Some 2,000 years after the alleged event, religious scholars, despite their best efforts, have still found no proof that Jesus even existed. Although it might seem reasonable to suppose such a one as he walked the earth in the Middle East, historical records kept by the Romans (then in charge of Judea and Samaria) and contemporary chroniclers make no mention of him.

Of course not. Unlike the Moses of the fiction of Exodus: Gods and Kings who carried a sword (symbol of war/Barrabas), the Moses of history carried a staff (peace/Jesus).

The Jesus who walked the earth was and is likewise a man of peace and hence not likely to be noted in historical chronicles which tend to pay far more heed to sword wielders than those who carry the staff.

There was enough notoriousness about Jesus for Him to get well attested in His Jewish religious opponents’ works. Of course they aren’t going to be kind to Him and will distort things, but they can’t quite seem to rest their case with “no such person.”

” historical records kept by the Romans (then in charge of Judea and Samaria) and contemporary chroniclers make no mention of him.”

What about Tacitus?

CORNELIUS TACITUS (55 - 120 A.D.) Tacitus was a 1st and 2nd century Roman historian who lived through the reigns of over half a dozen Roman emperors. Considered one of the greatest historians of ancient Rome, Tacitus verifies the Biblical account of Jesus’ execution at the hands of Pontius Pilate who governed Judea from 26-36 A.D. during the reign of Tiberius.

“Christus, the founder of the [Christian] name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius. But the pernicious superstition, repressed for a time, broke out again, not only through Judea, where the mischief originated, by through the city of Rome also.” Annals XV, 44

When Jesus comes back he will bring a sword. Peace will only come after Satan and his followers have been destroyed by Him.
