![]() ![]() ![]() Mosley resigned in 1930 because of discord with the government's unemployment policies. A rising star, some considered Mosley a future Prime Minister. In 1928, he succeeded his father as the sixth Mosley baronet, a title that had been in his family for more than a century. Mosley returned to Parliament as Labour MP for Smethwick at a by-election in 1926 and served as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in the Labour Government of 1929–31. At the 1924 general election he stood in Birmingham Ladywood against the future prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, coming within 100 votes of defeating him. Īfter military service during the First World War, Mosley was one of the youngest members of parliament, representing Harrow from 1918 to 1924, first as a Conservative, then an independent, before joining the Labour Party. He was a member of parliament and later founded and led the British Union of Fascists (BUF). Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, 6th Baronet (16 November 1896 – 3 December 1980) was a British politician during the 1920s and 1930s who rose to fame when, having become disillusioned with mainstream politics, he turned to fascism. The apostle Paul also preached in Judea (Acts 26:20), where many Christian churches were established (Acts 9:31 1 Thessalonians 2:14).Portrait of Oswald Mosley by Glyn Philpot, 1925 Judea was among the nations represented at the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (Acts 2:5–11). Even though Jesus encountered difficulties and persecution in Judea (John 4:1–3), He commissioned His disciples to go and be witnesses in “Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Jesus frequently ministered in Judea (John 4:3 11:7 Mark 10:1), and people from Judea came to hear the Lord’s teachings and witness His miracles (Luke 5:17). John the Baptist began his preaching ministry in the wilderness of Judea (Matthew 3:1). Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea (Matthew 2:1, 5, 6) as foretold by the prophet (Micah 5:2). During the days of the early church, Herod Agrippa I ruled over Judea. Among these was Pontius Pilate, who governed at the time of Jesus’ death. After Herod’s death and throughout Jesus’ lifetime, Judea was under the rule of Roman-appointed procurators, or governors. When Jesus was born, Herod the Great was King of Judea (Luke 1:5), although he ruled a much larger area. Under the Roman Empire, Judea was part of the province of Syria. However, at times in the Bible, Judea is applied in a broader political sense to mean all the territory occupied by the Jewish nation (Matthew 19:1 Luke 1:5 4:44 7:17 23:5 Acts 10:37 11:1, 29 26:20). This area, known as the upper hill country, extended from Bethel in the north to Beth Zur in the south, and from Emmaus in the west to the Jordan River in the east.Īfter the period of exile in Babylon, Judea proper comprised a relatively small region immediately surrounding the city of Jerusalem, an area much reduced from the former kingdom of Judah. The province of Judea, as distinguished from Galilee and Samaria, included the territories of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, Dan, Simeon, and part of Ephraim. ![]() The name Judea is first introduced in the Bible in the book of Ezra as a province of the Persian Empire: “Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands” (Ezra 5:8, KJV see also Ezra 9:9).Īncient Israel was divided into three main regions: Galilee to the north, Samaria in the center, and Judah, later called Judea, to the south. Since the territory of Judah was nearly all that remained of the northern and southern kingdoms at the time of the exile, the returning captives were called “Judeans,” and their homeland became known as Judea. ![]() Most of the Jews who returned from exile were from the tribe of Judah. Judea means “land of the Jews.” The territory of Judea, formerly called Judah, began to be referred to as “Judea” only after the Babylonian captivity. ![]()
