Will you vote for the Iron Matrix of lies, subjugation, serfdom, your own enslavement, and maybe your own death by nuclear war?
In 66 AD, Gamala was an ancient city-fortress built on the slopes of a ragged, dragon-tooth mountain. The city itself spread upward along the very steep gradient and clung there like a stone carpet. Gamala was walled and considered invulnerable.
Gamala was the last bastion of freedom in Judea. It was the last outpost of truth, justice, and the way of humanity.
The invading power, however, sought to conquer and subjugate all Humankind to their suppressive rule, their many false gods, their inhuman laws, and their national blood sport of obliteration in the arena.
Just wow! on the story of Josephus. This upends everything we think we know about Judea in the time of the Romans and before.
Any historians here who can corroborate this?
Thank you for this. I could never understand why Josephus was able to survive and prosper in Rome. It just didn’t make sense. Now, it does. Shame!
And this explains why atheists can claim, “Josephus makes no mention of Christ.”. With the followers of Christ proliferating throughout the Empire amongst the slaves and peasants a propagandist traitor wouldn’t mention the threat to the Empire.
