<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In the first vision, King Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon were portrayed as the HEAD OF GOLD.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In the Daniel 7 vision, <span style="color: cyan;"><u>King Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon are portrayed as a LION WITH EAGLE'S WINGS</u></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> If one has read Daniel 3, remember how King Nebuchadnezzar WAS given the heart of a beast, and ate grass for seven years(times)?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: magenta;"><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=daniel+3&version=KJV">DANIEL 3</a></span> </h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven
from men, and did eat </span></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">grass</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> as </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">oxen</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and his body was wet with the dew

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> King Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon very well does describe the first beast in DANIEL 7:4 whose wings were plucked and his heart was humbled before God, <strong><u>but we STILL DON'T KNOW much about the other 3 KINGDOMS</u></strong>. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
It frightened the King so much, that his knees began to shake.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">6 <strong>Then the king's </strong></span><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">countenance</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> was changed, and <span style="color: cyan;">his thoughts </span></span><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">troubled</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">knees</span></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: cyan;"> smote one against another</span></strong>. </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The King calls for all of the "wise" men, <u><strong>but not one is able to read what is written</strong></u>, <strong>EXCEPT DANIEL!</strong></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">7 <strong>The king </strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>cried</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> aloud to bring in the astrologers,
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers.</strong> [And] the king spake, and said to the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">wise</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> [men] of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Babylon</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">8 <strong>Then came in all the king's </strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>wise</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> [men]: but they could not read the
writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.</strong> </span></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="9"><span style="font-size: x-large;">

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> When no one could interpret the writing upon the wall, King Belshazzar became so frightened that everyone around him was amazed by how frightened he really was.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">9 <span style="color: cyan;">Then was king </span></span><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Belshazzar</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> greatly </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">troubled</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and his </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">countenance</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: cyan;"> was changed in him, and his
lords were astonied</span>. </span></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="10"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">
</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> When the Queen heard of King Belshazzar's fright, she told the King that Daniel could interpret the writing upon the wall.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">10 [Now] the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">queen</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into
the banquet </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">house</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">: [and] the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">queen s</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">pake and said, <u><em><strong>O king, </strong></em></u></span><u><em><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">live</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> for ever: let not thy thoughts </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">trouble</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> thee, nor let thy </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">countenance</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> be changed: </span></strong></em></u></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="11"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">

whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">father</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, the king, [I say], thy </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">father</span></u></strong></em></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><em><strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">, </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">made master of the magicians,</span><u>

</span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">knowledge</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and understanding,
interpreting of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">dreams</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and shewing
of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom
the king named </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Belteshazzar</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">: <strong><em>now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> So Daniel was brought in to King Belshazzar.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. [And] the king spake and said
unto Daniel, <u><em><strong>[Art] thou that Daniel, which [art] of the </strong></em></u></span><u><em><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">children</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">captivity</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Judah</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, whom the king my </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">father</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> brought out of Jewry? </span></strong></em></u></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="14"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> King Belshazzar tells Daniel that he has heard of Daniel's excellent wisdom.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Then King Belshazzar tells Daniel that none of the "wise" men can read, much less interpret the writing on the wall.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">15 <u><em><strong>And now the </strong></em></u></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><em><strong>wise</strong></em></u></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><em><strong> [men], the astrologers, have been

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Then King Belshazzar says that if Daniel can interpret the writing upon the wall, the King would make Daniel two steps below King.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">16 <strong><u><em>And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make

make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">clothed</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> with </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">scarlet</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and [have] a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">chain</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">gold</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> about thy </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">neck</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and shalt be the third </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">ruler</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> in the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">kingdom</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="17"><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">

</span></a><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king,

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Daniel goes on to interpret the writing upon the wall for King Belshazzar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">23 <strong><em><span style="color: cyan;"><u>But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven</u></span></em></strong>; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy

</span></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="24"></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="24"><br />
</a><span style="color: #3d85c6;">24 <strong>Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was
written</strong>. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="25"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">25 <strong>And this [is] the writing that was written, <span style="color: cyan;">MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN</span></strong>. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="26"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br />
<br />
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">26 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>MENE;</strong>
<strong><em><u>God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it</u></em></strong>.</span> </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="27"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">27 </span><span style="color: cyan;"><strong>TEKEL;</strong> <u><em><strong>Thou art weighed in the balances, and art
found wanting</strong></em></u>. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="28"><span style="color: cyan;">
</span></a><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span><br />
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">28 <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>PERES;</strong> <strong><u><em>Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the
Medes and Persians</em></u></strong>.</span> </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="29"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br />
<br />
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation
concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="30"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span><br />
<br /><span style="color: cyan;">30 <strong><u>In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans
slain</u></strong>. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="31"><span style="color: cyan;">
</span></a><br /><span style="color: cyan;">
<br />
<br />31 <strong><u>And Darius the Median took the kingdom</u></strong>, [being] about threescore and
two years old. <br />
</span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong> So, according to the TESTIMONY of DANIEL, it is written that <em><span style="color: #bf9000;">the Medes and Persian's would become the SECOND of <u>THE FOUR WORLDLY KINGDOMS</u></span></em>.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Is this not THE TESTIMONY OF DANIEL?<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: lime;">A VERY IMPORTANT POINT that should be NOTED for future understanding;</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">is the fact that there was <b><i><u>an IMMEDIATE transfer of power</u></i></b> from the FIRST BEAST to the SECOND BEAST.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">And as we will soon discover;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-there was </span><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><i><u>an IMMEDIATE transfer of power</u></i></b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">from the SECOND BEAST to the THIRD BEAST.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />And<b><i><u> the SAME FACT HOLDS TRUE REGARDING THE TRANSFER OF POWER to the 4th Dreadful Beast</u>!</i></b><br /><br /><br /><br />When the 3rd Beast was removed from WORLD SUPERPOWER status;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">-<b><i><u>the 4th Beast IMMEDIATELY FILLED the role of 4th Dreadful FINAL WORLDLY kingdom</u>.</i></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />But that is just a little ahead of where we are right now in the TESTIMONY of our FIVE WITNESS'S.</span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Will our next witness; DOCUMENTED HUMAN HISTORY, prove the truthfulness of DANIEL'S TESTIMONY?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In next post, <u>DANIEL'S TESTIMONY WILL IDENTIFY the THIRD BEAST</u> / KING / KINGDOM <u>BY NAME</u>!<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">1 <strong>In the third year of the reign of
king Belshazzar</strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> <u>a vision appeared
unto me, [even unto] me Daniel</u>, after that which appeared unto me at the first.</span> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> DANIEL TESTIFIES that in the vision he saw a RAM WITH TWO HORNS.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">3 Then <strong><span style="color: cyan;">I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood
before the river a ram which had
[two] horns</span></strong>: <u><strong>and the [two] horns [were] high; but one [was] higher
than the other, and the higher came up last</strong></u>. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="4"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="4"><br /></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;">4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and
southward; so that no beasts might
stand before him, neither [was there any] that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will,
and became great. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="5"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong> DANIEL TESTIFIES that while he was considering the RAM, he saw A HE GOAT WITH ONE NOTABLE HORN</strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">5 <strong><span style="color: cyan;">And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of
the whole earth, and touched not the ground</span></strong>: <u><strong>and the goat [had] a notable horn between his eyes</strong></u>. </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="6"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>In DANIEL 8:6 and 8:7 we are told that the HE GOAT would fight against the RAM and defeat the RAM</strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">6 <strong>And he came to the ram that had [two] horns, which I had seen standing before
the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.</strong> </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="7">
</a><br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="7"><br /></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;">7 <strong>And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was
moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him,
but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none
that could deliver the ram out of his
hand.</strong> </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="8"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">
</span></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
DANIEL 8:8 tells us that <strong>when the HE GOAT was strong, the NOTABLE HORN / KING was broken</strong>, and <u><em>in it's place FOUR NOTABLE HORNS / KINGS / KINGDOMS would arise</em></u>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"></span><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">8 <strong>Therefore <span style="color: cyan;">the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, <u>the great horn was broken</u>; <u>and for it came up four
notable ones toward the four winds
of heaven</u></span></strong>. </span></span><br />

<strong><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> Alexander the Great (Alexander III of Macedon) <u><em>defeated the Persian armies at Granicus (334 BCE), followed by Issus (333 BCE), and lastly at Gaugamela (331 BCE</em></u>). </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #38761d;">Afterwards, he marched on Susa and Persepolis which surrendered in early 330 BCE. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> From Persepolis, Alexander headed north to Pasargadae where he visited the tomb of Cyrus, the burial of the man whom he had heard of from Cyropedia.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #38761d;">In the ensuing chaos created by Alexander the Great's invasion of Persia, Cyrus the Great's tomb was broken into and most of its luxuries were looted. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> When Alexander the Great reached the tomb, he was horrified by the manner in which the tomb was treated, and questioned the Magi, putting them to court.</span><sup> </sup></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><sup> </sup><span style="color: #38761d;">On some accounts, Alexander's decision to put the Magi on trial was more about his attempt to undermine their influence and his show of power in his newly conquered empire, than a concern for Cyrus's tomb.<sup> </sup> </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"> Regardless, Alexander the Great ordered Aristobulus to improve the tomb's condition and restore its interior, showing respect for Cyrus.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #38761d;"> </span><span style="color: #bf9000;">From there he headed to Ecbatana, where Darius III had sought refuge.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> Darius III was taken prisoner by Bessus, his Bactrian satrap and kinsman. </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> As Alexander approached, <em><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u>Bessus had his men murder Darius III and then declared himself Darius' successor</u></span></em>, as Artaxerxes V, before retreating into Central Asia <u><em>leaving Darius' body in the road to delay Alexander</em></u>, who brought it to Persepolis for an honorable funeral. </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #38761d;">Bessus would then create a coalition of his forces, in order to create an army to defend against Alexander.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> Before Bessus could fully unite with his confederates at the eastern part of the empire, <span style="color: #bf9000;">Alexander, fearing the danger of Bessus gaining control, found him, put him on trial in a Persian court under his control, and ordered his execution in a "cruel and barbarous manner"</span>.</span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: cyan;"> </span><span style="color: yellow;"><i><u>Despite having succeeded to conquer the whole of the Persian empire</u></i></span><span style="color: #38761d;">, Alexander the Great, was nonetheless unable to offer a stable alternative.</span> </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> After his death, Alexander's once massive Persian empire was broken into and succeeded by few smaller empires <em><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u>the most significant of which was the Seleucid Empire, ruled by the generals of Alexander</u></span></em> and their descendants. </span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> On either 10 or 11 June 323 BC, <u><em><span style="color: #bf9000;">Alexander died in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II</span></em></u>, in Babylon, at age 32.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">Details of the death differ slightly – Plutarch's account is that roughly 14 days before his death, Alexander entertained admiral Nearchus, and spent the night and next day drinking with Medius of Larissa.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-P75_130-0"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[</span></sup></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"> He developed a fever, which worsened until he was unable to speak.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">The common soldiers, anxious about his health, were granted the right to file past him as he silently waved at them.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Diodorus recounts that Alexander was struck with pain <span style="color: #bf9000;">after downing a large bowl of unmixed wine <u><em>in honour of Hercules</em></u></span>, and died after some agony.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">Arrian also mentioned this as an alternative, but Plutarch specifically denied this claim.</span></span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong> <span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #38761d;">Alexander's death was so sudden that when reports of his death reached Greece, they were not immediately believed.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"> <em><u>Alexander had no obvious or legitimate heir, his son Alexander IV by Roxane being born after Alexander's death</u></em>.</span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"> <strong> According to Diodorus, Alexander's companions asked him on his deathbed to whom he bequeathed his kingdom; his laconic reply was "tôi kratistôi"—"to the strongest".</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong> Arrian and Plutarch claimed that Alexander was speechless by this point, implying that this was an apocryphal story.</strong> <br />
</span><br />
<h3>
<br /><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">
<br />
Diodorus, Curtius and Justin offered the more plausible story that Alexander passed his signe ring to Perdiccas, a bodyguard and leader of the companion cavalry, in front of witnesses, thereby nominating him.<br />
</span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;"> Perdiccas initially did not claim power, instead suggesting that Roxane's baby would be king, if male; with himself, Craterus, Leonnatus, and Antipater as guardians. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
However, the infantry, under the command of Meleager, rejected this arrangement since they had been excluded from the discussion. </span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan;">After the assassination of Perdiccas in 321 BC, Macedonian unity collapsed, and <u>40 years of war between "The Successors" (<i>Diadochi</i>) ensued before the Hellenistic world settled into four stable power blocks</u>:</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Pergamos (Pergamum)</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<strong>the chief city of </strong><strong>Mysia</strong><strong>, in Asia Minor</strong><br />
<strong></strong> <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">One of the “seven churches” was planted here (Rev. 1:11; 2:17).</span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">It was noted for its wickedness, insomuch that</span> <u><strong><em>our Lord says “Satan's seat” was there</em></strong></u>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">The church of Pergamos was rebuked for swerving from the truth and embracing the doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitanes.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">Antipas, Christ's "faithful martyr," here sealed his testimony with his life.</span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">This city stood on the edge of the river Caicus, about 20 miles from the sea. </span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u><em>It is now called Bergama</em></u></strong>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Pergamos (also called Pergamon or Pergamum) was situated 60 kilometres past </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Smyrna</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> along the ancient Roman postal road.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The name means "elevation" or "exalted." </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Appropriately, the religious and cultural center of the city was on top of a conspicuous mount.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: orange;">Pergamos inherited the ancient system of sun worship from Babylon.</span></u></b> <br />
<br />
<br />
According to Revelation 2:13, Pergamos was Satan's seat. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">It was a center of ancient sun worship,</span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> and the place where the famous altar of Zeus stood on a terrace on the slopes of the mount.</span>
<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
The leader of Pergamos <b><i><u>used the same ancient title and <span class="tooltip-keyword">vestments</span> as Babylonian priests</u>.</i></b> <br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u><em><strong>The last </strong><span class="tooltip-keyword"><b>pontiff</b>(GOD DWELLING WITH HUMANS)</span><b> king</b></em></u> of Pergamos <span style="color: #6aa84f;">was Attalus III, who</span> <strong><em>bequeathed his title to Rome in 133 BC</em></strong>, <span style="color: #bf9000;">which "ended the history of Pergamum as an independent political entity</span>."<sup><a href="http://amazingdiscoveries.org/S-deception-Revelation_Pergamos_Pergamum_compromise_pagan#footnotei"><span style="font-size: x-small;">i</span></a></sup><br />

Today, the city of Bergama lies at the base of the mountain on which Pergamos once sat.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Alexander conquered the Persian Empire under its last Achaemenid dynast, Darius III, within a short time frame and died young, leaving an expansive empire of partly Hellenised culture without an adult heir. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The empire was put under the authority of a regent in the person of Perdiccas in 323 BC, and the territories were divided between Alexander's generals, who thereby became satraps, at the Partition of Babylon in 323 BC.<br />
</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Seleucus, who had been "Commander-in-Chief of the camp" under Perdiccas since 323 BC</u></b> but helped to assassinate him later, <b><i><u>received Babylonia and, from that point, continued to expand his dominions ruthlessly.</u></i></b> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Seleucus established himself in Babylon in 312 BC, the year used as the foundation date of the Seleucid Empire.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The <b>Seleucid Empire</b> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">was a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Greek-Macedonian</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Hellenistic</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> state ruled by the Seleucid dynasty founded by </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Seleucus I Nicator</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> following the carve-up of the empire created by </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Alexander the Great</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> following his death.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Bible</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> reports that the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">First Temple</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> was built in 957 BCE by </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">King Solomon</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (reigned c. 970-c. 930 BCE).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #bf9000;"><strong><em><u>As the sole place of Jewish sacrifice</u></em></strong></span>, <strong><span style="color: lime;">the Temple replaced the </span></strong></span><span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><strong>portable sanctuary</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> constructed in the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sinai Desert</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> under the auspices of Moses, <strong><span style="color: lime;">as well as local sanctuaries</span></strong>, and altars in the hills.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The First Temple was totally destroyed by the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Babylonians</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> in 586 BCE when they sacked the city.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Book of Ezra</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, construction of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Second Temple</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> was authorized by </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Cyrus the Great</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and began in 538 BCE, after the fall of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Babylonian Empire</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> the year before.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> During the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Roman occupation of Judea</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, the Temple remained under control of the Jewish people. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong><span style="color: lime;">It was later destroyed by the </span></strong></span><span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Romans</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: lime;"> in 70 CE</span></strong> during the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Siege of Jerusalem</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Despite subsequent intermittent periods of small Jewish groups offering the traditional sacrifices on the Temple Mount, <strong>the practice effectively ended</strong>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish-Roman_War"><span style="font-size: small;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish-Roman_War</span></a><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"> The <b>First Jewish–Roman War</b> (66–73 CE), sometimes called <b>The Great Revolt</b> was the first of three major rebellions by the Jews of Judaea Province (Iudaea), against the Roman Empire. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">The Great Revolt began in the year 66 CE, originated in the Greek and Jewish religious tensions</span></strong>, later escalated due to anti-taxation protests and attacks upon Roman citizens.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
According to Josephus, <strong><span style="color: cyan;">the violence</span>, which began at Caesarea in 66, <span style="color: cyan;">was provoked by Greeks sacrificing birds in front of a local synagogue</span></strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">The Roman garrison did not intervene</span></strong> and the long-standing Hellenistic and Jewish religious tensions took a downward spiral. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>In reaction, one of the Jewish Temple clerks <span style="color: #bf9000;">Eliezar ben Hanania ceased prayers and sacrifices for the Roman Emperor at the Temple</span></strong>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Protests over taxation joined the list of grievances and random attacks on Roman citizens and perceived 'traitors' occurred in Jerusalem. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">The Jewish Temple was then breached by Roman troops at the order of Roman governor Gessius Florus</span></strong>, <span style="color: cyan;">having seventeen <i>talents</i> removed from the treasury of the Temple, claiming the money was for the Emperor</span>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>In response to this action, <span style="color: #bf9000;">the city fell into unrest</span> and <span style="color: cyan;">some of the Jewish population began to openly mock Florus by passing a basket around to collect money as if Florus was poor</span></strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Florus reacted to the unrest <span style="color: #bf9000;">by sending soldiers into Jerusalem the next day to raid the city and arrest a number of the city leaders</span>, <span style="color: cyan;">who were later whipped and crucified, despite many of them being Roman citizens</span></strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Shortly, <strong><span style="color: cyan;">outraged Judean nationalist factions took up arms and the Roman military garrison of Jerusalem was quickly overrun by rebels</span></strong>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fearing the worst, the pro-Roman king Agrippa II and his sister Berenice fled Jerusalem to Galilee. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Judean militias later moved upon Roman citizens of Judaea and pro-Roman officials, cleansing the country of any Roman symbols.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Cestius Gallus, the legate of Syria, brought the Syrian army</strong>, <span style="color: #bf9000;">based on XII Fulminata, reinforced by auxiliary troops</span>, to restore order and quell the revolt. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">The legion, however, was ambushed and defeated by Jewish rebels at the Battle of Beth Horon</span>, a result that shocked the Roman leadership</strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;"><u>The defeat of the Romans in Beth Horon is considered one of the worst military defeats of the Roman Empire by a rebel province throughout its history</u></span>.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Some 6,000 Roman troops were killed and many more wounded in the battle</span> <strong>with Legio XII Fulminata losing its <i><span style="color: lime;">aquila</span></i>,</strong> as <strong><span style="color: cyan;">general Gallus abandoned his troops in disarray fleeing to Syria</span></strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
An <i><b>aquila</b></i>, or <b>eagle</b>, was the standard of a Roman legion. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It was carried by a legionary known as an aquilifer, or eagle-bearer. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">One eagle was carried by each legion.</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>A lost standard was considered an extremely grave occurrence, and <span style="color: #bf9000;">the Roman military often went to great lengths to both protect a standard and to recover it if lost</span></strong>; <br />
<br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li> for example, <span style="color: #bf9000;">see the aftermath of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, where</span> <strong><span style="color: cyan;">the Romans spent decades attempting to recover the lost standards of three legions</span></strong>.</li>
</span></span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">Emperor Nero appointed general Vespasian, instead of Gallus to crush the rebellion.</span> <br />
</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>His second-in-command was to be his son Titus. </strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: lime;"><i><u>Vespasian</u></i></span><span style="color: #bf9000;"> was given four legions and in 67 CE invaded the Galilee</span></strong>, working his way towards Jerusalem and destroying the rebel forces on the way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><strong>Vespasian, along with legions X <i>Fretensis</i> and V <i>Macedonica</i>, landed at Ptolemais in April 67</strong>.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: cyan;">There he was joined by his son Titus, who arrived from Alexandria at the head of Legio XV Apollinaris</span>, as well as by the armies of various local allies including that of king Agrippa II</span></strong>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fielding more than 60,000 soldiers, <b><i><u><span style="color: lime;">Vespasian</span></u></i></b> began operations by subjugating Galilee. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Many towns gave up without a fight, although others had to be taken by force. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><strong>By the year 68, Jewish resistance in the north had been crushed</strong>, and <strong>Vespasian made Caesarea Maritima his headquarters</strong></span> and <span style="color: #bf9000;">methodically proceeded to cleanse the coastline of the country</span>, <strong><u>avoiding direct confrontation with the rebels at Jerusalem</u></strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The leaders of the collapsed Northern revolt, <strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">John of Giscala and Simon Bar Giora, </span><span style="color: cyan;">managed to escape to Jerusalem, which was packed with militants of many factions and largely cut off by Roman forces</span></strong>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Jerusalem quickly descended into anarchy, with the radicals taking control of large parts of the fortified city</strong>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">Brutal civil war then erupted, with the Zealots and the fanatical Sicarii executing anyone advocating surrender</span></strong>, and <strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">by 68 CE the entire leadership of the southern revolt was assassinated in the infighting</span>, some at the notorius Zealot Temple Siege.</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
After a lull in the military operations, owing to civil war and political turmoil in Rome, Titus besieged and destroyed the center of rebel resistance in Jerusalem in the year 70 CE, and defeated the remaining Jewish strongholds later on.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #bf9000;">While the war in Judea was in progress, great events were occurring in Rome</span>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>In the middle of 68 CE, the emperor Nero's increasingly erratic behaviour finally lost him all support for his position.</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">When the senate declared Nero an Enemy of the people</span>, <span style="color: cyan;">he fled Rome and committed suicide</span>. <br />
</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The newly installed emperor Galba was murdered after just a few months by Otho - a rival, triggering a civil war that came to be known as the Year of the Four Emperors. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong> <span style="color: #bf9000;"> In 69 CE, though previously uninvolved, the popular</span> <span style="color: cyan;"><i><u><span style="color: lime;">Vespasian was also hailed emperor</span></u></i><span style="color: cyan;"> by the legions under his command</span></span>.</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>He decided, <span style="color: #bf9000;">upon gaining further widespread support, to return to Rome to claim the throne from the usurper Vitellius</span>, <span style="color: cyan;">leaving his son Titus to finish the war in Judea</span>.</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">With departure of Vespasian, who had opposed an open siege upon Jerusalem, fearing to lose many troops against the fortified city,</span> <span style="color: cyan;">Titus advanced Roman legions upon the capital of the rebellious province.</span> </strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Conquering town after town, Titus quickly advanced on the hill country, <span style="color: #bf9000;">while the outcry of the brutal suppression <strong><u>created an immense wave of Judean refugees, seeking shelter in fortified Jerusalem</u></strong>.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The Judean rebels avoided direct confrontation with the Roman troops, <span style="color: #bf9000;">as multiple factions were mostly interested in their own control and survival</span>, <u>rather than Roman defeat</u>.</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Weakened by the brutal civil war within the city, the victorious Zealot factions could still field a significant number of troops to oppose an immediate Roman conquest of the capital.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan;">The siege of Jerusalem, the fortified capital city of the province, quickly turned into a stalemate.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Unable to breach the city's defences, <span style="color: #bf9000;">the Roman armies established a permanent camp just outside the city, digging a trench around the circumference of its walls and building a wall as high as the city walls themselves</span> around Jerusalem.</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">Anyone caught in the trench, attempting to flee the city would be captured, crucified, and placed in lines on top of the dirt wall facing into Jerusalem.</span></strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>The two Zealot leaders, John of Gischala and Simon Bar Giora, <span style="color: #bf9000;">only ceased hostilities and joined forces to defend the city when the Romans began to construct ramparts for the siege</span>. <br />
</strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">Those attempting to escape the city were crucified, with as many as five hundred crucifixions occurring in a day.</span></strong>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">During the infighting inside the city walls, </span><span style="color: lime;"><u><i>a stockpiled supply of dry food was intentionally burned</i></u></span><span style="color: cyan;"> by the Sicarii to induce the defenders to fight against the siege</span>, instead of negotiating peace; </strong>
<br />
</span></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li> <span style="color: #bf9000;">as a result many city dwellers and soldiers died of starvation during the siege.</span></li>
</span></span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong>Following a seven-month siege, Titus Flavius, Vespasian's son, eventually used the collapse of several of the city walls to breach Jerusalem.</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>During the final stages of the Roman attack, <span style="color: cyan;">Zealots under Eleazar ben Simon still held the Temple</span>, <span style="color: #bf9000;">while the Sicarii, led by Simon Bar Giora, held the upper city</span>.</strong> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: cyan;">All three walls of Jerusalem were eventually destroyed as well as the Temple and the citadels;</span></strong> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> -<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">the city was then put to the torch, with most survivors taken into slavery;</span></strong> <br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>The Second Temple</strong> (the renovated Herod's Temple), <strong><span style="color: cyan;">one of the last fortified bastions of the rebellion, was destroyed on Tisha B'Av (29 or 30 July 70).</span></strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><i><b>Tisha B'Av</b></i> is an annual fast day in Judaism, named for the ninth day (<i>Tisha</i>) of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar</span>. <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #bf9000;">The fast commemorates the destruction of both the First Temple and Second Temple in Jerusalem</span></strong>, <strong><span style="color: cyan;">which occurred about 655 years apart</span>, <span style="color: lime;"><u><em>but on the same Hebrew calendar date</em></u></span></strong>.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">founding myth</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> of Rome, <span style="color: cyan;">the city was </span></span><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">founded</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> on 21 April 753 BC by twin brothers </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Romulus and Remus</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to the <span style="font-size: x-large;">founding myth</span>,<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Romulus and Remus</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: cyan;"><strong>'s mother was raped and impregnated by </strong></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Mars</strong></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong>, the PAGAN Roman </strong></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong>god of war</strong></span><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">, therefore the twins were considered </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">half-divine</span> PAGANS</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The city of Rome grew from settlements around a ford on the river Tiber, a crossroads of traffic and trade. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to archaeological evidence, the village of Rome was probably founded sometime in the 8th century BC, though it may go back as far as the 10th century BC.</span><br />

<u><strong><span style="color: yellow;">THE ROMAN KINGDOM</span></strong></u><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"> <strong>Initially, Rome was ruled by PAGAN kings</strong></span>, who were elected from each of Rome's major tribes.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;">The king was also the Head of the Roman Religion.</span><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Roman religion, at least concerning the gods, <strong><span style="color: cyan;">was made up</span></strong> not of written <span style="font-size: x-large;">narratives</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, but rather <strong><span style="color: cyan;">of complex interrelations between gods and humans.</span></strong></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Unlike in </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Greek mythology</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, the gods were not personified, but were vaguely defined sacred spirits called <i>numina</i>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Romans also believed that every person, place or thing had its own <i>genius</i>, or divine soul. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <u><strong>The </strong><strong>Roman Republic</strong></u><strong> was established around 509 BC</strong>, <strong><span style="color: cyan;">when the last of the seven kings of Rome</span></strong>, Tarquin the Proud, <strong><span style="color: lime;">was deposed by </span></strong><strong><span style="color: lime;">Lucius Junius Brutus</span></strong>.<br /><br />
<br />

<span style="color: #bf9000;">The College of Pontifices was uppermost body in this hierarchy, and <strong>its chief priest</strong></span><strong>, <span style="color: lime;">the <i>Pontifex Maximus</i>, was the head of the PAGAN</span></strong></span><strong style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="color: lime;"> state religion</span></strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> <span style="color: lime;">The main duty of the PAGAN Pontifices was to maintain the <i>pax deorum</i> or "peace of the gods."</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In the ROMAN REPUBLIC, the </span><span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><strong>sacred king</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> / <span style="color: lime;">Pontifex Maximus</span></strong> <strong><span style="color: cyan;">took on the religious responsibilities of the deposed kings</span></strong>. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong><span style="color: cyan;">The <span style="color: lime;">Pontifex Maximus </span>was <em><u>the most importan</u></em></span></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: cyan;"><em><u>t position in the PAGAN </u></em></span></strong></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong><u><em>ancient Roman religion</em></u></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to the usual interpretation, <span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">the term</span> </span><span style="color: #bf9000;"><i>pontifex</i> literally means "bridge-builder" (<i>pons</i> + <i>facere</i>); "maximus" literally means "greatest".</span> <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> As the <span style="color: lime;"><strong>"GREATEST BRIDGE BUILDER" between the PAGAN gods and humans</strong></span>, <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>the <u>only access to the PAGAN Roman gods</u> WAS THROUGH THE PONTIFEX MAXIMUS</strong></span>.<br /><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>A distinctly religious office under the early </strong></span></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Roman Republic</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, it gradually became politicized until, <span style="color: #bf9000;">beginning with </span></span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">Augustus</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">, it was subsumed into the Imperial office</span>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The Pontifex was not simply a priest. <br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <b><i><u>He had</u> <span style="color: lime;"><u>both political and religious authority</u>.</span></i></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>It was a coveted position mainly for the great prestige it conferred on the holder</strong></span>; </span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">Julius Caesar</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"> became pontifex in 73 BC and pontifex maximus in 63 BC</span>.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In the early Empire, the pretense of a republican form of government was maintained. <br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Roman Emperor</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> was portrayed as only a <i>princeps</i>, or "first citizen", and the Senate gained legislative power and all legal authority previously held by the popular assemblies. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> However, the rule of the Emperors became increasingly </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">autocratic</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, and <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>the Senate was reduced to an advisory body appointed by the Emperor</strong></span>. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The <b>Roman emperor</b> <span style="color: lime;"><strong>was the ruler of the </strong></span></span><span style="color: lime; font-size: x-large;"><strong>Roman State</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: lime;"><strong> </strong></span>during the imperial period (starting at about 27 BC).<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In 27 BC, Octavian was the sole Roman leader. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In that year, he took the name <i>Augustus</i>. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: #bf9000;">That event is usually taken by historians as the beginning of Roman Empire – although</span> <strong><u>Rome was an "imperial" state since 146 BC</u></strong>. (<span style="color: lime;"><strong><u>13 years before "Satan's Seat" was given to Rome</u></strong></span>)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: cyan;"> Officially, the government was republican</span>, <span style="color: lime;"><strong>but Augustus assumed absolute powers</strong></span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Thus, <strong>Jupiter was perceived to be the same deity as Zeus, Mars became associated with Ares, and Neptune with Poseidon</strong>. </span><br /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The <strong><span style="color: cyan;"><u>Roman gods also assumed the attributes and mythologies of these Greek gods</u></span></strong>. </span><br /><br />

<strong style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="color: lime;"><u>Romans absorbed the mythologies of their conquered subjects</u></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">, often leading to situations in which the temples and priests of traditional Italian deities existed side by side with those of foreign gods.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Sporadic and sometimes brutal attempts were made to suppress religionists who seemed to threaten traditional morality and unity, as with the senate's efforts to restrict the Bacchanals in 186 BC.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Yamauchi, pointing out that <strong><u>most of the textual evidence for Mithraist doctrine was written <span style="color: cyan;">after the New Testament was in broad circulation</span></u></strong>, posits that <span style="color: cyan;"><strong><u><em>it is more likely that Mithraism borrowed from Christianity than the other way around</em></u></strong></span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> It is often stated that Mithras was thought to have been born on December 25. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> He continues: "In truth, <strong><u>the only evidence for it is</u> <span style="color: lime; text-decoration: underline;">the celebration of the birthday of Invictus</span> <u>on that date in </u></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><u>Calendar of Philocalus</u></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong>In 303 AD</strong>, he and </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Galerius</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> started the persecution and <u><em><strong>ordered the destruction of all the Christian churches and scripts</strong></em></u> <span style="color: cyan;">and forbade Christian worship</span>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong>Diocletian abdicated in 305 AD together with </strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Maximian</strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, thus, he was the first Roman emperor to resign.</span><br />

<li>The first, called <i><strong>Mihryazd</strong></i> by the Persians, was the <strong><u>"The Living Spirit"</u></strong> (Aramaic <i><span class="Unicode">rūḥā ḥayyā</span></i>), <span style="color: cyan;"><strong><u><span style="color: lime;">a savior-figure who <em>rescues the "First Man"</em></span></u> from the demonic Darkness into which he had plunged</strong></span>.</li>

<li>The second, known as <i><strong>Mihr</strong></i> or <i><strong>Mihr yazd</strong></i> among the Parthians, is <strong><u>"The Messenger"</u></strong> (Aramaic <i>īzgaddā</i>), likewise <span style="color: cyan;">a savior figure, but one concerned with setting up the structures to </span><span style="color: lime;"><strong>liberate <u><em>the Light lost when the First Man</em></u> had been defeated</strong></span>.</li>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> This Third Messenger was <strong><u>the helper and redeemer of mankind</u></strong>, and identified with another Zoroastrian divinity <strong><span style="color: cyan;"><i>Narisaf</i> -</span></strong></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><strong>meaning 'potent utterance'</strong>, the name of a </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><b>yazata</b></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b> Constantine the Great</b> (Latin: <span lang="la" xml:lang="la"><i>Flavius Valerius Aurelius Constantinus Augustus</i></span>;<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-6"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great#cite_note-6"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[3]</span></a></sup> 27 February c. 272<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-birthdate_5-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great#cite_note-birthdate-5"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[2]</span></a></sup> – 22 May 337), also known as <b>Constantine I</b> or <b>Saint Constantine</b>,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_the_Great#cite_note-7"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[4]</span></a></sup> was Roman Emperor from 306 to 337. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Constantine built a new imperial residence at Byzantium, naming it New Rome. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> However, in Constantine's honor, people called it Constantinople, which would later be the capital of what is now known as the Byzantine Empire for over one thousand years. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Because of this, he is thought of as the founder of the Byzantine Empire.<br /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span> <br /><br />
<br />
Well known for being <strong><u><span style="color: cyan;">the first Roman emperor to convert to ROMAN Christianity</span></u></strong>, Constantine and co-Emperor Licinius issued the Edict of Milan in 313, which proclaimed tolerance of all religions throughout the empire.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
Constantine ended the persecution of Christianity (and other religions) with the Edict of Milan, so that <span style="color: cyan;">the Imperial pagan religion of Ancient Rome was no longer the only religion acceptable by the state</span>.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When Yale historian Ramsay MacMullen treated <strong><em><u><span style="color: cyan;">the Christianization of the Roman Empire</span></u></em></strong>, he divided his book in two sections, before and after the year 312, which marked <strong>the momentous conversion of Constantine</strong>. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<b> Christianization</b> (or <b>Christianisation</b>) is the conversion of individuals to Christianity or the conversion of entire peoples at once.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color: yellow;">Various strategies and techniques were employed<strong><em><u> in ROMAN CATHOLIC Christianization campaigns</u></em></strong> from Late Antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li> ancient holy sites were destroyed or converted to "<em>Catholic</em>" Christian churches, </li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li>indigenous pagan gods were demonized, and traditional religious practices were condemned as <i>witchcraft</i> and even criminalized </li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
— sometimes upon penalty of death. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li><strong><span style="color: cyan;">A notable strategy for "<em>Catholic</em>" Christianization was </span></strong><i><span style="color: lime;"><strong>interpretatio</strong> <strong>christiana</strong></span>;</i></li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
– the practice of <strong><u>converting native pagan</u></strong>;<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Often <strong>first-day worship (Sunday morning or Saturday night) was practiced alongside observance of seventh-day Sabbath rest and was a widespread Christian tradition by the 2nd century</strong>; over time, Sunday thus came to be known as Lord's Day and, later, a rest day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Though the MODERN majority <strong><em><u>observance of <span style="color: cyan;">Christian Sabbath</span> is as Sunday rest</u></em></strong>, this development was gradual.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong><em><u>Some EARLY ROMAN church authorities opposed widespread seventh-day Sabbath observance</u></em></strong> <span style="color: cyan;">as a </span></span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">Judaizing</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: cyan;"> tendency</span>. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to "Documented Human History", <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>Roman bishops "demanded</strong></em></u></span> ... <strong><em><u><span style="color: cyan;">that the Sabbath be profaned</span></u></em></strong>; and they denounced in the strongest language those who dared to show it honour.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> For example, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Laodicea" title="Council of Laodicea"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">Council of Laodicea</span></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (canon 29) <strong>required ROMAN Christians to separate from Jewish laws and traditions</strong>, stating that <em><strong><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: lime;">Christians must not Judaize by resting on Sabbath</span>, but <u>must work that day</u> and then, if possible, rest on the Lord's Day</span></strong></em>, and that any found to be Judaizers were declared </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anathema" title="Anathema"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">anathema</span></a><span style="font-size: x-large;"> from Christ. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan;">This was consistent with Constantine's personal position towards Jewry</span>, which has been described by the primitive Christianity movement <strong><em><u><span style="color: lime;">as</span></u></em></strong></span><strong><em><u><span style="color: lime;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">persecution</span></span></u></em></strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><em><u><span style="color: lime;"> of seventh-day observers</span></u></em></strong>. </span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> On March 7, 321, the <strong><em><u><span style="color: cyan;">Roman Emperor (pontifex maximus)Constantine issued a decree making Sunday a day of rest from labor</span></u></em></strong>, stating:<br />
</span><br />
<blockquote class="templatequote">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Later in 321, Constantine instructed that <strong><em><u><span style="color: lime;">Christians and non-Christians should be united in observing the venerable day of the sun</span></u></em></strong>, referencing the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">sun-worship</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> that </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Aurelian</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> had established as an official cult.</span><br />

<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In earlier TESTIMONY, the JURY heard that <span style="color: cyan;"><strong><em><u>in 380 AD,</u> <span style="color: lime;"><u>ROMAN CHRISTIANITY</u></span> <u>was made the State Religion of Imperial Rome</u></em></strong></span> by Emperor Theodosius.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The JURY also heard TESTIMONY that, at about the same time, 380 AD, <span style="color: lime;"><em><strong><span style="color: cyan;"><u>the Title "Pontifex Maximus"</u></span> <u>was removed from the Roman Emperors, and bestowed upon the "Bishop of Rome"(POPE).</u></strong></em></span><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The JURY SHOULD NOTE that;<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li>this was in a period of ROMAN HISTORY that the POLITICAL power of ROMAN EMPIRE was collapsing,</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li>and the <strong><em><u>"ROMAN CHRISTIAN"</u></em></strong> religion <span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>was RISING TO POWER OUT OF THE COLLAPSING ROMAN IMPERIAL EMPIRE</strong></em></u></span>.</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Emperor Theodosius (379–395) gave even more force to the <span style="color: cyan;">ROMAN</span> "Christian" faith after his death;</strong> <br /><br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li>the Empire was divided into <strong><u>the Eastern Roman Empire, ruled by Arcadius</u></strong> </li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li>and <strong><u>the Western Roman Empire, commanded by Honorius</u></strong>; <strong><em><span style="color: cyan;"><u>both were Theodosius’ sons</u></span></em></strong>.</li>
</span></ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
According to "Documented Human History";<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire#Religion"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire#Religion</span></a><br /> Religion in the Roman Empire encompassed the practices and beliefs the Romans regarded as their own, <strong><em><u>as well as the many cults imported to Rome or practiced by peoples throughout the provinces</u></em></strong>. <br /><br />

<span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>The Romans thought of themselves as highly religious, and attributed their success as a world power to their collective piety</strong></em></u></span> <i>(pietas)</i> in maintaining good relations with the gods <i>(pax deorum)</i>. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The archaic religion believed to have been handed down from the earliest kings of Rome was the foundation of the <i>mos maiorum</i>, "the way of the ancestors" or "tradition"</b>, viewed as central to Roman identity. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: yellow;"><u>There was no principle regarding "separation of church and state</u>".</span></i></b> <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>The priesthoods of the state religion were filled from the same social pool of men who held public office</u></b>, and <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>in the Imperial era, the </strong></span><span style="color: cyan;"><strong>Pontifex Maximus</strong></span><span style="color: cyan;"><strong> was the emperor</strong></span>.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Roman religion was practical and contractual, based on the principle of <i>do ut des</i>, "I give that you might give." <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Religion <span style="color: cyan;">depended on knowledge</span> <span style="color: #bf9000;">and the correct practice of prayer, ritual, and sacrifice</span>, <span style="color: lime;">not on faith</span> or dogma</strong>, although Latin literature preserves learned speculation on the nature of the divine and its relation to human affairs. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
For ordinary Romans, religion was a part of daily life. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Each home had a household shrine at which prayers and libations to the family's domestic deities were offered. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Neighborhood shrines and sacred places such as springs and groves dotted the city. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Apuleius (2nd century) described the everyday quality of religion in observing how people who passed a cult place might make a vow or a fruit offering, or merely sit for a while. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>The Roman calendar was structured around religious observances.</strong></em></u></span> <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>In the Imperial era, as many as 135 days of the year were devoted to religious festivals</b> and games (<i>ludi)</i>.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Women, slaves, and children all participated in a range of religious activities.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In the wake of the Republic's collapse, <strong><em><u>state religion had adapted</u></em></strong> to support the new regime of the emperors. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As the first Roman emperor, Augustus <b><u>justified the novelty of one-man rule with a vast program of religious revivalism and reform</u></b>. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Public vows formerly made for the security of the republic now were directed at the wellbeing of the emperor. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So-called "emperor worship" expanded on a grand scale the traditional Roman veneration of the ancestral dead and of the <i>Genius</i>, the divine tutelary of every individual. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_cult_(ancient_Rome)" title="Imperial cult (ancient Rome)"><span style="color: magenta;">Imperial cult</span></a>, influenced by Hellenistic ruler cult, became one of the major ways Rome advertised its presence in the provinces and cultivated shared cultural identity and loyalty throughout the Empire. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>Rejection of the state religion became tantamount to treason against the emperor.</strong></em></u></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong><em><u>This was the context for Rome's conflict with Christianity</u></em></strong>, which Romans variously regarded as a form of atheism and novel <i>superstitio</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
The Romans are known for the great number of deities they honored, a capacity that earned the mockery of early Christian polemicists. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> As the Romans extended their dominance throughout the Mediterranean world, <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>their policy in general was to absorb the deities and cults of other peoples</strong></em></u></span> rather than try to eradicate them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> One way that Rome promoted stability among diverse peoples was by supporting their religious heritage, building temples to local deities that framed their theology <b><u>within the hierarchy of Roman religion</u></b>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Inscriptions throughout the Empire record the side-by-side worship of local and Roman deities, including dedications made by Romans to local gods. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> By the height of the Empire, numerous international deities were cultivated at Rome and had been carried to even the most remote provinces, among them Cybele, Isis, Epona, and gods of solar monism such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithras" title="Mithras"><span style="color: magenta;">Mithras</span></a> and Sol Invictus, found as far north as Roman Britain. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Because Romans had never been obligated to cultivate one god or one cult only, religious tolerance was not an issue in the sense that it is for competing monotheistic systems.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_religions" title="Mystery religions"><span style="color: magenta;">Mystery religions</span></a>, <strong><em><u>which offered initiates salvation in the afterlife</u></em></strong>, were a matter of personal choice for an individual, <span style="color: cyan;">practiced in addition to carrying on one's family rites and participating in public religion</span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The mysteries, however, involved exclusive oaths and secrecy, conditions that conservative Romans viewed with suspicion as characteristic of "magic", conspiracy (<i>coniuratio</i>), and subversive activity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Sporadic and sometimes brutal attempts were made to suppress religionists who seemed to threaten traditional morality and unity. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong>In Gaul, the power of the druids was checked</strong>, <span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>first by forbidding Roman citizens to belong to the order, and then by banning druidism altogether</strong></em></u></span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>At the same time, however, Celtic traditions were reinterpreted within Imperial theology</strong></em></u></span>, and a new Gallo-Roman religion was born, with its capital at the Sanctuary of the Three Gauls in Lugdunum (present-day Lyon, France). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The sanctuary established precedent for Western cult as a form of Roman-provincial identity.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The monotheistic rigor of Judaism posed difficulties for Roman policy that led at times to compromise and the granting of special exemptions. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Tertullian noted that the Jewish religion, unlike that of the Christians, was considered a <i>religio licita</i>, "legitimate religion." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Wars between the Romans and the Jews occurred when conflict, political as well as religious, became intractable. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> When Caligula <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>wanted to place a golden statue of his deified self in the Temple in Jerusalem</strong></em></u></span>, the potential sacrilege and likely war were prevented only by his timely death. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The Siege of Jerusalem in 70 AD led to the sacking of the temple and the dispersal of Jewish political power</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Christianity emerged in Roman Judea as a Jewish religious sect in the 1st century AD. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The religion gradually spread out of Jerusalem, initially establishing major bases in first Antioch, then Alexandria, and over time throughout the Empire as well as beyond. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Imperially authorized persecutions were limited and sporadic, with martyrdoms occurring most often under the authority of local officials.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The first persecution by an emperor occurred under Nero, and was confined to the city of Rome. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Tacitus reports that after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64, some among the population held Nero responsible and that the emperor attempted to deflect blame onto the Christians. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> After Nero, a major persecution occurred under the emperor Domitian and a persecution in 177 took place at Lugdunum, the Gallo-Roman religious capital. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> A surviving letter from Pliny the Younger, governor of Bythinia, to the emperor Trajan describes his persecution and executions of Christians. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The Decian persecution of 246–251 was a serious threat to the Church, but ultimately strengthened Christian defiance. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Diocletian undertook what was to be the most severe persecution of Christians, lasting from 303 to 311.<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In the early 4th century, Constantine I became the first emperor to convert to <span style="color: cyan;">ROMAN</span> "Christianity", launching the era of Christian hegemony. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The emperor Julian made a short-lived attempt to revive traditional and Hellenistic religion and to affirm the special status of Judaism, but in 391 under Theodosius I ROMAN "Christianity" became the official state religion of Rome, to the exclusion of all others. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> From the 2nd century onward, the ROMAN "Christian" Church Fathers had begun to condemn the diverse religions practiced throughout the Empire collectively as "pagan." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Pleas for religious tolerance from traditionalists such as the senator Symmachus (d. 402) were rejected, and Christian monotheism became a feature of Imperial domination. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Heretics as well as non-Christians were subject to exclusion from public life or persecution, but Rome's original religious hierarchy and many aspects of its ritual influenced Christian forms, and many pre-Christian beliefs and practices survived in Christian festivals and local traditions.<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
The Roman Empire began to disintegrate in the late 4th century as invasions overwhelmed the capacity of the Empire to govern and mount a coordinated defense.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The situation became more critical in 408, after the death of Stilicho, a general who impeded a larger barbarian invasion in the early years of the 5th century. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
During the 5th century, the Western Empire saw a significant reduction of its territory. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Plagued by internal instability</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">attacked by various migrating peoples</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">western part of the empire</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> broke up into independent kingdoms in the 5th century.</span><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 410, the Theodosian dynasty saw the Visigoths sack Rome. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Vandals conquered North Africa, the Visigoths claimed Gaul, Hispania was taken by the Suebi, Britain was abandoned by the central government, and the Empire almost collapsed during the invasions of Attila, chieftain of the Huns.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Fatally, general Orestes refused to have the barbarian “allies” serving the army, and tried to expel them from Italy. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Unhappy with this resolution, the chieftain Odoacer, from the Heruli, defeated and killed Orestes, invaded Ravenna and dethroned Romulus Augustus, son of Orestes. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Most chronologies place the end of the Western empire in 476, when Romulus Augustulus was forced to abdicate to the Germanic warlord Odoacer. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This event happened in 476, and historians usually take it as the mark of the end of Classical Antiquity and beginning of the Middle Ages.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Having lasted for about 1200 years, the rule of Rome in the West ended.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-140"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Rome#cite_note-140"></a></sup><br /><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
The </span><b style="font-size: xx-large;">Alemanni</b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (also </span><b style="font-size: xx-large;">Alamanni</b><span style="font-size: x-large;">, </span><b style="font-size: xx-large;">Alamani</b><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" style="font-size: xx-large;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alemanni#cite_note-1"><span style="font-size: x-small;">[1]</span></a></sup><span style="font-size: x-large;">) were </span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">a confederation of Suebian Germanic tribes</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> located on the upper Rhine river. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
First mentioned by the Romans in 213, the Alemanni captured the Agri Decumates in 260, and later expanded into present-day Alsace, and northern Switzerland, establishing the German language in those regions. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
The </span><b style="font-size: xx-large;">Lentienses</b><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (German </span><i style="font-size: xx-large;">Lentienser</i><span style="font-size: x-large;">) </span><strong style="font-size: xx-large;">were a Germanic <span style="color: cyan;"><u><em>branch of the Alamanni</em></u></span></strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">, in what is now southern Germany.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
They were reported to be one of the most rebellious tribes at the time.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><strong style="font-size: xx-large;">There are only two mentions of the Lentienses</strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">, both by the Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus (330–395).</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
First, they appeared in 355 when the Roman commander Arbetio was ordered by Emperor Constantius II to fine the Lentienses for several incursions the Roman Empire. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
Secondly, they were mentioned in 378 when they crossed the frozen Rhine, invading the Roman Empire. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
They were defeated in May 378 by the Roman emperor Gratianus in the Battle of Argentovaria (modern Colmar in Alsace), when their king, Priarius, died. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
With this defeat, the Lentienses disappear from history.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
This battle was the last campaign by any Roman Emperor behind the Limes area. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
It was also the last time the name Lentienses was mentioned in historical documents.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">
</span><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><u><em><strong>In 496, the Alemanni were conquered by Frankish leader Clovis</strong></em></u></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and incorporated into his dominions.</span><br /><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="color: yellow;">He was also the first SUNDAY OBSERVING "Christian" king to rule Gaul, known today as France.</span><br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Clovis converted to Catholicism(<span style="color: cyan;">ROMAN <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>SUNDAY OBSERVING</strong></em></u> </span>"Christianity"</span>) at the instigation of his wife, Clotilde, a Burgundian princess who was a Catholic in spite of the Arianism that surrounded her at court. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> He was baptized on Christmas Day, 496, in a small church in the vicinity of the subsequent Abbey of Saint-Remi in Reims;</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> -<strong>a statue of him being baptized by Saint Remigius</strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> can still be seen there.</strong></span> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The <b>Battle of Tolbiac</b> was fought between the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Franks</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> under </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Clovis I</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Alamanni</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The date of the battle has traditionally been given as 496. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The site of "Tolbiac", or "Tulpiacum" is usually given as </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Zülpich</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">North Rhine-Westphalia</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, about 60 km east of what is now the German-</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Belgian</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> frontier. <strong> </strong><br /><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
With the help of the other Frankish sub-kings, he narrowly defeated the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Alamanni.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> We know little about the battle, except that the Ripuarian Franks were probably of no help after the first battle. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is likely that the warriors of Clovis were less skilled than the Alemanni. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In any case it is said that Clovis saw his warriors being killed and felt the battle was getting out of hand. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Moved to tears, he called upon the one God of his wife Clotilde, the God that she had preached to him since their marriage in 493, asking for his help.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Gregory of Tours transmits complete his prayer in chapter II of the History of the Franks: <br />
<br /><br /><span style="color: #bf9000;">
</span><em><span style="color: #bf9000;">-"O Jesus Christ, you who as Clotilde tells me are the son of the Living God, <br />
<br />
<br />
you who give succor to those who are in danger, <br />
<br />
<br />
and victory to those accorded who hope in Thee, <br />
<br />
<br />
I seek the glory of devotion with your assistance: <br />
<br />
<br />
</span></em></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><em>
</em>
</span>
<li><em><span style="color: #bf9000;"> If you give me victory over these enemies, </span></em></li>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">
<em>
</em></span></span></ul>
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;"><em>
<br />
<br />
</em></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><em>
</em>
</span>
<li><em><span style="color: #bf9000;"> and if I experience the miracles that the people committed to your name say they have had, </span></em></li>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">
<em>
</em></span></span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">
</span><em><span style="color: #bf9000;">
<br />

</em>
</span>
<li><em><span style="color: #bf9000;"> I believe in you, and I will be baptized in your name. </span></em></li>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">
<em>
</em></span></span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">
</span><em><span style="color: #bf9000;">
<br />
</span></em></span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><em>
</em>
</span>
<li><em><span style="color: #bf9000;">Indeed, I invoked my gods, and, as I am experiencing, they failed to help me, which makes me believe that they are endowed with no powers, that they do not come to the aid of those who serve. </span></em></li>
<span style="color: #bf9000;">
<em>
</em></span></span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="color: #bf9000;">

</span>
<li><em><span style="color: #bf9000;">It's to you I cry now, I want to believe in you if only I may be saved from my opponents."</span></em> </li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At these words, the Alemanni began to flee, to retreat because their leader had been killed with an axe. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Franks subsequently either subdued or massacred the Alemanni.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Clovis then made Paris his capital and established an abbey dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul on the south bank of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Seine</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> His conversion to <span style="color: lime;"><em><strong><span style="color: cyan;"><u>the Roman Catholic</u></span> <u>form of Christianity</u></strong></em></span> served to set him apart from the other Germanic kings of his time, such as those of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><em><u>Visigoths</u></em></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><em><u>Vandals</u></em></strong></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, who had converted from </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">pagan</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> beliefs to <em><u>Arian Christianity</u></em>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong><em><u>His embrace of the Roman Catholic faith</u></em></strong> may have also gained him the support of the Catholic Gallo-Roman aristocracy in his later campaign against the Visigoths, which drove them from southern Gaul in 507 and resulted in a great many of his people converting to Catholicism as well.<br />
<strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Clovis is remembered for three main accomplishments:</strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong></strong>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">By the first act, he assured the influence of his people beyond the borders of Gaul, something no regional king could accomplish. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">By the second act, he laid the foundations of a later nation-state, France. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">By the third act, <span style="color: cyan;"><em><strong><u>he made himself the ally of the papacy</u> <span style="color: lime;"><u>and its protector</u></span></strong></em></span> as well as that of the people, who were mostly Catholics.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> </strong> Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, <span style="color: cyan;">the DEFENSE would submit for your consideration that the <span style="font-size: x-large;">Alamanni</span> were 1 of the 10 Kingdoms that were to arise out of the Roman Empire.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The DEFENSE <span style="color: yellow;">would also submit for consideration that the <span style="font-size: x-large;">Alamanni</span> were THE FIRST OF THREE KINGDOMS destroyed in support of the POPE and his diverse(religious) kingdom</span> before Clovis' BAPTISM in 496AD.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">NOTE: There is an accepted misconception that the HERULI were one of the 3 Kingdoms destroyed in support of the "Little Horn", however, "Documented Human History" <u>DOES NOT</u> support this understanding.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> ACCORDING TO </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">"Documented Human History" the Heruli were NOT DESTROYED, but CONVERTED to Roman Christianity and WERE ABSORBED by, and INTEGRATED INTO the Roman Empire.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="background-color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;">According to Procopius,</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;">the Herules were a polytheistic society known to practice </span>human sacrifice<span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;">, although it appears that by the time of Justinian, which was period he wrote about, many had become </span>Arian<span style="font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;"> Christians. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;"><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: cyan;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 22.4px;"><span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">With the ascent of Justinian, Procopius says that the Herules within the empire converted to Christianity and "adopted a gentler manner of life."</span></span><br />

Ladies and Gentlemen of the JURY, the DEFENSE would present for your consideration that;<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li> the "PAGAN Religious Title" <em><strong>"PONTIFEX MAXIMUS"</strong></em> <u><em>has existed since BEFORE ROME BECAME A WORLD SUPERPOWER in approximately 281 BC</em></u>!</li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">

</span></ul>

<br />
</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li>IN or SHORTLY AFTER August 2020, the Title "PONTIFEX MAXIMUS" <strong><em><u>will have existed AS A WORLD SUPERPOWER</u></em></strong> PAGAN <span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>Title of Religious Authority</strong></em></u></span> <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>for 2300 years.</strong></em></u></span></li>
</span></ul>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<br />
<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Important note:<br /> <i><b><u>There are those that insist Daniel's 2300 day prophecy is a "LITERAL 2300 DAYS</u>"</b></i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In earlier TESTIMONY regarding DANIEL'S "Little King", the JURY was introduced to; </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> EVIDENCE was presented to the JURY that identified this GREAT RED DRAGON as SATAN.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> EVIDENCE was also presented to the JURY that identified DANIEL'S "Little King" as SATAN.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> At this time, the DEFENSE would ask the JURY to consider that the prophecies of DANIEL and REVELATION;</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong>In REVELATION 12, we are shown a Great Red Dragon with Seven Heads and Ten Horns.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">3 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold </span><span style="color: lime;"><strong><em><u>a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns</u></em></strong></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">, and </span><span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>seven crowns upon his heads</strong></em></u></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span> </span></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="4"></a><br />

4 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">And his tail drew the </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">third</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: </span><span style="color: lime;">and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The JURY should note that <span style="color: cyan;">this is the "PROPHETIC" <strong><em><u>appearance and description of SATAN</u></em></strong></span> <span style="color: yellow;"><strong><u>at the POINT IN TIME when Jesus Christ was born</u></strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong> The JURY should also note that <em><u>there are Seven Crowns on the Seven Heads</u>;</em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><u><span style="color: yellow;">at the POINT IN TIME when Jesus Christ was born</span></u></strong><br />
<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<em><u>This point will be significant when the JURY hears the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 17</u></em>.<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong><em> <u>REVELATION 13 also testifies of a Seven Headed Beast with 10 horns.</u></em></strong><br />

REVELATION 13</h3>

<br />
<br />
2 <strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;">And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">feet</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> were as [the </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">feet</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">] of a </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">bear</span></strong><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><strong>, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion</strong>: and </span><span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority</strong></em></u></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The JURY should note that in earlier TESTIMONY, <span style="color: yellow;"><u><em><strong>this Leopard / Bear / Lion Beast with Seven Heads and Ten Horns was positively identified as</strong></em></u>;</span><br />

<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <strong>The JURY also heard TESTIMONY that the 10 Horns on this Beast were 10 kingdoms that would arise OUT OF Rome.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u>The JURY should also note</u> <strong>that;</strong><br />

</span><br />
<ul><span style="font-size: x-large;">
<li><strong> <em>on REVELATION 13's Seven Headed Beast</em></strong>, <span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>the Crowns are ON THE 10 HORNS</strong></em></u></span>(10 kingdoms), <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>signifying that the 10 kingdoms held civil power and authority</strong></em></u></span>.</li>

<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> REVELATION 17 OFFERS ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY of a <em><strong>"<u>SEVEN HEADED BEAST with 10 HORNS</u>"</strong></em>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The JURY will now hear the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 17, <strong><u>for <span style="color: cyan;">the third description</span> of a Seven Headed Beast with Ten Horns</u></strong>.<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<h3>
REVELATION 17</h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon </span><span style="color: cyan;"><em><strong><u style="color: cyan;">a scarlet coloured beast,</u> <u><span style="color: yellow;">full of names of blasphemy</span></u></strong></em></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">, </span><span style="color: lime;"><strong><em><u>having seven heads and ten horns</u></em></strong></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">. </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="4"></a><br />

<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> The DEFENSE would submit that <strong><em><u>the TESTIMONY of <span style="color: cyan;">REVELATION 17 also supplies the INTERPRETATION</span></u></em></strong> of SATAN'S Seven Headed Beast with 10 Horns.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
REVELATION 17:8 tells us that <strong><em><u>the Seven Headed BEAST is SATAN HIMSELF</u></em></strong>!<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
8 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and <span style="color: yellow;"><strong><u>shall ascend out of the bottomless pit</u></strong>, <strong><u>and go into perdition</u></strong></span><span style="color: lime;">:(SATAN)</span> and <u><em><strong>they that dwell on the earth <span style="color: yellow;">shall wonder</span></strong></em></u>, </span><span style="color: cyan;"><em><strong><u>whose names</u> <span style="color: lime;"><u>were not</u></span> <u> written in the book of life</u></strong></em></span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> from the foundation of the world, <strong><em><u>when they behold the beast</u></em></strong> that was, and is not, and yet is. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">From a number of discoveries, including pottery, inscriptions and temples, we know that Roman Mithraism gained a significant boost and much of its shape between 80 and 120 AD/CE, when the first artifacts of this particular cultus begin to be found at Rome. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It reached a peak during the second and third centuries, before largely expiring at the end of the fourth/beginning of fifth centuries. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Indeed, before its usurpation by</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">(re-named to "<i>Catholic) Christianity</i>", </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Mithraism enjoyed the patronage of some of the most important individuals in the Roman Empire.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">In the fifth century, the emperor Julian, having rejected his birth-religion of Christianity, adopted Mithraism and "introduced the practise of the worship at Constantinople." (<em>Schaff-Herzog</em>, VII, 423)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> A victory over the Muslims at the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Battle of Ourique</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> in 1139 is traditionally taken as the occasion when the County of Portugal as a fief of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Kingdom of León</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> was transformed into the independent </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Kingdom of Portugal</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span><br />

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain</span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Spain emerged as a unified country in the 15th century, following the marriage of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Catholic Monarchs</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and the completion of the reconquest, or <i>Reconquista</i>, of the Iberian peninsula in 1492. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> It was an important source of influence to other world regions during the early modern period, when it became a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">global empire</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">, that has left a legacy of over 500 million </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Spanish speakers</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> today, making it the world's </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">second most spoken first language.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In 1469, the crowns of the "Pontifex Maximus" Christian kingdoms of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Castile</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and Aragon were united by the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">marriage</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> of </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Isabella I of Castile</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Ferdinand II of Aragon</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> 1478 commenced the completion of the conquest of the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Canary Islands</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> and in 1492, the combined forces of Castile and Aragon captured the Emirate of Granada, ending the last remnant of a </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">781-year presence</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> of Islamic rule in Iberia. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> That same year, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Spain's Jews</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> were </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">ordered to convert</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> to </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Catholicism</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> or face </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">expulsion</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> from Spanish territories during the </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Spanish Inquisition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Spain was Europe's leading power throughout the 16th century and most of the 17th century, a position reinforced by trade and wealth from colonial possessions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> It reached its apogee during the reigns of the first two </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Spanish Habsburgs</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> – </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Charles I</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (1516–1556) and </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Philip II</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> (1556–1598).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: cyan;"> </span><span style="color: #bf9000;">(see "Prophetic Vocabulary")</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><b><span style="color: yellow;">Note; Can a Juror determine truth without hearing ALL of the evidence? <u>It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that one hear ALL of the evidence</u>, beginning with Part #1 of these posts!</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> In PART #23, the JURY heard the TESTIMONY of <strong>THE SEVEN HEADS of REVELATION 17's Scarlet Beast</strong>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"> According to the TESTIMONY of REVELATION 17, we are shown a woman sit upon the Scarlet Beast with SEVEN HEADS.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and <span style="color: lime;"><u><em><strong>I saw a woman</strong></em></u></span> </span><span style="color: cyan;"><em><strong><u>sit upon a scarlet coloured beast,</u> </strong></em></span><span style="color: cyan;"><u><em><strong>full</strong></em><em><strong> of names of blasphemy, having seven </strong></em><em><strong>heads</strong></em><em><strong> and ten </strong></em><em><strong>horns</strong></em></u></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: x-large;">.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
<br />
At this time, the DEFENSE would ask the JURY to refer back to their "Prophetic Vocabulary".<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In REVELATION 12, the JURY was shown a <em><span style="color: lime;"><strong><u>woman</u></strong></span><span style="color: cyan;">(TRUE CHRISTIAN CHURCH)</span></em> that brought forth a man child that was to rule with a rod of iron.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
REVELATION 17 shows another <em><span style="color: lime;"><u><strong>woman</strong></u></span><span style="color: cyan;">(church).</span></em><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4 <span style="color: #3d85c6;">And </span><span style="color: cyan;"><span style="color: lime;"><strong><em><u>the woman</u></em></strong></span> was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">full</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> of </span><span style="color: #3d85c6;">abominations</span><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> and filthiness of her fornication:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
5 <span style="color: #3d85c6;"><span style="color: cyan;">And upon her forehead [was] a name written</span>, <strong><span style="color: lime;"><u>MYSTERY</u></span>, <span style="color: cyan;"><em>BABYLON THE GREAT</em></span></strong>, <strong><em><span style="color: orange;"><u>THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS</u></span></em></strong> AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br />
<br />
In earlier TESTIMONY, the JURY heard of a "MYSTERY Religion" that worshiped an ancient PAGAN God Mithras(Michael).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
