Storyline, Week 15, Maccabean Revolt and Roman Occupation

In the final week of our Storyline series Pastor LeeWood finally brings us to the opening of the New Testament. By looking at the action of Antiochus Epiphanes and the subsequent Maccabean Revolt we see that the stage was set for Israel to earn their freedom, but not for long. Soon after the Hasmonean dynasty was established the Romans were looming, and eventually they take over the nation. The big takeaway from this session is that every major tension that we encounter in the New Testament is firmly established by the time we meet John the Baptist.
