Synopsis:

“Ben Hur II – Exile.” - What ‘Really’ happened in the First Century? 10 Years in the Making. A long awaited historical account of history’s most impacting century. Humanity’s greatest ‘Clash of Belief’ remains tragically miss-represented; it stands among the most debated today. A new appraisal based on firsthand witness accounts and the historical archives says the Jews played the most significant role in marking the end of the divine king realm and why we don’t worship Jupiter and Zeus today. The greatest battle for freedom of belief changed the course of history; it led to the western civilization and Christianity. “So You Are The Only People Who Reject My Divinity!” – Caligula; 37 AD/CE. Six years after Jesus is killed, with the ascension of the notorious Emperors Caligula and Nero, and Saul of Tarsus with a new vision, “Ben Hur II – Exile” traces the historical thread where Sir Lew Wallace’s epic novel culminates, exploring its source points and its most shrouded message for today. The event that shaped the modern world was triggered by Aristotle’s student Alexander the Great and the fiery debates of the Greek philosophers. Aristotle’s ‘First Cause’ aligned with the Hebrew ‘In the beginning God’. Alexander’s request for the first translation of the Hebrew Bible [‘The Septuagint’] will become a greater feat than all his war victories – it will change the course of history. The lead-up to the Judeo-Christian assembly is of unconventional awe and wonder, of victory shrouded in defeat, and is seen via the triumph of a forbidden love in history’s greatest destruction; 10,000 soldiers will turn sides when a Roman and a Hebrew Nasserite maiden are seen as betrayers by both their nations. Designed to “mainstream” the ancient texts in a reader-friendly mode for today’s audiences, the tedious and complicated archives and the biblical references come alive infused with real-life emotive action. Its vast index of archives, quotes, archaeological relics and Time-Lines act as an ever handy reference almanac and enhanced with 60 lavish biblical paintings, illustrations and new art works. “Ben Hur II – Exile” is presented in three acts: “An Ancient Scroll”. “A Forbidden Love”. “Holy War”. Introductory Offer. This Premier 2014 Release also includes three Historical Supplements of the period’s most evocative issues impacting the modern world today: • “The Mystery of the Hebrew.” The world’s first five Hebrew books (‘The Torah’) emerged in a sudden, fully advanced alphabetical script of sublime literature, with no previous Hebrew writings, in a new language not used by any other nation. This was not a borrowed writ; so how did it emerge? • “Philistine-To-Palestine.” A great multitude’s mendacity is exposed by the usurping of a name in the 20th Century. • “The Messiah Syndrome.” Jesus of Nazareth wore blue waist tassels, a head cap, phylacteries, used the services of money changers and spoke Hebrew, not Aramaic. A suppressed critical factor says Christianity wholly depended on the Jews’ response to Mighty Rome and Paul of Tarsus – for how can a Messiah emerge without first defending the source that predicted one? Quotes: • “No Library is complete without this book – every page astounds. I never wanted it to end.” - Stanley Joseph – Director, Producer, Composer). • "I could not 'put it down' to take a breath!" (K. Solo). • "I was experiencing the events that have influenced our world to this day. Exhilarating!” - Gregory James Green – writer / director. • “The war between Rome and Jerusalem deserves to be called one of the most important events in world history. If the Temple might still be standing today, the history of the world would be inconceivably different.” - (Moses Hess; “Rome and Jerusalem.”) What did you think this war was really all about?

About the Author: About. It all began with: ‘What do you think this war was really all about?’ Thereafter it became complicated. As a documentary film writer for 25 years I produced a diverse range of subjects such as Making Movies, W.W.II: The Frank Capra Documents, Deep Space Encounters and biographical films of The Beatles and James Dean. The first century has always been an underlying intrigue throughout, its effects pervasive and unceasing. “Ben Hur II - Exile” is a work of ten years research with scholars, writers, religious figures, historians and discerning members of the general public. The confronting of the first century showcases a host of challenging factors; it impacts history, beliefs, the sciences and the judiciary as no other. Yet its reporting has been contradictory of history, even antithetical, ensuring a future of calamitous outcomes. The sincere followers of the numerous belief groups deserve better. Is there a way out? In this history-turning century one critical factor will be posited as a pivotal exposition of an underlying miss-adventure that led us where this road will lead us again. Here, a shrouded emanation was side-stepped in this turbulent century; the retrospective bigger picture says something was happening here that was not understood or accepted by any, culminating in history’s greatest holy war and its lingering legacies. This new presentation will pierce the held status qua of unremitting discordance and disharmony by offering a step-by-step historical and biblical accounting that is validated and incumbent today. Vespasian: “Gods are Gods – what difference which one.” “Ben Hur II – Exile” is a historically based work that is both confronting and redeeming, and presented in an exciting easy-read format for both the enthusiast of its unequaled awe and wonder and of its real history. The fractional historical dates are rounded; similar names (such as ‘Eleazar’) are presented as one person and the event’s most impacting issues are opened for a better future than where it is pointing. This author welcomes you to enter this arena again to re-examine what ‘really’ happened in history’s most impacting and controversial century. The Empire’s largest assembly gathered to celebrate the parading of Rome’s richest war spoils as the end of the Hebrew biblical period: “The Davidic dynasty is no more. Solomon’s Temple is no more. Jerusalem is no more.” Eleazar: “I shall make Jerusalem as a burden unto the nations!” Joseph Shellim.
