Minimalist Wrote:Um, no. There is no such "prophecy" in Jewish scripture. It's just made up shit by later xtians along with a whole bunch of other phony "prophecies." Yet, Josephus, as a member of a priestly family should have been aware of all such prophecies, no? How come he fucked this one up?On the contrary, Josephus himself fulfilled it =)
“He descended into the cave. So, for two days he continued in hiding. On the third, his secret was revealed by a woman who had been with them. The death of J. was found to be a fiction, it became known that he was alive.”
This is a description of a resurrection after three days in a cave. No, J. is not Jesus, but Josephus. This is from the account of the fall of Jotapata where Josephus hides in a cave for three days before he was found out by a captured woman who knew of their hiding place. He arose from the cave. After a short time he ascended to the right hand of the Father, Vespasian, the Emperor. Josephus went on to live in the mansion of his Lord.

Titus Flavius Josephus, also called Joseph ben Matityahu in Hebrew, is the author of Matityahu i.e. Matthew. Josephus along with Plutarch are the original Orthodox Christians.
This changes everything.
