And now the Brave Redbren of Judah by Charlotte M Young.

BC 180.

It was about 180 years before the Christian era.

The Jews had long since come home from Babylon and built up their city and temple at Jerusalem.

But they were not free as they had been before.

Their country belonged to some greater power.

They had a foreign governor over them and had to pay tribute to the king who was their master.

All the time we are going to speak of this.

This king was Antiochus epiphanies, king of Syria.

He was descended from one of those generals who upon the death of Alexander the Great had shared the east between them and he reigned over all the country from the Mediterranean Sea, even to Persia, and the borders of India.

He spoke Greek, and believed in both the Greek and Roman gods, for he had spent some time at Rome

in his youth. but in his Eastern Kingdom he had learnt

all the self-indulgent and violent habits to which people in those hot countries are especially tempted.

He was so fierce and passionate that he was often called the madman, and he was very cruel

to all who offended him.

One of his greatest desires was that the Jews should leave their true faith in one God

and do like the Greeks and Syrians, his other subjects, worship the same idols and hold drunken feasts in their honor.
