FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
searched. Which means Silva may have known that this was a special
group, and also left them untouched.If the purpose of the rebel’s presence at Masada was to restore the
Hasmonean throne, then why did the war continue another six years
after the death of their leader Mennahem at the battle in Jerusalem.
The prevailing evidence suggested that there was someone at Masada
more senior than either Eleazar or Mennahem. Because of the
discovery of this document, it is now believed that the Zealots on
Masada were actually a bodyguard contingent for the Hasmonean
Royal Family, headed by Jesus, their king and Messiah, who they
swore to defend till the death.Another document which was discovered, had been written on the
evening of April 15, 73 AD, just after the Roman battering ram had
compromised the fortress gate, and was pulled back, to await the
Roman attack which would come at first light. The document was
signed by Yeshua ben Yákob ben Gennesareth, who described himself
as a “son of eighty years” (this would have placed his birth at 7 BC)
and the last heir of the Hasmonean (Maccabean) King of Israel.
Translated, the name was ‘Jesus of Gennesareth, son of Jacob.’ This
document was the 15th parchment to be discovered on Masada, and it
is believed that it was smuggled out of Israel by a rogue archaeologist,
and taken to Russia. Because it can not be located, the details given
about it were only hearsay. The contents were allegedly revealed to the
Vatican in February, 1967, because after a meeting between Podgorny
of the U.S.R.R. and Pope Paul, the Vatican did an about face, and
began supporting the Moslems in their quest for a homeland in
Palestine.Let me interject, that Yadin, in his book Masada: Herod’s Fortress and
the Zealots’ Last Stand says of the 25 bodies, that the “only feasible
assumption is that they were flung here irreverently by the Roman
troops when they cleared the bodies after their victory.” Plus, he never
mentions the discovery of a 15th scroll.So, how could the veracity of this story even be considered? There is a
developing trend that purports that Jesus was not the product of a
virgin birth, that He was a normal man with a messianic complex, who
was part of a conspiracy to fake his own death in order to fulfill Old
