How many days did the Jews rule the present day Palestine

Question

How long did the Jews rule the present day Palestine? I know they have supposedly maintained a presence in Palestine for thousands of years, but how long did they rule Palestine? Who did they capture Palestine from and who did they lose it to?

Answer 1

"Present-day Palestine"?

Have we travelled back to 1947?

Answer 2

Yet again I come to dispel vain attempts to distort history.

Assuming others will simply take his word rather than learn from actual history sites and even his own source, is the glaring fault with that plan.

It makes perfect sense that a GREEK Historian writing during a period of Greek rule of Judea would refer to the area by the name of his ancient Aegean seafarer ancestors, the Philistines. The Philistines occupied the five cities of Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath, along the coastal strip of southwestern Canaan, south of the kingdom of Israel.

"The term 'Palestine' is derived from the Philistines. In the fifth century BCE the Greek historian Herodotus seems to have used the term Palaistine Syria (= Philistine Syria) to refer to the whole region between Phoenicia and the Lebanon mountains in the north and Egypt in the south. (While the exact meaning intended by Herodotus is debated, later Greek writers certainly used 'Philistine Syria' in this very broad sense.) The Greeks felt a great kinship to their ancient kin, the Philistines. Greece was their original homeland!

The Philistines lost their independence to Tiglath-Pileser III of Assyria by 732 BCE, and revolts in following years were all crushed. Later, Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon eventually conquered all of Syria and the Kingdom of Judah, and the former Philistine cities became part of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. There are few references to the Philistines after this time period. However, Ezekiel 25:16, Zechariah 9:6, and I Macabees 3 make mention of the Philistines, indicating that they still existed as a people in some capacity after the Babylonian invasion. Eventually all traces of the Philistines as a people or ethnic group disappear. This all happened long before Herodotus wrote his history. Subsequently the cities were under the control of Persians, Jews (Hasmonean Kingdom), Greeks (Seleucid Empire), Romans, and subsequent empires.

The Seleucid Empire (312 - 60 BCE) was a Hellenistic successor state of Alexander the Great's dominion. It was during the GREEK rule that Herodotus lived and wrote.

During the second century BCE, under the Hasmonean priest-kings, the name of the tribe of Judah became applied to a very wide region, and when the Romans took control of that territory in 63 BCE, they called it Provincia Judaea.

However, in CE 135, after putting down the second major Jewish revolt against Rome, the Emperor Hadrian wanted to blot out the name of Judea and the presence of the Jews so he changed it to Provincia Syria Palaestina (ie the Latin version of the Greek term). This was later shortened to Palaestina, from which the modern 'Palestine' is derived.

According to noted historian, Thomas McCall, the name "Palestine" was not used until the early second century CE. The Romans continued the use of Judea and called the northern regions Galilee. McCall wrote: "When Titus destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D.,the Roman government struck a coin with the phrase 'Judea Capta,' meaning Judea has been captured. The term Palestine was never used in the early Roman designations." After Bar Kochba's unsuccessful second Jewish revolt against Rome in 135 CE, Emperor Hadrian ordered that all Jews be exiled from the Holy Land. "He took the name of the ancient enemies of Israel, the Philistines, Latinized it to Palestine, and applied it to the Land of Israel. He hoped to erase the name Israel from all memory."

The name of the Philistines, a people that had historically been continually warring against the Jewish kingdoms, was chosen by Hadrian for the very purpose of insulting the Jews.

There is an arch in Rome showing their capture of the Jewish kingdom and sacking the Temple . I suppose the arch of Titus and the coins along with museums full of archaeological evidence of Jewish kingdoms are invisible to people who wish to ignore the right of the Jewish people to the homeland of Israel in peace alongside her neighbors.

There has never been an independent country of Palestine in the area.. There could have been one alongside Israel, for 60 years now.

Jordan comprises 78 percent of the former British Mandate of Palestine, so perhaps it is the "modern" Palestine of which the asker speaks.

Shalom

edit: Others here had already given ample reference to the massive amount of historic and archaeological evidence of Jewish presence and rule over the centuries.

Israel is covered with archaeological remains that attest to this.

Answer 3

Never.

The present day Palestine is Jordan, Jews never ruled Jordan.

Jews however have been ruling Israel(again) for 60 years now.

They did not capture it from no one as it belonged to no one.

They lost Judah to the Romans but have regained it.

Answer 4

1250-1050 B.C.E.- the Jewish people started to rule in Israel. It was divided into 11 different nations (one for each of the tribes, except for the tribe of Levi, because the inheritance of the Levites was to serve G-d in their profession.) Torah was the law of the land, and when the Israelites didn't follow Torah, G-d would allow Israel's enemies to subdue them for a little while. But G-d would send judges to bring people back to Torah and fight their enemies.

1050-920 B.C.E.- united monarchy of all 12 tribes, beginning with Saul, a person from the tribe a Benjamin. However, due to disobendience to G-d, G-d removed the title of king from Saul and transferred to David and his descendants. Solomons sons divide the land.

920-722 B.C.E- The Kingdom of Israel with the Northern Tribes.and King Jeroboam to King Hosea. Conquered by the Assyrians and vanquished.

920-587 B.C.E.- The Kingom of Judah with the Southern Tribes and King Rehoboam to King Zedekiah. Conquered by Babylon. Remained

unassimilated.

142-37 B.C.E.- Hasmonean Monarchy, when Hasmoneans fought and redicated the holy sites to Judaism and ruled over Israel. Dispute over kingship caused puppet to rule for Rome.

1948-Present- Israel reestablished.

Answer 5

There was no Palestine then.  It is a made up word that came into play in the 20th century.

Gr. diaspora, "scattered," (Jas 1:1; 1Pe 1:1)) of the Jews. At various times, and from the operation of divers causes, the Jews were separated and scattered into foreign countries "to the outmost parts of heaven" (Deut 30:4).



(1.) Many were dispersed over Assyria, Media, Babylonia, and Persia, descendants of those who had been transported thither by the Exile. The ten tribes, after existing as a separate kingdom for two hundred and fifty-five years, were carried captive (B.C. 721) by Shalmaneser (or Sargon), king of Assyria. They never returned to their own land as a distinct people, although many individuals from among these tribes, there can be no doubt, joined with the bands that returned from Babylon on the proclamation of Cyrus.



(2.) Many Jews migrated to Egypt and took up their abode there. This migration began in the days of Solomon (2Ki 18:21, 24; Isa 30:7). Alexander the Great placed a large number of Jews in Alexandria, which he had founded, and conferred on them equal rights with the Egyptians. Ptolemy Philadelphus, it is said, caused the Jewish Scriptures to be translated into Greek (the work began B.C. 284), for the use of the Alexandrian Jews. The Jews in Egypt continued for many ages to exercise a powerful influence on the public interests of that country. From Egypt they spread along the coast of Africa to Cyrene (Acts 2:10) and to Ethiopia (Acts 8:27).



(3.) After the time of Seleucus Nicator (B.C. 280), one of the captains of Alexander the Great, large numbers of Jews migrated into Syria, where they enjoyed equal rights with the Macedonians. From Syria they found their way into Asia Minor. Antiochus the Great, king of Syria and Asia, removed 3,000 families of Jews from Mesopotamia and Babylonia, and planted them in Phrygia and Lydia.



(4.) From Asia Minor many Jews moved into Greece and Macedonia, chiefly for purposes of commerce. In the apostles' time they were found in considerable numbers in all the principal cities.



From the time of Pompey the Great (B.C. 63) numbers of Jews from Palestine and Greece went to Rome, where they had a separate quarter of the city assigned to them. Here they enjoyed considerable freedom.



Thus were the Jews everywhere scattered abroad. This, in the overruling providence of God, ultimately contributed in a great degree toward opening the way for the spread of the gospel into all lands.



Dispersion, from the plain of Shinar. This was occasioned by the confusion of tongues at Babel (Gen 11:9). They were scattered abroad "every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations" (Gen 10:5, 20, 31).



The tenth chapter of Genesis gives us an account of the principal nations of the earth in their migrations from the plain of Shinar, which was their common residence after the Flood. In general, it may be said that the descendants of Japheth were scattered over the north, those of Shem over the central regions, and those of Ham over the extreme south. The following table shows how the different families were dispersed:

Answer 6

Judea lasted only 80 years but it did not rule all of Palestine.

Israel is only 60 years old and note it dose not rule all of Palestine.

Answer 7

About 900 years, or 328,500 days.

"The land formerly known as Palestine."

The region formerly known as Palestine was formerly known as Israel and only renamed to Palestine by the Romans in order to offend the Jews who lived there

Maybe you have never read a history book but the Jews have been continuously living there for over three thousand years. How long have Arabs or Muslims been living there? Nowhere near as long. Half of Jewish history had already happened there by the time Mohammed even spoke his first words.

In pre-Biblical times, the area was known as the Land of Canaan and had been a collection of city-states, tributary to the Egyptian Pharoah, as attested to in the Tel-El Amarna tablets. The breakup of the Egyptian empire beginning about 1500 BC made possible the invasion of the Israelites. According to Jewish tradition, twelve tribes entered Canaan from Egypt and conquered it, led by Joshua approximately 1240-1200 BC. Historical evidence from the Amarna tablets suggests that there were already 'apiru' (Hebrews) among the Canaanites in the time of Egyptian rule.

During the final years of the Late Bronze Age, the Philistines also invaded Canaan (1500 - 1200 BC).

The Biblical account continues with the rise of an Israelite kingdom, first under Saul and then under David at about 1000 BC, the date of David's conquest of Jerusalem.

In 539 B.C. the Persians conquered the Babylonians. Alexander the Great conquered the area in 333 BC. Later, the attempt of Antiochus IV to impose Hellenism brought a Jewish revolt under the Maccabees, who set up a new Jewish state in 142 BC The state lasted until 63 BC, when Pompey conquered the region for Rome.

When the Jews revolted in 66 AD, the Romans destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem (70 AD). The Bar Kochba revolt between 132 and 135 AD was also suppressed, Jericho and Bethlehem were destroyed, and the Jews were barred from Jerusalem. The Roman Emperor Hadrian determined to wipe out the identity of Israel-Judah-Judea. Therefore, he took the name Palastina and imposed it on all the Land of Israel. At the same time, he changed the name of Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina. The Romans killed many Jews and sold many more in slavery but there was never a complete abandonment of the Land of Israel: there were always Jews and Jewish communities in Palestine, though the size and conditions of those communities fluctuated greatly.

Answer 8

There is no historical evidence for any jewish kingdom at any point in time whatsoever; Herodotus in his 5th century B.C. "Histories" makes no mention of jews or hebrews or any other jewish nation,although he thoroughly documents Syria,Palestine and Phoenicia. So far as we know,the small provinces of Judea and Samaria were the extent of their "governorship" but it must be remembered that even this was under first Persian and later Roman tutelage. Nor have they dominated the region demographically - until 1948 and more extensively 1967 to the present.

Answer 9

Two thousand years ago, when the Jews were exiled from Israel by the Romans, the Romans changed the name of Israel to Palestine, and the name of Jerusalem to Ilia Capitoline.  They did this in order to obliterate any connection between the Jewish people and their homeland.

The Palestinian people were a 1967 invention, courtesy of Yasser Arafat.  The Palestinians are Arabs from Jordan, Syria, and Egypt.

The original Palestinians referred to by the Romans were the Philistines, who were a non-Semitic nation which invaded Israel at one point in History.
