Who were the Maccabees?
~ Quoracles Digital Gospel ~

…a 21 minute video

“Who were the Maccabees — and why did their story vanish between the Old and New Testaments? For 400 years, God’s voice fell silent, yet faith still burned. Discover how one priestly family rose against tyranny, cleansed the Temple, and restored worship to Israel. This is the story of courage, covenant, and prophecy — the missing link between Malachi and Matthew. Watch till the end to see how their faith prepared the world for the coming of Christ.” (Quoracles Digital Gospel)

…I don’t know why the links disappear after the 23 minute mark. It’s like that on the YouTube page as well.

I will be sharing Maccabees after I finish with Daniel and the apocrypha associated with it, so I won’t go into a whole lot of detail here. Consider this as a sort of intro.

hope you have a great day!
thanks for stopping by!!
