330 BCE, ALEXANDER THE GREAT takes ALEXANDRIA and establishes the HELLENISM (GREEK CULTURE) in EGYPT. 250 BCE. Work started on the translation and the creation of the OLD TESTAMENT (from documents what they could find). This process was also the creation of the DEUTEROCANONICAL BOOKS, which were accepted into the HEBREW BIBLE as religious text, as GOD INSPIRED and was translated from HEBREW TO GREEK. This ‘translation’ became known as the SEPTUAGINT.

This was just a translation BOOK from HEBREW to GREEK. It was also referred to as LXX (Meaning 70). The instruction of TRANSLATION was specific for the ‘JEWISH’ Community of EGYPT, when GREEK was the common language within the region.

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE YEARS LEADING UP TO JESUS’ BIRTH AND YOUNG ADULT LIFE.

37 BCE

HEROD, is born.

4 BCE

HEROD, dies

4 BCE

JESUS, is born in BETHLEHEM, meaning “House of Bread.”

4 BCE

JESUS, is taken to JERUSALEM, for presentation at the TEMPLE.

4 BCE

JESUS, is taken to EGYPT to escape a massacre by HEROD THE GREAT.

3 CE/AD

JOSEPH, JESUS’ father returns to PALESTINE from EGYPT. He discovers that ARCHELAUS, a brutal man, was made RULER of SAMARIA and JUDEA – He was later deposed. But instead of taking his family to JERUSALEM, he fetches them and they settle in NAZARETH in GALILEE.

3 CE/AD

Mary takes her son to the TEMPLE to study under the HIGH PRIEST GAMALIEL I, a PHARISEE, the religion of his MOTHER MARY.

RABBAN GAMALIEL I, received the little JESUS, the child GAMALIEL, was the son of SIMEON BEN HILLEL. HILLEL was the son of HILLEL THE ELDER, a JEWISH RELIGIOUS LEADER, Sage, and Scholar, associated with the Development of the MISHNAH. The Mishnah, is the first major written collection of the Jewish oral traditions which is known as the ORAL TORAH. It is also the first major work of rabbinic literature. It is also referred to as the TALMUD (TORAH). He was the founder of the HOUSE OF HILLEL SCHOOL of TANNAIM. TANNIUM, any of several hundred Jewish scholars who, over a period of some 200 years, compiled oral traditions related to religious law. Most TANNAIM lived and worked in PALESTINE.

HILLEL joined his father SIMEON ben GAMALIEL. SIMON BEN NATHANAEL, and BEIT SHAMMAI, together they formed and founded the HOUSE OF HILLEL AND SHAMMAI, for the sole purpose of teaching ORAL LAW.

All of them practised the ‘religion’ of the PHARISEES, and so did JESUS and his mother MARY.

The reason for this school was to collectively get to debate on matters of ritual practices, Ethics and Theology which were critical for the shaping of ORAL LAW and JUDAISM as it is today.

That was the landscape of the schooling of JESUS, over a possible 15-year period. It is said that HILLEL, often won the debate, which was accepted as normative by HALACHA or HALAKHA. This is the collective body of JEWISH RELIGIOUS LAW, a teaching method JESUS, studied.

HALAKHA, is based on biblical commandments (MITZOT), meaning the COMMANDMENT of GOD to be performed as a RELIGIOUS DUTY. The resulting debates lead to the creation of the TALMUDIC and RABBINIC LAWS, and customs and traditions which were compiled in many Books.

The MISHNAH mentions GAMALIEL I, as author of the LAWS about COMMUNITY WELFARE and CONJUGAL RIGHTS. He argued that the LAW should protect women during divorce, and that, for the purpose of remarriage, that a single witness was sufficient evidence on the death of a husband.

It was apparent that JESUS was of NOBLE BIRTH, hence the level of education which was his privilege to receive, to study under the highly respected RABBI GAMALIEL, at the JERUSALEM TEMPLE.

Every teacher and preacher at the TEMPLE understood who JESUS was. It is for this my research revealed the high impact studies he had to endure. However, he enjoyed the subject of PHILOSOPHY, POLITICS, STRATEGY, and the impact of RHETORIC.

15 CE/AD

JESUS, meets JOHN THE BAPTIST, for the first time.

27 CE/AD

JESUS, travels from JERUSALEM to the RIVER JORDAN and meets JOHN THE BAPTIST again. He is BAPTISED into the ESSENE ‘CHURCH.’

JESUS, being baptised by JOHN THE BAPTIST as an ESSENE is evidence that he changed his thoughts after many months of being a student under the PHARISEE Religion.

JESUS, also gets to spend about three years at QUMRAN, which was known to lean towards the teachings of the PHARISEE Religion, but leaves the Camp, and spends 40 days in the WILDERNESS. A Wilderness, which was the selfsustaining ‘camp’ of the ESSENE Religion.

JESUS’ RABBI

ELDER GAMALIEL a PHARISEE and celebrated Doctor of MOSAIC LAW (Jewish Law or the LAW OF MOSES). He was a leading author of the SANHEDRIN, an assembly of either Twenty-Three or Seventy-One Elders, who were appointed to sit as a Tribunal in every city in and around the ANCIENT LAND of ISRAEL.

He taught students a lot of what he knew and how he lived his life – These TEACHINGS our JESUS received over a long period of no less than Fifteen Years.

Now we have a bigger and better insight as to the richness of Character our JESUS had and that he was never a street walking simpleton walking around in dirty drab clothes preaching – JESUS was a man of knowledge and with knowledge comes wealth and prestige, but about that later. What I like about the ELDER GAMALIEL is that he taught his student this statement, comparing them to fish.

  • A ritually impure fish: one who has memorised everything by study, but has no understanding and is the son of poor parents
  • A ritually pure fish: one who has learned and understood everything, and is the son of a rich parent
  • A fish from the Jordan River: one who has learnt everything, but does not know how to respond
  • A fish from the Mediterranean Sea: one who has learnt everything and knows how to respond

Along our journey, we got to understand that the ELDER GAMALIEL was a Christian by heart, not the version we mean today. Christianity of those years, were the teachings of GOD’S INSTRUCTIONS, which was practiced during JESUS’ time on EARTH. What we understood was that he had converted, and that his conversion was not made public, but what we need to know is that he taught our JESUS well, now we know why JESUS could tell the JEWS that they understood GOD’S INSTRUCTION wrong and that the TULMUD had to be corrected.

We also know that JESUS was out to get the JEWISH AUTHORITY to give the land back to the people, from whom they took it, as it was given to them by GOD, who was the First and only owner of the LAND. Then the JEWISH AUTHORITY together with the ROMAN EMPIRE AUTHORITY took more land from the people. JESUS was preparing to ‘fight’ them to hand the land back to the people, when he was killed.

They could not allow any of this and he had to be killed – my worry is, why did the ELDER GAMALIEL not warn him in time as he was a member of the SANHEDRIN, were decisions were being discussed and concluded on. But I am made aware that from the day JESUS was put into the hands of RABBI ELDER GAMALIEL, JESUS was in the hands of GOD and his path from then onward was pre-ordained, and that it was so ordained that those decisions were made when the RABBI GAMALIEL was not present.

Why I say this is that somewhere I read that JESUS was convicted, that he had to go North to read further information he was to know, a conviction clearly placed in his heart by GOD. It appears that the same conviction was placed in the hearts of the monks of Qumran, as they were repairing ‘somebody’ to arrive from the South to be shown these secret records, they were convicted to ‘hide’ from the ROMAN AUTHORITIES, over many years prior.

What is amazing to me is that the settlement of QUMRAN was a ROMAN created stronghold to collect the Manuscripts of the churches, apostles and disciples and Rabbis around ISRAEL, an idea left for them by ALEXANDRA the GREAT back in 332 BCE when he was collecting books on his travels to fill the Library he planned for Alexandria.

But GOD intervene and allowed the Monks to ‘hide’ the relevant scrolls for JESUS to study these Manuscripts at QUMRAN, which he did for a three year period. After his lengthy study he went and visited the town of CAPERNAUM and there he met up with all the Disciples which he then recruited, and converted to assist him to spread the newly found TEACHINGS of GOD’S LAW and GOD’S INSTRUCTION, he had learned over those three years. Information left for him by GOD on earth. A struggle I battled with for a couple of year is, if GOD sent JESUS to let us know, why did he not intervene for us to truly learn from JESUS, until I started on this journey of KNOWING and I think I found a lot and now I am sharing it with you, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO WANTS TO KNOW.

Now, let us take a look at JESUS’ brother JAMES –

Before we leave the topic of JESUS, I think I should introduce you to the FAMILY of our JESUS and I am sure you might be a bit surprised, or you might have known for a long time, but allow me to show you how the puzzle pieces fall together for our JESUS, and you will most certainly get to know HIM a bit more than ever taught to us – 

PAUL AND JESUS AND TEACHER GAMALIEL I

PAUL, was also born in the year 4 BCE, in the same year as JESUS. He was born in the City of TARSUS a vassal state of ROME, in TURKEY. He died in ROME in 62 CE/AD. His birth name was SAUL. PAUL’S parents converted and became Diaspora Jews. He was raised as a Jew, but without the culture of such pure followers of GOD as the QUMRAN COMMUNITY.

Teacher, Preacher, GAMALIEL speaks highly of him as a student at the JERUSALEM TEMPLE. He would have been taught the same subjects as JESUS and enjoyed the same debates about the ORAL LAW. Once his studies were complete, we see that SAUL becomes ST. PAUL at the time JESUS was gathering his disciples.

28 – 30 CE/AD

JESUS travels to QUMRAN and studies and preaches there.

31 CE/AD

JESUS, spends 40 days in the WILDERNESS, a WILDERNESS where the ESSENES had established their very own self-sustaining COMMUNITY.

32 – 33 CE/AD

JESUS, spends his time PREACHING and TEACHING. I am a little puzzled as JESUS had to have taken the best of the teachings of RABBI GAMALIEL and transposed it to created clarity of thought to then follow the ESSENE FAITH. He continued in his teachings.

33 CE/AD

JESUS, is crucified.

THE DEATH OF JESUS

SIMON PETER issued a warning against any other Authority but the NAZOREAN LEADERSHIP.

“Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he brings from Jerusalem the testimonial of JAMES, the LORD’S BROTHER”

As SAUL, came to be known as an individual who ‘pours’ out on ISRAEL the waters of ‘LYING’ and ‘leads them astray in a wasteland with a ‘WAY.’ These words play on ‘WAY’ relates to ‘removing the boundary markers of the ‘LAW,’ which he spent years learning at the JERUSALEM TEMPLE. Further, SAUL, acknowledges that there were two opposed versions of the life and mission of CHRIST. The ‘false’ teachings of JAMES, the brother of CHRIST, and his own HELLENISTIC mystery romance that disregarded the very core belief of JUDAISM as it was then known during the time of the EARLY CHURCH. 1 Corinthians 9:20 – 25, he is not shy to admit the disregard for the JERUSALEM CHURCH of JESUS and JAMES. He openly states that he is an unscrupulous liar.

“I made myself a Jew to the Jews to win the Jews . . . to those who have no LAW, I was free of the LAW myself. . . I make myself all things to all men …. That is how I run intent on winning, that is how I fight not beating the air”

It is reported that SAUL was given seventeen years to hunt down potentially rebellious Jews. He was never converted to the cause of JOHN THE BAPTIST, JESUS, and JAMES. Instead, he invented, as it is said, a ‘new cult’ to which he gave the GREEK name ‘Christians,’ a translation of the HEBREW word ‘messiah.’ Very smart . . . A question, in my heart. “Could SAUL, have known about the pending murder/ removal of JESUS?” having been given seventeen years to carry out his ‘orders’ to kill Jews.?

52 CE/AD

RABBI GAMALIEL I, dies a very old man, having witnessed the error of judgement whilst teaching a ‘proposed’ future PREACHER and or TEACHER of the LAW.

63 - 70 CE/AD

The ROMAN RULE begins in ISRAEL after 690 Years since their formation in 752 BCE. What could they been after, I doubt it was about religion. So, we investigated the MINING INDUSTRY of the entire region of MENA (Middle Eastern Northern Africa) which included JERUSALEM and EGYPT, also MESOPOTAMIA and TURKEY. They just had to have those mines. THE END AS WE THOUGHT WE GOT TO KNOW ABOUT JERUSALEM, THE JEWS, AND THE RELIGION OF THE DAY, was and is most certainly not what we where lead to believe, but now WE KNOW.

DENISE

This was a painful BLOG to edit after I researched it and wrote it. Why JESUS had to die, still brings tears to my eyes and heart. I know we cannot be in two places at once, but we need to take care of what and who we allow into our lives and hearts on EARTH. This research, left me dumb-struck and not sure how or what I will become once I allow what I have learned whilst doing the research and then writing the BLOGS, which was followed by edit corrections. I ask that you take care as to what you ‘think’ GOD wants you to KNOW
