" JESUS & JAMES SECRET "

ST.JAMES THE JUST OF JERUSALEM

 The original teachings of Jesus and James along with the rituals of the Jerusalem Church were lost, buried under the ruins of Herod's Temple, until 1118 when the Templars dug them up. A copy of one of the documents they recovered was made by Lambert of St Omer and survives in Ghent University, it shows James as both the pillars of the New Jerusalem.

The scrolls were taken to Scotland for safe keeping and passed into the care of the St Clair family of Rosslyn. When the Templars were destroyed in 1307 a sizeable remnant fled to Scotland and became firmly established at Rosslyn, where the St Clair's became hereditary Grand Masters. In 1446 William St Clair almost lost the scrolls in a fire at the castle and so he decided to build a permanent home for them in a copy of Herod's Temple which is now known as Rosslyn Chapel. The ground plan of the chapel is an exact copy of the ground plan of Herod's Temple, which was not known to archaeologists until the Wilson expedition of 1890. Above ground the building is a copy of the Heavenly Jerusalem shown in Lambert's copy of one of the scrolls. Sir William founded Freemasonry to preserve the secrets of the hiding of these scrolls and to carry the clues for their eventual recovery. He hid these clues within the verbal ritual he developed for Freemasonry, from the rituals the Templars had learned from the scrolls of Jesus and James.

We have every reason to believe that the scrolls are still buried where Sir William put them and we continue to support an archaeological excavation to recover them .

Possible Contents of the Scrolls

In tracing the history of the scrolls we have been able to deduce some of their possible contents from the effects they have had on the development of society.

1. The growth of science stems directly from the instruction to better know God's work by studying the hidden mysteries of nature and science. This led to the founding of the Royal Society by Freemasons.

2. The development of democracy via Magna Carta, the Declaration of Arbroath, the founding of Parliament and the writing of the American Constitution all stemmed from the type of organisations developed by the Templars and improved by their successors the Freemasons, using the knowledge of the teachings of the scrolls about equality in the sight of God.

3. The encouragement towards self improvement, by building within oneself a spiritual Temple to the glory of God, and the encouragement of charitable support for the needy is the basis of the teaching of Ma'at which has characterised the transmission of these secrets from Seqeuenre Tao via the Line of David to Jesus and James and finally to the Templars/Freemasons.

Comment

For many scientifically trained people the supernatural overtones of the Christian story detract from the spiritual lessons the Church has to offer. A God who can and does interfere with the laws of physics has to be omnipotent and hence cannot also be a loving God.

The teachings of Jesus, we have found during this research, show him to be greatest prophet to have ever lived but that even he did not believe himself to be God. He has provided the insights and teachings which have led to the present development of scientific democracy but these teachings have survived not because of the efforts of the Church but despite its attempts to suppress them since the Council of Nicea.

For a loving God who wishes to encourage the spiritual development of people whilst still allowing the freedom to reject Him this seems to be a very effective way of influencing and encouraging people without forcing conformity.

The Jewish model of the two earthly pillars of king and priest working together to provide the stability of the heavenly keystone of God stills seems to have a lot to offer and we suspect that if we ever uncover the scrolls of the Jerusalem Church of Jesus and James this is one of the possible insights into the nature of God that they will provide us with.

  

 

Ark of the Covenant 

Jesus brother James became a much more important man than he in the Jerusalem Church.  After the killing of James, and before the final destruction of the Temple, some of the Nazarene priesthood fled first to Greece, then from there they scattered through Europe. They briefly returned to the destroyed city to recover the remains of someone they knew as "the saviour", and took these to Greece from where in AD 600 they returned the bones to beneath the Temple, the safest place to hide them, as no one was allowed to be buried within the confines of the Temple.  Under the ruins of the Temple they say are many chambers and the walls of these chambers are written the genealogies of the children of the priests of the Temple, tracing their lineage back to David and Aaron.

The group of survivors (taking several designations, or names, or Orders as they split apart) and they survived the persecutions of the Jews by adopting the religious practices of the lands in which they settled, provided they were only required to express a belief in one true God.  They believe they were preserving the bloodlines of the two Messiahs of David and Aaron, who would one day arrive and establish the kingdom of God on earth.

This story was passed on the knowledge of the artifacts concealed beneath the Temple   from father to chosen son (not necessarily the eldest).  They would know each other by the genealogies they each possessed.

In the twelfth century a hypothesis emerged that linked the Knights Templar with the events of first century Jerusalem. Some of the families involved were the Counts of Champagne, Lords of Gisors, Lords of Payens, Counts of Fontaine, Counts of Anjou, de Boullion, St Clairs of Roslin, Brienne, Joinville, Chaumont, St Clair de Gisor, St Clair de Neg and the Hapsburgs.  If the Templars did excavate and recover the treasure that was their birthright  it would be done at exactly the time that the Jewish writer of the Gospel of John the Divine had predicted.

Once Jerusalem was conquered the non-members of the families involved were removed to insure that there would be no obstruction in their endeavour to regain what their ancestors had left for them. Godfrey de Boullion died first and Baldwin I died after several years of refusing the Templars the right to excavate.  Then the fight to change the patriarch around all happened as well.  Baldwin I's cousin, Baldwin II, was crowned King of Jerusalem in 1118 and the excavation was on.  Recovery of coins, gold and silver vessels, and several scrolls was made, but the knights were illiterate and could recognize only a few words of French, let alone these Aramaic and Greek texts.  The scrolls were taken to Lambert St Omer who was able to understand everything his eyes lighted upon.  St Omer made a copy of the depiction of Heavenly Jerusalem, was caught and murdered for copying a scroll without permission. They never found the copy. It exits today in the Ghent University Library.

"The Grand-Pontiffs of this sect [the Johannites] took the title of Christ, and laid claim to an unbroken chain of succession in their office. At the time of the foundation of the Order of the Temple (AD 1118), the Grand-Pontiff was named Theocletes; he was acquainted with Hugo de Payens [the Templar Grand Master] and initiated him into the mysteries and privileges of his Church, promising him the sovereign priesthood and supreme government, finally designating him as his successor."

During the next seventeen years, more than ninety monasteries were established by Bernard of Clairvaux [St Bernard] and the Templars went on to be involved in the design and building of churches and preceptories across Europe as well as eighty great cathedrals, the most famous of which is Chartres.
