A Story of "Jesus Christ" (draft)

Truly God is great, and the God is only god for us!

Jesus Christ was born a generation after the defeat and death of Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt who fought over hegemony of the Mediterranean against the Roman Empire which was getting so immoral as with the royal families of Egypt and Israel.

Jesus Christ resigned his profession, a carpenter, and went out to a wild land so as to find his destiny. In 40 days of his quest of his identity, demons and devils tried hard to tempt him in vain.

Then, Jesus Christ cleansed himself in River Jordan and started to save people in his home region around the Galilee Lake and the upriver district of River Jordan.

He, as a homeless preacher, walked around from a village to a village to save many people suffering in poverty and injustice and also being misguided by sinful religious leaders

Depending on significance of circumstances, he performed a miracle as expression of his love to the poor, the diseased, the helpless, and various victims of society.

When he walked down along River Jordan to Jerusalem with many of his followers and tried to teach in the temple and save more people, the Roman Governor and religious leaders of Israelites were alerted.

They had abused Judas, one of Jesus' followers, and forced him to work as a spy for them. Jesus Christ knowing the betrayal of Judas would not avoid an arrest by Roman troops, so that the life of Judas was spared.

As identified as a self-appointed king of Israelites, Jesus Christ was sentenced to death for his insurgency against the Roman Empire and the authority of Israelites.

Jesus Chris was crucified to death; but on the third day, some women who were following him found that his tomb was empty and only a shroud was left mysteriously. They even reported, with awe, that they met angels around the tomb.

His followers later met Jesus Christ who revived and resurrected. The followers confirmed their belief in him that he is the Messiah, the son of God, and their Lord God.

While the Roman Empire became more and more immoral, his teaching was accepted by more and more people living a poor or ordinary life in the Empire, partly due to great work of his followers such as St. Paul.

The teaching of Jesus Christ led to the establishment of a new religion called Christianity, though Jesus Christ was born and lived as an Israelite who wished to reform Judaism. Christianity became a driving factor of development of the European Civilization after the collapse of the Roman Empire.

Even today, Europeans, European Americans, and those indoctrinated by them with Christianity believe in Jesus Christ, as their God, at least nominally.

None has ever presented a reasonable answer to a question as to why Jesus Christ was born a generation after the defeat and death of Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt who fought over hegemony of the Mediterranean against the Roman Empire which was getting so immoral as with the royal families of Egypt and Israel.

Nowadays, people seem to live like in the era of Caesar and Cleopatra. People are trying hard to be rich, get promotion, and become violently strong. When people in Europe and America come to look like more ancient Romans and Egyptians than early followers of Jesus Christ, it must be the time that Jesus Christ should return.

Conversely, if you find that the era of Caesar and Cleopatra was just like present day, you would reasonably understand why Jesus Christ was born in that era. So then, you would expect that the Son of God will return in present Age as this Age looks like the era of Caesar and Cleopatra.

If you really like to discuss the meaning of emergence of the Son of God at the specific age, namely 2000 years ago, more than anybody, I may call you "Pope."


(Jesus Christ had no money in his pocket during his mission. Indeed, the opposite word of "Jesus Christ" is "money." And a synonym of "Jesus Christ" is "love." Truly, you cannot buy favor of God. You cannot buy my favor, either. Then, what about your favor?)
