Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan’s Journey - Message International

[ramrodd]

COMM#NTARY

Well, the one thing I agree with you is that John Mark wrote the Gospel of John to be integral to the narrative of The Gospel of Mark written by Cornelius immediately after his encounter with Peter in Acts 10.

Cornelius wrote The Gospel of Mark around 40 from the contents of what we call Quelle and they referred to as euangeliou,,

The Gospel of Peter was the intelligence report Pilate sent to Rome under the cover of euangeliou, a transit protocol that meant "Tidings of Joy for the Eyes of the Emperor, first". Peter received this version of Mark 15 from Cornelius when they traded notes about Jesus in Acts 10 Peter gave Cornelius the executive summary of Jesus's career in Acts 10:34 - 43, which tends to confirming Gary Habermas's p thesis of the early emergence of doctrine.

Mark 1:1 is best understood as "everything that occurred around Jesus in the events leading up to Mark 15, aka euangeliou A general outline of The Gospel of Peter circulated throughout the legions by the time Tiberius proposed to enroll Jesus in the Roman Pantheon. The hostility and fear of the Senate towards Tiberius because of the brutal public disgrace and execution of Sejanus prevented this from happening. .

The Gospel of Mark begins when Jesus appears above the Roman military horizon as a possible Zealot when He is baptized as accepts command of John the Baptist's constituency. Everything in the Gospels and Acts that includes εὐθὺς was collected by the Roman spy network and intelligence services before Jesus was arrested and Resurrection, with the exception of Acts 10:16, which is Peter's witness to Cornelius in Acts 10 When Cornelius sat down to write the intelligence abstract we call the Gospel of Mark, εὐθὺς defined Quelle, which is referred to as euangeliou. The Gospel of Mark is in circulation before Paul writes Galatians and is employed by Matthew after the Council of Jerusalem to compose a polemic that connects ass the theological dots Cornelius is unaware of and creates a polemic supporting Peter's Judaizing campaign.

Just for the record, the gospel of Matthew anticipates Mohammad and Islam with it's nativity narrative previewing Sura 12 Yusef, the only complete narrative in the Koran, and the 28 chapters symbolizing the letters of the Arabic alphabet. The Gospel of Matthew begins in the dark fo the moon and, in Matthew 7 discuses fasting at the beginning of Ramadan with the New Moon. Sura Maryam 19:19 is connected theologically to John 19:19 which refutes the heresy of Sura 4:157.

Paul refers to euangeliou 19 times, beginning with Galatians and 5 times Philippians, he end zone celebration for his defense of the Epistle to the Romans before the Italian Cohort of the Praetorian Guard. The edea that Paul is the theological basis of Matthew, Mark and Luke is sheer Fascist sophistry presented to support the Total Depravity Gospel of Campus Crusade for Christ and the Prosperity Gospel business model of Pro-Life Evangelical generally associated with Pat Robertson and the CBN.

Pat Robertson was engaged in the heresy of arrogating the agency of the Holy Spirit over the Spirit of the Lord to himself, He was the anti-Christ of Calvinism, incarnate.

Well now really when we go back into falling in love. And say, it's crazy. Falling. You see? We don't say "rising into love." There is in it the idea of the fall. And it goes back, as a matter of fact, to extremely fundamental things. That there is always a curious tie at some point between the fall and the creation. Taking this ghastly risk is the condition of there being life. You see, for all life is an act of faith an act of gamble. The moment you take a step, you do so on an act of faith because you don't really know that the floor's not going to give under your feet. The moment you take a journey, what an act of faith. The moment that you enter into any kind of human undertaking in relationship, what an act of faith. See, you've given yourself up. But this is the most powerful thing that can be done. Surrender. See. And love is an act of surrender to another person. Total abandonment. I give myself to you. Take me. Do anything you like with me. See. So, that's quite mad because you see, it's letting things get out of control. All sensible people keep things in control. Watch it, watch it, watch it. Security? Vigilance? Watch it. Police? Watch it. Guards/Gods? Watch it. Who's going to watch the guards? So, actually, therefore, the course of wisdom, what is really sensible, is to let go, is to commit oneself, to give oneself up and that's quite mad. So we come to the strange conclusion that in madness lies sanity.

Death Row inmate Domineque Ray hoped that when he took his final breath, he could find comfort in the presence of his Muslim spiritual adviser. But the Alabama prison where Ray was awaiting execution wouldn't allow it. Prison officials would only allow their own Christian chaplain to offer the prisoner solace from inside the execution chamber. They said it would be a security risk to let someone into the room who wasn't an employee of the state's corrections department. Ray's imam, Yusef Maisonet, could only watch from the next room, behind glass.

Ray challenged that decision, and a federal appeals court on Wednesday granted a stay of execution until it could determine whether the prison had violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by preferring one religion over another.

But the next day, by a vote of 5-4, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed the execution to go forward. Ray's life ended Thursday night, by lethal injection. His imam watched from a separate room, The Associated Press reported....(read more)

Christians DON'T Want This to be TRUE about MARK

COMMENTARY:

Well, the one thing I agree with you is that John Mark wrote the Gospel of John to be integral to the narrative of The Gospel of Mark written by Cornelius immediately after his encounter with Peter in Acts 10.

Al Andalus III: One of the world’s greatest civilizations; The Downfall and end, Part 1.

Alhambra, Granada

II. The Nasaries.

The Nasaries.

The country was , as we said before, divided into 7 autonomies, which were; Seville (native Spanish Muslims), Granada (Berber), Córdoba (Arabs, beno Jahwar), Toledo (Berber), Valencia and the east of al Andalus (Arabs, Yemen ), Zaragoza (beni Hud ), Badajos (Berber).

The Nasaries soon realised that to assure their survival they needed a safe stronghold that could keep enemies out. Soon they found the perfect spot with the Sierra Nevada (mountains) on one side and a steep cliff on the other. Extremely difficult for enemies to reach! Here they built a hilltop fortress, with time every ruler came to contribute by building his part of the fortress until “Alhambra” became a palace complex with gardens, palaces, stables, etc.

Alhambra comes from Arabic and means “the red one” . The reason behind the name could be one of two or maybe both, as the earth where Alhambra stands is red, consequently the building itself has a reddish colour. The other reason is that the Berber tribe that ruled from Alhambra was called “al Ahmar”(meaning red in Arabic). The elevation of the palace complex is 738 meters above sea level and the total area is 88.02 km. The name Granada derives from Arabic “Karnata” or “Gharnatah” meaning “hill off strangers”.

Granada, Spain

Muhammad Yusef al Ahmar I.

When Muhammad I and the Nasaries arrived at the Sabina hill, there was already an old settlement there called Elibyrge, from the 5th century b.C.

Another reason this place was chosen was the confluence of four rivers the Darro, the Genil, the Monachil and the Beiro. Thus water in abundance! Alhamra is influenced by Almohad building style. Muhammad the first never saw his palace completed as he died before its finalazation, however his son Muhammad II concluded the construction.

In Muhammad I part of alhamra there are three towers; The broken tower, the Keep and the Watch tower. The Watchtower was used for receiving “mirror signals'' from nearby hills and mountains as an early warning if danger was approaching.

Yusef I.

The part of the palace complexes built by Yusef I is called “ the palace of Comares”. It is without any doubt the most beautiful part of alhamra, it was built to intimidate!

Here is where Yusef would receive Christian emissaries in the hall of ambassadors. What Yusef lacked in military strength he made up for it here intimidating, giving an impression of power.

Yusef's great architectural achievements came to an abrupt end when in October 1354 he was assassinated during his morning prayer, he was only 33 years old.

Court of the lions

Muhammad V.

Later on in the history of the Nasarids, Muhammad V constructed several amazing parts of al hamra but he is most famous for the “patio of the lions”.

He was extremely interested in architecture, as was his christian counterpart; Pedro I.

They had architectural competitions amongst themselves, they were best friends and as long as Pedro I was in power, the Nasarids had nothing to fear.

Nasaries summary:

One important reason the Nasaries cling to power for so long, was their ability to constantly come up with new and fresh strategies as alternatives to military power.

Their creativity reached from secret early warnings by mirror signals, intimidating and giving a false impression of power, to befriending the enemy and sharing their interests.

There were other strategies, not mentioned yet; were diplomatic strategies, confusing the enemies by giving the wrong impression, and possession of information etc.

A new country had emerged in Morocco called Beni Marine. They offered support to Granada in many different ways; military and economic support. This support was essential and prolonged their reign in Granada significantly.

But regrettably, Muhammad VI saw the fall of Alhambra and with it the collapse of the last refuge of the Moorish power in Spain.

The Castilla and Leóns conjugal duo; Isabella and Fernando, had claimed the entire country, and now we enter the aftermath of the fall of al andalus.

Alhambra, Spain

Times of Terror

With the christian advances the Muslims were gradually forced to the south of the country, eventually ending up in Granada. The Christians gave two choices to the Muslims and the Jews in their newly claimed territories, to be killed, or to be exiled. The Nasaries had made many agreements with the Christians, however, each time, the Christians broke their promises and agreements.

At one point, Beni Marine and Beni Ahmar merged their armies, and claimed back a few cities, such as Seville. Unfortunately, these advancements quickly came to an abrupt halt. It was not all futile however, as Yousef Beni Marine took back, and in turn, preserved many of the books in Córdoba, which can be found in a library in Morocco till this day.

The 2nd of February 1492, however, Granada capitulated. Shortly after, the Jews and the Muslims that originated from other countries were exiled; after 800 years they were now considered strangers in their own countries. Many Berber families that returned to Morocco, still have the keys to their forefathers' houses in al Andalus till this day. Their properties and wealth were taken from them.

Alhambra, Granada

The fate of the Moriscos

During the 801 years of Muslim rule, an enormous amount of native Christians had converted to Islam. Their fate was even darker, they were now called “moriscos”; a kind of second degree citizens. As they had nowhere else to go, exile was not an option, leaving them with only death.

A secret police force was set up, similar to Hitlers Gestapo. Their function was to secretly search for any Spanish people that were morisco. The people that were discovered were tortured to death.

They were burned, thrown in boiling water/oil alive, hammered with rusted nails, buried alive, or kept in a black cellar until they got blind, or got their tongues cut out.

Years later, when Napoleon’s army occupied Spain, they said that they were appalled to see how the Spaniards had tortured and killed their own people in such a horrifying way.

As the native Spanish Muslims had nowhere to go, they tried to hide from the secret police.

The terror they must have felt, trying to hide from the secret police in an attempt to avoid being discovered, tortured and killed must have been indescribable.

Many of these moriscos changed their names to “blend in” while trying to escape the horror.

Ex. someone called haddad (arabic for blacksmith), would have called himself Herrero (Castillian spanish for blacksmith). If he were in danger again, he would once more change his name to Ferrer (Catalan for blacksmith). Some of the moriscos that succeeded in escaping retribution, would hide their properties, such as books and identifiable items.

Some of these items have been discovered, while reconstructing old buildings in modern times. As was the case of a lady in Toledo a few years back.

Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Spain

Reflection:

The doors of collectivism and mutual respect had now closed. These doors opened with the arrival of the Moorish 801 years ago.

The doors of a multicultural society with tolerance and acceptance of others. 801 years later, these doors were closed perpetually. Left was mono-cultural, mono-ethnic country. With acceptance of only one religion, a country full of fears with all the limitations brought with it.

The new Spain was looking to finance itself by taxes from the inside, and colonization from the outside. Al Andalus was now dead and Spain crippled.
