Messiah

I read the web page about Jesus dying in Japan thinking it to be a joke; a complete fiction. It turns out that might have been premature. Using the resources of my organization, I checked out the background as outlined at the beginning of the narrative and discovered that Herai Village in Aomori actually does exist. Not only does it exist, it is locally famous for, and in some religious circles well known as, the site of an unexplained burial mound for two people who appear to have a heritage beyond that of Japan dating back two thousand years. Further examination found that the scrolls or parchments referred to in the web page also existed at one time; but their whereabouts was somewhat of a mystery. That they should be translated and then kept a secret for several decades should come as no surprise to anyone. Fearful of a Christian-like fatwa, the handful of translators agreed amongst themselves to keep the documents secret. I found the last of the translators (the other's have subsequently died) and offered him a deal. For a generous amount of money, and my promise to keep his identity absolutely secret, I have secured the translated documents for this book. The story of Jesus is acknowledged to be told on the basis of second and third (or more) generation verbal accounts put into writing decades and sometime hundreds of years after His death. The exact nature of how He lived was never recorded in His lifetime. The Son of God, as we now believe, as a man must have lived somewhere; eaten of bread somehow; and, supported Himself and His followers in some manner. As a man, He must have gained a reputation somewhere; been seen to do something that generated stories of miracles; and, been remembered by huge numbers of people in order to perpetuate His glory. This book, taken directly and un-edited from his manuscripts, breaths life into His daily life and even His death. While on earth He lived as a mortal man.
