Pilate then gave the mob a choice of who should go free. Jesus Christ or Jesus Barabas, a man in prison for riot and murder. But, inflamed by the high priest Kaphus and other members of the Sanhedron, the masses demand the death of the Nazarene.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jew_of_Malta
The name Barabas comes from the Biblical figure of Barabbas, a notorious bandit and murderer. Barabbas, rather than Jesus Christ, was released by Pontius Pilate at the behest of a mob (Matt. 27: 16-26).


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barabbas
The story of Barabbas has special social significances, partly because it has frequently been used to lay the blame for the Crucifixion on the Jews and justify anti-Semitism. Equally, some[who?] argue the social significance of the story to early hearers was that it shifted blame away from the Roman state, removing an impediment to Christianity's eventual official acceptance.[citation needed]




[] Barabbas' crime
John 18:40 refers to Barabbas as a lēstēs, "bandit;" Mark and Luke further refer to Barabbas as one involved in a stasis, a riot. Mark 15:7; Luke 23:19. Matthew refers to Barabbas only as a "notorious prisoner." Matthew 27:16. Some scholars[who?] posit that Barabbas was a member of the sicarii, a militant Jewish movement that sought to overthrow the Roman occupiers of their land by force, noting that Mark (15:7) mentions that he had committed murder in an insurrection.

The sicarii and the ongoing revolt of Jews against foreign presence in Judea have been discussed by Robert Eisenman;[2] however, many historians maintain that the sicarii only arose in the 40s or 50s of the first century — after Jesus' execution.[3]

Various authors contend Barabbas's crime would translate today as terrorism.[4][5][6] Some however, have argued that he was a freedom fighter campaigning for autonomy from Roman imperialism. He is called a terrorist in the Contemporary English Version of the Bible.[7][8]

I believe Barabbas to represent Azazel and the counterfeit Christ. He uses non-spiritual means and seeks to ally himself with political power. He is a populist. He defends his rights. He will have the sins of they he corrupted laid on him. He looks just like Jesus. In some traditions, the full name of Barabbas is Jesus Barabbas. Barabbas of course means "son of the father."

Why suppose ye the crowds who wanted to meet Jesus on his temple entry were only a couple of days later asking for Barabbas.....?

The mob mentality is fickle...one day they be for you...the next day they be against you.

Gods Blessings,

Al

something that i read was about the time of the Passover when many people
who did not live in the area were coming to observe Passover. they did not
know Jesus, but they knew the boot of Rome.

the people under oppression wanted to have a fighter and did not recognize
Jesus, but many knew Barrabas and whisper, word, shout, to gnashing, they
chose Barrabas. they had to. he is another anti christ type and it
fulfilled the scriptures for Isaiah 53.

those that knew Jesus were few and the unfolding of His words happened
in their midst, as it is in our present time. who will recognize Him?

Being under the mighty sandal of Rome doesn't quite sound as ominous, does it?

no toes rings allowed!

You speak, a great truth. I think this is a true Biblical mystery to resolve.

The name as Barabbas, is reflecting the 269 code.

As you see below, which matches your observations John, 'the counterfeit' is in our face !

The 2 word's , wherefore (269), a supper (269) . . . are very much linking to the
releasement (exchange) of Barabbas (false Christ), for Christ our Messiah.

See how the releasing of a prisoner on the `Passover`, is suggestive/symbolic/parallel
to `a supper' (269) ?

Now take, a leap of faith and look at the word `The kingdoms`(259): ( 10 digits different,
259 versus 269 )


The kingdoms βασιλεια G0932 basileia 259


Now, read the description of the royal power and dignity conferred on Christians in the Messiah's kingdom (259) . . . of Revelation's 7th angel . . . scripture ( see below ).

Now, we can view the Barabbas(269) versus the Basileia(259) . . . [ Here John, I see (Ayin) the
pattern of the message of the Barabbas releasement on Passover, to the lamb crucified,
unto the 'a supper' (269) . . . to the Revelation 7th Angel . . . ]

ba-rab'-as (Barabbas):

For Aramaic Bar-abba = literally, "son of the father," i.e. of the master or teacher. Abba in the time of Jesus was perhaps a title of honor (Matthew 23:9), but became later a proper name. The variant Barrabban found in the 19- Harclean Syriac would mean "son of the rabbi or teacher." Origen knew and does not absolutely condemn a reading of Matthew 27:16,17, which gave the name "Jesus Barabbas," but although it is also found in a few cursives and in the Aramaic and the Jerusalem Syriac versions in this place only, it is probably due to a scribe's error in transcription (Westcott-Hort, App., 20). If the name was simply Barabbas or Barrabban, it may still have meant that the man was a rabbi's son, or it may have been a purely conventional proper name, signifying nothing. He was the criminal chosen by the Jerusalem mob, at the instigation of the priests, in preference to Jesus Christ, for Pilate to release on the feast of Passover (Mark 15:15; Matthew 27:20,21; Luke 23:18; John 18:40). Matthew calls him "a notable (i.e. notorious) prisoner" (Matthew 27:16). Mr says that he was "bound with them that had made insurrection, men who in the insurrection had committed murder" (Matthew 15:7). Luke states that he was cast into prison "for a certain insurrection made in the city, and for murder" (Luke 23:19; compare Acts 3:14). John calls him a "robber" or "brigand" (John 18:40). Nothing further is known of him, nor of the insurrection in which he took part. Luke's statement that he was a murderer is probably a deduction from Mark's more circumstantial statement, that he was only one of a gang, who in a rising had committed murder. Whether robbery was the motive of his crime, as Joh suggests, or whether he was "a man who had raised a revolt against the Roman power" (Gould) cannot be decided. But it seems equally improbable that the priests (the pro-Roman party) would urge the release of a political prisoner and that Pilate would grant it, especially when the former were urging, and the latter could not resist, the execution of Jesus on a political charge (Luke 23:2). The insurrection may have been a notorious case of brigandage. To say that the Jews would not be interested in the release of such a prisoner, is to forget the history of mobs. The custom referred to of releasing a prisoner on the Passover is otherwise unknown. "What Matthew (and John) represents as brought about by Pilate, Mark makes to appear as if it were suggested by the people themselves. An unessential variation" (Meyer). For a view of the incident as semi-legendary growth, see Schmiedel in Encyclopedia Biblica. See also Allen, Matthew, and Gould, Mark, at the place, and article "Barabbas" by Plummer in Hastings, Dictionary of the Bible (five volumes).

http://atheism.about.com/od/biblepeoplenew.../p/Barabbas.htm
Barabbas was a criminal whom the gospels say was released by the Romans instead of Jesus. Bar-abbas means “son of the father,” thus a false “son of the father” was chosen by the Jews to be released while the true “son of the father” was delivered to the Romans for crucifixion

Some early manuscripts of Matthew give Barabbas a surname: Jesus. This may have been a copyist error because the Greek words for “to you” (“release to you Barabbas”) could have looked like an abbreviation for Jesus.

Gematria: 259

A "Terrorist" is an individual who intentionally targets civilians and other innocents in an attempt to create fear amongst the population and overthrow the government through whatever means needed. An example is a man who detonates a bomb in a crowded resturant.

A "Insurgent" "Partisan" or "Guerilla" is a individual who fights against foriegn occupation forces in an attempt to kick the invasion forces out by making it too costly to remain in the area. An example is a man who ambushes a enemy convoy or snipes at their soldiers.
Praticing irregular warfare does not make one a terrorist: how they use the tactics does. A insurgent would plant a bomb in a enemy HQ; a terrorist would plant it in a shopping mall.

As Israel was occupied by a brutally oppressive foriegn power, and Barabas was apparently part of an organization that targeted Roman soldiers, the sicarii were insurgents, not terrorists.
