Interview: Antiochus IV Epiphanes in the Jewish Tradition with Dr. Joseph Scales

Thanks to his role in the Maccabean Revolt, Antiochus IV Epiphanes of the Seleucid Empire played an important part in the history of Judaism. From the prophecies of Daniel to the histories of Josephus, Dr. Joseph Scales joins the show to talk about the perception of Antiochus IV in the Jewish literary tradition, viewed as both an incompetent ruler and great persecutor, and the prototype of the Antichrist.

White washing YAH into the likeness of Zeus The dawn of white supremacy and Christianity and Judaism,Cesar bougie, so call Jesus, The EdoMae kingdoms, 👁👃🏽👁 Romans 9;13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 1 Maccabees 3;48-53 48 and laid open the book of the law, concerning which the Gentiles were wont to inquire, seeking the likenesses of their idols. 49 And they brought the priests’ garments, and the first fruits, and the tithes: and they stirred up the Nazarites, who had accomplished their days. 50 And they cried aloud toward heaven, saying, “What will we do with these men, and where will we carry them away? 51 And your holy place is trodden down and profaned, and your priests are in heaviness and brought low. 52 And, behold, the Gentiles are assembled together against us to destroy us: you know what things they imagine against us. 53 How will we be able to stand before them, except you be our help?” ---- Some Black Hebrews excepting the image of Zeus!!! Stockholm syndrome-- 👁👃🏽👁 2 Maccabees 4;15 15 Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

It's funny how Europeans who have been obsessed with depicted Christ as white in every mosaic, painting, sculpture, film and TV show made over the last few centuries call other people obsessed for simply criticising their error in white washing Jesus😅
