''John’s
Gospel tells
nothing
about
Herod’s
death or
disappearance
plot as told
by the
Synoptic
gospels as
to John.''
If you read
John's
gospel you
will see
that the
story about
John being
beheaded by
Herod is
missing.
John the
Baptist is
not done
away with in
the gospel
of John.
Dr.
Lovewisdom
explains the
other
gospel's
story that
John was
locked in
prison and
beheaded in
its
allegorical
aramaic
multi-meaning.
''John was
not shut up
in prison.
The Syriac
English
Glossary
states
kHBISA
means hermit,
coming from
kHBaS to
shut up, and
kHBUSTA
confinement,
restraint or
imprisonment.
Also, he was
not beheaded,
PSQT also
meaning
stop, cease,
decided as
well as cut
off.
Actually in
Mandaic PSQ
means to
find relief.
So in Mark’s
elaborate
allegory,
Jesus was
explained as
the
resurrected
John, who
was thus
working
great
miracles.
He was not
only
declared as
the greatest
Prophet (although
he himself
says he is
not the
Prophet),
but
practicing
restraint
himself as a
hermit,
rather than
imprisoned
and beheaded.
More, he was
protected by
Herod in
admiration
for being "a
righteous
and holy man,
and he
guarded him,
and he heard
him gladly"
and was
given relief
rather than
beheaded by
Herod.
This
tetrarch,
Herod, was
the foster
brother of
Manahen, the
Essene, that
Josephus
tells about,
and thus was
a fellow
Essene, and
sought to be
John’s
protector. (Mk.6:16-20)
Mark 6:16-20
New
International
Version (NIV)
16 But
when Herod
heard this,
he said,
“John, whom
I beheaded,
has been
raised from
the dead!”
So the
aramaic word
for
imprisoned
and beheaded
had multiple
meanings
also meaning
stop, cease,
decided as
well as cut
off. kHBISA
means hermit,
coming from
kHBaS to
shut up, and
kHBUSTA
confinement,
restraint or
imprisonment.
PSQT also
meaning
stop, cease,
decided as
well as cut
off.
17 For
Herod
himself had
given orders
to have John
arrested,
and he had
him bound
and put in
prison.
He did this
because of
Herodias,
his brother
Philip’s
wife, whom
he had
married.
18 For
John had
been saying
to Herod,
“It is not
lawful for
you to have
your
brother’s
wife.”
19 So
Herodias
nursed a
grudge
against John
and wanted
to kill him.
But she was
not able to,
20 because
Herod feared
John and
protected
him, knowing
him to be a
righteous
and holy man.
When Herod
heard John,
he was
greatly
puzzled;
yet he liked
to listen to
him.
''Simon
Zealot and
his follower
Judas saw
only the
negative
meaning in
the Aramaic
words of the
whole story
like Satan (Mt.16:23),
and thus
were
actually the
wardens of a
prisoner’s
escort
taking John
to the High
Priest and
Pilate.
As Luke
informs us,
it was Herod
who assured
Pilate in
the maneuver
protecting
John and
helping John
discipline
Simon Peter
in dying to
his former
sinful self.
This is
tactfully
described in
the Lost
Gospel of
Peter
dealing with
the swoon
and quick
revival.
The
Apocryphon
of John (Nag
Hammadi
Library)
considers
another
aspect as
the "prison
of the body"
dwelling in
darkness of
the world,
keeping one
from the
Light (which
the hermit
life
escapes).
Thus he also
shows how
Noah’s Ark
as a
luminous
cloud, the
light of
foreknowledge
that saves
him from the
flood of
darkness
brought upon
the whole
earth, the
luminous
cloud being
also a part
of the
gospel
mysteries
described in
the
transfiguration.
He goes on
telling of
the
ineffable,
immeasurable
Light "neither
corporeal
nor
incorporeal"
like the "being
and non-being"
of the
Buddhist
mysteries,
beside the "the
Word, the
Christ the
Self-Begotten
Autogene
that created
everything".
Self-Begotten
is the only
begotten,
since Father
begot
Himself in
the Son.
The Gnostic
Gospel of
Thomas cites
Jesus in
saying, "Woe
unto the
Pharisees
for they are
like a dog
sleeping in
a manger of
oxen, for
neither does
he eat nor
does he let
the oxen
eat", which
in regard to
the divine
mysteries,
the Eastern
Orthodox
Church to
our day
believes the
Western
Roman Church
resembles
with its
dogmatism.
(Remember
that
Protestants
are
protesting
against the
Catholic
Roman Church
and wanted
reform, but
a lot of
their
beliefs and
customs they
just adopted
like the
Apostle's
creed. If we
want to get
back to the
original
gospel of
Jesus given
by John we
need to
study the
Aramaic pre-Catholic
scriptures.)
Thus with
the
disappearance
of John, and
Herod’s
claim to
have
beheaded him,
he admits
Jesus is
John risen
from the
dead, to
please his
wife, where
as being an
admirer of
John, he
only
pretended to
do so with
facsimile
substitute.
Historic
facts have a
wonderful
way of
accommodating
themselves
to glorify
the saints
and gods of
religious
worship.
When Jesus
came to his
own country,
they said,
"How came
this man by
this wisdom
and miracles?
Is not this
the
carpenter’s
son? Is not
his mother
called Mary
and his
brethren
James and
Joseph, and
Simon and
Jude? and
are not his
sisters here
with us?
Jesus said:
`A prophet
is not
without
honor,
except in
his own
country, his
own house
and his own
kindred.’
And he could
not do any
miracles
there." (Mt.13;
Mk.6)
Only King
Herod said
he was John
Baptist
risen again,
doing
miracles.
However,
Luke says
the people
thrust him
out of this
city, and
tried to
cast him
over a
precipice.
John only
says "Neither
did his
brethren
believe in
him."
With faith
he could
move
mountains
but without
it he could
do nothing,
because it
was the
Father
within him
who did the
works.
Yet the
Esoteric
Wisdom he
obtained at
the Buddhist
Monastery
did save
John with
both Herod
and Pilate,
both of whom
maneuvered
the trouble-makers
to become
victims of
the
penalties
the Truth-Teacher
was
mistakenly
accused of
deserving.
Theodas was
beheaded
instead of
John, and
Simon was
crucified
instead of
Jesus or
John who
stayed with
him until
after he was
taken from
the cross
and put in
Joseph’s
tomb, and
secretly
revived so
he could
live to old
age in
Kashmir.''
(In Kashmir
India there
are the
footprints
of Jesus
Barabbas aka
Peter son of
Abbas the
terrorist of
Cyrene, with
the
crucifixion
scars in his
feet. Even
the worst
terrorist
and criminal,
like Peter
was before,
can be
reformed or
rehabilitated.
Similar to
Nelson
Mandela who
killed over
a hundred
people in
terrorist
attacks but
later turned
to non
violence and
helped end
apartheid in
South Africa.
Would that
this might
happen in
Israel-Palestine.)
