15. Manasseh and the End of the Assyrian Empire

The last and greatest king of the Assyrian Empire was Ashurbanipal, who left the vast library that was eventually discovered by Austen Henry Layard. He also captured the Jewish king Manasseh and kept him in chains, only reinstating him to his royal throne after his repentance for his sinful and idolatrous practices.

Excellent conclusion Bruce, as the Psalms says that sons are like arrows in the quiver of a mighty man Ps 127:4 & 5, an archer will give the arrow direction as he points it to where he wants it to go, so, correct instruction and example are essential, the value of such guidance is found at Proverbs 22:6, although what is in our hearts gets revealed. The reason why Manasseh was restored to his kingship was because he repented and JEHOVAH had mercy upon him, so it was no mystery why he got restored, but as you observed, the damage had already been done, it was irreversible. Very informative videos Bruce, thank you very much.

(This is quoted from our forthcoming book 'Ethics, Morality and Business' to be published by Palgrave-Macmillan.) Some of the Aryans after leaving India, entered Babylon, Assyria and Egypt. They are called Panis in Rig Veda. Most of them settled in Asia Minor (Historians History of the World, 1902). Rig Veda mentioned them as great navigators using Satarika Nau (a ship with 100 oars). Original people of Assyria were not Semitic. Before 4000 BC, Southern Babylon was the original home of the Sumerians from India and Northern Babylon originally came from central Asia. Modern name Mesopotamia came from the original Madhya Vedi, according to the Historians History of the World (Vol 1 and 2, 1902). One of the most famous King of Babylon was Asur Bani Pal, a pure Sanskrit name. Both Hittite and Mitranis used to speak Indo-European language. Their gods were Vedic gods. HR Hall, curator of the British Museum wrote (Hall, 1939), “The ethnic type of the Sumerians so strongly marked in their statues and relief was as different from those of the races which surround them as was their language from those of the Semites; they were decidedly Indian in type. The face type of the average Indian of today is no doubt much the same as that of his race ancestors thousands of years ago. And it is by no means improbable that the Sumerians were an Indian race. It was in the Indian home, perhaps the Indus valley; we suppose for them, that their culture developed. There their writings may have invented and progressed from a purely pictorial to a simplified and abbreviated from which afterwards in Babylonia took on its peculiar cuneiform appearance owing to its being written with a square ended stylus on soft-clay. There is little doubt that India must have been one of earliest centres of human civilization and it seems natural to suppose that the strange un-Semitic people who came from the East to civilise the West were of Indian origin, especially when we see with our eyes how very Indian the Sumerians were in type”. There were linguistic and ethnic resemblance between the Sumerians and the Dravidians, people from South India. Both Rig Veda and Mahabharata mentioned the Deva-Asura war, which lasted 32 years in which Devas, the Aryans of North India, driven other tribes. In both Harappa and Babylon an unknown script was discovered, demonstrating close connection between the Indus valley and Babylon. Woolley in Ur found a similar seal with a very early cuneiform inscription (Woolley, 1929). Indus culture is older than Sumerian and Egyptian culture (Hall, 1939, 1928). According to the Puranas, the Sumerians were driven out by Rudra to shores of the western sea. The two brothers Vritra and Bala, with their Aryan followers settled in ancient Persia and Mesopotamia respectively. The Panis, allies of the Asuras, were also ousted and they settled down on the shore of the Levant sea, according to the Puranas. Mazumdar (1917) thought it was in 2800 BC but according to the latest research it can be before 9000 BC. Their capital was Tyre. Indra led the Aryans to Apa, modern Afghanistan. Vritra made a treaty with Indra and founded his capital in Babylon. However, according to Rig Veda, Indra broke that treaty and killed Varitra. Indra then went to East Europe and killed sons of Varashika of the Vrichivat clan ( Rig Veda, V, VI, 27, 5). Thus, Russia, East Europe, Greece, West Asia, Mesopotamia, Persia, Afghanistan and India were filled by these Aryans. German historian A.H.L Heeren, Professor of History in the University of Gottingen believed in the Indian origin of the Egyptian civilization. According to him, in the Historians History of the World, vol1, p, p198, and p200 and in the History of Ancient Civilizations, published from the Gottingen University in 1799, skulls of the ancient Egyptians and ancient Indians have close resemblance. It might mean that the Egyptians had one day been emigrants from India. Egyptians were divided into castes similar to India. The early Aryan name of Egypt was Ekantina, a country that worship one supreme being in the very ancient time. According to James Todd (1920), “ …from ancient Ethiopia, Egypt had her civilized institutions and that the Ethiopians were of Indian origin”. Homer also called the Indians as eastern Ethiopians (Mazumdar, 1917, p1). Recently Max Plank Institute in Jena and the University of Tubingen examined the 3500 years old mummies from Egypt and found out the DNA of the ancient Egyptians are not related to the people of Sub-Saharan Africa but are related to ancient people of Anatolia, who were originally from India (edition.cnn.com/2017/06/22/health/ancient-egypt-mummy-dna).

[@EasternRomeOrthodoxy]

Wrong. You got it all mixed up and all wrong...🤦‍♂️The Aryan/Iranian race (R1,R2, R1a-z93...) is Madai and never settled in anatolia. Those who did were the Cimmerians (Gomer) = Celts (Riphat) and Phrygians (Togarma) with invasions from Scythians (Ashkenaz). The Scythians were descendants of the Cimmerian race (Gomer) Ashkenaz, who came originally from north Siberia, and were the race of the Finnic peoples (haplogroup N), which many of their tribes were Turkified in later times (Cumans, Pechenegs, Sakha). The other Cimmerian races were Riphat - Celts (haplogroup R1b-L51), and Togarma - Phrygians (haplogroup R1b-M269). He couldn't tell you that, but I have the most accurate, detailed perfect interpretation of the Table of nations. The original people of Assyria WERE the Assyrians (haplogroup J2a) - the majority population of Iraq, while Sumerians and Akkadians were driven out by them in early times, and they migrated to India and far east, creating the Dravidian, Oceanic and Melanesian peoples

[@thomasrhodes5013]

Sennacherib just left with his army and neither the Egyptians of the defending forces in Jerusalem took credit for a victory. This seems odd, it is odd in light of the records as Sennacherib went on offensive a year later. I am not sure about the Biblical numbers or the Egyptian rationale accounting for Sennacherib's departure. However, I would believe that something happened to demoralize Assyrian forces morale to the degree they were no longer deemed effective and so were ordered to depart. It might be the result of Divine administrative agenda.

They have forgotten the role of the Asiatic Scytes in the Mede's defeat of Assyrein. These Scythians were allied with the Assyrians, even related by marriage. But then they turned their backs on Assyria and used media to ensure Assria's defeat. The Assyrians fled to Asia Minor. Diodorus II, 43:6. wrote: 2 The Assyrians were "removed to the land between Paphlagonia and Pontus after the collapse of Nineveh " : Also in Persia in Khorasan , there were still Assyrians.🤠

One or more of the dispersed Northern tribes may have assimilated with some of the descendants of Japeth that dwelled on the steppes. This is why they came to the aid of Judah and to take revenge upon the Assyrians who had conquered and relocated them. The Sythians were very fierce; but they were very adept in the working of gold. As well they would not eat pork or even allow the raising of pigs in their territory.

[@EasternRomeOrthodoxy]

🤺☦🇷🇺Those tribes were already found long ago, and they are today's Jews who belong to haplogroup J1e, as Arabs and all Abrahamic descendants.

[@robinhoodstfrancis]

Dear soul, if you use the term "genetics," you are referring to scientific terminology and its insights into God´s Created Universe. Bruce may have been on the phone with the archeologists, and that alone means acknowledging that Biblical fundamentalism is out of touch with Jesus´ very legacy. I might also refer to William Lane Craig on that point. Craig uses advanced physics in making his Kalam Cosmological argument. I might recommend Alister McGrath of Oxford, or even John Lennox, who both demonstrate the importance of a greater reliance on a modern perspective. Having a degree in Bio Anthropology from Harvard, I suggest paying attention to Craig´s argument about Jesus´ Resurrection. And spiritual experience. They both imply that what followed Jesus was spectacular, and Christian history leads up to monastic schools and how Christians turned those into modern Universities. While secular and scientific materialists have created a bunch of messes for themselves, any Christian can put on Jesus´-colored glasses. It means recognizing Jesus´ legacy in learning, however, that shifts the meaning of various things in the Old Testament. God didn´t leave the Asians and AFricans out of the picture. They have many qualities that those of us in Christian Western Civilization need to learn, especially Buddhism. There is also Taoism and tai chi, Hinduism and yoga, and African drumming and dance, along with various forms of wisdom they have that Christianity either lacks or has missed. That´s part of what studying Anthropology can help with, along with Human Evolution.

Why does Assyrian alphabets look so much like Hebrew? What is their connection?

[@GoreBruce]

The Assyrians (and others in Mesopotamia) used Cuneiform, which was not a language, but an alphabet. There is little connection to Hebrew. A more similar script is found in Aramaic, which bears some similarity to Hebrew, and began to be used in the Babylonian era.

[@tobystewart4403]

​@@GoreBruce With respect, Cuneiform never evolved to an alphabet, but was rather only ever a syllabry. Ugarit script and Phonecian were the first alphabets we know of, and these evolved from the Cuneiform scripts that were in use throughout the whole region. The idea that "hebrew" ever existed as some independent language group is very hard to reconcile with the fairly clear linguistic patterns in language evolution. That is to say, there are many real mysteries concerning the origin of many languages and scripts. "Hebrew" is not one of these mysteries. We know where it came from, we know how it has been altered. We know all about the folks who invented it, and what happened to them, and what happened to all the folks around them. Judea was just a hillside in the region between Egypt and Babylon. Hebrew is nothing more than a modern reconstruction of a theoretical language, using authentic scripts from the time and region. There are no old testament texts in Hebrew. They are all written in Greek. Even in the letter of Arteas, the scribe refers to YAHWEH three times as "Zeus". Our bible is a very, very important sacred text. it was constructed to spread the faith and gospel of Christ. Nobody was ever supposed to pretend that they were one of the characters in the book. When the bible was written, there weren't any "jews" left. They were a character in a book. A christian book. In my view, Christians can very easily get way off message by trying to imagine that the characters in the book containing Christs gospel are real, let alone that they survive to this day, somehow. Just because someone says they are a character in a book, it doesn't make it so. We are not Christians because we choose to identify with characters in a book. We are Christians by our conduct. Our conduct betrays what we really believe, and whether we have truly come to follow the teachings of the character in the book. Once a soul has come to christ, it cannot be denied the kingdom of heaven, by disproving this or that about characters in a book. Once a soul has come to christ, the body it inhabits begins to behave a certain way, to do its duty a certain way. Jesus does not live in a book. He lives in the sword held by christian soldiers who protect the weak, in the mercy shown by Christian judges who punish the wicked, and by the love of chrsitian mothers for all children. In christ we find a teacher of conduct and values. Let us not be distracted by characters in books, even while we enjoy the discussion of them.

Collosians 3:11: “Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.” The scythians were not barbarians and even Herodotus says so. Also, the Schythians were israelites, of the tribe of Manasseh to be precise. The Massagetae came down the Caucasus Mountains revenge against the Assyrians and the oppresors of Israel, thus they did during Assyrian rule against Sîn-šar-iškun, thus they did once more during Persia's expansion against Cyrus the great. One more thing, Scythopolis which was a bronze age settlement lays on the land of Israel.

🤺☦🇷🇺The Scythians were descendants of the Cimmerian race (Gomer) Ashkenaz, who came originally from north Siberia, and were the race of the Finnic peoples (haplogroup N), which many of their tribes were Turkified in later times (Cumans, Pechenegs, Sakha). The Chaldeans are the descendants of Arpaxshad - ancestors of Abraham as well. Those specific Chaldeans of Babylon we're talking about, though, are non other the the Kassites - the descendants of Abraham's brother Nahor's son Keshed

(At 27:40) Cross dressing isn't funny and that you told the kids is very debase. You should repent and delete this video and remake it. Imho :(

[@GoreBruce]

Thank you for that. For what it's worth, the humor was not directed as cross-dressing as such, which I agree is no laughing matter, but at the fact that months later, it was the detail regarding Saracus that was remembered most readily by the students.
