76: Encyclopedia II - Historical Jesus - Final days

According to the Bible, Jesus came with his followers to Jerusalem to fulfill his Messianic mission. He was involved in a public disturbance at the Temple in Jerusalem when he overturned the tables of the moneychangers there. At some later point, he was betrayed to the Jewish religious authorities of the city — either the full council (Sanhedrin) or perhaps just the High Priest — by one of his apostles, Judas Iscariot. The High Priest of the city was appointed by the government in Rome and the current holder of the post was Joseph Caipha ...

76: Encyclopedia II - History of Myanmar - Independent Burma

The first years of Burmese independence were marked by successive insurgencies by the Red Flag Communists, White Flag Communists, the PYA - White Band (Socialists), Arakanese Muslims, army rebels and the Karens. Remote areas of Northern Burma were for many years controlled by an army of Nationalist Chinese forces after the Communist takeover of that country in 1949. Burma accepted foreign assistance in rebuilding the country in these early years, but continued American support for the Chinese Nationalist military presence in Burma finally re ...

76: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in China - Overview

China's Jewish communities have been ethnically diverse ranging from the Jews of Kaifeng and other places during the history of Imperial China, who, it is reported came to be more or less totally assimilated into Chinese culture, to 19th and 20th century Baghdadis, to Indians, to Ashkenazi Jews from Europe. The presence of a community of Jewish immigrants in China is consistent with the history of the Jewish people during the first and second millennia CE, which saw them disperse and settle throughout the Eurasian landmass, with an es ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Historical Jesus - Where was Jesus Born?

In John 7:41-42, the Jews make the following objection to considering Jesus of Nazareth to be the Messiah: "The Messiah isn't going to come from Galilee, is he? Doesn't the Scripture say that the Messiah will be descended from David and will come from Bethlehem, the town David came from?" Some would say that this is "Johannine irony," and that the author and his audience knew that Jesus really came from Bethlehem. However, the evangelist insists from the very first chapter that Jesus does come from Nazareth (1:45), ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Historical Jesus - The Synagogue of Nazareth

The Gospels represent Jesus as preaching in the Synagogue of Nazareth. However, archaeological excavations have found no Synagogue building in first-century Nazareth. This is no surprise, since Nazareth at this time was a poor village with only a few hundred inhabitants. The excavations have found no public buildings, no gold, no silver, no imported goods. On the other hand, the term "Synagogue" could refer to an outdoors public meetin ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Historical Jesus - What language did Jesus speak?

Since Jesus became an itinerant preacher throughout his home area and surroundings, a relevant question here is: What was the language spoken by ordinary Jews during their daily lives in first century Judea? Jesus must have been fluent in this language, and possibly in others as well. From the writings and inscriptions of the time, there are four languages attested: Latin, Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. We may quickly eliminate the first from consideration. Latin was used almost exclusively by Roman officials, who had only recently intro ...

76: Encyclopedia II - History of the Jews in China - Modern times

Contemporaneous sources estimated the Jewish population in China in 1940 – including Manchukuo – at 36,000 (source: Catholic Encyclopedia). Jewish life in Shanghai had really taken off with the arrival of the British. Sephardic Jews from the Middle East came as traders via India and Hong Kong and established some of the leading trading companies. Later came Jewish refugees from Russia (and later the Soviet Union). After the Russian Revolution of 1917, several thousand Russian Jews moved to Harbin in northern China (former Manchuria), alongside Christian Russians. ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Emperor Zhang of Han - Early reign

Emperor Zhang continued his father's hardworking tendencies as emperor, but he was more lenient than his strict father. He sought out honest officials and promoted them, and he himself lived thriftly. He was generally humble and honored the senior officials who had served his grandfather and father faithfully in accordance. In 76, at the suggestion of his advisor Yang Zhong (楊終) and prime minister Diwu Lun (第五倫), Emperor Zhang ordered that his father's Xiyu (modern Xinjiang and former Soviet central Asia) campaigns be abando ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Nebraska - Law and Government

Nebraska is the only state in the United States with a unicameral legislature; that is, a legislature with only one house. Although this house is officially known simply as the "Legislature", and more commonly called the "Unicameral", its members still call themselves "senators". Nebraska's Legislature is also the only one in the United States that is nonpartisan. The senators are elected with no party affiliation next to their names on the ballot, and the speaker and committee chairs are chosen at large, so that members of any party can be ...

76: Encyclopedia II - 10 Downing Street - Security

A police officer traditionally stands outside the black front door of Number 10 — a door which can only be opened from the inside. Gates were installed at either end of Downing Street during the Premiership of Margaret Thatcher to protect against possible terrorist attack. However on February 7, 1991, the Provisional IRA launched a mortar through the roof of a white van parked in Whitehall. The mortar shell exploded in the back garden of 10 Downing Street, blowing in all the windows of the cabinet room, whilst then Prime Minster Jo ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - Civil War

Although in the beginning, Pompey claimed he could defeat Caesar and raise armies merely by stamping his foot on the soil of Italy, but by the spring of 49 BC, with Caesar crossing the Rubicon and his invading legions sweeping down the peninsula, Pompey ordered the abandonment of Rome. His legions fled south towards Brundisium, where Pompey intended to find renewed strength by waging war against Caesar in the East. In the process, almost unbelievably, probably thinking than Caesar will not dare, neither Pompey nor the Senate thought of taking the vast treasury with them, which was left conveniently in the Temple of Saturn when ...

Number 10 has been the residence of the First Lord ever since it was given to Sir Robert Walpole by King George II on behalf of the nation and the Crown. Walpole accepted the gift on the condition that the house was a gift to the incumbent First Lord of the Treasury rather than to him personally, so that ownership passes to each incoming First Lord, which office, with rare exceptions, is also held by the Prime Ministe ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - Historic View

To the historians of his own and later Roman periods, the life of Pompey was simply too good to be true. No more satisfying historical model existed than the great man who, achieving extraordinary triumphs through his own efforts, yet fell from power and influence and, in the end, was murdered through treachery. He was the hero of the Republic, who seemed once to hold the Roman world in his palm only to be brought low by his own weak judgment and Caesar's indomitability. Pompey was idealized as a tragic hero almost immediately after P ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - Confrontation to War

The triumvirate was about to end. The bonds of the triumvirate were snapped by death. First, Pompey's wife (and at that time Caesar's only child), Julia, died in 54 BC in childbirth. Later that year, Crassus and his army were annihilated by the Parthian armies at the Battle of Carrhae. Caesar's name, not Pompey's, was now firmly before the public as Rome's great new general. The public turmoil in Rome resulted in whispers as early as 54 that Pompey should be made dictator to force a return to law and order. After Julia's death, Caesar sought ...

Although his young age kept him a privatus (a man holding no political office of – or associated with – the cursus honorum), Pompey was a very rich man and a talented general in control of three veteran legions. Moreover, he was ambitious for glory and power. Happy to acknowledge his son-in-law's wishes, and to clear his own situation as dictator, Sulla sent Pompey to Sicily to recover the island and i ...

Historical Jesus - Joseph Yosef — his father?. The main Christian sources about Joseph come from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Joseph was betrothed to Mary at the time that she conceived Yehoshua; and therefore they were already legally husband and wife then, although they were not yet permitted to live together. In the Christian Gospels of Matthew and Luke, Joseph is referred to as "Jesus's" foster father. Joseph does not feature in any of the four canonical gospels, except in these childhood ...

76: Encyclopedia II - Pompey - Hispania and Spartacus

Pompey's reputation for military genius, and occasional bad judgment, continued when he demanded proconsular imperium (although he had not yet served as Consul) to go to Hispania to fight against Sertorius, a Marian general who maintained a lone presence there. He refused to disband his legions until his request was granted, and he joined Metellus Pius against Sertorius. The campaign against the brilliant guerrilla general would last from 76 BC to 71 BC. It is significant that the war was finally won only when rivals murdered Sertorius, not because either Pompey or Metellus Pius had been ab ...
