Hyrcanus also initiated a military campaign against the Idumeans in the Negev near Eilat. During this campaign Hyrcanus conqueredAdora, Maresha and other Idumean towns (Ant.13.257). Hyrcanus then instituted forced conversions on the Idumeans. This was an unprecedented move for a Judean ruler.
Aristobulus. Much of the Galilee region was annexed by Aristobulus, however, there was some resistance from the Arab Ituraean tribes by the northern parts of the region that required military operations. The region made it difficult to conduct such campaigning against the Galilee inhabitants. In the end, Aristobulus would eventually conquer much of the territory from them.[SUP][[/SUP]The Golan region was also taken during the campaign and Mount Hermon as well. The conquered inhabitants were forced to accept the Jewish faith, primarily,circumcision was forcibly performed as the first step to conversion.

I say again, give me some scriptural proof of conversion under Hyrcanus.
No they weren't ever restored to the Promised Land. The Book of Joshua begins by citing the death of Moses who never entered the Promised Land of Canaan.
"Now after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord it came to pass, that the Lord spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister saying, Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all the people, unto the land which I do give them, even the children of Israel. Joshua 1:1,2
As obvious as the nose on your face that they took posession of the land under Joshua.

were you born foolish, or did it come on gradually.? How can you have Scripture for the intertestamental period? And incidentally it isn't Josephus who wrote that LOL
I suppose you don't believe in Adolph Hitler. He's not in Scripture either.
No wonder you have so many sceptics in America.

Amen God cursed his people because they always turned away from Him and turned to idols. We are part of His people inserted into the branches, but as a Chirstian, I don't have the authority to curse the people of Israel just like Balaam wasn't allowed to curse Israel instead he blessed them. The Only One who has authority to bless or curse is God. It is an honor to be part of His people! Thank you Lord!

Saladbin What aload of tosh you inflict on members. Whatever will you Obama Haters do when he leaves office? Were you
so active when Bush invaded Iraq, resulting in the state he left it in? Did you support Gadafe who was responsible for Lockerby and the murder of a young unarmed Police Woman in London? Do you want world war three?

Just because someone lives some place doesn't mean they actually posses the land.
Gen.17:8 - And I will give unto thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting posession; and I will be their God.
Wherein thou art a "stranger" literally means "of your sojournings". The land wasn't theirs yet they were just living and wandering around on it.
And the Lord gave unto Israel "all the land he sware to give unto their fathers"; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
Joshua 21:43
Not until Joshua did they truly own and posses the land of Canaan.

But it was still their land, and they returned to it. If someone had said to them, where are you from?' they would have replied 'Canaan'. Apart from in his youth Jacob had never lived anywhere else. Nor had his sons. You are playing with words.
But then your kind do that a lot in order to uphold their unscriptural ideas.
