New revised and expanded 2015 edition. *** Jesus was the great grandson of Queen Cleopatra *** Why was the birth of a poor 'carpenter' in the first century AD attended by the Persian Magi: the Persian king-makers? Why was Jesus later known as the 'King of the Jews'? There is a great deal of evidence within the New Testament that demonstrates that Jesus was actually of royal blood. But if this is so, then from which royal family was he descended? Using many strands of contemporary evidence, Ralph Ellis has pieced together a historical jigsaw puzzle demonstrating that the biblical Jesus was directly descended from Cleopatra VII, the most famous queen of Egypt. But this is not all, for, in piecing this story together, it would seem that Jesus also had an aristocratic Roman and royal Persian ancestry too; and it is the latter bloodline element that explains the appearance of Persian Magi at his birth. But why should the New Testament authors obscure the ancestry of such an illustrious prince? Well, the gospel writers were looking for an ideal family as their role model, but this particular royal family hid a dark, unmentionable secret. Join Ralph on the incredible untold story of a king and queen who were exiled to Judaea in AD 4 - just a couple of years before the Roman taxation of Judaea, when Jesus is said to have been born. Followed by: 'King Jesus'. V 5.8

Jesus was a king of Edessa 600 pages of gnosis. Colour Images. This is the book that the Catholic Church has been dreading for the last 1700 years. This is the book that will end Christianity as we know it. And this is not advertising hyperbole, this really is the end of the Christian fairytale. We now know who Jesus was. Visit his city, see the ruins of his citadel, gaze upon his statue, handle his coins. In reality, Jesus was a son of King Abgarus of Edessa, a king with a small realm, a large treasury, and even bigger ambitions. Thus Jesus' true history undermines much of the biblical fairystory that the gospel authors crafted, and so Christianity will never be the same again. The jacket image shows Jesus wearing his Crown of Thorns, the ceremonial crown of the Edessan monarchy. We suggest that readers start with 'Cleopatra to Christ' and then 'King Jesus'. The wait before arriving at the last episode in the trilogy will be worthwhile, for if a book could be valued on its 'eureka moments' then this final book would be priceless. The 'King Jesus Trilogy' Latest version v12.1 2024 Book three of the King Jesus Trilogy (in four parts). Followed by 'The Grail Cypher'. .

Book 1: Cleopatra to Christ -- Using many strands of contemporary evidence, Ralph Ellis has pieced together a historical jigsaw puzzle which demonstrates that the biblical Jesus was directly descended from Cleopatra VII, the most famous queen of Egypt. But this is not all, for in piecing this story together it would seem that Jesus also had an aristocratic Roman and royal Parthian ancestry too; and it is the latter bloodline element that explains the appearance of Persian Magi at his birth. Book 2: Scota, Egyptian Queen of the Scots -- The legends of Ireland and Scotland tell a fantastic tale of an Egyptian queen and her Greek husband, who were exiled from Egypt at some point during the second millennium BC. These early Celtic myths were finally set down in a 14th century book called 'Scotichronicon', but is it based more upon fact or fiction? Historians have taken the story to be complete fiction; but there are many elements that demonstrate that the authors knew a great deal about the ancient history and language of Egypt. Ralph Ellis has taken a lateral look at this mythology, and found many links and associations that lead to one inescapable conclusion -- that the extraordinary tale of Queen Scota and King Gaythelos is probably true.

Seven incarnations of the Godhead make up an incarnational round that began in the 1st century BC. We are today at the seventh round personality. Cleopatra of Alexandria, the Last Egyptian pharaoh, was the first personality of the seven in this incarnational age. The historical written record of this early time is incomplete and unreliable. Historians with great effort effect to sort what is fact from myth, but the truth may be lost and long forgotten. A second source of knowledge can be tapped from the inner world, and missing key pieces of the puzzle accessed. "The Incarnation" effects to do this, with astonishing result. Spanning a timeline from the 1st century BC to 625 AD and beyond, in the genre of a novel based on a true story, the truth of the Creator Godhead is told. The first century Western canon begins with a budding new empire, Rome, arising to be the dominant civilization in a world of war and chaos. The Jewish holy city of Jerusalem has been conquered and is under Rome's control. The Godhead's first personality, Cleopatra, tells her story and the story of Jesus, Apostle Paul, and of a struggle that culminates with the new Emperor Constantine and a new Roman era of Christianity, in her own words. It is quite different from the myths of recorded history, and sets the stage for a surprising and rewarding return of the Godhead's seventh round personality. The Jane Roberts Seth Material written in the last quarter of the twentieth century is of an internal source and corrects the record of the Crucifixion, a true event embedded in myth. Two crucifixions are in play, a physical one in 33 AD and a second "psychic" crucifixion happening nearly 300 years later. It is the later event that etches the name Jesus and salvation message deeply in the minds of the people of the West. Internally tapping Seth and this author's incarnational inner sources, a new and different story of Jesus emerges from a lost history, far grander and philosophically deep. The Apostle Paul plays the major role of documenting the events unfolding after the AD 33 Crucifixion, the New Testament Bible containing Paul's 14 letters making up more than half of the canon's 27 books. Historians doubt authenticity of many of these books, yet Paul's letters, particular 6 which nearly all historians agree are legitimately penned by Paul. The 14 letters, all authenticated as genuine by this author's inner sources, become this novel's primary focus, historically sandwiched between the first crucifixion and second psychic crucifixion events, and proving through documentation of the actual New Testament letters of Paul this far greater developed Jesus story. For demonstrating legitimacy and accuracy, I have, through inner sources, provided general time, place, and purpose, for each of Paul's letters and for all of the 27 books making up the NT Bible. Paul's traveling companion Luke recorded Paul's journey in the NT book "Acts of the Apostles", and I reference the numbered passages in the novel's stories of Paul's journeys. Italics are used wherever paragraphs and sentences are quoted from actual Biblical dialog, as are Paul's letters italicized and indented. The second crucifixion, the key but little known event in the whole Jesus narrative, happens early in the fourth century AD and is in the Catholic Church record of their saints. Here, fact is separated from myth, the full astonishing event told by the central actor in the narrative, herself. The full story of Jesus of Nazareth and the evolution of the Christian Church will be unfolding on the scene of the modern-day world as the seventh incarnation of the Godhead arrives and brings mankind into the fold of the higher teachings and a new world relationship of peace and prosperity right here in front of us all.

Doug Brown PhD (physics) has researched historical and literary sources in an attempt to identify the historical Jesus. The Caesarion-Jesus identification is pursued by invoking the Clemency policy of Octavian for survival of Cleopatra's family. A Hegelian Dialectic of Christology provides a dating procedure for separating the earliest of the Nag Hammadi tractates as an original Jesus family corpus of writings. This identifies the synoptic gospels (Mark, Matthew and Luke) as misappropriating an originally Roman-Greek royal Egyptian bastard (Gentile) Jesus as instead not only Jewish but also as the Jewish Christ, contrary to how he was known by his family. Jesus was instead originally introduced to the world via the strictly first century Gospel of Thomas written by Alexander Helios Antonius, the twin younger step brother of Caesarion. The identification of Paul of Tarsus as a fictional character based on the Autobiography of Josephus is set within the Christology Dialectic dating the Pauline corpus as a post Markan antithesis after 100CE, a later period than conventionally understood. The resulting identification of a Gentile Jesus Corpus of writings left behind by the family of Jesus then suggests a possible alternative understanding of the Marcion corpus different from conventionally understood; finally, a post-170CE Era of Christian Fiction introduces an Apostolic Corpus including the Gospel of John inventing new ecclesiastical authorities intended to replace the Jesus family in a new unrelated proto-orthodox church. Lastly, DNA testing in conjunction with remains of Arsinoe, the half-sister of Cleopatra, is suggested as a means of attempting to verify the Gentile Jesus family model in the event of discovery of human remains.

“Both the knowledge of a scholar and the imagination of a poet are brought to bear upon Jesus as child, boy, and man. . . . A bold speculative adventure” (Harold Brighouse, Manchester Guardian). In Robert Graves’s unique retelling, Jesus is very much a mortal and the grandson of King Herod the Great. When his father runs afoul of the king’s temper and is executed, Jesus is raised in the house of Joseph the Carpenter. The kingdom he is heir to, in this version of the story, is very much a terrestrial one: the Kingdom of Judah. Graves tells of Jesus’s rise as a philosopher, scriptural scholar, and charismatic speaker in sharp detail, as well as his arrest and downfall as a victim of pitiless Roman politics. Bringing together his unparalleled narrative skill and in-depth expertise in historical scholarship, renowned classicist and historical novelist Robert Graves brings the story of Jesus Christ to life in a strikingly unorthodox way, making this one of the most hotly contested novels Graves ever wrote—and possibly one of the most controversial ever written. It provides a fascinating new twist to a well-known story, one that fans of this historical period are sure to love. “This is not reading for the easily shocked; it definitely presents Jesus as a sage and a [poet], if not divine. It moves, as does all Mr. Graves’ writing, at a brilliant fast pace, and with a tremendous style.” —Kirkus Reviews

The Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer brings to life the most intriguing woman in the history of the world: Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. Her palace shimmered with onyx, garnets, and gold, but was richer still in political and sexual intrigue. Above all else, Cleopatra was a shrewd strategist and an ingenious negotiator. Though her life spanned fewer than forty years, it reshaped the contours of the ancient world. She was married twice, each time to a brother. She waged a brutal civil war against the first when both were teenagers. She poisoned the second. Ultimately she dispensed with an ambitious sister as well; incest and assassination were family specialties. Cleopatra appears to have had sex with only two men. They happen, however, to have been Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, among the most prominent Romans of the day. Both were married to other women. Cleopatra had a child with Caesar and -- after his murder -- three more with his protégé. Already she was the wealthiest ruler in the Mediterranean; the relationship with Antony confirmed her status as the most influential woman of the age. The two would together attempt to forge a new empire, in an alliance that spelled their ends. Cleopatra has lodged herself in our imaginations ever since. Famous long before she was notorious, Cleopatra has gone down in history for all the wrong reasons. Shakespeare and Shaw put words in her mouth. Michelangelo, Tiepolo, and Elizabeth Taylor put a face to her name. Along the way, Cleopatra's supple personality and the drama of her circumstances have been lost. In a masterly return to the classical sources, Stacy Schiff here boldly separates fact from fiction to rescue the magnetic queen whose death ushered in a new world order. Rich in detail, epic in scope, Schiff 's is a luminous, deeply original reconstruction of a dazzling life.
