Jesus's Son of Man

K

King James

Guest
Jesus prophesied that within a generation(definition at the time for Jews is 40 years), during the Son of Man’s visitation Galilean towns would be destroyed, Jerusalem would be encircled with a wall, and the Temple would be razed. This was accomplished by Titus Flavius. In Josephus's War of the Jews chronicles, this was acknowledged as prophecy fulfilled. In the middle ages this book was printed with the gospels. It's only in the last 200 years or so that this is no longer believed to be the interpretation.

The Flavian Family were also among the most early known Christians.

Titus Flavius Clemens AKA St. Flavius Clemens AKA Clement of Alexandria, writer of 1 Clement
Roman martyr, the brother of Vespasian and uncle of Titus and Domitian. He was married to Flavia Domitilla. The year before his martyrdom, Flavius held the post of consul with Domitian, who beheaded him for being a Christian.

Flavia Domitilla
A Christian Roman matron of the imperial family who lived towards the close of the first century. She was the third of three persons (mother, daughter, and grand-daughter) who bore the same name. The first of these was the wife of the Vespasian; the second was his daughter and sister to the Titus and Domitian; her daughter, the third Domitilla, married her mother's first cousin to Titus Flavius Clemens, a nephew Vespasian and first cousin to Titus and Domitian. From this union there were born two sons, who, while children, were adopted as his successors by Domitian and commanded to assume the names Vespasianus and Domitianus. Martyr with Euphrosyna and Theodora. She was martyred with her two foster sisters. Catacombs of Domitilla (named after Saint Domitilla), spread over 15 kilometres (9 miles) of underground caves, date back to 2nd century AD.

Also one of Titus's nephews was a notable Jewish man of the time. In of his writings he thanked his Uncle Titus for his permission to convert to Judaism.

Onkelos (Hebrew: אונקלוס) is the name of a famous convert to Judaism in Tannaic times (c. 35–120 CE). He is considered to be the author of the famous Targum Onkelos (c. 110 CE).
Onkelos is mentioned several times in the Talmud. According to the traditional Jewish sources, he was a prominent Roman nobleman, a nephew of the Roman emperor Titus.
 
Maybe I'm missing somthing. What's so special about the fact that a few notable people were related?

I didn't really notice that angle. Something to ponder I guess.
 
Ignore any links connected to the names on the original post. None of them seem to connect to the actual people mentioned. I cannot edit the post to change it.

Then what is your point? I'm not saying that there isn't one or trying to belittle this in any way, I'm just trying to understand what you're getting at.

Until recent times, the prophecies that I listed were considered fulfilled by Titus(the purple one on the family tree). While I was on that subject, I thought it was also of importance of his families role in early Christianity and in Judaism of that time. More of an informational extra to the post as well as eliminating a need for another thread.
