  • Maccabees

    The Maccabees, also spelled Machabees (Hebrew: מכבים or מקבים, Maqabim; Latin: Machabi or Machado; Greek: Μακκαβαῖοι, Makkabaioi), were the leaders of a Jewish rebel army that took control of Judea, which at the time had been a province of the Seleucid Empire. They founded the Hasmonean dynasty, which ruled from 164 BCE to 63 BCE. They reasserted the Jewish religion, partly by forced conversion, expanded the boundaries of Judea by conquest and reduced the influence of Hellenism and Hellenistic Judaism.

    Background

    In the 2nd century BCE, Judea lay between the Ptolemaic Kingdom (based in Egypt) and the Seleucid empire (based in Syria), monarchies which had formed following the death of Alexander the Great (356–323 BCE). Judea had come under Ptolemaic rule, but fell to the Seleucids around 200 BCE. Judea at that time had been affected by the Hellenization begun by Alexander. Some Jews, mainly those of the urban upper class, notably the Tobiad family, wished to dispense with Jewish law and to adopt a Greek lifestyle. According to the historian Victor Tcherikover, the main motive for the Tobiads' Hellenism was economic and political. The Hellenizing Jews built a gymnasium in Jerusalem, competed in international Greek games, "removed their marks of circumcision and repudiated the holy covenant".

    Maccabees (disambiguation)

    Maccabees were Jewish rebels against Hellenization in the 2nd Century BC.

    Maccabees may also refer to:

  • Books of the Maccabees, deuterocanonical books
  • Knights of the Maccabees, fraternal organization
  • Maccabees Building in Detroit, Michigan
  • The Maccabees (band), English indie rock band

  • Maccabi (disambiguation)
  • The Maccabeats, band from Yeshiva University
  • Eleazar (2 Maccabees)

    Eleazar is a Jewish martyr portrayed in 2 Maccabees 6. Verse 18 describes him as "one of the leading teachers of the law," and "of distinguished bearing." We learn from verse 24 that he was ninety at the time of his death. Under a persecution instigated by Antiochus IV Epiphanes, Eleazar was forced to open his mouth and eat pork, but he spat it out and submitted to flogging. He was then privately permitted to eat meat that he could pretend was pork, but he refused and was flogged to death. The narrator relates that in his death he left "a heroic example and a glorious memory," (verse 31).

    Along with the woman with seven sons depicted in the following chapter, Eleazar, although not actually a Maccabee, is celebrated as one of the "Holy Maccabean Martyrs" by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Their feast day is August 1.

    Modern Man

    by: Gatsby's American Dream

    While I lie awake,
    They're dreaming of me
    And how much I'll take
    Before I'm empty
    Think a little do a lot,
    And take whatever hits the spot,
    And whatever free time ya got
    They'll write down everything you bought
    "Look here!" they say, "This shit is new,
    And our pockets got their eyes on you,
    And with everything that you consume,
    You can't see we're consuming you"
    Put the penny in the pot,
    Now you're fucked, your hand is caught
    While I lie asleep they are taken from me
    Oh modern man, what have you done?
    Oh modern man, what have you become?
    Look at the landscape,
    Raspberry skies, the ivory lake
    I hope I never awake
    Look at the landscape (oh modern man)
    Raspberry skies, the ivory lake (what have you done?)
    I hope I never awake
    I know that I can change 'em if I try hard enough,
    'Cause we still believe their pockets always belong to
    Oh modern man, what have you done?
    You took my home and dirtied it up
    Oh modern man, what have you done?
