THE ESSENE COMPANY AT THE TIME OF JESUS     1-1-63

  

                Back in the days when Nebuchadnezzar conquered the Judah Kingdom  they took the King ‑‑Zedekiah into captivity and killed all his sons.  But the Davidic throne was transferred to the west as Jeremiah  transferred the crown by taking Zedekiah's daughter Tea Tephi‑‑his own  granddaughter ‑‑to Ireland, and there marries her to the king of Ireland  who was of the Zerah line of Judah. Thus the king line was transferred  to an Israel nation ‑‑in the house of Joseph. Later when some of Judah,  Benjamin and Levi came back to Judea they would never be secure in  control of their government but just remember that the king-line had  been transferred, and this old line in old Judea was to end.     

Now; while in captivity some of these Israelites of the Judah  kingdom fell, and they mongrelized, still the faith was kept alive even  there. Always these two pillars of wisdom were with Israel, in the  Judah captivity as well as the ten tribes in their captivity and  migration. The two wisdom schools were started by Enoch and Job in the  city of On, Egypt so long before the birth of YAHSHUA (Jesus) in old  Judea. But these two schools of wisdom still remained with the race so  what they did consist of;‑‑?  There were two words‑‑ two parts of the  wisdom schools. Thus it was always written that there was two pillars  of wisdom with Israel. One ‑‑the Jerusalem word meaning‑‑ the Household  of YAHWEH, the spiritual center of the kingdom of Peace, thus the  application of the kingdom in the earth. The second word is ‑‑ the  Universal word‑‑ this pillar of wisdom reaches out through the entire  Universe‑‑‑thus Grand Masters of the Universe, or sons and daughters of  YAHWEH here in their beginning as Adamites or HU‑man ‑‑spirit man‑‑  YAHWEH'S MAN IN EARTH building the temple of YAHWEH. And the priesthood  of these Master Builders of the Universe were thus termed MASTER  BUILDERS.

                Here you see that at the time approximately from 5000 B.C. to 4500  B.C. ‑‑long before the birth of YAHWEH as YASHUA savior, then these  Mystery schools were set in place. Masonry for a long time was the  outgrowth of the ancient wisdom schools, so early in the Adamic race  they were established. One of the wisdom schools was established by  Job, and they used the law of the fulcrum, the scales, the balancer  ‑‑‑‑and applied this knowledge to physical earth, thus were called  Grand Masters. The other wisdom school or Pillar of Wisdom was that  established by Enoch, and these men were known as the Masters of the  Cross which was symbolized by the Crux below the Southern Cross of the  heavens. The Rose of Sharon ties into the Rose Cross, and the crux of  the heavens, and this is the highest area of spiritual law. They knew  about where this was in its astronomical position, and how under divine  direction of spiritual wisdom it could be applied to mens minds, to the  philosophy of thinking. Using the spiritual wisdom  then Adam man could   do wondrous things. This knowledge was used in the building of the  pyramid, as those there said they used the LIGHT to lift the great  stones.

                Now; these two schools of Wisdom  were to work together in all  patterns of science and law as it related to justice and righteousness‑‑‑would thus come together as Masons, or Master Builders  for physical earth. Knowledge of the spiritual came through the  organization known as "The Rose Cross" ‑‑ and this tied into the story  of "The Rose of Sharon" and the Crux of the heavens. These two schools  of wisdom were to continue down with Israel. You will find thru the Old  Testament days that this knowledge was used for the great building  projects which marked the Race.

                Now; remember that Moses‑‑an Israelite‑‑was raised by Pharaoh's   daughter who was by the way, an Israelite of pure linage‑‑ which ended  with her , for her half brother was educated at the city of On, by the  same continuing priesthood which had continued down in the city from  the time when established by Enoch and Job. It was still there when  Joseph and Mary took YASHUA (Jesus) there for protection from Herod  king of Yehudin. There was still a temple between the paws of the  Sphinx at that time, and there they stayed until they left that white  run city to go back to Nazareth.

                Now these two pillars of wisdom ‑‑these ancient wisdom schools  came on down thru the race, and at that time when Jesus walked the  earth, the Essene company maintained this knowledge. This wisdom was  not for everyone, even everyone of Israel thus it would not be trodden  down by the Masses. And when YAHWEH established the house of Levi, from  which was to come His 'called' ministers then He ordained that Levi be  no more counted in Israel, but scattered throughout the tribes. After  both  the sons of Joseph were taken into the tribal numbering  then  with Levi scattered thru the tribes, the number 12 ‑‑ could be  maintained for it is a divine and important number. Now Levi was to be  responsible  for the instruction of YAHWEH'S people, and they were to  learn the key to spiritual law, as well as all the scriptures, and all  the facts listed in the old Zohar the mysteries revealed in the days of  Enoch. All these things of knowledge were delivered to Levi and they  were thus the keepers of the Schools of Wisdom . A Levite could not  enter into the High Priesthood less he was a Mason and totally  dedicated  to 'The Rose Cross‑‑The Rose of Sharon ‑‑and the crux  (cross)‑‑' thus the two houses were to be combined for a purpose. Today the Masonry and the Rose Cross now Rosicrucian societies  have been infiltrated and the Rosicrucian under Madam Blavatsky became  totally Satanic. Much Asiatic philosophy has been fed into Masonry as  well. Dr Swift thought there were still areas of true 'light carriers'  of Israel  left, and there is still Druids of Britain , and one of  these days Masonry will be purged as well as the church, and the evil  and error will go, and the ancient wisdom schools will once more be  leading Israel.

                Now; back to the time when Judah and Israel were in captivity  ‑‑‑still secretly‑‑‑the knowledge from the two schools was kept alive.  The Levi throughout Israel knew they had  two responsibilities. One was  to serve their brethren, and the other to fulfill their responsibility  as children of YAHWEH by working toward the bringing  in of the  kingdom. Thus they taught the purpose of "Israel" in earth.   Even as the ten tribes of Israel and a great number of the Judah  kingdom migrated to the west they also still carried with them the  knowledge that they were the children of YAHWEH, and they had a purpose  in being in earth. They knew the spiritual forces of their ancestors  were in the plains of spirit, and they called on them in times of  trouble. All that has been lost in the history of our race, but it  carried them thru until Christ came and the resurrection and atonement  was completed.

     Now back in Palestine at the time when Joseph and Mary brought the  baby Jesus back to Nazareth , the remnant of Judah , Benjamin and Levi  who had returned to this old land from Babylon had gradually lost  control of their land, and even the temple at Jerusalem. And now the  true priests of Israel, the Levi, were crowded out and the Sadducees,  false Priests served in the temple at Jerusalem. There were a few  lesser priests still there and one of them remained at the temple of  Bethlehem, but the rest were living in the caves and cavern systems  outside Jerusalem. These were called ‑‑"The Essenes", and this  underground system stretched from the Dead Sea area to Damascus. This  was the situation then when the Christ was born in that old land. Some  of Judah , Benjamin and Levi were still in the land, but they were even  at times swayed somewhat by the beauty of this temple that Herod built  even tho they knew he was not an Israelite.

     Now; into the picture comes this man called Joseph of Arimathea.  He was the owner of the tin mines in the British Isles, had great  fleets of sailing ships, and was a very wealthy man. He was a member of  the Sanhedrin here in Palestine, had a home just inside the north east  section of Jerusalem, and one outside the city next to the garden on  the Mount of Olives. He was of course an Israelite, and had a sister  who was a queen in Britain by the name of Anna. She came to visit in  Palestine, came on one of the ships of her brother Joseph of Arimathea.  There in Palestine she gave birth to a baby girl and then the mother  died. the baby was of course was Mary who became the mother of the body  for YAHWEH as he came as YASHUA‑‑ The Messiah‑‑ Savior, identifying with  his race.

     Now; you see the close connection between all these people , for  the Joseph that married Mary as Protector, in this time, was an older  brother of Joseph of Arimathia. And this Joseph of Arimathia‑‑‑was not  only a member of the Sanhedrin in Palestine , but also a member of the  Essene company, this Israel Priesthood out in the caves and cavern  system of that land . The secrecy of this company and its connection  with Israel over the land was maintained by an elaborate system of  watchers who used light flashes as signals. If some messenger between  these two groups was coming or going then shepherds would drive their  sheep over the tracks and destroy them, and the people in power in  Judea could never find the entrance to these cavern systems which they  disguised by piling brush and so forth over them.

     Remember that John the Baptist was taken to the Essenes for his  protection, and was raised there, and he is said to have talked from  the time he was a babe until he was about the age of 12 as this  knowledge faded from him, talked about the things of heaven, told them  the Messiah had been born, was now in the earth and was growing up.  Joseph of Arimathea knew these things, and he watched Mary's child  growing up, and then began taking him as a young man on his ships. Took  him to the Isles of Britain of the Sea where in the Universities of  London he astonished the professors. But they called him the embodiment  of the 'Triad'‑‑no‑‑not the trinity‑‑Triad, spirit, soul and body. The  Druids recognized him as YASHUA who they had so long awaited , for  rightly so they thought no man could know these things he taught unless  He were Deity.

     Joseph of Arimathea thus watched this young great nephew, and when  he went back to Palestine he would report these things to the Essenes,  and they also waited and hoped, surely this was the Messiah, surely the  day would soon come when He will take the Crown, and the possession of  the kingdom administration would come back to Israel. But wait‑‑ John  the Baptist had said the YAHWEH as Messiah would take the Chalice at  this time.
