Real Faces of The Bible.
Tiberius Julius Caesar.
|
Dear friends last week I sent you the real face of Caesar Augustus, who was in the Bible of Luke 2:1.
The names are so similar, I sent by mistake Tiberius Julius Caesar on the wrong face.
This week I am sending another face and the right face and a real face from the Bible, who is defiantly: Tiberius Julius Caesar.
 [[File:Tiberius, Romisch-Germanisches Museum, Cologne (8115606671).jpg|thumb|Tiberius, Romisch-Germanisches Museum, Cologne (8115606671)]]This is a REAL face who is in the Bible.
Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene.
Luke 3:1. New American Standard Bible.
Tribute to Caesar
Then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said. And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. "Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?" But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? "Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's." Then He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's." And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.
Matthew 15 - 22.
Gospels, Jews, and Christians.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospels mention that during Tiberius' reign, Jesus of Nazareth preached and was executed under the authority of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judaea province. In the Bible, Tiberius is mentioned by name only once, in Luke 3:1 ,[99] which states that John the Baptist entered on his public ministry in the fifteenth year of his reign. Many references to Caesar (or the emperor in some other translations), without further specification, would seem to refer to Tiberius. Similarly, the "Tribute Penny" referred to in Matthew[100] and Mark[101] is popularly thought to be a silver denarius coin of Tiberius.[102][103][104]
During Tiberius' reign Jews had become more prominent in Rome and Jewish and Gentile followers of Jesus began proselytizing Roman citizens, increasing long-simmering resentments.[105] Tiberius in 19 AD ordered Jews who were of military age to join the Roman Army.[105] Tiberius banished the rest of the Jews from Rome and threatened to enslave them for life if they did not leave the city.[105]
There is considerable debate among historians as to when Christianity was differentiated from Judaism.[105]Most scholars believe that Roman distinction between Jews and Christians took place around 70 AD.[105] Tiberius most likely viewed Christians as a Jewish sect rather than a separate, distinct faith.[105]
Archaeology[edit] The palace of Tiberius at Rome was located on the Palatine Hill, the ruins of which can still be seen today. No major public works were undertaken in the city during his reign, except a temple dedicated to Augustus and the restoration of the theater of Pompey,[106][107] both of which were not finished until the reign of Caligula.[108] In addition, remnants of Tiberius' villa at Sperlonga, which includes a grotto where the important Sperlonga sculptures were found in fragments, and the Villa Jovis on top of Capri have been preserved. The estate at Capri is said by Tacitus to have included a total of twelve villas across the island,[62] of which Villa Jovis was the largest.

I am Simon Brown. I hope you agree, how lovely to see, how archaeology proves the Bible.
