE DORIAN MIGRATIONS WERE STILL HAPPENING IN THE VIII CENTURY BEFORE CHRIST, PER CONTEMPORARY HISTORIANS, THEREFORE, EVEN CONSIDERING THAT THE CURRENT «OFFICIAL» CHRONOLOGY IS ACCURATE, IT WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE THAT THE DORIANS WERE ISRAELIAN HEBREWS.
>>18483322Meds now. There was never a united Israel until 1047 BC
>>18483329This is what the Real Messiah is supposed to do according to Isaiah:He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the outcasts of Israeland gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart; the hostility of Judah shall be cut off;Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah, and Judah shall not be hostile toward Ephraim.But they shall swoop down on the backs of the Philistines in the west; together they shall plunder the people of the east.They shall put forth their hand against Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites shall obey them.And the Lord will dry up the tongue of the sea of Egyptand will wave his hand over the River with his scorching windand will split it into seven channels and make a way to cross on foot;so there shall be a highway from Assyria for the remnant that is left of his people,as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.
>>18482296make sensemilitarized apartheid state as modern israel is(even with their own gazans/helots)
