In 1159 Jesus Christ Our Promised Seed, part 4A, Reverend Nick Catania continues a series on the birth of Jesus Christ. In this section we look at the historical figure Caesar Augustus and why he is so significant in this account. Today we usually pass over the mention of him in Luke 2:1. Who was he? Caesar Augustus claimed to be a god and the son of the god Julius Caesar. Augustus also claimed to be the savior, a prince of peace, and the bearer of "good news" (the word translated "gospel" in our bible) and in charge of a kingdom that "would last forever". Explore the true controversy of Jesus from a historical perspective. The scriptures will have greater impact for you once you understand these things.
