Powerful evidence both overlooked and ignored by Jewish scholars for twenty centuries points to Yeshua ben Yosef as the fulfilment of first century CE widespread Messianic expectation. Astonishingly, this remarkable evidence comes not from pagan secular sources, but from their own sacred writings of the Intertestamental Period (circa the conclusion of the prophet Malachi's ministry to the arrival of Yochanan, the Essene baptiser). Indeed, the truth included in these largely forgotten documents is staggering! Its time for Jewish rabbis to repent of their ignorance about (and hostility toward) the carpenter Rome crucified, and the Jews stoned to death, 2000 years ago.

The Chinese Expected the Appearance of the "Holy One"   The Chinese philosopher, K'ung Fu-Tze, better known to us as Confucius, predicted the coming of the God-Man but knew he would not be found in China. The Chinese recognised that He would come from the regions west of China. They also knew that He would be due around the period (in their historical assessment) of the Roman Occupation of Judaea. They hoped He would make His appearance in India. Notice what the sage had to say: "The Holy One must be sought in the West." Verbally handed down from father to son, "by the year 64 after the Christian Era, the Emperor Mimti, we are told, under the influence of this expectation sent messengers westward into India, that there they might enquire for the long-predicted Holy One of Confucius" (Du Halde's China, Vol. I., 360,361; Le Compte's China, 118,200).
