WHY WE WELCOME YOU TO THE INNER CIRCLE

The INNER CIRCLE or INNER RING is the most exclusive club in history.

It has consisted of those:

• religious
• political
• literary

leaders having knowledge of the GREAT SECRET:

that the Calpurnius Piso family of ancient Rome created:

• the fictional Jesus
• the New Testament
• the Church

and Christianity.

In welcoming the general public to this knowledge, the following introduction is appropriate. 

Originally, this explanation was designed solely for Jews –for the purpose of preventing their conversion to Christianity.

It was not intended for Christians nor other non-Jews.

No exclusivism was intended; rather, concern for the faith of others.

The purpose of this booklet was to inform Jewish-Christians and Jewish Jews of the true account of the creation of Christianity.

In the first century A.D., Jews were 10% of the population of the Roman Empire.

Today, after 1900 years of:

• suffering persecution
• forced conversion
• exiling
• murder

and finally, the Holocaust, the Jews are but 1/4 of 1% of the world’s population.

And today Jews are being attacked by modern versions of the age-old problems.

Firstly, there are a number of groups of what are called “Messianic Jews” or “Hebrew Christians” or “Completed Jews” whose leaders are engaged in the twofold business of:

(1) collecting money from Christians, their churches, and their Christian organizations

(2) using the money thus collected to evangelize the more confused and/or unsophisticated of their Jewish brethren into changing their religious affiliation to become Christians.

Secondly, still today other “Christian” groups continue to manipulate their readers and listeners by preaching hatred toward Jews.

Some attack Jews by attacking the State of Israel.

They claim the Holocaust was a lie created by Jews to justify Israel.

They continuously present the account of the 1967 wartime attack on the USS Liberty, with their cry of Jewish “conspiracy.”

Other groups claim that they, white Christian Americans, are somehow descended from the Northern Ten Tribes who were carried off by Assyria in 720 B.C.; and that they, and not Jews, are modern-day Israel; and that Jews are Satanic rejecters of Christ and have no right to exist.

All this is done in the name of Christ (while the money continues pouring in!!)

This hatred toward Jews seems reasonable to many only because 1900 years of stereotyping Jews has Conditioned Popular thinking to its acceptance.

The hatred was deliberately created by the authors of the New Testament, as this booklet shows. 

Thirdly, our Arab cousins have seized upon the world-wide negative image of the Jews to likewise manipulate for power.

They and their Communist friends dominate the U.N. so that it spends 50% of its total time attacking Israel by every conceivable excuse.

Many Christians (as well as Jews) have wondered at this continued manipulation of hatred. 

Christians have also wondered at just why the Jews did reject Jesus.

They have doubted the Jesus story; but there were no answers available for their questions.

Many have been clearly pleased to obtain and read this explanation.

Therefore, it is to seekers of truth of all POSSible PERsuasions that we respectfully submit the information in this booklet.

PRAISE PISO!

A Challenging Proposal–If any group or person should feel its sincerity and/or honesty is being unfairly attacked by this booklet or should wish to challenge this thesis, we stand ready to publicly debate on the issues:

(a) the actual authorship of the New Testament

(b) the proof that leaders know this great secret and use the information (which is code) in their writings.

I. THE GREAT SECRET–“FOR THERE IS NOTHING COVERED THAT WILL NOT BE REVEALED” (Mat. 10.26)

• The New Testament
• the Church
• Christianity

were all the creation of the Calpurnius Piso (pronounced Peso) [1] family, who were Roman aristocrats.

The New Testament and all the characters in it:

• Jesus
• all the Josephs
• all the Marys
• all the disciples
• apostles
• Paul

and John the Baptist –are all fictional.

The Pisos created the story and the characters; they tied the story into a specific time and place in history; and they connected it with some peripheral actual people, such as:

• the Herods
• Gamaliel
• the Roman procurators

etc.

But Jesus and everyone involved with him were created (that is, fictional!) characters.

In the middle of the first century of the present era, Rome’s aristocracy felt itself confronted with a growing problem.

The Jewish religion was continuing to grow in numbers, adding ever more proselytes.

Jews numbered more than 8,000,000 and were 10% of the population of the empire and 20% of that portion living east of Rome. [2]

Approximately half or more of the Jews lived outside Palestine, of which many were descended from proselytes, male and female. [3]

However, Judaism’s ethics and morality were incompatible with the hallowed Roman institution of slavery on which the aristocracy:

• fed
• lived
• ruled

They feared that Judaism would become the chief religion of the empire.

The Roman author, Annaeus Seneca, tutor and confidant of Emperor Nero, suggested in a letter to his friend Lucilius (a pseudonym of Lucius Piso) that lighting candles on Sabbaths be prohibited. [4]

Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus (/ˈnɪəroʊ/ NEER-oh; born Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus; 15 December AD 37 – 9 June AD 68) was a Roman emperor and the final emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, reigning from AD 54 until his death in AD 68.

Seneca is later quoted by St. Augustine in his City of God5 (although the quotation does not exist in Seneca’s extant writings) as charging that:

“The (Sabbath) customs of that most accursed nation have gained such strength that they have been now received in all lands, the conquered have given laws to the conqueror.”

The family headed by Seneca’s friend, Lucius Piso, was confronted with an allied problem more personal to it.

Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus (48 BC – AD 32) was a prominent Roman senator of the early Empire. His tenure as pontifex led him sometimes to be called Lucius Calpurnius Piso Pontifex, to differentiate him from his contemporary, Lucius Calpurnius Piso the Augur, consul in 1 BC. He was a confidant of the emperors Augustus and Tiberius.

They were the Calpurnius Pisos, who were descended from statesmen and consuls, and from great poets and historians as well.

Gaius Lucius Calpurnius Piso, the leader of the family, had married Arria the younger (from her grandfather’s name, Aristobulus).

This made Lucius Piso’s wife the great-granddaughter of Herod the Great.

Herod I or Herod the Great (c. 72 BCE – c. 4 BCE) was a Roman Jewish client king of the Herodian Kingdom of Judea. He is known for his colossal building projects throughout Judea. Among these works are the rebuilding of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the expansion of its base —the Western Wall being part of it. Vital details of his life are recorded in the works of the 1st century CE Roman–Jewish historian Josephus.

Repeatedly, religious-minded Judaean zealots were staging insurrections against the Herodian rulers of Judaea who were Piso’s wife’s relations.

Piso wished to strengthen his wife’s family’s control of the Judaeans.

The Pisos searched for a solution to the two problems.

They found it in the Jewish holy books, which were the foundation both for the rapid spread of the religion and for the zealots’ refusal to be governed by Rome’s puppets.

The Pisos mocked, but marveled at, the Jewish belief in their holy books.

Therefore, they felt a new “Jewish” book would be the ideal method to pacify the Judaeans and strengthen their in-laws’ control of the country.

About the year, 60 A.D., Lucius Calpurnius Piso composed Ur Marcus, the first version of the Gospel of Mark, which no longer exists.

He was encouraged by his friend Senecca and assisted by his wife’s kinsman, young Persius the poet.

Aulus Persius Flaccus (/ˈpɜːrʃiəs, ˈpɜːrʃəs/; 4 December 34 – 24 November 62 AD) was a Roman poet and satirist of Etruscan origin. In his works, poems and satires, he shows a Stoic wisdom and a strong criticism for what he considered to be the stylistic abuses of his poetic contemporaries. His works, which became very popular in the Middle Ages, were published after his death by his friend and mentor, the Stoic philosopher Lucius Annaeus Cornutus.

Nero’s mistress (later his wife) Poppea was pro-Jewish, and Nero opposed the plan.

Poppaea Sabina (30 AD – 65 AD), also known as Ollia, was a Roman empress as the second wife of the emperor Nero. She had also been wife to the future emperor Otho. The historians of antiquity describe her as a beautiful woman who used intrigues to become empress. The large Villa Poppaea at Oplontis near Pompeii bears her name because of the archaeological finds there. It has been largely excavated and can be visited today.

The result was the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero, detailed in the historian Tacitus.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus, known simply as Tacitus (/ˈtæsɪtəs/ TAS-it-əs, Latin: [ˈtakɪtʊs]; c. AD 56 – c. 120), was a Roman historian and politician. Tacitus is widely regarded as one of the greatest Roman historians by modern scholars.

But this attempt failed when he aborted the plot.

Instead, Nero had Piso and Seneca, and their fellow conspirators executed by forcing them to commit suicide.

He exiled Piso’s young son Arrius (spelled “Arius” herein), who appears in Tacitus under several names, including “Antonius Natalis”. [6]

Nero sent young Piso to Syria as governer.

That post also gave him command of the legions controlling Judaea.

His own “history” records his service in Judaea in the year 65 under the name of Gessius Florus, and in 66 with the pseudonym Cestius Gallus.

This Arius Calpurnius Piso deliberately provoked the Jewish revolt in 66 so he could destroy the Temple in Jerusalem–for the Jews were unwilling to accept his father’s story and thereby become pacified by it as was intended. [7]

However, his 12th Legion was caught by the zealots in the Pass of Beth Horon and almost lost.

Nero’s reaction was to exile him instead to Pannonia, to command a legion there; and to send Licinius Mucianus to serve in Syria, and Vespasian to Judaea to put down the Jewish revolt.

7. Having destroyed the Temple, Piso could then have Jesus (whom he was predating to 40 years before the Temple’s destruction) prophecy the destruction because of the Jews’ rejection of him! (Mat. 23.37-38)

---

Then in 68 Nero was assassinated by his own slave Epaphroditus[8]–who unknown to his master was young Piso’s lackey.

Tiberius Claudius Epaphroditus or Epaphroditos (Greek: Ἐπαφρόδιτος; born c. 20–25 – died c. 95), was a freedman and secretary of the Roman Emperor Nero. He was later executed by Domitian for failing to prevent Nero’s suicide.

Galba (/ˈɡælbə/ GAL-bə; born Servius Sulpicius Galba; 24 December 3 BC – 15 January AD 69) was Roman emperor, ruling for 7 months from 8 June AD 68 to 15 January 69. He was the first emperor in the Year of the Four Emperors and assumed the throne following Emperor Nero’s suicide.  Born into a wealthy family, Galba held at various times the positions of praetor, consul, and governor to the provinces of Gallia Aquitania, Germania Superior, and Africa during the first half of the first century AD. He retired from his positions during the latter part of Claudius’ reign (with the advent of Agrippina the Younger), but Nero later granted him the governorship of Hispania. Taking advantage of the defeat of Vindex’s rebellion and Nero’s suicide, he became emperor with the support of the Praetorian Guard.  Galba’s physical weakness and general apathy led to his rule being dominated by favorites. Unable to gain popularity with the people or maintain the support of the Praetorian Guard, Galba was murdered on the orders of Otho, who became emperor in his place.

Galba became emperor and named Piso’s cousin, Licinianus Piso [9], as his intended successor; but Galba in turn was soon overthrown by Otho.

Otho (/ˈoʊθoʊ/ OH-tho; born Marcus Salvius Otho; 28 April 32 – 16 April 69) was Roman emperor, ruling for three months from 15 January to 16 April 69. He was the second emperor of the Year of the Four Emperors.  A member of a noble Etruscan family, Otho was initially a friend and courtier of the young emperor Nero until he was effectively banished to the governorship of the remote province of Lusitania in 58 following his wife Poppaea Sabina’s affair with Nero. After a period of moderate rule in the province, he allied himself with Galba, the governor of neighbouring Hispania Tarraconensis, during the revolts of 68. He accompanied Galba on his march to Rome, but revolted and murdered Galba at the start of the next year.  Inheriting the problem of the rebellion of Vitellius, commander of the army in Germania Inferior, Otho led a sizeable force which met Vitellius’ army at the Battle of Bedriacum. After initial fighting resulted in 40,000 casualties, and a retreat of his forces, Otho committed suicide rather than fight on, and Vitellius was proclaimed emperor.

Otho was then overthrown by Vitellius–at which point Piso and his friends began to flock together against the latter.

Aulus Vitellius (/vɪˈtɛliəs/ vih-TELL-ee-əs; Latin: [ˈau̯lʊs wɪˈtɛlːijʊs]; 24 September 15 – 20 December 69) was Roman emperor for eight months, from 19 April to 20 December AD 69. Vitellius became emperor following the quick succession of the previous emperors Galba and Otho, in a year of civil war known as the Year of the Four Emperors. Vitellius added the honorific Germanicus to his name instead of Caesar upon his accession. Like his predecessor, Otho, Vitellius attempted to rally public support to his cause by honoring and imitating Nero who remained popular in the empire.

The Pisos and Vespasian and Mucianus and Tiberius Alexander (Philo’s nephew) all joined ranks behind Vespasian to seek to overthrow Vitellius. [10]

Arius Calpurnius Piso was still commanding the 7th Legion in Pannonia [11] (Austria-Hungary), and Vespasian sent him (now appearing in Tacitus with the name Marcus Antonius Primus) [12] south across the Alps to overthrow Vitellius.

Meanwhile, the main body of Vespasian’s legions marched overland under Mucianus from the east towards Rome.

Piso succeeded in defeating Vitellius’ army and secured Rome for Vespasian. [13]

Vespasian (/vɛsˈpeɪʒ(i)ən, -ziən/; Latin: Vespasianus [wɛspasiˈaːnʊs]; 17 November AD 9 – 23 June 79) was Roman emperor from 69 to 79. The last emperor to reign in the Year of the Four Emperors, he founded the Flavian dynasty, which ruled the Empire for 27 years. His fiscal reforms and consolidation of the empire brought political stability and a vast building program.

Mucianus arrived and promptly sent him to Judaea to help Titus at the siege of Jerusalem.

Titus Caesar Vespasianus (/ˈtaɪtəs/ TY-təs; 30 December 39 – 13 September AD 81) was Roman emperor from 79 to 81. A member of the Flavian dynasty, Titus succeeded his father Vespasian upon his death, becoming the first Roman emperor to succeed his biological father.

He did so, and in 70 they assaulted the city, then the Temple, burned it, slaughtered many thousands, sent thousands more to slavery and gladiatorial combat and death.

Then, Arius Calpurnius Piso wrote, in sequence, the following:

Gospel of Matthew 70-75 C.E

Present Gospel of Mark 75-80 C.E.

Gospel of Luke (with help of Pliny the Younger) 85-90 C.E.

In the gospel story he inserted himself by playing the role not only of Jesus, but of all the Josephs, as well.

He particularly enjoyed assuming the identity of Joseph.

Wishing to create a Jewish hero, a savior, in fictional form, he (and his father before him), felt the identity of a second Joseph secretly, but very aptly, fit them.

For their name Piso had the same four letters, rearranged, as the four Hebrew letters (Yud, Vov, Samech, Fey) which in that language spelled the name Joseph.

Thus, they saw themselves as the new Joseph.

That is why so much of the story of Joseph in Egypt is secretly redone and inserted into the gospel story of Jesus.

8. Roman historians (Suet. Nero 49, and Dio Cassius 63.29) explain merely that Epaphroditus assisted the emperor’s suicide. See also Tacitus, Annals XV.55, footnote 2
9. Tacitus, Histories I. 14
10. Ibid iI. 74-81
11. Ibid III. 2 footnote 1
12. III.6. The realization that Marcus Antonius Primus was a pseudonym of Arius Calpurnius Piso is based on these factors:

(1) The name in Pliny’s letters under which Piso the latter’s wife’s grandfather is Arius Antoninus. (2) According to Suetonius (Lives of the Caesars, Book IV. XXV), Emperor Gaius Caligula appropriated Gaius Piso’s wife at Piso’s marriage. That would have been about the year 36–the year before Arius’ birth. Caligula is known to have been a descendant of Mark Anthony (Marcus Antonius). Seemingly Suetonius was teasing at the questioned paternity of Piso’s alter ego creation.
(3) Tacitus’ caustic descriptions of Marcus Antonius Primus remind one of Piso.
(4) The idea to call Piso “Antonius Primus”–was his own. It was Piso himself in his Jewish War IV.495 who first detailed Antonius Primus’ campaign for Vespasian against Vitellius. Also Josephus inserts “Antonius” (himself!) as a centurion who dies at the capture Jotapata (Jewish War III.333).
(5) Marcus Antonius Primus’ colleague in the campaign against Vitellius is named Arrius Varus (Tacitus, Histories Ili.6.). This is yet another alter ego of Piso himself. In the mid-50’s, while in his late teens, young Piso was a prefect of a cohort of legionnaires in the campaign against Vologeses, King of Armenia–serving there (in Tacitus Annals XIII.9) under the name Arrius Varius. (6) His exploits as General Marcus Antonius Primus account for his absence from Judaea in the years 67-69–between his defeat as Cestius Gallus and his reappearing to assist Titus at the siege of Jerusalem in 70. Rather than being Vespasian’s prisoner in chains, he was his general, advancing on Rome in his behalf.

The Jewish Joseph (of Genesis)

• 12 brothers
• Spices on the camels
• Joseph flees without his cloak from Potiphar’s wife
• Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver
• Brother Judah suggests the sale
• Background was Egypt, bondage and slaying of the first-born Background was flight to Egypt to avoid Herod’s slaying of the male children (Mt.2.13,16) Miriam is sister of Moses, whose story is sequel to that of Joseph.

The second Joseph (Jesus)

• 12 disciples
• Spices with the Magi
• The young disciple flees without his cloak when Jesus is arrested.
• Jesus is sold for 30 pieces of silver
• Judas sells Jesus
• Mariam is Jesus’ mother

The Jesus figure which Piso creates is a composite.

He inserts redrawn elements from Joseph in Egypt and other Jews of the Bible; elements from Essenic writings; and characteristics of various pagan gods.

Piso plagiarized the Hebrew scriptures.

Especially, he loved and borrowed freely from the prophet Isaiah, whose 44th chapter was most helpful.

Isaiah (UK: /aɪˈzaɪ.ə/ or US: /aɪˈzeɪ.ə/; Hebrew: יְשַׁעְיָהוּ‎, Yəšaʿyāhū, “Yahweh is salvation”; also known as Isaias or Esaias from Greek: Ἠσαΐας) was the 8th-century BC Israelite prophet after whom the Book of Isaiah is named.

Piso’s idea to make Jesus a god to whom to bow, worship and pray came from Isaiah 44.17; and the idea to (… missed text …) prophecies in the Gospel of John, and in the writings of the church fathers.

The “prophecies” fit Jesus for the same reason Cinderella’s slippers fit her feet. 

Jesus’ story was deliberately written in such a way that it would fulfill the prophecies.

In addition to creating Jesus in literature, Piso created for himself another famous literary role, that of a purported Jewish general and then historian:

Flavius Josephus (/dʒoʊˈsiːfəs/; Greek: Ἰώσηπος, Iṓsēpos; c. AD 37 – c. 100) or Yosef ben Mattityahu (Hebrew: יוסף בן מתתיהו) was a Roman–Jewish historian and military leader. Best known for writing The Jewish War, he was born in Jerusalem—then part of the Roman province of Judea—to a father of priestly descent and a mother who claimed royal ancestry.

Flavius Josephus.

As Josephus, he contended he had bravely led his fellow Jews in the war in defending Galilee against the Roman invaders!

However, like Jesus, Josephus came only in literature, that is, in Piso’s own writings.

Under his fictional name of Flavius Josephus, he also wrote, during these approximate years the following:

• The Jewish War 75-80 C.E.
• Jewish Antiquities (Jewish Archaeology) 90-93 C.E.
• His purported autobiography entitled Vita in Latin (which would be Bios in Greek)–which is also fictional 96-103 C.E.
• Contra Apionem 103-105 C.E.

Piso is known publicly in history only under his pen name of Flavius Josephus.

He does not appear as Arius Calpurnius Piso.

His true identity is decipherable only by reconstruction.

With his father’s death at Nero’s hands in 65, the Pisos vanish from public Roman history.

For the next 73 years they are busy writing the NT and tightening their power over the known world; but they appear only under alias names.

Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Pius (19 September AD 86 – 7 March 161) was Roman emperor from AD 138 to 161. He was the fourth of the Five Good Emperors from the Nerva–Antonine dynasty.  Born into a senatorial family, Antoninus held various offices during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. He married Hadrian’s niece Faustina, and Hadrian adopted him as his son and successor shortly before his death. Antoninus acquired the cognomen Pius after his accession to the throne, either because he compelled the Senate to deify his adoptive father, or because he had saved senators sentenced to death by Hadrian in his later years. His reign is notable for the peaceful state of the Empire, with no major revolts or military incursions during this time. A successful military campaign in southern Scotland early in his reign resulted in the construction of the Antonine Wall.  Antoninus was an effective administrator, leaving his successors a large surplus in the treasury, expanding free access to drinking water throughout the Empire, encouraging legal conformity, and facilitating the enfranchisement of freed slaves. He died of illness in AD 161 and was succeeded by his adopted sons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus as co-emperors.

They reappear as a family with Piso’s grandson Antoninus as emperor in 138 and are thereafter known chiefly as the Antonines–but not as the Pisos!

II. THE JEWS REJECT THE STORY–HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT (John 1.11)

His mother’s people rejected his tale and with good reason.

They well knew he had destroyed their Temple and City and slaughtered their people because of his senseless hatred (John 15.25); and that he was now the author of the new fiction by which Rome was hoping to control the Judaean masses.

They also knew that while finishing the Gospel of Matthew and writing his account of the war entitled the Jewish War, he was the Roman general who in 73 destroyed the last three Jewish outposts:

• Machaerus
• Herodion

and then Masada.

In the semi-fictional story of the war which he wrote he gave himself, as conqueror of Masada, the fictional name Flavius Silva. [1]

He knew the details of the siege of Masada intimately because he was the the one who conducted it.

He wrote that the defenders who committed suicide totaled 9602 because (as the explanation later of his code system will explain) 600 stood for Christ, 300 stood for the Cross, and 60 stood for the name Calpurnius Piso.

Then he inserted into the Gospel of Mark after the year 75 the fallen commander of Masada, Eliezer ben Yair. [3]

He makes him Jairus, in Mark 5.22.

Then he puts him into Luke 8.41 as Lazarus.

He was teasing that he, Piso, because his alter ego creation was Jesus, could heal and raise from the dead, whereas the Jews had been forced by him to perish at Masada.

Because of the destruction in the war, Judaea after 70 was desolate and underpopulated.

With little left to tax, the Herodian aristocracy had gone to Rome permanently to live.

The Sadducaean priesthood, appointees and in laws of the Herods, were dead at the revolutionaries’ hands, and the remainder scattered to Rome.

Even the Essenic visionaries in the desert were dead–at Piso’s hand.

The only surviving Judaean leadership were the non-political or fence straddling Pharisees, who after 70 changed their names to rabbis.

The remaining Judaeans looked to them for guidance.

Their leader, Yohanan ben Zakkai, had obtained Vespasian’s permission to establish a school at Yavneh.

Yohanan ben Zakkai[a] (Hebrew: יוֹחָנָן בֶּן זַכַּאי, romanized: Yōḥānān ben Zakkaʾy; 1st century CE), sometimes abbreviated as ריב״ז‎ ribaz for Rabbi Yohanan ben Zakkai, was a tanna, an important Jewish sage during the late Second Temple period during the transformative post-destruction era. He was a primary contributor to the core text of Rabbinic Judaism, the Mishnah. His name is often preceded by the honorific title Rabban. He is widely regarded as one of the most important Jewish figures of his time, and his escape from the Roman destruction of Jerusalem (which allowed him to continue teaching) may have been instrumental in Rabbinic Judaism’s survival post-Temple. His tomb is located in Tiberias within the Maimonides burial compound.  Yohanan was the first Jewish sage attributed the title of rabbi in the Mishnah.

In return the rabbis now taught pacifism and accommodation to Vespasian’s imperial wishes.

But unlike the Herods before them, they were not fully practical.

For they refused to accommodate Piso’s wishes as to religion.

They refused to instruct their people to accept his story. (… some words missed …) the little man up in the sycamore tree in Luke chapter 19, who becomes a follower of Jesus.

Rabbi Gamliel (Gamaliel) is inserted not only as the teacher of Paul (Acts 22.3) but also as the speaker at the Council of Jerusalem warning that the apostles should be let alone (Acts 5.38-39).

Paul (Koinē Greek: Παῦλος, romanized: Paûlos), also named Saul of Tarsus (Aramaic: ܫܐܘܠ, romanized: Šāʾūl), commonly known as Paul the Apostle and Saint Paul, was a Christian apostle (c. 5 – c. 64/65 AD) who spread the teachings of Jesus in the first-century world. For his contributions towards the New Testament, he is generally regarded as one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age, and he also founded several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Europe from the mid-40s to the mid-50s AD.

Even Rabbi Akiva would be added to Acts:

Akiva ben Joseph (Mishnaic Hebrew: עֲקִיבָא בֶּן יוֹסֵף, ʿĂqīḇāʾ ben Yōsēp̄; c. 50 – 28 September 135 CE), also known as Rabbi Akiva (רַבִּי עֲקִיבָא), was a leading Jewish scholar and sage, a tanna of the latter part of the first century and the beginning of the second. Rabbi Akiva was a leading contributor to the Mishnah and to Midrash halakha. He is referred to in Tosafot as Rosh la-Hakhamim (“Chief of the Sages”). He was executed by the Romans in the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt.

as Agabus (Acts 11.28 and 21.10) and as Sceva (Acts 19.14).

Agabus (/ˈæɡəbəs/; Greek: Ἄγαβος, romanized: Hágabos; Syriac: ܚܓܒ, romanized: Ḥagabo) was an early follower of Christianity from Syria mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as a prophet. He is traditionally remembered as one of the Seventy Disciples described in Luke 10:1–24

More vengeance was wrought by Piso by his picturing the Jews, in the successive gospels, as increasingly evil.

In Matthew chapter 23, Jesus repeatedly calls the scribes and Pharisees hypocrites and even vipers–but does not include the people.

In Matthew 3.7, also, the Pharisees and Sadducees are called offspring of vipers—this time by John the Baptist.

John the Baptist (c. 1st century BC – c. AD 30) was a Jewish preacher active in the area of the Jordan River in the early 1st century AD.[19][20] He is also known as Saint John the Forerunner in Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy, John the Immerser in some Baptist Christian traditions, Saint John by certain Catholic churches, and Prophet Yahya in Islam. He is sometimes alternatively referred to as John the Baptizer.

But by the time of Luke 3.7, it is not merely the leaders but the crowds whom John the Baptist calls the offspring of vipers.

And in Acts 23.12 (written 96-100) it is “the Jews” (and not merely the Pharisees or Sadducees) who form conspiracy to kill Paul.

By the time of the Gospel of John (year 105), the author (Piso’s son, Justus) has Jesus tell the Jews who challenge him,

“You are of (your) father devil…” (John 8.44)

Even when Piso absolves the villains of culpability– 

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” (Luke 23.34)

–it is the Roman soldiers, and not the Jews, whom he excuses.

It was true that none of the actors knew what–because none of the fictional characters could be present to observe the writing of the story!

The N.T. pictures the Jews as the enemies of Jesus, of Paul, and of the message of the Gospel.

Proculus (died c. 281) was a Roman usurper, one of the “minor pretenders” according to Historia Augusta, who would have taken the purple against Emperor Probus in 280. This is now disputed.

Piso’s son Proculus, writing the Epistle to the Romans, in 11.28 explained the reason why the Jews were being pictured as the enemies of the new believers:

“As concerning the gospel (they, the Jews, are) enemies because of you” (for your sakes).

That is, in order that the people would believe the story!

The author of I and II John admits why the Jews were then opposing the Gospel–they were refusing to confess that Jesus Christ had come “in (the) flesh” (I John 4.3; II John, verse 7).

The author’s response was to label such opponents as deceivers and anti-Christ (ibid).

III. THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE NEW TESTAMENT BOOKS– “LET GOD BE TRUE, BUT EVERY MAN A LIAR… ” (Romans 3.4)

The main authors of the New Testament books were:

• Arius Calpurnius Piso (Josephus)

and his son, Julius.

THE CHURCH FATHERS

Between 100 and 105 additional Christian books were already being done–by the same authors who were finishing the New Testament itself.

Julius wrote an epistle as Clement of Rome.

Clement of Rome (Latin: Clemens Romanus; Ancient Greek: Κλήμης Ῥώμης, romanized: Klēmēs Rōmēs) (died c. 100 AD), also known as Pope Clement I, was a bishop of Rome in the late first century AD. He is considered to be the first of the Apostolic Fathers of the Church, and a leading member of the Church in Rome in the late 1st century.

Pliny wrote a number of epistles as St. Ignatius.

Ignatius of Antioch (/ɪɡˈneɪʃəs/; Greek: Ἰγνάτιος Ἀντιοχείας, translit. Ignátios Antiokheías; died c. 108/140 AD), also known as Ignatius Theophorus (Ἰγνάτιος ὁ Θεοφόρος, Ignátios ho Theophóros, ‘the God-bearing’), was an early Christian writer and Patriarch of Antioch. While en route to Rome, where he met his martyrdom, Ignatius wrote a series of letters. This correspondence forms a central part of a later collection of works by the Apostolic Fathers. He is considered one of the three most important of these, together with Clement of Rome and Polycarp. His letters also serve as an example of early Christian theology, and address important topics including ecclesiology, the sacraments, and the role of bishops.

Proculus wrote one as St. Polycarp.

Polycarp (/ˈpɒlikɑːrp/; Greek: Πολύκαρπος, Polýkarpos; Latin: Polycarpus; AD 69 – 155) was a Christian bishop of Smyrna. According to the Martyrdom of Polycarp, he died a martyr, bound and burned at the stake, then stabbed when the fire failed to consume his body. Polycarp is regarded as a saint and Church Father in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, Lutheranism, and Anglicanism.  Both Irenaeus and Tertullian say that Polycarp had been a disciple of John the Apostle, one of Jesus’s disciples. In On Illustrious Men, Jerome similarly writes that Polycarp was a disciple of John the Apostle, who had ordained him as a bishop of Smyrna.[6] Polycarp is regarded as one of three chief Apostolic Fathers, along with Clement of Rome and Ignatius of Antioch.

By these writings, the authors were installing themselves, in their own time, as the legitimate successors of the apostles Peter and Paul who had supposedly written in the middle of the past century.

Saint Peter (died AD 64–68), also known as Peter the Apostle, Simon Peter, Simeon, Simon, or Cephas, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ and one of the first leaders of the early Christian Church. He appears repeatedly and prominently in all four New Testament gospels as well as the Acts of the Apostles. Catholic tradition accredits Peter as the first bishop of Rome‍—‌or pope‍—‌and also as the first bishop of Antioch.

This facade entitled them, as they now went among their new believers, to be the legitimate propagandizers and interpreters of the Christian writings.

THE SEPTUAGINT.

Father, too, was busy.

Piso was amending the Greek Septuagint.

In his gospels he had strengthened his story by misquoting places from the Hebrew Scriptures.

He changed language in the Septuagint to make it conform with the N.T. misquotes.

That way, there would be an alleged “correct” translation of the Hebrew Scriptures with which the N.T. quotations agreed.

THE APOCRYPHPA.

Piso wished to create a strong foundation on which to place the new faith.

So, between 100 and 115 he recreated the story of the “400 lost years” of Jewish history.

He did this by also writing most of the 14 books of the Apocrypha, including:

• Esdras
• I Maccabees
• Judith
• Tobit
• Bel

and the Dragon.

By making Jewish history brave and glorious, the empire’s peoples would more readily accept it as their own history and become the new Israel.

THE WRITINGS OF ARRIAN.

Later, between 130 and 150, Arrian (Arrianus, a longer form of his grandfather’s name Arius) would emulate him.

He would use Piso’s pseudonyms of Flavius and Barnabas.

Barnabas (/ˈbɑːrnəbəs/; Syriac: ܒܪܢܒܐ; Ancient Greek: Βαρνάβας), born Joseph (Ἰωσήφ) or Joses (Ἰωσής), was according to tradition an early Christian, one of the prominent Christian disciples in Jerusalem. According to Acts 4:36, Barnabas was a Cypriot Jew. Named an apostle in Acts 14:14, he and Paul the Apostle undertook missionary journeys together and defended Gentile converts against the Judaizers. They traveled together making more converts (c. 46–48 AD) and participated in the Council of Jerusalem (c. 49 AD). Barnabas and Paul successfully evangelized among the “God-fearing” Gentiles who attended synagogues in various Hellenized cities of Anatolia.

And he would compose, in addition to Hebrews, many Christian books:

• The Shepherd of Hermas
• Barnabas
• the Didache
• Martyrdom of Polycarp
• Epistle to Diognetus

as well as 24 volumes on Roman history; an account of Alexander’s campaign into India; the writings of the purported astronomer Ptolemy; and the lecture notes of Epictetus, his Stoic instructor (whom he created!).

Epictetus (/ˌɛpɪkˈtiːtəs/, EH-pick-TEE-təss; Greek: Ἐπίκτητος, Epíktētos; c. 50 – c. 135 AD) was a Greek Stoic philosopher. He was born into slavery at Hierapolis, Phrygia (present-day Pamukkale, in western Turkey) and lived in Rome until his banishment, when he went to Nicopolis in northwestern Greece, where he spent the rest of his life. His teachings were written down and published by his pupil Arrian in his Discourses and Enchiridion.  Epictetus taught that philosophy is a way of life and not simply a theoretical discipline. To Epictetus, all external events are beyond our control; he argues that we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.

IV. THE NUMERICAL CODE SYSTEMS–PUTTING TWO & TWO TOGETHER & GETTING 22!

Piso wished to ensure that no other writers nor family could ever lay claim to the authorship of his and his family’s great work.

So, he inserted various systems of code into his NT writings, and similarly into his public writings under his Josephus name, and also into the Apocrypha, each to express his and his family’s true identity.

It was like copyrighting his work.

Pythagoras of Samos (Ancient Greek: Πυθαγόρας; c. 570 – c. 495 BC)[b] was an ancient Ionian Greek philosopher, polymath and the eponymous founder of Pythagoreanism. His political and religious teachings were well known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, the West in general. Knowledge of his life is clouded by legend; modern scholars disagree regarding Pythagoras’s education and influences, but they do agree that, around 530 BC, he travelled to Croton in southern Italy, where he founded a school in which initiates were sworn to secrecy and lived a communal, ascetic lifestyle.

Centuries before, the Greek philosopher Pythagoras [1] had developed the method of expressing ideas through the numerical equivalents of a word’s letters. [2]

Piso took and refined this Pythagorean “mathematics” and by it utilized Greek numerical code, basically three systems:

1. SMALL NUMBERING (When the same system was used by the Jews in Hebrew, they called it Mispar Katan).

Each letter in Greek had a numerical equivalent.

But in small numbering, the zeros were deleted.

Thus, in Greek his family name was spelled Kalpournios Piso and had the following numerical equivalents:

TOGETHER THE TWO WORDS TOTALED 60

2. INITIAL SYSTEM.

This involved using only the initial letters of the names but with full numerical (not small numbering) values:

K was 20.
P was 80.

thus, KP was 100.

C (in Latin) was 100.
P was 80.

thus, CP was 180.

K was 20.
P, which was R in Greek, was as R in Greek 100

thus, KP was 120.

C was 100.
P, as R in Greek, was 100.

thus, CP was 200.

2. Ibid, page LXIX ff.
3. The spelling Piso was the family name in Latin. In Greek it was Peison, whose letters totaled 29 in small numbering. Infrequently, Piso used 70 (in Mat. 18.22, and Luke 10.1, 17) which was a total of 41 and 29, to allude to himself; but rarely did he use 29 alone. For usually he and his family thought in terms of the Latin spelling, Piso, but with the Greek numerical equivalents, whose letters totaled 19. It should be noted, however, that Psalm 29 was chosen for singing each Sabbath at conclusion of Torah reading.

---

 3. SEQUENCE SYSTEM.

This was used with, and as an extension of, systems 1 or 2.

Each Greek letter also had its assigned sequence in the order of the letters in the alphabet.

Using the sequence system together with 1:

the letter for 60 was Ξ which even today appears as on the Papal Cross.

That letter was the 14th letter of the alphabet.

Thus Kalpournios Piso, which was expressed as 60, was also expressed as 14.

That is, 14 became the secret equivalent of 60.

Using the sequence system together with 2:

K was the 10th letter in sequence, and P was the 16th.

Thus, KP was 26.

Examples of his use of these numbering systems are as follows:

I. IN THE GOSPELS—The two chapters containing genealogies of Jesus are Matthew 1 and Luke 3.

He used various methods to express those numbers which most pertinently expressed his identity; namely:

• 41
• 60
• 26

IN MATTHEW, CHAPTER 1

41

The actual number of generations from Abraham to Jesus (count them!)

60

The crucial verse is Matthew 1.17, which recites 14 three times.

One plus 17, plus 14 three times, is a total of 60.

26

The 1st chapter has total of 25 verses–that plus 1 (the first chapter) gives 26.

IN LUKE, CHAPTER 3

41

The 3rd chapter has 38 verses, total being 41.

60

The generations from Jesus back to Abraham (count them!) are 57.

Fifty-seven plus 3rd chapter totals 60.

26

The crucial verse is Luke 3.23 (which recites Jesus’ age as 30).

Three plus 23 is 26.

Please note that Christians have been taught that the New Testament at that time did not have numbering of the chapters and/or verses.

That also is not true, as far as the Pisos’ own copies were concerned.

The family arranged the verses so that many of the more important ones would, with the chapters, total Piso numbers, such as John 3.16 (total of 19), and John 8.32 (total of 40).

That no chapter and/or verse numbering appears on copies distributed to be read to the illiterate slaves and poor people is quite immaterial.

Introducing the actual 57 generations in Luke chapter 3, is the statement in Luke 3.23 that Jesus was 30 years of age.

It is, thereby, hinted that the 30 should be added to the 57 which follows; thus, giving a total of 87.

Then we should compare the 87 to the actual 41 in Matthew chapter 1; and that gives a difference of 46.

Forty-six was Jesus Christ in small numbering, as when in the Gospel of John, the Jews tell Jesus that the Temple was being built for 46 years.

Piso had an even more pertinent reason for using this involved method to secretly insert 46 in connection with 41.

He was hinting that we should put the two numbers together as 41.46 and then find that verse in Genesis.

When we do that, we find the verse which recites that Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh in Egypt.

By secretly thus hinting at Genesis 41.46, Piso was teasing that that chapter anti verse in Genesis was the source for his idea to make Jesus 30 years of age. [4]

He was saying that the Old Testament story of Joseph was the source of his idea to use the Joseph story (that is, many elements in it) as redone by him for Jesus’ life, and the idea remake himself as a fictional Joseph (that is, Josephus, a purported Jewish historian), and also to insert himself as all the Josephs in the New Testament.

---

4. An answer to Piso’s secret use of 41.(?)6 appears in the Erev Yom Kippur hymn Ya’aleh.

In it, the three words in the first column were inserted because they totaled 41; and the four words in the third column were chosen because they totaled 46!

---

II. In his public writings as “Josephus.”

Read the first couple pages of his Vita (his purported autobiography), and you will see he uses in order the following numbers:

24 Ιηςους (Jesus) in small numbering.

9

The 9th letter was “I” which stood for Isous (Jesus).

14

Which was equivalent of 60 and, hence, KP.

16

The 16th letter in sequence in the alphabet was P (pronounced pie, as in pie in the sky–Jesus).

19

Piso in small numbering in Greek was 19.

26

KP by the sequence system.

600

The letter X (pronounced “ch” in Greek) and which was the first letter Christos in Greek.

It was 600 by the initial system.

80

P, which stood for Piso, was 80 by the initial system.

The following are the main numbers the Pisos used in the New Testament and in their public writings, and which have been used since by others; and why they used them, that is, what each number represented to the Pisos and to others who later knew the secret.

14

This 14th letter by the sequence system stood for 60 and, therefore for KP.

16

The 16th letter by the sequence system was P which stood for Piso.

19

Piso was 19 in small numbering (That is why in Judaism, the prayer against the minim was the 19th prayer).

20

An allusion to the 20 pieces of silver for which the first Joseph (Joseph in Egypt in the Jewish Bible) was sold.

22

Χριςτος (Christ) in Greek small numbering was 22.

24

Ιηςους (Jesus) in Greek small numbering was 24.

That is the reason in the Jewish prayers the Vidui (Ashamnu, Bogadnu, etc.) contains not 22 (as it would if only the 22 letters of the alphabet were used) but 24!

That is also the reason the Jewish Canon was organized into 24 books, and that Psalm 24 is recited after Torah readings (except on the Sabbath).

26

K (10th letter) plus P (16th letter) by sequence system.

27

Πλιυις (Pliny) in Greek small numbering.

That was why the NT ultimately contained 27 books.

The Jews answered Pliny by reciting the 27th Psalm during the Rosh Hashonoh season.

30

The 30 pieces of silver.

Incidentally, Piso chose Flavius as part of his fictional name (Flavius Josephus).

He spelled it in Greek Φλαουιος so that its letters would total 30, because he was alluding to the 30 pieces of silver which he had created in the story.

Flavius meant gold; that is, yellow gold in color.

He had changed the 20 pieces of silver of the first Joseph to the 30 pieces of silver of the second Joseph (Jesus, his creation), and spelled gold so it would total 30 and be secret allusion to his story.

Also, by the sequence system, F of Φλαουιος was the 21st letter, and I of Isous was the 9th letter, making total of  30.

33

The presumed age, based on Gospel of John, at which Jesus dies; because his ministry there was seemingly for three years.

33 was chosen because Alexander the Great died at age 33.

36

The total in small numbering of his fictional name Iwspros.

Even though he had taken the identity of (various) Josephs, he spelled his pseudonym with a P instead of F.

The change of letters was etymologically proper in Greek.

But, also, with that spelling it would total not 33 but 36.

And the name of the ancient Greek philosopher—Pythagoras—from whom he borrowed and refined the numbering systems, totaled 36 by small numbering!

In Luke chapter 3, he added to the 57 generations between Jesus and Abraham, an additional 21 generations counting back to Adam and God.

He thus deliberately made the total 78.

For comparing the 78 generations in Luke chapter 3, to the 42 generations (3 times 14) presumed in Matthew 1.17, gives a difference of 36—which was Josephus!

The Jews replied by lighting 36 candles during the eight nights of Chanukah; and with the legend of the Lamed Vav; and by spelling and choosing the hymn title Adon Olam, which totaled 36. 

And, later, by spelling a master’s good name in such a way that its letters would total 36.

40

The number 12 which represented the 12 disciples, was when used in the sequence system, the letter M.

And by the initial system that was 40.

40 was also half of 80 which was P (for Piso); hence two M’s could represent Piso.

That was the reason that Jesus’ mother’s name was spelled not Miriam as if in Hebrew, but rather Mariam.

For Aria was the feminine form of Piso’s true name of Arius.

And by putting an “m” on either end of it, a feminine Arius Piso was produced. [5]

Piso was the mother as well as the father!

41

This was Καλπουςυιος, (Kalpournios), the Greek spelling of his clan name, in small numbering.

42

The presumed total generations of Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew chapter 1.

There are actually only 41 generations listed there.

The Jewish response was to choose Detsach Adash Ba’achav.

They totaled 42!

44

This was the expression in small numbering of the name of his middle son and main assistant and successor, Fabius Justus (Φαβιος = 18, Ιουςτος = 26); together his name totaled 44.

That was the reason why Paul (being written and fictionally created by Josephus’ son Justus) said in II Cor. 11.24 that,

“(f)ive times I received from Jews thirty-nine lashes.”

39 plus 5 was 44, which was the author’s true name.

That is also the reason 144,000 appears in Revelation 7.4, and 14.1, and .3.

Julius, the author there, was referring to his brother, Fabios Ioustos, who was 44, coupled with the expression of his family’s name, 100 for KP.

In reply the Jews lit eight Shamash candles–in addition to the 36 others–during Chanukah, making the total 44.

---

5. Philo of Alexandria and the Septuagin had for Moses’ sister also used the Greek spelling Mariam (assuming the spelling in Philo had not been changed from Miriam by Piso or his successors). But Aria with an “m” added on each end did aptly fit as the name of Piso’s fictional wife.

---

46

Jesus Christ [Ιηςους Χριςτος] in small numbering.

In John 2.20 the Jews tell Jesus it took 46 years to build the Temple.

47

Pythagoras’ most famous theorem was his 47th.

That said that the square of the hypotenuse equaled the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Piso saw himself as the fictional redidivus of so many other greats of history:

• Joseph
• Alexander the Great
• Plato
• Aristotle
• Minos

et al.

Nero Redivivus legend – Wikipedia

In short, he became everything from the alpha of Arius to the omega of Piso (see Rev. 1.8, 21.6, 22.13).

Similarly, he was the new Pythagoras.

Therefore, he wrote that his brave defense of Jotapata in the Jewish War had lasted 47 days. [6]

50

This was represented in Hebrew by the letter “nun.”

The same word, nun, was also the father of the first Joshua.

Thus, 50 was used as an allusion to the source—the Jewish Joshua—from which Piso borrowed the name for his hero.

Joshua (/ˈdʒɒʃuə/), also known as Yehoshua (Hebrew: יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‎ Yəhōšuaʿ, Tiberian: Yŏhōšuaʿ, lit. ‘Yahweh is salvation’), Jehoshua, Josue, functioned as Moses’ assistant in the books of Exodus and Numbers, and later succeeded Moses as leader of the Israelite tribes in the Book of Joshua of the Hebrew Bible. His name was Hoshea (הוֹשֵׁעַ‎ Hōšēaʿ, lit. ‘Save’) the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim, but Moses called him “Yehoshua” (translated as “Joshua” in English), the name by which he is commonly known in English. According to the Bible, he was born in Egypt prior to the Exodus.  The Hebrew Bible identifies Joshua as one of the twelve spies of Israel sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. In Numbers 13:1 and after the death of Moses, he led the Israelite tribes in the conquest of Canaan, and allocated lands to the tribes. According to biblical chronology, Joshua lived some time in the Bronze Age. According to Joshua 24:29 Joshua died at the age of 110.  Joshua holds a position of respect among Muslims, who also see him as the leader of the faithful following the death of Moses. In Islam, it is also believed that Yusha bin Nun (Joshua) was the “attendant” of Moses mentioned in the Quran before Moses meets Khidr. Joshua plays a role in Islamic literature, with significant narration in the hadith.

Also, nun had a third meaning: in Aramaic it meant fish.

Therefore, the Church made the fish a symbol for Jesus.

57

The 57 generations from Abraham to Jesus in Luke chapter 3.

A Jewish answer was to choose the Haftorah for Yom Kippur morning; it is from Isaiah chapter 57, starting at its 14th verse and continuing through to the 14th verse of the following chapter.

60

Kalpournios Piso in small numbering.

That is why, in another story in his Jewish Antiquities, Piso crucified his alter ego 60 cubits high. 

And why—in order to answer him—Pesach Matzoh U’Maror were made to total 60.

66

Flavius (Flaouios) Josephus (Iosepos)—30 plus 36—in small numbering.

That was why the Church later arranged the Old Testament into 39 books, so that those, plus the 27 books of the New Testament, would total 66 in all.

67

Expressing the letters of Piso, each in the sequence system, gave: Π-16, Ι-9, Σ-18, Ω-24=67.

The Jews wrote a reply to Piso which was made to contain 167 verses.

That was answering KP which was 100, plus Piso which was 67 by the sequence system.

Later, lo’hevel was chosen because it aptly totaled 67.

70

An allusion to the Septuagint; and also, to the family’s name as spelled Kalpournious Peison (see footnote 3 supra).

Piso wrote both accounts of his day as to how the Septuagint was created:

One in his Antiquities in which the central character is Aristaios (totaling 19 in small numbering in Greek) and the other entitled the Letter of Aristeas (totaling 16 in small numbering).

Each name was merely a longer form of his true name of Arius; Aristaios and Aristeas were merely yet additional literary alter egos of himself!

This code practice of adding or subtracting portions of a name to disguise but yet keep the basic name is seen in another variation of Piso’s true personal name of Arius–L.

Arruntius Stella.

Under that name Piso was patron and friend of the poets Statius and Martial and a Roman consul.

Query as to the possible source of the name Artorius or Arthur–as in King Arthur?! 80—P, which stood for Piso, was 80 in regular numbering, that is, by the initial system.

---

6. Jewish War 1II.316, 406

---

87

That was the secret total of 57 plus 30 in Luke chapter 3, explained above.

87 was also paz in regular numbering in both Greek and Hebrew.

Ροs, which was almost the same pronunciation, was the final syllable of his Ιωςηπος name.

The Jews answered with the sons of Pazzi.

And they made Boruch Sheh’ornar contain 87 words.

96

This was “Alex” in regular numbering.

That was the shortened form of the name of Piso’s first son, Alexander, who died about the year 95.

He appeared in the Gospels as Andrew.

Andrew is the English form of the given name, common in many countries. The word is derived from the Greek: Ἀνδρέας, Andreas, itself related to Ancient Greek: ἀνήρ/ἀνδρός aner/andros, “man” (as opposed to “woman”), thus meaning “manly” and, as consequence, “brave”, “strong”, “courageous”, and “warrior”. In the King James Bible, the Greek “Ἀνδρέας” is translated as Andrew.

Pliny married Piso’s granddaughter, Calpurnia, and therefore became like a new son to him, a replacement for Alexander.

Hence, he was 96.

The particular one of Pliny’s public letters in which he wrote to Emperor Trajan concerning his recent alleged persecution of Christian believers, was appropriately made to appear as letter number 96 in the 10th volume of his letters.

Trajan (/ˈtreɪdʒən/ TRAY-jən; born Marcus Ulpius Traianus, adopted name Caesar Nerva Traianus; 18 September 53 – c. 11 August 117) was a Roman emperor from AD 98 to 117, remembered as the second of the Five Good Emperors of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was a philanthropic ruler and a successful soldier-emperor who presided over one of the greatest military expansions in Roman history, during which, by the time of his death, the Roman Empire reached its maximum territorial extent. He was given the title of Optimus (‘the best’) by the Roman Senate.

To answer Pliny, the first line of Adon Olam was made to total 96 in small numbering in Hebrew, as was the expression, Mah Nishtanah Halailah Hazeh Me’kol Ha’lailos.

99

This was the total of Pliny’s full name, Gaios Kaikilios Sekoundos Plinious, in small numbering.

Letters of Pliny, by Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus (gutenberg.org)

100

KP by the initial system.

120

KP (P as R) by initial system.

That is why the gathering of the brethren in Acts 1.15 consisted of 120.

136

KP (100) plus Iosepos (36).

The 120 persons in Acts 1.15 plus the chapter and verse there total 136.

The Jews answered Piso by making the first lines of Yigdal and Ayn K’Elokeynu total 136 in Mispar Katan.

And by reciting Psalm 136 each sabbath and in the Haggadah.

Also notice that in Malcolm Hay’s Thy Brother’s Blood, Josephus is first mentioned on page 136. 

144

KP (100) plus Fabius Justus (44) total 144.

The 144,000 which appear in Rev. 180—C (from Latin) as 100, plus P from Greek as 80.

In Acts 27.37 the persons in Paul’s boat totaled 276.

That was because they were actually just two:

180 (CP) plus 96 (Pliny); that is, the two authors of Acts, Pliny and Calpurnius Piso, who in this instance would be Justus.

200

C, plus P as R.

300

T was 300 in Greek; it was also the symbol of the cross.

316

This was the cross (T = 300) plus P (16th letter).

Vo’reek was chosen because it (like a form of Piso’s hero’s name) totaled 316 in regular numbering. Vo’reek was taken from Isaiah 30.7–as was also hevel, with the mere addition of lamed (30).

Allegorically the New Testament could be seen as authored mainly by Piso, Mr. Hevel V. Reek! 

600

X in Greek, which was pronounced “ch,” was the first letter of Χριςτος (Christ); and it was also 600 in the initial system.

Thus 600 stood for Christ.

Later it reappeared as the 600 who rode “into the valley of Death.”

666

The number which pertained to the beast in Revelation 13.18.

This will be explained below:

The Pisos used the numbers all through the New Testament– in various ways, again and again. 

Piso teased that even,

“The very hairs of your head are all numbered!” (Mat. 10.30)

There were no copyright laws then, and their use of code was like copyrighting their work.

That way, no future authors could steal the honor which they wished for their memories forever, by claiming, even secretly, that the great work was theirs.

But then, Piso’s oldest living son, Julius (who was John as a little boy in the Synoptic Gospels), became angry at the family.

As Julius Severus, he had just destroyed Bar Cochbah in the year which is now 135 C.E. (A.D.).

Hadrian (/ˈheɪdriən/ HAY-dree-ən; Latin: Publius Aelius Hadrianus [(h)adriˈjaːnus]; 24 January 76 – 10 July 138) was Roman emperor from 117 to 138. Hadrian was born in Italica, close to modern Seville in Spain, an Italic settlement in Hispania Baetica; his branch of the Aelia gens, the Aeli Hadriani, came from the town of Hadria in eastern Italy. He was a member of the Nerva-Antonine dynasty.

But instead of rewarding him, his surviving brother Justus and Justus’ friend Emperor Hadrian, who was under his thumb, had named sister Claudia’s son Antoninus to succeed Hadrian.

Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Pius (19 September AD 86 – 7 March 161) was Roman emperor from AD 138 to 161. He was the fourth of the Five Good Emperors from the Nerva–Antonine dynasty.

Julius felt his own grandson should have been chosen successor instead.  [7]

But Hadrian even specified that his own nephew and grandson should be emperors after Antoninus!

So, in 136’137 Julius retaliated by writing Revelation, and in it turning the number code against the family.

He ridicules Pliny, who was number 27, by making the beast in Revelation 13.1 (14 and therefore his own father!) have 10 horns, 7 heads, and diadems, which total 27.

He makes his own dead father into the dragon, who acts for 42 months (Matthew 1.17; 3 x 14, that is Jesus) in Revelation 13.5.

The seven angels have seven plagues (a total of 14!) in Revelation 15.6.

He is most vicious toward his father in Revelation 13.188 by saying the number of the beast was 666.

600 (which was Χριςτος by the initial system) plus 66 (Φλαουιος Ιωςηπος by small numbering).

That is, daddy and his creation, Christ!

Some ancient manuscripts have this as 616, but the result is the same.

For 16 is P by the sequence system, and P stood for Piso.

So, 616 is Piso plus Christ!

In that same verse, Julius derides his father yet another way.

That involved a fourth numerical code system: regular (not “small’ ’) numbering in words and entire phrases. … (… missing text …) … is”) was made to be 1,702 in regular numbering, so that when 666 was added to it, the total was 2,368; and that was the identical total, also in regular numbering, of the names Jesus Christ.

Each was 2,368! [9]

Julius must have thought his being married to Hadrian’s sister (in which capacity Roman history knows him as Julius Servianus) [10] would protect him.

But they took him to Rome and executed him. [11]

In his fictional identity as the disciple John, Julius would be the only NT disciple not martyred–because Julius was the only son in fact martyred for opposition to the great creation!

V. SOUNDS, ANIMALS AND ALLUSION–“FOR SUCH MEN … THROUGH FAIR SPEECH AND FLATTERING SPEECH DECEIVE THE HEARTS OF THE GUILELESS” (Romans 16.18)

In addition to their use of the various number systems, the Pisos also used a variety of other methods of code.

They used sounds including “pur” from Calpurnius, “pour” from Kalpournios (the spelling of the name in Greek), “pass” or “paz” from Piso’s fictional name, which was spelled Ιωςηπος in Greek (no historian ever mentions that Josephus spells his name with a “p” instead of an “f” in Greek; for they, too, are Inner Circle members).

Other sounds used are “shur,” from Genesis 49.22, in which Joseph appeared as a fruitful bough with its branches running over the wall; and “wall” there being in Hebrew shut.

Also, shy which was Aramaic for “gift” and alluding to the great gift, Jesus, which Josephus created.

Also, animals were and are used as allusions to Josephus:

 1. The CAMEL.

Camillus was the Roman general who destroyed Veil, capital of the Etruscans and until then an obstacle to Rome’s expansion on the Italian peninsula.

Piso saw Jerusalem—with its Temple, which was the heart of Judaism—as the new Veii; hence, he was the new Camillus or Camel. Examples in the Gospels are the camel and the needle, the gnat and the camel, and the camel-hair garment of John the Baptist.

When we reverse the order of the first two letters of Iosepos and add the name of that city, the result is “Oy Veii!”

2. The LEOPARD or PANTHER.

A symbol of the goddess, Cybele, which also was composited by Piso into the Jesus figure–was the panther.

This is source of,

“Puss and boots”

“Cat with nine lives,”

“Many ways to skin a cat.”

That was also why Jesus was called ben Pantiri.

3. The HORSE.

Piso, with its letters rearranged and an extra “p” added, becomes ippos in Greek, which is horse.

The horse’s mouth and its donkey, lead a horse to water, horse laugh, etc.

The Second Coming or the Rapture, which is Humpty’s fall, is when all the king’s horses won’t put him back together again.

 4. The COCK or CHICKEN.

A priest of Cybele and Attis was called a gallus in Rome, because the Gallus was the name of the river in western Turkey from which area the Romans stole that particular pair of gods.

Gaul, specifically Provence, was where the Pisos had estates.

And gallus meant a chicken in Latin:

“Before the cock crows, Simon Peter, you will deny me three times.”

That was why Tur Malkah was destroyed through a cock and a hen.

Also, Jesus as a hen gathering her chickens in Mat. 23.37:

• cock and bull
• cocksure
• cock of the walk
• peacock
• poppycock

and the chicken (Piso) on whom we put our sins (instead of the Temple he destroyed with his 24 minim–plural of min which was short for Minos) Erev Yom Kippur.

And the term Gollus, for the dispersion which Piso ultimately caused.

It was only after the second destruction that Jewish literature referred to both dispersions as Gollus.

Piso saw himself as a new Greek Moses.

He secretly used the identity of Minos redidivus.

For Minos was the reputed ancient lawgiver of Crete (another Minos was king of ancient Crete).

The name Minos in Greek small numbering totaled 19—the same as did Piso!

Thus, Pliny writing as Paul in the Epistle to Titus (actually to Julius) in the New Testament, boasts that “All Cretans are liars” (Titus 2.12).

He is quoting from Epimenides, another Cretan.

Epimenides of Knossos (or Epimenides of Crete) (/ɛpɪˈmɛnɪdiːz/; Greek: Ἐπιμενίδης) was a semi-mythical 7th- or 6th-century BC Greek seer and philosopher-poet, from Knossos or Phaistos.

But Pliny also adds,

“This report is true”! (Titus 2.13).

The rabbis noticed, and they began to refer to Christianity as Mĭnus and to Piso as “the min” or Ha’Min.

On occasion they changed the two vowels to komatz.

They teased Afiku’min [1]

“You shall cast out the min.”

Later, in Adon Olam, their descendants would sing that God (and not Piso!),

“Is my minos and the minos of my cup…”

Henry Fielding too noticed, and he inserted Minos as a character in his A Journey from this World to the Next.

Henry Fielding (22 April 1707 – 8 October 1754) was an English writer and magistrate known for the use of humour and satire in his works. His 1749 comic novel The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling was a seminal work in the genre. Along with Samuel Richardson, Fielding is seen as the founder of the traditional English novel. He also played an important role in the history of law enforcement in the United Kingdom, using his authority as a magistrate to found the Bow Street Runners, London’s first professional police force.

He also had that story contain Book 1 with 25 chapters; and then skipped to Book 19, Chapter 7.

With each he was teasing at Matthew chapter 1 with its 25 verses, and its total of 26.

Piso used various other allusions to himself.

The name Piso was supposedly derived from the Latin word pistor which originally meant one who “ground”; hence, a miller of flour or a baker.

Now we know why Sherlock Holmes lived on Baker Street, and why there were 24 blackbirds baked in a (Piso) pie, and the butcher (Titus, who slaughtered the Jews) and the baker (Piso) and the candlestick maker (the light of the world, Jesus), and the gingerbread house and the trail of breadcrumbs.

That is the source for the expression,

“May their bones be ground to dust!”

and for the expression in the martyrology of the ten rabbis recited on Yom Kippur and Tisha b’Av that the strangers (Romans) consumed them,

“as a cake unturned”

is consumed by fire, and for the custom of Tashlich on Rosh Hashonohi n which we cast out our sins by casting bread crumbs from our pockets out and onto the water.

1. Josephus had inserted in his Jewish War a tower he called afekou, where he said Jews had assembled, only to flee on the advance of Cestius Gallus (11.513). The same sound, afiku, in Aramaic, meant “you shall cast out.” And adding rain to it happened to produce the same sound as the Greek afikomin, a form of afikneomai which meant “to arrive at,” “come to,” “reach.” Another form appears as afiketo in Romans 16.19 with the meaning “came” or “has come abroad.”

VI. THE FAMILY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT–“I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE” (John 10.30)

The Pisos claimed descent from Calpus (Kalpos in Greek) whom they claimed was the son of Numa Pompilius, successor of Romulus who founded Rome.

Numa Pompilius (Classical Latin: [ˈnʊma pɔmˈpɪliʊs]; c. 753–672 BC; reigned 715–672 BC) was the legendary second king of Rome, succeeding Romulus after a one-year interregnum. He was of Sabine origin, and many of Rome’s most important religious and political institutions are attributed to him, such as the Roman calendar, Vestal Virgins, the cult of Mars, the cult of Jupiter, the cult of Romulus, and the office of pontifex maximus.

The Calpurnian clan descended from Calpus; and the Pisos were the most prominent family in the Calpurnian clan.

Changing the “a” to “o” produced kolpos, which was Greek for bosom.

That is why Lazarus was in the bosom of Abraham in Luke 16.23 and why the only begotten Son was in the bosom of the Father in John 1.18 and why the beloved disciple leaned on Jesus’ bosom in John 13.23.

That is also why, after the Resurrection, Jesus met “Cleopas” (Luke 24.18) and a Mariam is (wife) of “Clopas” (John 19.25).

Piso and his sons and Pliny move through the NT under various names.

In the gospels, starting with Matthew, Jesus (Josephus) has basically only three disciples:

• John
• James
• Simon Peter

All the other nine disciples are shadowy alter egos of these three.

The three are really his three sons:

• Julius
• Justus
• Proculus

inserted into the first gospel when still little boys.

In addition, his fourth son, Alexander, appears as the fourth but less important disciple, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.

The New Testament mentions 9 different Simons (plus 2 Simeons); and 6 different Jameses; and 9 different Johns; and 6 different Judases.

Most of these were honorable insertions of Piso’s three sons (Julius played the Judases as well as the Johns).

When Piso plays Joseph, the three main disciples are his three real sons–and Jesus is his literary son.

Then when Piso plays Jesus, his sons become Jesus’ brothers.

Thus, Jesus has four brothers (Matthew 13.55) who are really Piso’s four sons including Alexander.

Father plays all the Josephs.

First, he is Joseph the carpenter, later he is Joseph of Arimathea who buries Jesus.

Joseph the carpenter drops from the story when Jesus starts his ministry–because Piso cannot be in the story as two main roles simultaneously! —then Joseph reappears after the crucifixion to bury his literary son!

Then in Acts of the Apostles, he reappears as Joseph the Levite, whose name is quickly changed to Barnabas (Acts 4.36).

Thus, he plays both the Son (Jesus) and the Father (Joseph the carpenter, and God).

Father and Son were in fact one—each was Piso.

Shakespeare described the double identity in Pericles, Prince of Tyre.

Pericles (/ˈpɛrɪkliːz/, Greek: Περικλῆς; c. 495 – 429 BC) was a Greek politician and general during the Golden Age of Athens. He was prominent and influential in Ancient Athenian politics, particularly between the Greco-Persian Wars and the Peloponnesian War, and was acclaimed by Thucydides, a contemporary historian, as “the first citizen of Athens”. Pericles turned the Delian League into an Athenian empire and led his countrymen during the first two years of the Peloponnesian War. The period during which he led Athens as Archon (ruler), roughly from 461 to 429 BC, is sometimes known as the “Age of Pericles”, but the period thus denoted can include times as early as the Persian Wars or as late as the following century.

Shakespeare: Intel Project – Library of Rickandria

In its great riddle, supposedly alluding to incest, but actually to Piso’s double role, Shakespeare wrote:

“He’s father, son, and husband mild…” [1]

And in As You Like It, he wrote,

“One man plays many parts…” [2]

In Acts 19.29 and 20.4, written by his son Justus, Josephus is inserted under the name Aristarchus and is a companion of Pliny who appears under two of his actual names, Gaius and Secundus!

It was appropriate that Piso have the pseudonym Aristarchus, for Aristo was the name of Plato’s father.

Similarly, it is as Titius Aristo that Josephus entered Roman jurisprudence.

Under that name he was a famous Roman jurist cited in Justinian’s Digest centuries later.

In the New Testament, Piso is also Aquila, which meant eagle; and Prisca or Priscilla is his wife.

His wife’s true name was Boionia Priscilla or Procilla.

She also appears in II Timothy (written by their son Justus) as Lois.

Fittingly, she appears literature as superman’s wife and Timothy’s grandmother.

Justus was his father’s main successor.

When Justus and his father started the writing of Acts, Justus played Paul, the hero, as his father had created and played the role of Jesus.

At the same time, about the year 96, his father was preparing to write his Vita; and in it, Piso would insert Justus as his true name, Justus, twice, between his brothers “Hyrcanus” (actually Julius, who is the NT John) and “Agrippa” or “Simonides” [3] (who is actually Proculus and the NT Simon).

In his Vita, Piso makes Justus an alleged Jewish historian4 who had written a conflicting history of the Jewish War and falsely accused him (Josephus) of causing his native Tiberias to revolt against Rome. [5]

He tells of Justus’ career as the revolutionary leader at Tiberias and says his father was Pistos (seemingly because pistis was the Greek for “faith,” and could also be seen as akin to the name Piso, as was pistor in Latin). [6]

He gives Justus a brother [7] or brother-in-law [8] named Jesus! Justus appears in his own Acts 1.23 as,

“Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus…)”

—for he is hinting that he has become the new Joseph(us), the new father the story.

Justus’ name appears again in Acts in 18.7 as Titius Justus.

A few years later, about the year 105, Justus writes the Gospel of John.

In it he stresses repeatedly (especially in chapters 10, 12, 14, 16) that he is sent by his father and is his representative.

He is teasing that the father, whose work he is continuing, is his own—Piso!

Justus appears in his own Acts 1.23 as,

“Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus…)”

—for he is hinting that he has become the new Joseph(us), the new father the story.

Justus’ name appears again in Acts in 18.7 as Titius Justus.

A few years later, about the year 105, Justus writes the Gospel of John.

In it he stresses repeatedly (especially in chapters 10, 12, 14, 16) that he is sent by his father and is his representative.

He is teasing that the father, whose work he is continuing, is his own—Piso!

He names this gospel after his brother Julius’ pseudonym and himself plays the role of Jesus in it. 

There is no disciple James mentioned in this gospel (despite the importance of James as one of the three chief disciples in the Synoptic Gospels!) because Justus is playing the lead role, Jesus; and therefore, he cannot insert himself in the story as two main characters at the same time. 

Shortly after writing the Gospel of John (in 105) and playing the lead (Jesus) in Justus under his identity of Paul—assisted by his son Julianus, pseudonym Timothy—writes the Epistle to the Colossians.

And in it at Col. 4.11, they refer to Justus proudly as,

“Jesus who is called Justus”

His father, too, had hinted that Justus and Jesus had become identical.

For in his Vita, having made Justus the revolutionary leader at Tiberias, he later gave Tiberias’ chief magistrate the name Jesus. [9]

Justus would live on into the reign of his nephew Antoninus (Claudia Phoebe’s elder son), which commenced in 138, and would then write as Justinus (longer form Justus) the Witness, that is, Justin Martyr, Church Father.

Justin, known posthumously as Justin Martyr (Greek: Ἰουστῖνος ὁ Μάρτυρ, romanized: Ioustinos ho Martys; c. AD 100 – c. AD 165), also known as Justin the Philosopher, was an early Christian apologist and philosopher.

In his Dialogue with Trypho, he would boast that prayers in the name of Jesus were being offered by every race of men. [10]

Pliny shared with Justus the writings of Acts and the Pauline Epistles. Pliny’s first chapter in Acts was chapter 18.

At verse 7 he inserted Justus as Titius Justus, because now that Pliny was the writer (and hence also playing the lead character, Paul), Justus could not play Paul but needed a new identity.

Then in Acts 18.24 and 19.1, Pliny gives Justus another name, Apollos.

Apollos (Greek: Ἀπολλώς) was a 1st-century Alexandrian Jewish Christian mentioned several times in the New Testament. A contemporary and colleague of Paul the Apostle, he played an important role in the early development of the churches of Ephesus and Corinth.

He is secretly the former Paul (Paulus/Pollus) with an “a” added.

Within a couple years, Pliny would write I Corinthians.

Again, he repeatedly inserted Justus as Apollos (I Cor. 1.12, 3.4-6, 22; 4.6; 16.12), because as the writer, Pliny was himself playing the lead role, Paul.

And when Pliny wrote, as Paul, the Epistle to Titus (Julius), again he put Justus in as Apollos (3.13.).

Unlike Justus who would live on into the 140’s, Pliny would perish in 116 in western Parthia while fighting the Jews and Parthians.

This war was connected with the second great Jewish revolt (of 115-117) against the Pisos’ Roman Empire.

Pliny’s death was under his military name, Maximus, the great one.

Later, “maxima” (the feminine form of his pseudonym) would be combined with the feminine form of the name of the Piso founder, Calpus (with also the change of vowel), to produce the expression, Maxima Culpa.

In addition to repeatedly inserting themselves in the story, the Pisos hint at their family’s relationship to the Herods.

“Greet Herodion my kinsman,” says Romans 16.11.

It is authored by Proculus, Piso’s third (living) son who inserts himself as the writer “Tertius“ (the third) in Romans1 6.22. Among Jesus’ followers is Joanna, the wife of Chuza, steward of Herod (Luke 8.3).

Manaen, who in the original Greek is literally “foster brother” of Herod the Tetrarch, is one of the prophets and teachers of the young Church in Antioch (Acts 13.1).

The family also put their friends into the story.

Justus inserted Cornelius Tacitus, the Roman historian.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus,known simply as Tacitus (/ˈtæsɪtəs/ TAS-it-əs, Latin: [ˈtakɪtʊs]; c. AD 56 – c. 120), was a Roman historian and politician. Tacitus is widely regarded as one of the greatest Roman historians by modern scholars.

He became Cornelius, the Roman centurion in Acts chapter 10, who was devout and feared God.

Cornelius (fl. 1st century A.D.) (Greek: Κορνήλιος, romanized: Kornḗlios; Latin: Cornelius) was a Roman centurion who is considered by some Christians to be the first Gentile to convert to the faith, as related in Acts of the Apostles (see Ethiopian eunuch for the competing tradition). The baptism of Cornelius is an important event in the history of the early Christian church. He may have belonged to the gens Cornelia, a prominent Roman family.

Tacitus reciprocated by dedicating his Dialogue on Oratory shortly after the year 100 to “dear Fabius Justus.” [11]

Piso’s father’s friend and encourager, Annaeus Seneca, also appears.

He is the Ananias who cures Paul’s blindness in Acts 9.17-18, and he is the Aeneas whose paralysis Peter cures in Jesus’ name in Acts 9.33-34.

Aeneas (Greek: Αἰνέας, romanized: Aineas) is a character in the New Testament. According to Acts 9:32-33, he lived in Lydda, and had been a cripple for eight years. When Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat,” he was healed and got up.  F. F. Bruce suggests that Aeneas was “one of the local Christian group, though this is not expressly stated.” According to David J. Williams, there is some ambiguity in the Greek text of verse 34, which contains the phrase στρῶσον σεαυτῷ (strōson seautō) normally translated as “make thy bed”. The text would literally be rendered as Peter telling Aeneas to “spread for himself”, which might not refer to his bedding, but something else he had been unable to do. Williams suggests it could, for example, mean “Get yourself something to eat”. The account of Aeneas being healed is followed by an account of the raising of Dorcas.

Who was Ananias in the Bible? | GotQuestions.org

Aeneas was an appropriate name also because according to some accounts Aeneas was the father or grandfather of Romullus.[12]

Virgil said it was to Aeneas that a star shot down from heaven, disclosing to him the spot at which Rome should be established. [13]

Publius Vergilius Maro (Classical Latin: [ˈpuːbliʊs wɛrˈɡɪliʊs ˈmaroː]; traditional dates 15 October 70 BC – 21 September 19 BC), usually called Virgil or Vergil (/ˈvɜːrdʒɪl/ VUR-jil) in English, was an ancient Roman poet of the Augustan period. He composed three of the most famous poems in Latin literature: the Eclogues (or Bucolics), the Georgics, and the epic Aeneid. A number of minor poems, collected in the Appendix Vergiliana, were attributed to him in ancient times, but modern scholars consider his authorship of these poems to be dubious. Virgil’s work has had great influence on Western literature, most notably Dante’s Divine Comedy, in which Virgil appears as the author’s guide through Hell and Purgatory. Virgil has been traditionally ranked as one of Rome’s greatest poets. Since its composition, his Aeneid has been considered the national epic of ancient Rome.

As the years after 70 rolled by, the Jews continued rejecting the story.

Piso’s successive versions became increasingly anti-Jewish.

But still he was prohibited by the Vespasian emperors from taking the tale to the non-Jews.

Then in 96 he and Pliny assassinated Emperor Domitian, [1] second son and last survivor of Vespasian.

Domitian (/dəˈmɪʃən, -iən/, də-MISH-ən, -⁠ee-ən; Latin: Domitianus; 24 October 51 – 18 September 96) was Roman emperor from 81 to 96. The son of Vespasian and the younger brother of Titus, his two predecessors on the throne, he was the last member of the Flavian dynasty. Described as “a ruthless but efficient autocrat”, his authoritarian style of ruling put him at sharp odds with the Senate, whose powers he drastically curtailed.

Nerva became emperor, named the Pisos to his council, and allowed them to do what they pleased.

Nerva (/ˈnɜːrvə/; born Marcus Cocceius Nerva; 8 November 30 – 27 January 98) was a Roman emperor from 96 to 98. Nerva became emperor when aged almost 66, after a lifetime of imperial service under Nero and the succeeding rulers of the Flavian dynasty. Under Nero, he was a member of the imperial entourage and played a vital part in exposing the Pisonian conspiracy of 65. Later, as a loyalist to the Flavians, he attained consulships in 71 and 90 during the reigns of Vespasian and Domitian, respectively. On 18 September 96, Domitian was assassinated in a palace conspiracy involving members of the Praetorian Guard and several of his freedmen. On the same day, Nerva was declared emperor by the Roman Senate. As the new ruler of the Roman Empire, he vowed to restore liberties which had been curtailed during the autocratic government of Domitian.  Nerva’s brief reign was marred by financial difficulties and his inability to assert his authority over the Roman army. A revolt by the Praetorian Guard in October 97 essentially forced him to adopt an heir. After some deliberation Nerva adopted Trajan, a young and popular general, as his successor. After barely fifteen months in office, Nerva died of natural causes on 27 January 98. Upon his death he was succeeded and deified by Trajan. Although much of his life remains obscure, Nerva was considered a wise and moderate emperor by ancient historians. Nerva’s greatest success was ensuring a peaceful transition of power after his death by selecting Trajan as his heir, thus founding the Nerva–Antonine dynasty. He was the first of the Five Good Emperors.

The family began writing the Acts of the Apostles.

For thus far they have a hero who says he comes only to the lost sheep of Israel and who hesitates to scatter his bread to the dogs.

They need a second hero, one whom Jesus will instruct from Heaven to open the new Faith to the non-Jews, Justus will start that story and create and play the part of the new spokesman, Paul.

The vehicle for the transformation of Paul from persecutor to apostle is his remarkable vision (all in the story!), which in turn rests on his experience in observing the stoning of Stephen.

Stephen or Steven is a common English first name. It is particularly significant to Christians, as it belonged to Saint Stephen (Greek: Στέφανος Stéphanos), an early disciple and deacon who, according to the Book of Acts, was stoned to death; he is widely regarded as the first martyr (or “protomartyr”) of the Christian Church.

The robes of the witnesses to the stoning are even laid at Paul’s feet (Acts 7.58)!

The martyrdom of Stephen is a posthumous honor to Stephanus, the slave of Domitilla, Emperor Domitian’s niece, who had helped kill the emperor in Rome [2] just before the writing of Acts.

He becomes the gentle Stephen, whom the Jewish mob stones (Acts 7.58-59).

But Acts does not state he died but only that he fell asleep (Acts 7.60), for he was in fact killed in Rome by those not involved in the plot who rushed in (presumably Domitian’s bodyguards).

Two years later in 98, Nerva dies, and Trajan becomes emperor.

He was married to Pompeia Plotina.

Pompeia Plotina (died 121/122) was Roman empress from 98 to 117 as the wife of Trajan. She was renowned for her interest in philosophy, and her virtue, dignity and simplicity. She was particularly devoted to the Epicurean philosophical school in Athens, Greece.[1] She is often viewed as having provided Romans with fairer taxation, improved education, assisted the poor, and created tolerance in Roman society.

Her true name was Claudia Phoebe. [3]

She was Piso’s daughter.

The family now ruled the world.

Acts was soon finished, and the Epistles were being written.

Between 100 and 105, while they were writing the NT Epistles and the Gospel of John, the Pisos were creating the embryonic church.

Justus, his father, Pliny, their family, friends, and their slaves traveled about Bithynia, Pontus, and the province of Asia (all in what is now Asiatic Turkey), and the Greek cities, and later Alexandria and elsewhere, to create the churches and to gather the slaves and poor people into the new faith.

1. According to Dio Cassius (LXVII.17.1-2), the assassination was supervised by Parthenius. That name contains the letters Plus, which was one of the names used to describe the Pisos. Parthenius used Maximus (which was Pliny’s alias) and Stephanus as assassins. Also, Apollonius of Tyana, the fictional Piso/Jesus, mounted a rock at Ephesus and urged on Stephanus (Ibid. 18.1-2). And Domitian had lived 44 years, 10 months, and 26 days; and had reigned 15 years and 5 days, The numbers totaled 100–KP!

3. She appears as “our sister Phoebe” in Romans 16.1 ; as Claudia in II Timothy 4.21; and as Claudius Ephebus in I Clement LXV.1. He appears as Pudens in II Tim. 4.21 (the same verse as his wife); and as Fronto in Ignatius’ Epistle to the Ephesians II. 1. Their marriage–she as Claudia Rufina and he as Pudens–is praised by Valerius Martial (IV. 13). Emperor Trajan’s public name was Marcus Ulpius Nerva Trajan (Dio Cassius LXVIII.3(4). Rearranging the letters of Ulpius produces one of his fictional names, Lupus.

---

As the public writings under Piso’s name of Josephus (coupled with the Synoptic Gospels) are the method to find him as the creator of the Jesus story–so are the writings of Pliny (both the public and the private ones) the method to glimpse the creation of the Church.

From the letters of Pliny, [4] one can unravel the members of the Piso family under their various pseudonyms and can notice the comings and goings of the family across Bithynia and the adjacent provinces.

From the letters of “St. Ignatius,” [5] which are also by Pliny, one can see him writing to the various family members and friends as they start the first churches.

Pliny created the first churches in Bithynia and Pontus commencing about 100—once Acts of the Apostles was completed.

But that was not his first tour of duty there nor did his tour cover a mere few years ending about 112, as is presumed from his public writings.

He was in Pontus and Bithynia repeatedly between the years 85 and 112.

The method to deduce his many tours is the appearance of his pseudonym, Maximus, repeatedly—with various second names—in his public letters.

From his letters [6] he appears as Terentius Maximus, procurator for Emperor Domitian in Bithynia; and he was there even back in 85-86 as proconsul under the name, Lappius Maximus. [7

All the careers of various people named Maximus—each of which was Pliny—appear in his own public letters.

This leads us to the source of the first name of Pontius Pilate.

Pontius Pilate (Latin: Pontius Pilatus; Greek: Πόντιος Πιλᾶτος, romanized: Póntios Pilátos) was the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea, serving under Emperor Tiberius from 26/27 to 36/37 AD. He is best known for being the official who presided over the trial of Jesus and ultimately ordered his crucifixion. Pilate’s importance in Christianity is underscored by his prominent place in both the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. Because the gospels portray Pilate as reluctant to execute Jesus, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church believes that Pilate became a Christian and venerates him as both a martyr and a saint, a belief which is historically shared by the Coptic Church, with a feast day on 19 or 25 June, respectively.

He in fact was named merely Pilate or Pilatos in Greek.

He was only Pilate when Philo of Alexandria discussed him about the year 45 in his writings.

Philo of Alexandria (/ˈfaɪloʊ/; Ancient Greek: Φίλω-ν, romanized: Phílōn; Hebrew: יְדִידְיָה, romanized: Yəḏīḏyāh; c. 20 BCE – c. 50 CE), also called Philō Judæus,[a] was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, in the Roman province of Egypt.

He mentioned him only in connection with the incident of the shields.

Pilate remained merely that in the first two gospels, Matthew (ch. 27) and Mark (ch. 15).

Only in Luke 3.1 does Pilate acquire the additional name Pontius.

That was because in 85-90 Pliny was assisting Piso writing the third gospel, Luke.

So, Piso honored him by adding the name Pontius—which was a variant form of Pliny’s province Pontus—to Pilate’s name.

For Pliny had already been serving a term as governor there.

Later, twice more Pilate is called Pontius Pilate:

in Acts 4.27, written after 96 by Justus; then in I Timothy 6.13 (which Pliny himself wrote about 105).

The family also slipped into Acts, in connection with the purported travels of Paul and others, mention of Pontus (Acts 2.9) and of Bithynia (Acts 16.7).

Piso, as a (fictional) Jew named Aquila, is born in Pontus according to Acts 18.2; and the first verse in I Peter mentions believers in Pontus and in Bithynia.

Pliny’s letters show that Justus too was in Bithynia between 96 and 98; he was proconsul there under the name Tullius Justus. [8]

Piso also shows his presence in these provinces—and also via Pliny’s letters.

As Claudius Ariston (form of Aristo), he was the leading citizen of Ephesus. [9]

pages.pomona.edu/~cmc24747/sources/plin_6-10.htm

That was the chief city of the province of Asia, located southwest of Bithynia.

As (Flavius) Archippus, the philosopher, Piso had been honored by Emperor Domitian; the emperor (… missed text …) “commended” him to Pliny (Lappius Maximus) in Bithynia10; and he ordered Pliny (Terentius Maximus) to buy him a farm near Prusa. [11]

And the people of Prusa voted him, as Archippus, a statue. [12]

Dio Chrysostom, Bithynian orator and philosopher, addressed the city assembly of this same Prusa in Bithynia, lauding Diodorus—but with equivocal meanings. [13]

Diodorus meant the gift of God, by which Dio meant Piso!

Starting shortly after the year 100, and as they were finishing Acts and writing the epistles, they were traveling about the provinces.

They pretended to be present-day apostles and bishops, the successors of the apostles Paul and Peter, who they explained had lived and written a half century before.

While Pliny pretended that he was Ignatius, Justus was Justinus, Julius was Clement of Rome, Proculus was Polycarp, and Julianus (Justus’ son) was Papias.

They were reading for the slaves and poor people who were the new believers, the Synoptic Gospels, Acts, and also the Pauline Epistles which they were just finishing.

But they were explaining that these had been written back before the middle of the prior century.

However, Christianity was not done in a corner—as the words attributed to Paul in Acts 26.26. 

The intelligent of that day, the literate and upper classes, both in Rome and in all the conquered provinces around the empire who profited from Rome’s rule and supported it—knew what was occurring.

About the time that Justus and his father and Pliny were starting the first churches in Bithynia, Dio Chrysostom, in Bithynia, grumbled:

“… surely you have noticed what some of our booksellers do?

…Because they, knowing that old books are in demand since better written and on better paper, bury “the worst specimens of our day in grain in order that they may take on the same color as the old ones, and after ruining the books into the bargain they sell them as old … “ [14]

By the year 110, the NT including the Pauline Epistles was substantially finished; all the books had been written except Revelation and Hebrews.

There had been difficulty with some Roman writers.

Valerius Martial, although using pseudonyms for the Pisos, mocked and derided them — as he did most everyone else in Rome’s aristocracy other than Emperor Domitian.

Marcus Valerius Martialis (known in English as Martial /ˈmɑːrʃəl/; March, between 38 and 41 AD – between 102 and 104 AD) was a Roman poet born in Hispania (modern Spain) best known for his twelve books of Epigrams, published in Rome between AD 86 and 103, during the reigns of the emperors Domitian, Nerva and Trajan. In these poems he satirizes city life and the scandalous activities of his acquaintances and romanticizes his provincial upbringing. He wrote a total of 1,561 epigrams, of which 1,235 are in elegiac couplets.  Martial has been called the greatest Latin epigrammatist and is considered the creator of the modern epigram.

His closeness to the emperor permitted this.

But after Trajan’s accession in 98, Pliny graciously paid for Martial’s passage back to his well-deserved retirement in his native Spain. [15]

Juvenal the satirist, too, criticized the Pisos (under their various pseudonyms, of course).

In his 16th Satire, which he addressed to Gallius (a form of Piso’s pseudonym of Gallus), he grumbled at the privileges enjoyed by Rome’s legions.

Later the Pisos’ successors would truncate his writings, appropriately at the 60th line of his said 16th Satire.

Other writers were cooperative, for there was peril in noncooperation.

No one wrote unless he was permitted by the emperor.

The latter and the aristocracy were the financial patrons of the writers.

Thus, Statius the poet had written admiringly to the various members of the family during Domitian’s reign.

Later, after the year 100, appeared the writings of Plutarch.

Piso was his patron, and the family were his friends.

He was not 100% convinced, but he was cautious.

He wrote:

“…after dinner even common lettered people allow their thoughts to wander to other pleasures…

They take up conundrums and riddles or the Names and Numbers game.” [16]

The “names and numbers” game was called in Greek Isopsepha.

The total values of a name’s letters were equated with the total letters of another name.

That was precisely what the Pisos were doing with small numbering.

And that is what Plutarch was hinting at!

Plutarch (/ˈpluːtɑːrk/; Greek: Πλούταρχος, Ploútarchos; Koinē Greek: [ˈplúːtarkʰos]; c. AD 46 – after AD 119) was a Greek Middle Platonist philosopher, historian, biographer, essayist, and priest at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi. He is known primarily for his Parallel Lives, a series of biographies of illustrious Greeks and Romans, and Moralia, a collection of essays and speeches. Upon becoming a Roman citizen, he was possibly named Lucius Mestrius Plutarchus (Λούκιος Μέστριος Πλούταρχος).

By the year 115, the success of the Pisos’s creation seemed assured.

Thus far, only Josephus himself had dared to historicize Jesus, and that only in a brief paragraph, the Testimonium Flavianum in his Jewish Antiquities about the year 90, plus a brief mention of the purported death of Jesus’ brother, James.

Of course, Philo of Alexandria (… missed text …) (?)tion with the incident of the Roman shields [17]—did not, nor could he, make any mention of Jesus nor the Christian story.

Now the family had other writers place Jesus and Christianity in prior history.

First, the Pisos used their friend Cornelius Palma, the jurist.

Writing under the name Cornelius Tacitus between 115 and 120, he mentioned Christ and said he had founded the Christians and had been crucified by Pontius Pilate; and also detailed that Nero had caused Christians to be torn by dogs and burned on crosses. [18]

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (Latin: [ˈɡaːiʊs sweːˈtoːniʊs traŋˈkᶣɪlːʊs]), commonly referred to as Suetonius (/swɪˈtoʊniəs/ swih-TOH-nee-əs; c. AD 69 – after AD 122), was a Roman historian who wrote during the early Imperial era of the Roman Empire. His most important surviving work is a set of biographies of 12 successive Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, properly titled De vita Caesarum. Other works by Suetonius concerned the daily life of Rome, politics, oratory, and the lives of famous writers, including poets, historians, and grammarians. A few of these books have partially survived, but many have been lost.

Then Suetonius Tranquillus, too, historicized Nero’s persecution, with the mere statement that punishment was inflicted on the Christians, “a new and mischievous superstition” [19]; and elsewhere said that Emperor Claudius (who ruled 41-54) had expelled the Jews from Rome for constantly making disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus. [20]

Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus[b] (/ˈklɔːdiəs/; Latin: [tɪˈbɛriʊs ˈklau̯diʊs ˈkae̯sar au̯ˈɡʊstʊs gɛrˈmaːnɪkʊs]; 1 August 10 BC – 13 October AD 54) was a Roman emperor, ruling from AD 41 to 54. A member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, Claudius was born to Drusus and Antonia Minor at Lugdunum in Roman Gaul, where his father was stationed as a military legate. He was the first Roman emperor to be born outside Italy.

Suetonius was historicizing the story appearing in Acts of the Apostles (18.2) that Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome.

But perhaps he was hinting at the identity of him whom he was honoring with this account.

For he deliberately this time misspelled the Christus name with an “e” instead of an “i.”

Although he wrote in Latin, perhaps his intent was to make the spelling in Greek with the “e,” total in small numbering therefore 26, and hence the same as KP by the sequence system—instead of it being 22 if spelled normally as Christus (Χριςτος).

Suetonius Cooperated Perfectly.

For his name was a pseudonym for his true name, Titus Antoninus.

He was Claudia Phoebe’s elder son and Piso’s grandson.

Piso had taken him into his home and reared him when his father Rufus died about the year 93.

In the year 138, he would become emperor and then do further writings under his pseudonyms as Church Fathers.

First, he wrote as Tatian.

He said that the poor were enjoying Christian education gratuitously. [21]

Thus, the family had instituted free Christian schools to assist them in converting the poor to the new Faith.

Then “tranquil” Antoninus became “Irenic” when he created and wrote as St. Irenaeus, Church Father.

Irenaeus (/ɪrɪˈneɪəs/; Greek: Εἰρηναῖος, translit. Eirēnaîos; c. 130 – c. 202 AD) was a Greek bishop noted for his role in guiding and expanding Christian communities in the southern regions of present-day France and, more widely, for the development of Christian theology by combating heterodox or Gnostic interpretations of Scripture as heresy and defining proto-orthodoxy. Originating from Smyrna, he had seen and heard the preaching of Polycarp, who in turn was said to have heard John the Evangelist, and thus was the last-known living connection with the Apostles.

In Irenaeus Against Heresies, he deliberately again misspelled Christos–this time as Chreistos. [22]

For this way it totaled 27 in Greek.

Thus, he could honor Pliny as he had honored his grandfather.

 VIII. HOW TO FIND JOSEPHUS AS THE AUTHOR– “I AM NOT OF THIS (THE) WORLD” (John 17.14, 16)

Very few people even dream that Josephus and his family wrote the New Testament, because the world is attuned to pondering Jesus in terms of “what did he mean,” and not in terms of “who wrote the story.”

The opposite is the case regarding Shakespeare.

Shakespeare: Intel Project – Library of Rickandria

People wonder, “who wrote Shakespeare,” and not “what did he mean.”

If they reversed the questions, more would come through the veil, which is the mystery of the Gospel (Eph. 6.19)—that is, of its actual authorship— and would thereby find Jesus as fact.

And likewise, more would find the numerous Inner Circle allusions and clues in the Shakespearean writings.

The way to pierce the veil is to ponder the NT and its brilliance, even though supposedly written by men so insignificant that nothing is known of them nor of their families outside the pages of the NT–and then to think,

“Who could have written such a brilliant book, which shows such complete knowledge of the life and times of 1st century Judaea?”

Then a person may think of all the Josephs in the story and of one of them being the reputed father of the baby.

And if he has heard that writers have always written themselves into their stories, he may think of Josephus as the literary father of the baby and the creator of the story.

Once he thinks of Josephus as the father of the baby and story, he may recall that Josephus in his Vita listed the names of his three sons.

Studying the names of the three—Hyrcanus, Justus, and Simonides/Agrippa [1]—quickly produces the names of the main disciples in the NT:

A. Hyrcanus.

Josephus writes of the Maccabees, including John Hyrcanus, high priest.

John Hyrcanus (/hərˈkeɪnəs/; Hebrew: יוחנן הרקנוס, romanized: Yoḥānān Hurqanos; Koinē Greek: Ἰωάννης Ὑρκανός, romanized: Iōánnēs Hurkanós) was a Hasmonean (Maccabean) leader and Jewish High Priest of Israel of the 2nd century BCE (born 164 BCE, reigned from 134 BCE until he died in 104 BCE). In rabbinic literature he is often referred to as Yoḥanan Cohen Gadol (יוחנן כהן גדול‎), “John the High Priest”.

The first time he mentions him in the background portion of his Jewish War, he hints by calling him “John, also called Hyrcanus.” [2]

B. Justus.

Twice a James appeared in his Vita as a bodyguard of Josephus [3]; and once apparently the same bodyguard was named Justus [.4]

That made Justus a James pseudonyms of each other.

C. Simonides

This was obviously a longer form of the name Simon.

2. Jewish War 1.54

4. Ibid s 397

---

Once it is realized that Josephus created the Jesus story and that he himself played the roles of the Josephs and of Jesus and that he wrote his three sons into the three main disciples’ roles, and that he was not born until the year 37 C.E.55—this brings Jesus crashing off the wall!

Having found Josephus and his three sons, the searcher can then begin to trace their careers—and their repeated changes of names—through the first three gospels.

He can also begin to find the numerous parallels which Josephus created in his public writings, particularly his Vita, to remind one of the numbers, names and events he had created in the Synoptic Gospels.

A few examples are:

Having studied the first three gospels, one then begins to read Acts of the Apostles and attempts to continue tracing Josephus and his sons, in their various literary alter egos, through the story. 

But he encounters a problem.

The names start to be Roman.

And new people, not pseudonyms of the family, begin to appear, such as:

• Gaius
• Secundus
• Cornelius

and Timothy.

So, one must delve into Roman history and writings in search of more clues.

6. Gospel of John was written by Fabius Justus

---

Soon he finds Pliny–the only Roman governor who is known to have (allegedly,) persecuted Christians, because he writes about doing so. [7]

Then when one reads Pliny’s letters, he finds his dear friend is Fabius Justus. [8]

Immediately the reader recalls this same name, Justus, as that of Josephus’ son!

Pliny’s wife is found to be Calpurnia [9], the granddaughter of Calpurnius Fabatus. [10]

And Fabatus reminds one of Flavius and of its possible variant, Fabius.

By studying Pliny’s letters further, the searcher finds Josephus appearing under various other names, such as:

• Arrius Antoninus
• Titinius Capito
• Titius Aristo
• Valerius Paulinus

He also sees Josephus’ other sons appearing and deciphers their true names:

• John is really Julius, [11]
• Simon is really Proculus [12]

Pliny’s letters introduce the family members, including Josephus’ grandsons, under various names; and they also introduce the friends of Josephus and Pliny under actual names and pseudonyms …

Then one can also begin to read the other Roman writers of that day, including historians Tacitus and Suetonius.

They,’ too, supply hints and assorted pseudonyms of the various members of the family.

Now the searcher is able to continue his deciphering of the true identities of the fictional characters in Acts and the Epistles.

IX. THE PROOF THAT JOSEPHUS WAS REALLY CALPURNIUS PISO — “FOR NOTHING IS HIDDEN, EXCEPT TO BE REVEALED, NOR HAS (ANYTHING) BEEN SECRET, BUT THAT IT SHOULD COME TO LIGH7” (Mark 4.22)

By now, the reader should well understand how Josephus was found to be the author of the Jesus story in the Synoptic Gospels—that he was the Joseph writing himself in as the father, and as Jesus, and writing his three sons in as the three main disciples.

And because Josephus was not born until the year 37 C.E., the effect was to prove Jesus a fictional alter ego of Josephus.

And the reader will have understood, too, the proofs that Calpurnius Piso inserted himself and his family repeatedly, by numbers and other methods, into the gospels, and that he apparently was Josephus.

But the reader will still wonder how the transition was made—how does one, realizing Josephus created the story, come to the conclusion that he was in fact Calpurnius Piso?

There is a great mystery in the figure of Flavius Josephus.

Here is a supposed descendant of Hasmonean royalty who according to his own writings, after apparently defending Galilee and its town of Jotapata bravely, flees to a cave [1]; and then after his companions commit suicide, himself surrenders to the Romans [2]—and is spared! [3]

This was even though, during the siege of Jotapata, Josephus had his men pour boiling oil [4] down upon the Romans and boiling fenugreek over the Roman assault planks.

Yet when he ultimately surrenders to the Romans, they do not instantly lift his head.

For he prophesies:

“You will be Caesar, Vespasian; you will be emperor, you and your son here.’’ [5]

Therefore, allegedly Vespasian merely imprisons him while he waits to ascertain whether the prophecy will be fulfilled!

Then the emperors house him for some 30 years in Rome [6] while he writes Jewish history books in addition to the gospel stories!

And he marries his granddaughter and his children (as decipherable from Pliny’s letters) into the Roman aristocracy!

Truly, the “cat with nine lives”!

The letters of Pliny referred to above will be helpful once again.

They, along with the writings of Josephus and those of the Roman historian Tacitus (all presently obtainable in Loeb Classical Library editions) are the chain which ultimately leads one to the true identity of Flavius Josephus; and in the process, also reveals the portrayal of Josephus as the Jewish general captured by the Romans, to be entirely fictional.

In Pliny’s letters that particular one of the various identities of Josephus in which he is Pliny’s wife’s grandfather is Calpurnius Fabatus.

And soon we find the name Calpurnius again.

In Josephus’ The Jewish War, he inserted himself as Cestius Gallus [7] when he was the Roman general who provoked the Jewish revolt.

For he saw himself as gallus, the priest or midwife of the new god he was creating, Jesus.

Soon, in The Jewish War, Cestius Gallus has an assistant, Caesennius Gallus, commander of the 12th Legion. [8]

But he is still Gallus–that is, Josephus.

Then Caesennius Paetus appears as governor of Syria [9]; but because he is still Caesennius, he is still Josephus.

Moreover, the name Paetus seems familiar.

It had appeared in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus, as Thrasea Paetus, Stoic philosopher, killed by Emperor Nero about the year 65. [10]

Publius Clodius Thrasea Paetus (died AD 66), Roman senator, who lived in the 1st century AD. Notable for his principled opposition to the emperor Nero and his interest in Stoicism, he was the husband of Arria, who was the daughter of A. Caecina Paetus and the elder Arria, father-in-law of Helvidius Priscus, and a friend and relative by marriage of the poet Persius. Thrasea was the most prominent member of the political faction known today as the Stoic Opposition.

In Tacitus, a few pages earlier, [11] Nero also kills the leader of a group of conspirators who plot his life.

The leader is named Calpurnius Piso.

Somehow, he seems to resemble Thrasea Paetus.

Could they be identical?

Moreover, the name Calpurnius reminds one of Calpurnius Fabatus, which was Josephus’ name in Pliny’s letters when he was Pliny’s wife’s grandfather.

At this point the following steps quickly occur:

1. One checks a Latin classical dictionary and finds the famous Calpurnius Piso family.

2. From a Latin dictionary, one also finds the source of the Piso name, as “pistor,” meaning one who “ground,” or a miller or baker.

He then thinks of the many allusions to the baker and is caught up on the trail of breadcrumbs.

3. He, thus, realizes that Josephus was a Calpurnius Piso.

4. The conspirator Calpurnius Piso of about the year 65 appears to have perished in fact, and not merely in literature in Tacitus’ Annals Book XV.

But Tacitus explains that others of the conspirators are exiled or given immunity.

These including “Natalis” (Nativity?)—whom Tacitus described in as being “the partner of Piso in all his secret councils.’’ [12]

Likewise, “Montanus” (the mountain?) “Is spared out of consideration for his father’’ [13] when Thrasea Paetus is killed.

5. One recalls that Josephus appears in Judaea a year later as Cestius Gallus.

Notice the charge against Thrasea Paetus in Annals XVI.22:

“Either let us pass over to his creed, if it is the better, or let these seekers after a new world lose their chief and their instigator.” [11] – Annals XV.59.

Notice his wife’s name was Satria Galla; removing “s” and “t” from Satria produces “Aria.”

And wife of Thrasea Paetus was likewise “Atria” (Annals XVI.34)–merely a variant spelling.

Arrius/Arria could be spelled in the Greek style with one “r,” or in Latin style with two “r’s.”

As to Thrasea Paetus’ family, see footnote 3 on same page.

---

6. Then one realizes that:

(1) Josephus was the son of the condemned conspirator, Calpurnius Piso, and was himself also a Calpurnius Piso

(2) many others have, themselves, previously followed this same trail of breadcrumbs.

This, then, is the method of learning that Josephus was really Calpurnius Piso!

That is, unless one happens to be an evangelist and has already been so informed in seminary or by another evangelist!

Faith Dealers – Library of Rickandria

It now quickly becomes apparent that Josephus was not an expatriate Jew who created Christianity in order to subvert or improve Rome; rather, he was a Roman who was Jewish only technically, because his Roman father had married a descendant of the Herods.

His actions were in order to spread the power of Rome and particularly of his own Calpurnius Piso family.

Thinking of Josephus as a Roman and not as a Jew, one then realizes his native language was not Hebrew nor Aramaic but Latin and Greek.

One begins to think of those various numbers used by him in his writings in terms of code in the Greek language.

Then, if he begins to work through the Greek alphabet, he finds the various numerical equivalents of the letters; and, ultimately, he may unravel Piso’s various numerical code systems.

X. THE INNER CIRCLE–“FOR NOW WE SEE YET IN A MIRROR IN A RIDDLE, BUT THEN FACE TO FACE… “(I Cor. 13.12)

This knowledge has always been the plaything of the (non-Jewish) intellectual theological, and political establishments of the world, who have always used it for population control.

Yet still today, almost no Jews know anything about this subject nor that our ancestors’ coded responses to Piso’s creation are scattered all through our ancient writings and ritual.

The only Jewish religious leadership who have known are the very few leaders who have espoused:

• wisdom
• understanding
• knowledge

Their acrostic was chosen because its initial letters totaled []14, and the total of all its letters in regular numbering was 614.

They did not tell their followers, but instead, being armed with the information, inspired them to be brave in dress and mobile in approach.

That was their way of answering the Pisos.

Although more than 99 and 44/100% of us Jews know nothing of all this, we think we know; and we spend our time disputing whether Mary was an almah (young woman) or besulah (virgin).

We think Jesus was historical, that he was a reformer who ran afoul Roman power and was crucified by it, and that later Paul convinced non-Jews that he was divine.

We fear to read the NT for dread it will jump up and bite us in the nose and because our tradition discourages reading it; whereas studying it and pondering its authorship is the first step to deciphering the mystery of the Gospel.

However, in those days Jews, and particularly their rabbis and leaders, knew what the Pisos were doing.

All three Jewish revolts against Rome occurred because of the efforts of the Pisos, through Roman power, to impose Christianity on the Jews.

Although today very few Jews—except particularly “Hebrew Christians” who are evangelists—know anything about this, yet in that day the Jewish leadership well knew.

Their own code responses are scattered all through the Jewish writings of that day and of some centuries thereafter, in:

• tales
• prayers
• ritual

and folklore.

For Jewish scholars created their own equivalents of Piso’s code systems and used them with which to answer him.

With their code, they referred to his code and to instances of his use of it; they showed they knew what he and his family were doing; and they expressed their determination that they and their people not to be taken in.

Repeatedly in their code they used numbers, words, and allusions to answer him and to express their defiance of his efforts against them.

But all this has tot centuries been unknown to almost all Jews.

They were forced to resort to code.

The Pisos, through Imperial power, were using the new faith deliberately as their instrument of control of the masses.

Writing of this openly would have brought Rome’s swift vengeance and the destruction of the Jewish people.

As it was, by the time the third Jewish revolt was crushed in 135, about half the eight million Jews in the empire as of the year 65 had perished in the wars.

The Jewish response after 135 was to turn away from worldly politics and inward to the world of Talmudic study.

Some illustrations of Jewish code responses have been stated, but for this explanation a detailed summary is not necessary.

For the proof in the writings of the Pisos and the other non-Jewish writers then, and likewise since, should be amply sufficient.

Many pages could be spent detailing the great numbers of writers who have used the Piso numbers and the other Inner Circle allusions since the first century.

A few examples will suffice:

“I want to make one thing perfectly clear.”

“My first clay in office was a perfect day.”

“It is far beyond our poor power to add or to detract. “

“Four score and seven years ago,”

that is 87.

It should be noted that it was in fact then 87 years since the Declaration of Independence, but this speech is the only one of Lincoln’s speeches which he started with a number.

14 stations of the Cross.

14 Point Peace Plan. 

“16 ton and what do you get?”

“When you were sweet 16.”

“The Power of Positive Thinking.”

“Possibility Thinking.”

Shylock Sherlock and the doughboys of WWI became the GI Joes of WWlI.

Long before, St. Patrick’s father had been given the name Calpurnius.

Hugo Gernsback, the father of modern Science Fiction (and who in fact coined the term) wrote a story in 1911.

He entitled it Ralph 124C 41 + and subtitled it A Romance of the year 2660.

There were originally 14 Wizard of Oz books; later there were 40.

A. Conan Doyle wrote 56 Sherlock Holmes stories, plus four short novels of Holmes’ adventures.

The total was 60.

An itinerant clergyman politician denigrated the Holocaust with the allegation that 60 million blacks were exterminated during the era of slavery.

We all know of famous evangelists who claim they had visions from the Lord at the age of 14 or 16!

Apollonius of Tyana (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλώνιος; Arabic: بلينس; Sanskrit: अपालुन्यः c. 15 – c. 100 AD) was a first-century Greek philosopher and religious leader from the town of Tyana, Cappadocia in Roman Anatolia, who spent his life travelling and teaching in the Middle East, North Africa and India. He is a central figure in Neopythagoreanism and was one of the most famous “miracle workers” of his day.

Fictionalized rewrites of the hidden career of Piso/Josephus appear in the “lives” of Apollonius of Tyana and of Judah Ben-Hur, the Judaean prince who was galley slave Number 60 until he was adopted by the Roman admiral to become “young Arrius”!

Inner Circle allusions—in numbers, names, and various types of clues and hints—are all through the world’s literature.

• The Gesta Romanorum
• Decameron
• Shakespeare
• Cervantes
• Rabelais
• Tolstoy
• Milton
• Spencer
• Tennyson
• Thackeray
• Kipling
• Stevenson
• Poe
• Burns
• Browning
• Noyes
• Pinocchio
• Peter Pan

ad infinitum.

As just one example, the poem which introduces Alice in Wonderland mentions:

• Prima
• Secunda
• Tertia

These are feminine forms of three of our old friends!

Also read Kipling’s story, The Bisara of Pooree: Besorah was the Hebrew word for glad tidings (Gospel in English), Pooree was an allusion to Mr. Poor!

Sherlock Holmes’ very last words to Watson in the very last story were,

“Someday, Watson, the true story may be told.”

Long before, in The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare prophesied:

“Truth will come to light … in the end truth will out” (Act II, Scene II)

Shakespeare: Intel Project – Library of Rickandria

Today Inner Circle numbers and other allusions appear not only in books and stories but also in:

• motion pictures
• television
• advertising

The Inner Circle continues inexorably to expand.

It was Piso himself who made possible all this deciphering and all the resulting allusions to his secret work.

The New Testament is decipherable only because in addition to being a mass murderer and the greatest writer and fabricator who ever lived (I give the devil his due, as did his son Julius in Revelation 13.18), Piso was the world’s greatest egotist.

He could not resist piling clue after clue and code system after code system into the NT.

He also repeatedly mocked his own work.

In Acts 13.6 (total 19) he and Justus inserted a false prophet named Barjesus (son of Jesus, i.e., Justus!).

In II Cor. 12.16, Justus, writing as Paul, boasted that he was crafty and took the believers in by deceit.

This knowledge was not intended for the average person but only for those somehow privileged to be members of this Inner Circle.

In C. S. Lewis’ The Inner Ring, (which appears in his book, The Weight of Glory) he wrote:

“But your genuine Inner Ring exists for exclusion.

There’d be no fun if there were no outsiders.

The invisible line would have no meaning unless most people were on the wrong side of it.

Exclusion is no accident; it is the essence.” [1]

Piso’s system, and later variations of it by means of new holy books such as:

• the Quran
• Das Capital
• Mein Kampf
• the Book of Mormon (with its additional created lineage of the tribe of Joseph)

has always been the ideal method with which to control people.

Piso, his family, and friends were Stoics —until they created Christianity and changed into the Church Fathers.

Stoics believed that people are motivated by, and controllable through, fear and hope.

Piso’s creation continued that method.

Always the Jews have been available as the repeated scapegoat for those who led, or wished to lead, the common folk—just as Piso, himself, made the Jews the scapegoat forevermore in his story, because their ancestors refused to accept it:

“His blood (be) on us and on our children” (Matthew 27.25)

Those Christians (certainly not loving Christians by today’s standards) who have been professional Jew-haters have loved using Inner Circle allusions when spreading hatred against Jews:

A.

The tall, pointed hat which medieval Jews were forced to wear was called the cornulum pileum [2] because its initials were CP.

B.

The Wandering Jew in Christian folklore was named sometimes Joseph (Josephus!) Cartaphilus [3]

For it contained the letters, rearranged, of Calpus; and this name had the initials JC; and it also contained the rearranged letters of the name Arius.

C.

Nazi Joseph Goebbels in 1935 said,

“Jewry must perish! has been our battle cry for the last 14 years.” [4]

D.

When Hitler launched Kristallnacht, the nazis then announced that (only) 36 Jews had been killed and 36 injured.

E.

Read Encyclopedia Britannica on Anti-Semitism.

Notice its discussion of the fictional Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. [5]

THE PROTOCOLS of the Learned Elders of Zion – Library of Rickandria

Britannica explains that supposedly those writings were based on secret Jewish meetings, numbering either 24, or in some versions 27.

These were Jesus (Josephus) and Pliny!

F.

The Ku Klux Klan’s name was from the Greek kuklos which meant a circle.

And each of the three “k’s” in Greek was 20, and together they total 60.

A recent Klan handbook has 27 pages.

The original great klan of course, was the Calpurnian clan, of which the Pisos became the greatest family!

Calpurnia gens – Wikipedia

The issue for Jews is not whether Jesus was an imposter nor whether or not he was framed (and if that were the issue, perhaps a Jew could rationalize —and we are excellent at rationalizing—why people have hated us for 1900 years).

Rather the leaders of the world have always known that this was a fictional story, with a fictional hero and fictional characters; and they have inflicted 1900 years of hatred and murder, playing God, because they knew their story was made up and, therefore, doubted God’s very existence at all.

Piso’s successors long accused “the Jews” of killing Jesus (and of continuing to reject him–which was tantamount to killing him again!) when in fact Piso himself had killed him in his own story.

Cock Robin’s death was self-inflicted!

Onto the myth of deicide, the world’s leaders had their poets and writers add such other hateful lies against Jews as the slanderous accusations of Host-desecration, the blood-libel, the Wandering Jew fable, the well poisoners, and more recently the international bankers.

JEWISH BANKSTERS’ WAR ON AMERICA & THE WORLD – Library of Rickandria

The Jew became to Christian folklore and the popular mind the embodiment of Satan. [6]

Who is Satan to the Jews? – Library of Rickandria

By painting the image of the Jew as evil and as cursed by God, the leaders were able to:

(A) Explain why the Jews had rejected and killed Jesus and still then continued unwilling to accept him.

(B) Explain why the Jews were still then being treated so badly.

(C) Have and utilize a convenient object on which to divert the dissatisfaction of their peoples.

A German general being asked at Nuremberg trials how the Holocaust events could have been permitted, replied,

“I am of the opinion that when for years, for decades, the doctrine is preached that Jews are not even human, such an outcome is inevitable.” [7]

The image of the Jew as somehow inherently evil persists till today.

Sometimes it seems to exist even independent of its theological underpinnings.

Because modern man no longer thinks only in theological terms—the haters have shifted the evil image, so it today largely rests on “conspiracy” instead of on deicide.

The wrongs, real or imagined, of a single Jew are imputed to allegedly conspiratorial Jews as a group.

The concentration Camp guards and SS who murdered Jews wore belt buckles which announced, “God is with Us,” and attended Mass on Sunday, and when they died, they were buried under crosses.

Hitler had attended a Catholic school.

Hitler’s Genealogy – Library of Rickandria

Years later he would claim he was doing the Church’s work against the Jews.

Nor has a single nazi murderer, and even Hitler, ever been excommunicated.

But no one thinks to blame all Christians or Catholics for the Holocaust, nor should they do so.

On the other hand, Karl Marx was converted by his father to Christianity at the age of six, was raised and schooled as a Christian and grew up to write vile things against Jews.

Hatred and suspicion of Jews still infect popular thinking everywhere.

To escape from it, some Jews flee to the idealistic movements of others, some to assimilation, some even to self-hate.

They are oblivious to the great secret which supports the hostile climate.

Although undreamed of by them, the secret has always been known to the world’s non-Jewish religious leadership and theologians.

As to Islam—its holy book, the Qur-an (Koran), mentions Jesus in 93 different verses [8]; places him in the line of prophets; and mentions him always as a historical person.

The Real Truth: Jews Promote Christianity & Islam – Library of Rickandria

This is even though he was Piso’s fictional creation.

The Koran’s Sura (chapter) XXVIII makes Pharaoh’s prime minister at the time Moses–Haman. 

Sura III makes the husband of Mary (Jesus’ mother) Imran (Amram).

In the Bible, Amram was actually Moses’ father!

Again, Sura XIX makes Mary (Jesus’ mother) also the sister of Aaron who in fact was Moses’ brother.

This confusion which made Jesus’ mother also Moses’ sister, was, if not Inner-Circle hinting, obviously erroneous.

However, there are indications that the founders of Islam too had Inner Circle knowledge:

A. There are 114 chapters in the Koran (because 100 is KP, and 14 equals 60 which is Kalpournios Piso).

B. Muhammad flies to Heaven from a bridge upon a fabulous animal, described either as a winged mare or as an ass. [9]

A mare is a female horse–and the horse was an allusion to Piso.

The ass was an allusion to Jesus.

C. The Koran (Sura IV) says that the Jews did not crucify Jesus, but rather the one who was represented for him in his likeness.

D. According to Arabs, the “beautiful names” of God are 99 in number; and there are 99 beads on the Moslem rosary, [10] which are divided into three groups of 33 each.

When the Catholic Church at Vatican II was debating to what degree it should exonerate the Jews of the charge of deicide, President Nasser of Egypt sent to the Church a manuscript arguing against the exoneration.

The manuscript was 600 pages in length.

As to the Communists–Karl Marx was a student of Bruno Bauer in a Berlin University. [11]

Bauer was the only Bible scholar who ever openly wrote that the NT arose from the synthesis of the ideas of Seneca and Josephus [12] (although, for whatever reason, omitting mention of Josephus’ father).

He also believed (correctly!) that Jesus was a creation by the composer of the Gospel of Mark. [13]

CP are the initials used for Communist Party.

Three Cs and a P appear as the Cyrillic initials for the USSR.

Pointedly on the 60th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, that country sent greetings to the American people.

It also mentioned, in boasting of the accomplishments of Soviet medicine, that a woman had been revived after appearing for 24 hours to have been dead!

Today, some of our Jewish brethren who were formerly atheists have “found” Jesus; and they, too, have gone into the evangelism business.

Messianic Judaism, the great balloon hoax of the 1970’s, knows much of this information.

Jews are being lured from their own religion by people for money and ego and because the enticers do not believe—as Piso, himself, did not believe—in God.

Who Created God If God Created Everything? – Library of Rickandria

Otherwise, they could not peddle what they know is not true.

Of course, nothing contained herein nor herewith questions the religious belief nor sincerity expressed by any person or group whomsoever.

Needless to say, you should be careful with this information.

For the world does, indeed, need Jesus, that is the Christian Bible and belief therein, until that far day when mankind shall have progressed to a higher level of conduct than anything in the foreseeable future—until all the sons of bosor (besorah) will call upon God’s name.

Piso himself teased that,

“There is nothing covered that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known”(Mat. 10.26).

Perhaps, he was thinking of those verses actually intended as prophecies and which appear in the Hebrew Scriptures (the only Bible):

“O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and (things) wherein (there is) no profit. Shall a man make gods unto himself, they (are) no gods?” (Jeremiah 16.19-20).

“Thus, saith the Lord of hosts: In those days it (shall come to pass), that ten men, out of all the languages of the nations, shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you; for we have heard (that) God is with you.” (Zechariah 8.23).

“And the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord…Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer…for my House shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations” (Isaiah 56.6-7).

XI. THE TRUTH MAKES FREE– IT IS NOT INCUMBENT UPON YOU TO FINISH THE WORK, YET YOU ARE NOT FREE TO DESIST FROM IT ” (Pirkei Avoth II.21).

Since Piso’s day, each few centuries have seen repeated holocausts against Jews.

And herein possibly lies a meaning from the recent Holocaust.

Jews can only be free of Piso’s story and of the Anti Semitism it has fostered, when they acquire POSitive PERception—insight into the creation of Christianity.

Only with that knowledge can they effectively struggle against attempts to eliminate them physically by holocausts or spiritually by craftiness and guile (II Cor. 12.16).

The Chazal totaled the commandments at 613.

They were willing to use 600 inconspicuously as part of the total.

But they openly used the number 13 in order to show their deliberate rejection of 14 and of Piso whom it represented.

Commitment to Jewish survival has recently been wisely urged as the answer to the recent Holocaust, and the 614th commandment. [11]

But in addition, when Jews know and remember why this and all the other holocausts occurred, will this truth, in the words of John 8.32, in fact make them free.

Free–of Piso’s story!
