FINAL WARNING: The Curtain Falls
He returned to Egypt where he appeared before the Essene
brotherhood, where he passed 7 tests, after which he was proclaimed
the Christ. In a meeting before the 7 ‘Sages’ Issa said:“The history of life is well condensed in these immortal
postulates: ‘There are seven hills on which the holy city shall be
built; there are seven sure foundation stones on which the
universal church shall stand.’ The words I speak are not my own;
they are the words of him whose will I do.”“And from men of low estate I will select twelve men, who
represent twelve immortal thoughts, and these will be the model
of the church. And when a better age shall come, the universal
church will stand upon the seven postulates. And in the name of
God, our Father God, the kingdom of the soul shall be established
on the seven hills. And all the peoples, tribes, and tongues of the
earth shall enter in. The prince of peace will take his seat upon
the throne of power; the triune God will then be All in All.”He returned to Palestine when he was 29 years old, and the remainder
of the narrative pretty much parallels the New Testament, except that
the Jewish priests and elders are portrayed as supporting him, and
Pilate is the one working behind the scenes to bring about his death.
The text then ends with the persecution of his followers, and the
disciples being sent forth to preach.According to tradition, Issa died when he was 125 years old.In 367, Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria made a list of writings which
were to become what we now know as the New Testament. His
selections were ratified by the Church Council of Hippo in 393, and
again four years later, by the Council of Carthage. Therefore certain
‘books’ were left out, and were ‘lost’ even though some may have been
historically accurate. One of the primary duties of the Church fathers
between the 7th and 12th centuries was to obtain manuscripts from
collections in Eastern countries, which contained information that
differed from the version accepted and taught by the Church. These
original documents may still be in the Vatican archives.
