Jesus’ Life and Death are a Matter of Roman History

Tacitus (56 AD – 120 AD) Wrote about Him

It’s an inconvenient truth: Jesus was alive and died by crucifixion during Tiberius’ reign as Emperor of Rome (14 AD – 37 AD). I mentioned previously that Rome had scrupulous records of everything that happened in the Roman Empire. That’s why I could assert that Tiberius Julius Alexander would have had access to Pontius Pilate’s records in Jerusalem, about ten years after Jesus’ crucifixion and death. Thirty years later, Nero blamed the burning of Rome on Christians living there, as scapegoats.

Sed non ope humana, non largitionibus principis aut deum placamentis decedebat infamia, quin iussum incendium crederetur. ergo abolendo rumori Nero subdidit reos et quaesitissimis poenis adfecit, quos per flagitia invisos vulgus Chrestianos appellabat. auctor nominis eius Christus Tibero imperitante per procuratorem Pontium Pilatum supplicio adfectus erat; repressaque in praesens exitiabilis superstitio rursum erumpebat, non modo per Iudaeam, originem eius mali, sed per urbem etiam, quo cuncta undique atrocia aut pudenda confluunt celebranturque. igitur primum correpti qui fatebantur, deinde indicio eorum multitudo ingens haud proinde in crimine incendii quam odio humani generis convicti sunt.

Translation:

But all human efforts, all the lavish gifts of the emperor, and the propitiations of the gods, did not banish the sinister belief that the conflagration was the result of an order. Consequently, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judæa, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind.

With Nero being one of the previous lives of Donald Trump, it is an established pattern to blame problems on immigrants from other parts of the world. What goes around, comes around again.
