Note from Webmaster
The books of the MACCABEES tell us the passages between Maleági in the OLD TESTAMENT to the birth of Jesus in the New Testament. There is nothing in the Bible about this. (±450 years) These books tell us about Judah and Benjamin, two of the tribes of Israel that remained and are now known to us as Jews, to the other 10 tribes known as Israel in exile carried off through Syria to this day. We must never forget that after the sin of Solomon for marrying heathen women, God divided as punishment the old Israel which consisted of 12 tribes, 10 Northern tribes known as Israel and the two southern tribes confessed as Judah, now also called Jews. Read the Bible from 1 Kings 11 from verse 1 to MaleÁgi.
The events described in the five books took place under the rule of Greek leaders as the third world rulers as described in the Dream of Nebuchadnezzar. First there was Babylon, then fellow Persians to the Greeks who were taken over by the fourth viz. The Romans. Why not read the book of Daniel in the Bible? The events of the MACCABEES take place after Alexander the Great died, and his four Generals divided the world among them as rulers.
