This book provides insights most people have never thought about. The Roman Empire ruled the world at the time of Jesus (Yeshua). Well documented, with 61 footnotes, this book brings into perspective how the political climate between the Roman Empire and the Jewish people caused a rift between the Christian Church and the Jewish people. This rift has lasted for 2000 years. It also provides insights on how God used those circumstances to teach people around the world about His plan for redemption. Amazingly, today, with the formation of the nation of Israel, God is bringing new information to light, right now, in the 21st century. Information and archaeology hidden for nearly 2000 years, the scriptures are unfolding before our very eyes. He is calling people from around the world to be "Bridges", connecting the ancient Hebrew texts of the Bible with the New Testament scriptures, opening hearts and minds around the world in ways not seen since the time of Messiah. This book will forever change your attitude toward scripture and your role as a believer.
