Rise of the Romans | Episode 16

History unveils prophecy. 

History connects the dots.

History fills in the lack of knowledge that people are perishing from. 

History MATTERS.

But here’s the thing...

Not only does the body not know history, but the body has been told and taught a false version of history that has literally been written by the hands of people who have been used as vessels by the enemy for the spiritual captivity of our minds.

Yea—it’s deep. 

In repairing this breach, we have to talk about history. This is not an easy task for those who love the truth, because the truth has been covered up. By the grace of Yahuah, He is helping guide my studies so that I can chew on the meat and spit out the bones. He is helping me read between the lines. He is helping me understand prophecy better as I understand the true narrative of history in terms of scriptural context. 

The battle between Jacob and Esau is an everlasting conflict that will rage until the second coming of our Messiah. This is the lens that we must put on in order to understand prophecy and how history has played out its continual fulfillment and how this conflict has been a perpetual attempt to destroy the children of Israel. 

I hope that Episode 16 will continue to help fill in some gaps and give you some key events, people, etc., to help you understand what has led to the deception that is being exposed today. 

The reason this episode is particularly important is because it will help give us the cultural, religious and political climate that was the environment of the Hebrew people before and during the life of our Messiah. It paints the picture of what life was like in Judaea and the surrounding areas that were now under Roman control. 

There is so much that will be discussed in this episode (just like the last episode). Instead of summarizing, it will be easier to give you the list of topics of discussion. 

So, here they are:

• The rise of the Roman Empire
• Timeline of Roman Emperors from 1st century BCE – 1st century CE
• Historical events that occurred between 420 BCE and 1 CE
• The Maccabees & the Maccabean Revolt
• The Hasmonean Dynasty
• The Herodian Dynasty & Edomites 
• The development of the Pharisees and Sadducees
• Implications and things to consider about the true Israelites and Edomites as it relates to prophecy
