ra48b Valerius Gratus had appointed Caiaphas as ~

HIGH PRIEST IN THE YEAR 18 C.E.,
MEANING HE HAD ALREADY SERVED 8 YEARS IN THE OFFICE BY THE TIME PONTIUS PILATE
HAD ARRIVED IN JERUSALEM?!

Part of the reason
Caiaphas was able to hold the position of high priest for such an unprecedented 18 years
was because of this close relationship he ended up forging with POPI: these two men
worked very well together!?


That whole period of their combined rule,
from 18 to 36, coincided with the most stable period
in the entire 1st century Common Era and together these two managed
to keep their lid on the revolutionary impulse of the Jews by dealing ruthlessly
with any kind of hint of political disturbance,
no matter how small!

Yet despite their best efforts, "POPI" and Caiaphas
were unable to extinguish the ZEAL that had been kindled in the hearts of the Jews by the messianic uprisings that took place at the turn of the century - those of Hezekiah/Yechezkel the bandit chief, Sjim'on of Beraea, Athronges the shepherd boy, & Jude the Galilean! Not long after POPI had arrived in Yerushalayim, a new crop of preachers, prophets, bandits, & messiahs began traipsing through the socalled Holy Land, gathering their kind of disciples,
preaching liberation from Rome, & promising in their turn
THE COMING of THE Kingdom of G d!

In about 28 CE,
another ascetic preacher named Yochanan/Iohannos/John began his kind of baptizing people in the soothing rapidly flowing waters of the Yardeen River, thus initiating them into what he believed was THE TRUE NATION of Israel?

When YOH THE BAPTIST's popularity became too great to control,
Popi's TETRARCH @ Beraea, Herod Antipas, had him imprisoned and executed sometime
around 30 CE!

Just a couple of years later,
a woodworker from Natsereth named Yehoshua
led another band of disciples on a triumphant procession into Yerushalayim, where he assaulted the TEMPLE, overturned the tables of many moneychangers, & broke free countless sacrificial animals from THEIR CAGES. He, too, was captured & quickly sentenced to death by the perfide Pilate. Only 3 years after that uprising, in 36 CE, a messiah known only as "the Samaritan" gathered a group of followers atop Mount Gerizim, where HE claimed HE would re-veal "sacred vessels" hidden there
by Moshe?

POPI
responded again
with a detachment of Roman soldiers who climbed Gerizim &
cut this Samaritan's
faithful multitude
to pieces!

And ever since then all kinds of
insurgent sects of rebels managed
to copy these acts
or 'happenings' all
over the
world?
