You’ve filled in some gaps about my knowledge of the timeframe here. I don’t think it ever dawned on me previously how God used the construction skills of the Romans and the knowledge the Greeks brought to this region during the 400 years to facilitate the spreading of Jesus and Christianity throughout the region. It’s now much easier to understand the actions of the current day Jews and the way the Eastern European ‘Jews’ were able to influence the beliefs.

God bless you, Anon_fa_mous!🙏🙏

The Kabbalist put a lot of importance in their view of Edom/ Idomea they seem to refer to them as the gentiles but biblically Esau was the twin brother of Jacob, Abraham would have been their grandfather. Obviously though they did not worship Yahweh and worshiped idols/Satan. The later Hasmonaeans like you showed here were influenced and very close to Idomea. Herod, King of Judea and rebuilder of the (Jewish) Temple, according to Josephus and additional sources, was descended from an Idumean family who had been converted to Judaism. You can see Satans hand in it all along trying to control the opposition to the birth, life and death of Jesus. He did not see the twist in the plot though..hehe. I have been wondering some time now about second temple literature..Enoch and all the apocrypha. I have read some but it would be good to find out who those authors were etc. The same with the authors of the Masoretic Text. Keep up the good work, it is always interesting to read your take on these subjects.
