Which Jewish civil wars that killed hundreds of thousands 500 years after the time of the prophets are you talking about? There was the Maccabean revolution against the Seleucids but that wasn't really a civil war and probably didn't cause that large a loss of life. At least one of the Maccabean kings persecuted the Pharisees and killed hundreds and maybe thousands of them ... but thats not as big as what you were indicating. Then there were the rebellions against Rome ... but those weren't civil wars either. around 500bc , Alexander had a dream to unite the world & almost did, Ah, Alexander, now there was a guy who killed hundreds of thousands. But his dream was one of uniting the world under his empire like any conqueror. Also you're off a bit on the timing of Alexander. Do you know anything about history?
