The Gospel of Caesar And Caesar's Messiah
Francesco Carotta (born 1946 in Veneto, Italy) is an Italian writer who developed a theory that the historical Jesus was based on the life of Julius Caesar, that the Gospels were a rewriting of Roman historical sources, and that Christianity developed from the cult of the deified Caesar. This theory is generally ignored in academic circles.
Caesar’s Messiah is a 2005 book by Joseph Atwill that argues that the New Testament Gospels were written by a group of individuals connected to the Flavian family of Roman emperors: Vespasian, Titus and Domitian. The authors were mainly Flavius Josephus, Berenice, and Tiberius Julius Alexander, with contributions from Pliny the Elder. Although Vespasian and Titus had defeated Jewish nationalist Zealots in the First Jewish–Roman War of 70 AD, the emperors wanted to control the spread of Judaism and moderate its political virulence and continuing militancy against Rome. Christianity, a pacifist and pro-Roman authority religion, was their solution.

Joseph Atwill author of Caesar’s Messiah on Rodeph Emet TV explains that the Gospels are good news of military victory. Why would the Romans go to the trouble of writing and disseminating such a text? The Jewish War, culminating in the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, had devastated the Mediterranean economy, and the Romans were anxious to prevent another messianic outbreak, which could easily lead to another 500,000 deaths-as the Bar Kochba revolt would demonstrate a generation later. In order to make any reconstruction of the country lasting, the Romans needed to offer the Jews alternative stories that would distract them from the messianic messages inherent in the Torah, and persuade them to accept Roman values.
“There’s actually a fifth book to the Gospels and that’s ‘The Wars of the Jews’ which is the history of Flavius Josephus of Titus’s campaign. And what’s interesting is that, that book, though is no longer recognized essentially as part of the canon, was attached to some of the very early versions of the Gospels. And the reason they did that is because the early Christian scholars recognized that all of Jesus’s prophecies, his overt prophecies, are coming to pass in the war that Titus waged against the Jews.”
Joseph Atwill’s book, “Caesar’s Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus”, gives us a revolutionary new understanding of the origin of Christianity, who was the real Jesus (Son of Man), what is the New Testament, and how Christ’s second coming already happened. In this short explanatory video, Atwill presents concepts from The Flavian Signature chapter in the latest edition of his book. The Flavian Signature refers to the parallels Atwill discovered which link the Jesus story in the Gospels to the military campaign of the Roman Caesar Titus Flavius in the histories of Josephus. Atwill shows how these parallels prove that the story of Jesus is not historical, and that it was the Flavian court who authored the Gospels – thus leaving their “signature”, the “Flavian Signature”, in the Gospels for posterity to discover and recognize.

Another pseudo intellectual Atheist flapping his gums and taking all of the air out of the room with his arrogance
The gospel of Christianity is not a human invention. It is a historical narrative of Jesus Christ of His life, death and resurrections, followed by His ascension to heaven. Then in the sacred writings through various epistles & letters including the Acts of the Apostles are also told stories of the primitive church. There were many different authors which could not have been ‘commissioned’ by Caesar of Flavian or else. This theory of a ‘Gospel of Caesar’ is absurd. My comment remains polite as a respect to the effort by the presenter of this article, but it is nevertheless offending to the million of Christians who died in the Roman circus, because Christianity was conflicting the pagan gods of the Romans.
The gospel of Christianity is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. This is why it is called the New Testament. ‘Caesar’ nor ‘Flavian’ invented the ante-diluvien era, nor the post-diluvien, nor the captivity of Babylon et al. This giant narrative could not have been invented, because it was revealed. What part of ‘reveal’ don’t you understand?
The Jews limit themselves to the pentateuque (the five books of the Torah), which is still a revealed narrative. The author quotes the Old Testament in his demonstration that the gospel (of Caesar/Flavian) is a repetition to past event. Is that the authors ‘proof’? It proves nothing but the author’s bias at degrading the Gospel of Christianity by pretending that the gospel is a fraud invented for the political…

… It proves nothing but the author’s bias at degrading the Gospel of Christianity by pretending that the gospel is a fraud invented for the political benefiting of the taming of the Hebrews in favor of the Romans. The author of this piece discredit himself. I go as far as accusing the author of this piece of calumnious Christianophobia, in favor of the conventional enemy to Christ and his gospel, who are the Jews and their mignons which in this case is a renegade Catholic masking his heresy under the pretense of scholarly intellect and rationalism.
Now what about Islam? The Koran is a revealed narrative, with the difference that it was from a different god, named Allah. Some claimed that Islam was invented by already organized religions such as “Christian heretics” or “Jews” in order to destabilized Christianity. The answer is no. All those books (Koran, Gospels) were authored in either supernatural ways when it came from the Holy Ghost, the third person of the triune God who is the Holy Spirit of God, or through preternatural ways when it came from the devil and its demons.
END.
Yeshua said His kingdom is not of this earth. In this light we see that humanity clings to a god subject to the earth (flesh) or they call upon the Eternal Son of God and fellowship in the Spirit. I’m betting the second one is the way, the truth and the life!
