  • Who was Bar Kokhba? The leader of the most turbulent Jewish revolt against the Roman Empire remained in obscurity for thousands of years, but recent archaeological discoveries-ancient coins, attack tunnels used by Jewish fighters, and even battle orders in Bar Kokhba's own handwriting-reveal the true identity of the Jewish folk hero and tell the story of the revolt as never before. The spark that ignited the uproar was the decision by the Roman Emperor Hadrian to obliterate what remained of Jerusalem after its destruction in 70 CE and build a pagan Roman city-Aelia Capitolina-on its ruins. The Jews' furious response to the assault on their holy city erupted into a massive rebellion that wreaked havoc on the Roman army and shook the empire to its core. Especially effective were the guerilla tactics in which the Jewish warriors staged surprise attacks on the Roman soldiers and then retreated out of harm's way to a massive network of underground tunnels prepared especially for this purpose. After more than three years of fierce fighting, Hadrian finally managed to put down the uprising. The punishments that he imposed in revenge were unprecedented in their cruelty. Over half a million Jews were massacred, the practice of the Jewish religion was banned, and Jerusalem was emptied of its Jewish inhabitants and almost forgotten. Almost ...

    Thank you so much for this video! Thank you for the English subtitles. This is such a sad story in the history of Judaism, but also reflects the strength of the faith of the Jews. Wonderful production values and visuals….as always. Your Jewish history videos are amazing.

    Is. 49:18 Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather, they come to you. As I live, says the LORD, you shall put them all on as an ornament, you shall bind them on as a bride does.
    Is. 49:19 ¶ “Surely your waste and your desolate places and your devastated land - surely now you will be too narrow for your inhabitants, and those who swallowed you up will be far away.
    Is. 49:20 The children born in the time of your bereavement will yet say in your ears: ‘The place is too narrow for me; make room for me to dwell in.’

    3:52 and to the Christians living in Israel at the time, this was a massive red flag. Why would we follow a false messianic claimant when the True Messiah already revealed himself?

      Yes, that was the reason they didn't join the rebellion. Until the revolt, Christianity was considered a Jewish sect and even observed the same customs but when bar kokba and his fanatics decided that he was the Messiah they asked the christians to join them in fighting the Romans which the Christians refused not just because bar kokba touted himself as a Messiah but because of his violent ways to resolve the conflict. The entire story regarding aelia capitolonia is that Hadrian was building all across the empire and he met the Jews and the Jews requested him to rebuild Jerusalem which he agreed however someone told the Jews that Hadrian was building a pagan temple to Jupiter and that he was persuaded by a Jew hater to do so which is only said so Jewish sources. The truth is Hadrian was building Jerusalem and there are no sources that say that Hadrian wanted to build a pagan temple only the talmudic sources. Either way when the Christians refused to partake in the violence they were genocided by the Jews which is what caused the later divide. Btw only Jewish sources say that Hadrian was building a pagan temple because a Jew hater told him so but in reality all other sources say otherwise and he build the temple only after the Jews revolted.

      @@sangumlinggi8330 well, the time to decide which god will be worshipped in the temple is only once the temple is builded, isn't it ? Hadrian, from what we know about him, doesn't really strikes as a very religious man. It's possible he may have hesitations about which god to dedicate the temple, as he may have not really care himself, it was probably a political game to him, and he waited to know which option would be the best for him/

    Obviously I need to tell you guys about the prophecy that's still running from the 1st century AD. What Bar Kokhba didn't know at the time.
    The day of Jezreel prophecy in Hosea predicted that Israel and Judah was to face a long term top level Leviticus 26 curse. Followed by the "day of Jezreel". But the thing is Hosea 6 verses 1,2 and 3 give us the time line of the prophecy. 3 days in the presence of the Lord. BUT. Big but here. Per Psalms 90 and 2nd Peter 3-8 from the Christian Bible those days are 1000 year periods of time. Per the prophecy Israel was to face a TWO THOUSAND year curse. Followed by the thousand year day of Jezreel. So, it appears Israel has been serving it's curse all the way back from the first century AD. And it appears the curse runs out in the 2030s AD and the day of Jezreel starts then.
    So the what this means is the day of Jezreel prophecy and the 70 weeks of Daniel are co-prophecies. The 70 weeks never ran out. One week remains because the day of Jezreel prophecy took over. The 70th week starts when the restoration of the Temple starts. 😁 👋
