Rome's War Against the Jews: Anti-Semitism in the New Testament
( A COMMENTARY BY MONSIEUR J. DURAN ) 12-3-90
Now, we see that the purpose of these insertions into the 'New' ( and improved ) Testament becoming apparent. I myself, have pointed out this part of the strategy before and have known the detailed purpose of the insertions of anti-semitic passages in the N.T. However, being preoccupied with explaining other areas of the war, I have neglected to at least put forth a dissertation which can later be built upon or annotated.
Even though there are quite a few places to find examples of which to expound upon, I will not endeavor to do such a massive work herein. Instead, I will cite a few, and just talk a bit upon how they have indeed been explained away ( to the public ) quite successfully until now, by some religious persons ( I will not call these persons 'scholars' - they are not ). Now, some of these persons have quite simply said, "There are 'not' any anti-semitic references in the N.T., its just that some people 'want' to take them that way." As I said a moment ago, I do not consider the person making this statement a scholar by any means, for he puts study on an opinionated level. In other words, even if it did contain anti-semitic passages, it did not affect him, because he just simply 'would not take it that way.' This type of reasoning is called 'circular' logic, and is not scholarly.
To those persons who 'believe' rather than study ( objectively ), "Truth shall bring each piece of the puzzle to its place, so if you fall short and do not study, but only believe - do not be surprised if truth exposes your shortcomings." This is what Abelard Reuchlin said on the subject of anti-semitism in the N.T., "As the years after 70 ( C.E. ) rolled by, the Jews continued rejecting the ( Jesus ) story. Piso's successive versions became increasingly anti-Jewish. But still he was prohibited by the Flavian emperors from taking the tale to the non-Jews. Then in 96 he and Pliny assassinated Emperor Domitian, second son and last survivor of Vespasian. Nerva became Emperor, named the Pisos to his council, an allowed them to do what they pleased." At that time the 'Jews' ( Pharisees ), were keeping records of their own, with meanings that would not become apparent until all of the rest of the pieces were known. But, then, as we will see, some other things that were written were, quite, apparent. Duringhe time of the war, the Rabbis wrote the Benedictions.
In Benediction 12 ( written about the year 85, when Domitian was Emperor ), we find the statement, "For the renegades let there be no hope, and may the arrogant Kingdom soon be rooted out in our days, and the Nazarenes ( Note: Our ancestors who fought in the great war referred to the followers of 'the Nazarene' i.e., 'Jesus', and therefore meaning the Christians, as the Nazarenes. They used phrases like 'the Minim', 'the Ha'min', or 'the 24 minim' in place of the name 'Piso'. They called Piso 'Hamen' to compare him to the Hamen in Esther ) and the minim perish as in a moment and be blotted out from the book of life and with the righteous may they not be inscribed. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who humblest the arrogant." Who do the Rabbis 'bless' when they say 'O Lord'? The Emperor Domitian! The Pisos retaliate by having the new character Paul come into the story and declare that the law of the Jews is no longer valid.
The Pisos ridicule the Rabbis by being so bold as to write them into the actual 'Gospels' as they go along. I'd like to include in this commentary, a little on the subject of the ridicule of the Rabbis in the N.T., and I'd like to emphasize the importance of studying 'all' of the possible sources of the time - including the N.T. books that were kept out of the canon.
From careful study and comparison, I would thus far conclude that 'The First Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ' was written about the same time as Acts and Luke, which was around the year 95 C.E. In the apocryphal 'Infancy', we find that they have inserted Rabbi ben Dosa ( a student of Zakai ), as 'the son of Hanani, a Jew'. The full name of this Rabbi was 'Hanina' ben Dosa ( Ref. Chap. XIX, 18 and 20 ). They insert Rabbi Gamaliel, the Jewish leader who was the President of the Pharisaic Party and descendant of Hillel. They changed his name around and put him in Acts 22:3, 5:38-39. They have Rabbi Akiba in Acts 11:28, 21:10. And they have the Jewish commander, Eliezer ben Yair, who died fighting the Pisos in 73 C.E., as 'Jairus' ( Roman form of 'Yair' ), in Mark 5:22.
Abelard Reuchlin, in his 'The True Authorship of the New Testament', says, "More vengeance was wrought by Piso by his picturing the Jews, in successive gospels, as increasingly evil." In Matthew, chapter 23 ( the newer version written about the year 75 C.E. ), Piso has his character 'Jesus' to repeatedly call the Scribes and Pharisees hypocrites & vipers. In Matthew 3:7, the Pisos take another swipe at the Jews. This time, they have it done in the character of John the Baptist. In Luke 3:7, again it is John the Baptist who raises anti-semitism, only this time, on a broader, more inclusive level. Then in Acts 23:12, they have it that 'the Jews' have formed a conspiracy to kill Paul. When the Gospel of John was written ( by Fabius Justus Calpernius Piso aka 'Justin Martyr' ), in the year 105, Justus has the character 'Jesus' to tell the Jews ( in his story ), "You are of your father the devil." What Abelard Reuchlin says on the subject is, "The N.T. pictures the Jews as the enemies of Jesus, of Paul, anof the message of the Gospel." With these statements placed in the gospels, they could then be used as a catalyst within the new churches to rally the gentile masses to war against the Jews! I have by no means here touched upon all of the anti-semitic passages in the N.T., nor would I want to here in this short commentary, the purpose is to show the war of the time in its proper context. And, most importantly, to advise you that the war is not yet over!!! Now, while the Romans were instigating & proliferating anti-semitism in the churches, the Rabbis were writing & the scribes were copying and hiding the writings so that one day the truth would be known.
Rabbi Akiba wrote; "Tithes are a fence around riches, vows are a fence around abstinence; a fence around wisdom is Silence." Of course we know what he is referring to when he says 'tithes', he is alluding to that device of the Christian Church. The money raised went into the 'war' fund ( The Roman Rulers were already rich beyond belief by virtue of inheritance, taxes, tributes, and now by receiving 10% of all the converts' income ). When Rabbi Akiba and Simon bar Kokhba lead the revolt of 132-135 C.E., they had a commemorative coin struck in honorable remembrance of Eleazar ben Yair, who had died fighting the Romans at Masada in 73 C.E., it also served to help stir people to help in the cause.
Now, when you go to look at and study the New Testament, and you come across those things that had at one time seemed vague or obscure - you may realize that it was all written for a purpose, but maybe now you'll wonder for 'what' purpose. It just seems that people keep blocking out the fact that the New Testament was written at a time when there was a war going on. We, the inner-circle of Jews, have lived a great many years with this heavy burden upon us. This recalls what that one Jewish medieval writer, Rabbi Duran had said, "And it would appear that it was God's ( meaning: 'Caesar' ) intention to destroy all those equivocating ( meaning: using ambiguous or unclear expressions to either avoid commitment, or to deliberately mislead ) anussism ( 'anussim', being of 'the ring' or 'the circle'. Taking the two words together, 'equivocating the circle', meaning: 'alluding to the inner-circle'), who acted as if they had invented a new law unto themselves, but whose end proves that they did not die the death martyrs, for when asked in which religion they wished to die, they chose Christianity in order to die the easier death. They died with the cross in their hands, and only a small number of them, most of whom were women, died as 'Jews'."
How is it that something this fantastic ( by the mind of the outer-circle ), could have possibly happened and still have been hid for all of these years? In the days of the great war, nobody wrote anything without Caesar's permission by penalty of death. The Rabbis risked death to leave us some measure to go by. Down through 'history', the Caesars continued to rule, changing their names every so often. They made the public 'think' that Rome fell. By the way, another way that you can check to find that these statements are true is to look and find that 'all' of the Caesars were in fact related to each other, that's right, they hid the fact that they were just one great big family ruling. They did this for the same reason that they always had, so that the masses would not know to what degree they were really subject. There has always been a need to let the subjects think that they are free to some extent. So, the family and their relatives lived on down through history. They ruled with Constantine at e mast-head, they ruled by the name 'Merovingian', a branch of the family wrote a new book based upon the 'Jesus' story, and they ruled through the prophet Muhammad. This branch carried some of their rule into Spain.
The Merovingian rule survived in the person of Charlemagne. And, the descendants of Charlemagne went on to rule in France and England. And a branch went on to rule in Russia as the 'Czars' (meaning 'Caesar'.) The family had a tight reign on all that was written up until about the seventeenth century. There were several co-lateral branches of the family ruling various places for centuries. In Germany, they were called 'Kaisers' ('Caesars'.) Much of the family went to rally around Hitler, to impose an all encompassing censorship reinstatement.
This was the Third Reich of the Holy Roman Empire, who wanted to destroy all of the Jews of the world, so that the rule of the family would never be exposed.
