I read 1-4 Maccabees for the first time and I got to say I noticed somethings I don't think others have discussed here in depth before. Now I have heard claims that there are hidden instructions to infiltrate and destroy foreigners. I did not see it. But what I have found first and foremost is that Jews can't FUCKING STOP digging deeper into a hole! 2 Maccabees 8:20 suggests that Jews assisted Alexander the Great with his invasions!>and the time of the battle against the Galatians that took place in Babylonia, when eight thousand Jews fought along with four thousand Macedonians; yet when the Macedonians were hard pressed, the eight thousand, by the help that came to them from heaven, destroyed one hundred twenty thousand Galatians and took a great amount of plunder.Macedonians! They assisted Macedonians in Babylon! Who ruled over Babylon at the time? The Persians who helped them build their 2nd temple! Well how the fuck did that work out huh?! 200 years of occupation and their temple plundered by temple happy raiding King Antiochus IV. So they ally with Romans for their rebellion. Little do the authors of 1 and 2 Maccabees know that they are getting played in a divide and conquer scheme. Seriously 1 Maccabees is Jews and Greeks stabbing each other in the back. Jews stabbing Jews in the back. Greeks stabbing Greeks in the back. Jews and Arabs stabbing each other in the back. And Jews fellatioing Romans for an alliance against the Seleucids. Well that worked out well into the future didn't it? Just like they were fellatioing Muslims in the west until recently.
Now is something I was not expecting at all! 3 Maccabees is overtly the original Holocaust story. Set in Ptolemaic Egypt in 200 BC but with an historically inaccurate spectacle in the Hippodrome that dates it to the Roman period. Call it the Hippodromecaust if you will.Egyptian Jews are rounded up to at first be taxed then sent to forced labor before finally being sent to the Hippodrome to be exterminated. But instead of gas chambers they are to be crushed to death by drunk elephants. I am not making this up! The moral of 3 Maccabees is to fake a tragedy and survivor stories to gain sympathy. Use that sympathy to get special privileges from leaders. It works on Greeks but not on Egyptians. They literally get the king to change his mind after 3 failed attempts at getting elephants to stomp on Jews. At the end they are granted their Torah law courts completely unsupervised by the king to police Jews all the way up to imposing executions. They immediately use it to execute 350 apostate Jews who helped the government round people up.And here is where it gets interesting if you read historical contextual study guide notes. In Harper Collins this is what it says about 3 Maccabees 4:14>The entire race was to be registered individually, presumably so that no one would escape, but the process seems to be laborious. Again this may point to an original story concerned with registration rather than annihilation.Harper Collins is a Hippodromecaust denier!
I mean come on! Why would the Ptolemies hold a spectacle like Romans before it was really popular? Let alone use drunk elephants instead of drunk horses or drunk hippopotamuses. It is called the Hippodrome not the Elephatndrome! 500 elephants? Come on Philopator only had 73 war elephants at most. They were already trained to trample on people sober. Why get them drunk and also mix in frankincense into the wine?
Another thing is Edomites were called Idumeans after the Hellenistic period. A Seleucid general named Gorgias of Syrian origin was leading an army Iduneans. Because this was a person who was Hellenized and possibly mixed Jews incorrectly associate Europeans with Edomites. Even mockingly called the Governor of Idumea in the narration of 2 Maccabees 10:14. Gorgias was neither Greek or Idumean. Jews have a genocidal hatred of Greeks because of this! Over a bungling villainous henchman. Never mind that a few Greeks in the story were good.
John Hyrcanus who is the last Maccabean leader mentioned forcefully converted every Idumean after 1 Maccabees ends. Before that some had already converted to Judaism. Job was originally an Edomite story. Still an Edomite in the story. But it got into the Bible centuries prior. What is more interesting is that King Herod married John Hyrcanus great granddaughter Mariamne. Everyone of the Heshmon dynasty after him was a descendant of Esau. Converted Idumeans are briefly mentioned as one of the groups in the crowds to see Jesus in the New Testamnet. The last time they are mentioned as a distinct group was when they tried to defend the Temple in 70AD. They were fully assimilated into Judaism by then. Jews keep quoting Obadiah about Edom will be utterly destroyed. But it already happened and it was them it end up happening to. Christ the savior came to warn and guide. But they didn't listen.
You can disregard macabees it's not inspired
>>524352203Jew detected. The high priests in the story were even telling the Maccabean leaders that they were a place holder until the Messiah returns. So you can cut the crap out that it wasn't religious inspired enough. 1 Maccabees is mainly focused on the horrors of war. 2 Maccabees focuses a little more on the religious aspect of it and a little less about the war itself. 4 Maccabees is a philosophical justification for martyrdom for religion concerning the family killed 2 Maccabees. 3 Maccabees is holocoster teir, "I survived being gassed 3 times" story.
How many proto holocaust stories are there in the Bible?
>>524352203The Start of Maccabees fulfills Daniel 11. The king of the North Vs King of the South. That was Antiochus IV and Ptolemy VIII.
>>524353379Why do these retarded jews try to conflate themselves with the Hyksos. The entire OT is just a ramshackle collection of stories from around the Levant that were heavily mythologized and retrofitted to be jewish. They slapped this together as some sort of idenity like a thousand years after they became a distinct cultural group because the stupid niggers didnt even have a written language until then.
>>524354250Evolution of the Hebrew alphabet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Sinaitic_scripthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Canaanite_alphabethttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_languageHad to have been written in it's current form after David if not earlier since he and Solomon liked to write songs and poems in their spare time. Moses lived in 1400 BC at the latest. Could have wrote some of that given there were similar alphabets available that evolved into Hebrew.
>>524354888Theres pretty much zero archeaological evidence of anything distinctly jewish existing in that time period either, even though there are massive amounts of evidence of every other civilization. It seems more likely Christianity and Judaism evolved in tandem around 0 AD
>>524353379Just checked. The only part in the Bible is the last one numbered 51. It is Exodus 1:22. A German anon posted this and I didn't realized until now. Is this in the Koran or Talmud?
