Difference between revisions of "Sons Of Greece"

<p> "I will stir up thy sons, [[[[O]] Z]]  ion, against thy sons, O G reece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man" (&nbsp;Zechariah 9:13 ). The passage doubtless refers to the captive Hebrews who are held by the Greeks. The exhortation is to insurrection against the Greeks. Although bearing a striking similarity to the passage in &nbsp;Joel 3:6 , there is evidently no connection between the two. In the first, there was conflict between the nations; in the second, simply a reflection upon [[Tyre]] and [[Sidon]] for having sold into [[Greece]] certain [[Jewish]] captives. From a Jewish standpoint the Maccabean wars were really between [[Jews]] and Greeks. See [[Javan]]; [[Asmoneans]] . </p>
