Mattathias addressed the crowd:
every one that hath zeal for the
Law let him follow mel"
The years following this episode
(167-168 B.C.E.) were spent in
guerilla warfare such as is possible
only in mountainous countries. The
aged man always led the Judean
bands. An open encounter was i'm
minent sooner or later.
But the day was at hand when the
patriarch was to be gathered to his
fathers and matters had to be post
poned. He gathered his five sons to
his bedside and said: g. he

Then followed battle after battle.
The Judean army was always out
numbered. often as much as fifteen
to one. Indeed, never, in all history,
had the world seen such two oppos-
ing armies The Syrian army was
equipped with elephants made drunk
to fight the more furiously; the
Judean army was composed of a
handful of men, mainly mountless
and weaponless. The Syrian COM
manders were experts in the art of
war from childhood: the Judean COM

knew every acrobatic scruple per-

executioner.
To show that he was in earnest,
he instituted an inquisitorial body,

ferret out transgressors, to investi-
gate their guilt, and to mete out pun

The little land was soon at it's low
est ebb. At one time a thousand
Hassidim were set upon by Captain
Philip on the Sabbath, when they
could not defend themselves, were
smoked out of their mountain holes
like foxes, and slaughtered to a man.
III
This marked crucial moment, not
alone in the history Of Israel, but in
the history of the development of
human freedom. Yet nearly all men
hung their heads in silence, wavered,
and slowly lowered their knees be-
fore the statue of Antiochus. But
not the Hasmonean Family.
Mattathias the Hasmonean, form
erly a priest at the Temple, had fled
to Modin, town some three miles
away, when the Syrians entered the
Sanctuary. In his grief he turned to
his five sons, one of whom was Judas
Maccabeus, and appealed: "Why
should we live now that Judea hath
become slave?"
When the Syrian satrap came to
Modin he erected affairs to Zeus Olym-
pus and Antiochus Epiphanes, and
called together the elders of the town
and ordered them to offer up sacri-
fees on the newly erected affairs.
Mattathias and his sons were in the
assembly; and the Syrian governor
turned to the father.
"Thou art a ruler and honorable
man and a great man in the city. and
strengthened with sons and brethren.
Now, therefore, come thou first and
obey the kings commandment, as all
nations have done, and thou and thy
sons shall be the kings friends, and
shall be enriched with gold and silver
and many presents"
But the white haired sage replied:
"Though all the nations that are
under the kings dominion obey him.
and fall away from the religion of
their fathers, God forbid that we
should forsake the Laws and the
Ordinances! We will not hearken to
the kings words to go from our re-
ligion either on the right hand or on
the left"
Apelles then proceeded to offer up
sacrifices with the assistance of the
renegades. At once the old man and
his five sons sprang upon him and
strangled him and his minions. Then

Modern historians trace the birth
of Democracy to the American and
the French revolutions at the close
of the eighteenth century. But they
are only partly right. The eighteenth
century saw it's rebfrth. In reality
Democracy was born more than two
/ thousand years ago in the little land
of Judea..
At the death of Alexander the
Great, Judea found herself between
Egypt and Syria like a storm tossed
vessel between Scylla and Charybdis.
In 202 before the common era she
was finally annexed to the Syro-
Macedonian empire. Some few
decades later the emperor Antiochus
Epiphanes conceived a vast scheme
OF Hellenization, to solidify his
crumbling empire. All his subjects
were to worship one God.-Antiochus
His plan worked well in every one
of his provinces-except Judea. Here
he found himself opposed even by
the Hellenic Party.
While engaged on the battle field
in a struggle against Egypt, rumor
was spread in Jerusalem that the
tyrant had fallen. Now Judea
thought it time to strike. Men and
women gathered in the court of the
Temple and drove out Antiochus's
appointed High Priest. Then they
attacked with sticks and stones the
AGRA, the military camp overlooking
the Temple, and succeeded in ejecting
the troops.
The rumor proved false and Anti
ochus came to Jerusalem to wreak
vengeance. on the inhabitants. He
sacked the city, pulled down it's walls,
entered the Temple, and robbed it of
its treasures. Then he burned the
Torah, demolished the Altar, and
erected statue to Jupiter in the
fore-court. He killed a swine and
sprinkled it's blood on the Holy of
Holes, cooked the flesh and sprinkled
the juice on the Holy Scriptures. He
ended by compelling his own reap
pointed High Priest to eat from the
stew.
AS a result Jerusalem lay desolate,
her inhabitants fleeing the land. In
sackcloth and ashes many hurried to
the Mountains of Ephraim.
But that did not seem to satisfy
the tyrant. He started a campaign
of calumny against all Israel. He
spread a rumor that he had seen in
the Holy of Holes statue of a
bearded man with a book in hand,
presumably Moses, sitting on an ass.
He further declared that he had seen
lying tied in bed in the Temple,
Greek whom the Jews were about to
slaughter and feed on his entrails,
while they swore eternal hatred
against Hellas and all mankind.
Such was their abominable relig-
ion, he proclaimed. From now on
they would have to stop worshiping
their cruel god, who was represented
by the head Of an ass, and would
have to sacrifice to Jupiter and to
all his other subjects.
He ordered all Hebrew affairs de-
stroyed and on their sites affairs to
be erected to Jupiter and to himself.
