Was 'Jesus' ie; 'Yeshua', really a man of the East?

Yes, I put "Nazareth" in quotations above, using your stance as described above.

So, are you finished defending a 1st century Nazareth, where 'Jesus' lived without a peep for some 18 years? If so, maybe we can move on. If not, then please wrap up your argument or present additional evidence to support your view.

Where do you see a child who governed anything, other than one of the Pharaoh.

That a God interceded to create a virgin birth is just a religious belief. This thread is about the possibility of historical evidence for Yeshua having traveled Eastward during his 18 missing years.

The government "will be" on His shoulders.

We can move on if you'd like to continue.

Thanks.

The only thing on his shoulders was a cross.

So do you tentatively concede no 1st century Nazareth?

You understand the Isaiah prophecy is "will be" because He hasn't had all things put under His feet yet? (Eph 1, Rev 22, Acts 1, etc., etc., etc.)

I am not conceding that in the place where modern Nazareth may be found, nearby the Mount of Precipice, nearby the Sea of Galilee, etc., etc. that Jesus lived until he was 12, possibly 33, and that Bible scholars call that place "Nazareth" in English.
