Christ, Jesus
The
anointed king or Messiah of Jewish prophecy,
sometimes conceived of as a military leader who would conquer the Jews oppressors,
sometimes held to be a supernatural being sent by God to destroy and recreate the earth,
purging it of evil.
Jesus was
born at Bethlehem, between 8 and 4 BC (near the end of Herod the Great's
reign), and was crucified about 29 AD. As a child, He lived in Nazareth;
as a young man, He followed the carpenter's trade.
Jesus
lifetime was a period of distress in Palestine, which was under the rule
of Herod's three sons and oppressive Roman procurators.
After
being baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus gathered twelve disciples and
started preaching in Galilee; He was received with enthusiasm by common
people because of His charismatic personality, extraordinary healing
powers, effective teaching by parables, and impression of authority; He
was strongly opposed by the Pharisees and the privileged classes because
of His attacks on hypocrisy and interest in the poor and less fortunate.
The fact
that Jesus was regarded by some as a long-expected Messiah made the local
rulers suspect revolutionary aims. Shortly after an incident at the
Jerusalem Temple (drove out money changers) that arouse hostility from the
priestly class, He was seized by Roman soldiers and condemned as a
blasphemer, deserving death.
After a
being sent to Roman procurator Pontius Pilate, and by him to Herod Antipas
(ruler of Galilee), who sent Him back to Pilate, Jesus was turned over to
the Jewish authorities, who had already decided to get rid of Him.
Jesus was
crucified between two thieves on Golgotha and was buried in the tomb of
Joseph of Arimathea; believed by His followers to have risen from the dead
and ascended to heaven.

As you may have noticed, Occultopedia is being updated.

may take a while, so please, be patient and understanding. I am only one
person working on this site in my spare time.
As soon as these updates are concluded I will begin setting up the

Occultopedia's images and art are also undergoing an adjustment to
Flash based graphics. This process may take some time as well, so again, be

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since the
early 90s — at first in a free web space provider, and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting — Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |
