THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 89: The End of Persian Rule

 
After the Babylonians conquered Egypt under King Nebuchadnezzar, Jewish mercenaries were hired to protect Egypt’s southern border. During the years under the Persian government, Judah was more of a theocracy. The high priest ruled but he did not have unlimited power like the previous kings. A special council was convened to rubber stamp the wishes of the wealthy. From this sprung up the scribes, an educated class created to manipulate the people. Then the Greeks arrived and the high priest ordered the gates of Jerusalem opened and Alexander was welcomed into the city like a conquering hero. He was shown a scroll of the Book of Daniel and clearly thought of himself as the goat who tramples the Persian empire. The Jews were granted the same rights they enjoyed under the Persians and God honored the word to the prophet Malachi or the Jews would have ceased to exist as a national entity.

Welley Holy Christ - On My Twos

(Written by Andreas Norlén)

With every goal, he writes his own myth,
A modern warrior with ancient gifts,
In the spirit of conquerors from times of old,
His story is one that must be told.
In every match, his spirit ignites,
A beacon of hope in the darkest nights,
With a legacy grand, and a destiny bright,
Alexandros shines, in the spotlight.

Alexandros Pliatsikas, strong like Αλέξανδρος ο Μέγας,
Conquering the game, with a heart so fearless,
Legendary like Μέγας Aλέξανδρος,
On the pitch, he's a force to trust.
Αλέξανδρος Πλιάτσικας, δυνατός σαν τον Αλέξανδρο τον Μέγα,
Κατακτώντας το παιχνίδι, με καρδιά τόσο ατρόμητη,
Θρυλικός σαν τον Μέγα Αλέξανδρο,
Στο γήπεδο, είναι μια δύναμη που μπορείς να εμπιστευτείς.

With ancient roots, a legacy to defend,
A footballer's journey, no beginning, no end,
From the fields of Sweden to the lands of Greece,
Building a legend, his fame won't cease.

Alexandros Pliatsikas, strong like Αλέξανδρος ο Μέγας,

Αλέξανδρος Πλιάτσικας, δυνατός σαν τον Αλέξανδρο τον Μέγα,
Κατακτώντας το παιχνίδι, με καρδιά τόσο ατρόμητη,

Στο γήπεδο, είναι μια δύναμη που μπορείς να εμπιστευτείς.

In the cold north, where the winters are long,
A hero arises, fierce and strong.
From Umeå he hails, with a warrior's pride,
Alexandros Pliatsikas, a hero will rise.
From Umeå's cold fields to the Greek sun,
His journey of glory has just begun.
Alexandros Pliatsikas, forever renowned,
A footballer whose legacy will forever astound.

Alexandros Pliatsikas, strong like Αλέξανδρος ο Μέγας,
Conquering the game, with a heart so fearless,
Legendary like Μέγας Aλέξανδρος,

Alexander The King Of Kings

Exploring the lesser known later years of Alexander's life and campaigns with historian Rachel Kousser.

#68 - Alexander the Great: Monsoons & Mutinies in Mysterious Lands (w/ Rachel Kousser)

DANIEL - Study 9 - Daniel Chapter 8 - Daniel receives another vision that reveals the reality of the future.  Specifically, the vision of two kingdoms represented by a ram and a goat with a horn.  As he prays, struggles and seeks the Lord for wisdom, the angel Gabriel is dispatched to explain to Daniel the meaning of the visions.  The outcome?  A clear look into exactly what would happen with the Medo-Persian empire, the following kingdom to come (Greece) under Alexander the Great, and beyond. All the details of history are no surprise to the Almighty.  Come and listen, be edified, have your faith strengthened by God's mighty Word!

DANIEL_Part9-Chapter8

We are a Bible centered group of believers who desire to grow in the full knowledge of Jesus Christ without compromise to His Word. We believe, teach and practice all things that Jesus taught and were practiced by the Church in the book of the Acts of the Apostles. 

Jesus called his disciples to be salt and light. Salt is a preservative but it is also something that adds savor and enjoyment to our daily food. Light is a symbol of truth; it is comforting, penetrating, guiding and exposes darkness. We seek to preserve biblical truth and shed the glorious light of the Gospel in a world that is consumed by darkness.

Exploring the history and mythology of the ancient world. Archaeologists and scholars join to discuss ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and other civilizations of the distant past.

Join me for baseball, drinks, and everything under the sun.
