10: The Messiah Projects: Jesus, Son of Mary

Let's get back to Jacob now and look further into his wrestling match. 'Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man.' Notice the term MAN. A human being just like you. Now consider that very carefully, as Jacob tells you who this man was. '..for I have seen God face to face.' I don't think that needs any further comment, do you? I know this is getting pretty heavy, so let me lighten it up a bit. Look at this part, 'Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.' The only reason "God" won, was because he touched Jacob in the 'sinew that shrank.' Do you know what that "sinew that shrank" is? Mmm-hmm. You have it. That's why he called the place "Penial." Ouch. This "God," with all his awesome power, the supreme everything, kicked old Jacob right in the family jewels. And you thought God didn't have a sense of humor! Jacob didn't find it too funny, though. Okay. That's enough humor for now. We have a lot of serious study ahead. I wanted to lighten it up, because there is some very heavy stuff ahead, my friends.

We need to leave Jacob now and pick up the story with one of his sons, his favorite son, Joseph:

Genesis (37) 3: 'Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.'

Joseph was the son of Jacob and Rachel. The many-colored coat he was given, is a clue to his nature. Multi-colored robes were the vestments worn by the male priests of the Goddess Nan-She (Babylonian name). These priests would be lowered into a pit in the Earth. The pit represented a symbolic womb of the Goddess. Once in this womb, the priests would divine and interpret dreams. Now that you know this, let's look at the story of Joseph.

Joseph had offended his brothers by dreaming two dreams. In them, he was given power over them and ruled them. They became very angry and plotted against him as this verse shows:

Genesis (?) 23: 'And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; 24: And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 25: And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26: And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27: Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content 28: Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.'

Joseph, as you can see, was a priest. He was placed in his diviner's "pit" by his brothers. Joseph gets taken to Egypt, and his skill as a diviner is quickly recognized. Joseph is not the poor defenseless, little shepherd boy you have been taught to imagine. He was a powerful and accomplished priest. Later he will become the sacred diviner to Pharaoh himself. (Note: Some have speculated that the Pharaoh Djoser was in reality, Joseph) The real importance of Joseph in Egypt however, is the marriage which took place there. Here are the verses.

Genesis (41) 41: 'And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. 42: And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 43: And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 44: And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. 45: And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.'

This is what we call a milestone in the history of the Hebrews. Past this point, my friends, there is no turning back. While Abram is the father of the two sister peoples of Israel and Ishmael, Joseph is the gatherer of the scattered tribes in Egypt, where they will soon become one people - the Hebrews. It is Joseph's marriage that sets the stage for all that is to come. Why is this marriage so important? Let's find out together right now. Joseph is married to a priest's daughter. Her name is Asenath. Now ask yourself this. Would Pharaoh give Joseph just any old priest's daughter to wed? Try this one ON for size. The woman, Asenath, was the High priestess of the Temple of ON. She was one of the most powerful women in Egypt. So, who is this 'ON' character they're making such a fuss over?

On is the Hebrew word for ONE. There are a couple of Gods and Goddesses that have been called the 'ONE.' The 'ONE' we are concerned with however, is by far the most significant. She was the DOMA female in charge of the Hebrew sub-project. Her name is Isis, the ONE. (Note: Please don't confuse this with the God-ONE we have discussed earlier, they are not the same.) The Goddess Isis; the Queen of Heaven; the Star; Stella Maris; the One. She had many symbols associated with her worship: the star, the crescent moon, and in particular the fish of Isis, or in Hebrew "NUN.' Her sacred number was thirteen. She and her twin sister Hathor were the two of the most powerful Goddesses in ancient history. She was called The Eye of Ra, in her destroyer role.

Now here's a little something you probably don't realize. Take out a US one-dollar bill. There's good old George Washington himself. Now turn it over and look on the back. You will see the Great Seal of The United States. Above the Egyptian pyramid is the Eye Of Ra. This is the symbol for Isis/Hathor. Just a coincidence? Look over the eagle's head. There are thirteen stars. And the inscription, 'E. Plurubus Unum'? It means 'out of many, ONE.' 'Annuit Septis,' means 'the divine one has smiled on our undertaking.' All these Isis symbols on the American ONE-dollar bill, and what does it have to do with Joseph? Nothing. I just wanted to give you a glimpse of Way, down the road a Ways, you might say. America will be the topic of a very important Way message in the not-too-distant future.

So, these are all symbols of the Goddess. The fish or NUN is particularly interesting. It ties in directly with Joseph, and as you will see later, with Jesus as well. Joseph was a priest of the Goddess. These priests would carry a jar with a fish inside. The fish symbol was associated with both them and the Goddess. Today, we call that symbol Pisces, but back then, it was simply the 'Fish of Isis.' Store this fact deep in your mind for future retrieval. Now Joseph, who was already a priest of the Goddess, marries a high priestess of Isis. He then begins to gather in the various scattered tribes. What was the reason for this gathering? The main purpose was to build a united people from the various peoples, but it was also to bring them under the control of the DOMA's most powerful instrument on Earth - the priestesses of Isis. But how did the DOMA accomplish the task of bringing these people into Egypt?

Genesis (?) 54: 'And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55: And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. 56: And the famine was over all the face of the Earth: and Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. 57: And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.'

I don't believe this needs any further explanation.

Genesis (46) 1: 'And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. 2: And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I. 3: And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation.'

And that's exactly what the DOMA did. Before we leave Joseph, there is one more set of verses we should look at. And look at, very carefully.

Genesis (46) 31: 'And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; 32: And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. 33: And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? 34: That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.'

Now, notice something very strange here. Joseph tells Pharaoh the men are shepherds. Yet at the very end, he instructs them to say they are 'cattle shepherds,' specifically. He then says that the Egyptians hate shepherds. Why? They like cattle shepherds, but not the other shepherds? What other type of shepherds? This line has nothing to do with Joseph or anything else holy. It was deliberately inserted by later church writers, by order of their superiors. Why? What don't they want you to know? They want you to think that the Egyptians hated the other kind of shepherds, the shepherds of sheep. Now what, you may ask, could sheep ever do that would endanger your belief in God? Sheep are nothing docile little creatures.

What the early church fathers are doing here (Note: 'early church fathers' includes both Hebrew and later, Roman Catholic) is preventing an association that could, if revealed, damage your entire belief system. What? Over a bunch of sheep? No, my friends, over the people whose use of the sacrificial lamb was an integral part of their religion. The priestesses of Isis who, during the sacrifice ritual of killing a young male lamb and then spreading the lamb's blood over the alter and door lintel, would call upon Isis by her other name as The Great Shepherdess. The patron Goddess of the Shepherds, their Star. Friends, the above information is not theological dynamite. It is a thermonuclear weapon. You are looking at a deliberate act of concealment. Remember the above information, as it will be just as they feared later on - totally devastating.

Thus the Hebrew nation was conceived, but it was not yet born. For that milestone in Hebrew history we need to jump ahead to the house of a Hebrew slave, and a very distraught Hebrew mother. (Note: you may want to read chapter 1 of Exodus. All midwives were priestesses of the birth goddess Hathor\Hekat.)

Exodus (2) 1: 'And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. 2: And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3: And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink. 4: And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. 5: And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. 6: And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children. 7: Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 8: And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 9: And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it. 10: And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.'

Now isn't that a beautiful story? There's only one small problem with it. It never happened. What? Are you crazy? I can hear you now, "come on didn't you ever watch the Ten Commandments?" Yes, I have, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. But, like it or not, Moses, and much of his story, is made up. I know you are going to have a problem with this, so I'm going to take it real slow and from the beginning. The later church fathers, specifically the Hebrews this time, needed a history for their people. This is why in Genesis, you find all those former stories and legends, already written, but then taken by the Hebrews, modified and made their own (remember since they are many people in one, it is in fact their history). So now, you might expect me to say the story of Moses was borrowed from some earlier people's legend and incorporated into Hebrew history, right? WRONG! The story of the Exodus of the Hebrew peoples did in fact, occur. It is the story of Moses that was made up.

By now you must be thoroughly confused, which is, by the way , just what the church fathers wanted you to be, should you ever try to figure this out. Why, you should ask, would they need to make up an imaginary person like Moses, if as you even said, Exodus did take place. The answer is really very simple. The actual person that led the Hebrews out of Egypt was totally unacceptable from a theological standpoint, to the early patriarchal Hebrew writers of the Bible. 'That's nice,' you say, 'but once more in English, if you please.' OK. The person who led the Hebrews out of Egypt was a WOMAN, not a man. Wow. That's the second time we've gone nuclear, and we're only in the second chapter. What? You want me to prove it? OK, OK. Calm down. If it's facts you want, it's facts you'll get. But before I begin, take a moment to think of the irony in this whole affair.

For the first time, the Hebrews have a bona fide piece of a major historical event, not somebody else's, but their very own, yet they can't even use it. If I may though, let me get very serious for a moment. This is just one example of the suppression, by early patriarchal writers, of the major role women have had in mankind's evolvement. It is a brutal act of censorship, with but one goal in mind. The demoting of all women to the status of second-class citizens, not just in a male-to-female relationship, but more importantly, in relationship to God. It is inexcusable and heinous. This is the main purpose I have, in writing the Way messages. To expose to all of you, the terrible acts of oppression these men have forced on women, in the name of their Male God. It is my mission; it is my Ladies' wish; it is my Jihad, if you will. And I have just declared it, on all those who would oppress the daughters of the most high, the daughters of Earth, whose sisters on high are truly a force to be reckoned with.

Now here are the facts about Moses.

Fact: The baby in the reed story was borrowed from the birth story of Sargon of Akkad, circa 2242-2186 BC, whose mother, the temple maiden Enitum, set him afloat in a basket made of bulrushes. Sargon was rescued by the Queen's midwife Akki. He was raised by the royal daughters and later became King of Akkad.

Fact: The Egyptians never used Hebrew slaves to build their temples. No one but Egyptians were permitted to work the holy tasks, as any foreign involvement would have defiled the temple.

Fact: Contemporary archeologists can find campsites of ancient Bedouin nomads. Some where only twenty or so camped for a couple of months. There is no evidence at all that anywhere from three hundred thousand to a half million people, set up camp. Especially for forty years.

Fact: There is no record of a male prince named Moses in the royal family of Egypt. There is mention of Pharaohs with the word Moses attached to their names. Moses is not a Hebrew word, it is Egyptian. It has two meanings depending on the context it is being used in. The first is in a proper name, such as Thutmose, or Atmoses. It means, "unfathered son of a princess.' In its second, more ethereal, use it can mean, "birth.'

Fact: There is no record in any other kingdom that mentions a half-million Hebrews walking by.

Fact: There is a legitimate record of certain Hebrews being driven out of Egypt by the Egyptian army. This was a result of a leprosy outbreak in the outer slum areas of some cities. This is not however, the Exodus.

Those are the facts, my friends. Based on this, you might think that the Exodus never happened. And yet, the Exodus of the Hebrew people did, in fact, take place as I said earlier. Now please, understand what I am trying to say here. I don't want any chance of being misunderstood.

I am not trying to disprove the validity of the Exodus.

On the contrary, I intend to prove its reality.

The Jewish people take pride in their history and religious traditions. I will not, in any way, demean or try to disprove, those traditions. I will, however, try to prove to those who may not believe in their reality that, indeed they are based in fact, and on actual historical events. The story of Moses is full of clues as to what really happened. In fact, if the character of Moses is removed, it makes perfect sense and fits with established history.

One last point about Moses. The historian Tacitus wrote about the expulsion of certain foreigners from Egypt because of leprosy. They were gathered together, driven into the desert and left there. Later they found water, took over some land, built a city/temple. They were led by a man named Moyses. Again, although this story may have influenced the early writers, it is not the true Exodus, or the birth of the Hebrew people. Their tale is much grander, and more profound than any have ever realized. There is however, one more problem with the story.

Regarding the amount of people who supposedly left, I can say this without much fear of ridicule from archaeologists and historians. There is no record of up to one quarter of Egypt's population leaving the country. If that large a number were to leave, it would have been major news all over the world, and moreso in the region. It would have meant a fundamental shift in the internal structure of Egypt, and a change in the region's power structure. You can bet Egypt's enemies would have recorded this level of loss to Egyptian forces and manpower.

So what really happened? You have to remember here, that the Hebrews really were in Egypt and what their status was. Early writers had to have an excuse why the people wanted to leave. They have blamed this on the terrible slave conditions which they were forced to endure. Therefore, they wrote that all Hebrews were enslaved. That there were Hebrew slaves, may well be true, but to a much smaller degree. Remember that Joseph brought many people into Egypt. He bought up much of their land. But try to remember who Joseph married. The High priestess of ON. His family would have continued in this position and status level. His daughters would have been made High Priestesses, of Isis, and their brothers Priests, also. The Hebrews then, that we are concerned with, the actual participants in the Exodus, were not slaves, but rather nobility, whose status was just below that of Pharaoh himself.

Isis was one of the most powerful of Egyptian Goddesses. She gave the Pharaoh his divine right to rule. The symbol she wears on her head is called the MU AT, "The Foundation of the Throne.' The Egyptian Pharaohs power relied on very strict adherence to certain religious beliefs and tradition. Religion was part of the very fabric of Egyptian society. Earth civilizations today have no equivalent of this, thereby making it almost impossible to imagine. Their religion was Egypt. Pharaoh was the link between them and their Gods. He was a man-made God, given authority by the Goddess Isis. The priests and priestesses of Isis were then vital to the maintenance of order.

Now, do you remember who has control of this entire Isis order? Joseph and his descendants, the Hebrews. Now that you realize this, let's look at the story of Moses. Some of its parts that have seemed totally inscrutable, should now become plain as day. First, I need to give you a brief synopsis of the true Exodus. According to established Egyptian history, you atheists who say it never happened, are dead wrong on this one. The official Egyptian history records that Isis/Hathor had a very bad argument with her father Ra, over her right to call some of the Egyptian and Hebrew people hers. (Translation: there was a turf war between the priestesses of Isis and the priests of the other Egyptian Gods.) Isis then took all her priestesses, priests, their families, their servants and slaves, and left Egypt for FORTY YEARS. Her main temple, or headquarters, was moved from Philae to the city of Hazor. This is recorded history, it actually happened. And there is more than enough Bible correlation as you are about to see.

If Moses was a male figure invented to take over the historical role of a woman, who was the actual woman he replaced? The High Priestess of Isis, direct descendent of Joseph, a Hebrew called Miriam. Miriam is the Hebrew name for Mara, or Isis, remember? The writer didn't take her out of the action, nor did they remove her brother Aaron. They simply invented a second brother, one of equal political and religious power (this would be necessary to accomplish the Exodus) and took all that Miriam had done, and rewrote it so it was actually he that did them. Voila - Moses. Let's look at what really happened.

The first thing the writers needed to do was to find a way to include Aaron. He did take part in the Exodus and since he was a man, it wasn't necessary to change his character. They were clever. Look at this verse again: 'And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.' Now this maid knew exactly who the mother was, and therefore, this mother's other children could later be found and brought into the picture, Aaron in particular. In reality, this didn't happen. It was just to identify the parents of Aaron. The big mistake here is that the maiden knew already who the mother was. Why? The writers even though they changed it, still felt guilty at having to change the story. So what they did, was try to keep as much of the original characters as they could.

With this in mind, let's identify this maiden, and see how she knew who the mother was.
