"even Solomon in all his glory" - Time of the Advent of Christ Jesus



Around the Imperial Palace, Tokyo



Time of the Advent of Christ Jesus

Roughly speaking, Judaists had nothing to do with the glory of Alexander the Great (356 BC to 323 BC).

Judaists had nothing to do with Caesar (100 BC to 44 BC) and Cleopatra (69 BC to 30 BC).

But Christ Jesus was born while Augustus (63 BC to AD 14) presided over the Roman Empire as the first emperor of Rome.

It is unthinkable that God sent His Son to the human world very randomly without checking the proceeding of the human history.  One of the mysteries about Christ Jesus is why God had to send His son to the mankind precisely around AD 1 when Rome got its first emperor while perfectly occupying the regions east of the Euphrates, the western part of the Realm of Alexander the Great and his successors.

When looking back to this 2000-year history of mankind, it is clear that the course of the history was set by these men: Alexander the Great, Caesar, and Augustus.  However, in parallel with the political, social, economic, and cultural trends of the world with Western Europe as the leading player, spiritual, religious, and scientific trends were framed by Christianity and Judaism with Islam as a major supplement factor.

However, when Augustus became emperor of Rome without conquering forces in the east of  the Euphrates or even when Alexander the Great decided to return to the West without crossing the Indus River to venture into India, the fate of the Roman Empire or the Mediterranean European power seems to have been set.  These Europeans could not conquer the East.  They could not occupy Persia and India.  So, when Augustus became emperor of Rome, the Empire was destined to be devastated by Asian tribes, which actually happened as the Huns destroyed the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century.

Though the Eastern Empire survived this invasion by nomadic Northern Asian tribe, it lost glory and influential power that had been once comparable to that established by Alexander the Great.

After the Western Roman Empire, the Kingdom of the Franks rose to occupy the regions north of the Alps from the 5th century to the 9th century along with diffusion of Christianity.  Since then, Western Europe developed with Christianity as its religious backbone.  However, Western Europeans could not conquer Asia and the world with the counterbalancing powers such as Muslims, Mongolians, etc. till the Industrial Revolution gave modern weapons to them.

Put simply, without the emergence of Christ Jesus when Augustus became emperor of Rome, Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire should have been more confused and disorganized.  Even the Huns might have had more serious and lasting impacts on Western Europe.  In order to make products of the ancient Greek Civilization survive and inherited, Western Europe must have been restored with Christianity as its backbone after the fall of the Western Roman Empire.  Indeed, legacies of the ancient Greek Civilization was the most important basis of the Industrial Revolution that started in England in the middle 18th century.

When it became clear that the Roman Empire, just being newly shaped by Augustus as the overwhelming empire extending from the Mediterranean to England, could not occupy Asia with a possibility that the Empire would be destroyed by northern Asians centuries later, God sent Christ Jesus to Palestine under the rule of Romans.

In other word, God used the Roman Empire as a vehicle to disseminate His word or Christianity.  And for this purpose, He had to send Christ Jesus when Augustus became Roman emperor.  The timing must have been so exact.

Anyway, the Pope and any other responsible persons must explain why Christ Jesus came to the world around AD 1.

The time of the Advent of Christ Jesus must have been profoundly chosen by God, probably, for the above stated reason.

Mat 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Mat 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
