Joseph the youngest, nicknamed Arsis: Russian – 50, Rome. –60. Jesus of Sirach, in whose days John Hyrcanus was also, years old: Rus.-16, Rom.-16. According to Bellarmine and Alstead – 17 years He was the last prince of Judah in Jerusalem from the tribe of David and was killed during the war with the Syrian king Antiochus, nicknamed Epiphanes. After the death of the last prince Ioannai, the Jews did not have a leader for a long time. Great persecution and torment came from Antiochus, and the bishops began to seize power from one another through bribes and violence. And there was great confusion and rebellion in Jerusalem until God restored the brave men from the Levitical family, called the Maccabees, who delivered the Jews from the tormenting yoke with weapons. Matthias Maccabee was a leader and bishop of the Jews - 1 year. Alstedius says: 3 years, after which he died. Judah Maccabee, son of Matthias, leader and bishop – 6 years Jonathan Maccabee, brother of Judah, leader and bishop - 19 years old According to Alstead and Strateman - 18 years. Simon, brother of Jonathan and Judah, leader and bishop - 7 years John Hyrcanus, son of Simon, leader and bishop - 31 years old According to Adrichomius and Bellarmin - 26 years. At this time, three sects arose among the Jews: the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essenes. Secondary kings in Jerusalem: Aristobulus, the son of John Hyrcanus, was the first king of Babylon after the captivity, and at the same time a bishop for 1 year. Annius, also known as Alexander, the younger brother of Aristobulus, reigned for 27 years. He left behind two sons: Hyrcanus and Aristobulus. Alexandra, also called “Salomb,” wife of Annius Alexandra, reigned for 9 years after her husband’s death. After the death of his mother, Hyrcanus reigned for three months and was then expelled by his brother Aristobulus. Aristobulus, having expelled his elder brother Hyrcanus, reigned for 3 years. Alstead believes 5 years. Then the Roman governor Pompey came with military force, took the king of the Jews Aristobulus with his two sons Antigonus and Alexander and sent them to Rome; He conquered Jerusalem and subjugated all of Judea to the Roman king, making its inhabitants tributaries. He entrusted the power of Jerusalem to Aristobulus's elder brother Hyrcanus. For the second time, Hyrcanus took control of the kingdom of Judea, which was under Roman rule and was exhausted, and was a bishop, but no longer as an autocratic king, but as a subordinate tributary, serving Caesar for 22 years. Alexander, the youngest son of Aristobulus, having fled from the Romans, gathered military strength, expelled his uncle Hyrcanus from Jerusalem and reigned for 3 years. He was captured a second time by the Romans and put to death in Antioch. Antigonus, the eldest son of Aristobulus and brother of Alexander, was the last of the Maccabean line; reigned in Jerusalem for 4 years. According to Alstead and Function – 1 year When he was killed by Herod, Jewish power finally ceased and, in accordance with the prophecy of the holy patriarch Jacob (Gen. 49:10), the time of Christ's coming in the flesh approached. Herod was not a Jew by birth, but a foreigner, the son of Antipater the Edomite, and was called Ascalonite, for he was born in Ascalon, which in ancient times was a Philistine city; he received the kingdom of Judah and ruled for 34 years. During his reign the birth of Christ followed. Christmas coincided with the year of Herod's reign: the thirtieth, as Karion says; thirty-seventh, according to Adrihom, and according to Alstedius - thirty-eighth. We have shown how great the discrepancy is in the calculation of years according to the Bible and according to chronographs: how, with all this, is it possible to find the true number of years from Adam to the Nativity of Christ? And how can one find out for sure in what year what remarkable thing happened in the Middle Kingdom? With all this, in this chronicle I decided to adhere, without violating the ancient traditions, to the chronology established since ancient times, which is based not on Bibles, but on chronographs. Since I proposed to collect briefly the events that happened from the beginning of the world, but it turned out to be impossible to write by year, what exactly happened in each of them, and this is due to the disagreement and dissimilarity of chronographs with the Bible in chronology, then in view of this I decided to arrange the times by centuries and depict them on tables with the key of Paschal, compiled according to the letters of the Slavic alphabet, so that together with it the number of years of the world, calculated according to the ancient custom of the Eastern Church, it was most likely. For each century, I began to write histories of ancient deeds, so that, even if it is not indicated in which exact year a given event happened, they would know that it happened precisely in the century in which it is described. These tables of chronology with the Easter key also have the following as false witnesses of chronology: solar and lunar circles, according to the dispensation of the Creator from the beginning of the world and even to the present times and years, invariably taking place; and with them the “seventh calendar”, which shows Vrutseleto (Vrutseleto - “hand Paschal” (lit., summer in the hand), that is, an instruction so adapted to the joints of the human hand that the hand, with a small supply of information that needed to be kept in memory, could replace a book, and a glance at the knuckles helped to calculate for each year for Easter and other mobile holidays). Let it be known to the prudent reader that all countable years here begin not from September, but from March, in which this visible world was created by God. About this month of March, God Himself in the land of Egypt spoke to Moses and Aaron: “This month is the beginning of a month for you; your first will be in the months of summer” (Ex. 12:2). The Israelites learned to count years from the month of September in Egypt from idolaters who did not know God and knew nothing about the creation of the world or about the first man Adam. And then the Israelis had a double year - ecclesiastical and civil: the ecclesiastical year begins in March, and the civil year, like all Hellenes, begins in September. Because of this custom, God, condescending to them, established that the years of peace for the earth, the remission of debts and the release of captives should be counted from the month of September, as is written about in the 23rd chapter of the Book of Leviticus (Lev. 23:23-25). Just as much time later, Augustus, the Roman Caesar and idolater, established his calculation of years from September. But we, being church ministers, suggested counting and writing, “For the Lord to prosper” (Mk. 16, 20), church years and activities from March, and not from September. You might be interested in:
