Chapter 5-The revelation and the vacuum  
     
1.
After the crucifixion and the “miraculous” resurrection of Jesus the Nazarene, the word of this event traveled rapidly across the Hellenic world.  
2.
However, rather than immediately embarking on a process of evangelizing the message to Jews across Judea and elsewhere, the Disciples remained faithful to their promise to Jesus to spend at least twelve years perfecting and detailing the Gnostic scriptures.  
3.
While all the disciples were by definition educated (otherwise they would not have been one of the twelve of an Essene sect), few would have had the patience, nor experience of painstakingly manually writing manuscripts.
 
4.
If you want to prove this to yourself, then take any standard Bible and see how long it takes you to handwrite a single page.
 
5.
Given time lost for discussion and debate, the task of the disciples writing the Gnostic scriptures would have been terribly slow. At most a very small number of copies of key texts would have been made- three at most, probably just two.
 
6.
In contrast, the Sadducee ruling Priests, the House of Annas/Boethus controlled one of the largest Scriptoriums of the ancient world, employing well over a hundred scribes in order to manage their contracts for trade and publish Jewish texts in ancient Greek for Jewish communities across the world. Even then, very few people could read, let alone write in Hebrew. The international language of the Eastern empire was Greek.
 
7.
The result of this situation from the perspective of Jesus and the apostles is that hundreds of thousands of people had heard about the Messiah and his defeat of death, but without seeing any disciple of person of authority, nor any official texts. It is no wonder that many false prophets and opportunists stepped into this position.
 
8.
The House of Annas and in particular High Priest Ananias and his young nephew Joesphus, son of Priest Matthias saw this as a tremendous opportunity. Josephus, later known as Flavius Josephus during his time in Rome was regarded in his day as one of the finest minds of the century. Fluent in at least three languages, Josephus saw this vacuum as an opportunity.
 
9.
If the first people to appear amongst the hundreds of large Jewish communities around the world, calling out for more information happened to be agents of the Sadducee High Priests, then they could successfully re-orientate the Gnostic message back to a more “traditional” form. The challenge was to find a “front man” credible enough and suitable enough for this new counterfeit religion.
 
10.
As much as the Sadducee High Priests would have hated Nathanel (Doethius/Barabbas), he was the perfect candidate. He had already proven his ability as a charismatic leader and his epilepsy had convinced many he was “possessed by the holy spirit” of God, speaking in tongues, when in fact he was having a seizure. Today, many Christians emulate this terrible illness during evangelical meetings by imitating epileptics in honor of St. Paul the Messiah.
 
11.
But before Nathanel (Doethius/Barabbas) could get his mission underway, a major event swept the whole region- the Great famine.  
12.
In the past when disaster struck, people largely had to fend for themselves. Only the Romans and Greeks had any notion of civic emergency action and even then it was for their main cities, not provinces. When famine struck the whole of Palestine, including parts of Egypt right up through Syria and Turkey, the wealthy and those in power, probably shut themselves away fully expecting hundreds of thousands to die.  
13.
Then, in one of the most historic and enlightened acts to have ever been seen in human history, Joseph Ha-Rama-Theo, High King of Ireland and the Celts, the man that founded Nazara and the father of Jesus ordered his vast estates to be liquidated in order to help feed the hungry.  
14.
Nothing like this had ever been seen in the ancient world. The effect of this new concept- the concept of charity rippled through the Empire like a bombshell. Now the whole ancient world was speaking of these mysterious people who followed Jesus and were prepared to help perfect strangers. Today, this whole episode- one of the most important of ancient history is denigrated to a mere footnote that St. Stephen was put in charge of helping a few poor widows and cripples.  
15.
The fact that the Christian church prefers to not even acknowledge this whole episode, let alone that it was coordinated by the apostles speaks volumes.  
16.
What Stephen really was given along with the rest of the Apostles was a global relief organization responsible for saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.  
17.
At first, the Sadducee High Priests reacted to this new surge in influence and credibility of the Nazarenes and apostles by ordering Nathanel (Dositheus) to kill Stephen which he did. Instead of stopping the effort, this had the effect of increasing the peoples loyalty to the Nazarenes with the Apostles even more dedicated to their cause.  
18.
The Sadducees were probably under siege at this point and were forced to send their old patriarch Annas to meet with James, presumably with some offering in payment for the murder of Stephen and to contribute to the relief effort. James the blood brother of Jesus refused and this episode is famously glossed over in the work of his grandson Josephus under the pseudonym of St. Luke in Acts of the Apostles.
 
19.
With the death of their patriarch around 44/45 CE, the House of Annas/Boethus had to come up with a completely different strategy.
 
20.
Nathanel (Dositheus) was then ordered to meet with the Apostles and see if he could join their efforts, and help. Again, this whole episode is represented in the Christian New Testament, with the apostles clearly fearful of him and his agenda.
 
21.
Given that Nathanel had been imprisoned, was a Samaritan and probably appeared genuine, it would have been very hard to consider him to be an agent working now for the sworn ancient enemies of his forefathers. What we do know with certainty is that James the Just did give permission for Nathanel to go to other Jewish communities in the region and collect the donations that people wished to give to the relief effort.
 
22.
Most importantly, and fatally – James the Just gave Nathanel some of the Gnostic scriptures. This then gave the House of Annas/Boethus the blueprint and the means by which to publish the first complete “Christian” Bibles.
 
23.
Meanwhile, Nathanel/Saul was back in the Messiah business, travelling to Jewish populations and being showered with large amounts of wealth. Thus the concept of false charity- the promising of helping others, while keeping most of the money for yourself was created as the first enterprise of the forerunner to Christianity.
 
24.
With money and prestige, it is around this time that he probably changed his name to Saul- a highly provocative name, that would have certainly given the Sadducee High Priests heartburn.
 
25.
Another dramatic change also occurred during this period- Saul (St. Paul) now started to re-assert his anti Sadducee establishment message- a message deep in his DNA as a Samaritan of the exiled High Priest line. Saul no longer preached and converted Jews to his new counterfeit religion – actively recruited many of the clergy of the pagan Temples such as Cybele.
 
26.
The region around Cilicia is of partcular importance given it is the historic and original geographic region to the worship of Cybele, the "Queen of Heaven". the Mother Goddess is also variously described as (but not limited to) Cybele, Inanna, Venus, Isis, Ishtar, Astarte, Aphrodite and Ashtoreth.
 
27.
While the centre of worship for Cybele in the ancient world had since become Mons Vatis Canus (Hill of the white haired soothsayer) or Vatican Hill in Rome, at the very least, Paul would have been familiar with the Goddess and with the various satanic practices associated with worship.
 
28.
In the letters of St. Paul, one of the most prominent are the Galatians, a region of Celts in Turkey. What is more probable is that any original correspondence was not with Turkish Celts, but with the Gallae- the male priestesses, men who had severed their genitals in order to be permanently celibate as attendants to the major temples around the ancient world.
 
29.
The obsession with celibacy in much of the writing of St. Paul (Saul) indicates that his new religion as a new messiah found a most fertile message with these people as opposed to traditional Jewish communities.
 
30.
By 50 CE with the famine over, the Apostles as well as the Sadducee High Priests had well and truly had enough of the maverick messiah Paul and summonsed him back to Jerusalem. There, at the first ecumenical council of “Christianity” Paul was excommunicated as the first heretic in Christian history.
 
31.
Given Paul also set himself up as a new messiah, he should also properly be regarded as the first “antichrist” in history as well.
 
32.
Paul (Saul) rejected the edicts of James and set about accelerating the development of his new religion- now travelling further west to Spain and Britain.
 
33.
His new-new religion was no longer Boethusianism, it was completely Paulinism a rival to Boethusianism.
 
34.
Paulinism would grow to become what we understand as Western Christianity and Catholicism, while Boethusianism, grew into the Eastern and Orthodox approach to Christianity.  
35.
It was Emperor Constantine that first ordered the world Christian to be applied to all the sects existing 250 later. In truth, the counterfeit religion of Christianity was never united from the start- Paul had set his own agenda.  
36.
In the new scriptures of Paulinism it was Paul as the final voice, Paul as the only credible apostle, Paul as the savior, Paul as equal to Jesus Christ- a position still honored by the structure of every modern Christian Bible and the importance given to Paul by Catholic Clergy today.
