FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
Testament prophecy. It is believed that the Last Supper was actually a
meeting to plan a way for Jesus to cheat death.Dr. Hugh J. Schonfield, in his book The Passover Plot (1965), theorized
that the vinegar-soaked sponge given to Jesus during the crucifixion,
actually contained a drug that made Jesus appear as though He were
dead, when he really wasn’t. This insured the prophetic fulfillment that
his legs would not be broken (which was done to bring death quicker).
Joseph of Arimathea (a member of the Sanhedrin) then went to Pilate
to ask for permission to claim the body, so that it could be interred in a
tomb owned by Joseph. Pilate sent a centurion to confirm that Jesus
was dead. When Joseph asked for the body, he referred to it as
‘soma,’ (living); while Pilate referred to the body as ‘ptoma’ (dead).To substantiate these facts, it is pointed out that the place of the
crucifixion had to be near the tomb. While the other gospels state that
He was crucified at Golgotha, “the place of the skull,” John 19:41 says
that he was crucified in a garden, where a new sepulcher had been
hewn by Joseph. This garden was actually ‘Golgeth,’ the ‘wheel press,’
where olives were pressed into oil, which was the Garden of
Gethsemane. Some have even theorized that Joseph was actually the
former husband of Mary, who had left Nazareth, and established
himself at Jerusalem. After the story about Jesus in the Temple,
Joseph is not mentioned again. The ‘angels’ seen at the tomb were
said to be Essene physicians who were sent to revive Jesus, thus
creating the illusion of a resurrection.The apocryphal Gospel of Peter, discovered in an upper Nile valley in
1886, had existed as early as 180 AD, and reveals that Joseph of
Arimathea was a friend of Pontius Pilate, and that Jesus was buried in
the “garden of Joseph.” Basilides, an Alexandrian scholar, who wrote
various commentaries on the Gospels between 120 and 130 AD,
believed that Jesus did not die on the cross. In December, 1945, an
Egyptian peasant discovered a pot near the village of Nag Hammadi in
northern Egypt, which contained 13 scrolls, which consisted of copies
of Biblical texts, which dated to about 400 AD, and were based on
writings that were no older than 150 AD, and provides a good historical
reference because they were not altered by the Roman Catholic
Church.
