    Extractions: Biblical History of King Solomon's Temple The Origin of the Phoenix as a symbol in Phoenixmasonry The old mythological legend of the Phoenix is a familiar one. The bird was described as of the size of an eagle, with a head finely crested, a body covered with beautiful plumage, and eyes sparkling like stars. She was said to live six hundred years in the wilderness, when she built for herself a funeral pile of aromatic woods, which she ignited with the fanning of her wings, and emerged from the flames with a new life. Hence the phoenix has been adopted universally as a symbol of immortality. Higgins (Anacalypsis, ii., 441) says that the phoenix is the symbol of an ever-revolving solar cycle of six hundred and eight years, and refers to the Phoenician word phen, which signifies a cycle. Aumont, the first Grand Master of the Templars after the martyrdom of DeMolay, and called the "Restorer of the Order," took, it is said, for his seal, a phoenix brooding on the flames, with the motto, "Ardet ut vivat" - She burns that she may live.

    Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Sichem (A.V. Shechem An Israelite city in the tribe of Ephraim , the first capital of the Kingdom of Israel . Its position is clearly indicated in the Bible : it lay north of Bethal and Silo, on the high road going from Jerusalem to the northern districts (Judges xxi, 19), at a short distance from Machmethath ( Joshua 17:7 ) and of Dothain Genesis 37:12-17 ); it was in the hill-country of Ephraim Joshua 20:7 1 Kings 12:25 1 Chronicles 6:67 ), immediately below Mount Garizim ( Judges 9:6-7 ). These indications are completed by Josephus , who says that the city lay between Mt. Ebal and Mt. Garizim, and by the Medaba map, which places Sychem , also called Sikima between the Tour Gobel (Ebal) and the Tour Garizin (Garizim). We may therefore admit unhesitatingly that Sichem stood on ( St. Jerome St. Epiphanius ), or very close to ( Eusebius , "Onomast.", Euchem Medaba map), the site occupied by the town of Nablus, the Neapolis, or Flavia Neapolis of early Christian ages. That the city of Sichem, the name of which ( Hebrew existed in the time of Abraham is doubted by a few who think it is referred to in Genesis 12:6 , by anticipation; but there can be no question touching its

    Biblical history of the birthplace of Christ.  
    http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02533a.htm
    
    Extractions: Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... B > Bethlehem The old Hebrew name , meaning "house of bread", has survived till the present day. In its Arabic form , however, it means "house of meat". Several scholars (Smith, Hist. Geog . of the Holy Land, 1906, 318. n. 2) hold that the name is connected with Lakhmu, one of the divinities in the Babylonian Creation myth and that Bethlehem was a sacred shrine of that god in ancient times. This is possible, but there is no actual evidence in favor of the conjecture. Two cities of the name are known from Sacred Scripture Bethlehem and Bethlehem of Judea Bethlehem is mentioned in Joshua 19:15 , as one of the twelve cities belonging to the tribe of Zabulon . It is but a small town, poorly built, and of no great importance (Buhl, Geog . des alten , 1896, 215), a little less than seven miles southwest of Sapphoris (Saffurieh) and seven miles northwest of Nazareth , the home of Our Lord Critics do not agree among themselves whether the Bethlehem described in Judges , xii, 8, 10, as the home of Abesan (Ibzan), one of the

    Extractions: Skip to: Site Menu Main content Since we now know that very many biblical images of the past (patriarchs, exodus, wandering, conquest, perhaps David and Solomon, too) are not authentic ones, it is our responsibility to discover how better to describe them, which means understanding what their real purpose is. Introduction Cultural or collective memory (also known as “social memory”) has become a major issue of the last fifty years in several fields. The concept originated within sociology but has more recently taken in psychology and history (see especially Zerubavel E, 2003; Zerubavel Y., 2005) to become an interdisciplinary area of investigation (see Middleton and Edwards, 1990). Its particular value is in its recognition not only that “the past” is always something created rather than simply recorded but also that recollection serves to create and sustain identity. Thus, while the effect of memory is to reproduce the past, its function is in truth orientated towards the present, to which the past is constantly adjusting itself (or to the future, when identity determines action). Cultural memory has recently been applied to biblical studies and especially to the biblical narratives about the past. I have made use of it in a couple of recent books (Davies 2007, 2008), but the dangers in using the term are almost as great as its advantages. Indeed, nearly all the issues can be related to the term itself.

    Extractions: Acco Located almost halfway between the modern Lebanese border and the city of Haifa, the coastal city of Acco served as one of the key ports of the land of Israel over much of its long history. The Canaanites and Phoenicians utilized Acco�s port, and the city is mentioned in ancient Egyptian records. Over the millennia Acco was besieged and conquered by a series of invaders, yet at times its strong fortifications kept it from defeat. Indeed, although it was included in the area allotted to the tribe of Asher, the Israelites were unable to vanquish the inhabitants. " Nor did Asher drive out those living in Acco or Sidon or Ahlab or Aczib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob, and because of this the people of Asher lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land ." Over 3,000 years later, Acco�s impressive walls proved to be the demise of a foreign army when Napoleon Bonaparte was forced to abandon his siege of the city with his troops.

33. Beersheva
    A Biblical history of the city.  
    http://www.ctsp.co.il/LBS pages/LBS_beersheva.htm
    
    Extractions: Beersheva The first "summit conference" in the history of this land took place in the Negev. Abraham and Abimelech, two leaders of the ancient world, met over seven lambs and a well, which became known as the 'Well of the Oath' (in Hebrew, Beersheva). " Then Abraham complained to Abimelech about a well of water that Abimelech's servants had seized. So Abraham brought sheep and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two men made a treaty. Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock, and Abimelech asked Abraham, �What is the meaning of these seven ewe lambs you have set apart by themselves?� He replied, �Accept these seven lambs from my hand as a witness that I dug this well.� So that place was called Beersheba, because the two men swore an oath there " [Genesis 21:25-31]. Thus it was here that Israel�s first conflicts over grazing land and water rights were resolved. Walls surrounded Beersheva either in the time of King David or when Solomon ruled the Land of Israel. Modern visitors to the remains of the ancient city at Tel Beersheva have a surprise in store: the entire Israelite city has been uncovered. Much of what remains on the tel have been reconstructed, to give visitors a picture of what life was in that ancient city.

    Extractions: Ashdod As the most important of the five cities of the Philistines - Ekron, Gaza, Ashkelon and Gath - Ashdod housed the Temple of the Philistines dedicated to the idol, Dagan. It was to Ashdod that the Philistines transported the Ark of the Covenant in the Era of the Judges and it brought them nothing but trouble: " After the Philistines had captured the ark of God, they took it from Ebenezer to Ashdod. Then they carried the ark into Dagon's temple and set it beside Dagon. When the people of Ashdod rose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! They took Dagon and put him back in his place. But the following morning when they rose, there was Dagon, fallen on his face on the ground before the ark of the Lord! His head and hands had been broken off and were lying on the threshold; only his body remained . . . The Lord's hand was heavy upon the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; he brought devastation upon them and afflicted them with tumors " [1 Samuel 5:1-6].

    Extractions: Ashkelon Having served as a southern seaport of the Holy Land for centuries, Ashkelon is truly a city of history. Indeed, excavations of Ashkelon have unearthed some remarkable findings. Perhaps the most striking was the discovery of a bronze and silver calf the scholars have dated to over 3,500 years ago. Bible students recall it was about that time the bible records. " When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain" [Exodus 32:19]. The magnificent beaches of Ashkelon were the ideal setting for Samson�s seduction by beautiful Philistine woman, Delilah. Later, David heard of the death of King Saul mourned greatly saying, "Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines be glad, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised rejoice" [2 Samuel 1:20].

    Extractions: Beth Shemesh Called, in Hebrew, "House of the Sun", Beth Shemesh bordered the region controlled by the Philistines. It thus became an important frontier town of the tribe of Judah and is mentioned nearly two dozen times in the Scriptures. Perhaps the most famous referral was an earth-shattering event in the lives of the Israelites. The Ark of the Covenant, lost to the Philistines, was returned to them at Beth Shemesh: " Then the cows went straight up toward Beth Shemesh, keeping on the road and lowing all the way; they did not turn to the right or to the left. Now the people of Beth Shemesh were harvesting their wheat in the valley, and when they looked up and saw the ark, they rejoiced at the sight. The cart came to the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh, and there it stopped beside a large rock. The people chopped up the wood of the cart and sacrificed the cows as a burnt offering to the Lord. On that day the people of Beth Shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices to the Lord "

40. Nazareth
    A Biblical history of the city.  
    http://www.ctsp.co.il/LBS pages/LBS_nazareth.htm
    
    Extractions: Nazareth In the hill country of the tribe of Zebulun, a small village existed for almost two thousand years before the birth of Jesus and yet was virtually unknown in ancient texts and references. This village was unwalled and unprotected, built into a small chalk ridge with a single source of water several hundred meters away from the main body of the village. Small caves were closed in the front to make homes, used for generations. Its unimpressive nature is reflected in the statement of Nathaniel, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" [John 1:46]. The ancient town is now dwarfed by the massive modern village filled with Arab Christians which now fills every ridge around the old village. A number of archaeologists have concluded that the population of the ancient village likely never exceeded 500 persons at the time that Joseph and Mary made this village their home. Two churches dominate the city's ancient memory, the Greek Orthodox Church at "Mary's Well" and the Basilica of the Annunciation. The Greek Church is the older of the two certainly one of the places visited by Arculf (670); the current structure is 300 hundred years old. The tradition of the spring as the place of the angelic visitation of Gabriel no doubt spurred from the "Proto-evangelium of James" (2
