Y’shua to Zeus

While it is true that Iesous became the Greek substitute for Yehoshua (Greek Septuagint translation of the Tanakh), it is also true that the Greek language is very capable of reproducing the name of Yehoshua (Y’shua) with exact sonic pronunciation. However, an etymological link evolved between Iesous, Zeus, and Jesus, pronounced: Ie-soos, Zoos; and Jee-zuhs. Regardless as to whether one recognizes sonic similarities or not, there are many other factors that connect the Christian worship of Jesus to Zeus. Notice “Elizeus” in the 1611 King James Version (Luke 4:27), spelled exactly as seen here, is a name that weds the pagan deity Zeus with the Elohim of Israel. While this is clear evidence of a blatant pagan connection to Zeus worship, we’ve only begun to scratch the surface.

Historians have noted that for many centuries busts of Zeus were prominently displayed in many Christian churches throughout Europe – not only Catholic Churches where idolatry is a normative, but also in “Orthodox” churches. The original busts of Zeus were imported into the most prominent front and center parts of “Christian sanctuaries.” Rav Shaul’s letters had not been heeded by the Church. In the year 230 C.E. the Christian “Church Founder” Tertullian wrote: “By us [Gentile Christians] who are strangers to (Jewish) Sabbaths, and new moons, and festivals, once acceptable to God, the Saturnalia, the feasts of January, the Brumalia, and Matronalia are now frequented, with gifts being carried to and fro.”

Early in Roman church history it was very fashionable to syncretize pagan worship into Christianity. One of the most evident pagan elements is the sun-child of December 25^th who became the son-child of “Mary the mother of God.” Ishtar, from where the fish symbol originated, was also a carry-over into Christianity, and transubstantiation is another pagan right that was ripped right out of paganism and dropped into the Easter wafer, in which most Christians indulge.

As mentioned before, the Vatican sports a huge brazen obelisk at the center of St. Peter’s square that was brought to the Church from Heliopolis, Egypt, by the Roman emperor Caligula. The obelisk is a phallic symbol (penis) that dedicates the Roman Catholic Church to sun worship in the name of Ishtar (Easter). Caligula considered himself god and demanded worship as a physical god – not unlike the Catholic Pope who postures himself as being infallible and in the place of god. The difference between modern Catholicism and paganism is mere semantics. The Catholic Church demonstrates all manner of demonic spirit that Caligula himself “enjoyed,” including an abundance of extremely high level paedophile sex crimes. Those who are not Catholic, however, need not point their fingers, because every Christian who erects a Christmas tree or attends church on Sunday or celebrates Easter or Valentines Day is blindly following Roman Catholic authority.

Y’shua Mashiyach is the Government of YHWH, he is altogether Righteous, Just and Lawful, but most Christians are adamant that “Jesus did away with the Law.” There is plenty of evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Mashiyach Y’shua has been utterly betrayed by the vast majority of Christianity. But the greatest “slap in the face” to Mashiyach, is that when Christians are Scripturally presented with the truth about Mashiyach Y’shua, rather than repenting and turning to YHWH, most choose to ignore the Truth, and continue to follow pagan customs. Most Christians ask, “What difference does it make?” because they see no difference between the absolute Truth of the Perfect Mashiyach verses a false religious system that invented Je-Zeus according to a mixture of truth and paganism.

The distinctions of Mashiyach’s Government are universal and unchanging regardless of how he is personified by Christians, Jews, Muslims and all other religions, Although Christians may posture a Jesus deity according to Greco-Roman and pagan traditions, and may even give themselves exclusivity to the Kingdom of Elohim, the fact remains that Y’shua gave plenty of warnings against man’s traditions when he said: “It will not be that just anyone who says to me “My master, my master.” Will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, “My master, my master. By your name, have we not prophesied? And by your name have we cast out demons? And by your name have we done many miracles?” And then I will profess to them that from everlasting, I have not known you. Depart from me, you workers of iniquity! Anyone, therefore, who hears my words, these, and does them, will be likened to a wise man who built his house upon a stone” (Matthew 7:21-24).

Y’shua used many parables and metaphors to bring the point across that the carnal nature of man must die so the spiritual man can live within him. There are no religious substitutes that can be given in exchange for living a righteous lifestyle in Mashiyach. Everyone who has put forth an effort to live a life pleasing to Master YHWH, regardless of religion, has experienced what it means to bear the infamy of truth and make war against the carnal nature; which is why Y’shua said, “… I say to you, that unless you eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in Qnoma. And he who eats from my body and drinks from my blood has life that is everlasting, and I will raise him up on the last day. For truly my body is food and truly my blood is drink. He who eats my body and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him. As the Living Father has sent me, and I live because of the Father, and whoever eats of me he also will live because of me. This is the Bread that has descended from Heaven. It is not as manna your forefathers ate and died. He who eats this Bread will live forever!” (John 6:53-58).
