Talked some about Tzitzits and the imagery that goes along with them including hips and how they are symbolic of agency. Book of Esther has problems. D&C on the Apocrypha. Started to read and expound 1 Maccabees 1. Read first part of Daniel 8 that goes with 1 Maccabees 1. Maccabees is showing fulfilment of some of Daniel's prophecies. Spoils and tithing. Some of Daniel's prophecies were translated into the LXX before they happened. Maccabees has connections with Hanukkah. Circumcision was to be done during the time of the Maccabees but not now. PTSD is because of sins people were tricked into doing and they know it's wrong. We are to only to defend on our own land. We are a continuation of Rome. Constitution of the USA was SUFFERED and is not so good.

Christmas is never mentioned in the New Testament but Hannukah is, and Hannukah is a celebration of this period. Jesus himself celebrated Hannukah according to the NT. It is curious that even though modern Jews still celebrate Hannukah and the Maccabees to this day, this book is not part of their canon.

A link to a couple of threads on these subjects.

Roman empire will end when the 5th kingdom from Daniel starts.
