ugly infant part2

part2

[until now an ugly infant named Ricky was born and was blessed with wisdom]

Moun spoke gently to his queen, "Our son is so wonderful and he will be so wise." She smiled weakly and said "I only ask that we do not cut him." Moun was surprised, "no parents cut their child!" 

!!

the queen explained "your parents cut you in the ceremony called circumcision, but please protect our son from this pain."

"That is different" the king was about to protest, but then he saw his wife so weak- so he promised her he would consult with Panor.

All this somewhat comforted the pretty Queen.

A nurse whispered, "so horrible! something unnatural caused the curse: having an ugly infant." But King Moun heard. He hurried to consult with Panor and asked can it be that we played with fate causing this awful curse of an ugly child?

Panor explained "I knew that you would have a child that was a cripple who could not walk hence I was happy that you had no child until now. When you asked me to assist in having the child I blended two potions one for guaranteeing a boy and the other to minimize the flaw, so the deformed face is what remains of a much greater flaw.

Moun thought of the horrible face and considered if the potion caused the damage or playing with fate forcing a child not fated to be born, yet he trusted Panor and remembered his wise helpful advice in the past.

Moun then asked "is it true that i am missing a piece of me?" Panor raised an eyebrow and said "i do not notice anything missing... 2 eyes 2 ears hmm let me consult my crystal ball."

   they walked into the room filled with pots on fires and panor stirred some then sat by the crystal ball. He said something in latin "vidus mumble-mumble-is" and then announced "yes it is true you are not whole!" panor paused and said nervously "I do not mean you are bad" 

Moun felt shock and horror that his parents would cut him.

I am not whole!, he thought and then Moun tried to cover for his own status of lack and almost said "so it is not bad?" but he was a brave king and hurried to tell the nurses that there would be no circumcision surgery.

Two years passed and this child did not begin to speak. not even to say "mama"

on the night before his second birthday the queen was very upset. she sat with ricky and said "you ricky" and touched ricky's shirt by the heart. ricky just stared back. she put ricky's finger on her face and said "mama I mama" when ricky just stared, she began crying.

Ricky made a face and said "I know! you think I was born yesterday?"

the queen felt such relief and then realized just HOW wise her son was.the queen explained that she had been worried when he did not say anything so Ricky began to speak and said many wise things.

Also all his actions charmed everyone despite his crooked face. the nurse combed a tuft hair downward to minimize the crookedness of his face and soon he was lovingly called "Ricky with the Tuft" [tuft means a group of strands of hair together]

  part 1 The Comfort of the Fairy

420 words

King Moun was a tall and brave king. His hair was fiery red and he grew his beard long. Every morning after a king size breakfast he would meet with his ministers to discuss issues in the kingdom. After one hour he would exercise and then practice his sword skills against the teachers.

After these strenuous activities he was ready for a king size lunch, and also ready to lead his soldiers in defending his small kingdom of Drar. His skill with the sword was well known and once a year he would allow the generals to parry with wooden swords and the best would fight him.

His first child was now 4 years old and her name was Arthin. She was a charming princess but he feared he would not have a son to replace him as king. He asked the wizard of Drar to assist him to have a son and the wizard gave him a drink of a liquid almost black yet bubbling with a gentle hiss. Moun asked the wizard whose name was Panor to sip first. Panor sipped and gave it to the king.

King Moun tried to drink it but the bubbles made it difficult to swallow, so he sipped the drink slowly. It was sweet with a flavor he could not explain nor compare to any other drink. Halfway through the glass he felt air from his stomach rising. He trusted Panor and said I feel the bubbles rising. Panor smiled and encouraged him to let the bubbles out so King Moun opened his mouth and burped out a long loud belch.

That night King Moun told his exquisite queen, that he had drank a potion to have a son and she was very happy.

About nine months later a prince was born and the king was very excited and full of joy until he saw his son was so ugly. One ear was significantly lower than the eyes and the other ear. The hair was also longer on that side reaching until the ear. The eyes and nose were like a monkey's eyes and nose. The face did not have human form. Moun pulled his long beard in worry. He called for the castle fairy! She blessed the child and said, "You shall be named Ricky and I bless you with Great Wisdom"

Then she whispered a spell so only the baby would hear and remember the secret message, "You may give wisdom to the woman who you would like to marry."

Jesus in Nazareth

4 BC  Jesus returned from egypt to galilee when archelaus became ruler in 4 BC mathew 2

4 bc archelaus ruled judea for 9 years and was cruel to judaea and even samaria

4 bc antipas rule in galilee by decision of augustus emperor to divide

3 bc jesus at least age 2 and live in nazereth

2 bc jesus at least age 3

1 bc jesus at least age 4

no 0 bc

no 0 ad=because if a date is choosen as the end of bc only possible one year before that date=1 bc and 1 year after that point=1 ad

1 ad jesus at least age 4 [4,3,2,1,1 from january 1, 4 bc until january 1, 1 ad only 4 years]

6 the ninth year of archelaus [4bc-6ad]  augustus emporer removes archelaus

6 judaea under direct roman rule and soon after this: revolt in galilee disturbing jesus' childhood in galilee area in city nazareth, revolt mentioned in acts 5.37=jewish war page 126

14 augustus died and tiberius emporer

14 ad tiberius emporer [he appoints pilate]

29 in 15 of tiberius john prepares luke 3.1

now it is clear that the end of matthew chapter 2 that "jesus lived in nazareth" refers to living in nazareth from 4 bc when archelaus approved, until john prepares in 15 of tiberius=more than 30 years

if so the number 30 in luke is an estimate- a low estimate

while jesus lives in nazareth the major events were

archelaus cruel in judaea

archelaus removed 6 ad antipas continues in galilee

philip founded caeseria near jordan river called caeseria philipi

revolt in galilee about tax! jesus said pay tax

augustus emperor replaced by tiberius

john prepares=matthew 3 - in 15 of tiberius as luke 3 after jesus lived in nazareth 33 years

trailer next: pilate and the statues

anarchy while Jesus in egypt

King Herod died 4 BC after Jesus had been born see Matthew 2

Herod had massacred cities  as recorded in Jewish war Josephus page 121 match Matthew 2.16

Jesus went to Egypt and then in 4 BC Herod died. archelaus was to rule but needed approval from emperor Augustus

some Jews attacked archelaus messengers and in the battle 3000 Jews die page 114

this was when many Jews "came" to Jerusalem for the holiday Passover match Luke 2 

when archelaus went to Rome, sabinus of Syria took palace page 115

weeks pass and during the holiday of Pentecost Jews rebel and many claim throne

3 camps around the Romans so sabinus begs for help

4 BC rebellion in Judea and battle in temple Jews weak but climb columns and throw rocks down killing many Romans until the romans burn the columns flames kill and force descend into battle. romans defeat the jews descending and on ground

Jews do not submit but gather ANGRY FURIOUS

those ancient jews rebel and jerusalem in siege 

many battles 

in Seporis in Galilee, Judas and helpers stole weapons

mobs burn palace of Jerico many battles and fires

raids to kill roman soldiers ans some Jews too

a mob attacked with spears killing 40 roman soldiers until reinforcements come from Berut

Varus captures Seporis and burns it enslaving population

next Varus plunders Sapo [+D]

when he marched on Jerusalem the rebellious Jews surrendered

in absence of archelaus romans punish leaders of rebellion and crucify around 2000

meanwhile in rome archelaus asks Augustus for approval to rule

 8000 jews in rome support Arc

he lists Herod's crimes and cruelty: to kill whole cities

match Bethlehem Mat. 2.16

also pain many so much that they envied the dead

!

Augustus divides  and Archelaus ruler of Juda and Samaria  in 4 BC

match Mat 2.20-22

archelaus rule 4 BC and Jesus returns from Egypt to Galilee ruled by Antipas

archelaus brutal to Judea and Samaria  but Jesus in Galilee

in 9 year =6 AD Augustus emperor banished archelaus - judea direct roman rule page 126

archelaus had divorced to marry Glaphyra

Augustus died 14 AD and Ttiberius emperor see Luke 3.1 

Tiberius appoints Pilate

next: jesus in galilee 30 years and revolt there see acts 5.37 and jewish war p. 126

jesus ' birth

we know that jesus was born in the time of King Herod

since herod was king until the year called 4 BC hence jesus was born before 4 BC

as explained in a previous post

herod was a tyrant and according to histrical books such as "jewish war" by josephus page 121 herod massacred many cities

this matches the story in Matthew that herod massacred the babies of bethlehem matthew 2.16

then herod died and in the anarchy great battles took place

[i once met someone who accused the new testament of being a book of lies with the following claim: IF herod killed so many babies then the history books would say it"

therefore he claimed the new testament was false

as mentioned herod's massacres are recorded and we see that this poor guy was quite ignorant of historical books]

the battles did not affect jesus who had fled from herod to egypt until archelaus began ruling in the year we call 4 BC then jesus returned to "israel" matthew 2.20-22 to galilee, but not to the area ruled by archelaus by the authority of Augustus emperor. Archelaus was very cruel for his 9 year dominion page 123 [and his wife's name Glaphyra page 124]

about the war between herod's death and archelaus' approval by emporer Augustus

deicide- correction

on the issue of deicide= killing god deo=god instead of pesti+cide [kill] or hom+icide

i must correct the source 

jesus said noone takes my life

john 10.18

so no one did deicide
