Book Cover & Preview Text
This work is an investigative commentary on Flavius Josephus’s literary works, held side-by-side with the Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the Apostles. Did Flavius Josephus induce a schism within the Yeshua Messianic movement, which erupted into open conflict in A.D. 65 with his publishing of the Gospel of Luke and The Acts of the Apostles? The undercurrents of this schism had been simmering as rumors and innuendos since A.D. 49. This schism within the Yeshua/Jesus movement is evident and plain in the competing gospel writings of the “New Testament.” These contrary writings, such as 1st Corinthians vs. the Epistle of James, the Gospel of Luke’s version of the story of Lazareth vs. the story of Lazareth in the Gospel of John, and the contrasting narratives of the Nativity in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, highlight the complexity of the schism. By A.D. 62, this schism was nearly in a state of civil war. Was the event known as the “Abomination of Desolation,” as spoken of in the book of Daniel, the ignition point of this simmering schism? Was the oratory performance by the so-called “apostle” Paul on the steps of the “Holy Place” on that day, with the statement that “Gamaliel, the leader of the Pharisees, kept the law of Moses in the perfect manner in which Moses delivered it” the match to the lighter fluid? Was Paul an actor in Flavius Josephus’s screenplay known as The Acts of the Apostles? Was Paul covertly planted early into the Yeshua/Jesus movement by Flavius Josephus, and was Paul the most crucial co-conspirator of Josephus? In that performance, Paul completely denies Yeshua’s testimony of the Pharisees. With assurance, this is an abominable statement to anyone who faithfully followed Yeshua’s form of Judaism during that time. These are some of the many side-by-side literary comparisons we will inspect. We will also investigate Flavius Josephus’s involvement in the Piso conspiracy, which ended the reign of Nero. We will look into the Masoretic text, the Book of Daniel, and examine its omission of the “Bel and the Dragon” narrative and deliberate on the significance of that omission. We will do a comparative study of the Dead Sea Scroll library versions on these same topics. All these comparative events go hand in hand to elucidate the true history of the nation of Israel, a history that has been actively hidden for a very long time and is known as a “time’s time” by the prophets.

About the Book
In 158 B.C., the line of Merari of the tribe of Levi, “the Hasmoneans,” broke away from the Aaronic line of Levi of the house of “Zadok.” After twenty years of protest, the Zadok line took up residence at Wadi Qumran in the eastern Judean desert, continuing their protest. The two feuded over the right to who should operate the Temple of Jerusalem even up to its destruction in 70 A.D. That other line of Levites, “The Hasmonaeans,” ruled the temple in Jerusalem. Most biblical scholars and academics have hidden this rudimentary history. They have defused this history into mere segmented factoids and pigeonholed this controversy into a nothing-to-see, non-event. As a result, most Jewish Yeshiva and Christian Seminary students of either persuasion have little idea of the controversy within the covenant of Moses concerning these two groups. That controversy is directly tied to the “Gospel of the Kingdom” that Yeshua of Nazareth taught. Those in Judea at that time knew all too well of this controversy. It is well documented. It was the issue day, with an estimated 5000 Hasmonaean supporting rabbis pitting themselves against 4000 teachers of the righteousness of Essene persuasion. The two wrestled for the soul of the nation. “The sons of light,” the Essenes, lost this wrestling match, just as foretold by the prophet Daniel. What followed was the wandering of the Jewish people without a homeland for nearly 2000 years. The key to understanding these two groups of people is only found in Yeshua of Nazareth kingdom parables; they are the history lessons of then and now for every soul. What part did Flavius Josephus play in these events? Is Luke the New Testament writer a nom de plume for Flavius Josephus? Was he a traitor to Israel or a savior of Rabbinic Judaism? Did he subvert the truth of the Yeshua movement? This book delivers those ancient documents and written evidence of those historical facts. Come and see our history.
