Judah Maccabee "The Hammer" - Part 1/3 (Origins of the Maccabean Revolt)
Gil Kidron from A Podcast of Biblical Proportions joins me to bring you the incredible story of Judah Maccabee “The Hammer”. A Hebrew priest, turned guerrilla warlord, who would win spectacular battlefield victories in an unexpectedly fierce rebellion against the mighty Seleucid Empire during the 160s BC called the Maccabean Revolt. A conflict with origins laying in bitter Judean factionalism, between those embracing Hellenism versus ardent Hebrew traditionalists. Smouldering resentment that erupted into bloody civil violence due to the meddling of the erratic Seleucid King Antiochus IV.
