Antiochus Epiphanes IV: Jew Proselyte

Antiochus Epiphanes IV Becoming A Jew Proselyte

The Maccabees were a great family. They lived after the carrying away of Israel to Babylon and return. They existed before the New Covenant and the coming of Jesus Christ. They were zealous and inspiring men who led others of their people to fight and overcome men against God, very different from the impostors and alternative-Jews (Joos) today, who actually mock covenants and fight against the people of God (Christians).

The father of Antiochus Eupator was Antiochus Epiphanes IV, a powerful Greek king and governor. He was a very wicked man and great enemy of the Jews (some Hebrews, others not). He spoiled the temple of God (2 Maccabees 9:16), but being punished by God and suffering pain and torments wanted to repent and restore some of his damages of the temple (v. 16) and the people (v. 15), and even become a Jew himself (v. 17).

¹⁵And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not worthy so much as to be buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of Athens: ¹⁶And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy vessels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to the sacrifices: ¹⁷Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God.¹

Ancient Judaism: Hebrew And Proselyte

At that time men could become part of the religion of the Hebrews and be called Jews in a rhetorical (Esther 8:17) religious sense; however, they were required to respect the genealogical law (Ezra 2:61-63) as to only specified Hebrew people being able to become or serve as a priest.

Cults Impose As Something They Are Not

Cults may have a legal right to promote their heresy, but they do not have a biblical right. The Joos of today don't follow the Old Testament and its laws, they follow their made-up religion, honoring some Old Testament commandments and evading commandments they genealogically cannot keep. Their matrilineal law is in direct opposition to God and Moses (Nu. 36:5-13).

Also remember, those without Hebrew patrilineal succession and pedigree could not be a priest/cohen. (Ezra 2:61-63). If you will notice practically, a Jooish man if he is recognized by his convert mother being “Jewish” and mentioned for instance as a “son of Sarah”, “daughter of Ruth”, “daughter of Hannah”, “daughter of Elizabeth”... it clearly shows he doesn't have the required pedigree to be a patrilineal Hebrew demonstrated as the following:

Genealogy and pedigree: Ezra was a priest [cohen]. (Ezra 7.12) His genealogy, which was a requirement (Ezra 2.62), was as follows according to Ezra 7: “¹ Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah, ² The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub, ³ The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, ⁴ The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki, ⁵ The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:”. Take note that the authority for genealogy is patrilineal--“son of” males.

Herzl Matrilinealists are not Hebrews. As they cannot follow the intra-tribal law (Nu. 36:5-13) nor the covenant of Ezra (Ezra 10), they lack the required patrilineal pedigree to be a Hebrew.

Modern Joodaism: No Hebrews, But Proselytes With Semitic Flavor

The modern Jooish do not have any Hebrew members or priests, so they can't claim to equally revere ancient Judaism as the religious people of the time of the Maccabees. Actually, genealogically, the Jooish of today have no more authenticity as a Jew than Antiochus Epiphanes IV: none of them are as God's former chosen people, biologically and genealogically Hebrew.

The Jooish do not honor genealogical law (Numbers 36:5-13) nor do they believe in a messiah that can fill the genealogical law as Jesus Christ did. So, all of their deep, Aramaic and Hebrew language studies really do not bring glory to God because they deny the one he sent. When a person is taught about God in a way that avoids His Christ, it can only end up vain. The platform for a future anti-Christ (someone evil and disrespectful of God's beautiful design of worship and laws like Antiochus Epiphanes IV) has been established.
