It was also the teaching from the very beginning that Jesus was God-incarnate. Like "past", "present", and "future" are three manifestations of time; whereas God exists simultaneously in the "past", "present", and "future", all at once, in the dimension of the so-called Eternal "Now". The "Trinity" is not three gods but three manifestations of the ONE true God. The "Father" is invisible except as He has embodied Himself and made Himself visible in the "Son". The "Son", Jesus, the visible human-incarnate of the "Father", who said He and the "Father" are "one", reveals the "Father" hitherto invisible. The "Father" is logically first, but not chronologically so; for , the "Son" exists as long as the "Father" exists, according to the Bible [Jn 1:1,2]. The "Father" acts and reveals Himself through the "Son". It is through the "Son" that the "Father" enters human life and fellowships with the human-race. As the "Son" came from the "Father", so the "Holy Spirit" in turn proceeds from the "Son". Jesus, the "Son", said just before His accession that in ten days He shall send His spirit, however, the "New Testament" says that the Spirit that came ten days hence was the "Holy Spirit", who "filled" the 120 people in the "Upper Room" when The Church was born at "Pentecost", thus, His Spirit is the "Holy Spirit". The invisible "Father" issuing into the visible "Son", proceeds from the "Son" into the "Holy Spirit" and becomes invisible again.

The Jews knew Jesus after Joseph’s death by the style "Son of David" (Mt 21:9) by which He accepted His royal heritage as the "royal Davidic heir"; for, His foster-father Joseph [who adopted Him] was the "royal Davidic heir" of his generation (Mt 1:20). Jesus was the only one in His time who had the "title" in conformity with Jewish practice, and there was a vacancy in the Babylonian Exilarchate [the monarchical office held by another branch of the Jewish Royal House which remained in exile], hence, Jesus had no dynastic rivals. The heir to the throne was always known, no matter what his station in life was, for the Jews were very careful to keep accurate records especially of the genealogy of their old royal house, which held them all together as one great worldwide family. Therefore, since Jesus was known as Joseph’s son He was also known as the "Son of David" after Joseph’s death and thus was the heir to the throne! The knowledge that Jesus was the rightful heir to the throne is not unbelievable. The tradition of Jesus’ Davidic descent was early known (Rom 1:3); and we know from Hegesippus that Jesus’ relatives were known to be of royal Davidic descent. The validity of Joseph's claim to the throne was never challenged by the Jewish authorities of that generation, for it appears that the genealogy of Joseph had been publicly verified by the records in the nation’s archives; however, the Jewish authorities, who were cozy with the occupying Romans, appear to have challenged Jesus' claim to the throne on the basis of some early rumors that He was illegitimate and not really Joseph’s son. There were rumors that circulated that Mary had conceived Jesus out of harlotry from a Roman soldier on her visit to her aunt, Elizabeth. This allegation later became the official Jewish view of Jesus’ birth. It is true that Joseph was not Jesus’ father, but it is false that He was begotten out of harlotry, for He was virgin-born.

The Jews saw Jesus as just another "Son of David" [royal Davidic heir] in succession from King David’s son, Solomon, and the Judahite kings, then, of course, the "brothers" of Jesus claimed the succession to the throne after Him, and they then expected not Jesus but one of themselves or a descendant of theirs to restore the "kingdom" and monarchy with the Davidic Dynasty back on the throne. But, to Christians, Jesus was more than a successor to King David’s throne, but was the "eschatological-heir" to the throne.

The Christian View is that the Bible text that refer to a future king the Davidic Dynasty is suppose to produce, called "Messiah" ["Christ"], has already appeared in history as Jesus, who is called both "the root" and "offspring" of David (Rev 22:16), for since the "New Testament" Jesus is the incarnation of the "Old Testament" Jehovah [Yah-weh], All-Mighty God, the supreme-being, who existed before the world was. Jesus is both "the root" of David as well as David's "offspring", therefore, the throne was actually His [Jesus'] before David was even born, though, according to "the flesh", Jesus is David’s "seed" or "offspring", and, as such was in the line of succession to the throne, of which He is the eschatological heir, who is to fulfill God’s covenant to David in an everlasting dynasty in Himself as David’s "seed" (Rom 1:3), "according to the flesh", by His eternal-life, and, as God-Incarnate, realize the everlasting reign of God on the earth, and introduce an eternal "Golden Age". Jesus taught that at His "Second Coming" in great glory He would establish the kingdom of God on the earth, reign as world-king from His throne on "Mt. Zion" [="Zionism"], one of the five hills of Jerusalem [where King David built his castle], or, either on the Temple Mount, also called "Mount Moriah", and, to those who accept His rule in their lives, He is Savior-Messiah-Lord (Rom 10:9-15), but to those who reject His rule in their lives, He is judge (Jn 5:22; Rom 2:16). The Bible says that the entire human-race shall some future time pay Israel's Messiah obeisance as their absolute master.

As the eschatological-heir, Jesus fulfills all of the covenants God has made with man. The first covenant God made with the human race was the "Edenic-Covenant", which was made by God with Adam and Eve (Gen 3:15), which was illustrated to them by the blood and slaughter of a lamb to make their "coats of skin" [animal-hide], which was to picture the blood sacrifice of a sin-bearer. The "blood sacrifice" was the only way for sinful man to approach God, who is holy. Adam and Eve taught this to their children, for we see that Abel approached God by a "blood-sacrifice", which God accepted, but God rejected the "sacrifice of works" offered upon the altar by Cain [which, essentially, is the difference between Judeo-Christianity, representing Abel's "blood-sacrifice", and Islam, representing Cain's "works-sacrifice"]. The second covenant God made with man was the "Noahic-Covenant"; the third was the "Abrahamic-Covenant"; another was the "Mosaic-Covenant" [Judaism], by which the nation of Israel was created; another was the "Davidic-Covenant" [= "Zionism"], by which the Davidic Dynasty was given a divine mandate of world-rule; which all are fulfilled in the "New Covenant" made between God and Jesus, which is today called "Christianity", the fulfillment of Judaism.

The rabbis, scribes, and other religious leaders, rejected Jesus for what they thought were His blasphemous and exorbitant claims to be God-Incarnate. The penalty for blasphemy was death; for which they thought Jesus was guilty, but they were wrong! The miracles that Jesus performed testified to who He was, and energized the Jewish population with messianic hope. The Jewish authorities, fearful that the growing popularity of Jesus would cause an uprising, and that "the Romans would come and take their nation away", conspired to kill Jesus, to stop the movement for the restoration of the Davidic Dynasty and the revival of the Jewish Kingdom, for, indeed, Jesus was leading to a confrontation with the Romans, and the Temple priests paid "thirty pieces of silver" to Judas Iscariot, one of His twelve disciples, who betrayed Jesus with a kiss.

The perfection of divine rule was revealed by Jesus, who was called both the "Son of Man" and the "Son of God", whose kingship He taught would be marked by service to His people. He would serve them as their shepherd, so that they would be a well-cared for flock, and His people would in return attend upon Him as His servants and give Him worship. The ministry of Jesus included feeding the people, healing the people, and defending the people, which were the basic duties of the ancient Hebrew kings. [That would translate today as government assistance to the public for food, clothes, and housing, as well as free medicine and health care services.]

The climax of man’s rejection of God’s rule was when Pilate presented Jesus to the people as their king, to which the people shouted back, saying: "we will not have this man to reign over us" (Lk 19:14b). It reminds one of the 1649 trial and execution of King Charles I of Britain by the kangaroo "rump-parliament"; as well as the 1689 "convention-parliament" which deposed King James II of Britain; and, a paraphrase of those very words are the essence of the "Declaration of Independence" in reference to King George III by the 1776 American "continental-congress", regardless that these three kings were each "The Lord's Anointed" with a divine mandate to rule, which were the three great rebellions against the British Crown. Jesus' mockery as king during His trials sounds remarkably like the Carabas incident reported by Philo in "Against Flaccus" [again, Crossan notes this], which also echoes the Barabbas episode. The crowd or riotous mob forced Pilate to condemn Jesus by threatening to report his delinquency to Caesar. Jesus was executed as a claimant to the throne according to the sign posted on the cross above His head which read: "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (Mk 15:26).The execution of Jesus as "King of the Jews" was described like that of the later Jewish King Simon Bar-Gjora outside Rome.

The Jews did NOT kill Jesus! For Jesus Himself said that "no man taketh my life; I can lay it down and I can take it up again", which He did proving that He was the Old Testament God Jehovah come incarnate in the New Testament as Jesus. The same God that appeared in the "burning-bush" to Moses and again later on Mount Sinai where He authorized the religion of "Judaism" and gave Moses the "Ten Commandments", came incarnate to fulfill Judaism, which gave birth to Christianity, Judaism's fulfillment!

There are many instances in the synoptic gospels in which the messianic status of Jesus is affirmed through supernatural means: (a) on the occasion of Jesus’ baptism when a heavenly voice believed to be the voice of God-Almighty declares, "Thou art My beloved Son" (Mt 3:17; Mk 1:11; Lk 3:22; compare Jn 1:34); (b) on the occasion of Jesus’ transfiguration into a surrealistic-being when a heavenly voice declares, "This is My beloved Son"; hear ye Him!" (Mt 17:5; Mk 9:7; Lk 9:35); (c) "Peter’s Confession" that Jesus was Messiah/Christ (Mt 16:16; Mk 8:29; Lk 9:20) which also exhibits a divine oracle [The Holy Spirit] (Mt 16:17). Jesus said He would build His Church upon "Peter's Confession". It was this Bible verse that gave rise to the fourth-century heresy that Jesus was referring not to "Peter’s Confession" but to Peter himself as the foundation-stone of the Church, though Jesus is clearly called "the foundation-stone" of the Church in scripture. Too, a series of angelic disclosures and prophetic utterances revealed the messianic status of Jesus.

Jesus, whom Christians revere as "God’s Christ", or the Jewish Messiah, the very incarnation of the Hebrew God Yahweh/Jehovah, who, virgin-born as His own "Son" of a mortal-woman, "The Virgin Mary", a scion of the ancient Jewish Davidic royal house, is the focus of Christianity as "The Holy One", who was slain by crucifixion as a human-sacrifice for the sins of the human-race on a cross on Skull Hill [Calvary] outside of Jerusalem at the time of the Jewish Feast of Passover when the paschal-lamb is slain, which lamb and sacrifice was a picture of Jesus, our "paschal-lamb", and His passion; which tradition was begun by Moses [who prophesied of Jesus, as "that prophet"] to illustrate to the Jewish people the [then, future] "Sacrifice of Jesus", the 14th of Nissan (circa AD29/33). The "Passover" fell on a Friday on (a) 15 April AD 29; (b) 7 April AD 30; (c) 3 April AD33; and, for the Wednesday-Theorists, "Passover" fell on a Wednesday on 9 April AD 31. The AD 33 date for the crucifixion of Jesus has appeal in that there is astronomical evidence that the Passover Sabbath fell on the seventh-day Sabbath day on the night of the full moon which occurred after the spring equinox. According to this date, the day the full moon occurred was on Friday, April 3rd, at 5:13 p.m.; and, the 14th day of Jewish month Nisan in AD 33.

There is a verse in the Bible which has the phrase "Jesus, our Passover", speaking what the prophet John "The Baptist" meant when he called Jesus "The Lamb of God"; for when the Hebrew patriarch Isaac asked his father Abraham where the lamb was for the sacrifice that Abraham replied saying God Himself would provide "The Lamb". And, by the "Sacrifice of Jesus", God could reclaim His lost creation. For, by His sacrifice, the price was paid by Jesus for the sins of the human-race. This is the "New Covenant" instituted by Jesus at The "Last Supper" with the sacraments of the bread, repressing His body "broken" in sacrifice, and, the wine, representing His blood shed in sacrifice, which essentially was the same ritual recorded in Genesis 14:18, in which a pre-incarnation of Jehovah-Jesus, Melchizedek, makes a covenant with Abraham with the bread and wine sacraments.

The body of Jesus was claimed on St. Mary's behalf by her next-of-kin, her uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, and, as the authorities were then arguing about how to dispose of Jesus' body, either by burying it in "the potter’s field" or by burning it in the trash heaps outside the city’s gates, they had to give Jesus' body over to Joseph of Arimathea, who had Pilate's orders. The body of Jesus was taken down from The Cross by Joseph of Arimathea assisted by the Pharisee Nicodemus as well as by the three Marys; and laid the body in a garden tomb, cause it was nigh and it was fast approaching sunset.

The sins of the human-race took Jesus to Hell, but Death and Hell could not hold Him, because they were not His sins. Jesus was the first human-being [the human-side of Jesus in contrast to His divine side] to be "born-again" [as He says we all must be]. Indeed, in the torments of Hell is where Jesus was "born again". He burst out of Hell, defeated Satan and all his forces of evil spirits, and put Satan on public display before his defeated forces in the spirit-world which is another dimension. The Bible compared it to a Roman "triumph" with Jesus as "The Mighty Conqueror" and victor over Satan and his demonic kingdom, "since He rent the veil in two".

Then, early in the morning on the third day Jesus re-entered His body, which had lain in a tomb for three days, which underwent a metamorphosis, and rose from the dead in a glorified-immortal human form, the 17th of Nissan, to the shock and horror of the guards posted at His tomb. The initial radiation-flash that began the metamorphosis left a photocopy of Jesus’ battered dead corpse on the "Shroud of Turin", Jesus’ burial cloth [called The "Mandylion" in ancient times], which is a witness to the world that Jesus is alive!

Then, Jesus collected His Holy Blood [which could not corrupt] into a cup, called "The Holy Chalice", the celestial-version of the terrestrial-model of the "Holy Grail", which He sat on the "mercy-seat" of the celestial-prototype of the "ark-of-the-covenant" in "The-Holy-of-Holies", in the celestial-prototype of the tabernacle and temple, Heaven’s Temple, "built without hands" upon His ascension. The "Holy Grail" is the symbol of the "New Covenant" announced by Jesus, just like the "ark-of-the-covenant" is the symbol of the "Old Covenant" announced by Moses.

"Paradise" [called "Abraham’s Bosom"], deep in the bowels of the earth, was emptied by Jesus of all the Old Testament saints that is, from Adam and Eve to the repentant thief crucified next to Jesus on the Cross; either Dismas or Gestas, the two thieves crucified on His either side; and, the Old Testament saints were witnesses of Jesus in Jerusalem and Judea for forty-days following the resurrection (Mt 27:52-53); after which Jesus gathered His disciples on the Mount-of-Olives and ascended up into the sky to Heaven. He took with Him all the Old Testament saints whom He had liberated from the "Terrestrial-Paradise" in a "triumphal procession" on the main-street of Heaven, the "Celestial-Paradise", to the cheers of all of God's angels. And, Jesus, "The Mighty Conqueror", the victorious savior of the souls of the former-occupants of the earth's bowels, presented them as trophies to God-Almighty on His universal-throne in Heaven. [The reference to a mineral "Eden" [Paradise] in Ezekiel 28:13 contrasts to the vegetable "Eden" [Paradise] in Genesis 2:8, hence, we have more than one place called "Paradise" in scripture.]

Meantime, the Holy-Spirit is operating now in the earth collecting a body-of-people from the earth's population to be Christ’s "Bride". The Church Universal is Jesus' future wife. For, as the "first" Adam had a bride, Eve; so, the "last" [sometimes "second"] Adam, i.e., Christ, will also have a bride. The harem of King Solomon's 1000 wives is a proto-type of the 1000x1000 wives Jesus will have in His future kingdom on this earth. Jesus never married during His human experience, despite the opinions of the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", "Da Vinci Code", "Jesus Dynasty", and other books like these, that He surely did not break the "Nazarite Vow" [see "Unger's Bible Dictionary", pages 779-780, for the provisions of the "Nazarite Vow"]. He was obliged to and remained celibate during His human experience, for it was not a part of His mission during His incarnation to marry; but, waited then and still waits today for his future bride, the Church Universal, His 1000x1000 wives.

Jesus and his brothers and other kinsmen were of the House of David, and the descendants of Jesus' (so-called) "brothers" came to be known as the "Desposyni"/"Desposynoi", meaning literally in Greek "The Master’s Kin", took the surname "Kyriakon", meaning "The Lord's House". This name was reserved exclusively for Jesus' earthly relatives. The Jerusalem Church from its beginning, was governed by the original Jewish descendants of Jesus' human relatives, i.e., the "Desposyni". The "Desposyni"/"Desposynoi", that is, the "kindred" of Jesus, and their male-line descendants were honored in very high degree both by Christians and by various Jewish interest groups alike, as heirs of ancient Jewish royalty, and/or as earthly representatives of "Christ", the eternal king of the universe.

In the Davidic Covenant God promised David an everlasting kingdom ruled by a Davidic heir of his line, which position is now forever filled by our Messiah, Jesus. On that much all believers agree. What some don't see, though, is that God also promised David a HOUSE to continue before him forever - forever means forever! A "house" in this context is an earthly royal family to carry on Jesus' Dynasty, which in this case is the earthly interests of both the "Davidic House" and the "Jesus Dynasty" combined together in one cause.

How was David's House [i.e. patriarchal family] being rebuilt and restored in apostolic times? It is clear that this has the Messiahship of Jesus as the principle feature in view. However, it goes beyond that to the restoration of the Davidic Dynasty back upon Israel's throne. In point of fact, James himself, as a royal Davidic heir, was proof of the fulfillment of this. Through the restoration of Davidic leadership God was gathering both the "Remnant" of Israel and "all the Gentiles who bear His [the Lord's] name" as "Christians".

The Jews regarded the series of "patriarchs" of the "Nazarene-Sanhedrin", what Christians called the successive "bishops"/"apostles" of the Church, "the [original] papacy", that is, the "n'tzarim" as "the successors of Jesus, through St. James" as though Jesus was Himself just one more successor to the Israeli/Palestinian "Nasi'im", that is, the successors of the ancient Judahite kings, who could be succeeded by the next in line to the throne, which at that time in history was Christianity's "Holy Family", i.e., the "Desposyni".

Many early Christian churches were governed by a "desposynos" [desposynic prince], during the first, second, and third centuries of our common era. The Desposyni preserved the "memory of their royal extraction" throughout the NT period. They would not have done that had they felt their Davidic lineage to be irrelevant. Their claims to be the successors of "another king", one, Jesus, other than Caesar (Acts 17:7), made them rivals of the Roman emperors, and, as such the emperors Domitian, Trajan, and Hadrian, carried out proceedings against the "Desposyn[o]i", i.e., descendants of Christianity's "Holy Family".

The emblem, or coats-of-arms of the "Desposyni" varied from a depiction of the "madonna and child", to a depiction of the "paschal lamb" crucified on a cross, to a depiction of "The Holy Grail" painted on a round shield with the supporters of a lion [representing "Judah"] and a unicorn [representing the "Desposyni"], and, its crest was the six-pointed "Star of David" inside the circle of the sun shining at its strength and splendor.

The "Jesus Dynasty" is first found as kings/or princes of the Roman province of "Province" in Southern France, where the Romans had settled the 100,000 [or more] Jews taken captive following the 1st Roman War (66-73). When, naked beaten Jewish soldiers in chains led by their king, Simon Bar Gjora, who also was naked and beaten by Roman soldiers, were featured by the Roman Emperor Titus in his "Triumph" through the streets of Rome. More Jewish captives were settled in Province, Southern France, following the 2nd Roman War (132-135), such that Province evolved culturally into a Jewish/Christian state inside the Roman Empire which was still pagan. The "Jesus Dynasty", that is, the descendants of "Saint James", were the hereditary prefects of Province. The dynastic house of the Prefect of Province divided into three families in the early fifth century, one of which [the main-line] became extinct when the Visi-Goths conquered "Province", slaying its last marquis Nascien III in 412, when Province was lost to the Roman Empire and settled by barbarians.

Next, the "Jesus Dynasty" reappears as kings of Armorica [Brittany; Bretagne] (circa 383-990). In AD 383 the Roman Emperor Maximus gave the French province of Bretagne (English: Brittany), then, called "Armorica", to the desposynic prince Conan "Meriadoc" as his estate, who became its first king, and, the founder of the dynasty that ruled Bretagne to AD 990, when the dynasty's main-line ends with an heiress, however, there were several secondary-lines which suddenly came forward presenting their claims to the royal succession.

Another great family of the "Jesus Dynasty" gave France its first king, Faramond, in 418, but his house became extinct in the male line upon the murder of Faramond's son following Faramond's own death, in 428.

Then, the "Jesus Dynasty" reappears as the Stewarts/Stuarts of Scotland and England who today perpetuate the "sacred blood" in their veins.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James was the oldest half-brother [or, cousin] of Jesus "The Christ" (Matt 13:55; Mark 6:3; Gal 1:19). James did not believe in Jesus during His earthly ministry (Jno 7:5), but after witnessing Christ's appearance following His resurrection (1 Cor 15:7), he became a believer. He was among those who assembled together after the ascension of Jesus Christ to Heaven (Acts 1:14) and on whom the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4). He afterwards appears as the leader of the church in Jerusalem (Acts 12:17; 15:13-21; Gal. 1:19). Paul mentions James in 1 Cor 9:5 in a way that suggests James had been married and was a widower; and Jude (Judas) called "the son of James" in Luke 6:16 is generally regarded as his son. It is said of Saint James "Major" that after his wife's death and his last child came of age that he dedicated himself to God's service, and took the "Nazarite vow". He quit drinking wine, and began to keep all of the Mosaic laws, even the dietary laws abstaining from all non-kosher foods. He never wore woolen, only linen garments, which is commanded by God to priests. He let his hair and beard grow long and his story may be compared to the story of England's King Edward The Confessor. His esteem and respect cannot be overestimated for over time he became larger than life in the economy of the Jewish people.

Too, St. James appears as a king sitting upon a throne, called "Saint James' Throne", as the "overseer" of all Christians everywhere, for Christ's Church was seen as a Nation [Christendom] united in Christ by the "n’tzari paqid" or "pope", the occupant of the "Holy See", that is, the "papacy", and its monarchical government-system, who and his successors "held in trust" the Throne of Jesus, as Christ’s vicar. St. James was the leader of public worship, and presided over all Christian gatherings. St. James was called "chief apostle", and associated with him were a college of twelve presbyters, also called apostles (Acts 11:30). The monarchial episcopate of Saint James extended over all churches everywhere; and, the first duty of every Christian was to enroll into the membership of their local church. St James was martyred in AD62. His was survived by three sons, who were:

(a) Jude, id. with Judas [Justus I] "Gaiso", 3rd Bishop 107-111, ancestor of the Prefects of Province

(b) John, "the brother of Jude", was another of James' sons, ancestor of a descent-line of some of the bishops of the Jerusalem Church, 1st & 2nd series

(c) Jose [whose epithet was "Mar"], who was said to have been a son of James, "the Lord's brother", was the ancestor of the hereditary bishops of Seleucia, in Syria, the last one of whom was Papa (d329), upon whose childless death his descent-line fails.

Pilate was recalled by Roman Emperor Tiberius in AD 36 over his mismanaging of Judea's affairs. No procurator was appointed and Vitellius was to assume Roman authority over Judea. He appointed Jonathan Ananias [son of Annas] to be High Priest on his visit to Jerusalem during the Passover, AD 36, and gave power of "de facto" rulership as he was involved in preparation for war with the Arabs who had beat Herod in battle. From the Passover, AD 36, to the Pentecost, AD 37, when Vittelian returned to visit, Jonathan had full reign to take revenge on the infant Nazarene [Jerusalem] Church. This led to the stoning and death of St. Stephen, "Christianity's First Martyr", in AD 36.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Chief Apostle", Supreme Pontiff or "N’tzari Paqid" of the Orthodox Catholic Church sat on a throne, called "St. James’ Throne", which doubled for David’s Throne, i.e., the "world-throne", i.e., the messianic throne. The term "n’tzari paqid" meaning "overseer of the Nazarenes", which "Christians" were originally called, was the first term for "pope", as Christ’s vicar. Epiphanus, Bishop of Salamis (367-404), wrote: "Saint James, the first to whom Jesus, The Lord, entrusted His Throne upon the earth..., until His return." This is an extremely interesting piece of information. It provides testimony that is was Jesus Himself who entrusted His throne on earth to His (so-called) brother, "Saint" James, and his successors, by the words "the first", indicating a dynastic succession. In "Acts" (2:30) there is an allusion to a throne, that is, David’s Throne, now, however, to be Jesus’ Throne, and presumably in succession to Him, entrusted it to "Saint" James, who would pass it on after his demise. Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea (264-340), repeatedly refers to "St. James' Throne" as a holy relic of some kind as perhaps a chair somehow connected to Jesus [doubtless He once sat upon it] that "has been preserved to this day with great care"; and, said that all of the successive pontiffs of The Holy See were ceremoniously inaugurated on that throne until the time of Hermes, the last "desposynic" Supreme-Pontiff or Chief-Apostle of the Jerusalem Church, who was the last to be installed upon it. He was martyred during the terrible persecution of the Roman Emperor Diocletian in 304 when the chair itself disappears from history. The chair reappears several centuries later, and may be seen today [vacant] in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

St. James as Supreme-Pontiff alone had the power to convene church councils, which James did and oversaw: especially the famous Council of AD 49 when it was ruled that one need not become a Jew before one could become a Christian, and used the rite of circumcision as the vehicle to argue.

In AD 62/63, about the time the "Gospel of John" was written, the Sanhedrin excommunicated and excluded from the synagogue anyone who recognized Jesus as the Messiah (Jn 9:22), and stripped all Jewish Christians of their citizenship in the Jewish Nation. This was followed by a terrible persecution of the Christians by the Jews. James the Just was tried by the Sanhedrin for blasphemy. There on the parapet of the temple of Herod, he was murdered by clubbing to death by the priests under Ananus the Younger. His body was thrown over the parapet of the temple to the Kidron Valley below. There outside the walls of the temple in the Kidron Valley below, the members of the "Nazarene Ecclesia" recovered the body of their revered leader and buried Saint James in an "ossuary" or human bone box which has recently been discovered and on the side of the simple and non-ornamented bone box was inscribed the simple yet riveting inscription in Aramaic, "Ya'akov bar Yosef akhui diYeshua", saying, "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus".

In Year 63, the 1st imperial persecution, under Nero, began. Vespasian, after the capture of Jerusalem, AD 70, issued an order to ensure that no one who was of royal stock should be left alive among the Jews, that all descendants of King David should be ferreted out, and for this reason a further widespread persecution was again inflicted upon the Davidids, both Christian and Jewish branches.

In Year 81, the 2nd imperial persecution, under Domitian, began

(a) three sons of St James, the eldest of the Lord's brothers, who were: (1) Jude, id. with Judas [Justus I] "Gaisco", 3rd Bp of Jeru c107-111; & his brothers (2) John & (3) Jose "Mar";

(b) Josue El-Harami & Jasna "Piliste", the two sons of Jose[ph] "Ha-Rama-Theo", another of the Lord's brothers;

(c) Zakkai, 4th Bp of Jeru Church, son of Simon, one of the Lord's brothers;

(d) the grandsons of Jude "of Galilee", another of the Lord's brothers, namely, James & Zoker. These were informed against as being of David's line and brought...before Domitian Caesar...Domitian asked them whether they were descended from David, and they admitted it...."

The Roman emperors feared the Davidic Dynasty and Jesus, representing another descent-line. The Jerusalem Christian Bishops were all drawn from the same blood relations of Jesus. They claimed spiritual and sometimes even temporal authority by divine right. It was believed of the "Jesus' Dynasty" members that their very physical blood was unique by being the same as that of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Their Davidic/Jesus bloodline is the basis on which they controlled much of Christianity and had final authority in all theological disputes that occurred among the world's churches and united Christians everywhere under themselves as king-like figures.

It was in AD 96 that Domitian, as Emperor, hunting down all potential aspirants to the Throne of David, transported James and Zoker [the grandsons of Jude "of Galilee", one of The Lord's brothers"] to Rome to be questioned by the Emperor. They were released when it became clear they were poor peasants, owning 39 acres of land, which they tilled for a living and had no political or religious aspirations.

This historic record informs us that Davidic leadership continued in the Churches into the 2nd century after the original twelve apostles had died off the scene. This leadership of the churches by members of the House of David had held the heretics in check from taking over the Church. During this period the churches enjoyed profound peace from the Lord, being in submission to Messiah’s Davidic Kingdom government. However, a plot to take over the leadership of the Church from the Despsoyni was hatched and employed by an underground heretical element. By betraying Symeon to death and stirring up the ire of the Roman government against the House of David the apostates were able to drive the Desposyni underground and take over the temporal leadership of the Church. This was a pivotal event in Church History, though given little if any mention by Church historians, since this power-grab established the element of illegitimate Church authority that developed in time into the apostate Roman Church. Of course, from the time of it’s ungodly rise to power, the Roman Church has played down the role of the "Desposyni" so as to portray itself as the rightful heir by "Apostolic Succession." No doubt important historical records were ferreted out and destroyed to cover up the Gentile power grab, which is why the cover-up has apparently succeeded to this day.

In Year 98: the 3rd imperial persecution, under Trajan, began

Apparently one of these "heretics" of Davidian blood informed the Roman authorities that Simeon ben Cleopas was a Davidian and a follower of Yahshua [Jesus]. By this date, the followers were known to the Romans as "Christians" at least to Eusebius two centuries later.

The descendants of the House of David were thus seen as a thorn in the side of worldly rulers from Herod's time forward. That does not mean David’s House, which the Lord swore "will endure forever" no longer exists. To illustrate, Yeshua/Jesus was only about 40 generations removed from His forefather, David. According to the "thousand generations" rule of Exodus 20:6 above, David’s line would be blessed for another 960 generations, or so, after the coming of Messiah! We are therefore safe in saying God has preserved David’s House even if man has attempted to destroy the records. This has been the case with the House of David ever since the official records were destroyed, and was the case with Saint James, the Lord’s brother and fellow-kinsman of David, whose role in the Early Church was semi-hereditary.

It was considered a crime to be of the House of David, and Simon, leader of the Church, was deprived of his life because of this "crime." Simon’s Davidic lineage was the defining fact of who he was. It was both the reason he was installed as leader of the Church and the reason he was betrayed and murdered by the Romans. Notice also that an active search was made to hunt down the remaining members of the Royal Family of King David. Why? Because their royal lineage made them a threat to the Empire, as well as to the heretics that sought to take over the leadership of the Church.

Hegessipus [as recounted by Eusebius] says, Simon was killed about AD 106 during a time of persecution under the emperor Trajan (Ecclesiastical History 3:32). One intent of this persecution, which began with an order by Domitian, was to eliminate all Jews of the Davidic line, which would have included the "Desposyni" among the Jewish kindred of Jesus Christ.

The persecution was renewed 111-113, under Roman Emperor Trajan, and every Davidian was pursued in the Roman provinces.

Following the 2nd Jewish War, 132-135, Hadrian closed the Jerusalem Church, ousted the true Essene successors of Jesus out of Jerusalem and appoints his own anti-Essene leadership to office. Eusebius, in his "History of the Church", says that the "N’tzari Paqid" [their phrase for "pope"] [lit. "overseer of the Nazarenes"] and all the Jewish Christians were expelled from Jerusalem by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135, however, following Hadrian’s death in 138 the "Desposyni", with Roman names, returned to Jerusalem and re-opened the Jerusalem Church.

In 138, the members of the "desposyni" in Palestine, all took Roman names to hide their Jewish heritage, rebuilt the Jerusalem Church and revived "the papacy", under the desposynic prince Cassian[us], however, the tradition of "the papacy" had already been brought to Rome by other "desposynic" members, creating a schism in the papacy from 139-168 during the reigns of St. Hyginus, 9th Bishop of Rome 139-142, St. Pius, 10th Bishop 142-154, and St. Anicetus, 11th Bishop 154-168, all of whom were desposynic princes, who all held office as bishop of Rome the same-time they occupied "the papacy", representing a rival papacy which merged into the office of the Bishop of Rome during their reigns, resulting in a rivalry for primacy between the Jerusalem Church and the First Church of Rome. The Desposyni Bishops still held positions in the Church, however, the power of the Roman bishop steadily grew and began to eclipse the "Jesus Bloodline" Church, which thought they were the rightful heirs to the entire Christian Church owing to their blood descent from King David and Jesus' Holy Family.

The papal schism resulted in the re-invention of the "papacy" by the "gentile" Bishops of Rome, who usurped the papal-throne.

In 161 the 4th imperial persecution took place under Roman Emperor Marcuis Aurelius. In 193 the 5th imperial persecution took place under Roman Emperor Severus. In 235 the 6th imperial persecution took place under Roman Emperor Maximinus. In 249 the 7th imperial persecution took place under Roman Emperor Decius. In 253 the 8th imperial persecution took place under Roman Emperor Valerian. In 270 the 9th imperial persecution took place under Roman Emperor Aurelian.

The tenth and last imperial persecution of the Church, and the most severe took place in 303 under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The Jerusalem Church was closed, and the last "desposynic" pope or "n’tzari paqid" [Holy See] of the Jerusalem "Mother-Church", namely, Hermes, 294-303/4, was martyred during the terrible persecution. He was the last to sit upon Saint James' Throne.

The descendants of Jesus' Heirs posed an enormous threat to the Bishops of Rome because they were the dynastic leaders of the true Nazarene Church, as well as scions of Israel's Davidic Dynasty.

We know that as late as AD 350 the "Desposyni" are referred to in historical text as claiming to be descendants of the "brothers" of Jesus Christ, or Jesus' "cousins", and, were dispersed among the nations.

He reported to the Roman Emperor Constantine "The Great" that the "Desposyni" were a threat to his throne, for Constantine regarded himself as "world-king" sitting upon "Christ's Throne", and now there were rivals to that throne, the "Desposyni", who were its true heirs. Emperor Constantine responded by a systematic persecution of the "Desposyni".

The "Davidians" were a potential threat to Caesar in Rome as they also were not only the legitimate heirs to the throne of Israel, but also to the "world-throne" of "Jesus' Heirs", known as the "Desposynoi", who left a heritage to their family’s descendants, who were hunted by the Roman authorities for many years.

St. Martin exposes the Catholic Church in his writings; yet he still promotes its mythology and the myth of some continuity between Paulistic religion and Messianic Yahwism. The desposyni were soon to be dispossessed by Pope Silvester, who had his authority from Emperor Constantine.

The fate of Pope Sylvester is an utter condemnation of the religion of Jesus Christ that he claimed to represent. For, he hunted down and killed Jesus' relatives because they stood in condemnation of the system that purported to represent Him.

Why was it necessary to systematically murder the descendants of Jesus' (so called) "brothers" in attempt to destroy King David's Royal Line?

The 3rd-century writer, Julius Africanus, who lived in Egypt but had lived part of his life in Palestine, wrote in his "Letter to Aristides" that the "desposyni" ["the Master’s kin"], a term which he explains was used to designate Jesus’ relatives and their descendants, the "rex deus" families, who were widely dispersed by his time, and, were the most influential and respected leaders of the Christian movement; at first along with the original twelve disciples/apostles and later more exclusively as the original disciples/apostles died-off, and, surviving to his time, the "desposyni" were said to be the bishops of churches scattered all over the Roman empire. Julius Africanus goes on in the letter to confirm the "desposyni" as Davidides ["gens davidica"], saying that theirs was the sacred legacy of the old Jewish Davidic royal house perpetuated through the descendants of Jesus' relatives, that is, Christianity's "Holy Family".

The desposynic princes went underground suppressing their desposynic descent and adopting other identities, for to claim to be of King David's House was to invite their persecution and extinction, since the worldly authorities of the day would never abide even perceived competition from King David's House. As surely as they had crucified Jesus as Davidic "king of the Jews [Israel]" they would do the same to all His kinsmen given the slightest provocation. Many found refuge among various church congregations all over Europe. The rest were hunted down by Roman troops and slain as outlaws, or in some cases the desposyni suppressed their true identities and became either farmers in the countryside or merchants and financiers in the cities, and were the ancestors of some of Europe's great medieval families.

The Merovingians of France were a desposynic descent-line, now extinct in the male-line. Its ancestor, Merovee, a desposynic prince, used the Davidic/Jesus Dynasty link to justify why his family should rule the other great families of France. They ruled France from 448 to 751.

The Hapsburgs of Switzerland-Austria were very likely a desposynic descent-line. The family has three different origin stories which were invented at the time of their dissemination for political purpose. Home: Hawk's Castle, at the confluence of the Aare and Reuss rivers in the modern Swiss canton of Aargau.

In 1166 the chronicler Benjamin of Tudela reported that there were still estates held by contemporary royal Davidic heirs, some of whom were desposynic heirs, however, he does not give any names.

There was a tendency in the Roman Church in early times and throughout the medieval era of electing bishops who were blood relations to one another. Anastasius I (399-401) was the father of Innocent I (401-417); Silverius (536-537), was the son of Hormisdas (514-523); Constantine (708-709), was the brother of Sisinnius (708). Likewise, Stephen I (752-757), was succeeded by his brother Paul I (757-767), whose family, the Orsini, provided three more bishops: Celestine III (1191-8), Nicholas II (1277-80), and Benedict XII (1724-30). Several members of the Anici family became bishops of Rome, including Felix III (483-492), Agapietus I (535-6) and Gregory I (590-604). The Conti family of Tusculum established a papal dynasty and considered the papacy to be their own private domain. These families were among the "rex deus" families of the "desposyni".
