JESUS CHRIST HAS CAPTURED THE IMAGINATION
OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE around the world for almost 2000 years.Few
people know that he represents something far different and
the following chapters unravel an entirely new story about
the circumstances surrounding the birth and emergence of the
Christian religion.
In order to cover this ground it is necessary
to consider the New Testament stories from a different perspective.By
stripping away their supernatural elements,the earliest church
writings relay a confused skeletal outline of the lives of
two separate men.This work unravels those stories and shows
how the New Testament came into being and what it really is.Until
now,this aspect of the Gospel story has never been fully developed
and by coordinating new information with surviving records,a
reconstruction of the probable course of events that resulted
in Christianity today is presented.
What was the church trying to hide? IN 1415,THE
CHURCH OF ROME TOOK AN EXTRAORDINARY STEP TO destroy all knowledge
of two Second Century Jewish books that it said contained
‘the true name of Jesus Christ.’ The Antipope Benedict
XIII firstly singled out for condemnation a secret Latin treatise
called ‘Mar Yesu ’ and then issued instructions
to destroy all copies of the Book of Elxai.No editions of
these writings now publicly exist,but church archives recorded
that they were once in popular circulation and known to the
early presbyters.Knowledge of these writings survived from
quotations made by Bishop Hippolytus of Rome (176 –236)and
St Epiphanius of Salamis (315 – 403)along with references
in some early editions of the Talmud of Palestine and Babylonia.The
Rabbinic fraternity once held the destroyed manuscripts with
great reverence for they were comprehensive original records
reporting the ‘Life of Rabbi Jesus ’.

Later,in a similar manner,Pope Alexander
VI (1492 –1503)ordered all copies of the Talmud destroyed.The
Council of the Inquisition required as many Jewish writings
as possible to burn with the Spanish Grand Inquisitor, Tomas
de Torquemada (1420 –98),responsible for the elimination
of 6000 volumes at Salamanca.In 1550,Cardinal Caraffa,the
Inquisitor-General procured a Bull from the Pope repealing
all previous permission for priests to read the Talmud which
he said contained ‘hostile stories about Jesus Christ
’. Bursting forth with fury at the head of his minions,he
seized every copy he could find in Rome and burnt them.Solomon
Romano (1554)also burnt many thousands of Hebrew scrolls and
in 1559 every Hebrew book in the city of Prague was confiscated.The
mass destruction of Jewish books included hundreds of copies
of the Old Testament and caused the irretrievable loss of
many original hand-written documents.The oldest text of the
Old Testament that survived,before the discovery of the Dead
Sea Scrolls was said to be the Bodleian
Codex (Oxford),which was dated to circa 1100AD.In an attempt
by the church to remove damaging Rabbinic information about
Jesus Christ from the face of the earth,the Inquisition burnt
12,000 volumes of the Talmud However,many copies survived
and today provide opposing traditions about the person called
Jesus Christ.
In the mass destruction of Jewish writings,the
church overlooked two particular British documents that also
recorded ‘the true name of Jesus Christ ’. They
survive to this day in the British Museum and are called the
Chronicles and the Myvyean Manuscript treasured ancient documents
with a very early origin.Supporting evidence was also found
on early First Century gold, silver and bronze coins discovered
at the site of an ancient mint at Camulodunum (Colchester)in
Britain.‘Thus the testimony of the Briton coins establishes
clearly and positively the historicity of the traditional
ancient ‘Chronicles ’ as authentic historical records.’1
The evidence is compelling,and additional
supporting clues are found on a mysterious headstone in Germany,in
Vatican art treasures,and in a series of coded sentences in
the Shakespearean Plays.Further concealed information was
left in the form of specially created statues commissioned
by a Catholic priest and positioned in a small hilltop church
in Southern France.Coded ciphers were also secreted into the
first English-language printings of the Bible and a combination
of all clues provides interlocking information and presents
a new insight into the origin of Christianity.
Secret ciphers in the New Testament It was
the ‘wisest fool in Christendom ’,2 who ‘authorised
’ the translation and publication of the first Protestant
version of the Bible into English.He came to the English throne
in 1603 and quickly became unpopular because of ‘his
disgusting personal habits and his unsavoury character ’.3
He pretended to be a scholar in theology and philosophy,but
his learning was shallow and superficial.He wallowed in filth,moral
and physical,but was endowed with a share of cunning that
his associates called,‘a kind of crooked wisdom ’.4

For his new edition of the Bible he issued
a set of personal ‘Rules ’ the translators were
to follow and ordered revisions to proceed,although he never
contributed a farthing to its cost.Work began early in 1607
and took a committee of forty-seven men (some records say
fifty-four,others say fifty)two years and nine months to rewrite
the Bible and make ready for the press.Each man received thirty
shillings per week for his contribution. Upon its completion
in 1609,a remarkable event occurred —the translators
handed over the reviser ’s manuscripts of what is now
called the King James Bible to King James for his final personal
approval.‘It was self-evident that James was not competent
to check their work and edit it,so he passed the manuscripts
on to the greatest genius of all time ...Sir Francis Bacon.’5
Sir Francis Bacon (1561 –1626)was a
man of many talents,a lawyer,linguist and composer.He mastered
every subject he undertook;mathematics, geometry,music,poetry,painting,astronomy,classical
drama and poetry, philosophy,history,theology and architecture.He
was a man of many aims and purposes,the father of modern science,remodeler
of modern law,patron of modern democracy,and possibly the
reviver of Freemasonry.His life and works are extensively
documented,and his intellectual accomplishments widely recognized,particularly
in academic circles.At the age of sixteen,he was sent to Paris
‘direct from the Queens Hand ’ and there studied
Egyptian, Arabian,Indian and Greek philosophy with particular
attention given to the Ancient Mysteries and their Ritual
Rites.He personally recorded that, while in Paris,he created
a secret cipher system that could be inserted into a document
without arousing suspicion.While living in Europe,Francis
Bacon was initiated into the mysterious Order of the Knights
Templar and learnt a very special secret.Before he returned
to London,he travelled to France,Italy,Germany and Spain and
at the age of twenty completely devoted himself to the study
of law.From his understanding of the secret information he
had learned during his initiation into the Knights Templar,he
conceived the idea of reactivating various Secret Societies
and in 1580 founded the secret Rosicrosse Literary Society
in Gray ’s Inn.Later in the same year,he founded the
Lodge of Free and Accepted or Speculative Masons,also at Gray
’s Inn.
On 25 June 1607 Sir Francis Bacon was appointed
Solicitor-General and Chief Advisor to the Crown.He had presented
new ideas to the Government for the Reformation of the church
and was officially instructed to commence restructuring the
Bible.Research in the Records Office of the British Museum
revealed that original documents still exist which refer to
important proceedings associated with Sir Francis Bacon ’s
involvement with the editing of both the Old and New Testaments
They revealed that he personally selected and paid the revisers
of the New Testament who completed their task under the instructions
of Bacon ’s long-time friend,Dr Andrews. Statue of the

The first English language manuscripts of
the Bible remained in Bacon ’s possession for nearly
a year.During that time:
...he hammered the various styles of the
translators into the unity,rhythm, and music of Shakespearean
prose,wrote the Prefaces and created the whole scheme of the
Authorized Version.6
He also encoded secret information into
both the Old and New Testament An ancient document recorded
that the true history of early Christianity was known to the
initiates of the Order of the Knights Templar,having originally
been:
...imparted to Hugh de Payens by the Grand-Pontiff
of the Order of the Temple (of the Nazarene sect),one named
Theocletes,after which it was learned by some Knights in Palestine.7
Regarding the months of editing work applied
to the Bible by Bacon,his biographer,William T.Smedley, confirmed
the extent of the editing:
It will eventually be proved that the whole
structure of the Authorised Bible was Francis Bacon ’s.He
was an ardent student not only of the Bible, but also of early
manuscripts.St Augustine,St Jerome,and writers of theological
works,were studied by him with industry.8
At the completion of the editing,Sir Francis
Bacon and King James I had a series of meetings to finalise
editorial matters associated with the new Bible. It was at
this time that King James ordered a ‘Dedication to the
King ’ to be drawn up and included in the opening pages.He
also wanted the phrase ‘Appointed to be read in the Churches
’ to appear on the title page.This was an announcement
clarifying that King James had personally given the church
‘Special Command ’ for this particular version of
the Bible to be used in preference to the vast array of Greek
and Latin Vulgate Bibles current at the time.His reason was
personal,as King James had previously instructed the revisers
to ‘defend the position of the king ’ in their restructuring
of the texts.This was seen as an attempt to distance the Protestant
Bible from the Catholic version.The Protestant versions of
the Bible are thinner by seven books than the Catholic version
and the variant churches have never agreed on a uniform Bible.In
their translation of 1 Peter 2:13 the revisors changed the
phrase ‘the emperor,as supreme ’ to ‘the king,as
supreme ’.Because King James ’ Bible was written
to support the authority of a king,the later church often
referred to it as the one from ‘authority ’,and
it later came to be presented as if officially ‘authorised
’.In subsequent revisions,the word ‘authorised ’
found its way onto the title page and later still came to
be printed on the cover,giving King James ’ new Bible
a false sense of authenticity.
 The
King James Bible is considered by many today to be the ‘original
’ Bible and therefore ‘genuine ’ and all later
revisions simply counterfeits forged by ‘higher critics
’.Others think the King James Bible is ‘authentic
’ and ‘authorised ’ and presents the original
words of the authors as translated into English from the ‘original
’ Greek text.However,the ‘original ’ Greek
text was not written until around the mid-Fourth Century and
was a revised edition of writings compiled decades earlier
in Aramaic and Hebrew.Those earlier documents no longer exist
9 and the Bibles we have today are five linguistic removes
from the first Bibles written.What was written in the ‘original
originals ’ is quite unknown.It is important to remember
that the words ‘authorised ’ and ‘original
’,as applied to the Bible,do not mean ‘genuine ’,‘authentic
’ or ‘true ’.
