Marseilles, Gaul, 42 AD

 

“Two weeks after setting sail, our little party arrived in Gaul. What is now known as France,” began the Mother of all things.

She continued, “Mary, Philip, Bartholomew, and the others would begin to establish the churches in Gaul, all financed by Joseph. With the disciples being filled with the Holy Spirit, the word of God spread like wildfire. Demons were cast out, the sick were healed, the lame walked, faith was strengthened, and churches were built.

“Unlike what was happening elsewhere, the gospel of the kingdom was preached by men and women alike. Therefore week after week, the numbers grew. They may have been taught differently in Jerusalem, Antioch, Greece, and Rome, but here in Gaul, Mary was bound and determined to teach her doctrine and not the others. That the kingdom of heaven lay within us. And the only thing required was the power of the Holy Spirit come from the Father, or the Mother to achieve the intended results. Belief in the Source of all things to send the Holy Spirit, and then belief in one’s own self for their empowerment.

“Although many that arrived from the boat still practiced the Judaic rituals they grew up with, they didn’t ask the newly converted to do the same. Circumcision was a choice and not a requirement in Gaul.”

“After six months of bringing the Holy Spirit to Gaul, Philip, Bartholomew, Joseph, and his twelve servants ventured on to Britannia. Leaving the other twelve behind in Gaul. Before they left, Philip put Lazarus in charge as Bishop of Gaul. But the true leader of the church in Gaul was Mary Magdalene. It would be her doctrine which would be preached in Gaul, and later on France, for centuries to come. But Lazarus would be put on point, lest Mary Magdalene become a target for Rome.”

The Mother of all things was on a roll. She continued, “Using the same formula used in Gaul, the same success was achieved in Britannia. Many Celts embraced the way of this new faith and the power of the Holy Spirit.

“And then one night while in Britannia, Philip had a dream. He saw an image of the archangel Gabriel, who told him;

"Go to the city of Carthage, which is in Azotus, and drive out the ruler of Satan, for look, he rejoices there like a destroying wolf, which rejoices in the flock that has no shepherd; and after you have driven him out, preach there the Kingdom of Heaven."

“And Philip said to Gabriel: "I go, but let not the Father’s grace be far from me."

The Mother looked at Gabriel, and continued, “The following morning Philip went to Joseph saying,

“I received a message from the archangel to go to Carthage.”

“Bartholomew who was standing nearby, couldn’t help but overhear Philip. “Did I hear correctly that we are to go to Carthage?”

“That’s correct my brother, and Gabriel said that the Lord would put the correct words in our mouths.” Philip closed his eyes for a moment as in deep thought and continued, “It seems to me the Lord is in charge of this whole mission. We are merely his servants.”

“Amen,” agreed Bartholomew.

The Mother decided to put in her two cents on the Holy Grail, and the infamous bloodline that the Father has been speaking of. And what she thought of the whole thing.

She spoke, “The tree of the bloodline had thrived in Gaul. Becoming first the Fisher Kings, then the Merovingian Kings, followed by Charlemagne and the Carolingian Kings. From there it moved on to the Capetian dynasty, and then branching off like a tree into a thousand directions. The bloodline, otherwise known as the Holy Grail by those who would keep it a secret, had not only survived but thrived in the world. Yet, because of the influence of the church, the truth would remain hidden, and Rome’s doctrine would remain.

“Joseph, with the help of Philip and Bartholomew, would go on to establish the first Christian church in Britannia at Glastonbury as had been commanded, and became Britain’s first bishop.

“Lazarus would lead the church in Gaul as its first bishop. While Mary Magdalene secretly ran the church. Due to the safety of her family, she kept a low profile. Yet she would set the doctrine, and remain the driving force behind the church of Gaul. The power behind the throne, so to speak. With her brother Lazarus being the man on point.”

Maximinus and Sidonius would be entrusted to take care of the Holy family. They would begin a secret group that would keep track of and protect the Holy Bloodline. This secretive group would end up becoming the Order of Zion, which became the Knights Templar in the middle ages. Finally, the Freemasons after the Templars were outlawed by the King of France and the Pope in 1307.

“Philip and Bartholomew would convert Carthage, then appoint Ananias, a converted Jew, to be the Bishop to lead the church there. From Carthage, they strengthened the faithful at Alexandria, Egypt, and then on to Ethiopia to strengthen the faithful who were located there.

“After establishing what would end up being the Celtic church at Brittania, they would establish what would become the Coptic churches in North Africa. The Evangelist Mark, who would end up spending a good deal of time in North Africa, would get credit as the founder of the Coptic’s, but in reality it was the Apostles Philip and Bartholomew who were the first to establish Christianity on the African continent.

“From Ethiopia, after over two years’ time of being away, Philip and Bartholomew finally reunited with their families at Caesarea in 45 AD. Once he reunited with his wife Deborah, Philip promised he’d never leave her again, and he never did.

“In 50 AD, those two apostles moved on to Asia Minor and would build many churches there. They also built many churches in the region known as Galatia, until Philip would be crucified at Hierapolis in 80 AD. He would live 38 more years after smuggling the royal bloodline out of Israel. Not long after Philip’s death, Bartholomew would be martyred in Armenia. Since they had been children, those two beloved apostles would never leave each other’s sides, spending 75 years of their lives together.

“Those two would never get the credit they deserved from the early church who became too infatuated with Peter, James the Just, and Paul.”

“Numerous times others would question Philip or Bartholomew of the whereabouts of Mary Magdalene and her children. Not trusting the church, nor the authorities of Rome, neither would ever divulge this information. It would remain a secret from their fellow brothers.

“Upon Philip’s death, his daughters would go on to carry his message of the Gospel of the Kingdom. They would compile the Gospel of Philip and the Acts of Philip which would later on be rejected by the Church of Rome as heretical. The Gospel of Philip would be the only gospel which would refer Mary Magdalene as Jesus’ companion. It would remain the only gospel which told the truth of their relationship of husband and wife. When Philip’s daughters passed away, they were buried in Hierapolis with their beloved father.

“Through the works of Peter and Paul in the 1st century, and then the Emperor Constantine in the 4th century, the Roman church would become the prominent center of Christianity for centuries to come. The false doctrine of Jesus as a virgin would remain. Only those in Gaul, Galatia, Britannia, and North Africa would know the truth.

“Tales would be told of a Holy Grail by the Celts. Descendants of those converted by Philip and Bartholomew. Books would be written using terms like San Graal which stood for a Holy Grail or a cup of Christ which would lead many on a fruitless quest for its riches.

“The truth is that San Graal was a code for Sang Real which meant the royal bloodline. The true cup of Christ was Mary Magdalene and her three children, Joseph, Sarah, and Judah, not the cup used by Jesus at the last supper.

“This secret of the bloodline had always been known dating back to the first century by the earliest apostles. It was kept hidden. Because to reveal the truth would take the power away from a counterfeit doctrine, and give it to the true inheritors, the holy family.

“From the covenant between Abraham and the Father, to provide a Messiah for his people. Through the line of Judah, then King David, to Jesus of Nazareth and beyond, God never forgot the promise he had made to Abraham.

“You’re getting way ahead of yourself my dear,” said the Father with a laugh.

“I learn from the best,” returned the Mother with her own laugh.

“How about we take ourselves a break and return in three hours?” asked the Father.

“Sounds wonderful to me,” said the Mother. Who then instructed the angelic host to take a three hour intermission.
