Bob DeLacy Jr.’s Reviews > Killing Jesus: A History > Status Update

With John the Baptist gone Jesus of Nazareth had become the threat. His healing,bringing dead to life again. His preaching. His questioning about what they are doing and it wasn't living by the truth. It's hard to understand, but the pharisees weren't about truth. Meanwhile, the disciples didn't understand when Jesus said he was to die, but in three days, he would rise. Jesus didn't bring war he brought peace.

The hardest part of reading the Bible is the death of God's people and prophets like John the Baptist. I think Herod, as brutal as he was,was weak in front of his wife. Jesus death was hard, too

John the Baptist not only recognized Jesus and baptized him,but he wasn't afraid to yell in the winds about Antipas taking his nrothers wife. I didn't like the way John died, but he fulfilled God's purpose for him.
Romans were a very sinful nation. No wonder it fell. Now I worry about the United States.

The nephew of Julius Caesar Octivian ruled Rome and viciously eliminated his enemies, including Marc Antony and Cleopatra, who committed suicide to prevent their capture. Rome was brutal .
Young Jesus staying behind in Jerusalem had Mary and Joseph worried. They traveled the caravan that went around Samaria. Surprised by His response when they found him.
Learned about Judas of Gamala, who was crucified
too.

Reading about Julius Caesar, the merciless conquerer and his death. Didn't know if I felt what a monster he was to feeling sorry for him when they ganged up on him to kill him.
