2:153, #457: Jewish Dispersions

Today's fascinating fact in The One Year Book of Christian History is that on August 2, 1492...the same year Columbus the Christian discovered the New World...ALL Jews were kicked out of Spain. It turns out that it was the 9th of Ab in the Jewish calendar...the same day in the Jewish Calendar they got removed from Jerusalem in 586B.C. by the Babylonians, by the Romans from Jerusalem in 70 A.D., and kicked out of all of England in 1290.

I guess when God predicted back in Deuteronomy in the blessings and cursings sections to spread His people out all over the place when they were disobedient to Him, He wasn't joking or exaggerating.

The bas-relief from public domain is of the sack of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. Does anybody think that Adolf Hitler might have been the logical 20th century version of Nebuchadnezzer and Caesar? After all, his Nazi eagles looked just like those of the Roman Empire. And while I think of it, Babylon, Rome, and the Third Reich with their eagle emblems are gone...does that bode ill for the USofA and our bald eagle mentality?
