Arbeit stellt Sie frei ein; Act one Scene 3...

St. John of Patmos lived in a very violent environment, since Jesus Christs' death that lead to his being resurrected, small groups of early -Christians began to spring up everywhere. Now to Octavian( later dubbed pontifex maximus , Emperor of Rome at the time of Christs' execution, and later changed his name to Augustus.) Since, they believed they killed Jesus Christ and their God (Caesar, Apollo) had won out. Since Jesus Christ had only shown his soul ascending to those who had faith in him, nobility just assumed he was just a dead guy. Meanwhile the people; true apostles divided and began to spread the word and law personified in Jesus Christ.Slowly more and more people began to believe in Jesus Christ . Specially when a spiritual renegade decided to preach in Greece. He was St.Paul, not of the original "12" but a believer, a firm believer in Jesus began preaching and debating people in public over the morals and ethics of Christ. He started seven churches each one based on one of the virtues that is also a realm in heaven. Soon after Christ ascended and after gaining his title of the Prince of Peace. He unlocked the first seven levels of Heaven, which where now open to humanity. Slowly, former pagan's high in social ranking began to change. What broke and ended it for St.Paul was Tiberius' movement to enforce the persercution of both Jews that believed and those who didn't, however most of the Jews that did not believe in Jesus Christ were temple elders and people in consul ( that could prove themselves to be natural citizens of Rome). The churches began to grow and operate independently.The Greeks were in awe of the early Christians because of their humility and strong faith. However word got around that the "new" Jews had a prophecy that Christ one day would come back ..Again!!! Then the Oracle of Delphi made an ominous prophecy. The oracle ( a woman) would , with the help of noxious gases, become entranced and those belonging to the Church of Apollo would ask questions while she was in this meditative state. Historians due note that Tiberius was at that "mass" . When she was asked what would happen to the God of the Jews the oracle made one last prophecy. That this "new" although thought to be dead, however was still alive , here and everywhere, and this "new" religion would take over the world. It is said that Tiberius and Caligula both vowed that day that the new "God" would never crush the roman empire. Slowly pressure was held on all Jews, slaves and non-slaves, Jew or not, people started being seized randomly, almost like the insurgents of the Iraq and Af ghani wars. The oracle at Delphi spread like wildfire through Greece. Although the obvious conclusion was that the God of St. Paul's learned from the teachings of Jesus Christ had "won" and was about to take over . However when Tiberius got back to Rome , his mind veered and wondered into little boys. Caligula anxious to be on the "THRONE" began planning his father's murder. While those in consul began discussing how to deal with actually dubbed " The Jewish Question" in the roman empire. The Roman Soldiers closest to the slaves at this moment had no reason not to persercute but being so closed did heed the process. While in Greece , paranoia began to spread . If the lowest class had a God above theirs eventually they figured that this new founded jewish sect called "Christians" would need representatives and eventually would began seeking the right to vote. St.Paul's execution was ordered immediately. While the Romans began seeking war as a means of attacking the or destroying what they believed to be the root of their empire's crumbling and division.
