The Coming of Vespasian There are many rumors of Jesus visiting India or England and there is good reason for this, because both areas were not under the control of the Romans. While Jesus may have visited India as a teenager, it is almost certain that he visited England. The Jesus in India rumors are bolstered by the fact that Apollonius visited India twice. However, the sovereignty of England was about to change. Under the rule of Claudius the Romans successfully invaded England, in 43 CE, and set up a base for deeper incursions into the British Isles. During this campaign a young Roman equestrian named Vespasian led the army of the Romans in the south of England which included the modern counties of Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall which legend tells us Jesus visited along with Joseph of Arimathaea. "British resistance was led by Togodumnus and Caratacus, sons of the late king of the Catuvellauni, Cunobelinus."—Wikipedia It was Josephus who led the Jewish defense of the city of Jotapata in Galilee against the Romans. After his army was defeated and he was captured it is claimed that he predicted that Vespasian would become Emperor of Rome and his life was spared. This is not quite true. It seems that Vespasian had already enlisted the aid of a seer by the name of Apollonius who was the one who made the prediction which helped spare the life of Josephus. Tacitus says, "Carmel is the name both of a god and a mountain; but there is neither image nor temple of the god; such are the ancient traditions; we find there only an altar and religious awe."— Hist. xi. 78, 4. It also appears, from his account, that Vespasian offered sacrifice on Mount Carmel, where Basilides, mentioned hereafter, c. vii., "predicted his success from an inspection of the entrails." As a Pharisaic Jew, it is clear that Josephus would not be scrying ovine entrails. According to "Antiquity Unveiled," that seer was Apollonius.

Apparently Vespasian had already heard the legend of Jesus while in Cornwall. He then formed an alliance with his son Titus, Apollonius, Damis, the scribe Lucius of Cyrene and Josephus to carry out the plot of the Pisos. It was this group that authored the original Christian scriptures during the late 60s. The original Epistles of Paul know nothing of Jesus of Nazareth only about a Christ who always existed, and mention of a crucifixion or hanging from a tree and ascension or resurrection. There is no reference as to the life or teachings of Jesus, since Apollonius had as yet not created the full story. The epistles were taken from the 9 texts that Apollonius had originally brought back from India. So, when Christians talk about Christianity in the mid first century, it is impossible as the passion story of Jesus of Nazareth had as yet not been created. It is only during the War with the Jews that the story of the life of Jesus Christ is concocted. Much as Atwill surmised, the authors of the gospels used the military campaign of the Roman Emperor Titus as the basis for the ministry of Jesus. I am certain that the Emperor Titus must have found this quite hilarious. In the gospel of Matthew they relate the Temple prophesy which was originally made by Daniel and claim it to have been made by Jesus even though in all liklihood, it was made by Apollos or Apollonius. They also create the vengeful character of the Essene prophesies the 'Son of Man' who is the second coming of the crucified Jesus the 'Son of God' who returns to punish the Jews by destroying the Temple. "...For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be."—Matthew 24:27. The 'Son of Man' is then used repeatedly throughout the gospels so that the faithful are unwittingly worshipping the Roman Emperor Titus rather than Jesus Christ. This completes the Greco-Roman romance of Jesus Christ. At the onset of the siege of Jerusalem, by the Romans, Josephus reports that citizens shouted out, what has been translated as "THE STONE COMETH," but the word used was SON and not STONE. If Josephus had written in Hebrew then the error would be understandable since eben is stone and ben is son, but he wrote first in the Chaldean language where the word used is bar which means son.
