JESUS AND JAMES AT THE CROSS

If we follow JESUS’ thinking, after JAMES told his mother that he was not ‘up to it’ and JESUS decides to become the left PILLAR of the ESSENE COMMUNITY ‘CHURCH’ allowing the world to see that JAMES THE JUST was the right PILLAR, a church they both belonged to, he actually sacrificed himself, as it was clear to him, that there was no getting away from the ROMANS –

So, what was JESUS thinking, his thoughts were that if the ROMANS are going to go after the removal of the BEARER of the MESSAGES FROM GOD, he should ‘fool’ them, whilst sacrificing himself, and he called on his brother JAMES, to carry the ‘torch’ of the LAW OF GOD forward as delivered by MOSES.

But things are never as we wish it to be, but first we need to get back to what happened after the crucifixion,

When JESUS dies on the cross, he was viewed as a PASCHAL LAMB as indicated by 1 Peter 1:19 and next we see a speech by JAMES –

Found in a document of records of the surviving JERUSALEM JEWS of the proceedings from the time of the crucifixion to the fall of JERUSALEM in 70 CE / AD.

“RABBI TSEDEQ (as he was known) it simply means ‘TEACHER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,’ he came and stood on the steps of the portico of the Temple mount and said “Hear me out, O brothers of ours, House of Israel! Lo, it says, When a corpse is found, and your elders and judges go forth and measure. Now as it is to us – whither and whence shall we
measure? To the Sanctuary? Or to the Courtyard?” All the people groaned and wept after what he said“

Here we have 56 vitally important words spoken by JAMES, the brother of JESUS, within minutes of JESUS being lifted down from the cross. They ought to be in the BIBLE, but they are not . . . All the events of the day, tells us that JESUS had almost achieved his goal of being both PILLARS himself when he decided to sacrifice himself – his brother ‘the Teacher of Righteousness’ was obviously deeply upset by this loss, and he addresses the QUMRAN COMMUNITY present with passion and with anger –

NOTE:
I found this to share with you

“This Old Testament claiming innocence of a murder was clearly in the mind of the synoptic gospel writers, such as MATTHEW, when he puts words in the mouth of PONTIUS PILATUS in Chapter 27:24-25

‘When Pilatus saw that he could prevail nothing, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this person: see you to it. Then answered all the people and said, His blood be on us, and on our children’”

If we compare the DEUTERONOMY Passage with that of MATTHEW, the parallel is obvious:

“our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it – I am innocent of the blood of this just person, see you to it.”

This PONTIUS PILATE or PILATUS, intrigues me, so we start our journey into his life by looking at his wife, CLAUDIA PROCLA, born in GALILEE around 6 CE/AD, but died in ROME. . . so we wonder!! Her mother was not a good person, but she had the attention of TIBERIUS, and he sends the mother into exile for whatever reason and adopts the little girl. TIBERIUS, goes further and secures her future by legitimizing her political connections whilst he raises her in ROME. Years later he arranges her marriage to PONTIUS PILATE a ROMAN MILITARY MAN of good standing, bolstering his political position, when TIBERIUS appoints him to work under SEJANUS.

A strange find about LUCIUS AELIUS SEJANUS, born in the year 20 BCE and died in 31 CE/AD and so did all three his children, one as young as eleven – the year JESUS was crucified, SEJANUS, was a ROMAN SOLDIER and friend of TIBERIUS.

Anyway, back to PONTIUS PILATE, he gets appointed as ADMINISTRATOR, and gets to hold the office as GOVERNOR of JUDEA, the years the ROMANS, decided to ‘abolish’ the RELIGION of JERUSALEM.

Back to present day on our DATELINE, TIBERIUS allows his stepdaughter to travel with her husband to the land of her birth, a mistake, but could it have been GOD at work to correct the evil, which HE knew, HE could not protect JESUS from, as to what was about to unfold? She becomes aware of the plotting and planning of the ROMAN EMPIRE, and the fact that her husband was chosen to be the ‘hangman’ and between the love for her husband and the love she has for her birth country, she begs him not to go through with ‘removal’ of OUR JESUS – he chooses the side of his EMPEROR.

She is present at the crucifixion, as reported, and it is believed that at the resurrection, she converts to JUDAISM, and becomes the scribe of the notes left for JAMES and other to know the stories leading up to the CRUCIFIXION and all else they needed to know. Here I need to ask, is her behaviour a lesson of training for us to understand the principles of GOD’S correcting and teachings of RIGHTEOUSNESS?

Back on our journey, as to what happened between JESUS and JAMES at the CRUCIFIXION.

In the DEUTERONOMY verse of The OLD TESTAMENT’S claim of innocence relies on a person not having done or seen a murder, here we have PILATUS saying that he is not guilty of doing the deed and it is the JEWS who ‘saw’ it.

Whomever first wrote this version of events was certainly aware of JAMES’s words after the crucifixion and built on his reference and accusation of partial guilt to the assembled crowd.

JAMES could not have known how those Gentiles would soon twist his words to lay a charge of ‘theocide,’ meaning, the systematic eradication of a religion, on the whole JEWISH NATION for all time, ignoring the deeds of the ROMANS.

The claim that the assembled crowd damned themselves with the words “His blood be on us, and on our children” is a wicked lie, responsible for two thousand years of anti-Semitism.

The omission of JAMES’ words from the NEW TESTAMENT was a deliberate downgrading of JAMES’ Premier position viz-a-viz JESUS – ‘they’ did not want us to SEE that the CHURCH JESUS died for had continued with JAMES . . . when they found the continuance of the CHURCH around 69 CE / AD, when they killed him, they had to do whatever it took to further destroy what we HAD TO KNOW, to the extent of destroying JERUSALEM completely.

This research for me was about the ‘missing’ teachings of what GOD wanted us to KNOW – NOW WE KNOW that they, the ROMANS, did everything possible for us not to KNOW!!

JESUS, knew he could not carry out his plan against a mightier enemy – BUT he made sure that the TEACHINGS live on, and he prepared the ‘scene’ for JAMES to carry the TEACHINGS forward. . .

What we see is that JESUS, was not the person we read about in the many BIBLES written about him, they failed to tell us about the person who JESUS was, he was immensely powerful and uniquely impressive, why he got the attention of so many. All of us by now understand that his ministry was just that one year, prior to the CRUCIFIXION. However, his life’s research, and prayers and talking to GOD, and his stay at the QUMRAN CAVES studying those ‘precious scrolls,’ including his time spent with his ‘TEACHER / PRIEST, during his young adult years at the TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM. All made him who he was, a wise man, who followed his GOD GIVEN convictions, but the effect of the brutal horrible killing of JOHN THE BAPTIST, which resulted in everything political and religious exploding around them, hurt JESUS deeply.

Those goings on, pushed me forward to try and find more of what was happening in that year prior to his death, and we find the many ‘fights’ and turmoil which extended from the streets to between JESUS and JAMES, and as JAMES was the leader of the QUMRAN COMMUNITY, so did the turmoil extend between JESUS and that community. This makes us see why he could not get their vote at the time he needed them, at the end. All this was based on his plans to protect what we were to KNOW, they found all of JESUS’ plans far too radical, even his parents for that matter could not accept him sacrificing himself, and so MARY and JOSEPH had no choice but to back JAMES, in the hope that he will change his mind at the eleventh hour, but he was convicted to save what GOD wanted him to protect, for us to KNOW.

When JOHN THE BAPTIST, JESUS’ priest dies, JESUS became more radical in the eyes of his family and the QUMRAN COMMUNITY. It is at this juncture in time that JESUS, gives up his position and accepts the position as kingly MESSIAH of the JEWS, a ploy to fool the ROMANS, simply saying at this point in time he throws himself under the ‘bus’ and JESUS SAVES the QUMRAN’s PRECIOUS SCROLLS as instructed by MOSES, by allowing JAMES to be the KEEPER of the then  QUMRAN CHURCH and the SCROLLS., that was the year 37 CE/AD.

A quick look at the DISCIPLES of JESUS, they knew that he did not expect to survive the confrontations of the ROMANS, reading the GOSPEL OF THOMAS, a GOSPEL removed by EMPEROR OF ROME, CONSTANTINE, from all BIBLES to be printed, during and after his reign, between 280 – 337 CE / AD.

“The disciples said to JESUS, “We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our Leader, and JESUS said to them “wherever you are, you are to go to JAMES THE RIGHTEOUS, for whose sake the HEAVEN and EARTH came into being”

And with that said, we see that the brothers had become brothers in love again.

Back to our JAMES and his protection, and we see that it did not last long as JAMES THE JUST was killed in 69 CE / AD by those very ROMANS, and they promptly destroyed the caves of QUMRAN along with the CHURCH of JERUSALEM. . . . they did not entirely win the ‘killing of a religion’ as JAMES left us the DEAD SEA SCROLLS to find 1 880 years after his murder. . . . and it is believed that not every Jew was killed in the 70 CE / AD war. A sect called the EBIONIM, a direct descendent of JAMES’ CHURCH. They were the ‘poor people’, and they held the teaching of JAMES in high regard and had the same regards for JESUS and believed that he was the true MESSIAH after his BAPTISM by JOHN the Baptist.
