The Lost Years of Jesus Revealed at Last!

There are all sorts of legends about Jesus between the years of 12 and 30 traveling to Egypt, India, and even the British Isles. However, a knowledge of the history and the geography of his hometown of Nazareth, and recent archaeological excavations at Sepphoris, just 4 miles to the north, which was the urban capital of Herod Antipas, which was being rebuilt as Jesus was growing up , has opened a new possibility. In this narration I explore this questions and what it might have meant to refer to Jesus as a "carpenter,,"--which turns out to be a mistranslation of the Greek word in Mark 6:3 where we find that description.

[@williamburych2136]

The Gospel of Luke (Chapter 2) does have a report of the 12-year old Jesus having been found teaching in the Temple, His parents having left Jerusalem after the feast of Passover, not realizing that He was not with them.

[@clarkelaidlaw1678]

The bible is ridiculous. it reads like the ravings of a madman.full of ridiculous claims and contradictions and falsehood.one thing that it does make clear is that there was a lack of institutions for epileptics and schizophrenics in Palestine at that time.there have been many thousands of gods proposed by humans over time in hundreds of different languages and in hundreds of different countries.there is not and never has been the slightest evidence that any of them are real.why on earth would you or anyone accept as fact the anonymous stories told by fearful uneducated superstitious misogynistic bronze age desert tribesmen in the most backward part of the middle east?Men who thought that the earth was flat and that diseases came from curses.They thought that someone threw lightning bolts from the heavens.Men who forced their wives to sleep outside in a shed with the goats during their menstrual cycle .it is high time we humans grow up and out of this bronze age nonsense.

I don't believe the question should be when did He see his life as King of Israel as a threat to Rome but rather as a spiritual teacher who attempted to enlighten the population with acknowledging the power within themselves as part of God. This became a threat to the Jewish leadership and they used the Romans with the pretense that Jesus was a threat to them also. When Pilate could not find a reason to kill Jesus, he bowed to political pressure and had Him killed anyway.

[@robinhoodstfrancis]

Well said. As a spiritual teacher, who taught the need for spiritual practice with a related Lord´s Prayer, and profound body of teachings, not Egyptian magic, but Buddhist wisdom and related miraculous powers are most coherent. The Essenes perhaps had some relevance, I recall from some issues. Was Jesus merely limited to a socioeconomic analysis of his parents? The textual reductionism that they "had no resources" sounds unlikely. Mary´s contact with her cousin Elizabeth, mother (miraculously) of John the B, son of Zechariah a priest. Tabor´s a bit too materialistic.

It went on the treble taxation of the time. Temple tax, Herod's tax and the new-ish Roman tax, I imagine. The temple took tithes from what I remember. Jesus's family lived in Galilee which was ruled by Herod, and the Romans had relatively recently occupied Israel and Syria, using them as a buffet against the Parthians. So far as I remember.

, in place of the Messianic Judaism that Yeshua expected all of his future worldwide followers to practice, the Romans created Christianity, a pagan religion. The papal Empire was, and is still alive in the Roman Catholic Church which is ruled by the office of the popes, the old religion of Babel.’ “Who opposeth and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim, or that is worshipped so that he as Elohim sitteth in the temple of Elohim, showing himself that he is Elohim…” This prediction, which is also for the leader of the Renegades who shall be on Earth, makes allusion to the Church that was created by the Romans, and is illustrated till this day by the Popes.’ ‘At that time there was only one power that ever set itself up as Elohim on Earth after the days of Yeshua’s Apostles, and that power was the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church, beginning with Constantine. He took on himself the title of Pope and changed the real Roman Empire. Then he enforced Christianity upon the Roman people, making it as we have already said the Roman State Religion.’ ‘And Constantine forced on the Romans all the days of Sun-worship: Sunday, Easter, Christmas… etc. Then he forced everything that was Jewish or had anything to do with Judaism out of the teachings of Yeshua’s Apostles. This law came from Constantine in 235 A.D. which stipulated: “Magistrates, city people and artisans are to rest on the Sun Day”. This was the first ever Sunday law.’ ‘A fanatical supporter of Constantine, Eusebius who had been nominated ‘Bishop of Caesarea’ wrote: ‘All things whatsoever that it was the duty to do on the Sabbath (the 7th day), these we have transferred to the Lord’s Day, Sunday.’ ‘At the Council of Laodicea in 364 A.D. Canon 29 was made by the Church of Rome, which stated: “Christians shall not judaize and be idle on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath), but shall work on that day.” So from then on, everything that was Jewish or connected in worship with Judaism, (Yeshua’s Religion), was abolished.’ ‘The Roman Catholic Church was very anti-Semitic, right from Constantine himself; because, for his plans to succeed, he wanted to do away with Yeshua’s religion. This he openly said, when he proclaimed that the Christians ‘shall not judaize’. So when Constantine became Christian Pope, he began to persecute the Jews. Christians were forbidden to associate with them. He banished the Rabbis in 337 A.D. and made it a crime for a Jew to marry a Christian woman. At the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. the question of Easter was discussed, and Passover was simply changed to Easter. Constantine said:’ “And first of all, it appeared an unworthy thing, that in the celebration of this holy feast “we should follow the practices of the Jews”, who have impiously defiled their hands with enormous sin, and are therefore deservedly afflicted with blindness of soul… Let us have nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crow, for we have received from our savior a different way… Beloved brethren, let us with one consent adopt this course, -and withdraw ourselves from all participation in their baseness-… It was needful that this matter should be rectified, so that we might have nothing in common with that nation of parricides, who slew their savior… That all should unite in desiring that which sound reason appears to demand, and in avoiding all participation “in the perjured conduct of the Jews”. In fine that I may express in a few words as possible it has been determined by the common judgments of all that the most holy feast of Easter should be kept on one and the same day.” ‘Yeshua the Jewish Rabbi was not born of a virgin birth, unlike Jesus the Christian Christ. But do the Christians know that Crucifixion was not an event unique to ‘Jesus’? Many others died exactly the same way in other mythologies: ‘Mithras was crucified in Persia, Tammuz in Babylon, Thules and Orontes in Egypt, Odin in Scandinavia, and Hesus in Britain’s druidic tradition. All these crucifixions happened thousands and hundreds of years before Christianity surfaced.’ ‘There were also many ‘Virgin Births’ and many’ Immaculate Conceptions’ in other pagan religions. Does humanity know that the ‘Christian Mary’ was not the only ‘virgin’ that had an ‘immaculate conception’? ‘In Mexico, Quetzalcoatl the Sun god’s mother, ‘conceived him as a virgin; the ‘strictly celibate widow’ Semiramis conceived Tammuz after Nimrod’s death ‘without’ a male partner; Hercules, the Only-Begotten Son of Zeus, (father of Greek gods) was born in a ‘virgin birth’ to Alcmene; In Egypt the goddess Isis ‘conceived Horus as a virgin’. ‘Ancient Egyptian inscriptions can still be found which say: “Immaculate is our Lady Isis”. The same title, as the whole world knows, is now being given ‘Mary, the mother of the Roman Catholic and Christians’ Jesus.’ ‘Did you know that ‘Mary’ who is now being worshipped as a goddess, is a variety of the same entity in ancient mothers and goddess stories and traditions. For example, Maia was the mother of Buddha. Moya was the mother of Agni. Myrrha was the mother of Bacchus. Mariana was the mother of Krishna. Myrrha was the mother of Adonis … etc.’ ‘Hercules had abolished sacrifice in his time, and was called ‘the good Shepherd and the Prince of Peace’. He descended in the realms of Pluto then later ascended to his father Zeus… So normally, Christianity abolished Temple sacrifice in the name of their ‘Jesus’ who, it was also decided by the Romans, will be known in the future to have ascended to his father ‘God’, naturally. ‘In ancient Persia, Sun worship was much spread, and all worship took place on Sundays. We also have Zarathustra. He was born on the 25th of December, in a manger in a cave, and was ‘world savior’, from the Sun, many centuries before the Christian Christ.’ ‘So, after Christianity took over the religion of the Messianic believers (as Yeshua’s followers were also known) - which was a Jewish Religion, and which combined the belief in, and the practice of Yeshua’s teachings as the bringer of the Messiah Spirit through the Mysteries, with the old Pharisaic Orthodox ones, - Constantine declared that he intended to wipe out everything Jewish, and everything Yeshua himself stood for.’ ‘That way, Christianity would have nothing in common with the nation of the Jews; or in other words ‘with the true religion of YHWH, which was also the true religion of Yeshua himself. And they used the Name of Yeshua, a Jewish prophet Messiah, to reach their aims, saying at the same time: “Let us have nothing with the detestable Jewish crowd”. ‘So Easter was fixed on the Sunday following the Jewish Passover contrary to Yeshua’s instructions. They changed the Sabbath to Sunday, and Passover to Easter, a festival that was kept by the pagans in the spring in honor of Baal, and not only that, polytheism was definitely declared. The Popes became known as the Holy See, god on Earth, and they are still known as, and called ‘Holiness’ or ‘Holy Father’ even now”. ‘But that was nothing new. They simply kept and perpetuated the tradition of all Roman Emperors who were declared gods and divine beings. The Pope of today is still set as a deity on Earth, and considers himself that! During that Council of Nicaea where Constantine made the speech that was partly repeated here, it was also decided that their ‘Jesus’ could not remain just a man; he had to be made a god.’ ‘Surely the status of Yeshua as a simple Jewish Rabbi and Prophet could not fit, if his story had to be integrated into the old polytheist doctrine of Trinity. So this had to be changed. The bishops who sat in the panel at the Council voted for the Hellenized Jesus as the third person of their ‘Holy Trinity of God’ in the newly renamed old Babylonian religion, by the raising of hands. So they voted. Thus the Jewish Rabbi and Prophet Yeshua-Bar-Joseph became ‘Jesus’. He was elected to become a god to be worshipped, by the raising of hands, at a meeting staged by a group of Sun worshippers.’ ‘After this meeting, Constantine issued the strict edict that said: “Anyone, Christian or not who continued to believe or claim that ‘Jesus’ was a simple man, or who accepted or followed doctrines that did not conform to the new Council of Nicaea decisions, was to be considered a heretic and to be exiled from the Empire or put to death. Those who were true followers of Yeshua’s original doctrine were persecuted, stoned, arrested, and killed; and all their manuscripts were seized and destroyed.” ‘Now we used the writings and events that took place on Earth to present today’s message because it was necessary. However, criticizing any existing religious denomination was not our aim here. We want Yeshua’s religion to be revived and practiced as he intended it to be.

What Happened During Jesus' 'Lost Years' (Luke 2:42; 3:23)? At the time Herod ordered all the young boys in Bethlehem to be slain, Joseph took Mary and Jesus and fled into Egypt. When the danger was past, they returned to their own country and settled in a town in Galilee: "And he [Joseph and his family] came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, 'He shall be called a Nazarene' [one who comes from Nazareth]" (Matthew 2:23). From Nazareth, they would all travel to Jerusalem each year for the Passover. On one of those occasions, when He was 12, Jesus stayed behind in the Temple. Afterward, "He went down with them [His family] and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them" (Luke 2:51). So, Jesus evidently spent most of those years in Nazareth. Otherwise, people would not have known Him as a Nazarene. After He was 30, Jesus preached in the synagogue in His home town: "So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up" (Luke 4:16). Notice the reaction of the townspeople: "So all . . . marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, 'Is this not Joseph's son?" (verse 22). The people knew Him! This is confirmed when, on a similar occasion, in astonishment they said, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us?'" (Matthew 13:54-56). The people knew His whole family, as this was Jesus' "own country" (verse 54; Luke 4:24). Obviously, Jesus spent most of those 18 years between ages 12 and 30 in Nazareth where He was trained and where He studied. Whether or not He traveled to any foreign nation is not revealed in Scripture.

I have heard that many rabbis of the first and second centuries would have typically had a paid job in addition to teaching because they were not allowed to charge a fee for teaching and one of the most common side professions was tekton. For example, Hillel the Elder was a tekton (and sometimes a woodcutter) as his side profession because that profession made it possible to have time left for teaching.

As Bethlehem of Galilee (imo, the actual birthplace of Jesus) exists about 10km northwest of Nazareth, placing it within the same 5km from Sepphoris, I imagine Jesus watching Joseph, as a stone mason (BRAVO!), walking away to work towards Sepphoris.

The agricultural in the area was changing, what use to be fields of mustard plants was becoming fields of grain. The mustard plant gave us cabbage and cauliflower! The grain was hard to grow, destroyed the environment, and did not have a fraction of the nutrition. It made a population who had never been exposed to it before very sick and it was becoming the cheapest, if not only way to keep from starving. I can only imagine how easy it was to cure many, many people by simply removing the grain from their diet.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ!!! Early in my quest of faith I was intrigued by the "Lost Years". Almost obsessed. After all, where was our Savior between the ages of 12 and 30? The Gospels don't mention anything about it. So I stumbled across a book of a Buddhist monk in Tibet and his teacher mentioned Jesus had visited the Temple in Lhasa and there was a written record of his time there. Then there was the Nicolas Notovitch book which mentioned the same. But neither source could produce any proof. Let's call them romantic legends because they offered answers to the mystery but also offered more questions than answers. Then I read the Aquarian Gospel, another interesting legend supposedly drawn from the Akashic records not only spoke of Jesus's time in Tibet, but also India and Egypt. An amazing tale of Jesus's journeys and how he influenced and learned from other world religions preparing Him for his ministry back in Israel. It's an excellent read providing it not be taken as fact, only a possibility of what might have taken place.

Having been raised in the Episcopal church, then aligning with the Baptists in my early 20s, the only Jesus I knew was the one depicted in the canonical gospels. Frankly, I was conflicted because I was told to love this Jesus but I could never relate to the person revealed in MML&J. Then in the mid 90s I found the Aquarian Gospel which opened up a whole new Jesus to me. One I could not only relate to, but one I would very much like to hang out with. The AG is still one of my favorite books to just pick up and open at random feel the energy of the Jesus depicted there.

Huh? what was that about Mathew? I'm sure it was unintended but you kind of called him a liar and yet we're supposed to easily believe these other stories of his life? Hmm. Commentary, Clinton Arnold, Ed., Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2002, p. 19). "The killing of a few children in an obscure Judean community would scarcely have attracted much attention in the notably bloody world of that day. This vile deed attributed to Herod is perfectly consistent with what is known about the character of the beast.He was so paranoid of his regal authority that he did not hesitate to murder numerous members of his own immediate and extended family.His favorite wife, Mariamne, was publicly executed, as was her mother, Alexandra.Earlier Herod had put to death Hyrcanus, Mariamne’s grandfather (who, incidentally, once had saved the king’s life).He also executed several of his sons, e.g., Alexander, Aristobulus, and Antipater.One ancient writer suggested that Augustus Caesar once quipped that it would be better to be Herod’s pig than his son! (Macrobius, Saturnalia 2.f.11).For a general survey of Herod’s activities, see Josephus, Antiquities, Books 14-17. If that ruler committed such atrocities as those just sketched, is there any doubt that he would be capable of the bloody spectacle depicted in Matthew’s Gospel? During the severe illness that previewed his imminent death, the Herodian monster had some of the chief men of the Jewish nation imprisoned at Jericho.He then issued a dispatch to some of his close kinsmen that, upon his death, these Jews should be put to death.The reason he ascribed to the plan was his knowledge of the fact that when he died, he would not be mourned as befitted a king.Especially was he aware that the Jews would rejoice at his passing.Accordingly, after he had breathed his final breath, these Hebrews were to be killed, that weeping might be heard throughout the land, suitable for a funeral such as his! (Antiquities 17.6.2).(Fortunately, his vile command was ignored.) It is clear, therefore, that no reasonable objection can be made to the record of Herod’s brutal conduct, as portrayed in Matthew’s Gospel account."
