“The historical books of the Hebrew Bible recorded the danger to Israel that emanated from Assyria,”

Only an idiot who has no knowledge of metaphors and the use of words as symbols would refer to the Hebrew Bible as “historical books”. And only an idiot who lacks in abstract thinking would use the word “Israel” to imply a physical place or a country... Not even in the Hebrew Bible, anywhere, the word “Israel” is ever referred to as “Land/Country”.

“Babylon, and Egypt. The imperial expansion of the two Mesopotamian empires westward toward Palestine and Egypt had naturally attracted the attention of the prophets. Assyrian power and cultural influence were at their height in the time of the prophet Isaiah, the prophet who showed the keenest interest in the affairs of the Assyrians.8”

Isaiah’s book starts with: {1:1} The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah,... I guess to an idiot sculptor and one with a PhD, “Vision” means “history”. How convenient lol...

“It is important to bear in mind that the Christians had been reading or hearing about the Assyrians for over 1,200 years before the cuneiform documents
were excavated and deciphered. The cultural and religious life of the Christians, in both the East and West, was reshaped by the prayers, proverbs, lamentations, and poetry of the Old Testament. Its stories, histories, and legends became favorite folktales, the source of their folklore and legends for centuries to come.”

NO! That is just your stupid opinion, no more no less... And here is just as good an opinion as yours but based on FACTS: It is rather important to bear in mind that everyone had been reading or hearing about Assyrian histories and legends FROM what the Assyrians wrote on tablets LONG BEFORE they were copied on “paper” as the Old Testament. That fact has long been proven beyond any doubt by those more qualified than the biased idiots like pancho and his JJ hero.

“The history of the ancient Hebrew kingdoms of Israel and Judah,” wrote Saggs,”was a living thing, as generally known as British history.”9 The Hebrew Bible that the Christians inherited gave them not only a sacred book but also a vision of the past and of its peoples; it provided them with a new and distinct identity.10 In time, the only past that these Christians knew came from the Old Testament--what Oxford scholar Fergus Millar calls “the historical inheritance of the Bible.”11

There was NEVER any mention of any ancient Hebrew kingdoms of “Israel” and Judah. The kingdoms were “Jerusalem and Judah”, Idiot... You pick up a FALSE line and you build on it expecting to make it right? How stupid of you.

“Emhardt and Lamsa in the 1920s, and modern Assyrian writers after them, have misinterpreted the Rogation of the Ninevites as a unique fast among the Nestorians, observed as a thanksgiving “for the salvation of their forefathers,” entirely missing the theological and historical significance of the Biblical story of Jonah in both Jewish and Christian tradition.”19

“Misinterpreted” the Rogation as uniquely Nestorians, did they? Why don’t you tell us how it was “misinterpreted” if it was practiced by the Assyrians 1000 years long before Nestorius was born?

And “entirely “missing” the theological and historical significance”? Why don’t you tell us how they missed that and what that “significance” is? Pancho likes his soul mates to “explain” and “defend” their views backed with “evidence”. So go ahead and make your pancho happy.

Master Monkey, Screw you and your JJ Mickey mouse hero... You are truely a waste of time and a burden on our oxygen supply...
