The Four Evangelists of Christian Tradition

Despite the Grand Vision of Ezekiel, the Jewish Monarchy was not restored in Judea when their people were released from Babylon. Cyrus the Great, the Persian King who conquered Babylon around 539 BCE, released the Jewish people from their Babylonian Captivity by issuing a decree in 538 BCE, allowing them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their temple and homeland, an event pivotal in Jewish history. (See Edict of Cyrus, Return to Zion and Cyrus Cylinder).

However, it was the Grand Vision of Ezekiel that was responsible for the origin of the Four Evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) and their distinct symbols (man/angel, lion, ox, eagle) in early Christian interpretation linking them to the four living creatures seen by the prophets Ezekiel and Revelation, representing different facets of Jesus' life and ministry, a tradition formalized by saints like Irenaeus and Jerome, solidifying their unique perspectives on the Good News (Gospel).This was because of the common superstition that Jesus Christ came from the Line of Judah, the Lion of Israel, a pure historical fabrication and a product of the human imagination if there ever was one! Compare Ezekiel's Vision (Ezekiel 1:4-11) with Revelation's Vision (Revelation 4:6-9).

The biggest waste of trust about Christianity has got to be the Trial of Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate. Did these two people ever meet? Is it really a historical event or an article of faith? An example of the development of Christianity belonging to a different timeline of Christianity – because Pontius Pilate is not even mentioned once in the earliest Christian documents of the first century CE. Yet, this is regarded as the basic reason behind the historicity of Jesus Christ by historians!

Can the Trial of Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate really be trusted as a Historical Event when no such thing was mentioned by Christians themselves during the first century CE? It's certainly a massive indictment of modern historians if it amounts to mere Christian Faith – and just another Lie representing basic Christian Belief.

There was every reason for it to have been a Christian invention of the second century in order to buttress the Anti-Semitism that existed during the Jewish Wars against the Roman Empire (historical context, ignored by secular historians, elevating instead the religious history). There was every reason not to believe the Gospels as being works of actual history. Yet historians miss this very point.

There is every reason to ignore the historical facts of the four Gospels, if we equate the number four with the four of the Grand Vision of Ezekiel and the failed restoration of the Jewish Monarchy. Yet even more reason to suspect that Christianity is a mere example of religious superstition rather than Secular History. The teaching of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ within earliest Christianity is pivotal to its very existence yet there is absolutely no mention at all of Pontius Pilate or any historical context whatever. The central element of faith within the earliest form of Christianity is without any historical context, but rather instead a marking of a brand new Jewish Religion that Judaism itself persecuted.

It can be easily ascertained that the inscription INRI on the Cross of Jesus Christ was a 100% Christian invention and nothing more (Matthew 27:37, Mark 15:26, Luke 23:38, John 19:19-22).

It cannot be emphasised enough that the later Christianity of the Gospels of the second century CE becomes childishly overlaid over the Christianity of the first century CE when the Gospels simply did not exist – and this is done universally everywhere by Christian Scholarship – all that needs to be done is to read any “Christian scholarly book” anywhere – in any language. This is precisely why present-day New Testament scholarship, dating roughly as it does from the early 20th Century – treats the Gospel material as if it existed from the First century CE – the form of Christianity as depicted in the 1977 mini television series Jesus of Nazareth, directed by Franco Zeffirelli – this very course of action has reached a solid consensus of agreement worldwide, disregarding completely that there were different forms of Christianity, some of which scorned and disregarded the very historical existence of Jesus Christ (conveniently ignored as if it never existed). Witness the continued existence of Christian Propaganda as perpetuated by Historians, New Testament Scholars and New Testament Theologians, forcibly and universally pushing the deception in Open and Plain Sight for us all to see.
