I'm trying to do a bit of personal research on something. I know this a pretty random question, But does the Bible say Anything involving the people or anyone from Greece or Rome Before Paul became an Apostle?

There is some opinion to it, but the Tables of Nations (Gen. 10) supposedly means Greeks under the term Javan. Dan. 8:5 sends us, via the he goat (supposedly Alexander the great) back to Abraham's sacrifice (Gen. 15:9) which the Jews interpret as a prophecy concerning gentiles coming to Messiah in the last days. Some parts ot the Talmud consider Esau to be the spiritual founder of Rome. Finally, the iron in Daniel's statue is thought to be Rome (Dan 2:33)

Hmm..Mmkay..I'm not too familiar with Abraham's sacrifice. Did he sacrifice an animal or a person (might've been a stupid question..)...?

Btw, I just realized this..Me and you joined here on the same day..lol..! That's cool..

You're not familiar with Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac? Interesting. It's a very well-known story in the Bible. The first sacrifice was a human, his son Isaac. The actual sacrifice ended up being an animal. Substitution. Foreshadows Christ's sacrifice, dying in our place.

See Ginzberg's legends of the Jews. Make sure you get the right one, this is not the sacrifice of Isaac. The animals he sacrificed were dictated by God, and the purpose was to give him the entire history of the world in advance.
