The envoy was summoned |
Amsterdam, 2024-04-30
Philological study "De eerste editie van Paulus" ("The first edition of Paul", Charles Vergeer)
Envoy: the apostle Paul was an envoy of the leaders of the Orthodox Jews, the high priests Simeon 'Cephas' ('Peter', 27-44) and Jacob 'Oblias' (44-66), as the elders/presbyters/bishops of the 'Christian' believers (Greeks and Jews) in Ephesus half a century later also consider themselves envoys of faith
Letters: to the ('Christian'-)Orthodox Jews in Corinth, written from the capital of the province of Asia, Ephesus, where 200,000 people lived at the time, and where the Jews and 'Christians' had not been chased away as happened in the other cities of the Roman Empire; therefore Ephesus became the centre of Christian tradition, where the Gospels of Luke and John, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Apostolikon (the 'Missionary Sermons', later incorrectly referred to as the Pauline Epistles) originated
Soldiers: 2 Corinthians 12:7 "And lest I should boast of special revelations, I had to bear a palisade upon my weak flesh, a satanic angel to beat me down"

The reinterpreation of Paul
Zealots: [1] followers of the Way: Nazarenes, Zealots, dagger-men (sicarii), and later: jihadists, [2] the Orthodox Jews who do not recognise the emperor
John 14:6: "Jesus said to him [Thomas], I am the Way and the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."
According to legend, the Apostle Paul was beheaded in the swampy area near de Sage Springs (Aquae Salviae) outside the southern city wall of Rome
Massacred everywhere: throughout the Roman Empire, by the army, which makes no distinction between the Orthodox Jews (like Paul) and the 'anointers' (the 'Christians', as the Jews who believe that the Liberator ['Jesus'] was the Messiah, are mockingly called - a name they adopt as reappropriation)
The Christians do not focus on God's rule, but on redemption through the murdered Liberator ('Jesus') the Messiah/Christ/Anointed, which is a blasphemy for Jews like Paul

Command for a better world, under God's rule (put into Jesus' mouth, referring to Genesis 9:1)
The ongoing Jewish uprisings against Roman authority lead to a large-scale extermination of pockets of resistance, in order to maintain the Pax Romana. In this difficult situation, the leaders of the 'Christian'-Jewish community in Ephesus (south of Izmir) compiled a collection of texts of faith in the year 95 under the heading 'Letters of Paul', using fragments from some letters written by Paul in the years 52-54, from Ephesus to the 'Christian'-Jewish community in Corinth
Few of them: of the Old Covenant
Few of us: of the New Covenant

There is little time, I still want |
Amsterdam, 2024-04-12
There is little time: [A] for the eight billion people to make the earth livable, [B] when you are old, [C] according to Paul's conviction that the Messiah/Christ/ Anointed will soon return
What happened to me: Chronological: 1 Corinthians 15:31, 2 Corinthians 1:8, Acts 18:12, 17:14, 17:5, 2 Corinthians 7:5, Acts 16:19,22-24
The Fire: Exodus 3:4, 13:21, 14:24, Acts 9:3-4, Galatians 1:15-16, 2:2, 1 Corinthians 15:8
Through the Sea: escape through the Red Sea led by Moses (Exodus 14:21-22)
Through the river: entry into the Promised Land led by Joshua (Joshua 3:14-17)
Drowning people: Paul on his journey as a prisoner from Jerusalem to Rome (Acts 27:41-44)
The scheme of Acts is that the centre of faith moves from Jerusalem to Rome

It is finished |

John 19:30 "It is finished"
Mark 15:46 Joseph places the corpse of his son, the Liberator ('Jesus'), in the memorial room (the memoria) of the family tomb, which is the hall where the relatives gather to commemorate the entombed dead
Mark 16:1-8 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the wife and mother of the Liberator ('Jesus'), went into the memorial room to embalm the body. The stone in front of the entrance appears to have been rolled away. They experience God's presence and flee in fear.
Historical romance novel "Kallirhoë" (Chariton, 2nd century): 3.3.1 when he arrived, he found that the sepulchre's sealing stones were moving, clearing the entrance

[A] The Liberator ('Jesus') is imprisoned in the house of Joseph Caiaphas, the high priest appointed by the Romans, a collaborator in the eyes of the Orthodox Jews
[B] The later, 'Christian', interpretation explains the incognito of Simeon, the 'Kefas' ('Rock'/'Petrus') as a denial, to blacken the group of followers of the Liberator ('Jesus') in Jerusalem (and to exonerate the Romans of the execution)

Mark 14:47 Knowing that the Messiah must be intact as God's representative, an accomplice of the high priests and Pharisees mutilates the Liberator ('Jesus', the anointed ('Messiah') servant of the Lord, John 18:10), and the high priest Joseph Caiaphas, appointed by the Romans, tears the seamless robe that the Liberator ('Jesus') wears (Mark 14:63)
Four brothers: Jacob, Joses (little Joseph), Simeon and Judah (Mark 6:3)

Simeon, the 'Kephas' ('Rock'/'Peter', the high priest) of the rebellious Orthodox Jews, takes part in the attack on the house of the Roman-appointed high priest Joseph Caiaphas, where the Liberator ('Jesus') is being held captive; so he ventures into the lion's den
The word 'alektor' should not be understood as 'the cock', but as 'eklektos': 'the chosen one' (the high priest)

Juda(s) and the insurgents who, pursued by the Roman cavalry, tried to flee through the Kidron valley, fell near the Ein Rogel spring in narrowing of the valley, on the slope that has since been called Akeldáma (Field of Blood) (Acts 1:18-19 "Judas [..] fell headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it is known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood"; also Matthew 27:9)

On the eve of the battle |
Amsterdam, 2024-04-16
Sunday evening, April 2nd, 30 CE in Bethany, just outside Jerusalem: celebration of the coronation of the Liberator ('Jesus'), as the Anointed king ('Christ')
At hand: Mark 1:15, 14:41-42 "The hour is come; the delivery of the city is at hand!"
Pockets of resistance and mass graves: the Roman Shoah (total destruction) of 2000 years ago against the rebellious Jews
There were two parties of losers: the Jews who concluded from the failure of the rebellion that the Liberator ('Jesus') was apparently not the Messiah (Anointed/Christ), and the Jews who insisted that he was, but that the liberation was spiritual, not worldly
In the fifth century CE, the first group added a curse against the 'Christian' Jews as the 19th prayer to the Amidah (the Shemoneh Esrah, Eighteen Prayer), number 12, named Birkat haMinim (On the heretics)

After the entry on Monday April 3rd, 30 CE, the Liberator ('Jesus') explores the centre of Jerusalem with the troops led by Judas (Mark 11:11)
Subsequently, they occupy the temple (expulsion of the tax collectors); Judas delivers the centre of the city to the new king
Tuesday April 4th, 30 CE: Roman troops from Caesarea arrive and retake the temple square
(Maundy) Thursday: second attack, which completely fails

The movement of Jewish rebels at the end of the 20s of the CE is called the Way (to the establishment of God's royal rule, as under Joshua)
Mark 1:2 was inserted later and refers to Exodus 23:20 and Malachi 3:1, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy Way before thee"
Mark 1:3 refers to Isaiah 40:3, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the Way of the Lord, make his paths straight"
Acts 24:22 "And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that Way, he deferred them"
