This book Zealot is getting a lot of press. But for me it misses the reality of Jesus. If you truly understand the following scriptures then you know why:

(John 1:1-3) In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was god. This one was in [the] beginning with God. All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.

After the rebellion in the garden of Eden, the inception of chaos had begun on earth and in heaven. The further growth and expansion of creation by God came to a halt permanently! God did not have a means by which to cleanse heaven or earth. This refutes that God knew Adam and the angel would sin. If he had known then he would have created a means to eradiate sin before they sinned. He had not. Since they had sinned now he needed a reality that had never existed: a New Creation. the Word REBORN!!

Consequently, the judgment prophecy given to the evil doers in the garden set in motion the rebirth of the Word. (Genesis 3:14-24) This culminated in Jesus’ death. It explains why Jesus submitted himself to death and why his Father allowed him to. Remember, death is for sinners. Jesus was not a sinner!

His death and rebirth would bring about a new WORD. A Word that would bring about the cleansing of heaven and earth. The growth and expansion of creation would start again during the re-creation. This ends with Jesus’ Second Coming (Mathew 19:28). Jesus could not complete his Father’s work. He did not have the power. By being reborn into a New Creation, the Father now had the means for his work to come to its completion. (John 4:33, 34) ” Jesus said to them: “My food is for me to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.

(Revelation 21:1) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.

(Revelation 21:5) And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.”
