THE ROSETTA STONE AND THE RESTORATION OF THE LOST LANGUAGE OF EGYPT & THE TRUTH ABOUT "THE CHRIST"

Egyptian hieroglyphics had been used by the Egyptians for thousands of years. However, a particularly bleak period of Egyptian history is the conquest of Egypt by Persia. The Egyptians were dominated by Persian intruders. In the Twenty-sixth Dynasty there was a revival of independence and prosperity, which was followed by the Persian conquest and the period from the Twenty-seventh Dynasty to the Thirtieth Dynasty inclusive was one of Persian domination, except for brief intervals when the Egyptians gained temporary independence. The events that changed the nature of Egypt were not the Persian conquest but rather the war between Persia (the new rulers of Egypt) and the united Greek city-states. Greece had originally been united by Philip of Macedon and then ruled effectively by Alexander the Great. Alexander defeated the Persian forces and then took his army to Egypt. There he was welcomed as a conquering hero by the Egyptians because he brought an end to Persian rule. He was made a god by the Egyptians as well as a pharaoh. He, however, had other campaigns to wage and took his army off to the Middle East and the Indus River Valley leaving a regent in charge of Egypt. After the conquest of the Persians in Asia by the Greeks, Alexander the Great took possession of Egypt and the Greek domination under his successors, the Ptolemies, lasted until Egypt became a Roman province, the country then remaining in Roman occupation until the Arab conquest.

After the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC, his empire was divided among his three most trusted and powerful generals. The throne of Egypt fell to Ptolemy I, the son of Lagus. Ptolemy took Alexander’s preserved body in a jar filled with honey back to Alexandria. Ptolemy ran Egypt like a business, strictly for profit. He was welcomed by the Egyptians as part of Alexander the Great’s family. Ptolemy then became the pharaoh, Ptolemy I. By so doing, he set the name standard for the 32nd Dynasty which turned out to be the last of Egypt’s great dynasties. All of his male successors were called Ptolemy and all of his female successors were called Cleopatra.

As we move to the end of this Greek Dynasty, there was increasing involvement with the Roman Empire. The Roman civil war between Caesar and Pompeii indirectly involved Egypt. Pompeii lost this war and turned to Egypt for shelter and young Ptolemy (several generations below Ptolemy I) had him executed and delivered to Caesar. The young Ptolemy, thinking this would ingratiate him with Caesar was totally incorrect. His sister, Cleopatra, who was vying for the throne had other ways of ingratiating herself with Caesar - they had children together. Caesar was unfortunately assassinated while visiting Rome and his empire was divided up between General Marcus Antonious and his adopted son, Octavian. Marcus Antonious was better known as Marc Antony. Marc Antony took rulership of that part of the Empire that contained Egypt and that resulted in his inheriting Cleopatra. They, too, had children. His relationship with Octavian broke down and resulted in a war which Marc Antony lost. Antony was killed and Cleopatra committed suicide. Their male children were executed and their female children were probably married off to local princes. The Egyptian dynastic system was ended and a Roman Governorship was established.

During the Ptolemic dynasty, Egyptian and Greek languages were used simultaneously. During the Roman Governorship only Latin was used and occasionally Greek. Within a hundred years the Egyptian hieroglyphics were no longer used or understood by anyone and even the Roman authors of the time suggested that hieroglyphics was not even a language. In the truest sense this is now a dead language. Thus, following the Roman invasion of Egypt in 30 B.C.E. the use of hieroglyphics began to die out with the last known writing in the fifth century AD.

Ultimately the Roman Empire fell and the Middle Ages "came about". Nevertheless, there existed a constant contact between Europe and Egypt such that hieroglyphics were consistently known by the European elite. The reason for this is that medical practices of the Middle Ages resulted in the prescription of bitumen, ground up mummies as a cure for various kinds of diseases. Thus, there was a trade in whole mummies which resulted in examples of hieroglyphics coming into Europe throughout the Dark Ages.

As a result, there were some early attempts at translation of hieroglyphics. In 1633, a Jesuit priest named Anthanasius Kircher, whose specialities were the humanities, science, language and religion translated the word ‘autocrat’ or in Greek ‘autocratur’ into German and did so by substituting ideas for the images. His translation read "the originator of all moisture and all vegetation whose creative forces is brought into this kingdom by the holy mukta" (is this a ‘bureaucrat’?)

The history of the deciphering of the Egyptian hieroglyphics during the 16th and 17th centuries took small steps toward final interpretation. Some scholars thought that the hieroglyphics were the origin of other languages. Some believed that hieroglyphics spelled nothing at all. Yet others believed that the hieroglyphics were an indication of social stratification or social significance.

This speculation would have continued had not a political event interceded. The almost constant warfare between Britain and France resulted in a major change in the understanding of hieroglyphics. The French under Napoleon Bonaparte decided that they could defeat the British by attacking Egypt and subsequently controlling the rich food supply from along the Nile.

In August of 1798, 13 French ships landed near Alexandria at Aboukir Bay in Egypt and marched inland to fight the British near Cairo. The night before the battle, Napoleon exhorted his troops on by saying something like "Soldiers, from the tops of these pyramids, forty centuries are looking down at you." The French ground forces won the conflict but the British navy, under the command of Lord Horratio Nelson, defeated the French navy. Napoleon believed that he would be in Egypt for only a few months, but he and his men were stranded there for three years with no way to return home. Napoleon had brought with him between nearly 1000 civilians including 167 of whom were scientists, technicians, mathematicians and artists who studied the art, architecture, and culture of Egypt during their "extended vacation." From 1809-1828, they published a 19-volume work called Description of Egypt. Their observations, drawings and illustrations were circulated throughout Europe and created a tremendous interest in antiquities of Egypt.

The soldiers continued to "dig in" and they reconstructed forts as most soldiers had done during previous centuries by using building stones previously used by earlier peoples. In 1799, while extending a fortress near Rosetta, a small city near Alexandria, a young French officer named Pierre-Francois Bouchard found a block of black basalt stone. It measured three feet nine inches long, two feet four and half inches wide, and eleven inches thick and it contained three distinct bands of writing. The most incomplete was the top band containing hieroglyphics, the middle band was {short description of image}an Egyptian script called Demontic script (he did not know that), and the bottom was ancient Greek (he did recognize the bottom band). This stone was called the Rosetta Stone. He took the stone to the scholars and they realized that it was a royal decree that basically stated that it was to be written in the languages used in Egypt at the time. Scholars began to focus on the Demontic script, the middle band, because it was more complete and it looked more like letters than the pictures in the upper band that were hieroglyphics. It was essentially a shorthand hieroglyphics that had evolved from an earlier shorthand version of Egyptian called Heiratic script.

Material from Egypt was continuously coming into Europe. In order to display their status, the European gentry and nobility normally had some Egyptian relics in their possession, perhaps an art object on a table or if one were quite rich, they might have an obelisk in the front yard of the estate. Material containing hieroglyphics continued to enter Europe at a reasonably accelerated rate.

The first to make any sense of the Demontic script on the Rosetta Stone was a French scholar named Silvester deSacy. Silvestre deSacy was an important and skilled French linguist. He identified the symbols which comprised the word ‘Ptolemy’ and ‘Alexander’ thus, establishing a relationship between the symbols and sounds. Johann Akerblad who history records as a Swedish diplomat, looked at the Rosetta Stone with an additional knowledge of Coptic. Coptic was the language used by the Coptic church of Egypt, an early Christian group who preserved the language which was used as early as the 4th century. Coptic was written with the Greek alphabet but utilizes seven additional symbols from the Demontic script. Akerblad’s knowledge of Coptic allowed him to identify the words for ‘love,’ ‘temple’ and ‘Greek’ thus, making it clear that the Demontic script was not only a phonetic script but it was also translatable.

The earliest translation of the Greek text on the Rosetta Stone into English was done by Reverend Stephen Weston in London in April 1802 before the Society of Antiquaries . About this time, both deSacy and Thomas Young, attempted to decipher the hieroglyphics on the Rosetta Stone. Young was successful in determining that foreign names could not be represented by symbols because symbols are based upon the words used in a given language. Thus, foreign names had to be spelled phonetically. In hieroglyphics there are groups of symbols that are separated from other symbols. These encircled inscriptions are called cartouches. Thomas Young determined that the cartouches were proper names of people who were not Egyptian like the names of Ptolemy and Alexander which in Greek were Ptolemaios and Alexandrus. He successfully deciphered 5 cartouches. His publication on this matter was far reaching.

At this point there is involvement by a young French historian and linguist named Jean-Fracois Champollion. Champollion had mastered many Eastern languages. In 1807, Champollion went to study for two years with noted French linguist Francois Antoine-Isaac Silvestre deSacy. Later in his career, Champollion had compiled a Coptic dictionary and read Thomas Young in 1819. Looking at Young’s writing on the subject of hieroglyphics, he realized that what Young had actually proven was that all of hieroglyphics were phonetic, not just those hieroglyphics that were contained within the cartouches. Utilizing hieroglyphics from an estate at Kingston Lacey in Britain, Champollion correctly identified the names of Cleopatra and Alexandrus and verified Ptolemeus which had previously been identified by Young. He published his results and continued his research. In 1822 new inscriptions from a temple at Abu Simbel on the Nile were introduced into Europe and Champollion had correctly identified the name of the pharaoh who had built the temple. That name was ‘Ramses.’ Utilizing his knowledge of Coptic he continued to successfully translate the hieroglyphics opening up an understanding of the Ancient Egyptians.

Answer for yourself: And why is this important for our studies? Simply this; had it not been for these efforts to restore the understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphics then we would not have been able to restore the true understanding of Egyptian writings along with their religious writings and without this ability then we would not have seen let alone understand the unbelievable unique parallels and similarities between the "Jesus Story" in the New Testament and the main themes of Egyptian religion as acted out in these hieroglyphics by Osiris, Isis, Horus, and others.

But it does not stop here for detailed study into the "Osiris Story" and Egyptian religion, just like the "Jesus Story", reveals that behind a story of a dying and rising godman like our Jesus and Osiris the Ancients understood the story on a much deeper metaphysical, mystical, and mythological meaning. This "Osiris Story", as well as our "Jesus Story", was never to be taken and understood as if "literal-historical"; rather it was a story built with the aid of allegory, simile, metaphor, personification, and anthropomorphic language to express the hidden Divine Truth of the Descent of the Soul into matter or the Descent of the "Karast/Christ" into matter which ultimately is the "flesh of mankind". Along with this when we read the "Osiris Story" we find these representatives of the Soul in mankind faced with every test and challenge possible to the humankind and teaching abounds in this "Osiris/Jesus" story as to how man is to allow and train his Soul to master his flesh and its propensity to fail and sin while on this plane of existence. All of this understanding of these hidden metaphysical and Spiritual Divine concepts would not be possible today without the aid of the Rosetta stone being recovered.

The pick that struck the Rosetta Stone in the soil of the Nile delta in 1796 also struck a mighty blow at historical Christianity. For it releases the voice of a long-voiceless past to refute nearly every one of Christianity's historical claims with a loud "negative". The cryptic literature of Old Egypt, sealed in silence when Christianity took its rise in the 3rd century and further silenced when Rome burned the ancient libraries of the world, was once again awakened from its long silent slumber and its voice can once again be heard today in our generation. Because of our ability to again read the Egyptian hieroglyphics then the ancient Old Egyptian literature now raises its voice out of the deep abyss of forgetfulness to proclaim the true source of every doctrine found in Christianity as Egyptian, the product and heritage of a remote past and the spiritual heritage of the "black race" of Egypt.

With the restoration of the Egyptian hieroglyphics we now have privy to the translation of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Pyramid Texts, and the Book of Thoth as they lay on the table of public awareness the irrefutable data which shows that, Christianity, far from being a first gleam of true light in the world as Rome would have us believe, Roman Christianity is but a sad, deplorable poor and crippled distortion, a deformity if you wish, of the Absolute Truths once treasured by the Ancient Spiritual Masters of Egypt. In it place Roman Christianity has given the world a monstrous, vulgar and gross false illusion and purposeful "reinterpretation" of every religious doctrine that has existed since the beginning of recorded time. The book of old Egypt unroll the sagas of wisdom which announce the inexorable truth that not a single doctrine, rite, tenet, or usage in Christianity was a new contribution to world religion, but that every article and practice of that faith which goes by the name of Roman Christianity was a disfigured copy of ancient Egyptian religion in one way or the other. Christianity today can be shown to have not registered a single advance in any line of wisdom or truth, but deplorably disfigured and purposefully misinterpreted every religious tenet of Egypt religion which it adopted beginning the the late 2nd and early 3rd century and afterwards. If you find such statements hard to believe then you need but study and see for yourself such comparisons from Comparative religions whereby you can see the similarities and later Roman dissimilarities between the religious doctrines of Egypt and 3rd century Rome. If you take my challenge then you will find, as I did, that Roman Christianity and her illegitimate daughter Protestantism and the entire body of Christian religious doctrines and dogmas based upon and associated with a "literalized" and "carnalized Jesus Christ" are nothing more than a revamped and terribly mutilated Egyptianism.

Answer for yourself: What should this tell you if you are an insightful reader? Simply, that "close" only counts in horseshoes. This should alert you to the fact that the entire Christian Bible, creation legend, descent into and exodus from Egypt, the ark and flood allegory, Israelite "history", Hebrew prophecy and poetry, New Testament Gospels, Epistles, and Revelation imagery, Messianism, Immortality of the Soul, Reincarnation, as well as "the Karst/Christ" can now all be proven to have been from the transmission of ancient Egyptian scrolls and papyri which fell into the hands of later ignorant and untaught generations which did not know neither the original true meanings of these doctrines and dogmas let alone their true origin nor their unfathomable meanings. Long after Egypt's voice, expressed through the inscribed hieroglyphics, was hushed in silence, the perpetuated relics of Hamitic (black) Wisdom, with their cryptic message utterly lost, were brought forth and presented to the world by parties of ignorant zealot of both Greece and Rome as a new body of truth. The only thing is that it was never a "new body of truth"; the only new thing about it was the pitiable exegesis that inspired and accompanied the reissuance by the Greeks and later Romans.

Only by acknowledging this fact from your personal study along with your personal adoption of these higher Egyptian religious truths can you and I ever hope as misguided Christians to rise at last back to the nobility and splendor once possessed by the Christian Gnostics of Egypt and Palestine. Judaism is the first step and from there the Christian can begin to see the Egyptian Roots to this Jewish expression of this Egyptian Spiritual Wisdom entrusted to the Jewish race while then sojourned in Egypt. It is time to return home to the cradle of all world religions and we are blessed to be able to see these truths today like not former time on this planet in the last two thousand years.

Through the chance stroke of a trench-digger's pick Christianity, as has been taught for some 1,800 years, is brought to its knees having to face its plagiarism and "reinterpretation" of Divine Concepts held sacred by mankind since the beginning of recorded history. The heathen parentage that it strove so desperately to deny and the marks of which is so sedulously endeavored to obliterate in the early centuries now rise from the dead past to charge the whole of Christianity with deceit, guile, duplicity and deception.

Truly the Rosetta Stone has exposed the lie and revealed the truth about "the Christ" like never before since it is again possible to read and understand this Egyptian language. From the scrolls of papyri five thousand to ten thousand years old there comes stalking forth to view the whole story of an Egyptian Jesus raising from the dead an Egyptian Lazarus at an Egyptian Bethany, with two Egyptian Manes (Marys) present, the non-historical prototype of the incident related (only) in John's Gospel. From the walls of the temple of Luxor, carved there at a date at least 1,700 years B.C., there faces Christianity a group of four scenes that spell the non-historicity of four episodes purveyed as history in the Gospels' recital of the Christ nativity:

Answer for yourself: Sound familiar? Up until 200 years ago we could not read these inscriptions but now we can and in so doing we have to wonder how a historical Jesus can both be in Palestine doing his thing as well as in Ancient Egypt thousands of years prior doing likewise? Are these events concerning "the Christ" intended to be understood "literally" as Rome has taught us or are they to be understood "allegorically" and "mystically" as Egypt taught them to the world? Is "the Christ" to be understood as if "historical-literal" or is "the Christ" but an allegory for the intended "descent and life of the Soul of God in us"?

Answer for yourself: Is such evidence fatal to any hope of finding a "historical Jesus" or a "literal-historical Christ? Well, it should be for there is much more.

Egypt had used the symbol of a star rising in the east as the portent of coming deity for millennia anterior to the Christian era. Egypt had knelt at the shrine of the Black Madonna and child, Isis and Horus, for long centuries before a historical Mary lifted a the "patterned" supposed historical Jesus in her arms. Egypt had from remote times, five to ten thousand years B.C., adored a "Karast/Christ" (Horus) who had raised the dead and healed the lame, halt, blind, paralytic, leprous and all afflicted, who had restored speech to the dumb, exorcized demons from the possessed, dispersed his enemies with a word or look, wrestled with his Satan adversary, overcome all temptation and performed the works of his heavenly Father to the victorious end.

Answer for yourself: Can we find Jesus Christ in Egypt some 10,000 years B.C.E.?

Ancient Egypt had long known a Jesus, Iusa, who had been born amid celestial portents of an immaculate parenthood, circumcised, baptized, tempted, glorified on the mount, persecuted, arrested, tried, condemned, crucified, buried, resurrected and elevated to heaven. Egypt had listened to the Sermon on the Mount and the Sayings of Iusa for ages. Egypt had known a Jesus who long antedated the Gospel Messiah and who presents to the student hundreds and hundreds of items of identity, similarity and correspondence in word, deed and function with his later copy which was presented by Rome as the "unique and only" Jesus.

Answer for yourself: And why is so important for us to understand and know?

What I uncovered in my 20 years of study is absolutely fascinating as I see it. The first of my studies in the early years following Seminary were consumed with viewing the New Testament Jesus through the eyes of the Judaism and their Rabbis where Israel has for 2,000 years flatly denied that the New Testament Jesus is the Messiah of the Hebrew Scriptures. I would come to know why as I would soon come to see that purposeful misquotations, purposeful mistranslations, and pure Scriptural invention of "texts" by Rome in order to present to the unaware Gentiles this "Roman Jesus" as the supposed Messiah of Israel. This creation by Rome of a "false Messiah" was done only by gross textual forgery of our Christian Bibles and few Christians every study hard enough to see the truth. The fruit of such study showed me repeatedly that the Jews are right in their rejection of the New Testament Jesus for we in Christianity today have unbelievably accepted forged Old and New Testament texts that are "fixed" to make this New Testament Jesus appear as the "fulfiller of prophecy" and the awaited Jewish Messiah when in fact he does not and Judaism has for over 2,000 years denied that he is such a one. But again we don't know this as typical Christians because few if any Christians even know to look and compare their passages in their Christian Bibles with the Greek or even earlier Hebrew passages to see if they have been purposefully altered. In doing such studies I was troubled by the many comments by Jewish writers that the New Testament Jesus and his life "mimicked" the lives of prior sungods down through recorded history so I had to delve into this and devoted a website comparing these prior "Jesus Stories" with the one we have been given as "inspired, infallible, and inerrant" in our New Testaments by Rome. I, as a Pastor at a mega church in Dallas, was in tears as such a study was done over the next year or so for without a doubt my Jesus did not do or say one thing that has not been done or said by a host of other "sungods" thousands of years prior to the time the assumed historical Jesus was supposed to live. Along the way in these studies I ran into the doctrine of "gnosticism" which had to be investigated in-depth as well; a study that would take two years to really get my feet wet and which continues today because if opened my eyes to how Rome systematically destroyed the "First New Testament" of the early Gnostic Christians "Chrestians" (Gnostic Chrestians) whom we mistakenly call "Christians" today. In its place we got the counterfeit "rewrite" of the Gnostic New Testament where the mystical Gnostic Christ in us all is replaced by a non-existent "literal-historical" person which today has not one uncontested or unforged piece evidence that exits that can substantiate his very existence and a lot that does not. These Gnostics, I would find out, did not believe in a human Jesus Christ as amazing as that might sound. In facts the earliest New Testament had not infancy narratives or genealogies until the late second century around 180 A.D. when a "human Jesus" all of a sudden shows up. This study of gnosticism is highly important because it gave me an accurate "kodak-moment" of the earliest followers of "the Christ" and then comparisons with Rome and what they have taught us as Christians is easy to make. This study began to open my eyes not only to the "Mystical Christ" but the "Mythical Christ" which comes from the observation of the Sun through the Heavens and the Zodiac; a study which will show you the genius and superiority spirituality of the Ancients and their understanding of the Divine Realm in relation to what we know today. What you see here is that the Sun in its movements through the 12 Houses of the Zodiac, was personified by the Ancients with their keen spiritual insights, reveal to us that the Creator placed the whole intended plan for the Descent and growth, life, and maturation and ascent of the Soul at the end of our lives in the movement of the orbs of the Heavens. As I continued to study these key "issues" as reflected on these websites I began to get the "key" to unlock the common thread between all of these above studies; there exists a common theme repeated over and over again and the picture began to come clear the more I studied but I did not want the results I was finding. There was no Jewish Jesus that Israel would claim, no historical references contemporary to the time in which he supposedly lived from either Roman or Jewish writers. The Gnostic Christians never believed in a historical-Jesus and saw "the Christ" as a personified concept living and dwelling within the flesh of mankind. Unlike Rome who limited this Christ to one person these Chrestians taught that this Christ lives in every child of God and it is man's responsibility to "awaken" to its presence in one's live. Even Egypt and their astronomy only reinforced for me the idea that God is teaching all mankind about "the Christ" that dwells and lives within all matter, in our case mankind, and He does so through the movements of the Sun through the Heavens and Zodiac. Following such a study in Astronomy I saw unbelievably that the personification of the Sun and its path through the Zodiac for one year follows exactly and chronologically the "Jesus Story" from the first chapter in the Gospel of Matthew to the 28th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. I was floored to see this as it was the final nail in the coffin of the supposed "historical Jesus" for me. Many come to such a conclusion long before this but I had to be certain and left no rock unturned to find the truth about this supposed "historical Jesus". No where is to be found any unforged and unadulterated evidence for the existence of a "literal-historical Jesus Christ" and no matter how far back you study you find the same things taught about this Christ since day one a long time ago in Ancient Egypt; that is until you get to the 3rd century and Constantine and the emerging Roman Church. As far back in time that you wish to look, from 2nd - 3rd century before the rise of the Roman Empire and Constantine, all the way back to Ancient Egypt, we find the same Divine truth and Divine spiritual concepts concerning "the Christ" as taught by Egypt originally. This concept of "the Christ within" remained in tact and unadulterated up until the 3rd century when Rome will come along and "literalize" and "canalize" this Christ and continues to do so today. Sadly the vast majority of 2.5 billion good people and professed Christians in the world today don't know they are deceived and have not the slightest notion of the great need for their personal study in these areas since being ignorantly and falsely assured from their pulpits of their churches that they have the truth and that they are the "light" to a darkened world when the opposite is in ironically true.

No matter how far you go back and the discovery of the Rosetta Stone has allowed us to go back to the beginning of recorded time, Egypt's Christ was never a living person and all later "copies" and "Christ-prototypes" were never taught as if "literal-historical" until the 3rd century. But the fact of this Christ's nonhistoricity rises now out of the past that Christianity thought it had sealed in oblivion forever this ancient truth concerning "the Christ" and "Egyptian religion" by burning the libraries and books of the world along with their devotees. This proven nonhistoricity of "the Christ" strikes the death-knell of a false and spurious religion called Roman and Protestant Christianity as it is taught today. The Gospels' "life" of Jesus turns out to be nothing but the garbled, distorted, confused, perverted, warped, misrepresented, twisted, falsified, fragmentary and a plagiarized copy of an Egyptian prototype of a "Karast" who never lived, but was a purely a typological dramatic figure, portraying as always the Divinity in man (the Descent of the Soul into the flesh of mankind). The Egyptian Christ was always to be understood only "allegorically" and never as if "literal-historical".

Matt 24:23-26 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (KJV)

Answer for yourself: What has the Rosetta Stone unlocked for us in restoring the Egyptian language and religion? Many things, but my focus here is on the truth about the "Karast/Christ" which we find throughout the Egyptian writings, Temples, and Pyramids which, thanks to the Rosetta Stone, "speak to us again today".

We learn from deciphering the heiroglyphs that the coming of Christ," means the presence of "the Karast/Christ/Christos" in everyone in everyone and not the literal return of the body of some presumed historical Jew named "Jesus" back again to the earth. This Christ is neither in the wilderness nor in any temple or church built by man; for Christ is the Divine Principle inside every human being. The "Son of Mankind" is the adolescent of mankind’s own deeds, and the fruit of their own spiritual work. There is no "end of the world," but the beginning of the age of enlightenment when the Christos is activated in each and every one of us.

The "Christ principle," the awakened and glorified Spirit of Truth, being universal and eternal, is the true Christos which cannot be monopolized by any one person, even though religious leaders have chosen to give themselves the title of the "Vicar of Christ." or of the "Head" of that or another State-religion. The spirits of "Christos" and "Christ" cannot be confined to any creed or sect because that sect chooses to make itself exclusive or better than other.

The first key that one has to use to unravel the mystic name of Christ is the key which unlocked the door to the ancient mysteries of the Gnostics. Here again we can thank no only the Rosetta Stone and its discovery but the African and Egyptian Gnostics and the wonderful discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library just a mere 50 years ago which brought this all to light and exposed this Roman lie and corruption of "the Christ". The Gnosis supplanted by the Christianity were universal. They taught the repetition of the primordial wisdom-religion which had been inherited by all of mankind from its beginning and in its abstract appearance, the Spirit of Christ (the divine Logos) was present in humanity from the beginning.

The mystery of Christos—taught by the Ancient Spiritual Masters and "anointed ones" since the beginning of time just happens to be identical with that which from the first had been communicated concerning "those who were worthy." We may learn from the Gospel according to Luke, that the "worthy" were those who had been initiated into the mysteries of the Gnosis and these deeper Spiritual Truths that lay behind the simple "allegories" and "myths" given to laymen and others who were "accounted worthy" to attain that "resurrection from the dead."

In other words, they were the great adepts of whatever religion; and the words apply to all those who, without being Initiates, strive and succeed, through personal effort to live the life and to attain the naturally ensuing spiritual illumination in blending their personality--(the "Son") with (the "Father,") their individual divine Spirit, the God within them.

This resurrection" can never be monopolized by anyone for it is the spiritual birth-right of every human being endowed with soul and spirit, whatever his religion may be. Such individual is a Christ-man. On the other hand, those who choose to ignore the Christ (principle) within themselves, must die nonbelievers— regardless of baptism, sacraments, lip-prayers, and belief in dogmas.

For this to make sense we must bear in mind the original meaning involved in the two terms Chrestos and Christos. The former means certainly more than merely "a good," and "excellent man," while the latter was never applied to any one living man, but to every Initiate at the moment of his second birth and resurrection.

He who finds Christos within himself and recognizes the latter as his only "way," becomes a follower and an Apostle of Christ, though he may have never been baptized, nor even have met a "Christian," yet alone call himself one.

The word Chrestos existed long before Christianity existed. It is found used, from the fifth century B.C., by Herodotus, by Aischylus and other classical Greek writers, the meaning of it being applied to both things and persons. As St. Paul said," You may find Christos in your inner self through knowledge, not faith.

The Christos is the union of mankind with the divine principle in him. The Golden Age begins with the Spirit of Truth (Christos). The name of Christos was given to the solar gods who opened the gates of light and that it was a Chrestos whom god spoke through. It might come as a shock to you but the "real" Paul was a Gnostic, a founder of a new sect of Gnosis which recognized, as all other Gnostic sects did, a "Christ-Spirit."

Gerald Massey connects the Greek Christos or Christ with the Egyptian Karast/Karest, the "Mummy" of immortality," and proves it thoroughly. He begins by saying that in Egyptian the "Word of Truth" is Ma-Kheru, and that it is the title of Horus (the prototype for all later "Christs" including "Jesus"). Thus as he shows, Horus preceded the "Christian Christ" as but one of many Messengers of the Word of Truth, the Logos or the divine nature in humanity.

In the same paper Gerald Massey writes as follows: The Gnosis had three phases

Massey goes on to say that all three phases can be identified with the Christ of Egypt. In its astronomical aspect the constellation Orion is called the Sahu or mummy. The soul of Horus was represented as rising from the dead and ascending to Heaven; in particular in the stars of Orion. Next, the mummy-image of Horus was the preserved one, the saved, therefore a portrait of the Savior, as a type of immortality. This mummy-image of Horus, "the Christ", was as a figure of a dead man, which, as Plutarch and Herodotus tell us, was carried round at an Egyptian banquet, when the guests were invited to look on it and eat and drink and be happy, because, when they died, they would become what the image symbolized—that is, they also would be immortal! Here is your belief in "life after death" and being "in Christ/Karest/Karast".

This image of the Karest was bound up in a woven fabric without a seam, the proper vesture of the Christ! No matter what the length of the bandage might be, and some of the mummy-swathes have been unwound that were 1,000 yards in length, the woven fabric was from beginning to end without a seam just like the one mentioned in the New Testament for Jesus Christ.

Now, this seamless robe of the Egyptian Karest is a very tell-tale type of the mystical Christ, who becomes historic, carnalized, and literalized in the Roman Gospels as the wearer of a coat made without a seam, which neither the Greek nor the Hebrew fully explains, but which is explained by the Egyptian Ketu for the woven fabric, and by the seamless robe or swathing without seam that was made for eternal wear, and worn by the Mummy-Christ, the image of immortality in the tombs of Egypt.

Unknown to most Christians Jesus is depicted in the New Testament put to death in accordance with the instructions given for making the Karest. Not a bone must be broken. The true Karest must be perfect in every member. "This is he who comes out whole; whom men know not is his name."

In the Gospels Jesus rises again with every limb intact, like the perfectly-preserved Karest, to demonstrate the physical resurrection of the mummy. But, in the Egyptian original, the mummy transforms. The deceased says: "I am spiritualized. I am become a soul. I rise as a God." This transformation into the spiritual image, the Ka, has been omitted in the Gospel.

This spelling of the name as Chrest or Christ in Latin is of utmost importance, because it proves the identity with the Egyptian Karest or Karust, the name of the Christ as the embalmed mummy, which was the image of the resurrection in Egyptian tombs, the type of immortality, the likeness of the Horus, who rose again and made the pathway out of the sepulchre for those who were his disciples or followers.

This type of the Karest or Mummy-Christ was duplicated in the Catacombs of Rome. No sign of the supposed historic resurrection of Jesus has been found on any of the early Christian monuments. But instead we find the scene of Lazarus being raised from the dead. This is depicted over and over again as the typical resurrection where there is no real one!

Answer for yourself: What is behind this Lazarus story?

The scene is not exactly like the rising from the grave in the Gospels. It is purely Egyptian, and Lazarus is an Egyptian mummy! Thus Lazarus is the mummy-type of the resurrection; Lazarus is the Karest, who was the Egyptian Christ, and who is reproduced by Gnostic art in the Catacombs of Rome as a form of the Gnostic Christ, who was not and could not become an historical character. Further, as the thing is Egyptian, the name of Lazarus is derived from the Egyptian language. If so, "Laz" (equal to Ras) means "to be raised up", while "aru" is the name of the mummy. In Greek terminology this becomes Lazarus. In the course of humanizing the myth of the typical representation of the resurrection found in the tombs of Rome and Egypt evolves the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead. This Karest type of the Christ in the Catacombs is not limited to Lazarus.

By means of the Karest type the Christ and the Christians can both be traced in the ancient tombs of Egypt. The mummy was made in this likeness of the Christ. It was the Christ by name, identical with the Chrestoi of the Greek Inscriptions. Thus the honored dead, who rose again as the followers of Horus-Makheru, the Word of Truth, are Christians. On the Egyptian monuments "Ma-Kheru" is the term that is always applied to the faithful for the Christ.

The fact that the physical Church was founded by Constantine, and that it was a part of his decree "that the venerable day of the Sun should be the day for the worship of Jesus Christ as Sun-day," indicates that they knew that the allegory was based upon the zodiac for the Puranas (the richest collection of mythology in the world which has been passed down orally since the time of Krishna) and the Bible are full of solar and astronomical metaphors.

Thus "Christos," under whatever name, means more than Karest, a mummy, or even the "anointed" and the chosen ones of the Church. Avatars, who lived and died for humanity, have existed in many and all the ages, and many holy men in ancient times who bore the surname or title of Chrestos before Jesus of Nazareth was born. Therefore the example of the New Testament Jesus was like Socrates, like Theodorus, and so many others surnamed Christos, i.e., the "good, the excellent," the gentle, and the holy Initiate, who showed the "way" to the Christos life, and thus models themselves of "the Way" of Godliness in the world and in the hearts of their enthusiastic followers. The Roman Church has unsuccessfully tried to eliminate all signs of the other Christoi, who have appeared to them as rivals of their Man-God.

To be considered a good Christian as defined by "the Church" one has to affirm and show faith in the dogmas interpreted by the Church; then we are free to live on principles contrary to those expressed in the Sermon on the Mount. How sad. "Faith is the key of Christendom," saith Chaucer, and the penalty for lacking it is as clearly stated as words can make it, in St. Mark’s Gospel, Chapter XV1 verse 16: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." But the "Christ Within" teaches otherwise. In closing let it be said that it is difficult for anyone who has studied comparative myths and religions and compared them to the Bible we have today to see it as anything but a watered down version of the Wisdom Religion of ancient Mystery Schools.

Answer for yourself: And who do we owe for this revelation of "the Christ Within"? Well, we can thank 1799 by Napoleon's army in 1799 for preparing the world for the truth about "the Christ" which comes to us from a black stone which unlocked the secrets of the Egyptian Temple walls and Pyramids and in go doing restoring to the world the Ancient Divine Truths from God given mankind which had been destroyed and purposely hidden from the world by the devious agendas and forgeries of Rome in their Christian Bible which furthered their political ambitions.

With this one revelation of lost truth and lost light, namely, that as Christians and followers of the Christ, we have been once again given the lost the "keys" necessary to understanding the "Jesus Story" as it has been handed down for thousands and thousands of years before Rome's reinterpretation of it. Given this and its proper understanding the structure of a "literal-historical Christianity" tumbles to the ground. This ruse and deception must come to an end and today finally it can be replaced by a purely spiritual Christianity since the facts and archeological truths are surfacing daily; and all thanks to a black rock. The Dark Ages can be brought to their dismal end at last and this only because some trench-digger hit a buried treasure and old back rock that has laid buried for thousands of years waiting for the saying of "the Christ" to be fulfilled:"the rocks will cry out" and they have.
