HISTORY’S FOGOTTEN BRAVEHEART 137temporarily abandon his mild mannered ways and patient demeanor? What was the danger that he sawin the future for mankind if the leaders of Israel were to be permitted to grow in power and in influence?If it is accepted that he held the power of heaven in his hands, then it must be accepted as well that hecould have chosen to be born at any age before or after. What was it about that particular age and aboutthat particular society that was of such importance that he insisted upon being born then? Clearly, hemust have seen something that humanity did not see, something of such seriousness that to delay hisbusiness even a generation would have resulted in dramatic consequences for the future.The answer to these questions surrounding the clash of ideologies between Christ and the leadership ofIsrael really are quite simple in their nature, which may explain much of why this answer has beenmissed. This understanding does not hinge on weighty, over-intellectualized arguments that have beenput forth by detractors whose agenda has been to muddy the waters of public understanding. And althoughthe explanation for this clash may come as a surprise to a few, to others however (and most notably to hisideological enemies who today are working feverishly to make the world forget about this war that tookplace) the answer does not come as a surprise at all.“ ‘If we let him continue on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away ourpositions and our nation.’ And Caiphas, the high priest answered them saying ‘Do you not realize that it is betterthat one man die than that the whole nation perish?’” John 11:48-51Here the student of political science can see plainly what were the roots of contention that existed betweenthe peasant carpenter and the ruling classes of Israel. And as much as there are those who would try todeny that this contention had political elements to it, nevertheless such an argument falls on its facewhen compared to the facts. Clearly the Sanhedrin had big plans, not the least of which encompassedthrowing off Roman rule and supplanting it with themselves as the commissars of the Israeli state whichwould encompass the lands between the Nile and the Euphrates. In addition it is plainly revealed thatthey were in a state of panic over the effect of Christ’s teachings, to the point that they were willing toassassinate him in order to prevent their being robbed of the influence they wielded over the Jewishpeople who were the stepping-stones in their ascent to power. What the Sanhedrin had been plottingthrough the medium of religious sentiments, and which was threatened by the message of liberation thatChrist preached was a political system wherein the Pharisees would rule, and fueled by a new code ofethics which elevated the Jewish race to a level of at least de facto superiority over all others. This newsystem of ethics, the embryonic stage of the now codified Babylonian Talmud that forms the lifeblood ofmodern day Israel’s political ideology, was the source of Christ’s condemnation of what he famouslyreferred to as the “leaven of the Pharisees.” This mindset, with its altered sense of laws governing rightand wrong, was a theme which he attacked regularly in his mission, characterizing it as a perverse set ofmorals which, by its twists and turns, had “made the law of God of no effect.” It becomes clear then,based upon this passage, how it was that the Sanhedrin viewed Christ and his message of liberation, adepiction that has been carried forth in modern day Judaism and its political twin, Zionism, by the Talmudicdepiction of Jesus as being a man who “seduced Jews under the sponsorship of a foreign, Gentile power.”(Sanhedrin 43a)It is within this context then that one comes to better understand the deeper implications of Christ’sconflict with the leaders of Israel in his day, and why such an effort has been made to de-legitimize andde-emphasize it in the present age. This sense of amnesia that has been imposed upon the world, (and inparticular upon the Christian West) may seem to be a trivial matter to the uninterested, but in actuality itholds the fate of humanity in the balance. Put in plain terms, this vital and damning piece of informationthat his enemies are desperately attempting to conceal through their control over the outlets of information
