Zealots (Judea)
The Zealots were originally a political movement in 1st century Second Temple Judaism which sought to incite the people of Judaea Province to rebel against the Roman Empire and expel it from the Holy Land by force of arms, most notably during the First Jewish–Roman War (66-70). Zealotry was the term used by Josephus for a "fourth sect" during this period.
Etymology
The term "zealot", in Hebrew kanai (קנאי, frequently used in plural form, קנאים (kana'im)), means one who is zealous on behalf of God. The term derives from Greek ζηλωτής (zelotes), "emulator, zealous admirer or follower".
History
Josephus' Jewish Antiquities states that there were three main Jewish sects at this time, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Essenes. The Zealots were a "fourth sect", founded by Judas of Galilee (also called Judas of Gamala) in the year 6 against Quirinius' tax reform, shortly after the Roman Empire declared what had most recently been the tetrarchy of Herod Archelaus to be a Roman province, and that they "agree in all other things with the Pharisaic notions; but they have an inviolable attachment to liberty, and say that God is to be their only Ruler and Lord." (18.1.6)

by: CelladorWe're all off to meet our maker
And I know we won't go far
If there's a chance at life, it's not in sight
When you watch the world go dark
When you take a chance and you throw it up
If you watch to see where it falls
Even in the end it'll always end up small
So dont waste your time, just free your mind
Beyond this you can't look behind
Move on forth to a place above it all
Head up high into the sky
Just take a chance and try to fly
Leave it all and we will never fall
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
Never hold back against a dream you wanted long
Keep on movin' on...
Look real hard into yourself and see if you can find
That burning light thats shining bright inside us all tonight
A wasted day to a wasted month to a wasted life you'll find
That without a dream you might as well be blind
Don't be left unsatisfied
Someday each of us will die
No turning back to see what's dead and gone
A challenge beard is a challenge shared
Just face your fear now, don't be scared
Hold your ground, no fate can hold us down
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
So ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
Never hold back against a dream you wanted long
Keep on movin' on...
Each and all of us have time in their life
A self-realization that with all regret turns to light
So dont waste your time, just free your mind
Beyond this you can't look behind
Move on forth to a place above it all
No blessed truth can give you say
You alone decide the way
Hear the path from inside of your heart
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
