He was called the Mightiest of Heroes, the Prince, At times he manifested himself as Hadad, god of storm, thunder, lightning. He is described as rohev aravot, Rider-of-the-Clouds, in the tablets of the Ugarit." Ref-0150, p. 38.

Note "The destruction of Babylon according to Jeremiah 51:8 was to be sudden. This is confirmed by Rev. 18:17-19. As far as the physical city of Babylon was concerned, this was not true of ancient Babylon as it continued for many years after its political downfall. Further, it is pointed out that the prophecy of Isa. 13:6; Isa. 13:9-11 which formed the context of Isa. 13:19-22, indicates that the destruction of Babylon would be in the day of the Lord [Ref-0036, pp. 1-30]" Ref-0032, p. 262.

Note "'Babylon' was a common euphemism for 'Rome' in the Pseudepigrapha (2 Baruch 11:1, 67:7; Sibylline Oracles 5:143, 159) and in rabbinic writings. Midrash Rabbah on Sos. 1:6 states directly, One calls Rome 'Babylon.' Yechiel Lichtenstein on 1 Pe 5:13 remarks that Rome is called 'Babylon' since it is always described as the worst kingdom."

Bar-Mitzvah : Ishmael - circumcised; Luke 2:42 (?); Rom. 7:9

Note Hebrew. "Son of command." At first Sabbath after 12 years of age, directly responsible before God thereafter and eligible for father's inheritance. Also qualifies as one of ten adult males needed to found a synagogue. "Luke specifically mentions the visit during Jesus' twelfth year because Jesus was performing the Jewish mitzvot connected with arriving at the age of puberty." Ref-0146, p. 257. "It was apparently a tradition that children accompany their fathers to the Passover at least a year prior to their reaching puberty (M. Niddah 5:7-9; cf. M. Hagiga 1:1; Pirke Avot 5:24), S. Safrai, 'Home and Family,' JPFC 2:771f, notes that T. Hagiga 1:2 indicates that a child was to keep whatever mitzvot he was capable of performing. The later concept of the Bar Mitzvah probably developed from this early tradition." Ref-0146, p. 670, note 9. Questionable: Luke 2:42 (?);

Belshazzar - Babylonian Chronicle : Dan. 5:1; Dan. 7:1; Dan. 8:1

Note The Babylonian Chronicle in the British Museum is one of four bearing the same text found at the four corners of the ziggurat at Ur. It is inscribed in Babylonian cuneiform and mentions "Belshazzar, the son first (born) the offspring of my heart (body)." Ref-0016, Feb. 1998, p. 10.


Belshazzar - co-regent king : Dan. 5:1; Dan. 5:16

Note Archaeological discoveries indicate that Belshazzar was in charge of the northern frontier of the Babylonian empire while his father Nabonidus maintained his headquarters at Teman in North Arabia. Among the discoveries at the site of Ur is an inscription of Nabunaid, dated 530 B.C., containing a prayer for Nabunaid himself followed by a second prayer for his firstborn son, Bel-shar-usur--such prayers being customarily offered only for the reigning monarch. Ref-0001, p. 427. "The new evidence confirming the theory that Nabonidus was absent is found in the statement in the 'Prayer of Nabonidus' that Nabonidus was at the oasis of Teima in Arabia at this time." Ref-0005, p. 115, footnote.


Belshazzar - first year of reign : chronology - BC 553 - Belshazzar's first year See note
Belshazzar - Nebuchadnezzar's son : Dan. 5:11

Note Ancient usage of the term "son" often referred to a successor in the same office whether or not there was a blood relationship. Moreover it is a distinct possibility that in this case there was an actual genetic relationship between Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. If Nabonidus married a daughter of Nebuchadnezzar in order to legitimize his usurpation of the throne back in 556 B.C, it would follow that his son by her would be the grandson of Nebuchadnezzar. Ref-0001, p. 426.

Note See Ref-0075, p. 21. "The word Bible can rightfully claim to be the great-grandson of the Greek word biblios, which was the name given to the outer coat of papyrus reed in Egypt during the eleventh century B.C. The plural form of biblios is biblia, and by the second century A.D. Christians were using this latter word to describe their writings." "...it is noteworthy that Chrysostom appears to be the first writer to use the phrase 'the books' (Gk ta biblia of the two Testaments together; in Christian usage the phrase had previously been restircted to the Old Testament writings."

Note "In the Leiden Museum in Holland is a papyrus written in a later period... It could have been from the 13th dynasty describing the conditions that prevailed after the plagues had struck [Egypt]. It reads, Nay, but the heart is violent. Plague stalks through the land and blood is everywhere... Nay, but the river is blood. Does a man drink from it? As a human he rejects it. He thirsts for water... Nay, but gates, columns and walls are consumed with fire... Nay but men are few. He that lays his brother in the ground is everywhere... Nay but the sone of the high-born man is no longer to be recognized... The stranger people from outside are come into Egypt...." Ref-0003, Vol. 15(1) 2001, p. 56.

Note Notice the different emphasis placed on the role of the branch: King (Jer. 23:5-6), servant (Zec. 3:8), man (Zec. 6:12), and of God (Isa. 4:2). These correspond to the four-fold emphasis of the gospels. See gospels - emphasis of. "The identification of the 'Branch' (Hebrew, zemach) with the Messiah is as least as old as the Targum Jonathan (50 B.C.), which at both Zec. 3:8 and 6:12 translated zemach 'Branch' as mashiach 'Messiah.'"

British Israelitism : Gen. 28:11

Note "One especially curious legened has the Ark [of the Covenant] taken to the Irish isles by Ollam Fodhla ('holy prophet') and a small band in 584 B.C. According to this account the group landed near Ulster, where the descendants of the Tribe of Dan lived. The 'holy prophet' who had brought the Ark was the prophet Jeremiah, and he subsequently buried it under a hill known today as Ollam Fordhla's Cairn ('Jeremiah's Cave'). He als brought the stone that Jacob used as a pillow (see Genesis 28:11). This is claimed to be the coronation stone that sits under the throne chair in Britain. This legened has no historical support, but I include it because British-Israelitism seems to be making a return among anti-Semitic groups in America and abroad." Ref-0142, pp. 97-98.

Note May mean more than to let the spiritual dead bury the physical deadi (which would seem to contradict the 5th commandment to honor parents and proper burial (Deu. 21:22-23)). Jewish burial in the time of Jesus actually consisted of two burials that took place at least one year apart. First within family burial cave ("gathered to the fathers") followed by a period of mourning. Second within bone box (ossuary), usually with remains of other family members, after the flesh had decomposed. Jesus' retort may have been in reference to disciple wanting 11-month leave and unbiblical aspect of secondary burial. Ref-0025, p. 42. [See 2Chr. 21:2 for textual hint of two stages.]
