>>21476668>>21476667>>21476666Jesus was from Galilee, a different name for Gaulilee, filled with Gauls (germanics) who forbid jews to enter for hundreds of years prior to Jesus as well as during Jesus' time, yet Jesus walked freely
Jesus rejected the jews as not his sheep then chose greek disciples
Another name for it by the greeks was Scythiopolis due to there being so many Scythians there, again an indo-european group
The kingdom of judah was overaken by edomites, after this point they called themselves judeans yet they didn't descend from judah, all these terms became 'jew'
calling a true judahite a judean at this point was seen more as an insult as the judeans were israelites from israel (jacob) but edomites were not
if anything they were insulting Jesus by calling him king of the jews
>Beit She'an used to be called Scythopolis, part of Greater Scythia. The Hellenistic period (323 BC) saw the reoccupation of the site of Beit She'an under the new name "Scythopolis" (Ancient Greek: Σκυθόπολις), meaning "City of the Scythians", possibly named after the Scythian mercenaries who settled there as veterans.>also spelled Beth Shean (Hebrew בֵּית שְׁאָן): Bronze Age, Iron Age, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine city in Galilee. In Greek, it was called Scythopolis or Greater Scythia;'https://scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0259-94222008000300008>"The article demonstrates that this thesis is supported by Josephus and also by archaeological evidence. From the perspective of this thesis, the article contends that the term "Jew" does not apply to Galileans. First-century Galileans should rather be understood as "ethnic Judeans (descendants of Judah, Judahite-Israelite)">>To reiterate: Galileans were not "Jews" who practiced a "religion" called "Judaism". When Jesus, the Galilean, was crucified as the "king of the Judeans" ; Mt 27:37; Mk 15:26; Lk 23:38; Jn 19:19), it was a profound and highly offensive statement against Judean ethnic identity.
