SonOfTheFather

OK so I was NEXT BLOGging again and came across this little commentary on a blog called FALLEN(http://xwhiteboy777x.blogspot.com/ ). It just seemed like exactly the kinda thing I'd write, so I pasted it over here.
Barabbas indeed.

The Son of the Father Enigma
If The prefix Bar means "son" and Abba means "father"...would the name Barabbas mean "son of the father"??? Yes...that's what it means. Matthew 27:15-26Now it was the governor's custom at the Feast to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas. So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?" For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him. While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him this message: "Don't have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him."

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed. "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" asked the governor. "Barabbas," they answered. "What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?" Pilate asked. They all answered, "Crucify him!" "Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!" When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!" All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!" Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.My query...Did the Jewish people at the time realize they were trading Barabbas, "the son of the father" for Jesus, "The Son of The Father"?

OK, so that's what Jack @ FALLEN had to say. Now...............

Anyone wanna comment on other possibilities of why they would've coded Son Of The Father in there as being the man who was let go instead of Jesus?

I'll start..........Barabbas was a second identity for a high profile agitator.....and messiah. He needed to go througfh the streets unnoticed as the messiah occasionally.....so he gets identity #2, Barabbas and runs the streets at will undetected.
Now a wealthy businessman sympathetic to Yehosua's cause(Joeseph of Arimathea), has the connections and money to make a bait and switch. Getting the heat off Yehoshua AND providing a "death" for the messiah to come back from(Influece with Pilate's wifey who warned Pilate not to have anything to do with it? And with the priests in the crowd and people in the crowd to incite the "kill Jesus instead" bunch.). I wonder how much Barabbas was seen around after Yehosua jetted post Golgotha? And I wonder if beforehand, Yehosua and Barabbas were ever seen together? And the thief on the cross next to Yehosua, what was his name?

Isn't this fun? Who's got next?
