Astro-Theology

The Judeo-Christian Bible tells a wonderful story.
It is, in fact, often referred to as  “The Greatest Story Ever Told” (ever SOLD!)
And so it is! You are now about to find out why!

In the New Testament of Christian Bible, a provocative and most serious challenge is laid on the whole of Christianity. Since it bears directly on our subject, we will quote it:

“…if Christ be not risen, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.” (I Cor 15:14, 15, & 17)

In the New Testament there is a warning given to all who would build a house. Namely, before you lay the foundation, find out what the foundation itself will rest on – solid rock, or sand? The reason is obvious … or said another way; “You need to stand under the foundation to get a true under-standing!”

THE FOUNDATIONS

Let’s closely examine the original, conceptual foundations of the faith, and then decide “…if Christ be not risen. ” But in order to do that, we must go back, not 2.000 years to the birth of Christ, but 8 to 10,000 years to the birth of modern man. For when one seeks to establish foundations, one must begin at the beginning.

Many thousands of years ago in what we refer to as the the “primordial world” of the ancients, human life was a far different experience to that which we enjoy today. While it is true that we have less documentation on that prehistoric world than we have on our own age, ample enough is known from the ancient writings to paint a rather clear picture of our primitive ancestry. If we have learned anything at all, it is this: The more we change, the more we stay the same. And nowhere is this more clearly demonstrated than in the history of man’s quest for “God”, and the ancient religion we still keep holy today.

According to the best understanding we have gleaned from the available records, life for our ancient forefathers was a mixture of wonder and fear. Each day, just finding food for one’s family without becoming a meal yourself for the roaming predatory animals, was a life and death struggle. (If you have ever ventured out on a cold night with insufficient clothing, and without friend or family near, you could quickly see how fearful the dark, cold primordial nights could be) And then came winter!

It was from these meager, distressful conditions of the human race that our long history of the search for God and meaning has come. Any evolution, at it’s most accelerated rate, is always agonisingly slow. But from the beginning, man’s’ profound questions demanded answers. When no clear answers were forthcoming from the universe, man turned inward, and developed his own. Keep in mind that all the theological teachings of the Western World were developed in the Northern Hemisphere. The study of this subject is properly called
           – “Astro-Theology” or, “The Worship of the Heavens”.

ASTRO-THEOLOGY------

This is the first, original, and therefore the oldest, and most respected story on Earth! It did not take ancient man very long to decide that in this world the single greatest enemy to be feared was the darkness of night, and all the unknown dangers that came with it. Simply stated, man’s first enemy was darkness.

Understanding this one fact alone, people can readily see why the greatest and most trustworthy friend the human race could ever have was by far, heaven’s greatest gift to the world … that Glorious Rising Orb of Day: …

     the SUN

With this simple truth understood, we can now begin to unravel an ancient and wonderful story.  Today, as in all mankinds’ history, it has once again been told anew.

Modern-day Christianity has often belittled our ancient ancestors who are not here to defend themselves.   They falsely accuse that they were nothing more than ignorant worshippers of the sun. Therefore we can, with assurance, summarily dismiss thousands of years of human spirituality as ignominious myth, believed by well-meaning, but gullible primitives. Too much of this kind of spiritual arrogance and religious pride has continued without challenge. The time has come to set matters straight.

THE CHALLENGE------

First. no people of the ancient world believed the “Sun” to be “God”. That belongs in the “disinformation file”.

In point of fact, every Ancient culture and nation on Earth have all used the Sun as the most logically appropriate symbol to represent the Glory of the unseen Creator of the heavens. Here it is important to remember two points.

First, with the exception of Japan, the ancient world mythologies always understood the Sun to be masculine in qualities, and the moon feminine. Second, the English language is derived from the German. In the Germanic, the word ‘Sun‘ is spelled ‘Sonne’. The two words can (and have been) used interchangeably.

Old Testament:

“The heavens are declaring the Glory of God.” (PS.19: 1)

New Testament:

“Jesus is the Glory of God.” (2 Cor 4:6)

Old Testament:

“The SUN of Righteousness will arise with healings in His wings.” (Mal 4:2)

New Testament:

“God’s Son/Sun…he is risen!” (Matt 4:16)

Saying. “How, often I wanted to gather you under my wing. ”

The Statue of Liberty…to this day, kings still wear a round “crown of thorns,” symbolising the rays of the Sun!

The “Ancient Story” went something like this….

1. The ancient peoples reasoned that no one on Earth could ever lay claim of ownership to the Great Orb of Day. It must belong to the unseen Creator of the Universe. It was, figuratively speaking, not man’s, but “GOD’S SUN”. Truly, “God’s Sun/Son was…

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

2. As stated before, in the dark cold of night man realzed his utter vulnerability to the elements. Each night, mankind was forced to wait for the ” Risen Sun” to chase away the physical and mental insecurity brought on by the darkness. Therefore, the morning Sun focused man’s attention on heavenly dependents for his frail, short existence on Earth, and in doing so, it became the appropriate symbol of divine benevolence from heaven.

3. So just as small fire brought limited light into man’s own little world of darkness, likewise the “Great Fire of Day” served the whole Earth with its heavenly presence.  For this reason, it was said at Deut 4:24, and Heb 12:29 that the God of the Bible was a “Consuming Fire” in heaven. And so He is!

4. It was accepted by all that man was bound to a life on Earth, but the sky was God the Father’s abode – His dwelling place. Naturally, God’s Son/Sun would also reside with his Father ” up in HEAVEN”.

5. Ancient man saw in his male offspring his own image and likeness, and his own existence as a father was proved by the person of his son. It was assumed that God’s ‘Sun was but a visible representative of the unseen Creator in heaven. So it was said, “When you have seen the Sun, you have seen the Father “. or “The Father is glorified in his Sun”.

6. Ancient man had no problem understanding that all life on Earth depended directly on life-giving energy from the Sun. Consequently, all life was lost without the Sun. It followed that God’s ‘Sun’ was nothing less than “Our very Saviour”.  If you don’t think so, wait ’till it don’t come up!

7. Since life is energy, and energy from the Sun gave life, and we sustained our very existence by taking energy in from our food (which came directly from God’s Sun), the Sun must give up its life supporting energy so that we may continue to live.

“God’s Sun gives his life for us to live.”

8. While it was plainly true that our life came from and was sustained each day by “Our Savior… God’s Sun”, it was and would be true only as long as the Sun would return each morning. Our hope of salvation would be secure only in a “RISEN savior”. For if he did not rise from his grave of darkness, all would be lost. All the world waited patiently for His ‘imminent return”. The Divine Father would never leave us at the mercy of this world of darkness. His Heavenly promise concerning his Sun was surely that…”He would come again“…to light our path, and save those lost in the darkness … and He still does…every morning about 5:30 am.

9. Logically, even if man himself died, as long as the Sun comes up each day, life on Earth will continue forever. Therefore, it was said in the ancient texts that everlasting life was “the gift” that the Father gives through his Sun. For…”God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten SUN that we may have life everlasting”….on Earth!  Not for you personally – but ON EARTH… everlasting life!

10. Since evil and harm lurked at every turn in the fearful dark of night, all evil or harmful deeds were naturally, the…”works of darkness.”

11. With the return of the Sun each morning, man felt more secure in his world and therefore, was at peace. Therefore, God’s ‘Sun’ was with his warm rays of life and hope…The Great “Prince of Peace“.

12. And of course the reverse was equally true. The dark evil of night was ruled by none other than…”Prince of Darkness“… The EVIL / DEVIL.

13. Our English words ‘Good’ and ‘God’ we get from the German word ‘Goth’ as in ‘Gothic’. Now we see God is Good, and Devil is Evil

14. It was only a short step to see “The Light of God’s Sun” equated with the light of truth – and evil equated with darkness. From then on, it was simple to understand…

      “LIGHT was GOOD – DARK was BAD.”

15. That being true, then the Great Orb of Day (God’s Sun) could rightly say of itself,

“I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, and no man comes to the Father except through me”, or one comes to God Only by the Light of Truth.

16. We should all “give thanks” to the Father for sending us His “Sun”. For the peace and tranquility he brings to our life is even called ‘Solace’ – from “Solar” = Sun.

17. We now have before us two (2) cosmic brothers – one very good, and one very evil. One brings the “truth to light” with the “light of truth”. The other is the opposite, or in opposition to the light – “The Opposer”…      Prince of this World of Darkness–     The “Devil”.

18. It is at this point that we come to Egypt. More than 3,000 years before Christianity began, the early morning “Sun/ Savior” was pictured in Egypt as the “New Born Babe”. The infant savior’s name was “HORUS”.

19. The early morning Sun or “New Born Babe”, was pictured in two ways.
A) The Dove – Bringer of Peace
B) The Hawk – God of War
(who punishes the enemies of God!).

20. At daybreak. this wonderful, newborn child, God’s ‘Sun’, is … ‘Born Again’ Horus is Risen. Even today, when the Sun comes up, we see it on the “Horus-Risen”, or “Horizon”. His life was also divided into 12 parts or steps across Heaven each day: 12 HORUS = 12 HOURS. This is the origin of the modern ” 12 Step Program”. Horus is the (new-born) Sun, or the Bringer of the Light. In Latin, Light Bringer is Lucis, or Lucifer, or Luke.

21. But now, what about the evil brother of God’s Sun, that old rascally “Prince of Darkness” himself? In the Egyptian, he was called “SET”. We are told in the Bible that when God’s Sun died, He left the world in the hands of the Evil Prince of Darkness. This evil prince took over the world at “SON-SET“.

22. It was generally observed that ‘God’s Sun’ could be depended upon to return in the same manner that he left, namely, “On a Cloud“”..and that “Every eye will see Him“” … Every evening, go out and watch the Sun leave this world “on a cloud”. And next morning, watch to see Him return on a cloud. And every eye will see him come again! … Unless you’re blind!

23. Keep in mind ‘God’s Sun’ symbolically represented the light of truth, but was condemned by His enemies who could not endure the light of truth in their life. The ancients taught that the very act of opposing or denying the light of truth to the point of killing it, happened in one’s own mind! When we are confronted with the harsh realities of life, the light of truth, which we do not wish to face, and which runs counter to our views, such truth is judged in your mind, or judged “in the temple area” of your brain, and put to death in your head !Therefore, ‘God’s Sun – The Truth and The Light – is put to death at “GOLGOTHA” , or “PLACE OF THE SKULL “, located somewhere between your ears! This putting to death of the light of truth in your mind is always accompanied by two thieves: Regret for the past and Fear of the future.

24. And of course God’s ‘Sun’ goes to His death wearing a “corona” – Latin for “Crown of Thorns” . Remember the Statue of Liberty? To this day, Kings still wear a round crown of thorns, symbolizing the rays of the Sun!

25. God’s ‘Sun’ brought His wonderful light to the world, and distributed it over 12 months. So it was said, God’s ‘Sun’ had 12 companions, or helpers, that assisted His life-saving work. So it was, God’s ‘Sun’ had 12 apostles (or months) that followed Him religiously through His life. Incidentally, now you know why the American jury system has 12 jurors who help bring the truth to light, with the “Light of Truth”.

26. As far back as we can go into the ancient world, we find that all known cultures had a “Three-in-one” Triune God. The very first trinity was simply the three stages of the life of the Sun.

   A) New Born Savior at dawn.

   B) Mature, full-grown (The Most High) at 12 (High) noon.

   C) Old and dying, at the end of day (going back to The Father).

All three were of course One Divinity – The Sun   three different phases, but one God!

The Trinity is truly a mystery…Like electricity, radio, TV, and jumbo-jets are all a mystery to the un-enlightened mind!

27. The Egyptians knew that the Sun was at its highest point in the sky (at high noon). At that point, one offered prayers to the “Most High” God! To the ancients, the sky was the abode, or heavenly temple, of the “Most High”. Therefore, God’s ‘Sun’ was doing His heavenly Father’s work of enlightening all in the temple at 12 …not 12 years old, but 12 noon!

28. The world of ancient man kept track of times and seasons by the movement of the Sun daily, monthly, and yearly. For this, the sundial and sun calendars were devised. Not only the daily movement of the Sun was tracked on the round dial, but also the whole year was charted on a round Sun calendar dial. Examples: Ancient Mexican, Mayan, Inca, Aztec, Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Celtic, Aryan, etc. With this method, certain new concepts emerged in the mind of ancient man.

29. Since the Earth experienced 4 different seasons, all the same and equal (in time) each year, the round Sun calendar was divided into 4 equal parts. This is also why we have, in the Bible, only 4 Gospels. Of this point, there can be no doubt. The 4 Gospels represent the four 4 seasons which collectively tell the entire story of the life of God’s ‘Sun’. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. This is why the famous painting of “The Last Supper” pictures the 12 followers of the Sun in four groups (of three) … the seasons!

30. On the round surface of the yearly calendar, you can draw a straight line directly across the middle, cutting the circle in half… one end being the point of the winter solstice; the other end being the point of the summer solstice. Then you can draw another straight line (crossing the first one); one end of the new line being the spring equinox; the other end being the autumn equinox. You now have the starting points for each of the 4 seasons. This is referred to by all major encyclopedias and reference works, both ancient and modern, as “The Cross of the Zodiac”. Thus, the life of God’s ‘Sun’ is on “the Cross”. This is why we see the round circle of the Sun on the crosses of Christian churches. The next time you pass a Christian church, look for the circle (God’s Sun) on the cross.

The Sun, since the first day of summer, has each day been moving southward, and stops when it reaches its lowest point in the Northern Hemispheric sky (December 22nd – our winter solstice).

At this lowest point, the Sun stops its journey southward.  For three days, December 22nd, 23rd , and 24th, the Sun rises on the exact same latitudinal (declination) degree.

This is the only time in the year that the Sun actually stops its movement Northward or Southward in our sky. On the morning of December 25th the Sun moves one degree northward beginning its annual journey back to us in the Northern Hemisphere, ultimately bringing our spring. Anything steadily moving all year long that suddenly stops moving for three days was considered to have died. Therefore, God’s Sun who was dead for three days, moves one-degree Northward on December 25th beginning its annual journey back to the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun is symbolically ….BORN AGAIN.

And to this day, His worshippers still celebrate His BIRTHDAY!…. Merry Christmas.

31. Today we use expressions when someone dies. We say things like, “They Passed“, or “They Passed On”, or “They Passed Away”. The ancients said “They Passed Over” (from one life to another), And so it was with the coming of spring, as God’s Sun is “Resurrected” from the Death of Winter to His New Life (in spring).

In the ancient world, long before the Hebrews ever existed, the celebration of spring was called “The Pass Over.” The Sun, which was dead in winter, has passed over to His new life in spring. This is the origin of the modern Pass Over celebration.

This is why Christians also celebrate “The Resurrection”, or His return, in spring with a “Sun Rise service”… He kept His Promise, and has returned to us with the Promise of New Life… “HAPPY EASTER-PASSOVER!”

Judas Story

The Betrayer

Judas “the betrayer” is mentioned over 30 times in the Christian New Testament. The similarity of the names of "Judas" and "Jews" makes the intention of the story suspect since the Christians classify Jews as evil people in their New Testament which glorifies Christianity as the replacing religion of Judaism.

The specific name was used to put the responsibility of Jesus's death on the Jews in order to negate any doubts concerning their fable that the Jews would raise since they were living in the area and knew that the events never occurred.   Others would see a Jew betraying one of his own.  It also parallels the kingdom of Judah betraying the northern kingdom of Israel.  This would also make others look unfavorably on Jews who would refuse to believe the fabled Christian religion.

Gospel of Judas

The Gospel of Judas portrays Judas as a most trusted disciple and acted according to the wished of Jesus. If Jesus intentionally died for everyone’s sins according to his plan then there was no unintentional death by the betrayal of Judas.

After being lost for nearly 1,700 years, the "Gospel of Judas" was recently restored, authenticated, and translated. The Coptic, or Egyptian Christian, manuscripts were unveiled at National Geographic Society headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Some biblical scholars are calling the Gospel of Judas the most significant archaeological discovery in 60 years.  The only known surviving copy of the gospel was found in a codex, or ancient book, that dates back to the third or fourth century A.D.

The text goes on to describe Judas as Jesus' closest friend, someone who understands Christ's true message and is singled out for special status among Jesus' disciples.

In the key passage Jesus tells Judas, "'you will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the man that clothes me.'"

Kasser, the translation-project leader, offers an interpretation: "Jesus says it is necessary for someone to free him finally from his human body, and he prefers that this liberation be done by a friend rather than by an enemy."

Did Judas do it?

NO,

Judas didn’t do it.  The Devil did it. Satan entered into Judas and corrupted him.

As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”     John 13:27

Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.     Luke 22:3

Devil was not involved.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.      Mark 14:10

When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” 5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”     Matthew 27:3-10

When did the Devil enter into Judas?

YES, BEFORE the Last Supper.

Then entered Satan into Judas, . . . and he went his way and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him. . . . Then came the day of unleavened bread when the passover must be killed.      Luke 22:3, 4, 7.

YES, AFTER the Last Supper.

And after the sop Satan entered into him.      John 13:27.

Did Judas identify Jesus with a kiss?

Yes.

Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.       Matthew 26:47-49

And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.       Mark 14:43-45

No Kiss

And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?       Luke 22:47-48

No, Jesus identified himself.

Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he.       John 18:3-5

Why did Jesus have to be identified at all since he was so well known and famous through out the land.  The deceptive kiss is merely an erotic  literary device used in plays through out ancient times.

Where did the money come from to bribe Judas?

Judas

He was a corrupt treasurer of the disciples.

 Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.     John 13:29

The priests.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.     Mark 14:10

When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.” 5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”     Matthew 27:3-10

Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.     Luke 22:3

Jesus named Judas as a betrayer at the last supper.

NO, he didn’t

While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”     Mark 14:18

But the hand of him who is going to betray me is with mine on the table. 22 The Son of Man will go as it has been decreed. But woe to that man who betrays him!”     Luke 22:21-22

YES, he did.

Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.      John 13:26

Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “You have said so.”    Matthew 26:25

How did Judas die?

He hanged himself.

And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple, and departed, and went out and hanged himself.   Matthew 27:5

His stomach burst open

    according to Luke.

And falling headlong he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.   Acts 1:18

Did Judas repent for what he had done to Jesus before he killed himself?

NO, he didn’t.

beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”     Acts 1:22

YES, he did.

   Judas regretted his betrayal.

So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.     Matthew 27:5

Where did Judas die?

At “Blood Acre” 

   According to Luke;       

18 (With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19 Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)        Acts 1:15-22

Matthew did not know.

So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.     Matthew 27:5

Who bought the land “Blood Acre”?

Judas himself.

Now, this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity.   Acts 1:18

Judas returned the money.

3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”     Matt 27:3-7

The Priests bought it.

And the chief priests took the silver pieces, . . . and bought with them the potter’s field.   Matt. 27:6, 7.

What does the name “Blood Acre” Mean?

Judas’s blood death,

    according to Luke.

Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)     Acts 1:19

The blood money used to buy the land.

That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.     Matthew 27:8

Jeremiah’s 30 Pieces of Silver?

NOT … Christians claim the verse in Jeremiah prophesized the 30 pieces of silver.

Again, Christians demand that you to “Just Believe”, and don’t think you will check up on them.

And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field to bury strangers in. Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him and who was priced, whom they and the children of Israel priced. And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.’    Matthew 27:7-10 citing Jeremiah 32:6-9

Jeremiah referred to seven shekels and 10 pieces of silver and not to a potter’s field, but to house plots, fields, and vineyards.

Behold, Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy yourself my field that is in Anathoth, for upon you is the law of redemption, to buy it … I weighed out the money for him; seven shekels and ten pieces … For thus said Hashem, Master of Legions, God of Israel,; ‘Houses, fields and vineyards will yet be bought in this land.’    Jeremiah 32:6, 32:9 32:15.

Jeremiah land was a land of hope and restoration NOT a negative portrayal of guilt and death. And NO … that is NO 30 pieces of silver.

Zechariah’s 30 Pieces of Silver

10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.

11 It was revoked on that day, and so the oppressed of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of theLord.

12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.

13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.

14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the family bond between Judah and Israel.

Zechariah 11:12-13

This is not Jeremiah as Matthew quoted.  It is Zechariah.  It is the only mention of 30 pieces of silver.  And the context is totally different than that is quoted by Matthew as prophesy.

Annunciation

Mary was going to have "God's" Child....

and.....God an Adulterer???

1  THE “WORD OF GOD” IS UNCERTAIN AS TO IF MARY WAS LEGALLY MARRIED TO JOSEPH (SHE HAD AN AFFAIR WITH THE “THE HOLY SPIRIT” AND BECAME IMPREGNATED).

A   No, Not married.   

   It was the betrothal time (engagement period).

27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.     Luke 1:27

This was the period after the Erusin ceremony (something of value was given in the presence of witnesses as a binding commitment to be married within a year at the Nisuin ceremony (Ketuba signed and chupa).  They did not cohabitate and the laws of adultery applied.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

      Matt. 1:20

B   Yes, She was married.

Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.     Matthew 1:19

According to Matthew, the “Holy Spirit” committed adultery!!!  

According to Luke, Mary was an unwed mother, and Jesus was a Bas*^*^rd.

2  When was the Annunciation?

Before Conception

Annunciation was before Mary conceived,

26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.

       Luke 1:26-31.

After Conception

She was already pregnant,

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

       Matt 1:18-21.

3  Who was the Annunciation made to?

Mary

Annunciation was made to Mary, 

The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”

     Luke 1:28.

Joseph

It was made to Joseph,

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

      Matt. 1:20

Why is the virgin birth ignored by Mark and John? Why does Jesus never refer to it? Nor does Paul. Only Mary could have known the real truth, but nobody claims to have the facts from her. 

Cons Mother

Constantine’s Mother

Part of his influence in decreeing the Catholic religion as the state religion came from his mother, Helena, who had converted to Christ sometime before.  She was implicated in the murder of Constantine’s step mother and was forced to flee and live in exile.  She went on a pilgrimage to the holy land.  There, by a miracle, she found the tomb of Jesus.  She also, by a miracle found the birth place of Jesus.  She also, by a miracle, found the remains of the three crosses that were used to crucify Jesus and the other two thieves.   This discovery was truly miraculous since Rome had crucified thousands of Jews in the 300 years since the death of Jesus to the time of her discovery.

When Constantine heard of his mother’s discoveries, he had churches built on the sites and to this day people go to these places for reverence.  His mother sent pieces of the crosses all across the Empire and are still seen in churches today.  The Catholic Church was so impressed by her that they made her a Saint and labeled her “Saint Helena, Discoverer of the True Cross.”

Passover Timeline

The Palm Sunday before Passover ---------------->

Donkey ride 

This is the exact copy of the 2,000 years before any 0 A.D. date, the Egyptian myth of Set riding into the city in triumph.  No man and even "god in the flesh" can ride an ass and her foal at the same time. 

Two, a Donkey and a Colt

The donkey ride into Jerusalem: Jesus rode both a donkey and a colt. 

Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.       Matt 21:5-7 

Only the Colt 

And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.      Mark 11:7

And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.        Luke 19:35

A Young Ass 

And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,      John 12:14

Where is it written???????????????????

Donkey - Who found it? 

Jesus

Jesus "found" the animal himself;

14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,      John 12:14

Disciples 

the others say the disciples found it according to Jesus' instructions.

2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.    Mark 11:2-4

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.   Luke 19:30-32

Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.    Matt 21:2

 

-------------Passover Timeline ---------------------------------------->

Morning Before Passover

28 Then the Jewish leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to avoid ceremonial uncleanness they did not enter the palace, because they wanted to be able to eat the Passover.       John 18:28

Noon Before Passover

14 It was the day of Preparation of the Passover; it was about noon.  “Here is your king,” Pilate said to the Jews.
    - John 19:14

The First Day of 

17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
    - Matt 26:17 

12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
    -  Mark 14:12 

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
    - Luke 22:7  

Just Before Passover

13 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.     John  13:1

Before Passover

29 Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival, or to give something to the poor.     John  13:29

Crucified Before Passover Meal!

C.  THE NINETH HOUR, 3 PM

34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).     Mark 15:33

31 Now it was the day of Preparation [Day before Passover], and the next day was to be a special Sabbath [High Holiday falls on Saturday]. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down.     John 19:31

Crucified Before Passover Meal!

41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 
42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation [Day before Passover] and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.      - John 19:41-42

"Evening Meal in Progress"

2 The evening meal was in progress [Passover], and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 
John 13:2

During Passover Meal (wait, wasn't Jesus dead then?)

14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating [Passover], he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.”
Mark 14:14

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 
Mark 14:22-24

Jesus at Passover Meal Verified by Matthew

18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 
19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 
21 And while they were eating [Passover], he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
Matthew 26:18-21

26 While they were eating [Passover], Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
27 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 
28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
Matt 26:26-27

Jesus at Passover Meal Verified by Luke

14 When the hour came [Sunset], he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer;        Luke 22:14

After Passover Meal

27 And after the sop [Passover] Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.        John 13:27

After the Meal ... to Gethsemane to Pray

26 While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread, and after blessing it he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you;

30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.      Matthew 26:26-30

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.      Matthew 26:36

Jesus Arrested

47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.     Matthew 26:47

Off to See Caiaphas the High Priest

57 Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled.       Matthew 26:57

After Caiaphas ... to see the Governor Pilate

1 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed. 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.     Matthew 27:1-2

11 And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.        Matthew 27:11

Turned over after Jesus was Crucified

A  AT 9 AM, THE THIRD HOUR

 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him.     Mark 15:25  NIV

B  AFTER 12 NOON, THE SIXTH HOUR

And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour; and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your king. . . . Shall I crucify your king?  John 19:14, 15

45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. 

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?   

50 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.       Matthew 27:45-50
