Excerpt:
Church history is the study of past events, councils, and crises
pertaining to the Church. We learn about historical events from
multiple resources and perspectives.
For example, we learn about the birth of the early Church from
the book of Acts.
We can learn about the persecuted Church from Roman records -
the writings of
historians such as Josephus as well as the writings of early
Church fathers such as
Ignatius of Antioch.

About the year 482, Justinian was born to peasants in what is
today, North
Macedonia. His Uncle Justin, who was a peasant soldier, adopted
Justinian at an early age, brought him to Constantinople, and
ensured he received a great education there. Justinian then
served as an advisor to Uncle Justin, who rose quickly through
the ranks.

✝️📚 The Decapolis area of ten towns, where
a Demon(s) Possessed man became Christ's First Apostle to the
Gentiles.
DIR By: AGelbert
Date: July 19, 2024, 12:22 pm

[glow=teal,2,300]📚 ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE ✝️
BIBLE – DECAPOLIS[/glow]
SNIPPETS:
DECAPOLIS dĭ kăp’ ə lĭs
(Δεκάπολις,
G1279). The Decapolis, as its name implies (Gr. deka: “ten,”
polis: “city”), was, in NT times, the area of the ten towns. In
such significance the term occurs in Matthew (4:25), Mark (5:20;
7:31), Pliny (Natural History V. 16, 17) and Josephus (War III.
ix. 7). Its original meaning may have been political rather than
geographical, signifying the league of ten towns that prob. took
shape in the period between Herod’s domination of the area and
Rome’s stabilization of the eastern frontier in the early days
of imperial rule. The area E of the Jordan and Galilee, where
nine of the ten allied communities were located, was exposed to
the open and unpacified desert, and a military alliance was
sound policy for a group of predominantly Gr. cities, which in
characteristic Gr. fashion set some value on autonomy and
political independence. ... ...
[center]
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-190724162013.jpeg[/center]
Of chief interest to the student of the NT is the impact of the
Decapolis on Galilee. “The Decapolis,” writes Smith (op. cit. p.
607), “was flourishing at the time of Christ’s ministry. Gadara,
with her temples and her amphitheatres, with her art, her games
and her literature, overhung the Lake of Galilee, and the
voyages of its fishermen.” Across the lake, five to eight m.
wide, the farmers of Galilee could see a Gentile world. That
world had a bridgehead in their territory at Scythopolis; and
the roads, converging on that center and radiating thence must
have exercised an attraction on many Jews. Perhaps the story of
the Prodigal illustrates the fact with the “far country” remote
only in outlook and way of life. Swine, a Gentile food, was
among the farmstock of the Gadarene territory, and the wanderer
of the story, trapped and ruined by an alien society, may have
been no more than a hard day’s journey from home. Contact
between the two areas was separated only by the tenuous barrier
of the river and the lake. Large crowds from the Decapolis
followed Christ at an early period of His ministry (Matt 4:25).
He visited the area when He returned from Tyre and Sidon,
reaching the eastern shore of the lake through Hippos. The
healed lunatic of Gadara, the first “apostle to the Gentiles,”
was sent to proclaim his blessing there (Mark 5:20). The
multitudes of the later visit (8:1) were the fruit of this
witness. ... ...
Whereas it is on record that two of the Decapolis cities, Hippos
and Gadara, were given by Augustus to Herod, it it possible that
the League as a defensive unit, did not emerge until after
Herod’s death in 4 b.c., but it is as probable that it took
shape sixty years earlier—as part of Pompey’s reorganization of
the whole of the eastern area of the Mediterranean. ... ...
Generally, around Hippos was Hippene territory and villages, and
around Gadara, Gadarene land (Mark 5:1 KJV). Gadara’s long
aqueduct reveals the extent to which the community of Gadara
must have controlled territory necessary to its life, commerce,
and convenience. G. A. Smith, the great Palestinian geographer,
wrote,“ The Decapolitan region, as Pliny calls it (V. 15), ‘the
borders of the Decapolis,’ as it is styled in the gospels, was,
therefore, no mere name, but an actual sphere of property and
effective influence” ([glow=navy,2,300]Historical Geography of
the Holy Land, 9th ed., p. 601[/glow]). ... ...
AGelbert explanatory NOTE: The following picture was taken
looking from North to South. The lake in the picture is the Sea
of Galilee, which is West of Hippos (Sussita). Somewhere along
that coast down there is where Christ came ashore and saved from
perdition a man from Gadara possessed by a legion of demons.

[center]Hippos (Sussita)[/center]
Sussita is situated on a high mountain about two kilometers east
of the Lake of Tiberias ([glow=blue,2,300]Sea of
Galilee[/glow]), and 350 m. above the level of the lake. The
mountain on which the city was erected is almost entirely
disconnected from its surroundings, with just a narrow saddle
between it and the lower western slopes of the Golan Heights.
The top of the mountain on which the city stands is flat and
slopes gradually towards the west. ... ...
It is impossible to believe that [glow=teal,2,300]our Lord and
His disciples[/glow] did not know Greek. But at least in Gadara,
that characteristic Greek city overhanging the Lake of Galilee,
in the scholars it sent forth to Greece and Rome we have ample
proof that [glow=teal,2,300][b]the kingdom of God[/glow] came
forth in no obscure corner, but in the [glow=red,2,300]very face
of the 🐍🦍🐉 kingdoms of this
world[/glow][/b]” (op. cit. p. 608).
