	Politics and Propaganda: The Use and Abuse of Ancient Conflicts in the Modern Battle for Jerusalem By Eric Cline
		In particular, the Maccabean rebellion and the subsequent brief flowering of an independent Jewish state in the Near East during the first century BCE had two important repercussions—one purely religious and the other a complex mixture of the political and religious.
		Politically, the Maccabean rebellion against the Seleucid Empire was important to the development of Zionism and to the founders of modern Israel.
		The poet’s portrayal of the new Zionist movement as a phoenix rising from the 2,000-year-old ashes of the Roman destruction of Jerusalem was also a motif at the core of speeches given by leaders of the movement.

		The Maccabean Revolt had been successful partially because the Seleucid dynasty was in decline.
		Originally Josephus was a Pharisee and a military leader during the Jewish revolt against Rome (AD 66-73), but ultimately he sided with the Romans and tried to use diplomacy to get the Jews to end the revolt.
		Due to the promises that David's dynasty would rule forever (see 2 Samuel 7:13-16) and the success of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid rulers from Antioch, many Jewish people in the times of Jesus hoped for a political "messiah" who would deliver the Jewish people from the Romans.
