Yeshua lived with his parents in Nazareth, a Galilean village
which was ruled by Antipas, one of
Herod’s heirs. Samaria and Judaea were ruled by Archelaus, another Herod’s heir. Antipas was the ruler of Galilee
for all of Yeshua’s life, except for the earliest period of his life when Herod ruled.

It
is a strong possibility that virtually all of Yeshua’s activities related to
his movement was carried out in Galilee,
which would indicate that Antipas was probably aware of his activities. Yeshua
was from the country and stayed away from the larger cities, which also had
larger Gentile populations. The cities of Galilee – Sepphoris, Tiberias,
and Scythopolis (Beth Shean) –
do not figure into his activities. There is no doubt that he knew Sepphoris, which was only a few
miles from Nazareth.
Yeshua
apparently regarded his mission as being directed to the Jews in the villages
and small towns of Galilee. Rural images are fairly frequent in his teachings.
Over two-billion
Christians believe in Jesus, but
very few Christians know the Real Yeshua. The world has
had almost 2,000 years of believing in that Jesus and we can see the result. Help introduce the Real Yeshua to the
people that should be the most interested in learning about him and accurately
understanding the words they consider the most important of all. Do you
think learning about the Real Yeshua
is important? If you do, let us know.
