    Great video, you forgot to mention Herod was involved in the opium trade with Rome as shown on his coins. The Great Revolt was as much a Jewish civil war as it was a revolt against Rome. A significant portion of the population was JudaeoRoman at the time and were trapped in Jerusalem by zealots. Judaea was not a backwater province. Josephus records the whole of Galilee was cultivated. The architecture in many ways rivaled that of Rome itself. The wealth of Judaea saved the Roman Empire from bankruptcy. Vespasian built the Colosseum from the Second Temple loot and slaves. There is more to the story than Josephus records.

    You speak too fast. Speak slowly so we can figure out things properly.
    While we are listening, we also process many things in the mind and try to connect that with other facts we have known in the past. So narration like machine gun fire is difficult to follow.
    There is a couple of other things I would like clarified.
    " That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates" Gen. 15:18
    So this should include the whole of the modern day Arabian peninsula.
    Judea was the territory given to just one tribe, Judah, out of all the eleven who were given land. So which is the land that was given to the other 10 tribes? It should be the Arabian peninsula.
    Which means the present day Arab's ancestors were Hebrews, descents of Abraham the common patriarch of both Arabs and Jews

    It was only the Western part of the Roman Empire that fell in 476 AD, the East remained until 1453. But the control over Judea still lasted until the 7th century (it was taken by the Sassanids Persians and the arabs after)

  • @MrJoebrooklyn1969

    The Roman Empire of which the Jews lived under did not fall in 476 AD. In 323 AD the new Emperor, Constantine, moved the capital of Rome from Rome to an old Greek city state called Byzantium. Here he built Constantinople. In 390 AD, due to political differences, the Roman Empire split between the Western Roman Empire and The Eastern Roman Empire. In 476 AD the Western Roman Empire fell but the Eastern Roman Empire continued but historians call it The Byzantine Empire even thought they did not call themselves this. Palestine would continue to be under Eastern Roman Empire control until the Muslims invaded sometime after 634 AD. It would then be under the control of the Muslim Caliphate, the last being the Ottoman Empire which was carved up by the Allies after World War I due to their alliance in the war with German and Austria-Hungary. Palestine would fall under the British mandate until 1947 when it was supposed to be given over to the United Nations when the Jews declared independence and where then subsequently attacked by other Arab nations until the Jews won and established Israel.

    The title baʿal was a synonym in some contexts of the Hebrew adon ("Lord") and adonai ("My Lord") still used as aliases of the Lord of Israel Yahweh. According to some scholars, the early Hebrews did use the names Baʿal ("Lord") and Baʿali ("My Lord") in reference to the Lord of Israel, just as Baʿal farther north designated the Lord of Ugarit or Lebanon.

    Reference to Herod but it’s not so great and the decline of Rome during the war with Mexico and the United states 1846 in opposition to what was considered the “unjust war”:
    Have the histories of the ruin of Greek and Roman liberty consequent on such extensions of empire by sword no lesson for us? Many men have achieved the title and have been called great, but most have been great in crime and blood; an Alexander the Great , a Pompey the great , a Ceasar, a Herod, a Louis, a Henry, a Frederic, a Charles, a Bonaparte, a Houston. They were great in many things ; great, perhaps, in ability, great in resolution of will, great in means of influence, and striking in their results; but little in the elements of a truly great character; little in honesty, in truth, in love, mean, selfish, crafty, cruel, and implacable. They have been willing to sacrifice any amount of human life or happiness, to secure their end, and be accounted the greatest. But how poor the honor, how blood-stained the glory! How many death-pangs it has taken to refine their thrill of pleasure, how many tears to water their garlands of victory, how much human gore to dye their purple robes of royalty! What curses have loaded their names on earth, what awful memories must haunt them in the world of spirits! It was when the Pretorian Guards of Rome bore the emperor into office by their despotic will, that the mistress of nations began to decline. And when, in any nation, the glorious gifts of Christian statesmanship, and ripe experience, and large converse among men, and a life-time of civil services to one's country and the world, are postponed and set aside for “the conquering hero," the Genius of rational, heaven-descended Liberty is already meditating her departure to some more congenial clime. We want civilians, not swordsmen; Catos, not Caesars, nor Syllas at the head of Christendom, Christian American and nations. We must show them how much greater in reality Jesus, the well-beloved of the Father, was in washing his disciples' feet, than Xerxes riding forth at the head of his army to lay waste the fairest countries with fire and sword, Jesus dying in ignominy on the cross, than Caesar making a triumphal procession into Rome with the spoils and captives of vanquished kingdoms. 'They have wandered back into the
    desolated Pantheon, and there, amongst the Polytheistic relics of that " pale mother of dead empires," they have found a God whom these Romans, centuries gone by, baptized, "Terminus". We have seen the end of him and his empire. Whoever would know the further fate of the Roman Diety, so recently taken under the bosom of American Democracy, may find ample gratification of his curiosity, in the luminous pages of the historical accounts of "Gibbons Decline and Fall of Rome". For What Rome was in her decline, America was in her infancy! Such will find that Rome thought as you now think, it was her destiny to conquer and divide nations, and no doubt she sometimes says as you do now "I will conquer a peace!". And where now is she, the once omnipotent Rome, Mistress of the World? And it needs no prophet's eye to read, in the future, the impartial condemnation of history. There we shall be defeated, without doubt and without help, No matter however successful we may be in blowing up Mexican cities and dispersing Mexican armies! Sermons, which are now before us, were preached both on the Rio Grande, and at the city of Mexico before the troops, justifying the war, talking largely of the " Anglo Saxon destiny." Comparing the progress of the American arms with the entrance of the children of Israel into the land of Canaan, and giving the sanctions and benedictions of Christianity to the awful wrongs and barbarities of one of the most cruel, sanguinary, and demoralizing wars on record!" But if the period ever arrives to when the second largest republic on earth, Mexico, and by far the most hopeful and consistent one besides our own is blotted out of the record of nations and becomes the “Poland of the west” we shall be condemned in the eyes of heaven and our own as authors to such tremendous a catastrophe! - From the War with Mexico Reviewed, Abiel Abbott Livermore 1845, American Peace Society
