What made Julius Caesar a great general?

Answer 1

We don't know that he was a good general. He may have had good advisers. Or he may have been 'lucky'. We need some back ground to understand why he was 'lucky'.

His main claim to fame was the defeat of the Carthaginians in England. After the Punic Wars, Rome thought she had rid herself of her most dangerous enemy - the daughter colony of ancient Tyre. Tyre had virtually ruled the ancient commercial world (900-200 BC) which enabled her to hire armies to protect her economic interests. Tyre received her economic privilege by assisting King Solomon of Israel. The King of Tyre helped Solomon build the great temple that once existed in Jerusalem. Since the Queen Sheba of I Kings 10:1 in The Bible is now thought to be the great Hatshepsut (Hat-Sheba-Sut) of Egypt and Ethiopia (18th Dynasty), the temple she built at Deir el-Bahari is probably a replica of Solomon's Temple. Solomon allowed Tyre to have exclusive access to the Mediterranean to Eilat (Red Sea) trade route.

Thus Rome had much to fear from Tyre, and the resources (capital) she had acquired from centuries of commercial prowess. And much to fear from Carthage and the new bases Carthage (Phoenicians) had built in England. In England they helped (or hired) the Gauls to attack Rome from France. As Caesar wrote, "Omnia Gallia inter tres partis divisi est" [Gaul (France) is divided into three regions]. He went on to describe the geographic and social dimensions of the France of that era. But it was the shadowy Phoenicians from bases in England like Exeter (or Ishtar) that Caesar had to knock out if Rome were to be secure.

(Another point to consider is that "Gaul" or "Galatia" is named after the Chaldeans. The Gauls, Celts or Gelts (the Welsh 'c' and 'g') were Chaldeans who had fled the destruction of their ancient homelands in Southern Iraq (Isaiah 23). In Spain the 'W' is read 'G' so "welsh" is 'Gelsh' or 'Gelth'. The point to make from this etymology is that Caesar realised both 'Babylon' and 'Tyre' were in league against Rome which itself had been settled by Trojan Chaldeans originally from 'Babylon'. In some ways this shows Satan's kingdom is divided against itself until Satan decides who will win. In this case he backed the Chaldeans of Rome against the Phoenicians and Chaldeans of England and France. This principle works itself out in other ways, for example the battle between the colonists of the 13 states of America against Britain.)

Few people are aware of the reason why Rome built up its empire. According to her Prophet Daniel, Israel was about to receive her Messiah some 483 years after the Persians approved the rebuilding of the Jewish temple. This meant that in the decades before the 'year zero' of the Vatican calendar we now use, many pretenders to the Messiah-ship of Israel were emerging. The exact date for the Persian decree had been lost due to technical reasons. However, the head of the angels (Satan) knows that when Israel receives her Messiah his career goes down the drain. In order to destroy Israel, Satan either has to destroy the nation, destroy their self belief (by distorting ancient history so that they disbelieve their true historic and prophetic calling) or map the heavens and the floor of the ocean (Jeremiah 31:37). According to various government statements, which are in the hands of this author, the world economy and science system are currently being 'manipulated' to achieve those ends. They don't admit these things are 'manipulated' but it's clear that is what is happening. That explains why and how Mr Madoff managed to cheat so many people of their savings. He was authorised to collect that money for these ends.

Thus Satan is once again under pressure to prepare for the Coming of Christ just as Satan (and this world which he controls) was under pressure when Julius Caesar began his campaign to defeat the Gauls, then Britain (dominated by Phoenicia-Carthage). After Caesar, effectively Satan's servant as his moral behaviour confirmed, won some amazing victories, Caesar went on to control Rome and prepare Rome for world domination on behalf of Satan. Rome became Satan's vehicle for this objective. After Caesar's 'murder' (or removal), Octavian, Caesar's adopted son, carried on the plan until his general Quintilius Varis lost two huge legions in Germany's forests for the same reasons Caesar won his battles - Satan controlled the situation. God, in His permissive, will lets these things happen as the plan for His Kingdom unfolds. We are witnessing the rival plans for control of this world. When Adam took of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil (refer the Bible) he handed dominion of this world to Satan. But Jesus (Yeshua) is going to win it back. When the Jewish leaders began rejecting Jesus, or taking no notice of Him at His Bar Mitzvah year when He appeared in the temple and amazed the leaders with His knowledge, Satan began to realise the pressure to establish a world empire to destroy Israel was no longer necessary. So Satan allowed the Romans to be deceived or lured into the trap which Quintilius Varus blundered into.

Another name for Satan is Lucifer and we get the work 'lucky' from that name. Satan can work wonders and his antichrist will appear to do just that as he rises to take over the world. Satan was likened to the King of Tyre in a chapter (28) the Jewish Prophet wrote. The Kings of Tyre became corrupted and proud. Their fall was at the hands of the Romans (Scipio and Caesar). Satan's Fall was at the Hands of God and Jesus said "I saw Satan fall" which showed He is the Son of God because he was at the Throne of God when Satan disobeyed God long before Man was created.

So the background to what happens here on Earth reflects ancient pre-human events. Julius Caesar was just lucky and had a 'successful' career until he grew too big for his boots and Satan had him murdered (removed). The demonic world knew this which was why some demons told the witch to say "Beware the Ides of March". Those who serve Satan lose their lives when he decides. Those who serve Jesus (Christians) die at the time God appoints for them when they have finished their work for Him. Historians do not understand these things. They can record and collect the facts but they cannot explain them without accepting God's Word and the record of that Word in the Bible.

God has allowed Satan to distort ancient history in the Halls of the Academy. That has been done by distorting ancient Egyptian history by adding dynasties that should not exist and by placing them in the wrong millennium to confuse the dates. Thus the world's history prior to Caesar is misunderstood. A proper reading of that history reveals that people like Caesar rise up becaue either God or Satan has a purpose for them. God's servants get a bad press. Satan's servants get a good press.

However, the most brilliant 'Caesar' is yet to arise. He will call himself "King of Kings". However, only Jesus is legitimately entitled to this name. We actually do know of a child whose name comes from Imperial Roman traditian. The child's eventual surname, assuming he adopts it from the step-father his mother married (c.f., Mary marrying Joseph, who became Jesus' step-father or 'father-in-law'), means "king of kings" if one studies the names given to kings in the Bible. One needs to examine the etymology of the foreign names of the Biblical kings and how the scribes transliterated these into Hebrew. Because it is by doing the transliterations that one can obtain a value for this child's name. We get the value six, six, six. The first name is classical Roman and the surname is simple to understand biblically. The letters used by the Jewish scribes, for ancient imperial or royal titles in the Bible, set the precedents for us to use in transliterating modern names such as this one we are thinking of at the moment.

For reasons of security and sensibility it is unwise to release such a name especially for the reason that the person concerned might actually reject Satan's offers (as Jesus did). But the information to hand does show that it is possible to identify the ultimate 'Julius Caesar' if we can call the Antichrist that. This yet-future 'Julius Caesar' will make the former look a nobody in comparison.

Answer 2

Some contributing factors leading to Caesar's success include his Aunt getting married to Gaius Marius, a very wealthy man, saving him financially. This is where Caesar first took off. Caesar was also an amazing orator, by public speaking to crowds he earned his way up the ladder. Julius Caesar had an excellent reputation as a military commander. Mostly, Caesar's success came from him being elected council for the first time at age 41.

hope that helps (:

im working on the same question ahah

Answer 3

Julius Caesar conquered Gaul and made it a Roman province, becoming a champion of the people. He also defeated his rival Pompey the Great and became dictator for life, although that life was ended abruptly afterwards. And he commissioned a new solar calender which is named after him, the Julian Calender which we still use today, among other achievements.

Answer 4

Julius Caesar was motivated by his ego. Although capable in many fields, such as physical strength and endurance, rhetoric, military tactics, literature and law, it was his ego that drove him to accomplish.
