Ac fuit antea tempus, cum Germanos Galli virtute supe­ rarent, ultro bella inferrent, propter hominum multitudinem agrique inopiam trans Rhenum colonias mitterent. Itaque ea, quae fertilissima Germaniae sunt, loca circum Hercyniam silvam, quam Eratostheni et quibusdam Graecis fama notam esse video, quam illi Orcyniam appellant, Volcae Tectosages occupaverunt atque ibi consederunt. Quae gens ad hoc tempus his sedibus sese continet, summamque habet iustitiae et bel­ licae laudis opinionem. Nunc, quod in eadem inopia, egestate, patientia, qua (ante), Germani permanent, eodem victu et cultu corporis utuntur. Gallis'autem provinciarum propinquitas et transmarinarum rerum notitia multa ad copiam atque usus largitur, paulatim assuefacti superari multisque victi proeliis ne se quidem ipsi cum illis virtute comparant.

De transitu in Italiam Gallorum haec accepimus: Prisco Tarquinio Romae regnante Celtarum, quae pars Galliae tertia est, penes Bituriges summa imperii fuit; ii regem Celtico dabant. Ambigatus is fuit, virtute fortunaque cum sua tum publica praepollens, quod in imperio ejus Gallia adeo frugum hominumque fertilis fuit, ut abundans multitudo vix regi vi­ deretur posse. Hic magno natu ipse iam exonerare praegra­ vante turba regnum cupiens, Bellovesum ac Segovesum, sororis filios, inpigros iuvenes, missurum se esse in quas dii dedissent auguriis sedes ostendit: quantum" ipsi vellent numerum ho­ minum excirent, ne qua gens arcere advenientes posset. TumSegoveso sortibusdatiHercyneisaltus;Belloveso haud paulo laetiorem in Italiam viam di dabant. Is, quod his ex po­ pulis abundabat, Bituriges, Arvernos, Senones,Aeduos,Ambarros, Carnutes, Aulercos excivit. Profectus ingentibus peditum equi­ tumque copiis in Tricastinos venit. Alpes inde oppositae erant; quas inexsuperabiles visas haud equidem miror, nuUadum via, quod quidem continens memoria sit, nisi de Hercule fabulis credere libet, superatas. Ibi cum velut saeptos montium alti­ tudo teneret Gallos, circumspectarentque, quanam per juncta caelo.juga in alium orbem terrarum transirent, religio etiam tenuit, quod adlatum est, advenas quaerentes agrum ab Sa­ luvium gente oppugnari. Massilienses erant ii, navibus a Pha-' caea profecti. Id Galli fortunae suae omen rati, adiuvere, ut quem primum in terram egressi occupaverant locum patentibus Saluvis communirent. Ipsi per Taurinos saltusque J uliae Alpis —III— transcenderunt, fusisque acie Tuscis haud procul Ticino flumine, cum in quo consederant agrum Insubrium appellari audissent, cognomine Insubribus pago Haeduorum, ibi omen sequentes loci condidere urbem; Mediolanium appellarunt.

Hercynia silva. — Buiaemum (Bavím/m.)—- Gabreta silva. Meridiem versus terra paulatim sese elevat et iugum montium format Alpis cohaerens, quod orientem versus tendit, quasi Alpium pars esset. Hic etiam est Hercynia silva et gentes Suevorum, qui partim intra hanc silvam habitant. Apud quos etiam Buiaemum reperitur, regalis Marobodi sedes, in quem locuminter cae­ teros alios nominatim transtulerat et connationales suos, Mar­ comanos. (290). At gentes Suevorum habitant, ut dictum, partim intra, partim extra silvam usque ad Getas. (290). Hercynia silva est satis densa, magnis arboribusrepleta, complectiturque locis natura firmis ambitum sat magnum; in cujus medio jacet terra bene inhabitabilis, de' qua jam re­ tulimus (290). Quiiter fecerit de Gallia ad silvam Hercyniam, ei primo lacum (Brigantinum) transire, postea Istrum trajicere oportet, ulterius per territoria jam facilius pervia, montanas planities peragrans, iter ad silvam continuare poterit.

  • Tacito: Germania
    Tacito: Germania GERMANIA 1. I fiumi Reno e Danubio separano l'intera Germania da Galli, Reti e Pannoni; la reciproca paura o i monti la separano da Sarmati e Daci; le altre parti le cinge l'Oceano, abbracciando ampie penisole e isole di smisurata estensione, dove, in tempi recenti, abbiamo conosciuto alcuni popoli e re, che la guerra ci ha fatto scoprire. Il Reno, scaturito da inaccessibile e scoscesa vetta delle Alpi Retiche, piegando con lenta curva a occidente, va a sfociare nell'Oceano settentrionale. Il Danubio, sgorgando dalla catena del monte Abnoba, non molto elevato e dal dolce pendio, lambisce le terre di molti popoli, per poi gettarsi, da sei foci, nel Mar Pontico; la corrente d'una settima foce s'impaluda. 2. Propendo a credere i Germani una razza indigena, con scarsissime mescolanze dovute a immigrazioni o contatti amichevoli, perché un tempo quanti volevano mutare paese giungevano non via terra ma per mare, mentre l'Oceano, che si stende oltre sconfinato e, per così dire, a noi contrapposto, raramente è solcato da navi provenienti dalle nostre regioni. E poi, a parte i pericoli d'un mare tempestoso e sconosciuto, chi lascerebbe l'Asia, l'Africa o l'Italia per portarsi in Germania tra paesaggi desolati, in un clima rigido, in una terra triste da vedere e da starci se non per chi vi sia nato? In antichi poemi, unica loro forma di trasmissione storica, cantano il dio Tuistone nato dalla terra. A lui assegnano come figlio Manno, progenitore e fondatore della razza germanica e a Manno attribuiscono tre figli, dal nome dei quali derivano il proprio gli Ingevoni, i più vicini all'Oceano, gli Erminoni, stanziati in mezzo, e gli Istevoni, cioè tutti gli altri.

  • Germany in Prophecy BICOG Publication
    Germany in Prophecy BICOG Publication By Peter Salemi This booklet is not to be sold. It is a free educational service in the public interest, published by the British-Israel Church of God.] Germany in Prophecy The Bible is a book of governments. It dealt with the world ruling governments of the ancient world, and it deals with the modern day superpowers of Today! What does prophecy say about this coming Beast that will come on the world scene in the very near future? What nation will he come from? In the book of Revelation Jesus fights the Beast at his coming. In the Old Testament, prophecies, YHWH, who is Christ, fights the “Assyrian” at his coming, and then sets up the Kingdom of God. Notice the Old Testament prophecies: Isaiah 30 reveals the “Mountain of YHWH” being set up (verse 29), meaning the Kingdom of God, see Isaiah 2; Micah 4; Daniel 2:35, 40-45. Then, “... through the voice of YHWH shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod” (v.31). At the time of the setting up of the Kingdom of God, God will strike at the “Assyrian,” and defeat him because they make war with him. The method of destroying the Assyrian is by the “Voice” of God, by divine Command. As another scripture says, “Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.” (Isaiah 31:8).

  • Could Bible Prophecy Ignore Germany?
    Germany in Prophecy! Plain Truth Magazine December 1962 Volume: Vol XXVII, No.12 (In the original text published by the Worldwide Church of God under Herbert W Armstrong.) Khrushchev has promised the West a new crisis over Berlin. Will Russia sign a separate peace treaty with Communist East Germany? Here's what's really behind the struggle in Europe — and what history and prophecy say will be the outcome! WHERE is Germany mentioned in Biblical prophecy? Or are the German people mentioned at all? The German people stand today in the very shadow of the Iron Curtain. Germany at this moment holds the key to Europe's destiny and to Western defense. German industry and transportation constitute the heart and arteries of Europe. Without the beating of the German heart, Europe would quickly stagger and fall before the ravages of atheistic Communism. Germany has been the center of the world's two greatest wars and of the scourge of Nazism. Seventeen years ago, TWO YEARS AFTER THE NAZI MOVEMENT WENT UNDERGROUND, Germany appeared destroyed forever as a mighty nation. It seemed she could never rise again. Yet today — seventeen years after Germany was completely destroyed — today, with the Iron Curtain still dividing her people, Germany is once again the vibrant heart of Europe. We commonly hear of the economic "miracle of Germany." Never has there been anything like Germany's revival in history. But Germany's revival is also MILITARY and POLITICAL. This time Germany does not stand almost alone — she is the leading power in a gigantic European Combine — the Common Market.

  • Germany in Prophecy by Peter Salemi
    Germany in Prophecy By Peter Salemi The Bible is a book of governments. It dealt with the world ruling governments of the ancient world, and it deals with the modern day superpowers of Today! The Gospel itself is message about the last superpower that is to come, and that is the government or kingdom of God! Set up by Jesus Christ, and Jesus being its King! The Gospel is also an advance witness and warning to the NATIONS unless they repent, and be ready for the coming of the Kingdom of God! Now, what does prophecy say about this coming Beast that will come on the world scene in the very near future? Where will he come from? What Happened to Assyria? After the fall of Assyria by Babylon, what happened to the Assyrians? This nation seems to have vanished from History? Or did they? The Bible plainly says that Assyria will play a vital role in this end time. What happened to them? The book of Nahum shows that these people migrated NORTH in to the mountains towards Europe: “Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them” (3:18). The only mountains that are in the region of Assyria are the Caucasus Mountains between the Black and the Caspian Sea. The Assyrian nation was situated just SOUTH of those mountains, and it was often a place of refuge from danger. In the book of Kings the princes of Assyria took refuge there: “So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
