in the end, there are only 2 hard historical facts

{RA}

ABOUT YESH
OF NATSERETH/BETH LECHEM
UPON WHICH WE CÀN CONFIDENTLY RELY:
THE FIRST IS THAT YESHU WAS A JEW WHO LED A POPULAR JEWISH MOVEMENT IN PALESTINE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FIRST CENTURY CE/AD; the second is that Rome rather quickly cruelly crucified him for doing so! By themselves these two facts cannot provide a complete portrait of the life of a man who lived 2000 years (20 centuries/2 millennia) ago? But when combined with
all we know about the tumultuous era in which YESHUA lived - & thanks to the Romans, we know a great deal - these two
facts càn HÈLP paint a picture of Yehoshua haMashiah that may be more historically accurate than the one painted by
these 4 'gospels'? Indeed, the Yesh that emerges from this historical exercise - a zealous revolutionary swept up,
as all Jews of that era were (again), in the religious & political turmoil of first-century Kana'an/Palestine -
beard little resemblance to the image of the gentle shepherd usually cultivated by the early Christian
community? Because, consider THÌS: CRUCIFIXION wàs a punishment that Rome preserved almost
exclusively for the crime of sedition! The plaque the Romans placed above Yeshu's head as he
writhed in pain - "King of the Jews" - was called a TITULUS ànd, despite common perception,
was nòt meant to be (only) sarcastic! Every criminal who hung on a cross received a plaque
declaring the specific crime for which he was executed! YESHUA's crime, in the eyes of
Rome, wàs stríving FÒR kìngly rúle (i.e., treason), the same crime for which nearly
every òther aspirant of the time wàs kìlled. Nòr dìd Yesh die alone: the gospels
claim that on either side of him hung men who in Greek are called
LESTAI, a word often rendered into English as "thieves"
but which actually means "BANDITS" & wàs
the móst common Roman
designation for an
Insurrectionist or
'rebel'.
