August 31, 12: Birth date of Gaius Caligula, Roman Emperor. Caligula was crowned in 37 and murdered in 41. Life for Jews during his reign was part of the downward spiral that would result in three rebellions by the Jews over the next one hundred years. Caligula thought he was divine and insisted on his statue being placed in the Temple at Jerusalem. His efforts were twice thwarted and his untimely death prevented him from taking vengeance against his Jewish subject.[1]

The ancient city of Petra, which was carved into the desert cliffs of modern-day Jordan, might look inhospitably bone-dry today, but new archaeological evidence shows that its first-century inhabitants took advantage of what little water reached the region to farm wheat, grapes and possibly olives just outside the city.

Researchers say extensive terrace farming and dam construction in an agricultural suburb north of Petra began about 2,000 years ago — sometime before the Romans took control of the city from the Nabataeans in A.D. 106. The Nabataeans were a people who wrote using an Aramaic language and controlled caravan tradehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png throughout the region. (A small number of the Dead Sea Scrolls were apparently written in Aramaic.)[2]

"No doubt the explosion of agricultural activity in the first century and the increased wealth that resulted from the wine and oil production made Petra an exceptionally attractive prize for Rome," researcher Christian Cloke, a doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati, said in a statement. "The region around Petra not only grew enough food to meet its own needs, but also would have been able to provide olives, olive oil, grapes and wine for trade. This robust agricultural production would have made the region a valuable asset for supplying Roman forces on the empire's eastern frontier."

The researchers involved in the Brown University Petra Archaeological Project (BUPAP) say they found evidence of quite impressive systems to dam riverbeds and redirect rainwater from the region's brief and torrential winter downpours to the hillside farming terraces north of the city. Meanwhile, Petra's inhabitants took advantage of the broad watershed of sandstone hills that naturally guided water to the city center by building a complex system of pipes and channels to direct water to underground cisterns for storage.

"Perhaps most significantly, it's clear that they had considerable knowledge of their surrounding topography and climate," Cloke said. "The Nabataeans differentiated watersheds and the zones of use for water: water collected and stored in the city itself was not cannibalized for agricultural uses. The city's administrators clearly distinguished water serving the city's needs from water to be redirected and accumulated for nurturing crops."

These initial conclusions from the first three seasons of BUPAP fieldwork promise more exciting discoveries about how the inhabitants of Petra cultivated the outlying landscape and supported the city's population, the researchers noted. The presence of highly developed systems of landscape modification and water management at Petra also offer insight into geopolitical changes and Roman imperialism.

Cloke will present the findings January 4 at the Archaeological Institute of America annual meeting in Seattle.

13 CE: Ancient Carving Shows Stylishly Plump African Princess

Owen Jarus, LiveScience Contributor

Date: January 3, 2013 Time: 09:07 AM ET

A 2,000-year-old relief carved with an image of what appears to be a, stylishly overweight, princess has been discovered in an "extremely fragile" palace in the ancient city of Meroë, in Sudan, archaeologists say.

At the time the relief was made, Meroë was the center of a kingdom named Kush, its borders stretching as far north as the southern edge of Egypt. It wasn't unusual for queens (sometimes referred to as "Candaces") to rule, facing down the armies of an expanding Rome.

The sandstone relief shows a woman smiling, her hair carefully dressed and an earring on her left ear. She appears to have a second chin and a bit of fat on her neck, something considered stylish, at the time, among royal women from Kush.

Team leader Krzysztof Grzymski presented the relief, among other finds from the palace at Meroë, at an Egyptology symposium held recently at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.

Researchers don't know the identity of the woman being depicted, but based on the artistic style the relief appears to date back around 2,000 years and show someone royal. "It's similar to other images of princesses," Grzymski told LiveScience in an interview. He said that the headdress hasn't survived and it cannot be ruled out that it actually depicts a queen.

Why royal women in Kush preferred to be depicted overweight is a long-standing mystery. "There is a distinct possibility that the large size of the Candaces represented fertility and maternity," wrote the late Miriam Ma'at-Ka-Re Monges, who was a professor at California State University, Chico, and an expert on Kush, in an article published in The Encyclopedia of Black Studies (Sage Publications, 2005).

An ancient palace

The discovery occurred in 2007 as Grzymski's team was exploring a royal palace in the city, trying to determine its date. The sandstone blocks that made up its foundation were "extremely fragile," according to Grzymski, and the team found that the palace dated to late in the life of Kush's existence. The blocks were re-used in antiquity by the palace's builders and were originally from buildings that stood in earlier times.

When they found the relief it "was loose and falling apart so we just took it out," Grzymski said. It was brought to a museum in Khartoum, Sudan's modern capitalhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png, for safekeeping. "There's always a danger of robbers coming and taking [them] out, so many of those decorated blocks were in danger."

They found many other decorated blocks as well, Grzymski said. Because they had been re-used in antiquity the blocks were out of order and presented researchers with a giant jigsaw puzzle.

"Ideally, I would like to dismantle this whole wall, this foundation wall, and take out the decorated blocks and see if we would be able reconstruct some other structures from which the blocks came," Grzymski told the Toronto audience.

It's one of many, many, tasks that need to be done in the ancient city. "It's considered one of the largest archaeological sites in Africa," Grzymski said of Meroë. "This site will be worked on for a hundred years perhaps before it's fully explored."

Grzymski is a curator at the Royal Ontario Museum and the symposium was organized by the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities and the museum's Friends of Ancient Egypt group.

14 CE: When Augustus dies in Rome, in 14 CE, he is succeeded by his adopted son Tiberius, 14-37 A.D.,[5] who tries to hold the empire together by curbing spending.[6]

15 CE: The Pharisaic leader Hillel issues decrees to ease economic destress. Lenders would refuse to make loans to the poor close to the sabbatical year, when, according to the Torah, unpaid debts are to be forgiven. Hillel institutes the prozbul, by which the loans are channeled through a court that is not subject to the sabbatical year restriction.[7]

15-16 A.D.: Ishmael ben Fabus High Priest of Israel 15-16 under Herodians and Romans.[8].

15-26 CE: 4 High Priests were appointed by Valerius Gratus.

Ishmael, son of Phiabi (a short tenure),

Eleazar, son of Ananus.

Simon son of Camithus.

Caiaphas, son-in-law of Ananus.[9]

16 AD: Battle of the Weser River (Battle of Minden) between Romans (Germanicus) and Arminius, chief of the Cherusci.[10]

16-17 A.D.: Eleazar ben Ananus High Priest of Israel 16-17 under Herodians and Romans.[11].

17 CE: Jews of Syria and Judea ask Rome for a substantial tax reduction. In addition to provincial tax levies, they have been paying heavy duty on commerce between provinces, often collected by Jewish officials, and serving state labor. Roman governors like Pontius Pilate (26-36) dip into the Jerusalem Temple’s treasury for emergency funds.[12]

17-18 A.D.: Simon ben Camithus High Priest of Israel 17-18 under Herodians and Romans.[13].

18 to 36 A.D.: Joseph Caiaphas High Priest of Israel 18-36 under Herodians and Romans.[14]. Son-in-law of the high priest Ananas or Annas, Caiaphas is high priest of Jerusalem Temple. [1][15] Members of this family were not only involved in Jesus’s trial but were also major players in the persecution of the first Christians. Acts 4:5-12 notes that Ananus, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, “and all who were of the high priestly family” took the lead in questioning Peter and John about Jesus’ activities and beliefs.[2][16] Caiaphas had married one of Annas’s daughters and accordingly served in Annas’s shadow, as a puppet priest during his his long reign from 18 to 36 A.D. Luke refers to the “high priesthood of “Annas and Caiaphas” as if they held joint office.

19 CE: Roman emperor Tiberius expels Jews from Rome. Expulsion is reported by Roman historical writers, Suetonius, Josephus, and Cassius Dio.[17]

26 A.D.

After his visit to Jerusalem at the age of twelve, Jesus disappears from the pages of the Gospels until he reappears somewhere around 26 A.D., at the age of thirty, at which time he is baptized by John the Baptist, so called because John taught, in accordance with the Essene creed, that men could cleanse their souls symbolically through “baptism,” that is, through immersion in water. This was not an unorthodox or heretical notion among the Jews, who for centuries had practiced one or another form of water purification ritual. John also proclaimed that he was the messenger of God, and that his mission was that of ushering in the kingdom of God.[18] John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus. Mark’s Gospel begins with a prophecy fromn Isaiah that predicts the coming of John the Baptist, preaching a message of repentance. It then moves right to the beginning of Jesus’s public ministry. Mark 1:1-8.[19]
[20]
[21]

Jesus was a stone Mason, a “Tektah” some people say carpenter but really it is translated from greek as a stone Mason.[22]

About 26 A.D.

God became a human being. The opening of John’s Gospel shows Jesus (the word) to have been with God at the beginning of time and creation. After proclaiming Jesus’ deity through these statements, John begins the story of Jesus’s human experience just prior to his baptism around 26 A.D. John 1:1-18.[23]

All Jews worshiped one God and believed in the divine election of Israel, the divine origin of the Torah, repentance, and forgiveness, but new research hads focused on the different emphases associated

Later Christian tradition put Jesus’ last meal with his disciples on Thursday evening and his crucifixion on Friday. We now know that is one day off. Jesus’ last meal was Wednesday night, and he was crucified on Thursday, the 14th of the Jewish month Nisan. The Passover meal itself was eaten Thjursday night, at sundown, as the 15th of Nisan began. Jesus never ate that Passover meal. He had died at 3 P.M. on Thurday.

The confusion arose because all the gospels say that there was a rush to get his body off the cross ande buried before sundown because the “Sabbath” was near. Everyone assumed the reference to the Sabbath had to be Saturday, so the crucifixion must have been on a Friday. However, as Jews know, the day of Passover itself is also a “Sabbath” or rest day, no matter what weekday it falls on . In the year A.D. 30, Friday the 15th of the Nisan was also a Sabbath, so two Sabbaths occurred back to back. Friday and Saturday. Matthew seems to know this as he says that the women who visited Jesus’ tomb came early Sunday morning “after the Sabbaths” the original Greek is plural (Matthew 28:1.)[24]

26-36 CE: Pontius Pilate prefect of Judea. Presumably, Caiaphas had been a congenial High Priest to Pilate, who had found him in office on his arrival in 26 and, far from exercising his right of appointment, had kept him there through the whole of his ten year procuratorship. [25]

Today, the Jewish people stand out as unusual for having one of the few ethnic religions in the West. Yet until the ascension of Christianity, it was only one of many tribal religions that melded faith and ancestry. [26]

c. 27 A.D.: Herod Antipas marries his brother’s wife, drawing the condemnation of John the Baptizer. The ministry of Jesus begins.[1][27] John the Baptist and Jesus were cousins. [2][28]

Dating Evidence: Relics Could Be of John the Baptist

ScienceDaily (June 18, 2012) — New dating evidence supports claims that bones found under a church floor in Bulgaria may be of John the Baptist, who is described in the Bible as a leading prophet and relative of Jesus Christ. A team from the Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit at Oxford University dated a knucklebone from the right hand to the 1st century AD, a date which fits with the widely held view of when he would have lived. The researchers say they were surprised when they discovered the very early age of the remains adding, however, that dating evidence alone cannot prove the bones to be of John the Baptist.

The bones were originally discovered in 2010 by archaeologist Kazimir Popkonstantinov, excavating under an ancient church on an island in Bulgaria known as Sveti Ivan, which translates into English as St John. The knucklebone was one of six human bones, including a tooth and the face part of a cranium, found in small marble sarcophagus under the floor near the altar. Three animal bones were also inside the sarcophagus. Oxford professors Thomas Higham and Christopher Ramsey attempted to radiocarbon date four human bones, but only one of them contained a sufficient amount of collagen to be dated successfully.

Professor Higham said: "We were surprised when the radiocarbon dating produced this very early age. We had suspected that the bones may have been more recent than this, perhaps from the third or fourth centuries. However, the result from the metacarpal hand bone is clearly consistent with someone who lived in the early first century AD. Whether that person is John the Baptist is a question that we cannot yet definitely answer and probably never will."

Former Oxford student Dr Hannes Schroeder and Professor Eske Willerslev, both from the University of Copenhagen, also reconstructed the complete mitochondrial DNA genome sequence from three of the human bones to establish that the bones were all from the same individual. Significantly, they identified a family group of genes (mtDNA haplotype) as being a group most commonly found in the Near East, which is better known as the Middle East today -- the region where John the Baptist would have originated from. They also established that the bones were probably of a male individual after an analysis of the nuclear DNA from samples.

Dr Schroeder said: "Our worry was that the remains might have been contaminated with modern DNA. However, the DNA we found in the samples showed damage patterns that are characteristic of ancient DNA, which gave us confidence in the results. Further, it seems somewhat unlikely that all three samples would yield the same sequence considering that they had probably been handled by different people. Both of these facts suggest that the DNA we sequenced was actually authentic. Of course, this does not prove that these were the remains of John the Baptist but nor does it refute that theory as the sequences we got fit with a Near Eastern origin."

The Bulgarian archaeologists, who excavated the bones, also found a small tuff box (made of hardened volcanic ash) close to the sarcophagus. The tuff box bears inscriptions in ancient Greek that directly mention John the Baptist and his feast day, and text asking God to 'help your servant Thomas'. One theory is that the person referred to as Thomas had been given the task of bringing the relics to the island. An analysis of the box has shown that the tuff box has a high waterproof quality and is likely to have originated from Cappadocia, a region of modern-day Turkey. The Bulgarian researchers believe that the bones probably came to Bulgaria via Antioch, an ancient Turkish city, where the right hand of St John was kept until the tenth century.

In a separate study, another Oxford researcher Dr Georges Kazan has used historical documents to show that in the latter part of the fourth century, monks had taken relics of John the Baptist out of Jerusalem and these included portions of skull. These relics were soon summoned to Constantinople by the Roman Emperor who built a church to house them there. Further research by Dr Kazan suggests that the reliquary used to contain them may have resembled the sarcophagus-shaped casket discovered at Sveti Ivan. Archaeological and written records suggest that these reliquaries were first developed and used at Constantinople by the city's ruling elite at around the time that the relics of John the Baptist are said to have arrived there.

Dr Kazan said: "My research suggests that during the fifth or early sixth century, the monastery of Sveti Ivan may well have received a significant portion of St John the Baptist's relics, as well as a prestige reliquary in the shape of a sarcophagus, from a member of Constantinople's elite. This gift could have been to dedicate or rededicate the church and the monastery to St John, which the patron or patrons may have supported financially."

The scientific analysis of the relics undertaken by Tom Higham and Christopher Ramsey at Oxford, and their colleagues in Copenhagen was supported by the National Geographic Society. The documentary 'Head of John the Baptist', featuring the scientists' work was shown on the National Geographic Channel on 17 June 2012.

28-30 A.D.

100_0442

After his visit to Jerusalem at the age of twelve, Jesus disappears from the pages of the Gospels until he reappears somewhere between 28 and 30 A.D. at the age of thirty, at which time he is baptized by John the Baptist, so called because John taught, in accordance with the Essene creed, that men could cleanse their souls symbolically through “baptism,” that is, through immersion in water. This was not an unorthodox or heretical notion among the Jews, who for centuries had practiced one or another form of water purification ritual. John also proclaimed that he was the messenger of God, and that his mission was that of ushering in the kingdom of God.[30]

Years earlier, on first seeing Jesus at the start of his public ministry a prophet named John the Baptist had proclaimed, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!” (John1:29). This was reference to a temple ritual in which an unblemished lamb was sacrificed to atone for sins.[31]

“Now some of the Jews thought that the destruction of Herod’s army came from God, and that very justly, as a punishment of what he did against John, that was called the Baptist”… [32]

“…For Herod slew him, who was a good man, and commanded the Jews to exercise virtue, both as to righteousness towards one another, and piety towards God, and so to come to baptism; for that the washing [with water] would be acceptable to him, if they made use of it, not in order to the putting away [or the remission] of some sins [only], but for the purification of the body; supposing still that the soul was thoroughly purified beforehand by righteousness.”[33]

For most Jews of that era, faith was rooted in the dictates of the Bible and the ancestral ties reaching back almost two thousand years Jesus proposes what appear to be only subtle alterations to Jews’ compact with God.

“Do not think I have come to abolish the law or the prophets,” Matthew 5:17-18 quotes Jesus. “I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.”[34]

In the winter before His death Jesus Christ brought His disciples to Caesarea Philippi where He revealed to His disciples for the first time that He was indeed the Jewish Messiah. The city of Caesarea Philippi, also known as ancient Paneas was situated way in the north about 30 miles past the Sea of Galilee on a terrace at the foot of Mount Hermon on its southern slope, about 1150 feet above sea level. The area had an unusually beautiful setting, it was very lush and full of life and it has always been one of the main sources of the Jordan River, Josephus saying that it was the chief source. The ancient Canaanites built a sanctuary to Baal at Paneas, the Greeks and Romans both built sanctuaries there because of the cave of Pan. Inside the cave was a seemingly bottomless pit with an unlimited quantity of water which made the pagans marvel.





Paneas was a peculiarly remarkable place in its natural appearance with a sweeping view of the upper Jordan River Valley. Josephus considered it the main source of nthe Jordan River, and the ancient Greeks claimed the water that fed the Jordan actually flowed from the nearby cave. Later Josephus reported that an earthquake altered the area so the water source changed to underground springs in front of the cave. The area produced a lush oasis of life and overlooked the very fertile northern portion of the Jordan River Valley. It was located near the city of Dan 4 miles to the east near a trade road coming from the western Phoenician ports of Tyre and Sidon, to Damascus which was about 40 miles to the northeast.

The Place of Jesus' Great Revelation
Caesarea Philippi was mentioned only twice in the Bible, both referring to the same event where Jesus chose to reveal to His disciples that He was the Messiah. He also announced His coming death in Jerusalem and the end of His earthly ministry and beginning of theirs. It is a mystery why Jesus shose this place to reveal who He was to His disciples, so far north of the Sea of Galilee, yet there are some interesting clues. Caesarea Philippi was the location the Cave of Pan, the place of the pagan Gate of Hades. It was in this area that the first king of Israel (Jeroboam) led the northern kingdom of Israel into idolatry. This was also the same place where the Greeks and Romans received revelations from the god Pan who was mentioned in classical writings as a "seer" or fortune teller and a giver of revelations. At Caesarea Philippi Jesus turned to His disciples and asked them who the multitudes thought He was. They responded that some thought He was John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. Then Jesus asked them who they thought He was and Peter answered, "you are the Christ the Son of the living God" (Matthew 16:15-16). Jesus blessed Peter and revealed to them "upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18

The Cave of Pan

The Cave of Pan (or Grotto of Pan) was amazing because of many reasons, the waters flowed out of the cave and fed the Jordan River, there was a bottomless pit inside that contained so much water that it could not be measured. The place was so striking that it impressed Alexander the Great, and the Greeks built a sanctuary there. Natural features not only impressed the Greeks but they believed them to be a dwelling place of the gods, and nothing produced more awe and terror than a place identified as a cave where the god Pan dwelt. He was responsible for the scary noises in the forest and many mysteries were associated with him that brought great fear. The Romans were heavily influenced by the Greeks and they followed many of their religious traditions. Today the cave can be seen by any tourist in Israel.

Josephus on the Cave at Paneas, Caesarea Philippi

"So when he had conducted Caesar to the sea, and was returned home, he built him a most beautiful temple, of the whitest stone in Zenodorus's country, near the place called Panium (Panias, Caesarea Philippi). This is a very fine cave in a mountain, under which there is a great cavity in the earth, and the cavern is abrupt, and prodigiously deep, and full of a still water; over it hangs a vast mountain; and under the caverns arise the springs of the river Jordan. Herod adorned this place, which was already a very remarkable one, still further by the erection of this temple, which he dedicated to Caesar." - Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews 15,10,3

"And when Caesar had further bestowed upon him another additional country, he built there also a temple of white marble, hard by the fountains of Jordan: the place is called Panium (Panias, Caesarea Philippi), where is a top of a mountain that is raised to an immense height, and at its side, beneath, or at its bottom, a dark cave opens itself; within which there is a horrible precipice, that decends abruptly to a vast depth: it contains a mighty quantity of water, which is immovable; and when anybody lets down anything to measure the depth of the earth beneath the water, no length of cord is sufficient to reach it. Now the fountains of Jordan rise at the roots of this cavity outwardly; and, as some think, this is the utmost origin of Jordan." - Josephus, Wars of the Jews 1,21,3

From Dan to Beersheba

The Bible says that the prophet Samuel was known in Israel from "Dan to Beersheba", which was a way of saying from north to south, or all the land of Israel.

1 Samuel 3:19-20 "And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established as a prophet of the LORD."

Judges 20:1 "Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh."

The city of Dan was located far in the north and very close to Caesarea Philippi, Dan is only a few miles from Banias and about 40 miles away from the Syrian City of Damascus.

Dan

In the history of Israel Dan was the place where Jeroboam I, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel offered sacrifices to a golden calf and led Israel into idolatry (1 Kings 12:26-28). [35]



According to the Bible more of Christ’s miracles occurred in Capernaum than any other city. It was in Capernaum that his legend as a teacher took root.[1][36]

“They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught.”[37]



Jesus said:

“Do you see all these things?

I tell you the truth, not one stone here will be left on another;

Everyone will be thrown down.”

Mathew 24:2

Jesus prophesized that Jerusalem would be destroyed by the Gentiles.

“They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations.

Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”

Luke 21:24

August 31, 38: Riots broke out in Alexandria Egypt after the Jews spurned an order by the Roman Prefect Flaccus to place a statue of Emperor Caligula in the local synagogue. This was an outgrowth of antagonism between the Jews of Alexandria and some of their pagan neighbors. The pagans were angered by the Jews celebrating Caligula’s decision to restore Agrippa, a descendant of the Hasmonneans to the Jewish kingship in Palestine. They knew that the Jews could not worship a statue so by forcing statue of Caligula into the synagogue, Apion, the pagan lead

er knew he was asking for trouble. The violence ended and Flaccus was recalled to Rome. But this was not the end of the trouble much of which rooted in the fact that some pagans begrudged the Jews their commercial success and withed to do away with them as competitors. This would not be the last time that those who sought to oust the Jews from commercial ventures did so under the guise of religion.[38]

dary of Pennsylvania ; and that a meridian drawn from the western
extremity thereof to the northern line of said State be the western line

August 31, 1782: George Croghan. (Pronounced CROW an—although some say CROW gun). Indian name was Anaquarunda. Born in Dublin c1720. Immigrated to PA in 1741. Died at Passaynunk, PA (Philadelphia) on August 31, 1782. Croghan traveled to the western frontier where he established trading operations with Indians in western PA and in Ohio. He established a post on the Great Miami River at an Indian village known as Pickawillany in 1749 that attracted traders for hundreds of miles in all directions. (The Great Miami River flows south through western Ohio to enter the Ohio River near present-day Cincinnati.) Croghan represented Pennsylvania (the Penn Proprietary) in several Indian relations. Owner/operator of extensive trading operations in Ohio and western PA with central facility at the foot of Pine Creek (site of Etna, PA). The French resented Croghan’s trading to the point they put a price on his head. “King of the Traders.” Croghan’s prices for goods sold to the Indians was said to be half or one-quarter that of the French. The French were never able to price their goods as cheaply as Croghan and the other “English” traders —plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. Possibly born and baptized Roman Catholic, but converted to the Anglican Church in the colonies. Known for giving Saint Patrick’s Day parties, but also for strong anti-Catholic sentiments.

August 31, 1937: A month after his visit to Döhle, he met with the American Consul George Wadsworth (August 1937), to whom he professed his belief that America was remote from imperialist ambitions and therefore able to understand that Zionism 'represented a hostile and imperialist aggression directed against an inhabited country’. In a further interview with Wadsworth on August 31, he expressed his fears that Jewish influence in the United States might persuade the country to side with Zionists.[110] In the same period he courted the French government by expressing a willingness to assist them in the region.[111][59]



August 31, 1939: Germany and the Soviet signed a Union Non-Aggression pact. If Germany were to invade Poland, then the Soviet Union would not interfere. The pact would lead to the Soviets and Germany dividing Poland. Britain reacted with a call for the mobilization of its civil and military forces.

As a result 2,019 women, 864 men, and 817 children were taken away to pits in Ponar forsts and all shot dead. This event is notable for two reasons. First it is unusual because it includes the report of Jewish Resistance. Second it is unusual because the Nazis supplied a specific reason for killing Jews.[64]

Force on Vietnam, is invited to attend the session. “A garden path to tragedy,” is the way

Kattenburg describes Vietnam policy, when he is asked to speak. He has listened for an hour,

stunned by ignorance around the table concerning the present situation and Vietnamese history.

Rusk, McNamara, RFK and LBJ all glare at him after that opening. Kattenburg is flustered, but

goes on. “ At this juncture,” he says, “it would be better for us to make the decision to get out honorably .

. . In from six months to a year, as the South Vietnamese people see we are losing the war, they will

gradually go to the other side, and we will be obliged to leave.” Rusk tell Kattenburg: “We will not pull

out of Vietnam until the war is won.” McNamara adds: “We are winning this war!” Kattenburg is

never again invited to a high-level meeting and is soon transferred to the U.S. Embassy in the

new country of Guyana.

Return cables from the White House to Saigon this day order the embassy and the

military mission to recall and destroy all copies of the messages received and sent during the

week that began with the cable of August 24. In Washington, the same orders, over the

[2] Pope, Netanyahu spar over Jesus' native language



JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Pope Francis and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traded words on Monday over the language spoken by Jesus two millennia ago.

"Jesus was here, in this land. He spoke Hebrew," Netanyahu told Francis, at a public meeting in Jerusalem in which the Israeli leader cited a strong connection between Judaism and Christianity.

"Aramaic," the pope interjected.

"He spoke Aramaic, but he knew Hebrew," Netanyahu shot back.

Like many things in the Middle East, where the pope is on the last leg of a three-day visit, modern-day discourse about Jesus is complicated and often political. [ID:nL6N0OC0X6]

A Jew, Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the Roman-ruled region of Judea, now the Israeli-occupied West Bank. He grew up in Nazareth and ministered in Galilee, both in northern Israel, and died in Jerusalem, a city revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims, and to which Israelis and Palestinians lay claim.

Palestinians sometimes describe Jesus as a Palestinian. Israelis object to that.

Israeli linguistics professor Ghil'ad Zuckermann told Reuters that both Netanyahu, son of a distinguished Jewish historian, and the pope, the spiritual leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, had a point.

"Jesus was a native Aramaic speaker," he said about the largely defunct Semitic language closely related to Hebrew. "But he would have also known Hebrew because there were extant religious writings in Hebrew."

Zuckermann said that during Jesus' time, Hebrew was spoken by the lower classes - "the kind of people he ministered to".

[54] The regiment had spent a glorious fall campaigning in the Valley with Sheridan’s Army of the Shenandoah. The campaign must have sparked memories of Vicksburg with its excellent jayhawking, victorious fighting, and complete confidence in their commander. As at Vicksburg, the cost of success had been excessive. On August 31, 1864, the 24th Iowa had numbered 668 enlisted men and 29 commissioned officers. After the Battle of Cedar Creek, only 9 officers and 238 enlisted men were present for duty. The regiment had lost their respected commander, Colonel Wilds, as well as most of the Company captains who had led the 24th at Vicksburg. Though destined to served their full three year enlistment, the veterans of the 24th Iowa had completed service as a combat regiment. (Longley, Annals of Iowa (Oct., 1894) pp 446, 553, 562.)

[56] MILTON R. HUNTER, physician, Catawba. Of the great number who represent some profession, and especially that of the medical, there are comparatively few who, by hard study and constant devotion to their practice, have reached a more perfect degree of security in their profession than that already attained by Dr. Hunter. His grandfather, Jonathan Hunter, was a native of England, who emigrated to Philadelphia, where he learned the tailoring business, afterward moving to Virginia, where he remained until 1805, when he removed with his family to Pleasant Township, Clark Co., Ohio, and entered Sec. 22, in the western part of the township, where he resided until his death. Jonathan, Jr., the father of Milton R., was one of his sons, and was born in Loudoun Co., Va., March 14, 1786; came to Ohio with his parents, and served in the war of 1812, which broke out a few years after their coming to this State. He followed farming all his life; came into possession of the old homestead, and continued to live in the same section until his death, Nov. 18, 1845. Milton R. was born upon his father's farm, in Pleasant Township, March 24, 1817, and his early life was spent assisting; in the farm labors and in attendance at the district school. Upon attaining manhood he began teaching, and in his leisure time read medicine, studying under Dr. J. S. Howell, of Springfield, Ohio. He began the practice of his profession at Catawba, in 1840, and, after attending lectures at the Eclectic Medical Institute of Cincin nati, Ohio, he graduated in 1852. He was married, Dec. 27, 1842, to Miss Nancy J. Goodlove, daughter of C. Goodlove, she dying April 3, 1852, leaving two children Mary C. and Franklin C. The Doctor was again married, Nov. 6, 1860, to Mrs. Sarah McConkey, the daughter of D. C. and Sarah Skillman, from which union they have had three children born to them, viz., Mary, Frederick M. and Sallie C. Dr. Hunter has now been practicing medicine in Catawba more than forty years, and has always done the biggest portion of the professional work in his vicinity. He is a well read, well-informed gentleman, courteous and generous toward all with whom he comes in contact, pleasant and affable in his manners, and enjoys the confidence of a large circle of the warmest friends, who respect his ability as a physician, and admire his manly integrity in all things. Has been a member of the M. E. Church for forty-one years; believes in the divinity of Jesus Christ, and that the Bible is a revelation of God. http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Clark/ClarkPleasantbio.htm
