Antioch of Syria
Mike Willis
There were a number of cities built by various Seleucid kings which bore the name Antioch in honor of rulers who wore the name of Antiochus. Two of them were Antioch of Syria and Antioch of Pisidia.
Alexander the Great was the first to imagine the city of Antioch, according to the fourth-century writer Libanius. After defeating the Persians at the Battle of Issus in 333 B.C., he stopped at the future site of Antioch, drank from the water of its sweet well, and declared that it “tasted like his mother’s milk.” He resolved to build a city on the site. He died before accomplishing this.
After the death of Alexander the Great (323 B.C.), his kingdom was divided among his generals. The northern area was given to Seleucus Nicator (358-281 B.C.). Seleucus built his capital on the Orontes and named it after his father, Antiochus. Seleucus Nicator made Jewish people citizens of those cities which he built, including Antioch (Josephus, Antiquities, XII. 3.1).
The Seleucid kingdom was ruled from Antioch until 64 B.C. The Seleucids vied with the Ptolemies in Egypt for control of Palestine from 323 to 198 B.C., when Antiochus the Great won control of the region and held it until the Romans moved into the region. Seleucid rule was at first welcome by the Jewish people, but the situation soon changed. During the reign of the tyrant Antiochus Epiphanes (175-163 B.C.), the Jews in Jerusalem were ordered to offer pagan sacrifices on their altar in the Temple, leading to the Maccabean rebellion. The situation of the Antiochian Jews must have been quite difficult. With the coming of the Romans, their situation improved and Jews in Antioch enjoyed the status of a politeuma, a “political state” according to Josephus.
Antioch became an important military center after it was incorporated into the Roman Empire in 64 B.C. by Pompey. He made Antioch the capital of Syria and used it as a staging area for wars against its eastern adversaries. The Romans expanded the development of Antioch under Augustus (27 B.C. – A.D. 14) and Tiberius (A.D. 14-37), colonnading its main north-south street and building numerous public buildings. Herod the Great paid to pave with marble the main thoroughfare in Antioch. Tiberius Caesar later built the colonnades that are there. During the Jewish rebellion, Herod Agrippa II and other Jews opposing the rebellion, met Vespasian in Antioch (Josephus, Wars of the Jews III.2.4). Perhaps this is the reason that Vespasian and Titus continued to act favorably toward the Jews in Antioch, even after the Jewish rebellion (Josephus, Antiquities XII.3.1). After the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, Titus enjoyed a triumphal entry into the city of Antioch in celebration of his defeating the Jews. Josephus tells of a serious threat to the Jews in Antioch in Wars of the Jews VII.3.2-4).
After the destruction of Seleucia Ctesiphon in 165 B.C., Antioch was the third largest city in the Roman world, ranking behind Rome and Alexandria, Egypt (Josephus, Wars of the Jews III.2.4). Estimates of its population range from 600,000 to 100,000 (Pacwa, 265). The Christian orator John Chrysostom (345-407) estimates that its population was 200,000 during his time. The city was located on a major trade route from the Middle East to Palestine and Egypt, causing it to be a thriving commercial center in the first century.
Antioch played an important part in first century Christianity. Nicolas, one of the seven appointed to serve the daily ministration to the widows, was a proselyte from Antioch (Acts 6:5). After the persecution following the martyrdom of Stephen, those who scattered from Jerusalem took the gospel to Antioch where they began preaching the gospel with much success to the Greeks (Acts 11:19-20). When news of this reached Jerusalem, the saints sent Barnabas to investigate the situation. When he saw that things there were in order, he brought Saul to join him in the work at Antioch. They labored together for a full year in Antioch. Perhaps it was during this time that Paul suffered persecution at Antioch (2 Tim. 3:11). During this time, the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). This new church sent relief to help the poor among the saints at Jerusalem (Acts 11:27-30).
From Antioch, Paul and Barnabas were sent on their first missionary journey (Acts 13:1-3) and to that church Paul reported on all of his missionary activities (Acts 14:26; 18:22).
The church at Antioch played a determinative role in working out whether or not Gentiles had to be circumcised and keep the Law of Moses in order to be saved. Paul took Titus as a test case and with other brethren (including Barnabas) went to Jerusalem for what is generally called the Jerusalem Conference (Acts 15). Though it was revealed that Gentiles could be saved without keeping the Law, Galatians 2:1-14 records a major conflict that occurred in the church when Peter came to Antioch and refused to have table fellowship with Gentiles. Paul resisted him.
Undoubtedly the church at Antioch played a significant part in shaping Christianity into a world religion instead of just another sect of Judaism.
Modern scholarship suggests that Matthew might have been written at Antioch and some think that Luke might also have penned his gospel at Antioch.
Antioch was the home of the famed Christian orator, John Chrysostom, who wrote Homilies Against the Jews. Another famous “Christian” character was Simeon Stylites, who was supposedly buried in Antioch. He lived for thirty years on a 60-foot-high column in the mountains east of the city.
Today the city is known an Antakya, a bustling small city that occupies much of the ancient site. There are ruins of the walls, the hippodrome, a large structure that might be the foundation of Diocletian’s palace, masonry works to control flooding, and aquaducts. However, most of the ancient city lies below the present town of Antakya. The most important artifacts that have been found are the magnificent mosaics found during the 1932-1939 Princeton University and Sorbonne (Paris) excavations (housed at the Antakya Museum, the Louvre, and the Princeton museum). Over 300 mosaics were found and removed; one of the earliest was moved to Worcester Art Museum and reconstructed (http://www.worcesterart.org/Exhibitions/Past/th.html). There is a little evidence of a Jewish population in Antioch.
Visitors are shown Saint Peter’s church, a natural cave on the western slope of Mt. Staurin (the mountain of the Cross), the eastern extension of Mt. Silpius. The cave is thought to have taken its present-day appearance during the medieval centuries after the crusader’s conquest of Antioch in 1098. A stone chair on the altar of the church was put there to commemorate the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter to celebrate that he was the first bishop of the city, an apparent Catholic myth.

The Steps That Lead to Eternal Salvation
1) Hear the gospel, for that is how faith comes (Rom. 10:17; John 20:30-31).
2) Believe in the deity of Jesus Christ (John 8:24; John 3:18).
3) Repent of sins (Luke 13:5; Acts 17:30).
4) Confess faith in Christ (Rom. 10:9-10; Acts 8:36-38).
5) Be baptized in water for the remission of sins (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 3:26-27; 1 Pet. 3:21).
6) Continue in the faith, living for the Lord; for, if not, salvation can be lost (Heb. 10:36-39; Rev. 2:10; 2 Pet. 2:20-22).

Hey people,
I’ve been diving into the world of online casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was totally unsure. I mean, how do you even believe in an online platform with your hard-earned money, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few dodgy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that distinguish a legit casino from a total scam. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just close that tab. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — read the T&Cs. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “generous” bonuses.
Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a breath of fresh air. The interface? Super smooth. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: pinko game What really impressed me was the support team. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like instantly. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, not worth it.
Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. It’s smarter to get fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra fun budget and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just stay sharp, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a good place to play. If you’ve got your own go-to sites or even some wild losses, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.
Good luck out there, and may the odds be ever in your favor ??

El proceso de atraer y elegir candidatos es fundamental para el crecimiento de cualquier empresa.
Contar con el equipo correcto en los puestos correctos define el rumbo en desarrollo.
1. Identificar el puesto ideal
Antes de comenzar el proceso de reclutamiento, se requiere tener claro el perfil profesional que la empresa necesita. Esto incluye competencias, trayectoria y actitudes que se alineen con la cultura de la organización.
2. Dónde buscar candidatos
Hoy en día, las empresas pueden aprovechar plataformas digitales como Indeed, además de programas de recomendación para conseguir al mejor talento.
Diversificar fuentes incrementa la probabilidad de encontrar candidatos de calidad.
3. Preselección y entrevistas
Una vez recibidas las aplicaciones, se debe preseleccionar a los perfiles que más se acercan a los criterios.
Después, las entrevistas sirven para conocer no solo la experiencia del candidato, sino también su actitud con la empresa.
4. Exámenes de selección
Para asegurar que el profesional seleccionado cumple con lo esperado, se pueden realizar tests de competencias, evaluaciones psicométricas o dinámicas de grupo.
Esto minimiza el margen de equivocación al contratar.
5. Elección final
Tras el proceso de evaluación, se procede de seleccionar al candidato que mejor se adapta.
La comunicación clara y un buen onboarding son fundamentales para garantizar que el nuevo empleado se integre fácilmente.
6. Seguimiento y mejora continua
Un proceso de reclutamiento nunca es estático.
Medir indicadores como rotación de personal hace posible ajustar la estrategia y perfeccionar los resultados.
En resumen, el proceso de contratación es mucho más que llenar vacantes.
Es una inversión en el futuro de la empresa, donde atraer al equipo adecuado define su crecimiento sostenible.

El coaching ejecutivo tambien se centra en la gestion de equipos.
A traves de este acompanamiento, los ejecutivos aprenden como motivar a sus equipos, gestionar tensiones y crear un ambiente laboral positivo.
4. Competencias clave
Otro aspecto central es el perfeccionamiento de habilidades profesionales, como la inteligencia emocional.
Estas habilidades blandas resultan criticas para cualquier profesional que quiera tener impacto en la era moderna.
5. Beneficios tangibles
El coaching ejecutivo no se queda en lo conceptual, sino que genera resultados concretos en la organizacion.
Entre ellos se incluyen mayor productividad, mejor clima laboral y mejor alineacion organizacional.
6. Proceso personalizado
Cada ejecutivo vive un camino propio, adaptado a sus necesidades.
El coach acompana el recorrido, pero el actor principal del cambio siempre es el ejecutivo.
En conclusion, el coaching ejecutivo es una inversion en el futuro de la organizacion.
Los profesionales que lo adoptan alcanzan mejores resultados y se preparan para enfrentar los retos de la nueva economia.
