Roman-Jewish War, which began in Galilee and ended in Jerusalem? Isn't it interesting that Josephus claims to have been a child prodigy, who, at the age of 14 was frequently sought out by the high priests on his opinion on points of the law? Isn't it interesting that the characters of the N.T. and the Roman-Jewish War intermingle, even though the events alledgedly took place 40 years apart. (Joseph, Mary, James, Simon, Judas, John, Jesus, Mathew, Lazarus, Caesar,etc) Isn't it interesting that Josephus was adopted into the royal Flavian family by Vespasian after the war and given an apartment in the emporer's palace where he was employed as an historian? Isn't it interesting that the first thing Titus did after inheriting the throne from Vespasian was to have his father diefied, thereby making himself the son of God? Isn't it interesting that events in the alledged missionary career of Jesus paralel events in the military careers of Titus and Josephus?
