Hondo yeRafiya neHondo yePanium zviitiko zviviri zvakasiyana zvenhoroondo zvakaitika munguva dzakasiyana uye mumamiriro akasiyana, asi zvose zviri zviviri zvine kukosha munhoroondo yeJudhea yekare nenzvimbo dzakaikomberedza. Hondo yeRafiya yakaitika muna 217 BC. Hondo yePanium yakaitika muna 200 BC pakati peumambo hweSeleucid (mambo wokumusoro) neumambo hwePtolemaic (mambo wokumaodzanyemba). Hondo mbiri idzi dzinotaurwa mundima yegumi neimwe kusvika yegumi neshanu dzaDhanieri chitsauko 11. Hondo mbiri idzi dzakatangira Kupanduka kwavaMaccabee muna 167 BC.

Hondo ya ku Panium yakatumidzwa zita rayo kubva panzvimbo yepedyo yenzvimbo, Gomo rePanium, pakaitikira kurwa uku. Zita rokuti Panium rinobva kuna mwari wechiGiriki anonzi Pan, uyo wakanga wakatsaurirwa kwaari temberi iripo ipapo. Nzvimbo iyi yaizivikanwa sePanium nokuda kwokubatanidzwa kwayo nokunamatwa kwaPan. Dungamativi retemberi iri raiwanzonzi Nzvimbo Tsvene yaPan, zvichisimbisa basa raro senzvimbo yokuzvipira kwechitendero nokunamata kwakatsaurirwa kuna mwari Pan. Shoko rokuti “Nymphaeum” rinoreva chivakwa chechirangaridzo kana nzvimbo tsvene yakatsaurirwa kuma-nymph emvura muchitendero chekare chechiGiriki nechiRoma. Dungamativi retemberi paPanium raisanganisira bako nechitubu chomusikirwo, izvo zvaidavirwa kuti zvaigarwa nema-nymph, uye naizvozvo dzimwe nguva rainzi Nymphaeum rePanium.

Mundima yechimakumi maviri kutonga kwaAgasto Kesari kunoratidzwa, uye munhoroondo iyoyo, Jesu akaberekwa. Ipapo mundima dzechimakumi maviri neimwe nechimakumi maviri nembiri kutonga kwaTiberio Kesari akaipa kunozivikanwa, nokudaro zvichiratidza kurovererwa kwaKristu pamuchinjikwa. Mundima yechimakumi maviri nenhatu, sungano yakaitwa nemaJudha eMakkabheo neRoma yechihedheni inoratidzwa, uye nokudaro kufamba kwenhoroondo kwakatanga mundima yegumi neimwe kunomiswa, uye rondedzero yenhoroondo inodzokera shure kunguva ya161 BC kusvika 158 BC.

Ndime ya makumi maviri nenhatu inomirira dzinza raMaccabees, uye kunyange isingapi zvizere zvese zvemadudzirwo emuporofita pamusoro pedzinza ravo, zvinyorwa zvenhoroondo zvinozvipa. Muna 217 BC, Hondo yeRaphia yakaitika, uye mushure mayo mambo achiri mwana akasiya Egipita iri panjodzi. Sezvo madzimambo eSeleucid neevaGiriki akaronga kubata mambo uyu aiva mwana mugore ra200 BC, Roma yakazvipinza munhoroondo ikava mudziviriri wamambo weEgipita aiva mwana. Mugore iroro rimwe chetero Hondo yePanium yakaitika. Zvino muna 167 BC hondo yerusarura yemaMaccabees yakatanga.

Marejeo ya moja kwa moja pekee kuhusu Wamakabayo, uasi wao na agano lao na Rumi, yanapatikana katika aya ya ishirini na tatu; lakini historia ya nasaba hiyo, iitwayo Nasaba ya Wahasmonea, ilianza huko Modein mwaka 167 KK, na ikaendelea hadi wakati wa msalaba. Wawakilishi wa mwisho wa Nasaba ya Wahasmonea walikuwa Mafarisayo wa kipindi cha Kristo. Kwa hiyo, kuna mstari wa kinabii wa historia ya Uyahudi ulioasi, kama unavyowakilishwa na Wamakabayo, ulioanza mwaka 167 KK katika uasi wa Modein, na unaoishia katika aya ya ishirini na moja na ishirini na mbili Yesu aliposomewa msalabani.

Nhoroondo yavo yakasvika panguva yokushanduka mundima yegumi nenhanhatu, apo Roma, kekutanga, kubudikidza naPompey, yakakunda Jerusarema. Chikonzero chake chikuru chokuuisa kuparadzwa pamusoro peJerusarema panguva iyoyo chaiva gakava pakati pezvikwata zviviri zveUmambo hwevaHasmonean. Kubva panguva iyoyo (63 BC), Judha yakanga iri pasi poutongi hweRoma. Umambo hwevaHasmonean hwevaMaccabee hunotanga nenzira yechiporofita pahondo yeModein muna 167 BC, vozoti hwoiswa pasi pokutongwa neRoma muna 63 BC. Nguva pfupi mushure mokutanga kwenhoroondo iyoyo vaMaccabee vakatanga uye vakapinda muchibvumirano neRoma kubva muna 161 BC kusvika muna 158 BC. Vakanga vari pasi peRoma kubva muna 63 BC kusvikira pamuchinjikwa uye kuparadzwa kwekupedzisira kweJerusarema mugore ra70.

Mutsetse wechiporofita weMaccabees ndiwo mutsetse wechiJudha chakatsauka pakutenda, uye naizvozvo unomiririrawo mutsetse wechiPurotesitendi chakatsauka pakutenda. Kubva paHondo yePanium kusvikira pamurayiro weSvondo wevhesi regumi nenhanhatu, zviitiko zvechiporofita zvegore ra200 BC, 167 BC, 164 BC, uye sungano kubva muna 161 BC kusvika muna 158 BC zvichadzokororwa munhoroondo yechiPurotesitendi chakatsauka pakutenda. Zviratidzo izvi zvemunzira zvichaitika munhoroondo yemutungamiri wechisere anobva kune vanomwe, kusati kwasvika murayiro weSvondo. 200 BC inomiririra mutsetse wokunze werunyanga rweRepublican maererano na167 BC, rinomiririra mutsetse womukati werunyanga rwechiPurotesitendi chakatsauka pakutenda.

Ezi mpawu zendlela zifihlwe ngokuyinhloko emlandweni womugqa woBukhosi bamaHasmonean, kodwa noma kunjalo ziyingxenye yomlando ofihlekile wevesi lamashumi amane likaDaniyeli ishumi nanye. Kungumugqa oyingxenye “yaleyo ngxenye yesiprofetho sikaDaniyeli ephathelene nezinsuku zokugcina.”

Ukuthi ubuJuda bugubha iHanukkah ngenjongo yokukhumbula ukuvukela kwamaMaccabee, akusho ukuthi amaMaccabee achazwa njengabalungileyo. Ngenxa yokuhlubuka, iShekinah ayizange iphinde ibuyele ethempelini elalakhiwa kabusha emva kokuthunjwa kweminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa. Umlayezo wokugcina wesiprofetho wafika ngoMalaki cishe emakhulu amabili eminyaka ngaphambi kwamaMaccabee. Umlando wamaMaccabee uveza ukuthi bavumela abaholi babo bezombusazwe ukuba basebenze futhi njengompristi omkhulu, okuyisono sona kanye uPtolemy waseGibhithe azama ukusenza, nenkosi u-Uziya nayo eyazama ukusenza. Isiko libonisa ukuthi uNkulunkulu wangenelela ukuvimba uPtolemy kuleso senzo sokuhlambalaza okungcwele, futhi iZwi likaNkulunkulu lisho ngokuqondile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wangenelela lapho inkosi u-Uziya izama ukwenza umsebenzi wompristi nowenkosi. Isithelo sokugcina sobukhosi babo kwakungabaFarisi. Akukho sizathu sokuphetha ngokuthi amaMaccabee ayeyisibonakaliso sokulunga, naphezu kokuhlonishwa komlando amaJuda obuJuda besimanje abangase babe nako ngawo.

Reformacioni ya Kiprotestanti ilianza katika wakati wa Luther, nayo ilikuwa maendeleo ya hatua kwa hatua. Haikuwa mapokeo mapya, kwa maana Yesu na wanafunzi Wake walikuwa Waprotestanti. Ilikuwa ni mwamko kutoka katika giza la historia ambamo Luther na warekebishaji wengine waliamshwa. Kilele cha reformacioni hiyo ya hatua kwa hatua kilikuwa ni vuguvugu la Millerite. Mungu hakuhitaji tu kuwaamsha warekebishaji wa mwanzo kwa habari ya dhambi za Babeli, bali alikusudia kuwaleta katika uelewa kamili wa sheria Yake, na wa kazi Yake katika patakatifu pa mbinguni. Tarehe 19 Aprili, 1844 Waprotestanti waliikataa nuru inayozidi kuongezeka ya reformacioni, nao wakawa Uprotestanti ulioasi.

VaMillerite vakatendeka panguva iyoyo vakapiwa “jasi,” uye vakatungamirirwa kupinda muNzvimbo Tsvene-tsvene kuti vapedzise basa rokukura kuva vaKristu vePurotesitendi vakura. Muna 1863 avo vakanga vapiwa jasi, nokuda kwokusateerera, vakaisa parutivi jasi rePurotesitendi, vakatora jasi reRaodhikia. Munguva yokupedzisira yokuiswa chisimbiso kwezana namakumi mana navana ezviuru, kwakatanga makore makumi maviri nemaviri mushure maSeptember 11, 2001, muna 2023, Shumba yorudzi rwaJudha iri kusunungura zvisimbiso zvezvokwadi zvinopedzisa nhoroondo yakavanzika yendima makumi mana yaDanieri chitsauko gumi nerimwe, inova nhoroondo kubva pakuwa kweSoviet Union muna 1989 kusvikira kumutemo weSvondo uri kusvika nokukurumidza. Mukuita izvi, Akasunungura zvisimbiso zvenhoroondo yechiJudha chakatsauka sechiratidzo chechiPurotesitendi chakatsauka.

Mitsara yose miviri yevanhu vaMwari vakatsauka pakutenda, kungava avo veJudha chaiyo kana Judha yemweya (nyika mbiri dzinobwinya), inoguma pakukundwa kweJerusarema, wokutanga muna 63 BC, uye wokupedzisira pamutemo weSvondo uri kuuya nokukurumidza. Mitsara yose iri miviri inomiririra hondo inokurudzirwa nezvitendero zvisina kutungamirirwa zvakanaka. Mitsara yose iri miviri inomiririrawo hondo inorwisana neuzivi hwechitendero hweGiriki, uye yose iri miviri inoguma nevakatsauka vachinge vari pasi peRoma. Ndinotsanangura hondo nhatu dzendima yemakumi mana sedzinomiririra kuputsika kweSoviet Union muna 1989, Hondo yeUkraine, nePanium pamutemo weSvondo, nechinangwa chokuratidza mutsauko uripo pakati pehondo nhatu idzodzo nehondo nhatu dzenyika yose.

Kusukela evesini leshumi, elikhomba ukuwa kweSoviet Union ngo-1989, kuze kufike eMpini yasePanium evesini leshumi nanhlanu, upapa ubulokhu “eqinisa amabutho akhe ukuze aqhubekisele phambili izinhloso zakhe siqu lapho isikhathi sokuhlasela kwakhe sesifikile.” La mavesi aveza izimo zesiprofetho eziyilo “gibe” elilungiswe upapa, okungeke kwenzeke ukuba “kubalekwe.” Ekubhekaneni kokugcina, okumelwe yiMpi yasePanium, umfanekiso wesilo uyokwakhiwa e-United States.
