Nope. There was a final revolt in 617. Also look up David al Roy and Queen Kahanna.

“Love your neighbor as yourself” is in Leviticus (Leviticus 19:18). It wasn’t a teaching unique to Hillel, Akiva or Jesus. It’s basic Jewish law.

The title should of course read "mystery," not "myster."

Can that be corrected?

Serious mistakes in this piece. The claim that there was no Jewish army until the 20th century is laughable
It would be 2,000 years before there would be a Jewish fighting force. In the great and tragic defeat, not only were between 250,000-600,000 Jews killed, but the Romans were encouraged, once and for all, to uproot the Jewish religion and the Jewish People, to bring an end to their revolutionary hopes and their redemptive dreams.


During the last Persian-Byzantine war of 602-628, Nehemiah ben Hushiel, supposedly the son of the Jewish Exilarch /Reish Galuta in Babylon, led 20,000 Persian Jews into Byzantine occupied Israel. In 614, after Byzantine Jews revolted, Jerusalem was liberated and under nominal Jewish control until 617, when the Persians betrayed the Jews in Israel in a vain effort to get Christian support.

Other instances included the Berber queen Kahina, who led Berbers and Berber Jews in a fight against Islamic invasion.
The failed messianic claimaint David Al Roy comes to mind. And then there were the Khazar nobles who converted to Judaism and married Jews.

Thanks rmlew.

The strength of the article is its focus on the Bar Kokhba' era and how it ties in to the gradual change from a landed warrior nation to a nation of exiled scholars, and how this in turn ties in to the messianic redemption.

I defer to you on these other historical matters.
