During this time I have not ceased in my endeavor to trace the fragments of the Master's life through 2,000 T years of historical and biblical documents. No investigator has ever approached his life more diligently, or more thoroughly, for my search has been governed by my heart and uncluttered by pre-conceived concepts. I became consumed by questions, as to what he ate, how he dressed, where he was between the ages of one and three, three and twelve and twelve and thirty-three. Nonetheless, nothing that I discovered took away from the magnificence or purpose of his death. Rather I developed a greater passion for more knowledge as a result of my efforts. When I first started my research I little knew that I had begun an investigation that would eventually span three decades. Now I wonder what I might have thought had I known that I, who had found history an intolerable subject in school, would ultimately peruse manuscripts from all parts of the world, including rare translated manuscripts from the Secret Archives of the Roman Vatican. During the early years of my search for the real Jesus, the largest and most important piece of the great puzzle fell into place. It became apparent that the Master taught two teachings; one to the masses and another to his close followers. These hidden teachings instantly captured my heart, and ultimately changed the course of my life. They are so powerful and universal that they are alone sufficient to abolish all religious and racial differences. The early period of my exploration into the life of Jesus of Nazareth was probably more revelation than documentation, some-what like a dawn breaking through the last threads of night. As one of my great teachers, Professor Edmond S. Bordeaux, said, the common or popular literal interpretation of the scripture "did not always correlate with the reality." Jesus sometimes appeared to be a Jesus partially created from human comprehension, subject to exoteric understanding. I had set out to find the truth behind ritual, however, and left no stone unturned regarding either Jesus or his teachings. There had to be answers somewhere and, of course, there were. Eventually I found that many explanations were tied into the seeming duality of heaven and earth. While each living thing, including man appears distinct and separate; this seems to be somewhat of an illusion. I would discover that matter is none other than the dense outer cloak of spirit; or in simple language, the suit of clothes which God wears. It did not take too long to determine that Jesus teachings could be understood on multiple levels and that his more popular teachings were literal and related to basic human comprehension. Accordingly, theories that were not in harmony with the essential nature of the universe were discarded.. Having acquired this knowledge I returned to my studies. Everything the Master taught took on a different meaning, and what had once been a knotted ball of string became straight as a new course to follow was laid out in front of me. To summarize my findings 9 would take many years of writing and teaching. For this reason I have chosen to dedicate myself to the Lost Jesus Scroll, as I believe it will most benefit the world at this time. Evidence of Christianity's secret teachings is replete in the writings of the early church fathers, such as St. Dionysius, the first Bishop of Athens, who said, "The tradition of the sacrament is said to have been divided into three Degrees, or grades; purification, initiation, and accomplishment of perfection." The Apostolic Constitution attributed to Clemens, Bishop of Rome, described the early church (AD 347), saying. "These regu- lations must on no account be communicated to all sorts of persons, because of the Mysteries contained in them." Tertullian (AD 216} stated in his Apology, "None are admitted to the religious Mysteries without an oath of secrecy. We are especially bound to this caution, because if we prove faithless, we should not only provoke Heaven, but also draw upon our heads the utmost rigor of human displeasure. Far hence, ye profane, is the prohibition from all holy Mysteries." Archelaus, Bishop of Cascara in Mesopotamia, who in the year 278, initiated a controversy with the Manichaeans said: "These Mysteries are not explained to the Gentiles at all, nor are they taught openly in the hearing of Catechumens: but much that is spoken is in disguised terms, that the Faithful who posses the knowledge may be still more informed and those not acquainted with it, may suffer no disadvantage." The list goes on to include such Bishops as Cyril, Bishop of Jerusalem, St. Basil, the Great Bishop of Caesarea, St. Ambrose, Archbishop of Milan, and St Augustine, Bishop of Hippo. Nevertheless, the words of St. Cyril, appointed Bishop of Alexandria in 412 AD, best sum up the reason for the secrecy. In his 7th Book against Julian, he writes: "These Mysteries are so pro- found and so exalted, that they can be comprehended only by those who are enlightened. I shall not, therefore, attempt to speak of what is so admirable in them, lest by revealing them to the uninitiated I should offend against the injunction not to give what is holy to the impure, nor cast pearls before such as cannot estimate their worth. "I should say much more if I were not afraid of being heard by those who are uninitiated: because men are apt to deride what they do not understand. And the ignorant, not being aware of the weakness of their minds, condemn what they ought most to venerate." When I chanced to stumble upon the Lost Jesus Scroll, I found myself in the same quandary

  • A Chronological Particular Timeline of Near East and Europe History
    Introduction This compilation was begun merely to be a synthesized, occasional source for other writings, primarily for familiarization with European world development. Gradually, however, it was forced to come to grips with the elephantine amount of historical detail in certain classical sources. Recording the numbers of reported war deaths in previous history (many thousands, here and there!) initially was done with little contemplation but eventually, with the near‐exponential number of Humankind battles (not just major ones; inter‐tribal, dynastic, and inter‐regional), mind was caused to pause and ask itself, “Why?” Awed by the numbers killed in battles over recorded time, one falls subject to believing the very occupation in war was a naturally occurring ancient inclination, no longer possessed by ‘enlightened’ Humankind. In our synthesized histories, however, details are confined to generals, geography, battle strategies and formations, victories and defeats, with precious little revealed of the highly complicated and combined subjective forces that generate and fuel war. Two territories of human existence are involved: material and psychological. Material includes land, resources, and freedom to maintain a life to which one feels entitled. It fuels war by emotions arising from either deprivation or conditioned expectations. Psychological embraces Egalitarian and Egoistical arenas. Egalitarian is fueled by emotions arising from either a need to improve conditions or defend what it has. To that category also belongs the individual for whom revenge becomes an end in itself. Egoistical is fueled by emotions arising from material possessiveness and self‐aggrandizations. To that category also belongs the individual for whom worldly power is an end in itself.

  • Triumph in Defeat: Lost Origins of Jesus Sayings
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Japanese Journal of Policy and Culture Vol. 26 (March 2018) 1 Triumph in Defeat: Lost Origins of Jesus’ Sayings Mark N. ZION Synopsis John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth proclaimed the arrival of a new kingdom for fi rst-century Palestine. Both turned away from the violence of Zealots (resistance fi ghters) and preached a higher way, creating in the process universal ideals. Working together, they launched a transformative moment in human history that is still shaping the world. John offered repentance to enter this newly forming kingdom and Jesus gave the lifestyle injunctions for how to live in it, for both believed that an age of peace and justice was about to begin. As Christianity developed early in the second-century CE, with Paul of Tarsus’ message of a completely spiritual kingdom, it appropriated John the Baptist and Jesus of Nazareth’s vision into its own framework and so severely contextualized it. Yet, the teachings of John and Jesus were too dynamic to keep under wraps for long and have tumbled out again and again in new ways. Studies of these origins have signifi cant applications for our time: how words and symbols have the power to inspire throughout the ages, how to sift through a mythology for core truths, the horrors of prejudice when combined with religious ideologies, even of how to approach ancient cultures for a greater understanding. Here I will consider a little of how these teachings originated and a few of those at the center of it.

  • What Is a Nazarene? He Shall Be Called a Nazarene
    What is a Nazarene? He shall be called a Nazarene. ~Matt 2:23 Nazarene is the title by which Jesus and his followers were referred to. The word 'Christian' was never used by Jesus or used to describe those who followed him. In the New Testament book of Acts, Paul is tried in Caesarea, and Tertullus is reported as saying: "We have, in fact, found this man a pestilent fellow, an agitator among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes" (Acts 24:5, New Revised Standard Version). It is clear that "Christian" was not the earliest term for the followers of Jesus, since Acts 11:26 reports its first use in Antioch - at a time and in a place at least 10 and possibly 20 or more years after the death of Jesus. Many authors have argued that "Nazarene" was not just one term that was used, but the dominant term, and that it was also used to describe Jesus himself. The chief argument for this claim rests on an interpretation of the way Jesus is referred to by the writers of the gospels. The original Greek forms of all four gospels call him, in places, "Iesou Nazarene" (e.g. Matthew 26:71; Mark 1:24, 10:47, 14:67; Luke 4:34; John 17:5; Acts 2:22). Translations of the Bible, from the fifth century Vulgate on, have generally rendered this into a form equivalent to "Jesus of Nazareth." However, it is not the only possible translation. Linguistically, "Jesus the Nazarene" would be at least as correct, and some critics have argued that it is more plausible given that city of Nazareth seems to have not existed at the time of Jesus; it is unmentioned in any contemporary history and it is not possible to prove its early existence other than by reference to the gospels.

Herod the Great, with the support of the Roman Army, executed his father’s poisoner. When Antigonus attempted to seize the throne from his uncle Hyrcanus, Herod the Great defeated him (without, however, managing to capture and kill him) and then, to secure for himself a claim to the throne, took Hyrcanus’s teenage niece, Mariamne (known as Mariamne I), to wife. Inconveniently, he already had a wife, named Doris, and a three-year-old son, named Antipater III — and so he banished both of them.
