This Day…

55: Tiberius Claudius Caesar Britannicus, heir to the Roman Emperorship, dies under mysterious circumstances in Rome clearing the way for Nero to become Emperor Would things have been better or worse if Britannicus had ruled instead of Nero? Nobody can say for sure since there is no record of his views on the Jewish people, Judea or Jerusalem. . Nero’s record regarding the Jews is a mixed bag (at least he did blame them for burning down Rome), he did appoint four inept governors to rule over Judea and appointed Vespasian to put down the Jewish Revolt when it began in 66. Given the rest of Nero’s behavior, the world (including the Jewish world) would have been better off with Britannicus.[1]

55 and 56 A.D.

Toward the end of his stay in Ephesus (55-56 A.D.), Paul wrote the letter now known as 1 Corinthians to the Corinthian church. However, this was not Paul’s first letter to the Corinthian church. (5:9) In the course of history the first letter was lost, so his next letter to the Corinthians became known as Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 1:1-4:21.[2]

56-57 A.D.

Opposition from certain “apostles” at Corinth forced Paul to make a “painful visit” (2:1)., during which he was verbally abused. He then sent a “severe letter” demanding that his opponents be disciplined (2:3-9;8:8-12). Sometime later, Titus came to Paul in Macedonia with news that his opponent had repented but that the church had been hurt when Paul visited them. T respond to this and to further the collection for the poor in Jerusalem, Paul penned another letter between 56 and 57 A.D., which is now known as 2 Corinthians. 2 Corintians 1:1-2:4.[3]

56-57 A.D.

During Paul’s three month stay in Greece in 56 and 57 A.D. (Acts 20:2-3), he wrote his letter to the Roman believers. In this letter, he thoroughly explained God’s plan of salvation and how salvation should affect the lives of believers. Romans 1:1-32[4]

56 A.D.

Paul began his return trip to Jerusalem near the end of his third missionary journey, around 56 A.D. Acts 20:7-38.[5]

58 A.D.

There is little doubt that the apostle Paul was accepted into the inner circles of Jesus’ original followers. Indeed, in the year A.D. 58 he was arrested and brought before the Jewish High Prtiest Ananias, accused of being “ a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes” (Acts 24:5). According to Paul’s report, and also that of Luke, James the Just, Peter, and John, the three “pillars” of the church, gave him the “right hand of fellowship” and publicly endorsed his missionary preachiong to the Gentile Roman world (Galatians 2:9.) It was what he preached and taught that began to create problems.[6]

58 A.D.

The book of Acts records a subsequent visit of Paul to Jerusalem in 58 A.D. when the issue was raised directly. Paul appeared before James, who was still clearly in charge, as well as the “elders” of the community. They confronted him with a report they had received that he was teaching “the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe the tradition of Judaism” (Acts 21:21).

“To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews; to those under the Torah, I became as one under the Torah, though not actually being under the Torah, that I might win those under the Torah; to those outside the Torah, I became as one outside the Torah, not bgeing without law, but under the Torah of Christ, that I might win those outside the Torah.”, (1 Corinthians 9:20-21)[7]

Acts ends Paul’s story abruptly in 58 A.D. and Luke wants to project a picture of reconciliation and harmony in his final scene between James and Paul.[8]

60 A.D.

During his Roman imprisonment, Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesian believers (60 A.D.). Ephesians 1:1-3:21.[9]

60 A.D.

Around the time Paul wrote Ephesians (60 A.D.), he also wrote to the believers at Colosse concerning a heretical movement that combined Greek philosophy with Jewish legalism. Colossians 1:1-4:18.[10]

60 A.D.

Paul sent a letter to Philemon along with his letter to the Colossian church (60 A.D.). In the letter to Philemon, Paul asked Philemon to forgive and reinstate his runaway slave, nesimus.Philemon 1:1-25. [11]

c.60-92 C.E. Thomas. Unlike the four canonical gospels, which combine stories with sayings, Thomas is a collection of 114 sayings attributed to Jesus (including brief dialogues), supposedly transcribed by Didymus Judas Thomas, one of the Twelve. Some of the sayings contradict those found in the canonical gospels.[12]

61 A.D.

Paul wrote his letter to the Phiippians believers in 61 A.D., during his Roman imprisonment. In his letter he thanked the Philippians for the gifts they had sent him. He also encouraged the Philippians to remain strong in their faith. Philippians 1:1-2:30.[13]

It is surely an irony of history that the high priest Annas, son of the Annas who had presided at the trial of Jesus, was behind the murder of James, also at the season of Passover in the year 62 A.D.[14]

Following the death of James in 62 A.D., Eusebius reported that the remaining apostles gathered with those left of the family of the Lortd and they took counsel together as to who would succeed James. He wrote that “they all unanimously decided that Simeon the son of Clophas, was worthy of the throne.” Eusebius noted that this Clophas, mentioned in the gospel of John, was the brother of Joseph, huband of Mary,a dn thus also of Davidic lineage. There is good evidence that Clophas, legally the uncle of Jesus, was the second husband of Mary his mother, based on Levitate law.[15]

The cause of the upcoming war were of course complex but Josephus, having lived through it all, drew a most startling conclusion when he wrote:



But what more than all else incited them to the war was an ambiguous oracle, likewise found in their sacred scriptures, to the effect that at that time one from their country would become ruler of the world. This theyu understood to mean someone of their own race, and many of their wise men went astray in their interpretation of it. The oracle, however, in reality signified the sovereingnty of Vespasian, who was proclaimed Emperor on Jewish soil.

What Josephus asserts here is that the chief cause of the war was a religious one involving the expectation of the coming of the Jewish Davidic Messiah. According to Josephus it was a messianic fervor that fueled the fires of revolt. The population was convinced that God would intervene and not only rout the Romans from

Palestine, but, as the Hebrew Prophets had predicted, establish his chosen King as ruler over all nations. The specific “oracle”Josephus had in mind was evidently the “Seventy Weeks” prophecy of the book of Daniel that had market out a final apocalyptic period of 490 years that included the coming of an “anointed prince” or Messiah figure (Daniel 9:25). But ion retyrospect, after the disaster of the war and the destruction of the city of Jerusalem, Josephus charged that his pious countrymen had misread or overlooked a key portion of Daniel’s prophecy, namely its surprising conclusion:



After the sixty-two weeks (i.e., 483 years) and anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing, and the troops of the price who is to come shall destroy the city and sanctuary. (Daniel 9:26).

The “world ruler” who comes is none other than the emperor Vespacian, who does indeed “destroy the cvity and the sanctuary”, not the awaited Jewish Messiah. So who then would be the “anointed one” or “messiah” who is “cut off”? Josephus says nothing about that but the followers of Jesus had read Daniel’s prophecy in a similar way, even before the disaster of the Roman war. Their interpretation was likely spurred by the tragic and unexpected murder of their leader James the Just in 62 A.D.

James, descended from the royal line of David, and thus aptly called a “messiah” or “anointed one”, had indeed been killed precisely seven years before the Romans laid siege to the city of Jerusalem in the summer of 69 A.D.. That was seven years short of the completion of the 490 year period, precisely as Daniel had predicted. The “end of the age” could not be long following.[16]

62 and 63 A.D.

Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy from Macedonia between 62 and 63 A.D. In this letter, he he admonished Timothy to refute the heresy being taught in the Ephesian church and to oversee the church’s growth.[17]

62 and 63 A.D.

Around the time Timothy was battling heresy in the Ephesian church, Titus was having considerable difficulty with a similar heretical movement in Crete. Paul wrote his letter to Titus between 62 and 63 A.D. to encourage Titus to deal with the heresy in the Cretan church. Titus 1:1-3:15.[18]

64 A.D.

In 64 A.D., Peter wrote his first letter to remind the churches in northeast Asia Minor of the blessings of their salvation and to encourage them to persevere through their persecution. 1 Peter 1:1-2:12.[19]

64 A.D.

When fire broke out in Rome in 64 A.D., destroying three quar4ters of the city, Nero blamed the Christians and had many of them in Rome arrested and killed. Tacitus, the Roman historian, offers us the gruesomne details. Those captured were torn to death by dogs, crucified, and set on fire on the grounds of the imperial palace whle Nero invited the populace for the display and rode around in his chariot.[20]

64 and 65 A.D.

Between 64 and 65 A.D. some churches were being overrun by a false teaching that denied the return of Christ. Jude wrote to counter these teachinbs and to encourage the believers to persevere in their faith. Jude 1:1-16. [21]

66 A.D.

A full scale Jewish Revolt had broken out in Palestine in 66 A.D. under the rule of the Roman governor Gessius Florus. Jerusalem fell into the control of several rebel factions. Nero had appointed a Spanish general Vespasian, to crush the revolt and several legions poured into the country. [22]

66 A.D.

Eusebius and Epiphanius preserved a tradition that the Jerusalem followers of Jesus, now led by Simon son of Clophas, fled the city of Jerusalem just before siege in response to an “oracle given by revelation before the war”. They reported that the followers settled in the area of the Decapolis city of Pella, on the other side of the Jordan in the mountains of Gilead. Although some scholars have questioned the historical reliability of this tradition there is strong evidence in its favor. As we have seen, the book of Revelation, dating to the time of Nero and the Jewish Revolt, portrays the church as a “woman” who flees into the wilderness “to her place” where she is nourished for three and a half years (Revelation 12:14). In the book of Revelation Nero is the “Best” with the mysterious number 666 and it was indeed Nero who both persecuted the Christians after the fire in Rome and sent Vespasian to wquell the Jewish Revolt in 66 A.D..[23]

Pella, the region to which they are saed to have fled, is just a few milesw north of the biblical “Wadi Cherith,” the traditional place where Elijah hid from danger and very likely the area where Jesus had spent the last winter of his life hiding from Herod Antipas, the “Jesus hideout” in Jordan. If Simon, leader of the group at this time, was in fact the brother of Jesus as James Tabor has argued, the flight in 66 A.D. would be a return visit for him after forty years.[24]

Judas the Galilean last surviving son, Menahem, captured from the Romans the stronghgold of Masada and attemptedin 66 A.D., at the beginning of the first Jewish War, to assert his supreme authority among the rebels by entering the Temple in royal apparel. However, he and most of his followerxsx died in the feud which raged at that time between the various revolutionary factions in Jerusalem. One of those who escapted the massacre was another descendant

66 and 67 A.D.

During Paul’s second imprisonment (66-67 A.D.), he wrote his second letter to Timothy. Paul encouraged Timothy to be steadfast in the ministry, while reflecting on his own soon to be completed ministry. 2 Timothy 1:1-18.[25]

67 C.E.

The ruins of two well preserved first century villages in the Galilee, Gamla and Yodefat, havwe also provided important information. All the inhabitants were dispersed bgy the Romans in 67 C.E. during a Jewish revolt. Because of this, the villages can be quite accurately dated, and thus have offered up furether clues concerning how simple Jewish peasants lived in the years just before the destructyion of the Second Temple. In Cana, another town to the north of Sepphoris that survived into the second century E.E., excavators have recently found a late first century synagogue.[26]

67 and 70 A.D.

Between 67 and 70 A.D., a group of Jewish Christians were tempted to return to Judaism. The author of Hebrews (perhaps Barnabas, Apollos or Paul) wrote to convince thses Jewish Christians of the superiority of Christ and to warn them of the serious dangers of apostasy. Hebrews 1:1-14[27]

According to later Christian tradition, Paul was beheaded in Rome during the reign of Nero, which would be sometime before 68 A.D.[28]

68 A.D.

Josephus was put in charge of the Jewish forces in Glilee but by 68 A.D. Vespasian had crushed all opposition and moved south into Judea to lay siege to Jerusalem. Josephus surrendered and ended up on intimate terms with Vespasian, even advising him in the war effort, having become convinced that Jewish opposition was futile and disastrous. When Nero committed suicide in 68 A.D. three successive Roman generals made a bid to become emperor. General Galva marched in from Spain, and the Senate accepted him as emperor, but Otho, an influential senator, had him assassinated by the palace guard and declared himself emperor. General Vitellius, recognizing the opportunity, immediately marched down from Germany to Rome with his legions, forcing Otho to commit suicide, and becoming emperor himself. In the Vespacian decided to act. He left the war in Judea and the siege of Jerusalem in the hads of his son Titus and traveled to Rome to challenge Vitellius. Vitellius tried to flee but was killed by troops loyal to Vespasian and the the Senate declated Vespasian emperor. [29]

69 A.D.

When James was killed in 62 A.D., Based On Daniel’s prediuctions, the followers of Jesus had calculated a final seven year period. They evidently left the city halfway into that period, or in the year 66 A.D. calculating that the “end” would come three and a half years later in 69 A.D. [30]

69 A.D.

In the summer of 69 A.D. the new emperor Vespasian returned to Jerusalem, rejoining his son Titus, to personally conduct the final stages of the siege.[31]

Investigators have emphasized the varieties of Judeaism in Palestine during the two centuries leading up to the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. 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 has focused on the different emphases associated with the various religious parties of the day, including the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Essenes. [32]

February 11: 1147 (24 Adar): The Jews of Wurzburg were attacked without warning by a band of Crusaders. “More than twenty among them met a martyrs death including Rabbi Isaac ben Eliakim…The humane Bishop of Wurzburg assigned a burial place in his own private garden for the bodies of the martyrs and sent the survivors to a castle near Wurzburg.”[33]



1147

The Hospitalers would engage in major military operations in Eleanor’s Second Crusade of 1147.[34]



1147

United under the cross and ruled by strict religious principles, the Crusaders were able to set aside their differences. “Among those people who spoke so many different languages ther were the strongest pledges of concord and friendship,” reads a Crusader’s code written in 1147. “In addition to this they enforced the severest laws, for example that a death was to be demanded for a death, a tooth for a tooth. They forbade every kind of display of rich clothes; and women were not allowed to go our in public.” [35]



February 11, 1201: In Worms, the Jews took up arms to fight alongside the city's non-Jewish residents against an attack by Otto. At that time, Jews were still permitted to bear arms in various cities in Germany, although this privilege was soon to be abolished.[36]

February 11, 1349: Jews of Uberlingen, Switzerland were massacred.[37]

February 11, 1482: By a Papal order, seven new Inquisitors were nominated, among them Tomas de Torquemada who led the Spanish Inquisition that brought an end to the fabled Spanish Jewish community.[38]

The Spanish Inquisition began to operate in 1483 and during the succeeding decade and using torture to conduct its investigations, convicted hundreds of New Christians of heresy and delivered them to the civil atrocities for execution by burning. Many more were obliged to recant their heresies in humiliating public spectacles and to forfeit their property.[39]

February 11, 1490: In Spain it was declared that no Jew or convert would ever be allowed to rule over any Muslims. This was part of Spanish/Muslim negotiations leading up to the eventual surrender of Granada, the last Muslim territory in Iberia.[40]



1490 Jews expelled from Provence [to Italy].[41]

It is thought that a Norwegian princess started the first toll here - by stretching a chain across the strait and stopping boats getting through without paying. Known as Saucy Mary, she is reflected with her name in the village today! Tradition says that she built Caisteal Maol when she was married to one of the MacKinnon chiefs. It is known to have been built around 1490-1500 and was at one time called Dunakin (Hakon's fort). Bits of the castle collapsed in 1949 and 1989 but the remaining walls have now been secured to prevent further collapse.[43]

February 11, 1673: In England, according to the Conventicle Act of 1664, any prayer meeting of more than five persons not held according to the Book of Common Prayer would be considered seditious. The act had been originally designed as a device against the Puritans but soon Jews were prosecuted as well. The Jews requested that the King to either allow freedom of worship or that they be allowed to leave the country with their possessions. Charles II ordered the Attorney General to desist from prosecuting the “offenders”.[45]

February 11, 1731/2

The Washington family Bible records:

“George Washington Son to Augustine & Mary his Wife was born February 11, 1731/2 about 10 in the Morning.” The old style calendar entry of February 11, 1731/32 became obsolete in 1752 when the British corrected their calendar by adding eleven days making Washington’s birthdate under the new style February 22, 1732 His birthday was celebrated on both days during his lifetime.[47]

February 11, 1780

The colonel has learned that often in the companies, and especially in the huts, where the soldier wives sell all types of liquors, non-commissioned officers and privates have been playing all sorts of card and dice games and even tempting passing soldiers from other regiments with drinks, even taking their money. Therefore the colonel with the strictest and most urgent orders, orders that it is forbidden for anyone to play, so the company officers and patrols are to inspect the huts frequently in order to prevent the resulting excesses. The colonel especially advises the company commanders that the inspection be exactly carried out and if a noncommissioned officer should be apprehended, he is to be placed in the stocks according to the regulations and a private is to be arrested at once and reported to the staff….[51]

February 11, 1811: President Madison orders trade with England ceased.[56]

February 11, 1861: President-elect Abraham Lincoln leaves home in Springfield, Illinois, as he embarks on his journey to Washington.

On a cold, rainy morning, Lincoln boarded a two-car private train loaded with his family's belongings, which he himself had packed and bound. Mary Lincoln was in St. Louis on a shopping trip, and she joined him later in Indiana. It was a somber occasion. Lincoln was leaving his home and heading into the maw of national crisis. Since he had been elected, seven states of the lower South had seceded from the Union. Lincoln knew that his actions upon entering office would likely lead to civil war. He spoke to the crowd before departing: "Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young man to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being... I cannot succeed. With that assistance, I cannot fail... To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell."

A bystander reported that the president-elect's "breast heaved with emotion and he could scarcely command his feelings." Indeed, Lincoln's words were prophetic—a funeral train carried him back to Springfield just over four years later.[57]

February 11, 2010: Yesterday morning at 4 AM I woke up to what I thought was a strong gust of wind rattling the windows. The house shook and there was a loud sound. I found out later it was an 3.8 earthquake with the epicenter in Pingree Grove, Illinois, which is 6 miles from my house. There was no damage but it was felt in 5 states. The earthquake in Haiti was 38,000 times worse. Here is a great piece from last night's NBC Nightly News.

[50] Rutherford is probably Robert Rutherford’s brother Thomas, of Berkeley (later Jefferson) County (see GREENE [3], 375--82). Rezin Beall (1723--1809), whose name is variously spelled, was a descendant of Thomas Beall the immigrant and lived on Little Paint Branch, one mile north of Beltsville in northern Prince George’s County, Md. (BEALL, 112--13). From 16 Aug. to 1 Dec. 1776 Beall served as a brigadier general with Maryland troops in the campaign in the Jerseys

(1-LEhMAN [1], 79; BERG, 42, 67, 108).

Beau had brought a note from Jonathan Boucher recommending him for the job Valentine Crawford had just accepted from GW (see 27 Jan. 1774). On 15 Feb., GW explained to Boucher: ‘Before Mr. Beall deliverd me your Letter of the 10th. . . (under a supposition of his willingness to undertake my business on the Ohio) I had conditionally agreed with Mr. Vale. Crawford for this purpose; who you must know, had Imbark’d in a Courting Scheme (in this neighbourhood) and, as I conceiv’d the task of pleasing a Master & Mistress, equal to that of two Masters, I made a point of his settling this business somehow or other with the Lady before he undertook mine; and this he did unfavourably to his wishes, the very day Mr. Beall came here & was at liberty for me” (NN; see main entry for 27 Jan. 1774).

[59]1st Lt. Arthur MacArthur Jr., was born in 1845 and as an 18 year old adjutant of the 24th Wisconsin and future father of Gen. Douglas MacArthur grabbed his regiment’s national flag on the ridge’s slope when the color bearer fell exhausted. Captain Howard Green of Company B and 1st Lt. Robert J. Chivas of Company I lay dead, with both officers of Company A wounded. Shouting “On, Wisconsin!” to his momentarily stunned comrades, the beardless youth carried the flag to the crest. “I had the honor of planting the colors of the 24th Wisconsin immediately in front of Bragg’s old headquarters,” he wrote the next day. I showed the old flag to General Sheridan immediately upon his arrival on top of the ridge While I was carrying the flag a whole dose of canister went through it, tearing it in a frightful manner. I only received one scratch and that through the rim of my hat.”
