I Daniel Index An index for Robert Riggs’ I, D A N I E L ( www.bahai-library.com/riggs_i_daniel ) by Bruce Limber 1998 Starred entries are definitions or explanations. Because the Books of Daniel and Revelation refer to the same “beasts” by different designations (Daniel’s fourth beast is the equivalent of both the first and second beasts in Revelation), this index refers to the beasts in Revelation with a capital “B” for clarification, and the beasts in Daniel in lower-case. ~s 34, 45, 46*, 67*, 67-68 ——— A ——— between Jews and Christians 46*, 80 of Desolation (33), (41-42*), (45-46*), 67*, 67-68*, A.

He defeated the Persian king Darius at Gaugamela, advanced to a welcoming Babylon, and progressed to Persepolis where he burned Xerxes palace supposedly in retaliation for Persias invasions of Greece some 150 years previously (Diodorus 17.72.1-6). Thus one empire gave way to another by a different name. So began the Greek empires that dominated Judea/Israel for the next two hundred or so years, the focus of this chapter. Is a postcolonial discussion of these empires possible and what might it highlight? Considerable dif�culties stand in the way. One is the weight of conventional analyses and disciplinary practices which have framed the discourse with emphases on the various roles of the great men, the ruling state, military battles, and Greek settlers, and have paid relatively little regard to the dynamics of imperial power from the perspectives of native inhabitants, the impact on peasants and land, and poverty among non-elites, let alone any reciprocal impact between colonizers and colon- ized.

  • Chapter Three
    chapter three SOUTHERN LEVANT BETWEEN ANTIOCHUS III AND ANTIOCHUS IV EPIPHANES . Ant. .–: Seleucids, Ptolemies and Tobiads In chapter II we have seen that the first decades of the nd century bce, after the end ofthe Ptolemaic rule and before the Maccabean revolt, between th and th Syrian war, were for Samaria and the surrounding regions a period of relative stability and we can observe one of the results of this flowering on Mt. Gerizim. Very precious information about this period is reported by Josephus in book XII of Jewish Antiquities. The period from the conquest of Palestine by Antiochus III to the accession of Antiochus IV Epiphanes is described in Ant. .–. The historical value of some data furnished in this text was often rejected by modern historians because they report for the period between the th and the th Syrian war in Coele- Syria and Phoenicia that there was the existence of some kind of mixture of Ptolemaic-Seleucid system under Seleucid-Ptolemaic administration. At the same time this text is one of the important sources about Coele-Syria and Phoenicia in the first decades of the nd century bce. It is necessary, for this reason, to analyze its historical value. This text significantly illuminates the international political context not only of the former Ptolemaic possessions in the southern Levant but also of Samaria which was integral part of it. Samaria is treated by Josephus several times in Ant. .–. Samaria is mentioned among the regions of which Antiochus III took possession during the th Syrian war.1 Afterwards he gave the taxes from Samaria, Coele-Syria, Judaea and Phoenicia as a dowry to his daugh- ter Cleopatra who married Antiochus III’s adversary Ptolemy V Epiphanes.2 This happened, according to Josephus, in the time of prosperity of the Samarians, when they harmed to the Judaeans.3 Josephus also reports that, after the th Syrian war, the taxes were collected in Samaria and other regions by Joseph the Tobiad, for the period of years.4 The text of Ant.

  • Making History Personal: Constantine Cavafy and the Rise of Rome
    Frier, “Making History Personal,” page 1 Making History Personal: Constantine Cavafy and the Rise of Rome by Bruce W. Frier1 Toward the end of his life, Constantine Cavafy observed: “I have two capacities: to write Poetry or to write History. I haven’t written History, and it’s too late now. Now, you’ll say, how do I know that I could write History? I feel it.”2 How should one understand this remark? Did Cavafy ever actually regret a path not taken? Such a thought is, quite frankly, hard to credit. Still, a very large proportion of Cavafy’s surviving poems are set against an historical backdrop, above all the history of the ancient Greek diaspora: the numerous historic city-states of Greece, Magna Graecia, Asia Minor; the sophisti- cated metropoleis of Alexandria and Antioch, and the Levant; and the Hellenized kingdoms and provinces of a later age. Almost a sixth of his poems center on one particular epoch of their his- tory: the confrontation between the independent Hellenistic kingdoms and the rising might of the Roman Republic, a confrontation that began in earnest in 200 BCE with the outbreak of the Second Macedonian War and ended in 30 BCE with the annexation of Ptolemaic Egypt.3 The 45 or so poems in question were written across the entire span of Cavafy’s adulthood, from 1893 to 1932. This is a subject to which he often returned, one he constantly reworked and re-imagined, exploring diverse angles and unexpected points of approach. Substantial reading was involved: chiefly Polybius, Plutarch, and Cassius Dio among ancient authors, but also works of secondary 1 I am happy to acknowledge my deep obligation to many of my colleagues, first and foremost to the faculty of the Michigan Modern Greek program Vassilios Lambropoulos (who originally suggested this project) and Artemis Leontis; then also to my colleagues Traianos Gagos, Elaine Gazda, David Potter, and Ruth Scodel, and to Beau Case, our departmental Field Librarian, for his help in tracking down books.

  • A DEDICATION to APHRODITE EPEKOOS for DEMETRIUS I SOTER and HIS FAMILY Aus: Zeitschrift Für Papyrologie Und Epigraphik 131 (2000) 106–110
    OLIVER D. HOOVER A DEDICATION TO APHRODITE EPEKOOS FOR DEMETRIUS I SOTER AND HIS FAMILY aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 131 (2000) 106–110 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 106 A DEDICATION TO APHRODITE EPEKOOS FOR DEMETRIUS I SOTER AND HIS FAMILY1 This inscribed marble plaque is said to have been brought to France from Syria at the beginning of the 20th century. In the early 1990s the French collection to which it belonged was sold and the piece came to the United States where it currently remains as part of a private collection. The stone measures 25.5 cm wide, 24.7 cm high and 2.6 cm thick. There is a trace of a raised molding 0.7cm wide on the upper left corner of the stone. The lower left and upper right corners are broken and missing. The stone ap- pears to be a cut piece of a marble stele reused for this inscription. The script is appropriate to the second century BC (although the form of the letter II appears more frequently in the third century) and the letters range in height from 20 to 10 mm. A space of 15-17 mm separates each line. ÑUp¢r ba!il°v! Dhmhtr¤ou ka‹ ba!il¤!!h! Laod¤kh! ka‹ t«n t°knvn 4 ÉAfrod¤t˙ §phkÒƒ tÚn bvmÚn ÉApollofãnh! ÉApollofãnou ı flereÊ!.

  • Queen Regency in the Seleucid Empire
    Interregnum: Queen Regency in the Seleucid Empire by Stacy Reda A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 © Stacy Reda 2014 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract An examination of the ancient sources indicates that there were possibly seven Queens Regent throughout the course of the Seleucid Dynasty: Apama, Laodice I, Berenice Syra, Laodice III, Laodice IV, Cleopatra I Thea, and Cleopatra II Selene. This thesis examines the institution of Queen Regency in the Seleucid Dynasty, the power and duties held by the Queen Regent, and the relationship between the Queen and her son—the royal heir. This thesis concludes that Queen Regency was not a set office and that there were multiple reasons and functions that could define a queen as a regent. iii Acknowledgements I give my utmost thanks and appreciation to the University of Waterloo’s Department of Classical Studies. The support that I have received from all members of the faculty during my studies has made a great impact on my life for which I will always be grateful. Special thanks to my advisor, Dr. Sheila Ager, for mentoring me through this process, and Dr. Maria Liston (Anthropology) for her support and guidance.

  • Lesson 13 History in the Making
    FOCAL TEXT BACKGROUND Daniel 11:1-45 Revelation 19:11-21 lesson 13 History in the Making MAIN IDEA The Bible is a divinely inspired book. (Mark 13:31) QUESTION TO EXPLORE How should we react when we see prophe- cy being fulfilled in our lifetime? STUDY AIM To realize that I must share the Gospel with as many people as possible because Jesus is coming soon QUICK READ The details of this pre-written history in the first 35 verses have already been BIBLE 100% verified by history, so we can have STUDY full confidence knowing that the rest of GUIDE prophecy is history in the making. 129 130 FAITH UNDER FIRE: A STUDY OF DANIEL Introduction Daniel 11 is the most detailed prophecy of any passage in Scripture. Further- more, the first 35 verses were fulfilled in the time between Daniel and Jesus, which makes this chapter one of the most important in the Bible. If predic- tive prophecy was as perfectly fulfilled as this chapter is then it is obvious that there is a master of time (God) who precisely told Daniel of what was to come. Critics of the Bible have argued that it all must have been written down after the fact. Their best argument, for such a conclusion, is that it is just not possible for someone to predict it as accurately as it happened. That is a circu- lar argument, like if someone says they do not believe in Jesus’ divinity and thus He could not perform the miracles, and He could not perform the mir- acles because He was not divine.
