Spoke 7: The Biblewheel and The 7th Century

Spoke 7: The Biblewheel and The 7th Century

When you look at the pattern of the Biblewheel, where the pattern of the Hebrew Alphabet, being 22 letters is found not only in the Alphabetic Psalms and poetic parts of the Bible, but also found in the pattern of books and chapters and numerical values within the text as well (days, years, amounts mentioned in the text).




This alpha-numerical pattern is found in history as well. In this case let us compare the Spokes of the Biblewheel with the books of the Bible related to the Spoke as well as the letter of the Hebrew Alphabet.

I had made a video on the life of Heraclius. But the more I read it adds more insight. Heraclius, means hero. his dynasty was named after his name, which he also inherited by his father, Heraclius Sr the Exarchate of Carthage. He came to the rescue when Phocas killed Emperor Maurice to replace him and then raped a nobleman's wife. So he was a hero in character., who lived up to his name and perhaps even his calling.

It would be nice if you show your sources, if possible, because I would like to look more into it. It is interesting that Chosroes II had close relations with Emperor Maurice. And he was educated as a Christian. Was he baptized as well? And Maurice's death led him to rebel even though Heraclius was also opposed to Phocas who murdered Maurice. But Phocas himself was angry because as a general he felt that Maurice sent them to battle westward only to abandon them in the cold and leave them with no pay. But Heraclius pacified the generals' anger by dividing the land into themes and giving them charge instead of paying them.

This was also mentioned in the 7th book, Judges of the Bible. It begins with the dividing of the land to their tribes. Judges are known to not necessarily be powerful nor knowledgeable but with the little that they have, with the help of God, were able to conquer their enemies. But in the book of Judges there were civil wars as well. And the scenery among the Persians which you describe matches to that of Gideon's son Abimelech who slew his brothers. His act caused a reaction of a civil war in Judges 9. As you mention, the same thing did Kavadh by killing his father and his brethren and half brothers. Abimelech was the son of a concubine who slew his half brothers. And just as the Persians laid a failed siege on Constantinople, so did Abimelech fail against the inhabitants of Shechem (see below). And just as you mentioned the Roman and Persian war was called the war of the cross, there was a resembling scenario in the narration of Judges 9 as Abimelech cut down boughs from the trees and to his followers to do likewise, which reflects Jesus' teaching to his disciples that just as he came to be crucified, his disciples should carried their own cross as well and follow Jesus, walking in this same path.

[Jdg 9:44 KJV]

And Abimelech, and the company that [was] with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two [other] companies ran upon all [the people] that [were] in the fields, and slew them.

[Jdg 9:45 KJV]

And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that [was] therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.

[Jdg 9:46 KJV]

And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard [that], they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.

[Jdg 9:47 KJV]

And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

[Jdg 9:48 KJV]

And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid [it] on his shoulder, and said unto the people that [were] with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and] do as I [have done].

[Jdg 9:49 KJV]

And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put [them] to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.

[Jdg 9:50 KJV]

Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.

[Jdg 9:51 KJV]

But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut [it] to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.

[Jdg 9:52 KJV]

And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

The 7th Spoke with Post-Christian History of the 7th Century and Links

Spoke 7: The Biblewheel and The 7th Century (Go back to main Menu) - Boniface cut down the Thor's Oak; - the Heraclian dynasty almost lasts the entire 7th century. The book of Judges the 7th book of the bible is a book on heroes called judges who saved Israel; - Heraclius Byzantine Emperor beheaded his predecessor for raping an aristocrat's wife and defeated his enemies, but then married his niece and fell out of favor and saw the rising threat of Islam. The 7th Commandment is not to commit adultery; - Heraklonas was the first to be mutilated to prevent him to become emperor like Adonibezek and Samson in Judges the 7th book; - the Colossus of Rhodes' parts were melted and used for coins by Muslims; - Justinian II Rhinotmetos was also mutilated. Rhinotmetos, his nickname means the Slit-nosed. After being imprisoned by the Khazars he flees and slays two men and returns to the throne in Constantinople; - 20 years' anarchy followed after Justinian II's first reign (just like the book of Judges, the 7th book when no king ruled over Israel); - Iconoclasm (destroying icons used for worship) in the Byzantine Empire and Islam; - the fate of Colossae to whom the 7th epistle is written to. - the Battle of Yarmouk is when the Byzantines lost against the Muslims. The Byzantines outnumbered them but were not organized due to their religions convictions; - the rise of Islam; - Yazid I breaks the oath of allegiance that his father had made to give the Caliphate back to Hassan the eldest son of Muhammad's daughter Fatimah and of Ali; - the 7th Century conflict of the Caliphate succession compared to the 7th book of the Bible Judges' falling of the Holy Spirit on whomever God saw fit and the issue of taxation/tributary in the middle east.
