Whomever the gospels are based on was almost certainly a Son of God.  Pharaohs, some Caesars, Japanese Emperors, and Chinese Emperors all adopted this name "Son of God/Ra/Zeus/Heaven."  The Jewish book mentions "Sons of God" on numerous occasions:

I said, “You are gods,
    sons of the Most High, all of you;
nevertheless, like men you shall die,
    and fall like any prince.”
- Psalms 82:6-7

When people began to multiply on the face of the ground, and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that they were fair; and they took wives for themselves of all that they chose. Then the Lord said, “My spirit shall not abide[a] in mortals forever, for they are flesh; their days shall be one hundred twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them.
- Genesis 6:1-4

The gospels are not compatible with the rest of the Bible and in numerous places sternly criticize the Jewish Bible in particular.



I apologize for thread necromancy, but I just wanted to point out one of the dangers of making a YouTube video a major focus of your position and/or argument: From time to time, they do get taken down. It appears that for the foreseeable future the detailed "prophecy" of The Imperial Cult has been lost into the dustbin of history. Pity.
