Surrounding the throne were 24 other thrones, and seated on them were 24 Elders. They were dressed in white and had crowns of gold on their heads.
The identity of these Elders is debatable, with certain secret societies claiming not their descendants derived from these Elders who escaped into Europe after the Second Temple was sacked by Rome. Before leaving their homeland, these Elders had hidden their Temple treasures and priceless artifacts, as seen in Kabbalistic scrolls, in strategic regions of the Holy Land so that the Roman invaders could not plunder them as spoils of war.
The Jewish Elders then immigrated North, where many of them allegedly married into the European continent's noble families, becoming royalty. Offspring of these Elders would become the Patriarchs of a group of European families known as the Rex Deus, or Star Families. Rex Deus is a Latin term that translates into "God Kings," which speaks to their belief in bloodlines that descend from Mary Magdalene and, before that, from the Fallen Angels or antediluvian sons of God.
The famous Essenes are the Gnostic ancestors of the Templar's Priory of Sion and Rex Deus. Why would this prominent Jewish sect inexplicably celebrate being the spurious sons of Zadok or Melchizedek? Why did this Zadokite priesthood call themselves the "Sons of Light," just as the Tuatha Dé Danann were known as the "Lords of Light," and just as the Gnostics and Freemasons are the "Children of Light"?
Zadokite is a Hebrew-Aramaic title for the descendants of the royal priestly lineage, known vicariously as Rex Deus. The title is understood as the earliest known communities where the first cells of organized monasticism in the West. They unaccountably considered themselves to be an Enochian Judaism sect, descending from Enoch, the evil son of Cain. They unaccountably cherished the serpent dragon as an ancient symbol of the Essenes, their punctate heritage, the infamous White Snake Brotherhood of Egypt.
Essene further held the Book of Jubilees and anything to do with Enoch in the highest regard. They based their calendar on the solar year under the guidance of the ancient Enochian calendar, which ran contrary to the Jewish lunar calendar. It was their particular practice to pray in the morning by turning themselves toward the sun, in defined contrast and opposition to the other Israelite sects who prayed in the direction of the Temple. The Essenes disobediently worshiped in the First and Second Temples by kneeling in white robes towards the sun at dawn, worshiping to Moos and Ishtar from the Chaldean Pantheon. This is the rebellious practice that outraged Ezekiel.
During the age of the First Temple, Essenes were a very old, distinct, separate, and rebellious Sabian sect, set shamelessly against the famous Sadducees and Pharisees recorded in the New Testament, which Messiah spoke to and against. The Essenes, as witnessed by Ezekiel, were unquestionably in existence and thriving as a rival counter-sun cult to Zionism circa 700 BCE. Only after the successful Maccabean Rebellion against the Greek Empire were the Essenes then expelled from the Temple by the Hasmonean dynasty.
The Essenes were a vigorous sun cult that, according to Knight and Lomas, were an alliance of Enochian and Zadokite priests descending from the Melchizedek Cult of Cain. Essenes became known to history and legend as the Zadokites. Zedek is the encoded sun god component of Melchizedek. The princes of Jerusalem who escaped to Europe after 70 CE formed the families that eventually founded the Knights of Templar. It seems it was the "Sons of Light" and the so-called righteous who really secretly served the pagan bull god Molech. This mystical Enochian, Canaanite, Melchizedek cult burrowed deep into Judaism, regaining complete control of the Second Temple just before its destruction.
This then lends corroborating credence to the statements recorded in the Dead Sea Copper Scrolls that more secret documents were buried under the Jerusalem Temple and were some of the mysterious documents, treasures, and knowledge carried off to Scotland by the descendants of the Zadokites, the White Princes of Jerusalem, the Knights of Templar. The Zadokite priesthood allegedly was all wiped out in 72 CE during the Roman-Jewish Wars. Loomis and Knight noted that several Zadokite priests escaped to the south of France, where they formed the leading families of Europe, protecting their genealogies. They were renowned as the old aristocracy who longed for the return to the days of greatness of Israel, where the Royal House of David reigned.
Most records and genealogies of the Davidic legacy of Jesus's family were lost in the Roman Holocaust, but if you select relevant documents, supposedly, they survive and were transported with the refugee guardians of the Messianic heirs. Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea, knew the Messianic heirs as the Desposyni, an exclusive order reserved for only the immediate family and heirs of the dynastic royal family of Jesus. Desposyni translates as "belongs to" or "heirs of the Lord." Julius Africanus (c. 160-240 CE) confirmed a few Desposyni had kept secret and private records and genealogies, which include their own recollections, all to preserve the aristocratic bloodline of the Essenes, which of course included Jesus's family.
The Desposyni, after the death of James (61-62 CE), Simeon son of Clopas and cousin to Jesus, became the next epis or bishop of Jerusalem. And according to Eusebius, the early Jerusalem Church continued to exercise leadership, led by Jesus's family, until the genocide brought on by Emperor Trajan during the latter years of his reign (98-117 CE). The Roman Empire was troubled by growing numbers of Christians and was confounded about what to do about the problem. Consul Pliny of Asia Minor was so worried he wrote Trajan asking to confirm instructions to hunt them down.
Even before Pauline Christianity gained control over the Roman Empire through Constantine, the Essenes and Desposyni were continually under threat of persecution by the Romans, who considered them to be enemies to the stability of the empire. In fact, the second-century historian Hegesippus recorded in *Hypomnemata* that Emperor Vespasian (69-70 CE) ordered that all the members of the Messianic House of David and Jesus should be put to death and were subsequently hunted down like outlaws, resulting in the Rex Deus assassins going pimentally underground. Additionally, he wrote that Emperor Domitian (81-96 CE) ordered the execution of the Desposyni by imperial decree, and that some of those that were seized were Oka and James, sons of Jesus' brother Jude. Again, Hegesippus reported the same sort of persecution during the subsequent reign of Emperor Trajan (circa 110 CE). Eusebius, in fact, documented in his composition *History of the Church* that Simeon was martyred by Trajan.
This then is likely why the Desposyni were welcomed into the Celtic kingdoms and hidden for protection, for both the Celtic culture and the Desposyni were determined enemies of both the Roman Empire and, later, the Roman Church. Eusebius confirmed that notwithstanding these persecutions to the death, some of the Desposyni leaders survived and remained the heads of their sects through strict dynastic progression. Freya Malachi Martin (in 318 CE) confirmed the survival of the Desposyni when a little-known Desposyni delegation optimistically traveled to Rome seeking a serious audience with Bishop Sylvester. While there, the Desposyni vigorously argued the church should be located in Jerusalem and not in Rome, and that the head of the church should be a descendant of Jesus or his family, but their demands were in vain and summarily dismissed.
As the Zadokite families were becoming the most powerful families in Europe, they began to call themselves Rex Deus, Latin for "Kings of God." Loomis and Knight wrote that the descendants of those Zadokite priests returned to Jerusalem in the 11th century as the Knights of Templar, once more linking the Essenes' dynastic descendants directly to the Templars through European nobility. Rex Deus and Priory of Sion Masonic rituals even to this day bear witness to, whilst steadfastly memorializing the refugee Zadokite priests and their founding of the Knights of Templar. Remember, the ascending royalty revealed in their furtive view of themselves as the old aristocracy of Jerusalem and David who long for Priory of Sion's dream: the return to the great days of Israel under the rule of the House of David. Hence, the direct dynastic ancestry connecting the Knights of Templar to the princes of Jerusalem has been preserved and honored to this day in the higher degrees of Freemasonry rituals that trace the Essene genealogy back to the Jewish priest and Desposyni that escaped Jerusalem in 70 CE, who in turn traced their genealogies back to Solomon and Moses.
Masonic testaments further confirm that in 118 CE, a group descending from the princes of Jerusalem was founded that became the famous Knights of Templar. In addition, the Temple belief is that they descend from builder priests who descend from an older order of builder priests that helped build the Solomon Temple is also contained within these Freemasonry rituals. Brewster in his book *Laurus History* and Dr. Oliver in his book *Antiquities* connect the Essenes to the builders of Solomon's Temple through a group identified as Asidians, an order of the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem. Brewster argues the Essenes were an ancient fraternity originating with an order of architects that built Solomon's Temple, for these have been the descendants of the Builder Gods from Atlantis and their priestly orders, the Seven Sages, or the followers of Horus. Certainly, Pliny asserted that Essenes had survived as an ancient order for thousands of years before his time, thereby dating the sun cults of the Essenes back to the time of the flood.
The builders of the First Temple were a combined labor force from Israel that included skilled craftsmen, along with skilled Canaanite craftsmen provided by King Hiram of Tyre and Canaanite craftsmen from Byblos. Chief of the craftsmen was the famous Hiram Abif, a great man of skill and master craftsman of metals, who oversaw the metalwork for the Temple. Hiram the variant is known as Hiram in Hebrew, and he is the famous Hiram Abif of Freemasonry lore, who is irrevocably linked with King Hiram. Each is considered in Freemasonry and other associated organizations and religions as a Grandmaster of the Black Arts and Sciences, the seven sacred sciences. Remember, Solomon is celebrated by Gnostics and Theosophists as a great sorcerer of the black arts and crafts, possessing skills and knowledge he supposedly inherited as part of kinship rights, which were passed down through history from Moses as black arts he allegedly learned in Egypt, which was somehow passed down from Hermes and Enoch, the evil Cain's son.
According to the Phoenician historian Gerhard Herm, King Hiram employed craftsmen who were descendants of the architects and master builders who built the Mycenaean royal castles and the Villa palaces, thus extending this royal lineage of master architects back into history, likely to the antediluvian epoch. Remember, history is divided into three palatial periods, including a pre-palatial beginning in 3200 BCE or before. These craftsmen were the famous ancient collective of Dionysian artificers of Tyre. According to Ian Gittins, they built most of the ancient temples in the Middle East. The Ancient Order of Freemasonry claims this is a part of their legacy. Masonic historian Manly P. Hall further confirms the Dionysian artificers were a secret society with doctrines much like the modern Freemasons. They taught architectural technology alongside with the wisdom of Solomon to their new Israelite initiates in Jerusalem for centuries. This knowledge then merged and was protected within the mystical Essene order before being passed on to Pythagoras.
Historical connections to the Knights Templar and the alleged Royal Essenes begin with the Second Temple and the famous biblical individual named Zerubbabel. Unger defines Zerubbabel as "seed or progeny of Babel or Babylon." It states that he was the head of the tribe of Judah at the time of the return of Judah from captivity in Babylon. The prophet Haggai recognized him as the dynastic Davidic heir and identified him as the one chosen by God to usher in a new era that would return the people of Judah to Jerusalem for a new Temple would be built. In fact, Zerubbabel is irrevocably linked to the start and successful completion of the Holy Temple as the branch or the Davidic heir.
The Bible refers to Zerubbabel as the son of Shealtiel, although he is called the son of Pedaiah, the brother of Shealtiel, in 1 Chronicles 3:19. Josephus referred to Zerubbabel as the son of Shealtiel of the posterity of David and the tribe of Judah. This is a discrepancy of the genealogies, a lie in the fact Shealtiel died without a male heir, once Pedaiah married his sister-in-law to fulfill his levite duty according to Jewish law. Zerubbabel was later regarded as the son of Shealtiel and his legitimate heir, even though Zerubbabel was still biologically the son of Pedaiah. Nelson's Bible Dictionary refers to Zerubbabel as a shadowy figure remembered as one of the primary builders of the Second Temple, who emerged as the political and spiritual leader of the tribe of Judah at the time of Babylonian captivity. He led the first group of captives back to Jerusalem and set about rebuilding the Temple for 20 years. Zerubbabel was closely associated with the prophets, priests, and kings until the Temple was dedicated.
Matthew 1:12 records Zerubbabel was the son of Shealtiel, the son of Jehoiachin, or Jeconiah, who was the king of Judah during Babylonian captivity, recorded in 1 Chronicles, which also recorded Zerubbabel as the grandson of Jeconiah. Through Zerubbabel's blood relationship to Jehoiachin, eventually, this made him Jeconiah's legal successor and heir to the throne of Judah, which consequently established him as a direct descendant of David and Solomon and, according to the Bible, the ancestor of Jesus (Matthew 1:5-17 and Luke 13:23-32). Zerubbabel somehow attained considerable status among his Persian captors and was likely in some form of the king's special service, since the Persian king appointed him as the governor of Judah with the mysterious and unexplained status. Nelson records Zerubbabel also became known as the Prince of Judah while in captivity during the reign of Darius. The unexplained special status must have derived from Zerubbabel's royal bloodlines. He and Jeshua the high priest later received authorization from Cyrus to rebuild the Temple, forging a remarkable partnership of cooperation among the captives, prophets, and the Persian kings who funded and supplied material for the project. The Second Temple was completed around 515-516 BCE, but mysteriously, Zerubbabel is not recorded in connection with the Temple dedication, even though the Temple became known to history as Zerubbabel's Temple. Haggai the prophet also promised a special blessing to Zerubbabel from God for his holy work at the Temple. Then Zerubbabel inexplicably disappears from biblical history after the Temple dedication and is never biblically mentioned or written up again, nor does another seed of David ever rise to govern Judah and Jerusalem.
According to Masonic legend and rituals, Zerubbabel was initiated into a very special order while in Babylon: the Knights of the Sword. He was armed with the sword Nebuchadnezzar received from Zerubbabel's grandfather, Jeconiah, when he was taken captive. We do not know whether or not this order was in existence before or not, but we do know that Zerubbabel in Masonic history became its leader and Grand Patriarch in a special order of Princes of Jerusalem. It was King Darius who inexplicably initiated Zerubbabel into this order, making him the Knight of the East, which again goes to support the mysterious rise of importance of Zerubbabel under the reign of Darius. Zerubbabel then returned to Jerusalem and presented himself to the Council of the Sanhedrin, where the newly formed brethren called Knight Masons were formed, and the Princes of Jerusalem. Loomis and Knight writes this Knight Mason order was reticently renowned as the Royal Arch Masons that built the Temple of Zerubbabel. Haggai the prophet and the high priest Jeshua allegedly led this curiously mystical organization.
This mystical order of Knight Masons was reincorporated by the descendants of the Princes of Jerusalem, or the Essenes, or the Desposini, 312 CE through Emperor Constantine. The conversion of Constantine was celebrated in the founding of the Order of the Red Cross. Writes that this order was an ancient, nostalgic order directly connected to and part of the Essenes, the Order of the Brothers of the Red Cross. The revived order was decreed to dawn an emblem on their armor, proudly displaying the Red Cross and 16 mystical stars. Constantine, proudly displaying the Red Cross and 16 mystical stars, then decreed this conclave of knights could become his personal bodyguards. The rose and the lily were subsequently adopted as emblems of their divine being. Mystically, these emblems represented the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley, which has a connection and is significant to the Amalekites and the descendants of Esau. The Lily of the Valley later became the coat of arms for the Priory of Sion, and the rose became synonymous with the Grail and Priory.
This reticent order once again reunited to conquer the Holy Land. It included the famous Tabuyon, who unfurled the banner of the cross in 1099 as one of the founders of the Knights of Templar, a member of the Priory of Sion, a descendant of the Mayor of Indias, a descendant of the Princes of Jerusalem, and a descendant of the Desposyni. According to Knight and Lomas, in 1118, these 11 Knights of the Cross of Constantine once more took their vows at the hands of Amalfa Guavi Mendoza, Prince and Patriarch of Jerusalem. These 11 Knights of the Cross of Constantine once more took their vows at the hands of Amalfo Guavi Mundos, Prince and Patriarch of Jerusalem. The knights then retook the names Princes of Jerusalem and Knights of the East and West in honor and remembrance of Zerubbabel and his founding organization, indoctrinated under King Darius of Persia.
The ancient Masonic institution, as recorded by craft legends, was inherited by the Essenes as successors. The Essenes then transmitted their reticent tenets to Pythagoras and his school of Crotona, where the tenets were disseminated throughout Europe, likely through Rex Deus organizations. This is how some of the knowledge of the Dionysian builders of Tyre was passed down to the Roman collegia via Pythagoras in the 2nd century BCE. In this spurious line of thought, Moses, the Israelites, and the House of Judah are considered the heirs to the Royal Dragon Houses of both Egypt and Babylon. They are celebrated as the House of Gold under the same ideology, the same ideology that the stewards hold to the same title. Moses and the new line of Aaronite priests allegedly inherited all the treasures and secret knowledge of the House of Gold, the Dragon Court of Egypt. In time, this powerful collection of wealth and knowledge eventually established the Royal House of David, Solomon, and Jesus as the new House of Gold, which passed down its legacy and secrets to the Zadokite priesthood.
The white-garbed Essenes were members of a cult that studied and preserved knowledge from the ancients. According to Josephus, Essenes considered white garments proper attire for all occasions. They were a secret society preserving their secrets and the names of their guiding angels, even unto death. It is most likely that Paul's letter to the Colossians identified and announced the Asceticacine cult with his warning: "Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you for the prize" (Colossians 2:18). Josephus went on to note that who the Essenes honored most after God was Moses, and that if anyone blasphemed, most as the Essenes would put them to death. Gardner notes these white-garbed Essenes were in truth the inheritors of the Egyptian Therapeutae that Moses was supposedly indoctrinated under. According to theosophist doctrine, Moses too inherited Egyptian knowledge and secrets, which were preserved under the watchful guardians of the Levite and Aaronite priesthoods.
Gardner goes on to state the Essenes were Therapeutae who closely aligned themselves, as allegedly did Jesus, with the famous mystics and healers of the white robe, with Egyptian Therapeutate as the inheritors of antediluvian knowledge and philosophy. Therapeutic medicine is defined as the branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of disease, nature cures, while physicians treat, again tying the medical associations of the world back to mystic roots. It is likely Paul was specifically denouncing the Essene ascetics in Colossians when he warned against "those who judge what you eat and those who deceive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on the true word of the Holy Creator" (Colossians 2:8, 16-20, and 3:23). So too does Unger describe the Essenes as having close ties to the Covenanters of Damascus, John the Baptist, and the Egyptian Therapeutae. Josephus describes the Essenes as inquiring after roots and medicinal stones to cure sickness.
Gardner also claims that the Essenes received medical knowledge from the ancients and practiced medicine accordingly. In fact, Gardner noted the title "Essene" likely derived from the Aramaic word *Asiya* meaning "physician," which corresponded to the Greek word *Essenoi*. Essenes were a mystical order of physicians and scientists in the spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, modern medical organizations, and the original Royal College of Physicians. Essenes cherished the dragon serpent as a symbol of the Essene Therapeutate. To this end, the dragon serpent was also identified with wisdom and healing. The dragon was held as a symbol of wisdom. In addition, in antiquity, dragons, like serpents, were thought to be the conveyors of enlightenment and the keepers of knowledge, just as the serpent Satan and his assorted seraphim and compatriots were regarded as conveyors of enlightenment and the providers of knowledge. The Essenes upheld the traditions of the dragon and its identification with wisdom and healing.
In addition to being the inheritors and guardians of the antediluvian Dragon Courts and secret knowledge, Essenes alternatively named themselves Gnostic Nazarenes, where "Nazarene" in this case derives from the Arabic word *natsa* meaning "to guard" or "to watch." They were guardians of science, custodians of the secrets to the universe, and the watchers for the enlightened science. Essenes believed that they were guardians of the arcane secrets and knowledge of David and Solomon that was inherited by Moses from the Egyptian Therapeutates. The Essenes are claimed to be the very same cult as the mystical counterfeit followers of John the Baptist, the alleged Nazorian Mandeans, who combined Gnosticism with Zoroastrianism.
Templar writers noted that Essenes were the inheritors of the Seven Sacred Sciences. In addition, they purportedly received additional knowledge from the Watchers, deities who oversaw the universe, just as these Essenes did. The Essenes then adopted the name Watchers or Nazarenes, for they guarded and watched over the sacred antediluvian knowledge. This then accounts for the high level of respect and worship that the Essenes held for their special Fallen Angels, the original Watchers, to the extent they would not deliver their names or their dark angels, even under torture and unto death by torture.
It was the little-known Gnostic Essenes who cleverly corrupted the New Testament through writing alternative but false gospels, side by side with the heresy of inventing the false Messianic bloodline maintained through Jesus' alleged sons. The Essenes were followers and the guardians of the Davidic Messianic bloodline, an immortal Jesus in particular. The Essenes were a cryptic, mystical sun cult of apocalyptic Messianic fanatics and zealots devoted to celibacy and austerity through the Manual of Discipline. It is likely that Jesus and Paul spoke specifically against this fraction in Matthew and Colossians.
This Royal House of Jesus and Judah that dated back to Solomon and David, inheriting the dragon bloodline, eventually becoming renowned as the House of Gold. Theosophists note that frankincense and golden myrrh were presented as gifts to the infant Jesus by the three famous Magi from the East, were traditional substances owned by priests, kings, Fisher Kings, and Nazarites of the Grail. The dragon bloodline and thus these unexpected gifts offered by the Magi allegedly identified Jesus symbolically as a dynastic priest-king of the House of Gold or Dragon Court. So then, Essenes were mystical Judeans. They were capitalists who based much of their understanding upon the Kabbalah, which originally derived from pagan Egyptian beliefs. The Jewish alchemists, Kabbalists, believe Moses and Hermes are their patriarchs. They believe Moses learned all the wisdom of the Egyptians, alchemy, and the other sacred sciences, and they back up this quoting Acts 7:22, where it states Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action. To this end, one would further conclude the mystical religions included Quran references to support this revisionist theory of Moses as Pharaoh, for the Quran recorded the leaders of Egypt and Egyptian sorcerers all slandered Moses as a learned sorcerer whose sorcery would all be proven false.
The Judean Kabbalists and the Essenes, according to Peter Marshall, further spoke specifically against this fraction in Matthew and Colossians. Judean Kabbalists or the Essenes, according to Peter Marshall, further dissonantly draft King Solomon as a patriarch alongside Moses, again disingenuously quoting First Kings, noting that Solomon excelled in the wisdom of the East, was greater than the wisdom of Egypt. Kabbalism is regarded as one of the core elements and as a symbolic source for Western occultism because its mythology claims Kabbalism was first revealed to Adam in Eden. Now, Kabbalah derives from the Hebrew word *qbl*, meaning "to receive." Capitalistic Essenes are the receivers and caretakers, watchers of divine knowledge. Others define Kabbalism as deriving from the ashes of Enochian Judaism, and they define the word as "receive tradition." The Essenes then were created sometime before the 1st century BCE from an organic Kabbalist. In fact, Kabbalists and Essenes believe Kabbalism is based on knowledge received from a select company of angels, the following which was maliciously given to disobedient children of the Earth, the descendants of Cain. According to Kabbalist writers, the largest collection of Jews practicing Kabbalism in the time of Jesus was replanted and took root in Septimania, also recognized as the province of Languedoc. The Essenes obviously survived and survived to this day among the Kabbalists, Gnostics, along with their ancient beliefs.
The apocalyptic flavor and doctrines of the Essene culture were in fact the antithesis to the Roman Christian apocalypse. The prophetic writings of the Essenes purported to install their mystic Messiah on the world, on the world throne through war, whereas the Roman Christian apocalypse prophesied that Jesus will inherit the earth throne after the Antichrist. The Gnostic Messiah usurps power for three and a half years, thus saving humankind from utter destruction and perpetual war.
Freemasonry begrudgingly accepts convenient portions of the most part of the Old Testament, only for the sake of their Sangreal chronology. Therefore, Freemasonry, Freemasons' self-proclaimed legitimacy stemming from the Essenes, Jesus, David, Solomon, and Moses. Freemasonry conveniently qualifies this grudging and limited acceptance by proclaiming what Freemasonry believes to be a well-known and well-understood contamination of scripture and rewriting of scripture and history. Freemasons hold their own so-called uncontaminated version within their organizations. Spurious alliances and enchanted rewrites will permeate to the end time. The Essenes.
