CHAPTER 9 : THE REAL MARY MAGDALENE

Now let us move into a thorough examination of the hard data the gospels provide us about "mary magdalene" herself. All 4 canonical gospels mention her expressedly a dozen times in all, thus making her one of the most popular gospel characters. We also may notice, by checking nestle/aland´s critical apparatus, that the sobriquet magdalene for mary is always consistent throughout the gospels in each and every one of thousands of greek NT manuscripts - a clear indicator that mary had always been known as magdalene from the very start and nobody could have tampered with such a famous sobriquet.

The first occurrence for mary magdalene in the NT is at matthew 27:56 : jesus has just breathed his last on the cross ; from afar, a throng of women witnesses his death : among them, "mary magdalene and mary the mother of james and joseph and the mother of the sons of zebedaeus ".

Clearly again here the gospel forgers and their editors are using the age-old disinformation technique of multiplying one person into several fictional characters, in order to obfuscate the real identity and import of that antiestablishment person. Here for instance, mary magdalene is the mother of jesus, as we saw above, acknowledged as such without a problem by rabbi rashi as late as the XI century. She is the water-drawer because she is the wife of a well and mother of a well - well being the designation of qumran´s community´s spiritual leaders.

Therefore here mary magdalene is identical to the second fictional mary, the mother of james, qumran well 38-62 ce, and joseph : james the just was one of the 5 sons of mary and hanan the hidden. Joseph of course is an overwrite too, he never existed at all. He is an overwrite for jesus, brother of james and son of mary and hanan. A glance at nestle/aland´s apparatus will immediately confirm this : an apparatus criticus in a scientific edition is footnotes detailing the variant forms present in the manuscripts : here several manuscripts read IOSE instead of joseph. Iose = jesus, as hebrew for jesus is JOSHUA, aramaic YESHUA. Therefore this second mary is identical with the first : she is magdalene, mother of james and jesus - and of judas, simeon and john the baptist.

The third woman mentioned here at matthew 27:56, the mother of the sons of zebedaeus, is again the same mary mother of james and jesus : the sons of zebedaeus were james and john the baptist.

Zebedaeus is yet another wordplay/overwrite for the semitic word SABA, bather, since water both as a real element and as a metaphor was so important to these real early christians or nazoraeans or sabaeans.

According to mainstream, clericofascist exegesis, zebedaeus, greek zebedaios, was the father of apostles james anf john. I contend that james and john were brothers of jesus and sons of hanan the hidden and that this overwrite zebedaios never existed at all. Mainstreamers interpret zebedaios as deriving from hebrew zabdi gift.

But I-century jewish historian josephus flavius in his books bellum judaicum and vita, mentions several times a jesus son of a guy that josephus´ manuscripts read variously as SAPPHO ; SAPPHAN ; SAPPHIA ; SAPHAT ; SAPITHA.

Now especially the last 2 variants are near-identical to ZEBED- IN ZEBEDAIOS. Look :

SAPHAT

ZEB ED

SAP ITH

In semitic languages what counts are the consonants - vowels change around a lot. Therefore ZEBED in zebedaios, the father of james and john, is virtually equivalent to SAPHAT AND SAPITH, the father of a jesus who fights bitterly against the romans and proroman jews in the first war of 66-73 ce.

I contend that this jesus son of (bar in aramaic) sapphan/sapphia/saphat/sapith is identical with jesus the son of mary and brother of james and john, and that zebedaios is identical with all these variants for jesus´ father in historian josephus´manuscripts.



Now this militant antiroman jihadist in josephus flavius, jesus bar sapphan, pops up in gospel lore too as...BARABBAS !!! Exegetes usually explain away barabbas as meaning bar abba, son of the father in aramaic, a silly tautology deprived of plausibility. Barabbas is just an overwrite for our jesus bar sapphan in flavius.

Barabbas was the famous murderer allegedly chosen by the jews for liberation instead of jesus.

What we have here is pure classical theater, the doubling again of one person, jesus bar sapphan attested to by josephus flavius, into 2 : himself as barabbas, and a fictional gospel jesus, meek pacifist and proroman.

The NT forgers clone real antiroman zealots such as jesus bar sapphan into 2 or more (jesus and barabbas, mary magdalene, mary the mother of james, the mother of the sons of zebedaios) in order to erase from history the single real person undissected, because he or she was antiroman and anticapitalist.
