Puzzling Out The Nature Of Jesus

Puzzling Out The Nature Of Jesus by R.E. Prindle Perhaps the most difficult and significant religious problem in religion is the nature of Jesus. That nature can be divided into two parts: one is his role as the avatar of the Age of Pisces and the other is his role as the Savior, the ‘historical’ Jesus. The ancient basal astronomical religion represented by the Zodiac is the pavement under all Western religions. There will perhaps be objections to my introducing the role of the Zodiac into the problem; however the Zodiac played a large role in the religious life in ancient history. The Zodiac is both a religious symbol and a calendar or time keeping devise. The transition points between the Ages is fraught with danger. One only has to examine the transition points between Taurus and Aires and from Aires to Pisces to see great points of conflict. That between Pisces and Aquarius is shaping up to be worse than the former two.. The ancients well before the current Great Year had worked out the astronomical fact of the Great Year. While they might not yet have had the ability to work out the whys and wherefores with their limited knowledge, they understood that a Great Year of 25,900 years or so corresponded with the wobble of the earth caused by the Plane of the Ecliptic as we now understand. Just as the annual year was divided into twelve months, on the principle of as above, so below, the Great Year was divided into twelve Ages of 2100 and some odd years. To identify the Ages of the Great Year they organized great star constellations ordered around the earth. Thus, as the wobble progressed the sun rose in the stars of each Age. As a religious symbol each Age was ruled by a male and female avatar. Thus, in the Ages crucial to our history are those of Leo, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces and now Aquarius. Six Ages add up to a half year, thus as Leo begins the Spring of the Great Year so Aquarius begins the Fall. Many see the Zodiac as a fortune telling device but the ancients used it differently so that to understand the problem we have to view it in their context. So there were twelve pairs of gods to reign over the twelve signs. Twelve thus became a sacred number as in twelve tribes of Israel, twelve gods of Greece posited by Homer and so on. The Greek avatars of Taurus and Aries are quite clear and the avatar of Gemini is faintly visible. The three represent six thousand three hundred plus years The avatar for Gemini was Uranus, for Taurus Cronus and for Aires Zeus, for the coming Piscean Age, Dionysus was scheduled. The world problem down to our times was at the transit from Taurus to Aires. The Age of Aires Is actually the period of the rise of mankind. As it was supposed, the transit was to a new sky and a new earth. In other words the stars of the constellation of Aries were different than the stars of the constellation of Taurus, thus a new sky. It was then expected that as the constellations changed above so people would adopt the new avatars as their gods. As the stars represent the primordial universal religion of mankind all peoples did,own except one splinter group of Asians, the proto-Jews. They maintained that Saturn, the avatar of Taurus was an eternal unchanging god. They continued to worship Saturn thus cutting themselves off from mankind. It took a millennium for the name Jews to be affixed to these people who were known then as Hebrews. This people was known as a peculiar people and they have remained so through the Ages. Taurus, Aries, Pisces and as we transit to the New Age, Aquarius. Prior to Aries the Jews were of the great tribe of Semites from all the Semites occupying Mesopotamia, happy as clams of the Age of Saturn, Taurus. The Jews were however obstinate they were demanding and not giving. What was the solution to the problem? Quite simply expulsion. The Jews were driven out. Problem solved, right? Not quite. The stage was merely set for the next act. Now things get really difficult to explain. The Jews were now hurt in their amour propre. How to explain their rejection to themselves. Not so difficult. They were simply correct and the majority was wrong. Four thousand years later this is still their position. They believe themselves incredibly intelligent and the rest of the world irredeemably stupid. They were the master people, not the subordinate. But, not content with just believing that, they had to dominate. The ancients had colleges of priests to maintain nearly timeless memories. The priests remembered Astronomical things such as the Zodiac and passed the information down generation to generation. The Jews became in their own imagination ‘a nation of priests.’ They realized that they were a small minority so that a plan of action was necessary. They needed to be a large nation so the plan was to go forth and multiply, in modern terms, to weaponize their population.. As an example by the time of the Roman Empire they may have been the largest nation by number in existence, because they had gone forth and multiplied. They were present throughout all of the cities of the Roman Empire. They had a very large presence in Rome itself, millions in Egypt, hundreds of thousands in Anatolia and the Perian Empire. The priests had devised methods to keep the satellite settlements unassimilable so that the that the nation remained loyal. It would be silly to believe that the settlements were undifferentiated from each other just as in the US today New York Jews are different from LA Jews, etc., but they remained united. They were all Jews. But we are time traveling here a little; matters have to progress from their expulsion from Ur of the Chaldees. It was a long haul down the Age of Aries, twenty-one hundred years. Just as now we are looking at twenty-one hundred down the Age of Aquarius and not planning very well. Their career did progress as it had begun. Next they had a layover at Padan Aram, another great religious center. Here they were caught swindling their masters with some absurd, impossible scheme. Expelled again. The pattern develops. If I am correct this last expulsion coincided with the volcanic eruption of the island of Thera in the Aegean Sea. This was the defining event of the Age of Aries. The eruption was immense wearing the majorityof a fairly gigantic volcano down below sea level. The ash distribution was wide and immense and it went on for a long time. The winds must have been the Western Zephyr, if in Summer, or the Boreal blast if in winter. Ash was delivered in large quantities over the cities of the Near East and probably in some quantity over Egypt. It is very likely at this time that the Jews escaped from Padan Aram. As they progressed down through what would become Palestine crops buried in ash created a great famine so that the Jews continued on down to Egypt. So in about 1600 BC they entered Egypt and stayed for about 400 years down to 1200 BC How to characterize their presence in Egypt. The end result of their behavior matched their beginning and that or Padon Aram and would be repeated in their expulsion from Spain in mid Pisces. Remember that their expulsion from Ur of the Chaldees was caused by the inability to accept the authority of the priestly castes of which they undoubtedly had members and this intransigeance was probably abetted by violent behavior. Throughout the Arien Age the Jews in all their various locations were noted for tearing down other religions altars backed by a belligerent attitude. In Egypt also they disdained Egyptian religious practices. The Egyptians had large classes of sacred animals which were protected from killing. The Jews scoffed at the idea of sacred animals and refused to honor the practice killing them at will. This offence was added to all their other refusals to honor Egyptian customs. They mocked Egyptian skills claiming theirs were better. If you have a Christian background you will remember the contest between Moses and the Egyptian magicians for instance in which according to the Jews they won hands down. The Egyptian side of the contest hasn’t surfaced yet. They put themselves in competition with the Egyptians in such a manner according to them that the Pharaoh noticing that their population was growing so inordinately fast that they might outnumber his own people while bring greatly superior took action. Thus, he declared the Slaughter of the Innocents. He decreed the slaughter of all new born Jewish boy children. This, of course, incensed the Jews who were not slow to develop defensive measures. I interject a passage from Rabbi Louis Ginzberg’s amazing compilation, ‘The Legends of the Jews’ pp.207-208. This is longish but amazing: Quote: The king then spoke to Job, and said: “What sayest thou, Job, and what is thy advice respecting the Hebrews?” Job replied: “Behold, all the inhabitants of the land are in thy power: Let the king do as seemeth good in his eyes.” Balaam was the last to speak at the behest of the king, and he said: “From all that the king may devise against the Hebrews, they will be delivered. If thou thinkest to diminish them by the flaming fire, thou wilt not prevail over them, for their god delivered Abraham their father from the furnace in which the Chaldeans cast him. Perhaps thou thinkest to destroy them with a sword, but their father Isaac was delivered from being slaughtered by the sword. And if thou thinkest to reduce them through hard and rigorous labor, thou wilt also not prevail. For their father Joseph served Laban in all manner of hard and rigorous labor, and yet he prospered. If it please the king, let him order all the male children that shall be born in Israel this day forward to be thrown into the water. Thereby canst thou wipe out their name, for neither any of them nor any of their fathers was tried in this way.’ THE SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENTS Balaam’s advice was accepted by Pharaoh and the Egyptians. They knew that God pays measure for measure, therefore they believed that the drowning of the men children would be the safest means of exterminating the Hebrews, without incurring harm themselves, for the Lord said unto Noah to never again destroy the world by water. Thus, they assumed, they would be exempt from punishment, where in they were wrong, however. In the first place, though the Lord had sworn not to bring a flood upon men, there was nothing in the way of bringing men into a flood. Furthermore, the oath of God applied to the whole of mankind, not to a single nation. The end of the Egyptians was that they met their death in the billows of the Red Sea. “Measure for measure”—as they had drowned the men children of the Israelites, so they were drowned. Pharaoh now took steps to the faithful execution of his decree. He sent the bailiffs into the houses of the Israelites, to discover all new born children, wherever they might be. To make sure that the Hebrews should not succeed in keeping the children hidden, the Egyptians hatched a devilish plan. Their women were to take their little ones to the houses of the Israelitish women that were suspected of having infants. When the Egyptian children began to cry or coo, the Hebrew children kept in hiding would join in, after the manner of babies and betray their presence, where upon the Egyptians would seize them and bear them off. Furthermore Pharoah commanded that the Israelitish women employ none but Egyptian midwives, who were to secure precise information as to the time of their delivery, and were to exercise great care, and let no male child escape their vigilance alive. If there should be parents that evaded the command and preserved a new-Born boy in secret, they and all belonging to them were to be killed. Is it to be wondered at then, that many of the Hebrews kept themselves away from their wives? Nevertheless those who put their trust in God were not forsaken by Him. The women who remained united to their husbands would go out into the field when their time of delivery arrived, and give birth to their children and leave them there, while they themselves returned home. The Lord who had sworn unto their ancestors to multiply them, sent one of His angels to wash the babes, anoint them, stretch their limbs and swathe them. Then he would give them two small pebbles, from one of which they sucked milk, and from the other honey. And God caused the hair of the infants to grow down to their knees and serve them as a protective garment, and then he ordered the earth to receive the babes, that they be sheltered therein until their time of growing up, when it would open its mouth and vomit forth the children, and they would sprout up like the herb of the field and the grass of the forest. Thereafter each would return to his family and the house of his father. When the Egyptians saw this, they went forth every man to his field, with his yoke of oxen, and they ploughed up the earth, as one plows it at seed time. Yet they were unable to do harm to the infants of the children of Israel that had been swallowed and lay in the bosom of the earth. Thus the people of Israel increased and waxed exceedingly. And Pharaoh ordered his officers to go to Goshen, to look for the male babes of the children of Israel and when they discovered one, they tore him from his mother’s breast by force and thrust him into the river. But no one is so valiant as to be able to foil God’s purposes, though he contrive ten thousand subtle devices unto that end. The child foretold by Pharaoh’s dreams and by his astrologers was brought up and kept concealed from the king’s spies. It came to pass after the following manner. Unquote. That was the prequel to the birth of Moses. So Moses is more than likely a fictional character and an impossible one. Who was Moses supposed to be? Let’s follow his story through. He’s a proscribed baby boy, so was Zeus. He was buried in mother earth. He was given stones of milk and honey to suck on for sustenance for eighteen to twenty one years. Zeus was proscribed and born in a cave with goddesses as nursemaids. Moses was dug up, miraculously finding his way to parents he had never seen as with their house. An alternate version says that the Egyptians found him as a baby and thrust him into the river to be rescued by an Egyptian Princess, thus becoming an Egyptian Prince. Sargon of Mesopotamia followed this prescription also. Having been received by Mother Earth Moses was subsequently raised to the highest level on a mountain top much like the Greek Zeus where he was greeted by God, talked to him, gazed on his face and given twin tablets that he dropped on the way down the mountain so that he had to go back for two replacements. These contained innocuous commandments that were common everywhere and certainly in Egypt in which the Jews had been living for 400 years, and remember Moses was reared by Egyptians thus knowing little of Jewish customs. He was as a stranger to them. At the time of death on the brink of the promised land he disappeared no one knew where. With his association to the Zodiac through Zeus, the Greek avatar of Aires, I would project that he was intended to be the ‘eternal’ god Saturn who didn’t die on the cusp of Aires but lived in the Jewish mind and who would soon be replaced by Jesus on the cusp of Pisces. While Saturn failed to displace Zeus in Aires, Jesus/Saturn would replace Zeus’ intended successor Dionysus/Osiris combined into one entity. Two vegetation gods. Thus Jesus/Saturn the Jewish candidate displaced the vegetation god of the Hellenic/Egyptian candidates. Thus, the Jews proved to their satisfaction that Saturn was eternal over three signs and we’ll see what happens in the Age of Aquarius. Now, at the time of Moses in Rabbi Ginzberg’s styling, who says he has examined all existing Jewish texts to compile his rather magnificent ‘The Legends of the Jews’, the Jews were in full revolt against Pharaoh. Pharaoh, exasperated, drove the Jews out of Egypt. That may be true, but this scene in the life of the Jews took place c. 1200 BC when the Middle East was in turmoil and Egypt was beleaguered in the Delta and by invading Asians by land. I coordinate these events to have taken place after the Greek destruction of the holy city of Troy. Thus fleeing Trojan bands might easily have ejected various locations driving the peoples into Egypt as it were creating mass chaos. The Greek leader, Menelaus, is said to have taken his troops down to Egypt rather than going home. Thus it is possible that in the chaos the Jews were simply ejected over the overland route as part of the general warfare. But, once again the Jews suffered expulsion adding to their ferocity. The record is lengthening. Remember that we are dealing with immense swatches of time. In a rather bloodthirsty entry of the Jews into Palestine involving various genocides and total destruction they established themselves from c. 1200 Bc to 486 BC.. In 486 in a war with Babylon Jerusalem was leveled and the population trekked off to captivity. Woe, but another expulsion. Babylon fell to the Persians about 436 B.C. and any Israelis who wished could return to Jerusalem, a smattering of people did while the majority chose to remain with the fleshpots of Babylon which were substantial. Thus over the remainder of Aires of four hundred years the Jews formed a very large population in the Persian Empire quite independent of those in, shall we now call it, Israel? Actually the term Israel is applied to the Jewish people, while the land of Israel is so named aftter its people. At the time the land would have been called Judaea. Don’t get too comfortable in your seat because change is ever the law in the world and we’ve got a lot of changes coming up. After Alexander of Macedon conquered the Eastern end of the Mediterranean and extended his conquest to the Aryan settlements of India he had achieved the near universal State of the ancient world. The Hellenic world was united but only temporarily for Alexander died on his return, the Empire was divided among his generals. The General Seleucus took all lands that lay above Egypt including Israel. His bad luck. The conquest introduced the Greek style of civilization to the Eastern Med where it was warmly received by everyone including a large portion of Israelites called the Sadducees. The Jewish reactionary party was called the Pharisees. The Seleucid overseers had too much on their plate losing their control to the Jewish Maccabean revolutionaries. Israel thus briefly became an independent State of golden memory. Egypt had been allotted to General Ptolemy. The Ptolemaic empire prospered for three hundred years before falling to Rome. Now things are beginning to take shape. With only three hundred years left in the Arien Age it was time for planning the accession of Pisces. One must assume that the priestly colleges began to organize their agenda to create the event. Bear in mind that a Jew, Jesus the God will be chosen the avatar who is neither Jesus of Nazareth nor Jesus the Christ while Jesus the Christ is Judeo/Greco/Egyptian and no longer wholly Jewish. The End of the Age of Aries is quite different than the beginning. The Hellenes have become totally dominant at all points in the culture. Egyptian dominance has retreated although the priestly college of Memphis is powerful backed by the Greco-Egyptian Library of Alexandria; Rome has completed the universal State begun by Alexander of Macedon. The Jews coming into existence at the beginning of Aries have survived all the vicissitudes of Aires to become a major influence at the end. A sliver off the Semites at the beginning they have now become one of the most numerous people at the end. While only the smaller people of Israel is today considered, at the time Egypt contained at least two million, the Persian Empire millions more while every city in the Empire had a large colony and Rome’s population itself probably equaled that of Alexandria. Throw in the population of the islands and you have perhaps what could amount to a mighty nation and under Paul that dispersed population essentially subverted the Empire, becoming the Empire’s successor as the spiritual Roman Catholic Church of Sts. Peter and Paul, two Jews. Of course the Empire went to hell as a result. The loss of 70 was avenged. THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF PISCES We are concerned here with the religious development of Aries and Pisces. The small unrelated kingdoms of early Aries were now coalesced into a universal State under the aegis of Rome. Such a universal State required a universal religion. In the new state of affairs the field was open. Any universal religion might aspire to become primary. It would have been impossible to organize all the old Hellenic religions under one god. The only existing religion with possibilities was the Jewish national religion which had an invisible god that could be adapted to all peoples as Paul ultimately was able to do, but. In the final quarter of Aries Godt was inflexibly bound to the Jewish people. The Hellenic Empire with its pantheon probably seemed appropriate to be the winner, especially united with Egyptian religion. The great priestly college of Memphis had the ways and means. The college was not reactionary; it saw the problem clearly and was not inactive. It therefore designed a new religion and put it into execution. This was the religion of Serapis. It was a beautifully designed universal religion. It also had the perfect means of dissemination through the second city of the Empire, Alexandria. Alexandria was perhaps the first seaport of the Empire. Egypt was the breadbasket of the Empire shipping wheat to every city. All ships came to Alexandria so that the crews could be proselytized there and carry the seeds of the Serapian religion to every port in the Empire. Those boys in Memphis were not sitting on their hands. The religion was doing very well. So well, that it terrified the Jews who determined to scuttle it. The Jews comprised nearly half of Alexandria’s two million people while they were not averse to the judicious use of violence: tearing down altars, burning churches, good old fashioned terrorism, slander, the works. The universal church was one thing, the other was capturing the avatar of the Age of Pisces. The avatar’a period of rule is, of course, limited to the sun passing through a sign to twenty-one hundred and some odd years. After that period he is off to far tartary, the other side of the Zodiac, a forgotten entity. Thus the time of Zeus was nearing its end. The transitions were quite stormy in human terms and this one, the period of the Jewish-Roman wars would be as bloody as they come. It appears that the Greek candidate for avatar of Pisces was Dionysus, who, if you can think this way was recognizably being groomed to replace Zeus, while the Egyptian candidate was their vegetation god, Osiris. The priesthoods were busy at work backing their candidate. Now, the birth story of Jesus is pure astronomical myth. It never happened. Nothing close to it ever happened, There are at least three different visions of Jesus, he of the mythical birth, the historical or quasi-historical Jesus and the consensual Jesus the Christ, that is Jesus-Dionysus-Osiris. The whole process took hundreds of years to work through. Let us examine the preposterous birth story. The story is all magical, that is impossible. There is no possible way for the divine baby to have been found and recognized. According to the myth three kings of the orient, that is the East, one of which was Persia, other two unknowns got wind that the avatar of Pisces was to be born in Samaria, if they had ever heard of the place and knew where to find it. Their significance was that their countries Arien avatars were doing obeisance to the Jewish and/or Greco-Egyptian avatar. Thus the known world would be in united under one avatar who was Jewish, or, at least, Samaritan. The Jews would have and did usurp the role away from the Mesopotamians, thus avenging their expulsion over Aries. Pisces belonged to them and, yea, verily, it came to pass. The charade of the manger in the barn may mean that the three mighty kings were compelled to come to ‘little’ Israel bearing extremely valuable gifts thus humbling themselves. Nobody can actually follow a star- being led by it. So the symbolism there is that they were following the star or stars of Pisces announcing the New Age. Rather odd that such an astonishing event passed with so little notice isn’t it? Rather than gathering their new found riches together, hiring a few asses to bear them along with the new mother and babe and returning home the new parents slipped away unnoticed where they resumed their old life in apparent poverty. Odd, but no more so than Mary’s strange pregnancy. Supposedly the spirit of God entered Mary’s ear, left or right isn’t known, and impregnated with the spirit of God. It follows then that Jesus himself was a god as he would have to have been if he was avatar of Pisces. THE HISTORICAL JESUS. The later Roman Empire was god obsessed. Through the deification of the Roman Emperors who first were deified after death, then living gods on earth and finally through the Christian any human being was promised eternal life in heaven, that is godhood. The success of the Christian movement more than anything else was based on the promise of everlasting life. The great masses were persuaded to forego happiness on earth by the hope of going to heaven In a world of gods, the notion of monotheism is one of the great jokes in history. While the Jews claim to have invented monotheism they have never practiced it. I’m sure the heavenly hosts, many people just like you and me are having a good laugh at our expense. So innumerable gods existed and just like any other community there must have been a king or president thus there was great competition amongst the peoples for the honor of providing the most high god. None of the existing gods could hope to attain that distinction. The Jewish conception of the invisible god, ostensibly resembling no particular people was best fitted for the role and would succeed in the Christian dispensation but only be forfeiting his Jewishness. Catholic means universal. A universal god could not favor any one people, and especially not the Jews. The Jews then disqualified themselves from universal leadership. They were already abhorred even as Pisces dawned. The priesthoods were laboring away to come up with a universally successful god. The priests of Memphis, Egyptians knew religion, came up with an excellent conception in the Serapian religion and they had the perfect distribution point for sending out disciples. Unless I’m mistaken the established seminaries in Alexandria meant to train missionaries. It is impossible that the priests didn’t recognize what the Jews had done in establishing religious colonies through out the Roman Empire. Thus the plan was laid out for them. However one thing in which they erred was to create a magical idol to represent Serapis. The Jews were nearly half the population of Alexandria which had to have been the center of the religion. When it comes to being tricksters the Jews are second to none so that they easily penetrated and exposed the fraud of Serapis. Before they did cadres of missionaries had been dispersed throughout the Empire including Israel to which a lad named Jesus was sent. I think it highly probable that Jesus was not Jewish but a gentile Serapian missionary. As part of his education he was sent to various places to be indoctrinated. The middle east was a hive of religious speculation from which the national Jewish religion was excluded because of their intense exclusiveness. It is perfectly obvious that the man called Jesus had been initiated into the Greek cult of Eleusis to which everyone in the Empire aspired. Eternal life was one of the promises of Eleusis. Thus in the Last Supper Jesus gave away the secret of Eleusis. For the rest Jesus’ magic was so much blather. Nobody multiplies loaves and fishes or turns water into wine. His wisdom was organized in Memphis and all the Serapion missionaries would have been repeating the same stuff. You may ask how I know this. Psychology. The human mind is limited and always works in the same way. What is had to be done. Nothing is spontaneous. Look at the way our minds are being manipulated today. Same thing but with better electronic devices. A universal god was required. The Jewish national god could not be universal. ‘For God so loved the Jews that he made them His own special people to whom all honors were due. Jesus is said to have said: ‘For God so loved the world that he favored no single people. That negated Judaism. Jesus was therefore a revolutionary. Besides the Jews would have known that the formula came straight out of Alexandria and was part of the Serapion religion. Give the ancients some credit; there were as many spies then as there are today. Read the ancient texts with open eyes; it’s all right there plain for open eyes to see. So Jesus was a spy in Jewish eyes, got caught and paid the price. That would have been the end of it except for Paul. The Deification of Jesus: Jesus Becomes The Christ and Turns Into A God The past, history, turns people into stick people, ossifies them, as the personalities are stripped from the living. It Is therefore important to restore them to a living milieu. The fact is that there was who ever that saw Jesus of Nazareth. There are no eye witnesses reporting. Here is Jesus then claiming to b a supreme magician who can multiply loaves and fishes, walk on water and turn water to wine. It never happened, ever, by anyone. Israel and Egypt were filled with magicians. The priestly colleges studied to come up with magical tricks to fool the rubes. In Egypt where they had apparently discovered the laws of magnetism the Serapion temple had an iron idol that was suspended in mid-air through magnetism. Apparent real magic displaying the power of the god. It was a fraud. The Egyptian priests knew it. Jewish priests knew it even if they hadn’t discovered the how. The great nineteenth century French magician Robert Houdin, as fraudulent as magicians come, knew of electricity, He contrived a trick in which an iron was placed on an iron board, the board activated by an electric switch. He called from the audience for the strongest man to come forward to attempt to lift the magnetized iron on the board, then Houdin hit the switch magnetizing the iron to the board, the strong man huffed and puffed but couldn’t lift the iron. He was dismissed and Houdin called a little girl forward, flipped the electricity off and lo and behold the little girl lifted the iron up. Great trick but it was a fraud. No one in the audience knew anything of either electricity or magnetism. If Jesus actually claimed to have performed his feats the Jewish magicians saw through the tricks as tricks. Simon Magus was so impressed that he offered to buy the secrets of the tricks from Jesus. It wasn’t probity that prevented Jesus from taking Simon Magus up, it was that he didn’t have anything to sell. The elders then were watching this guy, Jesus, with suspicious eyes. And then Jesus committed the ultimate revolutionary act. This must have sealed his fate. On the porch of the Temple the usurers set up their tables and conducted their business on the high holy days. Now, consider this: the usurers were making a lot of money in priestly territory. That means that the priesthood was getting their cut. It follows from human nature, no documentation is needed. So Jesus walks up and overturns the usurers tables scattering money every which way, declaring the practice is an abomination. That is a revolutionary act disturbing the equilibrium of the State. Is it any wonder that he was arrested and had to be condemned to death? It was done. The Roman governors were merely tools in the hands of the Jewish judges who condemned Him. The rumblings of the Jewish revolt against Rome were already under way when Jesus was executed, if that part of the story is true. The Jews were already refusing to pay their Roman taxes. Now, put this into context. The Jews were double taxed; first by themselves throughout all their colonies in the way of tithes, next by the Romans. A steady annual flow of gold from all over the Empire flowed into Jerusalem every year. The Jews had no government to support so that the gold was accumulating at a great clip while gold was being drained from the Empire. Thus we have a tactic of asymmetrical warfare. Had the Jews been a little more patient they might have been able to win the war. At any rate the war broke out in 66 and by 70 the Jews were crushed. Meanwhile a cult had grown up around Jesus, a purely Jewish cult. It can’t be emphasized too heavily that the Jesus cult began as an entirely Jewish affair. Initially Paul was talking to exclusively Jewish colonies in the various cities of the Empire. The appeal to non-Jews was only achieved by jettisoning Jewish customs that had no appeal to non-Jews. Even then the Minian religion, a it was called then grew slowly. The early Roman Catholic church must have been mainly for Jews who organized it. Many of the early popes must have been Jewish When Constantine made Christianity the official sole State religion that must have opened the Church to majority non-Jews. That development took hundreds of years. Jesus only became the Christ after the issue of the avatar of the Piscean Age was settled. Greek and Egyptian claims had to be accommodated so that the avatar combined the nominally Jewish Jesus, the Greek Dionysus and the Egyptian Osiris. The three were combined into the Greek term The Christ. Thus he became a sort of non-Jewish Jesus of Nazareth and a universal Jesus the Christ. Now, as part of the deal, I’m elaborating the psychologist, C.G. Jung here, Jesus was the dominant avatar for only the first half of Pisces. The second half was consigned to the female avatar that was a combination of the Egyptian Isis and the putative mother of Jesus, Mary, wife of Joseph. As events turned out Isis/Mary only served for Southern Europe. She was repugnant to Norther Europe that preferred the divine huntress, Artemis of the Greeks passing under her Roman name of Diana. Unless I’m mistaken the Diana cult continues until today although it is time for the Aquarius avatars to take over. That will happen unless the Jews capture the Astronomical Religion and succeed in discarding it in favor of their vision of the eternal god Saturn. I have heard some squeakings in that direction and from an unlikely quarter. The ancient priesthoods may be gone but their role undoubtedly has been passed on to another college that is still functioning.
