EXCERPT
It is estimated that between half a million and a million people were killed, mostly Jewish. One of the reasons so many Jews were killed was because many of the troops were Roman soldiers from Turkey and Syria. They had a long history and inbred hatred for the Jews and didn’t care who they killed. Old, young, women and children, no one was safe. They wanted all Jews dead. They massacred much of the remaining Jewish population without mercy.
At first, Titus wanted the Temple to be spared, but his soldiers wanted the complete destruction of Jerusalem and ultimately, the destruction of the Temple was complete down to the last few bricks, along with almost every important structure in Jerusalem. Nothing was spared, no libraries, no history, and no religious institutions. Thousands of Jews were enslaved and sent to the mines in Egypt. Thousands of other young Jewish men were sent to the arenas to be butchered for the amusement of the Roman Public. To put it simply, Rome had no respect for Jews or any form of Jewish history. To them, it needed to be destroyed.
The reason I bring this up is that it shows that a vast amount of history, especially about Jesus, was destroyed and everybody who knew about it or him were probably killed. I had to read as much as I could to make educated guesses as even the Bible was rewritten, and no one really knows who did it. In all reality, all we have are bits and pieces. So yes, in this book I did the best that anybody could. I tried to be open and not swayed. Many, many hours of thinking, reading, and trying to be logical went into this, because most of the truth is no longer known.
So much history was lost forever and only because Jesus was such a strong figure was anything left of him. Luckily for us it was. Jesus gave us faith, and faith can never be truly lost. So, if we could go back in time, what would we find? A love for Jesus and his words that will be never be lost, along with faith. Please enjoy my version. I almost feel like I didn’t write this story. I’m just telling history.
