ra: 3 rebels on a hill covered in crosses, ~~~~~~~
EACH CROSS BEARING THE RACKED & BLOODIED BODY OF A MAN WHO DARED DEFY THE WILL OF ROME: Thàt Image Alone should cast doubt upon the gospels' portrayal of Yesh as a man of unconditional peace almost wholly insulated from the political upheavals of his time!
The notion that the leader of a popular messianic movement calling for the imposition of the "Kingdom of God" - a term that would have been understood by Jew & gentile alike as implying revolt against Rome - could have remained uninvolved in the revolutio-nary fervor that had gripped nearly every Jew in Judea is simply ridiculous? Why would the gospel writers go to such lengths to temper the revolutionary nature of YESHUA's message & movement? To answer this question we must first recognize that almost every gospel story written about the life & mission of Yeshu of Natseret aka haNotsri & haMashiah was composed AFTER the Jewish rebellion against Rome in 66 CE!
In Thàt Year, a band of Jewish Rebels, spurred by their zeal for God, roused their fellow Jews in revolt! Miraculously, all these rebels managed to liberate their Holy Land from the Roman Occupation! For four glorious years, the city of God was só now thus once again under Jewish control! Then, in 70 CE, the Romans returned: after a brief siege of YERUSHALAYIM, the soldiers breached the city walls and unleashed an orgy of violence upon its residents. They butchered everyone in their path, heaping corpses on the Temple Mount. A river of blood flowed down the cobblestone streets. When the massacre was complete, the soldiers set fire to this Temple of God: the fires spread beyond the Temple Mount, engulfing Yerushalayim's shadows, the farms, the olive trees! Everything burned: só utterly complete was the devastation wrought upon this holy city that Josephus Flavius writes that there was nothing left to prove that YERUSHALAYIM had ever been inhabited?
Tens of thousands of Jews were slaughtered, and the rest were matched out of the city all in chains! The spiritual trauma faced by the Jews in the wake of that catastrophic event is hard to imagine! Exiled from this land promised to them by God, forced to live as outcasts among the pagans of the Roman Empire, the rabbis of the second century gradually and deli-berately divorced Judaism from the radical messianic nationalism that had launched this ill-fated war against Rome.
The Torah replaced the Temple in the center of Jewish life, & rabbinic Judaism emerged. For Mòr this whole Journey started already long before the Great Übermega Explosion @ Thera, the Cretan Tsunami, the Flooding of the Black Sea & mighty empires @ Assyria, Babylonia, China & Egypt's Farao's.
