Exhilarating!" - [Gregory James Green - Writer/Director] - "I'm proud of the people of Israel who in the moment of truth knew what was important" - [Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, Chairman of the Likud Party]- 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.") -"Without Judaism there would be no Christianity, and only with Judaism has Christianity a relationship with origin." - (Hans Kung.) It is history's most impacting war - Christianity and Islam were born out of its aftermath. With today's rising political chaos, mayhem, and a renewed Messianic fervor, here is a step-by-step account for today's audiences of a war unlike any in human history, now depicted from both the Jews and the Roman's historical perspectives, and via a forbidden love between a Roman and a Nazerite maiden. It began seven Years after Jesus Christ, and two decades before Paul of Tarsus preached, when the Jews confronted Caligula, one who demanded to be worshiped as divine, or, he swore, Jerusalem will be turned to dust. The stiff-neck Jews response caused a Holocaust, ironically, becoming Christianity's greatest benefactor by opening the only portal for its belief to emerge - else we would all be worshipping Jupiter today. It is one of many suppressed truths of the First Century now highlighted as never before. It concludes with the Jews' exile to the European continent, and the changing of Judea's name into Palestine with the burning alive of the Temple priests wrapped with Torah scrolls, and the Roman banning of the Hebrew Bible and its practices. - Vespasian to the Jews: "God are Gods - what difference which one?" - Titus: "No such thing as an invisible God!" - Eleazar ben Zair: "I shall make Jerusalem as a burden unto the nations" - Hebrew-Roman Queen Judith Berenice, lover of both Vespasian and his son Titus: "If I have not craved glory, then glory itself has craved me."- Hadrian: "Your name shall no more be called as Judea - Palestine is born this day!"[For more Reviews please see under alternate title "Ben Hur II - Exile"]
