The Baker’s Tomb, Rome, Italy, Constructed circa 74 CE
The journey that leads to the historical “Jesus and Mary Magdalene” begins at Genesis Chapter 40. Joseph the Nazar, princely son of Rachel and Jacob, also known as “Israel,” is sold into slavery in Egypt where he oversees the first crucifixion. Rarely noted is the fact that the first person in the Bible to be crucified is “The Baker.” Philo’s Rules identify enigmas that reveal a great secret: “The Baker” was Rachel, whose name is translated “Spirit of God” and/or “Spirit of Goddess.”
Circa, 41 CE, a member of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty commissioned a cameo that was given the title
Triumph of Joseph at the Court of the Pharaoh
The Cameo depicts the historical people involved in keeping the story of Rachel and Joseph the Nazar alive and celebrated. They wrote, directed, and starred in annual productions of “The Baker, Goddess the Mother” and her Son, “YaH-Zeus the Nazarene” who took her place on the cross. She possessed secret sacred knowledge of the healing properties of herbs and spices and saved the life of her beloved Son. (It was a myth performed for the people!)
“Mother Mary” and “Son of God” both lived on to inspire their subjects.
The moral of the myth is that YaH-Zeus believed women are as valuable as men. In fact, His actions seem to suggest that He believed His Mother’s life was more valuable than His own.
Paul and patriarchal priests and bishops rejected this original version of the Crucifixion and fabricated their own myth which they claimed was factual and historical. They preserved the Scapegoat superstition popular with imperfect men, and they gave YaH-Zeus the Nazarene a new hometown, “Nazareth.” They lied, and their reason was to keep women subservient to men!
Philo Judeaus, a first-century Jewish theologian, codified an ancient secret method for identifying and interpreting enigmas and parables written into Scripture. Plutarch alluded to it and identified Pythagoras as one who learned it and took it to Babylon c. 525 BCE.
In 2002, Gott and Licht recognized Philo’s clues to enigmas embedded in Luke’s Gospel and began testing the method on unresolved biblical questions. Philo’s Rules can be used to interpret both the Old and New Testaments.
Philo’s most important revelations turn Old Testament fantastic tales of a rib turned into a woman and a talking serpent into ancient traditions that rational minds, unencumbered by preconceived notions and religious dogma, can interpret and explain.
Philo reveals, for example, that YHWH (translated in the Bible as LORD, all caps) was the name assumed by ancient Judean Kings who represented an imagined deity that was given the same name. The Kings, like their deity, were narcissistic and authoritarian. They used threats and violence to control the members of their tribes, the Judeans. Instilling fear through violence was their philosophy and their method. Notably, early versions of YHWH included a wife; however, she was eliminated when physical strength became valued more than nurturing, wisdom, and compassion. Most experts identify the figurines in the image below as “Great Mother Goddessses.”

Additionally, Eloah (translated in the Bible as “God”) and LHM (translated incorrectly as “God” but translated correctly, “Goddess the Mother”) were names assumed by ancient Israelite Kings and Queens. They also represented imagined deities that were given the same names, aB-eL (Ba’al) and eLa Ha eM, “Father God and Goddess the Mother.” Eloah was also known as “Father Light,” Hebrew Ab Or; LHM was also known as “Woman Light,” Hebrew Isha Ora, which evolved into Asherah.; Isha ora Ela became Israel, the name of their tribe. Like their imagined deities, these Kings and Queens treated the members of their tribes as beloved children. Love and compassion were their philosophy and their method.
Claims of Venusian origins permeate the Hebrew Bible and other ancient texts, and archaeology lends circumstantial support. In the Sumerian creation story, the Enuma Elish, the Venusian “Beings” are called Sar and Sara, translated “Lord” and “Lady” and/or “Prince” and “Princess.” Stories in the Hebrew Bible and the Enuma Elish seem to describe these “Beings” manipulating the DNA in Earthlings (Adamah), the humanoid life-form which they found on Earth. They introduced Venusian DNA to produce hybrid humanoid-Venusians that would be supported by Earth’s atmosphere. Those with predominantly Venusian DNA became the Tribe of Isha Orah; they were designed to be “Rulers.” Those with predominantly Earthling DNA became the Tribe of Judah; they were destined to be “Workers.”
Finally, give some thought to these observations about Venus: “Through studies of the present cloud structure and geology of the surface, combined with the fact that the luminosity of the Sun has increased by 25% since around 3.8 billion years ago, it is thought that the early environment of Venus was more like that of Earth with liquid water on the surface. At some point in the evolution of Venus, a runaway greenhouse effect occurred, leading to the current greenhouse-dominated atmosphere. The timing of this transition from Earthlike to Venuslike is not known, but is estimated to have occurred around 4 billion years ago. The runaway greenhouse effect may have been caused by the evaporation of the surface water and the rise of the levels of greenhouse gases that followed. Venus’s atmosphere has therefore received a great deal of attention from those studying climate change on Earth.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Venus).
Most scholars agree that The Gospel According to Mark was first chronologically and that Matthew and Luke plagiarized portions to weave into their gospel stories. Mark’s text is remarkably short, but Mark’s text wasn’t written to provide details of Jesus’ life. It was a script for a play, written to celebrate the fulfillment of two Old Testament prophecies.
Micah’s 5:2 prophecy is recited every Christmas:
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrath…from you shall come forth the Rulerof Israel…”
The more important prophecy, virtually unknown, is Micah 4:8; 4:10:
“As for you, MGDL[1]of the flock…the former dominion will be restored to you; the Kingdom will come toDaughterJerusalem.
[1] MGDL rendered MiGDoL is translated, “watchtower”; rendered MaGDaL it becomes “Magdala.”
“Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion, like a woman in labor…You will go to Babylon; there you will be delivered, redeemed from the hand of YaHWeH, your adversary.”
Jewish Passover was to be superseded by a Crucifixion-Resurrection Festival for Daughter Jerusalem andthe Ruler of Israel.
People, places, and events in Matthew and Luke but not found in Mark are attributed to a reconstructed “lost gospel” called Quelle, Q for short. Example: “Bethlehem” is not mentioned in Mark’s script. “Bethlehem” and “Virgin Mother” are found only in Matthew and Luke. So, Q is credited with these added details. However, evidence reveals that someone made substantial changes to Mark’s text, including removing key portions. The most glaring example is the elimination of verses that follow Mk 16:8.
Mark 16:9-19, as found in KJV and most other versions, was added after c. 300 CE, the time of Clement who did not know of theses verses, and before c. 400, the time of Jerome who was aware of them but noted they were not in the Greek Mark he used.
For three centuries the ending was left hanging, Jesus’ post-resurrection fate a mystery if Mark were the only source. Of course, Matthew and Luke describe post-resurrection events in great detail, so Mark’s ending wasn’t needed. This suggests the men who compiled the New Testament intended that Matthew’s gospel would replace Mark’s.
The hand that removed Mark’s version of the post-resurrection events also removed “Bethlehem” and “Virgin Mother.” Matthew inadvertently identifies himself at Mt 2:23:
“And he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled. ‘He shall be called a Nazarene.’”
Matthew’s “from Nazareth“ hence “The Nazarene” seems to be confirmed at Mk 1:9:
“…Jesus came from Nazareth…”
Luke, however, disputes Matthew’s claim and this confirmation in Mark:
“We have found this man to be…a ringleader of the
Nazareneheresy” (Acts 24:5).
Now look at Mk 1:9 when BTLHM, the Hebrew consonants that become BeTLeHeM, are restored:
“Jesus came from BTLHM…”
Due to the interchangeability of Hebrew vowels, these same fixed consonants can also be rendered BeTuLaH eM, translated “Virgin Mother.” Both key elements attributed to Q are restored to Mark with this one correction.
Why would Matthew claim that Jesus resided in Nazareth, rather than retain Mark’s explanation that “Jesus came from BTLHM”?
The reason is easy to uncover: BTLHM can reveal too much information. The Hebrew consonants BTLHM can also be rendered BeT eLa Ha eM, translated “House (of) Goddess the Mother.” AND, another valid rendering produces what was, for Matthew, “way too much information”:
BaT eLa Ha eM is translated, “Daughter Goddess the Mother.”
Micah’s Daughter Jerusalem Prophecy is fulfilled!
Matthew lied, then interpolated Mark to support his lie!
But this solution works only if Mark’s script was written in Hebrew, a claim some Church Fathers tried to make for Matthew, their preferred gospel. However, their claim is judged false by most scholars, and abundant evidence supports this conclusion.
Another reason Matthew lied and interpolated Mark was to hide the real reason Jesus was called, “The Nazarene.” Nazarene is too easily connected to Joseph the Nazar in Genesis, Rachel’s firstborn son; Israel/Jacob’s favorite son; Abraham and Sarah’s grandson. Jacob gifted Joseph with a “robe of many colors,” a visible reminder that he favored this son over the others. Joseph’s envious brothers sold him to a passing caravan that took him to Egypt where he became one of Pharaoh’s slaves. There he served alongside another slave, known only as “The Baker.” Mark’s thread, Jesus the Nazarene, son of Joseph can be tied to JosephtheNazar son of Israel in Genesis. That was also “way too much information” for Matthew and his cohorts.
Mark’s new god-myth was created to peacefully unite the followers of YaHWeH with the followers of Zeus under One God and One Goddess. The Priest-Kings representing “God” were called “Yah-Zeus.” The Priestess-Queens representing “Goddess” were called “Magdala.” YaHWeH’s Judeans were awaiting the fulfillment of Micah’s prophesies. Mark’s script brought them back—in person.
What was Mark’s inspiration for the Crucifixion? There is one intriguing crucifixion in the Old Testament: The Baker. Mark’s reason for revisiting Genesis to introduce Jesus and Mary Magdalene is hidden within Genesis 40:22:
Hebrew consonants: WTSRHPMTLHKSRPTRLHMYSP
Orthodox rendering and translation:
We eT SaR Ha oPiM TaLaH KaSaR PaTaR LaHeM YoSeP
“…but he crucified the chief baker, just as had been interpreted by Joseph.”
However, and this is big, the House of Hillel—a school of philosophy and ethics that was continued under his grandson Nasi Gamaliel[2]—promoted an equally valid Essene-Nazarene rendering and translation of the same fixed consonants:
Gen 40:22: WTSRHPMTLHKSRPTRLHMYSP
We eT iSha oRa, ‘Ha oPiM,’ eT eLaH, KiSaR PeTeR, eLa Ha eM, YoSeP.
“But Woman Light, ‘The Baker,’ is Elah, Kisar’s[3] firstling,[4] Ela the Mother of Joseph.”
In Genesis, Joseph’s mother is RKL, RaKeLa (aka, “Rachel”), derived from Hebrew words, RuaK and eL.RuaK is translated, “spirit”; eL is eLoah (“God”), eLa (“Goddess”), and/or eLoHiM (“Gods”). “RaKeLa” identifies Joseph’s mother as the “Spirit of God/Goddess.”
At Gen 35:19, and repeated at Gen 48:7, RaKeLa died and was buried “bederek Ephrath hi Bethlehem,” translated “on the way[5] to Ephrath (that is) Bethlehem.” Bethlehem and Ephrath are in Micah’s 5:2 prophecy, tying it to RaKeLa in Genesis.
At Gen 35:20, “Jacob” (also called “Israel”) sets up a pillar over RaKeLa’s grave. At Gen 35:21, “Israel” (also called “Jacob”) pitches his tent beyond the MGDL EDR, tying Micah’s 4:8 prophecy to RaKeLa. These references to verses in Genesis identify Daughter Jerusalem as “RaKeLa,” the earthly representation of Ela Ha Em. She was the Spirit of Goddess, Mother and Daughter. She was repeatedly rejected by YaHWeH’s Judean priests, so she waited in Babylon for her time to return. When that time came, Hillel traveled from Babylon to Jerusalem and established her “House.” There, the value of feminine attributes—compassion, cooperation, love, and service—was taught to “those with ears to hear.”
The Hebrew word for “Baker” is apha. At Gen 35:19, ePHRaT Hi BeTLeHeM can be rendered aPHa oR eT Hi BaT eLa Ha eM, “Baker Light (that is) Daughter Goddess the Mother.” This “Daughter” is the “Mother of Children of Light.”[6]
Furthermore, LHM can also be rendered LeHeM, the Hebrew word for “bread,” a Baker’s most valuable contribution in ancient times.
So, the Hebrew consonants, LHM, can be rendered “bread” and/or “Goddess the Mother.” Now read the Old Testament and Mark’s script; the Hebrew consonants LHM are translated incorrectly as “God.”[7]; the correct translation choices are “Gods“ (plural), “bread,” and/or Ela the Mother.” SHE can be found 2,598 times in the Old Testament and another 48 times in Mark’s unfinished story.
The grand finale of Mark’s play has never been recovered because it was abhorrent to Paul and the priests. The new God and Son of God had to replace the Judean’s scapegoat so unethical people could continue self-serving schemes, then pay for absolution. Only fools would “treat others as they want to be treated” for Christ’s sake! Paul refused to accept a Son of God and Goddess who offered to give His life that the Great Mother Goddess might be saved.
Being a Goddess, Mother prepared an elixir that also saved her son. Mark’s closing scene was performed as the morning sun and Venus rose in the East. Mother takes a laurel crown from her head and places it on her Son. She takes a laurel necklace from around her neck and places it on her Daughter. Hand-in-hand, the three lead The Way to BeT LeHeM, a “House of Bread,” followed by jubilant women, dancing and singing, “Hosanna! Hosanna!” At “Bethlehem,” wreaths of laurel decorate tables covered in white linen; congregants are served Mola Salsa Wafers and sacred spring water. The celebration continues for three more days.[8]
But some of the men were fearful that this Goddess, a former slave, might empower women and slaves. Paul’s Christianity caught fire with them; furthermore, vicarious atonement was more appealing than sharing with those less fortunate. Fear of women and freedmen[9] in positions of power, fueled by Paul’s anti-women and pro-slavery propaganda, exploded into the First Jewish Revolt that lasted four years (66-70). It ended with the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.
The Julio-Claudians were victorious, but Paul’s Heresy was not eradicated. Priests and Bishops stoked the embers of fear in the minds of insecure men until an Emperor they controlled rose to power.
Circa 306, Constantine, a puppet of the Church, became Emperor of Rome. Circa 400, all other faiths became heresies, especially The Way of the Nazarene. Anyone practicing a competing religion was arrested, tortured, converted, and/or killed. The superstition of vicarious atonement triumphed over the logic of Jesus’ unconditional love and compassion.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
And yes, history does often rhyme.
“Destruction of the Temple” (by Francesco Hayez, 1867)
Paul’s Zealots took control of the Jerusalem Temple (c. 68 CE). Roman soldiers reclaimed it on April 14, 70 CE.

In Rome, “Ela the Mother” was known as “Ishtar” and “Venus.” At Rev 22:16, Yah-Zeus reveals his Judean and Heavenly ancestors:
“…I am the root, the offspring of David,
and (offspring of) the magnificent morning Astar.”
Venus is “Astar,” “Astar” is “Ishtar,” “Ishtar” is Easter.
The Julio-Claudians could not have known that one of their sons would turn the Jesus Myth into a false history and an affluent-male supremacist heresy. Their successful Resurrection of Goddess the Mother became the most consequential failure in the history of the world.
A monument constructed to commemorate The Story of Jesus the Nazarene and Mary Magdalene stands next to the Porta Maggiore, Rome’s East Gate. It’s called, “The Baker’s Tomb.” The couple whose remains were interred there are identified as “former slaves.” When Paul’s Christianity became the official religion of Rome, The Baker’s Tomb was buried under a massive stone structure; it remained hidden until anti-slavery Pope Gregory XVI ordered it uncovered twenty years before the Civil War in America.[2]

Why did Goddess appear as an enslaved Baker?
A slave serves others, a quality Jesus celebrated; a quality he demonstrated. A slave doesn’t seek recognition; slaves serve with quiet humility.
Joseph and eLa Ha eM were observant and wise. Their foresight and wisdom saved the Egyptians from starvation when the cyclical drought brought famine to the unprepared. Pharaoh rewarded Joseph by putting him in charge of all of Egypt, with LHM advising.

The massive fire that destroyed Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15, 2019, reopened discussions about the Crown of Thorns, one of Christianity’s most revered “Relics of Christ.”
The story of the Crown of Thorns begins with the Gospel According to Mark, the first written chronologically and most likely the closest to the original Hebrew version of the Story of Jesus. No Hebrew version has survived – at least none is known.
A “Hebrew Mark” is a hypothesis that is still resisted by Markan scholars who continue to rely on the writings of Early Church Fathers, whom they assume to be trustworthy. This seems strange because they’ve already found evidence that the Fathers lied about another related claim: Papias, Bishop of Hierapolis (circa 60 to circa 163 CE), wrote the Exposition of the Sayings of the Lord in five books. It is known through brief excerpts by Irenaeus of Lyons (circa180) and Eusebius of Caesarea (circa 320).
Among his many claims is that Matthew’s gospel was written first, and in Hebrew, a claim repeated by Jerome (circa 327 to 420). However, it has been universally discounted by textual examination and modern scholarship in general.
According to Jerome, all the Jewish Christian communities shared a single gospel, identical with the Hebrew or Aramaic Matthew. Furthermore, he claimed to have personally found this gospel in use among some communities in Syria. He also claimed to have seen a gospel in Aramaic that contained all the quotations he assigns to it; however, scholars have been able to prove that some of them could never have existed in a Semitic language.
Jerome’s claim that he produced all the translations himself is also suspect because Origen and Eusebius before him used the same quotations. Jerome appears to have assigned these quotations to the Gospel of the Hebrews, but scholars argue it is more likely that there were at least two and probably three ancient Jewish-Christian gospels, only one of them in a Semitic language.
That “one…in a Semitic language” is the original version of what became The Gospel According to Mark. In other words, the Fathers from Papias to Jerome and beyond lied! What were they trying to hide?
Papias’ reason for inventing this lie, and Jerome’s reason for adding more lies and passing them on, was to distract from the fact that Mark’s gospel was chronologically first, and it was written in Hebrew, and they knew it. And they feared “The Secret of the Kingdom of LHM” could be easily revealed when the Gospel was translated from the Hebrew language using Philo’s Rules.
The “Hebrew Matthew Proto-Primacy” lie was created to hide the reason Jesus was called “The Nazarene.” It was not because he came from Nazareth (Mt 2:23). It was the fact that Mark’s story of “Jesus the Nazarene” was a revival of the story of “Joseph the Nazar” in Genesis, the freedman who became Vizier over all of Egypt.
If the goal is to find the Historical Jesus and the true story of the Crown of Thorns, the focus must be on the Hebrew-language Gospel According to Mark before it was translated into Greek and falsified to promote the Orthodox agenda. And as always, Philo’s Rules must be employed in order to identify and interpret enigmas carefully placed throughout scripture.
Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and their family, went to great lengths to preserve the truth so it could be revealed at a later time of great need. Today, is a time of great need to find the truth about the Historical Jesus. Following Philo leads to many truths about the man called “Jesus” that have been withheld for more than two thousand years.
With the Advent of the House of Hillel and the House of Shammai, the Torah Became like Two Torahs.
The House of Hillel and the House of Shammai were two schools of Jewish thought and law founded by Hillel the Elder and his contemporary, Shammai. Both schools flourished in Jerusalem under their founders and descendants beginning circa 40 BCE. Their influence encompassed the years leading up to the arrival of “Jesus the Nazarene,” the Crucifixion and Resurrection, Eleazar’s execution of members of the House of Hillel, the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE, and many generations beyond.[2]
The founders’ names carry clues to their divergent philosophies and interpretations of the Torah: Shammai, from shema, is the first word of a section of the Torah that opens the morning and evening prayers addressed to YHWH.Shema is translated, “hear-obey.” Shammai was an ultra-conservative Torah and Ten Commandments literalist. He was a YaH-udean, a proponent of YaHWeH, a leader of the Tribe of Judah.
Hillel, from Ha’eL eL eLa, translated, “Praise God-Goddess,”
is a reference to the opening words in Genesis when Philo’s Rules[3] for
interpretation are applied (we’ll examine them in a moment). Hillel was a Nasi, translated “lord” and/or “prince.”
He was a liberal, progressive teacher who minimized the value of the Ten Commandments when he condensed his version
of the Torah into one sentence: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your
fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn.”[4]
Hillel was a proponent of Ba’eL and Isha Orah, translated “Father God” and “Woman
Light.” Together, Isha Orah and El are IshOrahEl. Hillel was a leader of the remnants of the Tribe of Ishrael
after the mass defections at Mount Carmel.[5]
Hillel taught Shammai’s precepts
alongside his own; in fact, Hillel’s students recited Shammai’s first before Hillel’s.[6] However,
Shammai prohibited his students from knowing anything of Hillel’s teachings. The
Ten Commandments cannot be ignored or
compromised!
Historically, Kings and Queens took the
name of their preferred imagined deity.
For example, Persian King Nabuchadnezzar was named after the god, Nabu; the King’s name means, “Nabu
preserve/protect my firstborn son.” Cyrus the Great, a hero in the Old Testament,[7] was so compassionate
that his subjects, who believed him to be God, called him “Father.”
In Old Testament stories, YaHWeH, Ba’eL, eLa Ha eM and Isha Orah (also known as “Asherah”) are names
of Kings and Queens who embodied imagined deities of the same name. YHWH (translated
“LORD”) was imagined to be authoritative and vindictive; Father El, Ela the
Mother, and Asherah were imagined to be compassionate and forgiving, like loving
Parents. Notably, Jesus prayed to “Abba, Abba” (Mk 14:36) and “Ela, Ela” (Mk 15:34),
a clear indication that he was a graduate of the School of Nasi Hillel.
The Old Testament deity that exhibits symptoms
of a “bi-polar personality disorder” is explained by this rational interpretation
of biblical texts. The stories are
not about “One God” with a confusing dual nature. The stories are about the leaders
of two tribes whose ruling styles were based on two different schools of thought and interpretations of Torah. The
Kings’ chosen deities, and namesakes, were imagined
into being by men and women who infused them with their own values,
emotions, and opinions about the best way to rule.
More intriguing and impressive, “the Torah
was like two Torahs” because one string of Hebrew consonants can be
used to create two different
sentences with entirely different
meanings, one for Shammai’s Judeans, the other for Hillel’s Israelites.
For example, Genesis 1:1 opens with the
consonants, BRSTBRLHM. Rendered BaReSiT BaRa
eLoHiM, these words are translated, “In the beginning God created…” (Shammai’s version
which was also recited by Hillel’s students before
reciting the Nasi’s alternative version). Here’s the problem with this
translation: the Hebrew word for “God” is Eloah;
the im suffix creates the plural, “Gods.” Philo says this “artificial
interpretation of a single expression”[8] is a
signal to the initiated (i.e., Hillel’s students) to look for an alternative correct word. A correct rendering and translation of LHM is eLa Ha eM, “Goddess the Mother.” This may not be acceptable to Shammai,
patriarchal priests, evangelical preachers, or the Pope, but it is the correct rendering and translation of LHM.
(According to Strong’s Hebrew Concordance, Goddess
the Mother (LHM) appears 2,598 times in the OT.)
Here’s where it gets really interesting: BRSTBRLHM can be correctly rendered BaR iS, eT aB oR, eLa Ha eM, “Son of Man, Father Light, Goddess the
Mother…” (Nasi Hillel’s Nasarene translation
unknown to Shammai’s students). This was the original “Holy Trinity” that was rejected by Paul and the Church
Fathers. This discovery solves the mystery of the “Son of Man” sayings in the
New Testament. “Son of Man” is the phrase that opens Hillel’s version of Genesis,
a clue to the version taught by Jesus who
repeatedly refers to himself as “Son of Man.”[9] Unfortunately,
the correct interpretation that Jesus preferred has been hidden from orthodox successors of the Early Church,
while the protectors of His secret have been forced to hide underground.
Jesus the Nasarean said to the Twelve
and the others around him, “The secret of the kingdom
ofGod has been given to you. But to those on the outside
everything is said in parables …” (aka, “enigmas”;
Mk 4:11). “The Secret” is that the word erroneously translated “God” is LHM,
correctly translated “Goddess the Mother.”She is rediscovered when Mark is translated
back to the original Hebrew, a
concept not yet embraced by resistant Markan scholars. However, compelling evidence
has existed for several decades: While working on the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1963,
French biblical scholar Jean Carmignac decided to translate Greek Mark to
Hebrew. He was surprised to discover that the translation points to Greek Mark as a
translation from a Hebrew or Aramaic original.[10]
And more evidence can be teased from the text, what’s there
and what’s missing. “Mark” fails to mention that Jesus came “from Bethlehem”
and was born to a “Virgin Mother.” These stunning omissions are especially problematic
because most biblical scholars agree that proto-Mark was the source for Matthew’s
and Luke’s gospels where Micah’s Bethlehem
Prophesy (5:2-3) is fulfilled. Early Church Fathers claimed Matthew’s gospel
was composed first, and in Hebrew, a
claim most scholars discount today. However, they continue to defend many of the
Fathers’ other claims, including that Jesus was called “The Nazarene” because “he
came from Nazareth.” This, too, was an early distraction to lead the faithful
away from the “Historical Jesus” and the truth about his mission.
Two New Testament verses are all that stand in the way of finding
Bethlehem and the Virgin Mother in Mark’s Hebrew gospel. Once that’s done, a related
prophesy in Micah and a related story in Genesis can be used to restore the lost
ending: The related prophesy is Micah
4:8-10, the return of “Magdal, Daughter Jerusalem”[11]; the related story in Genesis is 40:22; 41:1-45, the crucifixion,
reappearance, and demonstrated wisdom of “The Baker.”
The
two New Testament interpolations that led us all astray are:
Matthew
2:23: “and he went and lived in…Nazareth.
So…he would be called a Nazarene.”
Mark
1:9: “At that time Jesus came from Nazareth
in Galilee…”
Available evidence viewed objectively
suggests that Bishop Irenaeus (c. 130 to c. 200) added verse 23 to the end of Matthew,
Chapter Two, then interpolated Mark 1:9 to lend support.[12] In doing
so, he removed the fulfillment of the two important prophesies that would identify
“The Messiah.”
Look
at what happens when “Nazareth” is replaced by “Bethlehem” at Mk 1:9:
Hebrew BTLHM, rendered BeTLeHeM, is the “little town in Galilee,” as prophesied.
Hebrew BTLHM, rendered BeTuLaH eM, is translated “Virgin Mother,” as prophesied.
Hebrew BTLHM, rendered BaT eLa Ha eM, is translated “Daughter, Goddess the Mother.”
Both the missing prophesies are fulfilled in Mark’s gospel when
“Nazareth” is removed and “BTLHM” is restored. Furthermore, a “Daughter, Goddess the Mother”
also appears. What’s that about? And, why would Bishop Irenaeus or any other Church
Father falsify the reason “Jesus” was called “The Nazarene”?
The answers to these questions explain why “Jesus the Nazarene, Son of Joseph” was “born”
in the first place. Mark’s Crucifixion was originally
a dramatization of the story of the first
crucifixion in Genesis. The victim is “The Baker” whom Pharaoh imprisoned with “Joseph
the Nazar,” Israel’s “Prince,” sold into slavery by his envious step-brothers. Joseph’s
mother was RKL RaKeL (oRaK + eLa = “Spirit of Ela”), and his biological father was a King whose name was Eloah.[13]
This is the King El and Queen Ela praised by HaeL El and Ela, the man whose name, Hillel, is literally translated, “Praise El and Ela.”
The Baker is sentenced to be crucified;
Hillel’s rendering of the climactic
scene reveals that The Baker is Rachel,
Joseph’s Mother.[14]
Two years later, when Pharaoh has worrisome
dreams and is desperate to have them explained, Joseph, with help from LHM, interprets them and saves the people of Egypt
from a great famine.[15]
Obviously, The Baker, also known as eLa Ha eM, was not crucified after all.[16]
Scholars agree that the original ending of Mark’s gospel was removed,
and two later attempts were made to harmonize it with Matthew and Luke.[17] Fortunately, Hillel’s interpretation
of the first crucifixion in Genesis also helps reconstruct the original ending of Hebrew Mark:
In the remake played out on the streets
of Jerusalem, Jesus the Nazarene volunteers
to take his mother’s place on the cross; Jesus valued Her life over his own! She, then, concocts an elixir from plants and
saves his life, too. “Virgin Mother” (BeTuLaH
eM), “Son of God” (YaH-Zeus),[18] and “Daughter
of Goddess the Mother” (BaT eLa Ha eM)
emerge from the tomb victorious over death. “Daughter Jerusalem”[19] returns
to fulfill Micah’s ignored prophesy
(4:8-10),[20] and the
Son, Daughter, Goddess and God live on, generation after generation into
infinity. Well, that was the plan.
Judah’s patriarchal priests objected to honoring the goddess;
She might elevate the perceived value of women. Worse, women who felt valued
might rebel against those who attempted to subjugate and control them. YHWH
forbid!
Some Judean priests rejected the new myth outright and remained
Orthodox Jews. They supported the Zealot,
Eleazar ben Ananias, who invited the students of both schools to meet at his
house; Eleazar, another trickster, instructed armed men to let no-one leave the
meeting; several members of the House of Hillel were then killed; Eleazar’s men
leverage these deaths to force the others to adopt Shammai’s rules, The Eighteen Articles. Jewish history defines
the occasion as a day of misfortune.[21] Indeed! It was the opening
volley that led to the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 CE.
More moderate priests were ready for the Messiah to appear, but not Daughter
Jerusalem. And so, “Jesus the Scapegoat Savior of Believers” was born,
setting back the recognition of the value of women another two thousand years
while giving birth to Paul’s “Christianity.”
The truth underlying biblical stories does not demand that rational
reasoning be replaced by faith in irrational claims, as we’ve been told. It does
demand thoughtful consideration of the evidence, and a mind open to a revised history and the restoration of herstory.
“The Nasarene,” as he was known, reveals that Jesus was a descendant
of “The Nasi” Hillel and inherited the
position of Nasi of the Great Sanhedrin.
Hillel’s grandson was Nasi Gamaliel the Elder; Gamaliel’s son was “Jesus,” also
known as, “bar-Jesus.”[22]
Gamaliel VI (circa 370 to 425) was the last Nasi of the Great
Sanhedrin, ascending to that position circa 400. On October 20, 415, Emperors
Honorius and Theodosius II issued an edict that stripped Gamaliel of his rank
of Honorary Prefect. It banned him
from building synagogues, deciding disputes between Jews and Christians,
converting non-Jews to Judaism, and owning Christian slaves. [23]
Gamaliel was probably executed in 425, the year before an
edict transformed the patriarch’s tax into an imperial tax. Theodosius refused
to allow the appointment of a successor and in 429 terminated the Jewish
patriarchate.[24]
This
is just the beginning of the secrets Hillel’s
Method of interpretation reveals. Philo of Alexandria preserved, simplified, and
enumerated it on behalf of the man rejected by Paul and the Early Church Fathers,
“Jesus the Nasarene.”
[5]
1 Kings 18:36-40:
Elijah the trickster tossed a water-combustible chemical on water to prove YHWH
was more powerful than Father El and Asherah. The majority of the Israelites abandoned
their deities in favor of YHWH.

John).

To the Twelve and the others around him, Jesus said, “The secretof the kingdom of LHMhas been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in enigmas…” (Mk 4:11).
What was “The Secret”? It’s found when Mark is translated back to the original Hebrew.[1]
In the Old Testament LHM is translated 2,598 times as “God.” THIS IS INCORRECT. The im suffix creates the plural of eLoaH, the correct word for “God.” Considering the context of the stories, the only correct rendering of LHM is eLa Ha eM, “Goddess the Mother.” That was “The Secret” known to the people closest to Jesus, and it was the secret they set about to share with new converts. No longer would Judah and Israel be missing their ancient goddess destroyed over and over again by misogynistic Kings. Jesus the Messiah returned, and he brought Her with him.
Furthermore, Jesus volunteered to sacrifice his life when hers was threatened! In other words, Jesus valued his mother’s life over his own! That was the original ending of the Myth of Jesus the Nazarene in Mark’s gospel.
Two New Testament verses are all that stand in the way of this Christianity-shattering revelation:
Matthew 2:23: “and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So…he would be called a Nazarene.”
Mark 1:9: “At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee…”
Scholars have always expressed concern that “Mark” seems unaware that Jesus came “from Bethlehem” and was born to a “Virgin Mother.” These oversights are especially problematic because most agree that proto-Mark was the source for Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels. However, trusted Early Church Fathers claimed Matthew’s gospel was composed first in Hebrew, an attempt to cover the fact that Mark was first and it was composed in Hebrew.[1]
Evidence suggests that Bishop Irenaeus (c. 130 to c. 200) added verse 23 to the end of Matthew, Chapter Two, then interpolated Mark’s to lend support. In doing so, he removed the fulfillment of the two important prophesies that would identify “The Messiah.”
Look at what happens when “Nazareth” is replaced by “Bethlehem”:
BTLHM, rendered BeTLeHeM, is a “little town in Galilee.”
BTLHM, rendered BeTuLaH eM, is translated “Virgin Mother.”
BTLHM, rendered BaT eLa Ha eM, is translated “Daughter of Goddess the Mother.”
Both the missing prophesies are fulfilled in Mark’s gospel when “Nazareth” is removed and “Bethlehem” is restored.
Why would Irenaeus or any other Church Father falsify the reason “Jesus” was called “The Nazarene”?
It’s the reason “Jesus the Nazarene” was invented in the first place. The story of the first crucifixion in the Old Testament is about a “Baker” whom Pharaoh imprisoned with “Joseph the Nazar” (Israel’s “Prince” who was sold into slavery). Joseph’s mother was Rachel and his biological father was King Eloah.[2] The Baker is sentenced to be crucified. The Essene-Nazarene rendering of the climactic scene reveals that “The Baker” is Rachel, Joseph’s Mother. Two years later, when Pharaoh is disturbed by dreams, Joseph, with help from LHM, interprets them and saves the people of Egypt from a great famine. Obviously, something happened and Rachel the Baker, also known as eLa Ha eM, was not crucified.
Scholars agree that the original ending of Mark’s gospel was removed and at least two attempts made to harmonize it with Orthodoxy. However, the story of the first crucifixion in Genesis helps reconstruct the original ending of Hebrew Mark.
“Jesus the Nazarene, Son of Joseph” was an updated version of the story of “Joseph the Nazar, Son of Rachel,” aka, “Goddess the Mother.” Jesus son of Goddess volunteered to take her place on the cross so that she could live. She, then, concocted an elixir from plants that saved his life, too. Mother (LHM), Son (YH-Zeus), and Daughter of Goddess the Mother (Bat Ela Ha Em) emerged from the tomb victorious over death. The Goddess returns, and the Son and Daughter of God and Goddess live on, elevating the status of women.
Judah’s patriarchal priests objected. Many rejected the new myth outright and remained Orthodox Jews; however, some were open to an alternative version of the return of the Messiah. And so “Jesus the Scapegoat Savior of Believers” was born, setting back the recognition of the value of women another two thousand years.

BAKER’S TOMB, ROME, ITALY JUNE 15, 2015 Photograph by P.J. Gott
When I first saw the Baker’s Tomb in June 2015, it was surrounded by weeds. It sits just outside Rome’s East Gate, the Porta Maggiore, which features a “wide” and a “narrow” gate, the inspiration for Mt 7:13-14. It was built c. 52 when Claudius was Emperor.
Contrary to tradition, the Baker’s Tomb was not built in the first century BCE; it was built c. 74 CE when the two people most important to the Story of Jesus the Nazarene and Mary the Magdalene died within a short time of one another. Their remains were placed in the Tomb, which became the focus of Essene-Nazarene ceremonies for more than three hundred years.
Then, circa 400 CE, Bishop Epiphanius convinced Emperors Theodosius and his son Honorius to put an end to the Nazarene “Heresy” for all time. They buried the Baker’s Tomb and the Porta Maggiore beneath a monstrous structure and destroyed all other “heretical” monuments and temples throughout the Roman Empire.
A heavily damaged marble relief of the couple entombed was retrieved in 1838 when Pope Gregory the XVI had the Tomb and the Porta Maggiore uncovered, concurrent with an apostolic letter forbidding “Faithful Catholics” to participate in the Atlantic Slave Trade.
Hidden for more than two centuries in the bowels of the Capitoline Museum, the marble relief was recently restored and put on display at one of Rome’s least-visited museums, Centrale Montemartini. A former industrial power plant, this obscure museum houses over 400 pieces of ancient sculpture from the collection of the Capitoline Museums. At one time, the woman’s head was missing in photographs. This “Freedman” and “Freedwoman” were dressed much like royalty of the time.
In fact, the image of the Baker and her husband (above) is very similar to one of Emperor Tiberius and Empress Livia (below). (Tiberius was the father of the man who played the role of “Jesus the Nazarene.”)
An epitaph found with the relief portrait of the Baker and her husband is written in Latin and honors the woman:
FVIT ATISTIA VXOR MIHEI Atistia was my wife
FEMINA OPITVMA VEIXSIT A most excellent lady in life
QVOIVS CORPORIS RELIQVIAE the surviving remains of her body
QUOD SVPERANT SVNT IN which are in
HOC PANARIO
this breadbasket
Writing in the Greek language, Philo of Alexandria, a contemporary of “JC and MM,” overused the phrase, “most excellent,” to the extreme, in writings still extant. It is also prominent in the opening verses of Luke and Acts. I note this because “Atistia the Freedwoman” was also known as the “Freedman Antonius Pallas,” the “Freedwoman Antonia Caenis,” “Philo of Alexandria,” “Mary Magdalene,” et. al. Evidence for this stunning claim is outlined in mind-numbing detail in the three volumes of Following Philo, available from Amazon (link below).
The Tomb itself is rife with clues to the identities of the couple. Look closely at the three times the letter “T” appears. They are noticeably larger than the other letters and appear be crosses in the style of first century Roman crucifixions.
The Latin words, repeated on the three sides of the Tomb that remain intact are, MARCEI VERGILEI EURYSACIS PISTORIS REDEMPTORIS APPARET, traditionally translated, incorrectly, “This is the monument of Marcus Vergilius Eurysacis, baker, contractor, public servant.”
However, this common translation is problematic and deficient for several reasons: The most obvious problem is with the last word, APPARET. Translated here as a noun (“public servant”), apparet is a verb that means “to come in sight, to appear, become visible, make one’s appearance (class. in prose and poetry).” Also, “to be seen, to show one’s self, be in public, appear.” Therefore, it is quite clear that “public servant” is not the correct translation.
MARCEI is a reference to the god Mars, the father of twin sons, Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome. The twins’ mother, Rhea Silvia, was a Vestal Virgin. In one version of the myth, the twins were conceived when Mars visited Rhea Silvia in a sacred laurel grove that was dedicated to him. It may also refer to Marc Antony’s daughter Antonia, the mother of the woman who played the role of “Mary Magdalene.”
VERGILEI is a reference to Vestal Virgins, the preeminent “Bakers” in the Roman Empire. Vestals led the annual New Year rites on March 1 when new laurel branches replaced the old branches as they relit the sacred fire to symbolize a fresh start of the New Year. The poet “Vergil,” a “Vestal Virgin,” was the grandmother of the woman called “Mary Magdalene.”
The Vestals’ most important festival was the annual Vestalia which ran from June 7 to June 15. On June 9, according to first century poet Ovid, also a Julio-Claudian, a donkey was crowned with garlands of flowers and bits of bread. The donkey was the animal consecrated to Vesta; it was also the animal that delivered the “Bat Ela Ha Em, the Betulah em, to Bet Lehem” (translated, “Daughter of Ela the Mother, the Virgin Mother, to Bethlehem”). A donkey also delivered Jesus to “Daughter Jerusalem” prior to the Crucifixion.
EURYSACIS can be broken into two words: Eury means “wide”; sacis means “narrow.” Rome’s East Gate, like Jerusalem’s East Gate, had a wide gate and a narrow gate. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it” (Mt 7:13-4). The message is that a Princess of Peace passing through the narrow gate is more effective than soldiers, horses, and chariots storming through the wide gate.
PISTORIS takes us back to Ovid. Included in the definition of PISTORIS is one revealed by him: “A surname of Jupiter, because, when the Romans were besieged in the Capitol, he gave them the idea of hurling bread, as though they had an abundance of it, at the besieging Gauls.” “Jupiter,” of course, was the Roman name for the deity the Greeks called “Zeus”–as in YaH-Zeus. Therefore, if Jupiter’s surname was Pistoris, then Zeus’ and YaH-Zeus’ surnames were Pistoris as well.
REDEMPTORIS can also be tied to Mary Magdalene: the Hebrew words, MGDL DR (MiGDoL eDeR), are translated, “watchtower of the flock.” The MaGDaL was introduced in the Old Testament immediately before the Bethlehem Prophecy (Mic 5:2-3) at Mic 4:8: “As for you, watchtower of the flock, stronghold of Daughter Zion, the former dominion will be restored to you; the Kingdom will come to Daughter Jerusalem.”
Can this be interpreted as anything other than a prophecy that Daughter Jerusalem–the Watchtower of the Flock–would be resurrected from the ashes of Asherah that YHWH demanded be destroyed: “Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places” (Dt 12:3).
Micah’s prophecy continues: “Writhe in agony, Daughter Zion, like a woman in labor, for now you must leave the city to camp in the open field. You will go to Babylon [where the Old Testament was compiled and edited]; there you will be delivered, Redemptorisfrom the hand of YHWH, your adversary” (Micah 4:9-10).
The Julio-Claudian Dynasty honored the Essene-Nazarene version of Gen 1:1: “Son of Man, Father Light, Ela the Mother.” They were fully aware that the “Gods and Goddesses” in Hebrew Scripture were, in fact, mortal Kings and Queens who assumed the name of their imagined deity. They understood that myths had always been attached to mortal members of royal families in order to engender awe and compliance among their subjects. They reenacted the story of the “Baker,” Joseph’s mother whom he saved from crucifixion by taking her place on the Cross. These annual celebrations were a thorn in the side of Paul and the Early Church Fathers.
The patriarchal, misogynistic Church Fathers chose the Judean version of the Hebrew Bible. They took the mythological story of “YaH-Zeus,” the “Watchtower of the Flock,” and the “Daughter of Ela the Mother,” buried the Goddess, separated “Jesus” from the Nazarenes, and turned YaH-Zeus into a historical, magical “Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” and a vicarious atonement!!
And this irrational deception has been successfully sold, swallowed, and regurgitated for more than two thousand years!

Additional interpretations of enigmatic messages on the Baker’s Tomb are outlined in depth in Chapter One of Following Philo: From Ba’al and Asherah to Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Philo’s 21 Rules for Identifying and interpreting Enigmas
The doubling of a phrase.
An apparently superfluous expression in the text.
The repetition of statements previously made.
A change of phraseology – all these phenomena point to something special that the reader must consider.
An entirely different meaning may also be found by disregarding the ordinarily accepted division of the sentence into phrases and clauses and by considering a different combination of the words.
Synonyms [and phonetically similar words] must be carefully studied.
A play upon words must be utilized for finding a deeper meaning.
A definite, allegorical [enigmatical] sense may be gathered from certain particles, adverbs, prepositions, [unclear pronoun antecedents], etc., and in certain cases it can be gathered even from …
the part of a word.
Every word must be explained in all its meanings in order that different interpretations may be found.
The skillful interpreter may make slight changes in a word, following the rabbinical rule: “Read not so, but so.” Philo, therefore, changed accents, breathings, etc., in Greek [and Hebrew] words.[1]
Any peculiarity in a phrase justifies the assumption that some special meaning is intended. Details regarding the form of words are very important.
Consider the number of the word, if it shows any peculiarity in the singular or the plural: the tense of the verb, etc.
The gender of the noun may carry a clue.
Note the presence or omission of the article;
the artificial interpretation of a single expression;
the position of the verses of a passage; [the position of words in a phrase relative to one another];
Some of these rules act primarily as yellow flags to signal an approaching enigmatic section of text that will require a stop, some thought, and possibly some research. The words most frequently employed are angel, spirit, and prophecy.
Other rules act as red flags, which are the solution or a part of the solution to the puzzle. For example, phrases that are repeated will contain a key word or words that are exactly the same. However, most of Philo’s Rules can serve both yellow-flag and red-flag functions.
[1] The assumption that Philo worked only with the Greek Septuagint is incorrect.
Biblical Hebrew is written in consonants only, no vowels, spaces, or punctuation. This provides multiple options for each string of consonants; scribes with competing agendas choose vowels, spaces, and punctuation that best support the preconceived beliefs they want to sell. For example:
Gen 1:1 opens with this string of consonants: BRSTBRLHM… rendered BaReSiT BaRa eLoHiM…, and translated, “In the beginning created God…”
Philo’s Rule 16 for identifying “enigmas”: “Note…the artificial interpretation of a single expression…” Interpreting eLoHiM as “God” is incorrect; in other words, “artificial.” The im suffix creates the plural of eLoaH, the correct Hebrew word for “God.” The consonants LHM create “Gods,” plural.
However, LHM can be correctly rendered LeHeM, “bread,” AND LHM can be correctly rendered eLa Ha eM, “Goddess the Mother” AND “Gods.” But!!! LHM can never be translated “God.” The key to the correct choice is the context or clues dropped nearby.
At Gen 35:9-11, Jacob has a life-changing meeting with LHM (bread? Gods? or Goddess the Mother?) who advises him, “‘Your name is YaaQoB; no longer shall you be called YaaQoB, but Israel shall be your name.’ So he was called Israel. LHM also said to him, ‘I am eL ShaDDaY; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come forth from you” (Gen 35:9-11).
LHM has now given a clue to the correct rendering of LHM. LHM says, “I am El ShaDDaY…” The Hebrew word shad is translated “breast.” Later, at Gen 49:25, El Shadday reappears as Jacob lies on his deathbed and blesses his son with Rachel, Joseph: “From eLoaH of your father who helps you, and by Shadday who blesses you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and the womb.”
Now, this isn’t the first time El Shadday gave a new name to an important biblical character. She had also renamed Ab-ram (translated “Father exalted”); his new name Ab RaHaM means “Father Compassion” (Gen 17:5). And She renamed Sarai (translated “princess”); her new name iSa oRaH means “Woman Light” (Gen 17:15). ISha+oRah+eL is Ishorahel, the etymology of “Israel,” Jacob’s new name and the name of his Tribe, destined to be Kings and Queens.
Gen 35:15: “Jacob named the town where LHM spoke with him BeTeL.” BeT eL is “House of EL.” Adding BT to LHM takes us to BTLHM, the string of Hebrew consonants that create the name of the “little town” from which Jesus came, BeTLeHeM. Next we look for the origin of BeTLeHeM.
Gen 35:19: “So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is BTLHM), and Jacob set up a pillar at her grave, it is the pillar of Rachel’s tomb…Israel journeyed on, and pitched his tent beyond the Migdol Eder (translated, “Watchtower of the Flock”).” Notably, only after Rachel dies is “Jacob” called “Israel.” Why?
The name “Rachel” is derived from Orak Ela, “Spirit of El and/or Ela.” Rachel was also the Spirit of Woman Light (Isha Orah). As long as she lived, Rachel was the Queen of Israel. Upon her death, Jacob assumed the role of King of Israel.
“Pillars” are prominent in Jacob’s story: “Jacob…took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar…Jacob made a vow, saying, ‘If LHM will be with me, and will keep me in the Way that I go, and will give me bread to eat … so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, then YHWH shall [not] be bread, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be LHM’s house…” (Gen 28:18-22).
Note 1: The Hebrew word translated “The Way” is DRK; rendered aDa OraK, it means “adorned Spirit” and refers to Orak eL, Rachel.
Note 2: The Hebrew consonant L can be rendered eL (“to”), aL (“not”), and/or Li (“my”). It appears in the verses quoted above following YHWH. Judean scribes chose iL (“my”), but Isha Orah’s scribes chose aL (“not”). So, Jacob rejects YHWH in favor of LHM, the Father-Mother God and Goddess, Eloah and Ela Ha Em.
BeTLeHeM did not exist until Rachel died giving birth to her second son whom she named “son of my sorrow.”
BTLHM can also be rendered BeTuLaH eM, “Virgin Mother.” Rachel was a virgin until King Eloah appeared: “Then LHM remembered Rachel, and Eloah heard and opened her womb. She conceived and bore a son…” (Gen 30:22). Rachel gave birth to “Joseph the Nazar.”
Equally important, BTLHM can be rendered BaT eLa Ha eM, translated “Daughter of Goddess the Mother.” Goddess the Mother appears in the very first scene in the Old Testament.
“Goddess” was not a superhuman being. She was the imagined perfect woman with feminine traits: Compassion, Wisdom, Nurturing Love. She was a modifying balance to support and enhance “God’s” ideal masculine traits: Physical Strength, Forcefulness, Aggression. Israelite Kings and Queens, representatives of the balanced Ideal, were called
“Father El” and “Ela the Mother.”
In Old Testament myths, “YaHWeH’s” patriarchal, misogynistic YaHudean Kings waged an ongoing war against Israel’s Kings and Queens. Without the modifying balance of a “Goddess-Queen,” King YaHWeH’s strength, forcefulness, and aggression erupted in acts of violence against children, women and men.
Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson can be aptly labeled “Christian Heretics.” They admired and praised “Jesus” but rejected Orthodox Christian doctrines. Paine wrote, “I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of.” Regarding the bible, he mused, “…it would be more consistent that we call it the word of a demon than the word of God.”
Jefferson held special disdain for Paul, writing, “…Paul was the great Coryphaeus, and first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus. These palpable interpolations and falsifications of his doctrines led me to try to sift them apart.”–Thomas Jefferson to William Short, Monticello, 13 April 1820.
Both, of course, rejected the nonsensical doctrine of vicarious atonement.
However, these Founding Fathers are just two in a long line that stretches back to the First Christian Heretic, Philo of Alexandria (circa 10 BCE to 74 CE). And it is Philo the Heretic who holds the key to solving the mystery of the historical Jesus: Was he Man, Myth, or like Christopher Reeve and Superman, both?
Philo, in “Every Good Man is Free,” alludes to a unique feature of the Biblical Hebrew used by the authors of the Tanakh: {Tanakh, also known as the Old Testament, is a collection of popular legends that were compiled, edited, and expanded during the Babylonian Captivity. At least two generations of Judean priests and scribes were confined and controlled by Cyrus the Great and his descendants. When Ezra returned to Jerusalem circa 458 BCE, he delivered the first known Tanakh. One shared text carried two very different messages, one for the uneducated, the other for the initiated. This was most likely King cyrus’ effort to peacefully unite two perpetually warring tribes.}
The Tanakh is written in consonants only, all caps. Vowels, spaces, and punctuation are determined by scribes, and they have more than one choice:
“Then one [Essene] takes up the holy volume [Tanakh] and reads it, and another of the men of the greatest experience comes forward and explains what is not very intelligible, for a great many precepts are delivered in enigmatical modes of expression, and allegorically, as the old fashion was.”
Here”s an example of what Philo’s words reveal: Gen 1:1 opens with this string of consonants: BRSTBRLHM. Judean scribes add vowels and spaces that result in BaReSiT BaRa Elohim, translated word-for-word, “In the Beginning created God…” Philo and the Essenes were aware, however, that this translation is incorrect. LHM, rendered Elohim, is the plural of Eloah, “God.” When translated correctly, Elohim is “Gods.”
What Philo and the Essenes knew that we haven’t known is that LHM can be correctly rendered, eLa Ha eM, Hebrew words translated “Goddess the Mother.” She is introduced in the opening words of Genesis where, using all the same consonants in the same order, BRSTBRLHM, Essenes “…of the greatest experience…” find other equally valid words:
BaR iS, eT aB oR, eLa Ha eM, “Son of Man, Father Light, Goddess the Mother.” She, as LHM, is found throughout the Tanakh. This was the Essene-Nazarene Holy Trinity, borrowed by the Church Fathers but corrupted to eliminate equal respect for feminine attributes. A Goddess might suggest that women are as valuable as men, God forbid!
Judean priests did not agree that the Tanakh could be translated in more than one way, and the Early Church Fathers agreed. Irenaeus of Smyrna (circa 130 to circa 200 CE) defined and codified Orthodox Christianity. And, he exposed what he considered to be heresies, especially the Nazarene Heresy.
His signature work, “On the Detection and Overthrow of the So-Called Gnosis,” is better known as “Adversus Haereses.” He attacks his opponents as blasphemers – not just people with different opinions, but Heretics. Irenaeus is critical and dismissive and describes a particular opponent’s teachings as “farce” and “falsehood,” as he denigrates it:
“…collecting a set of expressions and names scattered here and there, they twist them … from a natural sense [his version] to a non-natural sense [Essene version].”
Philo knew of this method, adopted it, and shared it; furthermore, Philo venerates it:
“I admire the Lover of Wisdom…collecting and thinking it fit to weave together many things, though different, and proceeding from different sources, into the same web…he has put together in one most admirably arranged work, combining great learning of one kind with great learning of another kind.”
Philo devised a method for identifying and solving enigmas in scripture, both Old and New Testaments; it consists of twenty-one “rules.” I am an avowed heretic who fell in love with Philo, so I decided to test Philo’s rules. What I found in the Old Testament destroys the foundation on which Orhtodox Christianity was built:
Yahweh (translated LORD, all caps) is the name that Judean Kings co-opted from their invented deity of the same name. These Kings, like their imagined deity, were authoritative and misogynistic and used threats and violence to control the members of their tribes, the Judeans. Instilling fear through violence was their method of controlling and exploiting people. Old Testament stories about YHWH are about the Kings, not the deity.
Eloah and eLa Ha eM are the names that Israelite Kings and Queens co-opted from their invented deities of the same names, aBa eL and eLa Ha eM, “Father God and Goddess the Mother.” The Essene-Nazarenes were a small remnant of the Israelite tribe after it split in two. A magic trick on Mt. Carmel, a chemical that ignited wood when water was poured on it, convinced most of the Israelites to abandon Father-Mother (Ba’al-Asherah) and follow YHWH (1 Kings 18:20-40).
Like their imagined deities, these Kings and Queens viewed members of their tribes as innocent children. Love and compassion were their methd of encouraging, educating, and persuading people to emulate these qualities. Jesus knew Father-Mother well; he called to them before and during the Crucfixion, “Abba, Abba” (Mk 14:36); “Ela, Ela” (Mk 15:34).
The first-century Julio-Claudians ruled a vast, prosperous Roman Empire; however, one religious sect remained hostile and combative. The Judeans would never abandon YHWH in favor of any Roman God and Goddess. So, a wise Julio-Claudian devised a plan. YHWH and Zeus became “YH-Zeus the Nazarene,” which evolved into “Jesus.” His father was “Joseph,” a descendant of “Joseph the Nazar,” introduced at Gen 49:26 where he is “blessed” by a deity “with breasts and womb.”
Oh, but wait! “Jesus” wasn’t called “The Nazarene” because his ancestor was “Joseph the Nazar.” Jesus was called “The Nazarene” because he came from Nazareth (Mt 2:23). Or is this an interpolation devised to separate “Jesus the Nazarene” from “Joseph the Nazar”? Why would anyone want to do that?!
Let’s take a closer look. Joseph the Nazar’s mother was Rachel, derived from oRaK eLa, “Spirit of Goddess.” Rachel “died” in the place named BTLHM, (Gen 35:19). The Judean translation of BTLHM is BeT LeHeM (“house of bread”); the Essene translation is BeTuLaH eM, “Virgin Mother” and BaT eLa Ha eM, “Daughter, Goddess the Mother.” The enigma in BTLHM reveals that Rachel “died” in order to become “Daughter, Goddess the Mother,” aka, “Virgin Mother.”
As LHM, She is later found with Joseph the Nazar, born a Prince but held in slavery at Pharaoh’s court in Egypt. Pharaoh has worrisome dreams that no one can interpret. He turns to Joseph and Joseph turns to LHM. She helps him interpret Pharaoh’s dreams as a warning of a coming drought. Her wigHer wisdom, transmitted to Pharaoh by her son, leads Pharaoh to store some of the grain produced in years of rain to feed people during years of drought. Grateful, Pharaoh sets them free and makes Joseph the Vizier over Egypt. The freeing of Joseph and LHM was Joseph’s Triumph at the Court of the Pharaoh (Gen 41:1-45).
The first crucifixion in the Bible (Gen 40:19-22) was carried out right here in Pharaoh’s court two years before Joseph’s Triumph. The “Chief Baker” had done something to anger Pharaoh (we aren’t told what). The climax of the Judean version of the first crucifixion is,
We eT SaR Ha oPiM TaLaH KaSaR PaTaR LHM YSP.
“…but the chief baker he impaled, just as Joseph had interpreted to them.”
The Essene-Nazarene version using the same consonants but with different vowels and spaces reveals something else:
We eT iSha oRaH oPiM eT eLaH, KiSaR PeTer eLa Ha eM, YoSeP.
“But the Woman of Light, ‘Baker,’ is Elah, Kisar’s firstling, Ela the Mother of Joseph.”
{“Kisar” is the Sumerian-Babylonian “First Mother.” Ki means “Earth, ” Sar means “princess.” Kisar is a candidate for the etymology of Rome’s “Caesar” and Germany’s “Kaisar.”}
Some time around 41 CE, concurrent with Claudius becoming Rome’s Emperor, a Julio-Claudian commissioned two cameos. The first can be dated by the child in the middle row, left side, identified as future Emperor Nero, born in 37 CE. He appears to be about four or five years old.
This cameo was among three dozen or so artifacts purchased by Louis IX from Baldwin II, Latin emperor at Constantinople. They are listed in documents as “Relics of Christ.” In fact, the Sainte-Chappel (“Holy Chapel”) was built to house Louis IX’s collection of Relics of Christ. These Relics of Christ arrived in Paris in August 1239. When no one could figure out why the cameo was called “Triumph of Joseph at the Court of the Pharaoh,” the name was changed to “Great Cameo of France.” Apparently, “Relics of Christ” didn’t ring any bells. Or maybe it did.
The Cameo depicts four generations of Julio-Claudians. In the heavens (left to right): Mark Antony holding the Shield of Mars; Emperor Augustus holding the Spear of Mars; Cleopatra holding the Orb of Ra; Julius Caesar riding Pegasus.
Middle row, left to right: Julia Minor (holding Nero); Germanicus and wife Agrippina Major; Emperor Tiberius and Empress Livia; Claudius and wife Agrippina Minor. Sitting with head bowed in shame is the “assassinated” Emperor, “Caligula.”
The cameo supports what Philo reveals elsewhere: stories of assassinations and early deaths among this Royal Dynasty, posing as Gods and Goddesses, may not be literally true. Like Rachel, Caligula “died,” but he emergd as another personality who became quite prominent in his own right. Here’s a clue: Caligula was raised by his aunt Agrippina and uncle Germanicus (also “deceased” before the cameo was created). In his new role, Caligula assumed the name of his biological father, “Lucius Aemilius Paullus.”
The bottom row is most intriguing. Here we find the secret identities of the Julio-Claudians, the mythological characters they portrayed in annual festivals that celebrated “Gods and Goddesses.” Depicted underground are Jesus the Nazarene, Mary the Magdalene, Joseph the Nazar, Mother Mary and Baby Jesus.
Evidence hidden in the Essene-Nazarene rendering of Old Testament legends reveals that the original first-century Crucifixion was a dramatization of Joseph’s Triumph at the Court of the Pharaoh, the freeing of Goddess Mother and her Son. The moral message in these stories of a freedman and a freedwoman is that no one should ever be enslaved because everyone has unknown royal ancestors. All are created equal in spite of outward appearances or circumstances. Didn’t “Jesus” suggest the same?
The Julio-Claudian Crucifixion Myth must have gone something like this:
Judean Kings believed a woman who claimed to be a Goddess was a heretic; therefore, Goddess the Mother is sentenced to be crucified. YH-Zeus loves his Mother and values her so much that he offers his life in place of hers; YH-Zeus is strapped to the cross while eLa Ha eM and BaT eLa Ha eM mourn and pray at his feet. Fortunately, Mother knows the healing properties of herbs and spices; she concocts an elixir which she and Mary Magdalene take to the tomb. The three emerge victorious over death. Goddess the Mother and her Son YH-Zeus are more powerful than YHWH alone. Praise Goddess!
Oh, but not so fast! The patriarchal Judean priests refused to accept the Goddess, and some Judeans were too fearful of YHWH to accept Mother and Son. So for them, YH-Zeus was turned into the popular Scapegoat, and the Judean Crucifixion Myth became a vicarious atonement. Tolerance was the key to success as the newly fabricated deities offered something for everyone. The golden Age of Rome and the New Jerusalem were ushered in side-by-side.
Unfortunately, this relative peace lasted less than three hundred years – until the conversion of Emperor Constantine and the convening of the Council of Nicea in 325. Prior to this time, Roman Emperors allowed both versions of YH-Zeus to coexist. However, a few decades after that contentious and fateful Council, Emperors, Popes and Bishops resolved to prohibit all religions except their Nicene approved version of Christianity. Tolerance of other religions ceased to exist, leading to the unspeakable slaughter in the name of competing concepts of God and Gods, all imagined into existence by mortal men.
Bishop Epiphanius of Salamis (circa 315 to circa 403) composed the Panarion, a compilation of all the heresies known to him. His quotations are the only surviving fragments of many suppressed and destroyed texts; for this we owe him a debt of gratitude. Perhaps this offsets some of the damage he caused by adding support ot Irenaeus’ lies about why Jesus is called “The Nazarene.”
Epiphanius’ contemporaries, the equally intolerant Emperors Theodosius and his son Honorius, set about to destroy all evidence of all religions except their Nicene-Christianity. Temples to Gods and Goddesses throughout the Roman Empire were destroyed; heretics who refused to convert were tried, convicted, tortured, and executed.
One of the most notable destructions was the Baker’s Tomb on the east side of Rome. For some reason, perhaps superstition, rather than tearing it down, as they did other temples and monuments, Honorius buried the Tomb and Claudius’ Porta Maggiore under a massive structure which he also named Porta Maggiore. No one would ever have a reason to question the fate of Claudius’ Porta Maggiore. The Porta Maggiore remained, but in name only.
Honorius’ Porta Maggiore Vasi Plate No. 7 [2]
Giuseppe Vasi preserved an image of Honorius’ Porta Maggiore as it appeared circa 1748. Plate No. 7 is one of several plates described as “Vasi’s Roman views.” These plates were the photographs of that era.
The second cameo commissioned circa 41 CE depicts the man and woman (left) who played the roles of “Jesus and Mary Magdalene.” Yes! We have images! and busts!
The couple on the right is their daughter and their son-in-law, Emperor Claudius (the men were also half brothers.).
Gemma Claudio Cameo [3] Commissioned circa 41 CE
The historical couple called “YH-Zeus and Mary Magdalene” died in 74 CE. At the time of their deaths, he was known as Polemon and she was Atonia Caenis, Emperor Vespasian’s powerful freedwoman and co-ruler. Caenis is the name of a Greek Goddess whom the God Poseidon transformed into a man. Their remains were placed in the Baker’s Tomb, correctly identified as a monument to honor The Baker. However, rather than a freed-man and his wife, they are a freed-woman and her husband. And in spite of evidence that contradicts the claim, the Baker’s Tomb is often dated to the first century BCE. {Two sources challenge the first century BCE dating preferred by the Church: (1) John Henry Parker, The Archaeology of Rome, Part IX, “Tombs in and Near Rome” (Oxford: James Parker and Co; London: John Murray, Albemarle Street, 1877), 34-5. (2) Second century historian Pliny the Younger wrote letters that describe a monument to claudius’ freedman Pallas that was constructed on the east side of Rome, the exact location of the Baker’s Tomb (Loeb, VII. 29 and VI to Montanus, n.d. LCL 59:12-13).}
In 1838, twenty-two years before the American Civil War, Pope Gregory XVI, the anti-slavery Pope, ordered that Honorius’ massive structure be dismantled. After nearly fourteen hundred years, the heavily-damaged Baker’s Tomb and Claudius’ Porta Maggiore were exposed to the light once again.
In 1839, the year after uncovering the long-buried tomb of former slaves, Pope Gregory XVI gave pro-slavery churches an unsolicited gift: tens of thousands of new members. He wrote an apostolic letter forbidding Catholics to participate in the Atlantic Slave Trade: “We warn and adjure earnestly in the Lord faithful Christians of every condition that no one in the future dare to … reduce to servitude, or lend aid and favor to those who give themselves up to these practices, or exercise that inhuman traffic by which the Blacks, as if they were not men but rather animals, having been brought into servitude, in no matter what way, are, without any distinction, in contempt of the rights of justice and humanity…”
Claudius’ powerful freedman Antonius Pallas and Vespasian’s powerful freedwoman Antonia Caenis were/was one and the same person. She is better known as Philo of Alexandria, the “First Christian Heretic” and the creator of the keys to finding Her Story.
Claudius’ Porta Maggiore
Pope Gregory knew, as all Popes have known, that the remains placed in the Baker’s Tomb were the historical couple called “Jesus and Mary Magdalene.” And they also know that the Julio-Claudian Crucifixion Myth predates their own. Now who are the true heretics?
