[Google Translate Translations] [Zion Truth Point TSIYON.ORG] [Zion] [Represents] [Judaica and Christians in Babylon] [From] [Eliyahu ben David] [Voice of Eliyahu ben David] Our topic is "Judaica and Christians in Babylon." This is what happened in the second century. I think you will find this interesting. We have a chart that I put together, and if you would like a copy of this, just write to us on our website and we will send one along to you. Basically it charts out for you as timelines most of the information we discuss in these specific posts. Let's look at this, now I know you can't read all of this because it's pretty small, so I'm just trying to explain things to you. You see on the top blue timeline and it says Israel. Well, this is biblical Israel. We see that the Messiah was born in 2 BC, began his Ministry on 29, was sacrificed for us on 33 and then he shows James who was the leader of the church. The church is actually the assembly of the remnant of Israel. There was a period there, as you can see in this other diagram, which is a diagram of Judea and what was happening there. There was a period of spade, which went further. It was a time of division. What happened is what the Messiah did New Testament with those that followed Him, and any that entered into that New Testament, they were now part of the real Israel. So what about the ones that didn't come in? Well, even if they were a larger number, they were actually a schism that branches off from Messianic Israel, from the Pact of Israel. So we'll talk about what happened to them for a moment, but after that what we just want to see on the timeline is that Israel just continued. So the idea that Israel didn't reject and so forth, none of that is really true. Israel continued under the New Covenant. We have shown you in history how this continued to be true, it continued to be true under the leadership of Davidic into the fourth century. Well, basically, what happened with the great Jewish schism is that most of the people belonging to the various Jewish Sects did not believe in the Messiah, so this constituted their cause of schism or branching away from the true Israel. There was this period in which there was a clearing effort to help any of them to get back on track as perhaps many of them did not respond, many thousands in fact, and even some including the leaders did not respond, but many others did not done. Finally, all the things that Yeshua said could happen happened. It was revenge that he fell on the apostates. Before he fell, all the believing Israelites there in Judah, they left the area just before destruction came, having been saved from destruction through Yeshua's prophecy. So the destruction is where we're going to start today, which happened in 70 AD. prophecy the Messiah said about this, he said: “They will fall by the edge of the sword, and there will be captivity among all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the time of the Gentiles will be fulfilled.” Well, this is the starting point for this to happen, this is when in fact In fact, Jerusalem was trampled, it was destroyed at this time, the temple was destroyed, and this was the beginning of the period when "they", being the apostate Jews, would fall on the edge of the sword and be captured among the nations and trampled. We will see that this actually began with a vengeance, literally, during this early period. Well, we talked about what happened in the 70s, and that was basically the end of the whole Temple system. All this was destroyed, Jerusalem was destroyed, more than a million people were killed during the siege of Jerusalem. Many many others were led into captivity, everything that Yeshua said actually happened to these people. But this was not the end of the struggle between Jews and Romans. Many people have not heard of Kitos War. This is such an interesting uprising of the Jews against the Romans. This happened around 115 to 117. What actually happened was, of course, there were now more Jews scattered in different places than there actually were in Judea. So in these various places throughout the Roman Empire, there were revolts of the Jews. In these uprisings they destroyed large numbers of Romans and Greeks. Places listed are Cyrene, Libya, Cyprus, Egypt, Mesopotamia, as well as Judea. In different cities in all these places, we are told: "The Jews... waged war on the inhabitants of all Libya in the wildest fashion, and to such an extent was the country wasted that, its cultivators being killed, its land would remain completely depopulated, was not the Emporer Hadrian, who collected settlers from other places and sent them there, for the inhabitants were destroyed." So we see from this, according to historians, in these Jewish uprisings of the Kitos War, it was not only the military, the soldiers that the Jews rebelled against and killed. These are entire populations of people, farmers, you know? Just wiping people right off the ground. This had a great impact throughout the Roman Empire. The Roman historian says: "... the Jews were destroyed by both the Romans and the Greeks." And this is kind of Gross, but I want to read it so that you can understand what is happening, he said: "They will cook their meat, make belts for themselves their entrails, anoint themselves with their blood, and wear their skins. Many they sawed in two, from the head down. Others they would give to wild beasts and the strength still others to fight as gladiators. Two hundred and twenty thousand perished." . So according to this historian, these Jewish rebels were actually very cruel and barbaric in their actions and obviously they were filled with a vicious hatred of not only the Romans but the Greeks, and also in abusing them in this way. It goes further, he says: "For this reason no Jew can set foot on this land... various persons took part in the suppression of these Jews, one of whom was Lusius, who was sent by Trajan. "This whole event is interestingly rarely mentioned Today, I think people are afraid to talk about it because perhaps they are afraid that they will be accused of anti-Semitism and, of course, I'm not telling you about it for that reason. However, it is part of the historical record and if you are going to understand what happened in these first few centuries, you have to understand that these Jewish rebels behaved among the Greeks and Romans in the same way as we think of the ISIS (Islamic State) in Iraq and Syria) today. They were cruel, they did things that were simply unacceptable to the human conscious. So think about people in the West, for example, think about people like this. Terrorist kind of people and how it changes the concept that you have people from certain places because of this kind of action. You know the Jews were always really well thought of throughout the Roman Empire before. The temple was a very big draw, there were synagogues in every big city Greeks and Romans. There were many converts; it was all quite harmonious for quite some time. But in the Kitos War it kind of brought things to a clash of civilizations, if you will. The clash between the Greco-Roman civilization and the Hebrew civilization is not in a good way. So how can we explain this? Well the first thing we want to say about this is no, none of the followers of Yeshua, none of the Nazarene believers are involved in any of this. They did not participate in the First Roman War, they did not participate in this, they do not participate later. They were taken out of it completely. So these people who do this, they are completely apostates from true Israel. This is basically the straw that remains after the winnowing process. So what do you expect, but is actually the garbage left? That is, those people, these people who behaved like this. Well, let's continue. Further into the second century, 132 through 136, we have Bar Kochba, and I'm not going to go into this too deeply, there's a lot you could look up about this, it's sometimes called the Third Jewish-Roman War or the Third Jewish Revolt. This man was created by the rabbis to be the messiah of Israel, who was going to free the Jews and liberate Jerusalem. It didn't work that way, there was a big battle that cost the Romans a lot. General Julius Severus finally brought this rebellion to an end, and crushed the rebellion. As they felt at this time, this had been a drag now for decades, and the Romans had it. They just had enough of this fight with the Jews. So their attitude was, "We're just done with this, so we'll completely crush this right out of existence." This is basically the way they approached this particular war. When the war ended in the former sanctuary of the Temple, the emperor erected two statues, one of Jupiter, and the other of himself. He restored Jerusalem as a Roman pagan city with a new name, "Aelia Capotolina" and Jews were not allowed into the city. In an attempt to erase any memory of Judah or ancient Israel, he changed the name, erased its maps literally, replaced the name with Syria Palestine. It came into English as Palestine. So the name from the Romans is still used by many today. You can see how complete this really was, because the whole idea was to completely change the character of this land, to turn it into something completely pagan, completely Roman, in which the Jews could not function. So what happened, he says one by one the Roman historian, 580,000 Jews were killed in this war, 50 fortified cities, 985 villages were burned to the ground, many more Jews died of hunger and disease. Many more Jews were reduced to a small minority in Judea. I would like to add a small hated minority. Not only was the Torah banned, the Hebrew calendar was banned, and Jewish leaders and scholars were killed. I think one of the I think one of the main things that I highlighted here is, "After the revolt, the Jewish religious center shifted to the Babylonian Jewish community and its scholars." You see, this is very important because before that, until the year 70, and then finally leading before that there was a remnant of the Jewish type of Jewish worship. But the Romans now so completely put an end to Jewish worship in Judea that the Jewish religious center shifted to Babylon. All together there was a large community, the Jewish community, in Babylon. This has been the case since the Jews were deported to Babylon some 500 years earlier than this. So they continued, but up to this point they were dependent on the Jewish community, which was in Judea for leadership in the Jewish religion. But now all that has changed. We have this quotation, "Even after the War of Bar Cochba, the numerical center of gravity of the Jews shifted to Babylonia, and soon after the composition of the Mishnah in Palestine, Babylonia became a religious Center too... Reverence was shown in Judah now only to the extent of pious desire to be buried there." So this caused the dominion of Now Babylon. Now this is very important because the community of Babylonian Jews were essentially the descendants of Jews who did not return to Judah, who remained in Babylon when the remnant returned to Judah. Thus, they were the ones who felt comfortable in Babylon and thus, they were the ones actually more likely to assimilate Babylonian culture. In fact they did in many ways, for example the block of inscription that is used in Hebrew today was not original Hebrew. They are learning that the inscriptions are from Babylon when they were there in Babylon. The calendar, the Hebrew calendar, which is used today, and names for several months, is actually from the Babylonian calendar and is the same calendar. It was in Babylon that they began to celebrate their years with the month of Tishrei, which is in the fall instead of the first month, as it says in the Scriptures. This was the change they made. How about a month called Tammuz? They are still in this month today. Tammuz of course was a false Babylonian god. But they adopted this month and this month's name along with the rest of the calendar system. Well there was more that came out of Babylonia besides the calendar system when all this happened. That is, when calculating the calendar. You see, they were not allowed to still set the calendar as they always had for the observance of the Moon. So they took up this method of calculating the calendar so that the days do not fall exactly the same way and that is part of Judaism today. the Babylonian Talmud is something else that came from Babylon and the Babylonian Talmud, while it retains a lot of history, which is probably useful, there is also magic in there and there are a lot of rather hateful distortions towards the Messiah, His family, and those who follow Him. So I think you have to say that after the Bar Cochba War, when Babylonia came into dominance among the Jews, this actually introduced a period when, in a sense, they returned to captivity in Babylon. Adopting many of the same practices that once again the community in Babylon practiced all along and, of course, all of this continues throughout the centuries and is part of Judaism today and not only that, to the extent that Messianic believers follow these same practices , are they also not under the resettlement to Babylon? So this is an important question. Well, not only did it, in a sense, bring the unbelieving Jewish world into captivity in Babylon, but we have this quote. "Bar Kochba was one of the key events in differentiating Christianity as a religion distinct from Judaism. The Jews who believed Jesus as the Messiah did not support Bar Kochba, but they were driven away from Jerusalem along with the rebel Jews." Now let me emphasize that point. Those Jewish believers, known as Nazarenes, they don't support any of this that has happened. They were not connected with the rebellion against Rome at all, they were completely innocent. However, they were Jews, so they were bitumen with the same brush as any other Jew. I think this is very similar to what we see happening today with refugees from Syria. We have terrorist events happening and we see, and in some cases, it is very possible that the Terrorist comes along with the refugees. Then we have other people, no doubt that group of people who are completely innocent. Some of them are actually Christians fleeing persecution. But when they come to our land, how do we know? We don't know the difference between Christians, persecuted Muslims, and the terrorist who comes here to kill us. So what is the population's thought here about these refugees? You see, since we don't really understand them, we don't know their culture, we make anything about who they are that they don't know, come in, there's a lot of anxiety and that's a broad brush. That's all we're concerned about. I think you should rightfully say. Well, that's how it is here in the second century after the Bar Kochba war and these other wars. This is where the Roman world was. They saw a Jew, and they thought: “Well, are you here to kill me? Or are you good guy ? they did I don't know. So this is the position that our brothers who were followers of the Messiah were. You can imagine what a difficult situation that was for them, they were also hated in a way by the unbelieving Jews. So it was a difficult thing. So what this tells us is, it was at this time after this war and mainly in Rome that the rebellion ended once and for all, that this was one of the key Events that differentiated Christianity as opposed to Judaism. Now here's something to think about. This is 136 AD. and Christianity, until that time, was not yet distinguished from Judaism. Do you see how this goes right along with what we have been teaching about the Gentile Christian Church? The Gentile Christian Church did not exist even before this time. It was still the Nazarene movement. They are still considered a sect of Jews, a sect of Nazarenes. It was only after this series of wars with the Jews, when all this hatred was built against the Jews, that Christianity actually separated from this first Nazarene movement. What do you call it when there is a true movement and then others cease from it? That is, a split. That is, apostasy from the truth. That is, what is. This is the very moment in history where this happens. So where did Christianity begin? This is not with the apostles, it is here. I'm I'm going to show you more about this. Here though is our diagram again and we will be there to try and put it together for you. You see in the graph, we have around 135 AD, the Great Pagan Apostasy and this is when Greco-Roman Christianity began to emerge. It was precisely because this great hatred of the Jews actually made it possible, gave them a reason, to break away from the leadership, from the Hebrew leadership, that they had been under up to this time. Here's the guy who was the first to actually document this. His name was Justin Martyr. He was born in Neapolis in Judea. This is modern Nablus. He was a pagan, and he called himself a pagan. It is believed to have possibly descended from the Roman diplomatic community that was sent there. So what does this mean? Well that means he has very close ties to all these wars that happened, doesn't it? His family was on the side of the Romans in these wars so how would he feel about the Jews? Well there is more about him. He was an educated man, trained in all the major philosophical schools of the time with the pagan philosophies that were popular in the day. He went through a period of years studying these things. studying these various pagan philosophies. When in Syria, in other words, probably Judea, he happened upon a man who seemed to be a Syrian Nazarene. This man told him about the Messiah. Justin was moved by what he heard from this man about the Messiah, so he accepted his own version of the story of the Messiah. I'm telling his own version because I think he made the following appearance to tell us that he is still doing his own thing. Instead of becoming part of the Nazarite community, he adopted the dress of a philosopher. You know, these Greek philosophers have a certain way that they looked the same as we have in our culture, you can tell sort of different people by the way they dress. So he introduced himself as a philosopher, went around teaching a version of the Messiah that was woven into a lot of things, from philosophy, from Greek philosophy. Eventually he went to Rome, founded a school there, taught at that school until he was beheaded. a little bit more about this guy. He believed that the seeds of "true religion" preceded Christ but not among the Jews. This allowed him to claim many historical Greek philosophers, in whose work he was well studied, since he was ignorant of Christians. So, like you and I, we could quote one of the prophets, one of the apostles, he would do that too, but then he could very easily quote these various philosophers and then just weave that right into the presentation. So it was a mixture, that's what he does, how he mixed what was in Scripture along with what he learned in these schools of thought. Well, that's an interesting quote I think. One scholar "discovered" blemishes" in Justin's theology, which he attributed to the influence of pagan philosophers; "other scholars recognized that he was thoroughly Hellenic... in other words, he was entirely Greek through and through. They say, "because he was a pagan he didn't fully understand Old Testament the basis of Paul's teaching and therefore he changed the nature of his Paulism." So, in other words, because he didn't really understand the Old Testament, when he read Paul's Words, he interpreted it differently than what Paul meant because Paul was speaking from a Torah base. Now this is a really big thing because Justin was the first of the so-called "church fathers" to express ideas that were anti-Hebrew. He was against the Jews and of course that gave him license then accept a more Greek idea of ​​the Messiah. So in his writings, he will quote from the New Testament, he will quote Paul and from others, and he will use allegory, and he will interpret it according to his Greek understanding, so why do you think "Are Christians today so confused about Paul? The whole tradition started with him. He started writing this stuff, and it really set a certain pattern for the so-called "church fathers" after him about how they interpreted Paul, how they interpreted the New Testament, and so in fact we have many not only misinterpretations but miss-translations of the books of the New Testament, since they are interpreted and translated from the Greek point of view and not from the original Hebrew point of view that they were written from. Well is the effect of this, "As Christianity spread throughout the Hellenic world, an increasing number of church leaders were educated in Greek philosophy. The dominant philosophical traditions of the Greco-Roman world for a time were Stoicism, Platonism, and Epicureanism. Stoicism and especially Platonism was easily incorporated into Christian ethics and Christian theology." It is easy to see this as you look at the development of Christianity. You have things that clearly do equate to the New Testament, but then you have other methods of some of these church fathers. For example, some of them castrated themselves, and they did this seemingly to agree with Scripture to remove the lusts of the flesh and so on, but in fact, as you dig deeper you find out that these ideas actually originate among some of these Greek philosophers. There are other things like, actually hating women is part of some of these people. Looking at what happened to Eve and then blaming all women for what Eve did because, you see, the underlying reason is that they came from some of these schools of thought that don't look good on women. They brought their customs with them. Other types of things like celibacy and forced celibacy, changes in the organization of churches with an authoritarian bishop in the square of this kind, bringing it into harmony with the Greek and Roman thought instead of how things actually were were created in accordance with the Scriptures. Well that's even worse. The secrets of the mysteries were included in religion. You see, long before this, the mystery of the Babylonian religion penetrated throughout the Greek and Roman world, and in fact, there were many people who arose under these Babylonian religions who were accepted as slaves by the Romans. They were very fertile, the Romans were more aristocrats, they did not want to have many children. They were very similar to Western society today, where a lot of Western society people think "Well, 1 or 2 children is enough." But this Babylonian slaves brought, they had many children and for a certain period of time, they were actually all more people of this eastern heritage than the earlier native Roman population. So they all brought these Babylonian mystical religions with them. Of course, they did not remain slaves. You know, over time they were assimilated into the population and achieved success and in some cases were even part of the aristocracy and leadership. So this was all part of the unification that entered into early Christianity in the second century. Well, it was very contrary to what the Scripture says. Here from Jude 1: 3, he says: “contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints throughout all time.” What is faith that is once for all time delivered to the saints? Immediately many people say it is "Christianity", but it is not. This is a primitive Hebrew faith. It is easy to prove, even Paul himself writes about this in Romans, chapter 9, he says: "The Israelites; of whom is the establishment, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the services, the promises; of whom are the fathers, and from whom the Messiah" is faith , which is given once at a time! He could not resist, after that he reveals to the person all this buffet of paganism that is there. That is exactly what happened to Justin and those who followed in his footsteps. The reason this happened is, I think, quite easy for us to understand once we understand history. When we see what happened to the Jews and how they actually got hated by everyone throughout the Roman Empire you can kind of understand how Justin would then say, "Oh, it's from the Jews, I don't want that." Kind of this idea. Justin wrote a work called "Dialogue with Tryphon", which is his main polemic against Judaism. It is very interesting in that it is presented as a dialogue with a Jew during the Bar Kochba War who fled Jerusalem. So this is very close to the historical events we're talking about and obviously this was formative to Justin's ideas. In order to actually have a Jew who survived these wars as a person, what he speaks against. In this dialogue, we find Justin making a lot of figurative interpretations of Scripture rather than literal interpretations of what Scripture says, which he imposes is a Spiritual view on everything. This is very much in accordance with the Greek philosophers. This is what they do, they just have a lot of this kind of thing where they do spiritual these things, and he brought this into his view of Scripture in a conversation with this Tryphon, who is probably a fictitious man. "Justins' invective against Jews and Judaism entered the mainstream of Christian thought and became a sinister influence which contributed in no small part to the development of what is known as Christian anti-Semitism. "He was in fact the first Anti-Semitism Christian. All of the church fathers who followed him, they all had negative things to say about the Jews. So I think that as you look at it you can sort of look historically at what things are designed that way and you can understand why there was an aversion to the Jews because of what happened in the Jewish wars. You can understand why these Pagans who came in this Greek mixture of different types of paganism would react the way they did and how Justin turned out to be a man who crystallized this in such a way that then everyone could start quoting him, he could start rolling the ball for pagan Christianity. Here is some of what he had to say in dialogue with Tryphon, "For circumcision according to the flesh, which from Abraham, was given for a sign; that you may be separated from other countries, and from us; and that you alone may suffer what you now justly suffer; and that your land may be laid waste, and your cities burned with fire; and that strangers may eat your fruit in your presence, and not one of you may go to Jerusalem. ...Accordingly, these things happened to you in justice and fairness..." So that's his attitude. Again, you can understand it from the Roman's point of view and everything that happened. You can understand why he says "Well You get what you rightfully deserve" here. But in the process of saying that he is also saying: "Well, the Torah, which marked you as different, what was given to you so that we will know how bad you are." And so The Torah became something bad, it became a punishment. That is, how he saw it. Now here's something else that goes along with that about how he reduced the Torah to punish the Jews. He said: "God commanded you to keep the Sabbath , and impose upon you other covenants, "in other words, in the Torah." ... for a sign, on the account of your untruth, and of your fathers... "With these words, he is able to dismiss the authority of the Torah and do away with it completely. Here is More. He says: "We, too, will observe your Circumcision of the flesh, your Saturdays, and in a word, all your holidays, if we were not aware of the reason why they were introduced on you, namely, because of your sins and hardness of heart. "So, once again, saying: 'You Jews are you like that bad people that God did you do all these things, but we better so we shouldn't. "That was the attitude. Of course, it is not justified, because judging the words of a perfect God by the imperfections of His people is really a big mistake for him? If we applied the same thing to Christians, what should we say then about God, right? So this is not really a good argument. So what is the effect of this argument? Well, the Effect is to completely set aside the authority of the Torah and the Scriptures, and everything Hebrew. This means also to set aside the authority of the Nazarenes, the desposyni, the remnant of Israel. So It's like completely throwing off the power structure that YHWH had set up, that the Messiah himself was ruling again and now alone. It was actually a schism. Well, it was, unfortunately, not just Justin. As we see here, Ienaeus, who is the other important figure among Christians, we are told, was well acquainted with Justin's writings and begins from Justin in many of what he says. So, in other words, he picks up from what Justin said and he takes it further. As I say, Justin started the ball rolling, and then the other church fathers just pushed it further and further. Now let's see, for example, in the next century in "The Origin of Alexandria", this is what he had to say. "Thus, it can be stated with complete confidence that the Jews will not return to their earlier situation, for they have committed the most heinous crimes in committing this conspiracy against the Savior of the human race... hence the city where Jesus suffered was sure to be destroyed, the Jewish people were expelled from their country, and another people were called by the God of the Bright Election." So how long have Christians thought that? For a very long time and it started with these early church fathers. You will notice that they completely ignore the fact that there is still a remnant of Israel called the Nazarenes who follow the Messiah. They completely ignore these people even exist. They paint all Jews with the same brush; they are all murderers of Christ. Is this true? Of course, this is not correct. Not only did the Jews who lived in this generation not kill Christ, did they? They were no, they weren't part of it. Can you hate all these individual Jews because of something that happened now, almost 200 years ago? But that's what you find among these early church fathers. Well moving forward into the next century, that's how bad it turned out. This is Chrysostom, "A synagogue is worse than a brothel... a refuge for robbers and debauchees, and a den of devils. It is a criminal meeting of Jews... a meeting place for the murderers of Christ... a house worse than a drinking store... a den of thieves, a house with of ill repute, a habitation of iniquity, a haunt of devils, an abyss and an abyss of destruction...I would say the same things about my souls...As for me, I hate the synagogue...I hate the Jews for the same reason. "So this has largely become the general attitude of pagan Christians. Now that they say it's about the Jews, do they forget that the Romans stuck the sword towards Yeshua? And I'm sure it wasn't the Hebrew cross that He was nailed to. Was it not a Roman cross? So you see they were clinging to Rome, but they attacked the Jews. This doesn't seem like a reasonable accusation when you look at what actually happened. So it was a development that happened, and it happened very quickly. You know, after Justin the change is significant that you will find. The way you look at it you see the roots of everything you see in Christianity today. You know, all this, then misleading Paul, in distorting the history of Christianity, as if he went all the way back to the apostles, which he did not. Spiritualization of the literal truths of Scripture, over and over again, and then you have all this inclusion of all this Greek stuff, all this paganism and philosophy and you see a lot of the same stuff. Well here is a very important part of the development of the Christian Church in "Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes" he says: "The tradition that Peter and Paul were put to death at the hands of Nero in Rome about the year 64 A.D. was generally accepted in the second year century, and by the end of this century, pilgrims to Rome were shown the trophies of the apostles, their graves... But at all of this the New Testament is silent. Later legend would fill in the details of Peter's life and death in Rome... "They need some way to sanctify Rome and I think it's difficult. But they did it by coming up with this myth that Peter and Paul were killed there in Rome and that the church started in Rome and that Peter had the keys to the Kingdom and passed those down and so on, and made Rome the leader. He continues: “These stories were to be accepted into sober history by some of the greatest minds of the early Church - Origin, Ambrose, Augustine. But they are pious romance, not history, and the fact that we have no reliable accounts of either Peter's later life or manner, or place of his death. ..everything indicates that there is not a single bishop in Rome for almost a century after the death of the apostles." So in another Word, this whole story is a lie, and yet it was propagated by what is called here, "O greatest minds of the early Church, some of the greatest were the so-called "Church Fathers". Are we the fathers of the church? Why do they call them church fathers? You know why? Because they are the fathers of the church. This is the reason. You know what kind of mystifying term it isn't? Fathers of the Church. If there has been a Christian Church in fact since Apostolic times, then who would the Church Fathers be? It would be the apostles. So the very fact that they claim these people, as the church fathers have to tell you, these are the people who actually gave birth to Christianity, and not the apostles. Well there are other things here. I don't know how well you can see these photos, but on the left side you have Sol Invictus, the Roman sun god. Notice around his head there are rays of light and a halo, and then on the other side you have Mithras the sun god. Notice the rays of light around his head and the halo around his head. In the middle pit, did you recognize him? That is, the Roman "Jesus". I think that if you were a fan of Sol Invictus, it would be very easy to just change his name to Jesus and continue doing what you have been doing all along, wouldn't it? Or Mithra, depending on the circumstances maybe. Moreover, by coincidence, they were all born on December twenty-fifth. "The changes in the church over the first four centuries were subtle, but the general theme was: - ... sun worship." That's why Christians. worship on... what day? Sunday! Have you ever heard of the Easter sunrise service? What about Easter? The name is the name of a false god. Bunnies, how about bunnies? Lillies. What do you think comes from? What about eggs? Symbol of fertility? Do you think that the Virgin Mary had some eggs around on Sunday morning, and that's where it came from? All of this originated from paganism and continues today, and for the worse, the knowledge of these things is freely known. You can loo it in the encyclopedia and does anyone actually care? A little. In the book "The Search for Early Christianity" he says it is, "How did this massive apostasy from His teachings take place that occurred to a group of labeled Jewish Christians?" Now I really like the way he says that. Because he talks about them, he says, "They are labeled Jewish Christians." Do you know that? In every Christian History book I have ever seen, they talk about a people who are clearly called Nazarenes. In Scripture and in history, they call them "Jewish Christians" and they take their name "Christian" and just expand it back, and that's a lie. They were never “Jewish Christians,” they were “Messianic Jews.” Which is a completely different matter. They were still Messianic Jews after the pagan Christians worshiped the Sun God. Does this make me crazy? Yes, it does. "As amazing as it may seem, the religion of the world known as Christianity was not founded by Jesus Christ. Now, how difficult is it really to find out? "Can you imagine Yeshua doing these pagan rites of Christianity? Do you think you could do this? Unlike Justin, Yeshua held the Torah. He wouldn't do that. “For three hundred years, this religion became a cast organization of clergy presiding over rites taken from pagan mysteries and borrowing the best elements of Greek philosophy and forming a dogma appealing to human reason and emotion. This religious organization came to be a powerful political force in the Roman Empire." That is, the Christian Church. Well, how did this happen? How did they become such a powerful force, a political force? Well, everything was done with Constantine, Emperor Constantine. "The accession of Constantine became a turning point point to early Christianity. "Now you have to understand that they worked out all this that I'm talking about so that at the point right now where, when Constantine came along, they were all ready for what he had in mind."... In 313 , Constantine issued the Edict of Milan decriminalizing Christian worship. "They went through a period of persecution and so Constantine was a bit of a hero in achieving this goal towards the end. He then became a great patron of the Christian Church; in fact this tells us that he set a precedent for the position of the Christian Emperor in the Church. Only the problem he was not a Christian. So he was a pagan emperor, but he essentially set himself up as emperor of the church. What it turned out to be. I might add, the bishops, the leadership, went along with it. It goes on, "... Picture the concept of orthodoxy, Christianity, the ecumenical councils and the state church of the Roman Empire are declared in the decree of 380. “So all this is, as a rule, towards this end the solidification of it all into one big institution, one big state church. "In 325, Constantine called the First Council of Nicaea, effectively the First Ecumenical Council. The Council of Nicaea is the first major attempt by Christians to define orthodoxy for the entire Church. "Thus, under Constantine, in his desire to consolidate his empire and bring harmony between the various religious elements, he had this large gathering, and he wanted the Christians to be easier to control in this way by basically crystallizing their leadership under his control, then he was able to maintain leadership in his empire. The unity between these different groups, and this is clearly the reason why you see this about Christianity, that they adopted Christmas for example, on the birthday of their other gods. They accepted many things just like these other gods, and that is Constantine's effort here. Taking elements from things that have already been done, bringing it all together to merge all religions together under Christianity. If this doesn't foreshadow what's about to happen here on planet Earth, I don't know what will. This is exactly what will happen under Babylon the Great and we are getting closer to it. Everything is laid down and it’s all a matter of tolerance, right? We put up with you, you put up with us, and we just roll it all together into one big thing, and that's what Constantine did, that's how the Christian church crystallized into an institution. "Shortly before his death in May 337, Constantine was baptized. "So he did all this; he was never a Christian until shortly before his death. So how do Christians feel that this was okay? How is it that it is good for Christians to have, as their ultimate leader, a pagan and let him dictate what they are going to do? I think they were better when they killed in the arena. I think they were much better when they were burned on crosses. What this represents is a complete surrender to the Romans. You know, sometimes if you can't get what you want with a stick you use a carrot. This is basically what Constantine did and his success was monumental for the kingdom of darkness. Before this happened, before the Council of Nicaea, just a few years ago, according to the Irish priest Malachy Martin, someone who had access to Vatican documents that you and I would never have seen, he wrote in the "decline and the fall of the Roman Church" He says: "A meeting took place between Sylvester, who was the Bishop of Rome, and the Jewish Christian Leaders." This is in 318, the oldest of them he calls them "Christian Jews" they were Nazarenes. "... Spoke on behalf of Desposyni" He tells us who Desposyini is, and I am not including everything that is here, I couldn't fit it all into my schedule. Now I talked about this in an earlier presentation, about the Desposyni and who they are, they are relatives of Yeshua the Messiah, His family. These descendants of David and they have in fact brought the assembly substantially down to the time of Justin. Malachi Martin admits that in part of his book. Now he speaks of his demands, he says: "Desposyni demanded that Sylvester, who now had Roman patronage, revoke his confirmation of the powers of the Greek Christian bishops in Jerusalem, in Antioch, in Ephesus, and in Alexandria, and the name of desposynos bishops take their place ". Thus, he tells them, then desposyni should be those, as they were in the past, who are leaders. He also says that they asked the practice of sending funds to Jerusalem as the mother church to be resumed. That they would receive support from leading believers. But he says: "These blood relatives of Christ demanded the reintroduction of the law, which included the Sabbath and Holy Day system of the banquet and the new moons of the Bible." What are they really saying to this man, Sylvester, this bishop? To me it sounds like what was happening is that they were reproaching him. They told him "You are on the wrong path, if you want to get on the right path, this is what you need to do." They didn't look at compromising with evil, they said "Do the right thing, and that's exactly what this thing." Sylvester dismissed their claims, "Isn't it a big surprise? "... And he said that from now on, the mother church was in Rome and he insisted that they accept the Greek bishops... This was the last known dialogue with the church to maintain the Sabbath in the east, led by the disciples who came from blood relatives of Jesus the Messiah." Well, what Malachi Martin doesn't say here is what happened after that. What happened after this, the Roman Church considered these people to be the most dangerous people to their peace Because these were the people who actually have the power to bring believers. So they were hunted down, they were hunted down, they were driven out, into obscurity, driven underground, and they were very difficult to find after this particular meeting. So what have we got now? Well, we're back to our scale. We see what happened. We have Israel at the top, Israel chronology and note that it is still straight forward. Yes, there are some changes, the Messiah came, there was a New Testament. He replaced Davidic leadership with a Davidic covenant and there are still Davidic Leaders as we have seen all the way to 318 and beyond. This was in place the entire time of the other events we are talking about. We saw Judaism tearing apart true Israel as a schism and how everything that Messiah Said would happen to them happened. They had these Jewish wars, they ended up being completely exterminated, they ended up being scattered all over the earth. Jerusalem was trampled underfoot by the pagans from those times ahead, and this is exactly what happened. Everything the Messiah said. We see the effect of those Roman wars that finally occurred, culminating in the second century around the middle of the second century with the pagan believers. By now there were many other non-Jews who claimed to believe in Christ. They wanted to follow Him, but many of them did not want to leave all Greek customs. You know, it's so interesting when you read Paul, writing to the Corinthians for example, he created these congregations and he fights with them to get them to walk in the truth. He fights against all their pagan practices. He is an apostle. So it's not a big surprise really that finally, in the second century, the pagans broke away completely. This is what happened, this is the true beginning of the Christian church. This is what you see as you will follow this time outline together. You can see how the events of the story come together to make this happen. You will also see that Israel has never changed. Israel is in the New Covenant with Yeshua the Messiah, Davidic leadership was set up over Israel, and here's the deal, YHWH has one plan. People can try to change his plan, that's what the Christian church has to do, even trying to rewrite history by saying, "No, we're real," when in fact what they are is a schismatic group, a sect that has separated from the real followers of the Messiah , trying to lay claim to this apostolic background. It goes not belongs to them and YHWH knows that. The Messiah knows that and the hope that so many of them are thinking that they are part of the church, that they will be raptured away to be with the Messiah, that the church will be raptured away, and saved thus these terrible Jews can be solved. Well, guess what? None of this is going to happen. If you are a Christian and you are living your normal life, you are going to go through the Great Tribulation. Are you ready for this? Apostasy of Constantine, Apostasy: "The fatal period when Emperor Constantine called himself a Christian; From this time onwards - Christians had no more of the Spirit of Christ than the pagans... "Do you know who said that? John Wesley, a very famous Christian. You know, many Protestants, they want to divorce themselves from the mistakes of the Catholic Church, excesses of the Catholic Church, from Constantine onwards. I don't blame them for wanting to do this, but in doing so, they completely overlook all the paganism that came into the church before Constantine. They themselves still practice it. They do Christmas, they do Easter, they have accepted all of these ideas of Justin about the apostle Paul, about the New Testament. They have all the spiritualization of this biblical prophecy. They have all the things that Justin did. In fact, they look back to him and the other fathers church for direction. They are not from apostasy just because they freely disavow Constantine. He didn't start with Constantine, he crystallized with Constantine, that's what actually happened. In another book, "Ancient and Medieval Modern Christianity", he says : "Christianity... began with very simple practices, all taken from Judaism... then they were strengthened, and gestures familiar to were added by the pagans. It is sometimes very difficult to say exactly from which pagan rite the particular Christian rite originates, but it remains certain that the spirit of pagan rites became gradually infused with Christianity, to such an extent that eventually the whole IT- can be found to spread through its whole rites." In fact, in many Christian churches, when you go to this Christian church and you look around, is there anything like what you read in the New Testament? You see people wearing these special clothes and saying these special types of prayers and so on, maybe maybe even in a foreign language. You see these sacred objects they have and in some cases you have idols right in the church. Can you imagine such a thing among the apostles of Yeshua the Messiah? Where did all this come from? Where did everything come from? will it come from? Well, it tells us that it all came from paganism and most of it came during this period we are talking about. When you look at all this, it is no wonder that Rome is often called Babylon. Augustine said this in his famous “City of God,” “To be brief, the city of Rome was founded as another Babylon, and as if the daughter of the former Babylon, with whom God was pleased to conquer the whole world, and possess her far and wide, bringing it into one communication of the government and its laws. "Now here's the interesting thing about Augustine, you know, you would think if someone says, 'Well Rome is Babylon,' they think that's bad, right? No, that's not what he thinks. 'City of God.' Rome. He says that God used Rome to consolidate His Kingdom. He speaks of Rome and Babylon in a positive light. This is what the thinking was. The modern day cardinal "The Faith of Our Fathers" said: "The penetration of the religion of Babylon has become so general and good known that Rome was called New Babylon "This is true. In Jewish literature also calls Rome Babylon and Peter talks about Babylon and many people think that he is actually talking about Rome. The Book of Revelation talks about Babylon. I believe that it says people of our day. In the book of Revelation, Revelation 17 goes on quite broadly to identify Babylon the great tribulation period and there are many identifiers that track closely with Rome. One of the things is that it is located on seven hills, just like Rome is located on seven hills. There are other things there and after laying out all this information he says: “The angel wept with a loud voice, saying: “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and it has become a habitation of demons, a haven for every unclean spirit, and a haven for every unclean and loathsome bird!” “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: “Get out from her, my people, that you will not share in her sins, and that you will not suffer her plagues; for her sins you have reached heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” There are advantages for understanding history. One of these advantages is the ability to identify Babylon the Great. Because there will be a great punishment that will be on Babylon, as, undoubtedly, as the vengeance of God fell on first century Judaism. It will come, and it is at least deserved, I think , which is even more deserved. We live in a time when we must answer this call to come out of Babylon. Now he says, “My people.” Those who are not His people, they are not going to come out. Nothing. no you can tell them that there is nothing you can do, you can't drag them with a team of horses. They don't come because they like it there. But there are those people that He calls: "My people" and they captives in Babylon, and this is what we read about Captivity in Babylon, this is how Christianity became a hostage to Babylon. They turned away from the guidance that God had given them, they turned away from His Torah, which is the standard of righteousness, the way to live, and he opened them up to all of these influences that very soon brought them to this place where they were captives, literally, Babylon. There are many people who are in many ways good believers who remained captives in Babylon. Their minds their hearts, are captives of these Babylonian practices. The time has come, if you are one of those people, you need to get out there before the roof falls in because it's going to happen. Don’t think, don’t buy this argument that somehow you are too good for this to happen to you. This is what will happen to Christian Friends Church. He is not going to be lifted away, he will crystallize into Babylon the Great, and he will be destroyed. This is what will happen to the Christian church. Don't be in it when anything happens. This is important for us, for this whole story. I hope you were blessed by her.

Readers' Choice:

The turbulent 20th century gave birth to two of the most destructive wars in human history and a global redivision of the world. In the context of world history, this was just another clash of world powers, but the events caused the emergence of the so-called lost generation and colossal human losses. One cannot fail to mention the Cold War with former allies and many local conflicts.

A revolution thundered in Russia, putting an end to the monarchy, and a young Soviet state was formed, which did not live to see the end of the century. The end of the century became a time of globalization and widespread computerization. Such a huge number of events of a very different nature added many new names to history.

Time magazine's Man of the Century

The 20th century list was published by American Time magazine in its December 1999 issue. Of the hundred chosen, Albert Einstein became the man of the century. This decision was justified by the fact that the twentieth century, according to the editors of the magazine, will be remembered primarily for technology and science. Einstein serves as an example for all outstanding scientists whose work is based on his discoveries.

The magazine's cover featured the famous photograph of Albert Einstein, taken during a photo shoot in which the scientist told the photographer of his despair at the theory of relativity guiding the US government's development of the atomic bomb.

Among the list's compilers, there was some discussion about Adolf Hitler, the Führer responsible for World War II and the Nazi persecution of the Jews, being named Man of the Century for his influence on the twentieth century. The magazine's requirements for candidates included the fact that the chosen person had to have a huge impact on the century, but it didn't matter what it was - good or bad.

As a result, everyone decided not to put Hitler’s image on the cover of the issue. But there was an article by journalist G. Gibbs “Justified Evil?”, in which she argued in favor of the fact that the Fuhrer simply turned out to be the last in a chain of “bloodthirsty individuals” leading back to Genghis Khan.

Political leaders and revolutionaries

Among the famous people of the 20th century we can list Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Theodore Roosevelt, Lech Walesa, Pope John Paul II, Winston Churchill, Mao Zedong, Franklin Roosevelt, Nelson Mandela, Ronald Reagan, David Ben-Gurion, Ho Chi Minh, Michael Sergeevich Gorbachev, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Adolf Hitler, Imam Khomeini. All these people were national, political or social leaders, leaders of revolutionary movements.

Time magazine highlighted Vladimir Lenin and Mikhail Gorbachev in its list of famous people of the 20th century. From the point of view of his supporters, Vladimir Lenin devoted his life to the struggle for the liberation of workers and peasants from capitalist oppression. This is a prominent political figure, ideologist of communism and founder of the Soviet state.

Mikhail Gorbachev became the first and last (that is, the only) president of the USSR who initiated perestroika - the reform of the entire political system, the result of which was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the beginning of the history of modern Russia. Acceleration, glasnost, the end of the Cold War and the beginning of private enterprise - all this is connected with the reign of Mikhail Sergeevich.

Outstanding scientists and thinkers

Among the famous people of the 20th century, one cannot fail to mention thinkers, philosophers and outstanding scientists. Among them we can list Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Jonas Salk, William Bradford Shockley, the Wright brothers, Lewis, Mary and Richard Leakey, Sir Alexander Fleming, Leo Hendrik Baekeland, Sir Tim Bernes-Lee.

Alexander Feming proved that this mold causes the complete death of pathogenic bacteria. In 1953, Francis Crick and James Watts discovered the structure of the new DNA helix, and Rutherford hypothesized the structure of the smallest unit of matter and was the first to extract energy from the nuclei of atoms.

Celebrities include Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin, Pablo Picasso, Frank Sinatra, Igor Stravinsky, Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey.

Interestingly, Time magazine included the cartoon character Bart Simpson in its list of famous people of the 20th century.

• Albert Einstein - Everything in the world is relative

Albert Einstein, one of the founders of theoretical physics, a Nobel Prize laureate, and a public figure, made a strange impression on his contemporaries: he dressed casually, loved sweaters, did not comb his hair, could stick his tongue out at a photographer, and generally did God knows what. But behind this frivolous appearance hid a paradoxical scientist-thinker, the author of over 600 works on different topics. His theory of relativity revolutionized science. It turned out that the world not so simple. Space-time is curved, and as a result, gravity, the passage of time, Sun rays deviate from the straight direction.

• Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill - Outstanding British politician

Since the childhood of Winston Churchill, British statesman, the country's prime minister, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 1953, was distinguished by stubbornness and self-will.

He went down in the history of northern scientific expeditions as the man who was the first to visit both poles of the Earth.

• Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin) - Practitioner of building communism

Vladimir Ilyich Lenin is the most famous political figure of the 20th century. For over 70 years in the Soviet Union, he was considered an unsurpassed genius, who set the goal of building communism in Russia, which presupposed the presence of highly developed productive forces, the absence of division into social classes and the abolition of the state, in which there should have been no money and the principle of “from each abilities - to each according to his needs." In 1920, in his speech “Tasks of Youth Unions*, Lenin argued that communism would be built in the 1930s-1950s. In 1917, Lenin took on the impossible task of making backward agrarian Russia socialist, and then communist. He dreamed that workers would receive everything according to their needs. The idea turned out to be untenable. True, after Lenin the country gradually switched to the industrial path of development. Communism was not achieved, but at the cost of enormous efforts, including millions of human casualties, the USSR moved closer to the forefront on the world stage.

And 2 years later, the brothers flew on an airplane of their own design with a motor. Their main merit was that, while experimenting on the ground in a wind tunnel, they discovered the so-called three axes of rotation of the aircraft - longitudinal, transverse and vertical, which ensured balance during flight. This was the fundamental difference between their devices and those that were being designed at that time.

The last century of the second millennium can safely be called revolutionary. It was a time of serious shifts in people's worldviews, a time of breakthroughs in medicine and science. It is difficult to disagree with the fact that the 20th century seriously influenced our lives, the world that we see now. And yet, who is the most famous person of the 20th century?

It is impossible to give an exact answer to this question. The most brilliant people of the 20th century can be called Adolf Hitler, Coco Chanel or Albert Einstein. But first things first.

This student was Albert Einstein

Yes, it was this scientist who was officially recognized as the most famous person of the 20th century. His discoveries in mathematics, physics and many other sciences gave an excellent start to today's technologies. Consider the Theory of Relativity or the invention of the Bose-Einstein condensate. In total, Einstein wrote more than three hundred scientific papers and almost two hundred scientific books.

It is interesting that in his early childhood Albert did not express his abilities in any way. Many people doubted that he would be able to lead a full life, and his mother even considered her son a freak because his head was too big.

At school, the future scientist showed himself to be a very lazy, withdrawn and incapable of anything child. His peers loved to laugh at him, and his teachers believed that nothing good would ever come of Einstein. By the way, Albert never completed his studies at that same gymnasium and did not receive a certificate, assuring his parents that he could easily enter the Higher Technical School in Zurich. But his plan failed.

However, on the second attempt the admission was successful. But even there, Albert did not show himself to be a brilliant student: he skipped classes in local cafes, reading scientific journals. But after he received his diploma and got a job as an expert at the patent office, he assessed specifications in just 10 minutes, devoting the rest of the time to your own theories.

The scientist had a unique skill in finding an extraordinary approach to a problem. Albert Einstein knew how to see problems from completely different angles and selected the most unexpected solutions to them. And when he failed at something, the solution to the problem popped up in his head after playing the violin.

The face of World War II

Germany's most famous dictator, the man who unleashed the Second World War and who destroyed the lives of millions of people, Adolf Hitler, has the right to be called a man of the 20th century.

Hitler did not have any special origin. His father was a customs officer and an illegitimate child, his mother was a simple peasant woman.

Adolf did poorly at school and, like Albert Einstein, did not graduate and did not receive a certificate. He tried to enter the Academy of Arts in Vienna, but twice his attempts failed due to his outstanding abilities. And after the death of his mother, Adolf decided to make a living as an artist without proper education. For almost 5 years he lived from hand to mouth, working part-time either as a designer of advertisements or postcards, or as a street artist.

Back in 1913, Hitler decides to flee to Munich to escape compulsory conscription into the army. However, a year later he still goes to the medical examination, but receives a certificate of unfitness. Interestingly, during the First World War, Adolf was suddenly drawn into the army, and he enlisted in an infantry regiment.

The service radically changed his outlook on life, turning him into a real nationalist. He achieved the rank of corporal and received awards four times. And after the war he joined the German Workers' Party to devote himself to promoting nationalism.

Adolf Hitler's finest hour came after 9 years of work in the party, during the global economic crisis. His party took a leading position in Germany, and Hitler himself was appointed Reich Chancellor in 1933. Thus began his career as a dictator.

By the way, Adolf Hitler married Eva Braun on the penultimate day of his life. The next day, the newlyweds committed suicide, but Hitler's body was never fully identified.

Time of revolution in the world of fashion

At the end of the summer of 1883, perhaps the most famous person of the century was born - Coco Chanel, a revolutionary in the world of fashion, inventor of the little black dress and a real rebel.

Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel hated her own name and biography. She rewrote her life again, adding three sweet aunts, a caring father and a new nickname, at the same time reducing her age by almost 10 years. In fact, Gabrielle lost her mother at an early age and grew up in an orphanage, and her last meeting with her father took place when she was 12 years old. In her youth, the future trendsetter often sang only two songs in taverns: “Ko Ko Ri Ko” and “Qui Qua Vu Coco.” This is how her new name was born, which the whole world later knew.

The nuns at the orphanage taught her how to sew, but this was not enough to revolutionize the fashion world. Coco Chanel gathered all her audacity and created women's suits from the jersey material, which until then was worn exclusively by men. This is how women felt truly free: trousers gave them comfort and freedom.

Coco later said that it was time for women to stop wearing the perfume they are given and choose the scent themselves. This is how the legendary women's perfume Chanel No.5 was born. And even the design of the bottle challenged patriarchal principles: black, flat and smooth, it was painfully reminiscent of a man’s bottle. Another challenge was that Chanel No.5 was not a mono-perfume, but in those days ladies had the right to use perfumes consisting of only one scent (lilac, lily of the valley, rose). Chanel's perfume consisted of more than 80 ingredients, thereby overthrowing mono-perfumes. Chanel No.5 remains at the peak of popularity to this day.

In addition, Chanel answered the eternal woman’s question: “What to wear?” I found a luxurious answer: a little black dress - clothes for any occasion in life. Some time later, Vogue magazine wrote that the popularity of the little black dress can be compared to a Ford car.

Coco Chanel managed to prove to the world that a woman is not an accessory, not an incubator and not a helpless creature. A woman is a person who is able to provide for herself with her intelligence, talent and cunning. Chanel made all women and girls believe in themselves and their independence. And for this she can rightfully be considered a person of the 20th century.

Animation genius

It would be an insult not to mention Walter Disney among the most famous people of the 20th century. He was born in Chicago in 1901. During his school years he was interested in painting, and later joined the Red Cross organization and worked as an ambulance driver abroad for a year. He didn't like the camouflage paint on his car, so Walter decorated it with various designs.

After the end of the war, he returned to Kansas City and got a job as an artist in an advertising agency. It was there that he came up with his first animated film back in 1920. Three years later, Disney leaves for Hollywood with a couple of drawings, his film and 40 dollars. There he met his brother. Together they borrowed a small amount of money and built a film camera stand right in their uncle's garage. Very soon they received their first order for cartoons.

The start was very successful, but there was only enough money to pay off debts. And the situation has not improved over the years. The company was always one step away from bankruptcy, and Walt Disney always managed to save it. During this difficult period, he comes up with Mickey Mouse, who literally gives Walt Disney immortality and fame. And in 1934, Walt decides to take a risk and create a feature-length film, realizing what this could entail. All fears were confirmed: “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” ruins the company, but brings stunning success and an Oscar.
The studio is slowly emerging from its long crisis. The “golden age” for animation begins. One after another, Walt Disney creates masterpieces: Pinocchio (1940), Bambi (1942), Peter Pan (1953). In total, the author received more than 20 Oscars, 5 Golden Globes and two stars on the Walk of Fame. Walt Disney implemented another brilliant idea - he created Disneyland, which became the most famous amusement park in the world.

We can safely say that with the death of this famous person An entire era has died. Walt Disney is a true legend, an example of optimism, imagination and living proof that man can create amazing things.

The most authoritative person

In terms of fame, only Adolf Hitler can compete with Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. The contribution that Stalin, a famous person of the 20th century, made to history is undeniable.

Joseph Stalin did not fully graduate from the Gori Theological School - close communication with Marxists prevented him. Throughout his youth, he helped with the organization of the October Revolution, carried out many orders from the government, joined various parties (the Council of Workers' and Peasants' Defense, the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic and many others), and was the organizer of the anti-Hitler coalition.

He was a brilliant military leader: he had all the information about operations, led the fronts on top level, was well versed in even the most subtle issues. And Stalin was helped in this by his innate inquisitive mind and intuition. He could always find the weakest link in the enemy’s armor and put pressure on this very place, preventing Hitler from carrying out this or that operation. Without a doubt, he was the best military leader.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War his authority became undeniable. Stalin was respected by many leaders of Western countries: Charles De Gaulle, Roosevelt, Winston Churchill wrote letters of praise to Joseph. The complete defeat of fascism and victory in World War II made the USSR a superpower, and Joseph Stalin the most authoritative leader of the 20th century.

Of course, this is only a small part of the famous personalities of the 20th century. And it will take more than one week to study all the people who changed the human worldview, gave impetus to technology, and made discoveries in science. After all, the 20th century is a century of great discoveries and changes.
