A Selection from Chapter 3 of The Lost History of Jesus by Dr Ali Muhammad…

The Dead Sea Scrolls and the time period surrounding the Destruction of Jerusalem by the
white Romans (69 A.D.) proves to be a time of confrontation between the True Black (Yashar-
Ahla) Israelites, the Black Men and Women who were descendants of the Semitic lineages (now
called Africans) and the ‘Yahad’, the pale Caucasians and Semitics. It was a race war between
Black and White between the Indigenous Law bearers and the opposing colonizing conspirators
whose upper elites have reconstructed history and religious texts. Norman Gold author of “Who
Wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls” has done a wonderful work to prove that the Scrolls found at
Khirbet Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls) are the result of diverse groups of religious peoples during
that time who worked to preserve materials they saw as sacred. The Orthodox Religious,
Linguistic, and Historical Scholars appointed to research and translate the Dead Sea Scroll
materials, who politically worked for 30 years to keep the Dead Sea Scrolls untranslated and out
of the reach of the public, formed false ideas into the minds of the people that there was a single
group that was responsible for the scrolls. They attempted to make the ‘Yahad’ that group of
‘Essenes’ responsible for the work. The underlying reasons are clear. There were 3 main reasons
this was done. Those 3 reasons give clarity to what actually happened in the 1st century A.D.
with the beginning development of Judaism amongst whites and Christianity among white
Romans.
1) they wanted to hide the racial identity of the most famous and event shaping (Black)
People in history (Israel/Moors) now misnomered Africans and
2) to suppress the truth that would unveil the historical reality of Judaism and Christianity
for what they really are and their geo-political and destructive origins and history. This reality
would as oppose the present ideas given to the masses of their “Revelatory Divine Origins and
Natures’ as Religious Faiths from God and
3) The truth of one of history’s most important men ‘Jesus’… that all of the history of the 1st
Century A.D. in the Dead Sea Scrolls does deal with a Messianic movement amongst the
Black Israelites/Moors but not one Historical Text or finding outside of Flavius Josephus’s
(Paul’s) concoction called the New Testament speaks of a Messiah or Messianic Figure
named ‘Jesus’ during that time.

The only figure given was a famed figure amongst the ‘Yahad’ (White People) called the
‘Teacher of Righteousness’, who was really Flavius Josephus himself. Flavius Josephus in his
work called “The Works of Flavius Josephus” translated by William Whiston gives key details
about his activity during this time period in the 1st Century [A.D.] that link him to this Yahad
(white Jewish) group, which ultimately through this investigative research connects and links
him directly by identity to the Paul of the New Testament.

Flavius Josephus, the most famous white Jewish Historian

of all time. He was born in 37 A.D. in Galilee and became
Jewish High Priest of the Galilee Territory during the time
of the Revolt 69 B.C. *He sided with the Romans and
began to record the history of the Jews after the
Destruction of Jerusalem. As the most noted Pharisee of
his time his profile fits the Biblical Paul exactly. It is he
and other Pharisees that worked with him that are primarily
responsible for the present false histories in religion and the
forms of present Judaism and Christianity that developed
into the Catholic Church
Our goal is to manifest and prove that it was Josephus who forged what we have as the ‘New
Testament’, who secretly and openly worked to subvert and destroy the Black Hachmoni
[Hasmoneans/Maccabees] or real Black Israelites/Moors, descendants of the Ancient Semitic
lineages. This Aboriginal Semitic Lineage is composed of all of the Major Scriptural Prophets.
After his (Flavius Josephus) deals with the Roman government and the subsequent Destruction
of Jerusalem and attack on the Black Essenes/Israelites/Moors the current dominant versions
of Judaism and Christianity have their birth from him (Josephus) and other Pharisees working
with him. On page 1 of “The Works of Flavius Josephus” under the section, “The Life of
Flavius Josephus”, Josephus is detailing his preparation as a young man to choose what avenue
of religious study that he was to partake in. He deals with three particular sects that are present
in ‘The Middle East” at that time; The Pharisees, Sadducees and the Essenes. He also deals
with a three (3) year study that links him to a Biblical Passage of Paul in 1st Galatians.

“Moreover when I was a child about fourteen years of age, I was commended by all for the
love I had to learning; on which account the high priests and principal men of the city came
then frequently to me together, in order to know my opinion about the accurate
understanding of points of the law1, and when I was about sixteen years old, I had a mind to
make trial of the several sects that were among us. These sects are three: - The first is that of
the Pharisees, the second that of the Sadducees, and the third that of the Essenes, as we have
frequently told you; for I thought by this means I might, choose the best, if I were once
acquainted with them all; so I contented myself with hard fare, and underwent great
difficulties and went through them all. Nor did I content myself with these trials only; but
when I was informed that one, whose name was Banus2, lived in the desert, and used no other
clothing than grew upon trees, and had no other food than what grew of its own accord, and
bathed himself in cold water frequently, both by night and by day, in order to preserve his
chastity, I imitated him in those things, and continued three (3) years. So when I had
accomplished my desires, I returned back to the city, being now 19 years old, and began to
conduct myself according to the rules of the sect of Pharisees…”3

Here we have Josephus detailing the beginnings of his religious study. The first is the three (3)
year study in the desert with a man named Banus. The Biblical Paul, who was Josephus in real
history, points out a three year period in his Biblical Epistles in the Book of Galatians Chapter
1:11-18

“But I certify you, brethren that the Gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12- For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the Revelation of Jesus
Christ

1
Josephus here in his description of himself as a ‘very young authority on the law that taught the elders the
meaning and interpretation’ resembles strikingly the passages of the New Testament that speak of Jesus as teacher
the Elders of the Temple when only twelve years of age
2
The interactions of Josephus being initiated (baptized) by Banus are very similar to John the Baptist baptizing
Jesus. Banus is even described the same as John the Baptist…
3
The Works of Flavius Josephus translated by William Whiston Section: The Life of Flavius Josephus
13- For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews religion, how that beyond
measure I persecuted the church of God4, and wasted it
14- And profited in the Jews Religion above many my equal in mine own nation, being more
exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers
15- But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by
his grace
16- To reveal his son in me that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I
conferred not with flesh and Blood:
17- Neither went I up into Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I WENT
INTO ARABIA, and RETURNED unto DAMASCUS.
18- So after three (3) years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with Him
fifteen days…”

Arabia was referred to as ‘The Desert’ just as Josephus refers to it. In particular ‘the Sinai’ was
considered Arabia and “The Desert”. It was there (Sinai) that Thutmose III (Moses) and Queen
Neferure Maryam (Mary) set up a Temple at Sarabit Al Khadim, The Amarna Nation (18th
Dynasty of Egypt) left their marks of learning, statues etc… there that verify their existence in
the desert of the Sinai (Arabia). This area continued to be a stronghold for them all the way up
to this phase that we are discussing (1st Century A.D) in respect to their descendants, the
Israelites (Essenes/Moors). In fact one of the two oldest copies of the Septuagint Bible ‘The
Alexandrine Codices’ often referred to as the ‘Mount Sinai Septuagint’ was found in this
‘Desert’ in Sinai the only other older text being the Codex Vaticanus5. Banus the man who
taught Josephus for ‘Three Years’ would have had to have been a member of this ‘Order of
Essenes (Israelites)’ and the descriptions of His life style by Josephus are a bearing of witness
to it. The Essenes had ‘a three year initiation period’ which Josephus mentions. Baptism was
very important to them, just as it was for Banus ‘to preserve his chastity’ as Josephus recorded
it, which is quite similar to the John the Baptist history’, which we will compare further along in
this writing. Josephus goes even further in admitting that the Essenes are ‘Jews’ by birth. In
the Section “Wars of the Jews Book 2 Chapter 8 Section 2” Josephus relates this historical
reality,

“For there are three philosophical sects among the Jews. The followers of the first whom are
the Pharisees; of the second the Sadducees; and the third sect, who pretends a severer
discipline, and called Essenes. These last are Jews ‘By Birth’ and seem to have a greater
affection for one another than the other sects have”.6

As a white Pharisee he would not have been a Black Jew/Israelite by birth. Josephus’s record of
the lifestyle of the Essenes (Israelites) is very similar to his description of the practices of the
man who taught him in the Desert for three years ‘Banus’. In the same Chapter in Section 7 he
states of the Essenes (Israelites),
“But now if anyone hath a mind to come over to their sect, he is not immediately admitted,
but he is prescribed the same method of living which they use, for a year, while he continues

The Church that Paul or Josephus persecuted was the true Israel or Essene (Christian) movement amongst the
Black Israelites

excluded; and they give him a small hatchet, and the fore-mentioned girdle, and the white
garment(Same in 1st degree of Masonry). And when he hath given evidence, during that time,
that he can observe their continence, he approaches nearer to their way of living, and is made
partaker of the waters of purification; yet he is not even now admitted to live with them; for
after this demonstration of his fortitude, his temper is tried two more years, and if he appear
to be worthy, then they admit him into their society…”

Again we see here ‘the three year period’, as it was given that Josephus was instructed and
taught by Banus, the water purification, and the seriousness and well designed initiation
process that appears not new but as an ancient and regular practice of the Essenes
(Israelites/Moors). Is the Galatians text about Paul going into Arabia and then to Damascus in a
three (3) year period depicting Josephus going into the desert to study for thee (3) years among
the Essenes (Israelites), particularly one Banus, and then continuing on to Damascus? This
sounds strikingly similar to the New Testament Myth stories of the interaction of Josephus’s
myth made Savior, The Jesus of 2000 years ago, and activity surrounding the Biblical Paul.
Keep in mind Josephus used the texts of these Essenes like Isaiah etc… all of which speak of
the Savior in the past tense. Isaiah lived with the Israelites in around 700 BC. Why would he
speak grammatically in the Hebrew about the Savior in the past tense?
Paul states that it was when he was on His way to Damascus that he received the alleged
‘Revelation and Covenant’ from Jesus. Acts 22: 6-10 describes the event,

“6- And it came to pass, that as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about
noon suddenly there shown from heaven a great light round about me
7- And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me
8- And I answered, who art thou, Lord? And He said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom
thou persecutest.
9- And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the
voice of him that spake to me.
10 – And I said, What shall I do Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise and go into
Damascus and there it shall be told thee of all things, which are appointed for thee to do”.

It is virtually impossible to have Paul and Josephus not knowing each other or not being the
same man. One is recorded in History as one of the greatest historians ever (Josephus) so much
so that any scholar of history who wants to know the recorded events of the first century A.D. in
the Roman Empire or amongst the religious faiths must come and study the Works of Flavius
Josephus. The other character (Paul) is known from the Bible as the largest chronicler of
Religious Histories and the man who is famous for making ‘Jesus Christ’ known to the world as
‘the Savior’. Then came the church, the Catholic Church, and the present form of Rabbinic
Judaism. All of this springs up around the same time surrounding Josephus and
Paul…….Huuuummmmm? Being in as remote an area as the Middle East, and in fact in and
around the exact same cities during the same time period, both Josephus and Paul admitting to
being Pharisees7, they would have to have known each other. Neither of the men mentions the
other man in His writings. To not have any records or contacts of each other would indeed have
been impossible, unless of course they are the same man. The puzzle fits. They are the same

man. The question is why, and what is the implication of his and others’ motives? How crafty
have white Jews been in respect to identity theft that has affected every aspect and dimension of
life in the 21st century, whether it be religion or politics? A List below shows over 35 people
recorded in both the Works of Flavius Josephus and in the Epistles of Paul that prove with
empirical data that they contacted, talked to and dealt with the same people. They were the same
man.

The Josephus/Paul Comparison-Were they the same man? The plot of the White Jews?

Damascus is a very important place in the history of Josephus or Paul. In the findings called the
Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, there were fragments of a text called the Damascus Covenant, which
also had parts discovered nearly a half-century earlier. The only purpose in discussing this find
is that it further validates that there existed a split and a war ensuing between the Black
Israelites called Essenes and Nasoreans and the white Jews allied with the white Roman
government. The white Jews called Yahad were apart of this ‘new covenant’ at Damascus that
we find Josephus or Paul so tied to, as the mysterious Teacher of Righteousness. This was the
beginning of white Judaism and white Roman Catholic Christianity as we know it. It was all
built off of the destruction of Black People and our identity. The white Jews of the ‘New
Covenant’ after they plotted and conspired with the Romans to destroy Jerusalem needed to
alter the Religious texts of that time to fit their newly concocted identity as the Jews of Israel, so
they did so at The Council of Jamnia. The Council of Jamnia was a council held at the end of
the 1st Century A.D. with the compilation of the new official Jewish canon or what we call the
revising of the original Septuagint or Old Testament. It was Josephus who was the first to
declare the recompiled history of the white Jews as ‘A Holy Book’.

“We do not possess myriads of inconsistent books, conflicting with each other. Our books,
those which are justly accredited, are but two and twenty, and contain the record of all time.
Of these, five are the books of Moses, comprising the laws and the traditional history from the
birth of man down to the death of the lawgiver. This period falls only a little short of three
thousand years. From the death of Moses until Artaxerxes, who succeeded Xerxes as king of
Persia, the prophets subsequent to Moses wrote the history of the events of their own times in
thirteen books. The remaining four books contain hymns to God and precepts for the conduct
of human life. From Artaxerxes to our own time the complete history has been written, but
has not been deemed worthy of equal credit with the earlier records, because of the failure of
the exact succession of the prophets8

The sentiment of the changing of the texts that describe Israel at the Council of Jamnia is
expressed by many researchers. Carl F. Berges author of “How the Old Testament Came To
Be” says this of the Council of Jamnia,

“Although the whole of the Old Testament had been written by 150 B.C., the writings were
not declared authoritative until 90 A.D. by a council of rabbis at Jamnia. It was this group
which decided which of the later writings should be included in the Old Testament.9
It is clear from the compilations made by these white Jews that they never intended the histories
of the Black Israelites to be made known. Why? It is because it would uncover their plot to graft
themselves in as the True Israelites. They completely ignored ‘the Apocrypha’ or the writings of

the Black Israelites, The Maccabees, Hasmoneans, and the Essenes. Author Alice Parmelee
notes this omission in her book ‘A Guide Book to the Bible

“It was at Jamnia in the famous school of Johanan ben Zakkai that the council met about A.D. 90 to
decide which books belonged to the canon. Pointing, no doubt, to the actual rolls brought from the
Temple, the scribes and learned men of the council argued the merits of the various books. At length,
they established the Hebrew canon in which the Writings were included, but the Apocrypha was left
out.10

The Sanhedrin which was the new council of white Jews, who would over see the political
religious system to be designed, sat over the conference. This was directly connected to the
planned destruction of Jerusalem by the white Romans after constant communication with Paul
or the man in history we know of as Flavius Josephus. He played the key role in orchestrating
the conspiracy to stamp out the True Black Israel; The Encyclopedia Britannica notes this
activity by the Great Sanhedrin after the destruction of Jerusalem,

“After the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans (A.D. 70) Jamnia became the home of the
Great Sanhedrin11. A meeting of Rabbis held there c. A.D. 100 discussed and settled the final
canon of the Old Testament.12

The activity surrounding the Council of Jamnia is very covert (hidden) when investigating it.
The one thing though that is most clear is that the ultimate objective was the securing of the
newfound legacy of the white Jewish heritage that was in formation,

“Though unfortunately we know otherwise very little about this synod, it is at least clear that
it regarded its task as the securing of the Jewish heritage, and in this it succeeded.13

From this time on we see the formation of the Canon or legally established and official Biblical
texts of the white Jewish Rabbis and the further commentary on their work in the form of the
Talmuds that all began in council form at Jamnia. These traditions called the Mishnah and later
Talmuds are a main part of the Religion of white Judaism today. All of this sprang from their
work to undermine the real Black Israelites,

“The Mishnah, which forms the basis for both the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds, was
traditionally compiled by Rabbi (Judah the Prince), who was born in A.D. 135 and died about

R. Akiba,15 the latter of whom was active at Jamnia.
The Black Israelites continued to suffer much in the region we know of as the Holy Lands.
Some eventually spread into Abyssinia [Ethiopia], Egypt, North & West Africa, and Arabia and
many came to the Americas (under the anthropological title of the ship traveling Phoenecians).
The problem of the true records of the history of the Nation of God (Israel) would not be
corrected until the compilation of the Holy Qur’aan under Muhammad who was apart of this
ancient Lineage and even with this resurrection of Bana Israel the pale Arabs have successfully
disrupted the true heritage of this Ancient Black Semitic lineage, until today.
