A Grain of Wheat Or A Shadow Parameter

Mr. Kase Hideaki (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C04E6D6133BF932A05753C1A964948260), a prominent diplomatic analyst of Japan and cousin of Ms. Yoko Ono, wrote in his book on Israelis that there is one story every Israeli child is taught without exception.
The following is my version of the story:
When the Roman Empire was going to destroy the nation of Israel in Palestine around 70 A.D., Israelites decided to confine themselves all inside castellated walls of Jerusalem to defend the temple to the death against Roman troops.
However, wisely, one elder thought about future of the people. He then remembered a holy messenger and prophet, Jesus of Nazareth.
He, of course, knew how Jesus Christ had delivered a teaching on "a holy grain of wheat," how He had been interrogated by a Roman Governor, and how He had resurrected to save faith of His followers.
The wise elder announced his own death, got into a coffin, and had his followers carry it outside Jerusalem for burial, which was the only way to get out of Jerusalem under siege.
Appropriately far from the castellated walls of Jerusalem, he resurrected from the coffin and walked to the Roman base to seek for an interview with the Roman supreme commander in charge.
When he was admitted and saw the supreme commander, the Israelite elder greeted him in a manner with deferential courtesy requested before a Roman Emperor.
The Roman supreme commander, pleasantly bewitched with the extreme homage, asked the elder why he saluted him as if he had been a Roman Emperor. The elder respectfully replied: "Because I know by the grace of God your Excellency will soon become Emperor of the Empire."
The Roman supreme commander, well informed of Israelite piety, pleasantly listened to the Israelite elder who respectfully asked for only one thing: one school for Israelite Children to be allowed to exist and run after the war in Palestine.
The Roman supreme commander, even not contemptuously disregarding such a fatuous entreaty in the middle of war, pleasantly accepted the old man's wet appeal, while dreaming of his future promotion to the throne of the Great Roman Empire.
When the dream of the Roman supreme commander came true several years after the fatal war for the nation and the people of Israel as well as their religion, he now Emperor allowed one school for Israelite children in Palestine to exist and run so as to commemorate the prophecy of God, though, foreign to himself.
The "single holy grain of wheat," namely a school for national education, resulted in success of preservation of cultural heritage, religious customs, and spiritual practices of Israelites, which promised the survival of Israelites for next 1900 years with the holy books as their home land.

Truly, the memory of Jesus Christ secretly having been passed down among scholars in Jerusalem helped the elder help his fellow people around A.D. 70.
Indeed Jesus Christ had been pressed by the Roman Governor with a question as to whether He was the King of Israelites which He on the moment had taken up so as to accept the death as "a holy grain of wheat," and then later resurrected to go out of the tomb to further preach.
However, it must have been unwritten principle for Israelite scholars that nobody spoke of the name, Jesus of Nazareth who died as a man around A.D. 30.
And thus, even today, Israelite children are never told the name, Jesus of Nazareth, in this context, though they become familiar with the names of the Israelite heroic elder (Rabban Yochanan ben. Zaccai) and the Roman supreme commander or an Emperor (Titus Flavius Vespasianus).

Judaism before Moses was different from that after Moses. Judaism after Jesus is different from that before Jesus; or basically, without emergence of Jesus Christ, no Judaism would be possibly so well preserved and develop positively in parallel with evolution of Christianity.
Israelite scholars after 70 A.D. must be very different from those before 70 A.D., since they were all followers of graduates of the humble school in Palestine, authorization of which the heroic Israelite elder had obtained from the then future Emperor around 70 A.D. by secretly following Jesus' teachings.

(Even in the Old Testament, there were no descriptions on Sumerians; but without episodes taken over from the Mesopotamia Civilization, the Old Testament must lack the holy authenticity of the origin of Israelites, without which they had been just one of Arab tribes who could not be the first blessed tribe with civilization by the God.
The same thing can be said about contemporary Hinduism. It secretly followed Buddha's teachings and well developed, though it now regards Buddha as nothing but one of Hindu gods.
Indeed, Jesus Christ is "a holy grain of wheat" or "a shadow parameter" for development of Judaism, too, just like Buddha is for Hinduism.
As for Japan, without such "a holy grain of wheat" or "a shadow parameter," it could not have been so successful in history. But, only a few foreigners could ever realize such a secret of Japan. Their prejudice on Japan is sometimes worse than that of the Roman Empire on Judaism.
Now, is there "a holy grain of wheat" or "a shadow parameter" around you? If you cannot find any, you may be the one, though you do not have to die or show extreme homage to somebody for this cause.)
