https://truerichesradio.com/the-barabbas-deception/On the day Christ was condemned to death, the Jews were presented with the choice of two different men.
One would receive clemency and be set free. The other would die a gruesome death.
One was a silent lamb that was led to the slaughter.
The other was a violent rebellious zealot who was actively using the sword to "take Israel back for God" from the defiling hands of the pagan Roman infidels.
The Pharisees, who sat in Moses' seat, were supposed to herald the coming of Messiah. Instead, they traded one Jesus for another when given the opportunity.
The story of a little known man named "Jesus Barabbas" is remarkable as it emerges from the Biblical texts. The story of Barabbas appears in all four gospels.

https://biblehub.com/kjvs/john/18.htmRead this interesting excerpt from the Jewish Encyclopedia (1906): “Abba” is used in the name “Barabbas” as a common noun, whereas “Abba” is found as a prae-nomen as early as tannaitic times (Yeb 15a). If “Abba” were merely a title of Barabbas’ father, his name could not have been simply “Son of Abba.” In fact, Origen reports that in several manuscripts of the Gospels he had seen the name given as “Jesus Barabbas” or “Jesus, son of Abba.” Accordingly, the first name was afterward omitted from the manuscripts of the gospels when the name of Jesus had become sacred. (The Jewish Enc. 2:513)
Jesus Barabbas vs Jesus Christ
1) Jesus, Son of the Father ("Christ")
OR
2) Jesus, son of the father ("Barabbas")
The Pharisees had the written history, the psalms, the proverbs and the prophets.
According to Jesus, these religious rulers sat in the "seat of Moses." (See Matthew 23:2)
And yet, when given the choice, they chose wrong.
The deception lies in the fact that they did indeed choose a "Jesus."
They just chose the wrong one!
What about you?
Imagine yourself in the crowd that day as these two men were presented for a democratic vote.
One would receive clemency and be set free. The other would die a gruesome death.
Would you make the right choice? What would have enabled you to go against the mob mentality, especially when it was endorsed and sanctioned by the most important religious leaders?
An interesting thought experiment and meditative food for those so inclined.

Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
