FINDING THE REAL BROTHER J.
with author and historian Ralph Ellis
Who has Ralph found? A King from a very influential family with extraordinary bloodline provenance. A High Priest. The leader of the Jewish Revolt in 70 A.D. A radical to the Jewish old guard. Despised by the Jewish High Court; feared by Rome; and known by all of Judea. A prince who became a king in the public eye.
And what Ralph presents is paradigm-shifting. He finds this king in the historical record and brings scriptural history alive in a fresh, revealing new way. Ralph posits, in prodigious detail, that the historical Jesus of the new testament was, for all intents and purposes:
King of the World. Literally.
The ancient world, anyway.
Lineage:
Great Grandmother: Cleopatra, Queen/Pharaoh of Egypt
Great grandfather: Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome
Grandmother: Persian Queen
Grandfather: Persian King
Mother: Queen Helena of Edessa and defacto Queen of Judea
Father: King of Edessa
Wife: Mary Bophus, the richest woman in Judea.
Rightful Titles:
Throne of Egypt
Throne of Rome
Throne of Persia
Throne of Edessa
Throne of Judea (Jewish)
Rightful Lands:
Egypt
Rome
Persia
Syrian Empire
Judea
In other words, King of the whole Ancient world married to the richest woman in Judea. No humble carpenter and prostitute were they, according to Ellis' masterworks.
