Yeah, but if Josephus recorded his predictions he must have been a somebody and therefore a possible model for the Jesus predicting the downfall of Jerusalem in gMark, no?

The Jesus character was modeled after Jewish, Roman, Greek mythology and the writings of Josephus.

There are multiple characters and events in Josephus that are found in the NT Jesus story.

Jesus son of Sapphias was the leader of mariners and poor people in Galilee.

The Life of Josephus

Quote:

So Jesus the son of Sapphias, one of those whom we have already mentioned as the leader of a seditious tumult of mariners and poor people, prevented us, and took with him certain Galileans....

Jesus of the NT supposedly had fishermen from Galilee as his chosen disciples.
