Did the Jews worship Jupiter also Known as Zeus?

Did the Jews worship Zeus who is also known as Jupiter? A Latin writer named Valerius Maximus seemed to think so and so did Plutarch. The translation of the writing of Valerius indicate this:

“The Jews had tried to corrupt Roman values with their cult of Jupiter Sabazius, so the praetor forced them to go back to their home.”

“Cornelius Hispanus expelled the Chaldeans from the city and ordered them to leave Italy within ten days to prevent them from making money out of their foreign science. The Jews had tried to pass their religion on to Romans, so Hispanus expelled them from the city and demolished their private altars in the public places.”

“The Senate decided that the temples of Isis and Serapis should be demolished, but none of the workers dared to touch the temples. The consul Lucius Aemilius Paulus took off his official striped toga, grabbed an axe, and smashed in the doors of the temple.”

According to Nonnos, Dionysus is also referred to as the Arabian Cronus, Ammon in Libya, Belos on the Euphrates, Apis by the Nile, and the Assyrian Zeus. The planet Jupiter is associated with Zeus and the planet Saturn is associated with Cronus. The Saturnalia was a holiday in honor of Zeus’s father, Cronus and the agriculture gods that came after. According to Wikipedia:

Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honour of the deity Saturn held on December 17 of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through December 23. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves.[1] The poet Catulluscalled it “the best of days.”[2]

In Roman mythology, Saturn was an agricultural deity who reigned over the world in theGolden Age, when humans enjoyed the spontaneous bounty of the earth without labor in a state of social egalitarianism. The revelries of Saturnalia were supposed to reflect the conditions of the lost mythical age, not all of them desirable. The Greek equivalent was the Kronia.[3]

Although probably the best-known Roman holiday, Saturnalia as a whole is not described from beginning to end in any single ancient source. Modern understanding of the festival is pieced together from several accounts dealing with various aspects.[4] The Saturnalia was the dramatic setting of the multivolume work of that name by Macrobius, a Latin writer from late antiquity who is the major source for the holiday. In one of the interpretations in Macrobius’s work, Saturnalia is a festival of light leading to the winter solstice, with the abundant presence of candles symbolizing the quest for knowledge and truth.[5] The renewal of light and the coming of the new year was celebrated in the later Roman Empire at the Dies Natalis of Sol Invictus, the “Birthday of the Unconquerable Sun,” on December 25.[6]

The Romans regarded Saturn as the original and autochthonous ruler of the Capitolium,[65] and the first king of Latium or even the whole of Italy.[66] At the same time, there was a tradition that Saturn had been an immigrant god, received by Janus after he was usurped by his son Jupiter (Zeus) and expelled from Greece.[67] His contradictions—a foreigner with one of Rome’s oldest sanctuaries, and a god of liberation who is kept in fetters most of the year—indicate Saturn’s capacity for obliterating social distinctions.[68]

Roman mythology of the Golden Age of Saturn’s reign differed from the Greek tradition. He arrived in Italy “dethroned and fugitive”,[69] but brought agriculture and civilization and became a king. As the Augustan poet Vergil described it,

“he gathered together the unruly race” of fauns and nymphs “scattered over mountain heights, and gave them laws … . Under his reign were the golden ages men tell of: in such perfect peace he ruled the nations.”[70]

It appears that Saturn still seems to be associated with Cronus and the “golden age” whereas the Jews worshipped Zeus and his son Dionysus. A description of the golden age from Wikipedia is as follows:

After dispatching Uranus, Cronus re-imprisoned the Hecatonchires, the Gigantes, and the Cyclopes and set the dragon Campe to guard them. He and his sister Rhea took the throne of the world as king and queen. The period in which Cronus ruled was called the Golden Age, as the people of the time had no need for laws or rules; everyone did the right thing, and immorality was absent.

According to the Sibylline Oracles:

Cronus is again mentioned in the Sibylline Oracles, particularly book three, which makes Cronus, ‘Titan’ and Iapetus, the three sons of Uranus and Gaia, each to receive a third division of the Earth, and Cronus is made king over all. After the death of Uranus, Titan’s sons attempt to destroy Cronus’ and Rhea’s male offspring as soon as they are born, but at Dodona, Rhea secretly bears her sons Zeus, Poseidon and Hades and sends them to Phrygia to be raised in the care of three Cretans. Upon learning this, sixty of Titan’s men then imprison Cronus and Rhea, causing the sons of Cronus to declare and fight the first of all wars against them. This account mentions nothing about Cronus either killing his father or attempting to kill any of his children.

This Cronide bloodline is the Pharaonic bloodline. The Titans were their enemies. The whole world worships this bloodline, unknowingly. Most ancient mythologies and modern religions honour this bloodline; unfortunately, people don’t know it and the “priests” have murdered and tortured millions over what name you call their father and son god, and who has the power and wealth as a priest class and royal bloodline. This knowledge is the secret they keep. Read more in MU.T. and Diaries of Dionysus.
