In the chapter XXIII of the New Testament, King Herod Antipas was forced to keep John the Baptist, a faithful man, in his prison for Queen Herodias against his releasing due to John’s objection to her marriage with the King. When the young daughter of Queen Herodias, the princess, was permitted an oath by the King through the way of pleasing him. When she turned to her mother to inquire what shall she asked, the mother said without sympathy and forgiveness: “The head of John the Baptist.” The King Herod was not willing but to obey the promise made by himself, and due to the reason of killing a faithful prophet, the King himself at the end was sent out of his own country, and what’s more, all the riches and honors he possessed were taken by the Lord.

Everybody was tricked and put into their lies and they thought they could trust these men, but when they gained the trust of others they began voicing their opinions and putting down restrictions. Both of the armies used people 's devastation against them for their gain of power but the two situations were different in the way that one was political and the other they played the role of the savior to gain
This statement is really upsetting knowing that the Branch of Davidians would even kill the innocent children. The violence that occurred went to an
In Matthew 2, it claims that Herod kills the all baby boys in Bethlehem that are younger than two years. There is no evidence to prove this but it does not seem far off based off of the history of Herod’s character. The book of Matthew is very negative about the Roman empire and its allies. The Gospels present Rome’s world as under God’s judgement, it presents Jesus as the Son of Man entrusted with God’s rule. Rome’s armies are destroyed along with the cosmetic deities that sanctioned its power, and God’s life-giving rule or kingdom for all people is established.
Unfortunately, the misunderstanding regarding his intentions enabled noblemen to interpret it as allowing for the massacre to take place. This issue of his true intentions would become an issue that would take some time to resolve due to the simple fact that rumors and other noble elites traveled at a faster pace than those of his letters. The fear of an uprising and previous quarrels enabled for the words of the king to be distorted in such a way that the Christians were finally able to seek their revenge.
One year ago, Jerusalem was razed, pillaged, and looted, crusaders fighting a "Holy War" attacked Jerusalem with heavy siege weapons. The stones of Jerusalem stained with red as crimson blood of the innocent, slowly flowing down the streets of Jerusalem. The crusaders slaughtered men, children, and women alike, killing everyone and everything as they passed. The crusaders bloodied by the death of the innocent raced along the streets, seizing people's long earned possessions, but thieving was the least of the crimes made that night. Death seized the city as the crusaders raced from street to street, killing, murdering, and bringing death to the innocent.

Ancient Egypt Dear King Hammurabi, my quest from Egypt was quite a journey, let me start by telling you about the Nile River. The Nile is the longest river in the world, with a total distance of 4,000 miles long. This spectacular river floods every year, but in Egypt this is a good thing because it provided the Egyptians with fertile silt for crops. On top of that, it also provided the water of which they sailed ships out of Egypt. Fish and other animals were also in the Nile, which was another way it was good for food.
The civilizations that flourished in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Palestine were located in river valleys or along the Mediterranean coast. These civilizations developed highly complex cultures that shared many common characteristics. Egyptians were a very advanced civilization due to their inventions and technology. The Old Kingdom, which first began in 2650 B.C as stated in the timeline of Document 1, was defined by its many great pyramids and monuments. From there on in the ancient Egyptian timeline, Egyptians surpassed other civilizations through their many remarkable advancements and achievements.
Judges 4 “She summoned Barak. and said to him, “Hasn’t the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you, ‘Go, deploy the troops on Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men.? Then I will lure Sisera, commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his infantry. to fight against you, and I will hand him over to you.’” vs 6-7. The Israelites “again did evil in the sight of the LORD”.
For him, the defense of Islam and the sanctity of Jerusalem were paramount. His chronicle reflects the besieged perspective, emphasizing the urgency of protecting their faith. He highlights atrocities committed by the European forces, including massacres and desecration of religious sites. The Seljuks also believed that Jerusalem belonged to them and that the Franks had no right over the Holy Land. They believed that God was on their side in the war, he gave them victories and “cast down the infidels”.
In verse three, the Lord commanded Saul to go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. Saul and the Israelites decided to spare Agag the king of the Amalekites and the best sheep, oxen, lambs and anything that was deemed good. Their reasoning was to have all be sacrificed to the Lord as an offering, however, this was not what the Lord commanded. In return, the Lord stripped Saul from being king of Israel and Samuel never spoke or saw Saul
The moment the foundation was laid and the people shouted for joy, and the sound was heard far away (Ezra 3:11-13), their enemies responded immediately. The intense and sustained opposition spanned over two Kings. Ezra gives a very interesting
