Great post. I am curious In Edersheim, The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah ,Eerdmans ,reprint ,1986 Book 1 pp.4-5 “In his daring madness the Syrian king Antiochus IV (Epiphanes) had forbidden their religion,sought to destroy their sacred books,with unsparing ferocity forced on them conformity to heathen rites, desecrated the Temple by dedicating it to Zeus Olympius, and even reared a heathen altar upon that of burnt offering (1 Macc. 1>54,59 ,Josephus Antiquities XII 5.4.) Worst of all his wicked schemes had been aided by two apostate High Priests ,who had out vied each other in buying and prostituting the Holly Office.
Yet far away in the mountains of Ephriam (Birthplace of the Maccabees ID with modern ElMedyeh about 16 m. NW of Jerusalem in the ancient territory of Ephriam) Godhad raised for them a most unlooked for and unlikely help. Only three yrs. later and after a series of brilliant victories by undisciplined men over the flower of the Syrian Army ,Judas the Maccabee—Truly God’s Hammer—had purified the Temple ,and restored the altaron the very same day On which the “abomination of desolation” had been set up init’s place.”The footnotes on the meaning of the term Hammer “...We adopt the derivation from “Maqqabaha “ -a Hammer,Like Charles Martel(the French man who led the Army that turned back the Islamic Invaders at Tours? ; the restoration of the Temple — 1 Macc . IV.52-54 ;Megill Taan 23;on the Abomination of Desolation— 1 Macc 1.54 (See Daniel 11:31 and Matthew 24:15 in a Christian Bible. these references in The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah seem to make no reference to Christian/ Muslim opposition but seem to rely on the Hebrew roots of our Christian faith. What say You? How does this fit with your post?
Mohammed wasn’t born until AD 570, and the Christian New Testament (bible) was complete by about AD 100. Judah the Macabee lived in the 160s BC. The Christian, Charles Martel, defeated the Muslims in France in AD 732.
Therefore these all were in different time periods, so naturally there is nothing about Mohammed or the Muslims in the New Testament.
