ra44b six days a week, from sunup to sundown, Yesh


WOULD
HAVE TOILED
IN THAT ROYAL CITY,
BUILDING PALATIAL HOUSES
FOR THE JEWISH ARISTOCRACY DURING THE DAY,
AND RETURNING TO HIS OWN CRUMBLING MUD-BRICK HOME AT NIGHT?!

He would have witnessed for himself the rapidly expanding divide day by day
& year after year between the absurdly rich and the indebted poor!? He would also
have mingled constantly with that city's Hellenized & Romanized local population: those wealthy,
wayward Jews who spent as much time praising the emperor of Rome as they did the Lord of the Universe!

He certainly would have been quite familiar with the exploits of Judas the Galilean! For while the population
of Sepphoris seems to have been tamed & transformed after Judas's rebellion into the model of Roman cooperation ~
so much so that in 66 C.E., as most of Galilee was joining the revolt against Rome, Sepphoris immediately declared its loyalty
to the crual heathen emperor & became a Roman garrison during the battle to reclaim YERUSHALAYIM ~ the memory of Judas
the Galilean & what he accomplished did not fade in Sepphoris: not for the drudge & the dispossessed; not for those, like Yeshu,
who spent their days slogging bricks to build yet another mighty mansion for yet another Jewish nobleman. And no doubt Yeshua
would have been very aware of the escapades of a Herod Antipas ~ "that wily Fox," as Yesh calls him by mouth of Lucky Luke 13:31 ~
who lived in Sepphoris until around 20 C.E., when he moved to Tiberias, on the wide colonized coast of Kinnereth, the Sea of Galilee ...

Indeed, Yesh may have been regularly set his eyes upon that goyish man who would one day cut off the head of his friend & moral mentor & cousin Yochanan aka John the Baptist, and seek to do the same to him! We've seen it many time before & after?
