Enclosed is a two-part novel inspired by the unusual goings-on in the Promised Land in the last two centuries BC. The first part of this book is set in the 160’s BC, when Israel was under Greek control and a Royal Decree promising death to any Jews who didn’t follow Greek ways had just been issued. From the mire, a prophecy emerged which predicted that a Messiah would come and liberate them, and true to its word, Judas Maccabeus appeared. He led a paltry band of under-armed and ill-equipped Jews against the mighty Greek army and, against all the odds, vanquished the enemy. Due to his heroics, many thought that he was the manifestation of the prophecy … many believed that Judas was the Messiah (119 pages).
The second part of the book is also included and is set around the time of Christ. Times had been good for the Jews, but the Roman menace was closing in. As they turned the screws, the Maccabees started to lose their shine and so the prophecy was rewritten. This led to a swathe of wannabe messiahs emerging to claim the title. Roman intervention leads to the most Western of these contenders being accepted as the true messiah.
This prophecy is real. It had been lost to time until this book. Its potency inspired the rebellion against the Greeks and then, 160 years later, led to the phenomenon of messianic contenders that emerged at the time of Jesus. And while some of the ideas expressed within these pages may seem extraordinary, they reanimate what actually happened 2,000 years ago and reveal the great effect Roman manipulation had on history. The Romans were master propagandists and their actions in those distant times have had a huge impact on the World in which we live.
Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen these days, usually based on spurious ideas, but this is the opposite. This was a conspiracy, but one that has been so well covered up that no-one will believe it.
