Part 3: ep 2?
Holy city, Jerusalem - east gate of the temple mount
Jesus Asked one of his disciples to fetch him a donkey, arrived in the holy city the exact way the old testament understood the masked would arrive as well as the timing. The timing of his arrival was in it's self an act of defiance as it was pass over, a massive celebration in the Jewish religion.
Jesus Didn't agree with the people making money out people visiting the temple. They would make money by selling people 'sacred' doves. Jesus went and turned over some of these money makers tables.
Ep 3:
Why did Jerusalem have walls?
Jesus actions cost him his life.
Judas was told by Jesus to go do what he had to do. For Jesus had made the announcement that one of his disciples would betray him.
For centuries now, Judas has been a by word for treachery.
Blood sweating. Hematrimosis, under great amount of stress the something bursts leaking into the sweat glands. Only known to happen when people think they're about to die. Jesus knew his time was up. Maybe Jesus hatched a plan with judas? As he undoubtably had time to escape, so he could have run away to the desert.
Jesus signed his own death warrant by saying that he is equal to god. Therefore he was convicted on a charge of blasphemy. Jesus would have had to be aware the punishment of blasphemy. Personally I think he wanted to die, and wanted to go out with a bang or something. Make a statement of his death.
A very smart man proved that Jesus couldn't have been nailed to the cross by his hands as in a matter of 10 minutes would have ripped straight through his hands. He would have had to have seat or leg rest, or or have his feat nailed to the sides of the tree.
His own family said Jesus was mad.
