When Jesus spoke to His apostles, it was about a forthcoming calamity. In modern terms, Jesus was forecasting a ‘Great Reset’ or as theologians might call it, a “Great Tribulation.” Prior to the coming of Jesus, there had been order in Judea and the surrounding areas that once encompassed all of Israel. In effect, Herod the Great was as much a king as David had been. He was even allied with the kings around him much like David had been.
Then came Jesus. The kings from
the east came to see Jesus asking, “Where is He that is born King of the Jews”
(Mat 2:2). That one question set off the most intense political intrigue ever. (Herod
even sought to kill both Jospeh and Jesus and wrote it in his will, along with
the names of all the other contenders to replace him.)
According to Josephus, even the
priests had established a priestly dynasty beginning with Annas, including his
sons, and finally fifth, his son-in-law, the chief priest Caiaphas:
John
Hyrcanus II (died 30 BCE), a member of the Hasmonean dynasty, was for a long
time the Jewish High Priest in the 1st century BCE. He was also briefly King of
Judea 67–66 BCE and then the ethnarch (ruler) of Judea, probably over the
period 47–40 BCE.
The chief priests thought of
themselves as heirs to the throne of Judea when Herod was about to die. There
was a scurry for the throne. Also portending to the throne were Herod’s gens,
their ‘congress’ — the Sanhedrin that was led by the Sadducees, not to
forget that the chief priests who were likely all Sadducees.
Annas (Ananias) was chief priest
who the legate, Cyrenius, appointed in AD 6 soon after King Archelaus had been
deposed as ethnarch king of Judea. Without a king, Annas had essentially been a
king, especially since he would have been head of the Sanhedrin.
In the past, even the Pharisees
had sought to rule Judea.
Like it or not, the gospels are
not only about the souls of men and the Redeemer, but also about politics.
When the ‘wise men’ inquired
about the newborn king, Jesus, they put a target on His back. If they had asked
Where is the Messiah? then there may have not been so much killing because the
Jews were expecting a Messiah and not a king.
Jesus was not really killed
because He claimed to be God; the masses considered that crazy. Jesus was
crucified because He, through his supposed father (Luke 3:23), Joseph, who was also
the ‘son of David,’ not a direct son, but of the lineage of King David. As
such, both Joseph and Jesus were heirs to the throne of Judea, and the Romans
would have recognized Jesus as the gens of David.
Gens is the Latin term
indicating family. Just as Julius Caesar was the gens of Julii,
his ancestor, Jesus was thought to be of the gens of David, and was
called, ‘the son of David’ (Mat 1:1) in His supposed genealogy.
The genealogy of Jesus is
included in the Book of Matthew to reveal that, even though Jesus was
not of the blood of Joseph; as the supposed son of Joseph, Jesus was the
legitimate heir to the throne of David.
Missing from their accusations
was that Jesus was also the supposed ‘Son of God’ and the provenance for that was
in Luke chapter three.
The court intrigue did not stop
there; everyone sought to be royalty, to wit:
33
And He (Jesus) came to Capernaum: and
being in the house He asked them, “What was it that ye disputed among
yourselves by the way?” 34 But they held their peace: for by the way
they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 35
And He sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, “If any man desire
to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” (Mark 9:33-35)
Jesus crushed their ambitions!
Even the apostles sought greatness, maybe one of them would be ‘king’ to Jesus’s
‘Caesar’!
Jesus finally made it clear, His
was not a dynasty that would rule but a dynasty of servants: “If any man serve Me,
let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man
serve Me, him will my Father honor” (John 12:26). Jesus came to serve, not to
rule, and his kingdom would be a multitude of servers. Jesus was not a respecter
of persons, but a respecter of ‘lovers’ — those who had goodwill toward Himself
and others!
Jesus came to restore Paradise,
knowing full well that it was so corrupt, that it would take much time. Jesus
will come again to finish the process — to regenerate a new heaven and a new
earth in the same manner as He had done in the beginning (John 1). That would take
time, and time would begin again with his birth, and that was begun with BC;
when the ‘clock’ was reset.
So far, this discourse has been
on the political intrigue that would culminate in the death of the man that
they thought portended to be king of Judea.
Jesus made clear His claim; Jesus
made it plain to Pilate that He sought not the kingship of Judea or even to
insult Caesar whose authority was over the Roman Empire, “My kingdom is not of
this world: if My kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight,
that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is My kingdom not from
hence” (John 18:36). Jesus made it clear that He was not seeking ordination
from Caesar, which was a must be to be king, but that it was Himself
that would be ‘Caesar’ in another far, far away realm.
I have heard preaching and
teaching all my life. Not one time have I heard that the crucifixion was a
political insurrection against the legitimate ruler of Judea.
Jesus was describing to His
apostles what would happen during their time; the crucifixion of Jesus revealed
the most complex conspiracy of all time!
None of those people nor organizations
knew what they were doing. Jesus said that (Luke 23:34), but there was a
conspiracy, and they all were either players or collaborators. The multitude
had praised Jesus on Palm Sunday, but on ‘Good Friday’ they remained silent; they
had become co-conspirators in the assassination of the legitimate king.
No wonder, out of guilt, the apostles
finally decided to follow Jesus, but it took a drastic action for them to
believe; their so-called king had to be killed for them to believe! Even with
that, only the Resurrection of Jesus made them true believers.
Early in the Book of Matthew,
Jesus gave the apostles a glimpse of what would happen, when He said, “Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known” (Mat 10:26).
There was and had been a hidden
conspiracy since time began. It was not a well-known conspiracy but well-planned
and kept secret by the master ‘Illumined One’ — the all-seeing eye of Lucifer
and the real ‘Illuminati’ who had a long-term plan:
11
Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise
of thy viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you. 12
How you have fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut
down to the ground, which did weakened the nations! 13 For you had
said in your heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above
the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the
sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most High.” (Isa
14:11-14)
None of the players at the crucifixion
would have any idea what they were doing. They played the roles that they were
assigned in the beginning. “Beginning?” you ask? Yes, in the beginning after
Eve sinned, “The Lord God said unto the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, you
are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly
shall you go, and dust shall you eat all the days of your life” (Gen 3:14).
The ’Serpent,’ Satan went that
way! Satan entered Judas, the traitor who sought glory, not so much the silver,
and that did not end well. On his belly, Satan the Serpent went, “This man (Judas)
purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst
asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out” (Acts 1:18). That was
Lucifer falling from ‘heaven’ that Isaiah saw repeated.
Judas was buried, fulfilling the
prophecy of Isaiah, “Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of
thy viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you.”
Jesus had to die! The prophecy of
Isaiah required it to be fulfilled. The crucifixion of Jesus ended all the
political shenanigans of all those who aspired to the throne of Judea. Only
King Agrippa would serve Caesar until he fled Judea with the Jewish uprising. The
crucifixion of Jesus undermine Satan who was cast into Hell (Gehenna was the
burial place. His burial was in the place of burning refuse.)
Israel, the country, died in 70
AD after withering since it began. The conspiracy of Lucifer had failed with
him vicariously dead, but like David, the gens of Lucifer remained. All
types of Jewish and miscegenated deviates fulfilled the Luciferin conspiracy;
Israel would be brought down, but Jesus would remain ‘King of the North.’
North in that expression
is not a place north of Judea but sapon in the Hebrew — hidden places,
perhaps referring to Heaven itself.
The Luciferin conspiracy added another
dimension; no longer would Lucifer seek to be satisfied as ‘Prince of the Power
of the Air’ (Ephes 2:2) here on Earth, but ‘King of kings and Lord of lords’ in
Heaven.
Lucifer would not be content with
the death of Caesar, as Caligula, his successor, was surely an ‘antichrist’
with Satan in him that would be passed down to Nero. Lucifer still seeks to
replace God. That and that alone is the archetypical conspiracy and the mother
of all living — the ‘Eve’ in everyone. As such, all sinners are co-conspirators
against God, and politicking has always been the waging of that war.
There is no wall of separation between
Church and State. The ‘State,’ meaning those contending for power, almost
always undermine God in some manner. Even today, Christianity puts targets on
the backs of Christians for them to be vicariously ‘crucified.’
Truth is the enemy of Lucifer,
and as such, those who reveal the truth are certain targets for persecution.
Jesus had revealed to the apostles that some ‘hidden deep state’ would not only
get Him but get them as well, and that holds true to this day. (That
State did get Jesus and all the apostles, save John.)
All the players at the
crucifixion, excepting Pilate, were out to get Jesus because He was in their
way for power. That has remained hidden, perhaps, until now. Pilate was the ‘State’
and the rest were the ‘Deep State.’
Jesus was promising that the Deep
State would be revealed when He said, “Fear them not therefore: for there is
nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.”
His crucifixion revealed to the apostles just how deep that ancient Deep
State was at that time.
It was Jesus who illumined them,
and the Luciferin ‘Illuminati” who concealed the plot. Lucifer remains the false
illumination to this day whose lies so many takes as truth!
All the while, they thought they were killing Jesus; it was God who was sacrificing Himself. As such, the Luciferin Conspiracy 'suicided' Jesus as the ultimate way of gaining power.
