Slightly Hidden Truths: Volume 1 (The Life of Jesus)

A hidden alliance. A prophetic star. A thousand camels shaking the gates of Jerusalem. When Quirinius governed Syria and Herod ruled Judea, something extraordinary happened— a caravan of more than 800 camels , heavy with treasure and purpose, stormed Jerusalem. They came uninvited, representing a powerful eastern confederacy of 13 kingdoms , searching for a newborn King. Their claim? His birth had been foretold by ancient prophecies and heralded by the celestial upheaval of the stars. According to the elder Tacitus , these wise men of the East believed that at that very hour in history , power would shift—and one born in Judea would rise to rule the world. Their presence ignited fear. Herod , already unstable and brutal, panicked. If Rome’s greatest rival had crowned a new emperor from his territory, his kingdom could become the spark of a global war. The Roman Senate trembled. They didn’t trust Herod. And they feared that his next irrational act could set the world on fire.] In this eye-opening volume, Dr. Ron Charles uncovers the little-known historical truths buried beneath the surface of the Gospel stories. The result? A breathtaking journey into the past that reframes everything you thought you knew.
