The Jewish Exile Diaspora to earlier Syrian Lands
Mission – Thomas, to India As Jesus sent disciples out he taught, “Go first to the Lost Sheep of Israel,” [i] including ten-plus-two tribes spread outland at time of Exile – in Syria and Persia. Tradition says the Twelve drew lots for the known World and Thomas drew the Lot for India not pleasing, so they say, but clear And how, to India, should he go ? The Old Silk Road had most Lost Sheep, and Syria, above the Gallilean Sea, sent caravans where Thomas still could teach in Aramaic The trip for Thomas took some years, always East and South, step by step, learning and teaching, new methods from his path, Parthia, Medea, Persia, and more – to India From Syria came his Cross, design Nasrani, teaching with this tool he left a trail of stone-carved Crosses at each stay, with Christ revealed to crowds and kings along the way His Cross is supported by a Menorah Comments are closed.
