How essential is Anti-Roman sentiment (hatred of the empire that fell in 1453) and anything related to it to Judaism?
>>18509438Very, they still cry about being suppressed by Titus and Hadrian and have to cope by going “um ackshually the Roman Empire doesn’t exist anymore while we still do, therefore we won.”
>>18509438The Book of Revelation is widely misunderstood.>Judea was occupied by Rome during the advent of Christianity in the 1st century.>Those Jews who resisted Roman rule were killed while those who gave in where spared.>Slaves were marked on the hands and condemned men were marked on the head by Roman authorities - which is where the idea of the "Mark of the Beast (Nero)" comes from.Nero is the Beast (Satan) of Revelation.>When you actually look at the original text, you'll see that in this passage, the letters of 666 are actually written in Hebrew, which places a higher significance on numbers meaning words and words meaning numbers than ancient Greek. The writer was very clearly trying to tell us something.>And sure enough, if you translate the Hebrew spelling of 666, you actually spell out Neron Kesar - the Hebrew spelling of Nero Caesar.>Even if you take the alternative spelling of the number of the beast, which has been found in several early Biblical texts as being written 616, you can translate that out as being Nero Cesar.It could only be a coincidence if just 666 or 616 could be translated out to Nero's name, but not both.
>>18509438They destroyed the Celtic druids. Fuck them
>>18509464they're right, romutts are no more and their supposed descendants are mystery meat rapebabies
>>18509438Strange. You would think that Hitler would have taken the role of the bad guy.>>18509530I think that was because the Druids were a major power centre in Britain and Gaul, and did not go along with the Romans. I'm not sure if the Roman Empire was ever able to really destroy the Druidic Order though, because the Druids could just meet in secret.
>>18509438Judaism in its current form was shaped by the Romans, so a little. But the idea Jews have some sort of uniform, unending vendetta against the roman empire (and by extension, Christians, Germans, etc.) is fan-fiction. It's my personal opinion that a lot of Talmudic Aggadah actually expresses a frustrated desire to have the Roman empire become Jewish.It's a bit like Chritianity and Judaism, or even Christianity and Greco-Roman Paganism.>>18509465But my Yid in HaShem, Nero was Jewish.>>18509587Hitler wasn't around during the formative period of the (current) Jewish faith.
>>18509438The hebrews still go to Rome and post photos of their seething about an event that happened in 70 ad.
>>18509534Rome destroyed your temple, crushed you so hard even your god abandoned the field, scattered you to the winds, essentially wiped you out genetically so much that the most relation you can hope to have with an ancient Jew is around 50%.Meanwhile, Rome still stands as one of the oldest continuously populated cities in world history. The Romans still exist in through modern day Italians, their engineering feats which are still used to this day, and the peoples they influenced.What have the Jews done, other than ride the coattails of superior civilizations they could never create?
>>18509438>>18509464Isn't the reason Titus and Hadrian went sicko mode on the Jews that they revolted all the time and killed like a hundred thousand civilians.
>>18509438The Jews are the foot stool of Empire, basically. The whole OT is cope about this simple fact.
>>18509864Judea fought for a world where nations are free to determine their course themselves, against the homogenizing imperialism of Rome. The Judeans were heroes.
