Jesus fulfilled the roles of priest, prophet, and king as described in prophecies. These three roles represent God's authentication of Jesus as the Messiah. When Jesus was put on trial and crucified, he fulfilled more prophecies involving being hung on a tree and the high priest tearing his robe, showing he was the promised Messiah. Jesus' death and resurrection occurred during the Pax Romana period of the Roman Empire and led to the spread of Christianity throughout the known world.

Jerusalem
Jordan River

2. Jerusalem
GALILEE

3. SCEPTER
ROBE
MESSIAH
TREE
Jesus fulfilled all three offices
of “God’s government”:
PRIEST, PROPHET, & KING.
God uses these 3 lesser prophecies as
MULTI-FACTOR AUTHENTIFICATION
of who Jesus really is.
Caiaphas broke The Torah (the law)
when, as High Priest, he TORE HIS
ROBES at the mock trial of Jesus.

4. Pax Romana = Roman Peace27 BC 180 AD
Accession of Caesar Augustus,
founder of the Roman principate
Death of Marcus Aurelius,
last of the “good emperors”
~30 AD
Christ Jesus Dies, Resurrected, and
Ascends to the Right Hand of the Father
The Holy Spirit is sent, New Testament is
written, and the Gospel is sent out to the
known world before the end of Pax Romana

5. JESUS
ROBE WOOD
SCEPTER
Since the SCEPTER had left the Jews in
AD 7, they used its loss to MANIPULATE
Rome.
Jesus foretells that He will be ACCURSED
when He is CRUCIFIED and HUNG on a
TREE.

6. Know Jesus, Know Life No Jesus, No Life
Why the scepter, the robes, & the wood?
So, if you do not BELIEVE IN JESUS as
YOUR SAVIOR, that you soon will…
...and, if you already have, it will assure
YOU of your ETERNAL LIFE in Him!!!!
The best authentication factor of Jesus:
THE HOLY SPIRIT.
