Some of the various future Christian sects and cults began counting time from this date having erroneously assumed it is the birth date of Jesus the Christ alias Joshua the Messiah (6 B.C.- 33 A.D.). It is also noteworthy to remind ourselves that during this period of the Dead Sea Scrolls it is considered normal to rewrite biblical stories by expanding, combining or revising them with new or different details in accordance with the scribes understanding and beliefs. As an example the current book of Jeremiah contains 52 chapters whereas the book Jeremiah of the Essenes only contains 17 chapters. The Book of Esther is completely excluded from the Essenes Sect writings. It is also noteworthy that 127 of the Dead Sea Scrolls apply to generally accepted Biblical text and that the actual writing of the Bible spans more than 1,000 years. At this time the common language of the various Judaism sects in Palestine is Arabic and their writings is Syro-Chaldaic but most people also understand the Greek language. Hebrew is very rare almost extinct at this time. Many historians discount the writings of this period based on their personal set of beliefs and values. The Essenes reference to the "teacher of Righteousness" is speculated to be Jesus, John the Baptist, the Apostles John or James or maybe one of the Maccabean Kings of Judia.
Jerusalem, Damascus and the Sinai are presently under the control of the Nabatean Empire (Saudi Arabia) who had their capital at Petra just south of Jerusalem.
Flavious Josephus alias Joseph Ben Matthias (37-100 A.D.) the Jewish historian records that the Essene Judaism sect study the writings of the ancients and choose out of them what is most for the advantage of their soul and body. The Essene Judaism scribes wrote in Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew. Hebrew is often used for writings attributed to the Mythical Moses and Aramaic is considered the language of the Angels and is often used to record Testaments, Incantations and the like. The Essene Judaism sect is a Messianic Sect and some suggest they retreated into the wilderness (Qumran) to make straight the Way in the Wilderness for God. They expected to be visited by the Heavenly Host (spirits) for the War against all evil on this earth. Other accounts suggest that every city and town contains large numbers of the Essene Judaism Sect. Philo recorded the Essenes avoided all cities on account of the habitual lawlessness of those who inhabit them. The Essenes have nothing to do with war, commerce, or slavery that last evil being against "the ordinances of nature". Philo is not entirely correct as the Essenes Judaism sect include some Zealots who readily engage in war. There are also some that live in cities and engage in commerce. Both Philo and Josephus agree there are some 4,000 followers of the Essene way.
The Polynesian had explored and settled one half the inhabitable Islands of the Pacific Ocean. They carried their agriculture and animals as the expanded throughout the Pacific.
Settlers began arriving to Madagascar from Polynesia
A Caucasian race called the Ainu occupied Japan. Some believe they are the original people of China.
The Germanic tribes are moving into Norway from the mainland to become the Viking, Norsemen or Varangian people. A people from the Urals and the Baltic migrated to Finland displacing most of the Lapp people.
A significant discovery of bone fragments in 2001 dating to this period are likely Essene but they caused an archaeological religious battle. The bones were reburied because Rabbinical authority in Israeli forbids the digging up of Jewish graves as the findings might contradict conventional religious beliefs.
Kazakhstan, N.W. of China, a formers Soviet Republic before gaining independence is a rich source of the name 'Shu', in namilng of cities towns, rivers and districts. It is a mix of Turkic and Mongol Nomadic tribes. This 'Shu' is represented by a one character name and not a two character name Tian Shan or Central mountains of Kazakhstan near the Chinese border is believed to be the birth place of the apple (the Malus sieversii family of apples)
The Greece recorded the making of Lasagna noodles, not boiled but roasted on hot stones or ovens. True pasta noodles are made from wheat dough dried, preferably from durum wheat.
China developed the stern mounted rudder that had two advantages, more positive steering with their flat bottom boats and they could be lifted in shallow water. At this time during the Han Dynasty the Chinese invented the junk ship. This ship design was so effective it is still used in modern times.
Some time between 27 B.C. and 68 A.D. 75 skeletons were excavated in Southern Italy at Vagnari, Italy. One skeleton a male had the DNA of an East Asian. The Roman Empire was believed to have no knowledge of the Far East at this time. Grave goods from this individual's grave gave no indication he was of foreign birth. Vagnari was believed to be an industrial site for tile-making and iron working, with artisans and enslaved workers producing material for Rome's expanding empire. This creates a host of issues related to globalization, human migration, and identity, in the ancient world.
A DNA analysis of hairs on a burial shroud dated to 1AD to 50 AD in Jerusalem suggests the man had leprosy. It also suggests the Shroud of Turin is likely a fake. The shroud is made of simple-woven linen and wool, while the shroud of Turin is a complex twill weave, a fabric not believed to be made until the Middle Ages.
The climate of the Sahara returns mainly to desert, rather similar to modern conditions.
In northern Saudi Arabia Qasr al-Farid rises four stories an uncompleted tomb not far from the ancient city of Hegra. The Nabataeans built 93 similar tombs. It is believed these were built some time during this century. These nomad Arabic speaking peoples are believed to have settled down some time in the first or second century B.C. They developed the Arabic script likely to facilitate trade. The capital city of Petra of the Nabataean Kingdom was built about 60 B.C. The Romans conquered the Kingdom in 107 A.D. The Lihyanites predated the Nabataean during the 6th to 4th century B.C.
2 AD
China conducted a population survey this year counting 57,671,400 people.
5 AD
The first recorded dry pasta made from wheat was itriyah in Arabic, meaning dried noodle and likely originated in Palermo, Sicily.
6 AD
The Chinese emperor Pingdi (1 B.C.-6 A.D) dies suddenly, February 3 at age 14, and his regent Wang Mang, 50, selects the youngest of more than 50 eligible heirs to the throne: the boy was born only last year, but Wang becomes acting emperor (9-23) in his own right (his enemies say that he poisoned Pingdi)
(8)-Jesus son of Sic the High Priest of Jerusalem is replaced by (9)-Annas (Anni) or Ananus I (6-15) son of Seth who is appointed by Quirinus as the High Priest of Jerusalem of the Sadducee Judaism Sect. (8)-Ananus I (6-15) is the father-in-law of (13)-Joseph Caiapus high priest (16-36). (8)-Ananus I (6-15) is also the father of five other high priests, (11)-Eleazar, (14)-Jonathan (37-?), Theophilus, (17)-Matthias and (24)-Ananus II the Younger. Theophilus is not listed as High Priest. He is also the grandfather of (17)-Matthas, high priest in 65 AD.
Roman Emperor Gaius Augustus Octavian Caesar (43 B.C.-14 A.D.) conducted a joint Judaism and Samaritan hearing. The Samaritans accused Archelaus (4 B.C - 6 A.D.) Tetrarch of Judaea and Sumeria, the son of King Herod (40-4 B.C.) of cruelty toward the people. Both groups who seldom joined forces demanded the abolition of the monarchy. It is noteworthy that the Zealot sect of Galilee is extremely nationalistic in their beliefs. Caesar Augustus as a result banished Archelaus (4 B.C. - 6 A.D.) the son of Herod (40-4 B.C.) to Vienna, a city in Gaul (France) and his property is transferred to Caesar's treasury. The Essene Judaism sect member Simon had predicted Archelaus fall from power. The Essene is known to be schooled as scribes, seers and prophets. Coponius (6-9) is appointed Roman Prefect of Judaea in Palaestina that is now added to the Province of Syria. Cyrenius a Roman senator is appointed judge of Syria. Judaea effectively became a part of a Roman Province rather than a territory of Syria. During his reign a Galilean named Judas of Gama a Sophist (Zealot teacher, rabbi, or philosophic teacher) incited a revolt against the Roman census being conducted by Quirinius Governor of Syria. Sadduc a Pharisee Judaism sect member joined the Judas Zealot movement. Judas and Zaddok (scholar of the school of Shammai) of the Pharisee Judaism sect inflamed the anger of the people against Rome. Joezer the high priest, son of Boethus calmed the popular feelings and prevented revolution during the Coponius reign. At this time the Pharisees Judaism sect do not take away the freedom from men of acting as they see fit but this will shortly change. The Sadducees Judaism sect at this time is not liked by the multitude. The Essenes Judaism sect is excluded from the common court of the temple, are addicted to virtue and righteousness. These Essenes sect share everything in common. The Judaism Zealot Sects or followers of Judas the Galilean have an inviolable attachment to Judaism liberty and they say that God is to be their only Ruler and Lord. The Zealots do not fear death.
See the Gospel according to Luke 2, 1-7 making reference to Joseph of Nazareth in Galilee traveling to Judaea to Bethlehem with Mary his wife. Jesus would be about 11-12 years old at this time. It is noteworthy that Nazareth, Galilee had only two or three clans living in some thirty-five houses spread over an area of two hectares. Joshua the Messiah alias Jesus of Nazareth (6 B.C.-26 to 36) with his family visited Jerusalem, in Judaea of Palestine to celebrate the Jewish Passover. Most future Christian Sects failed to appreciate that Jesus of Nazareth (6 B.C.-26 to 36) is a practicing Messianic Essene Judaism, is named Joshua, spoke Aramaic and remained faithful to the various Jewish tradition during his lifetime. Hebrew at this time is a dead language only used by the scribes for the writings attributed to Moses and most Palestinian's speak and write Aramaic. Flavious Josephus (37-100 A.D.) the Jewish historian writes in Aramaic that he later translated into Greek. The Dead Sea Scrolls however contain both Greek and Hebrew and date from 200 B.C. to 70 A.D. suggesting the Messianic Essene Judaism scribes still had a working knowledge of Hebrew at this time. It is noteworthy that Hebrew is a mixture of Sumerian (Semite), Akkadian and the Canaanite languages. The business language, at this time, in Palestine is Italian, Greek, Arabic and Aramaic.
Josephus the historian assigns Judas of Gama (Galilee) a Sophist and Zaddok the Pharisee as being the real founders of the Zealot sect. The Zealot sect inaugurated the eschatological reign of the Kingdom of Heaven for God's elected people here and now. The Zealots aligned with most of the philosophies of the Pharisees but they are messianic and a revolutionary movement. The Jerusalem Zealots wanted to democratize the high priesthood and are not interested in the messianic expectations. The Galilean Zealots however wanted real far-reaching social change. It is noteworthy that this is the first year that the existence of the Zealots is recorded by Josephus (37-100 A.D.) the Jewish historian.
The Essene Judaism sects of the New Messianic Covenant believed that with the aid of the Holy Spirit one can attain the knowledge of Divine Secrets some being contained in their Book of Enoch. There appears to be two different Essene Judaism sects, one who practice celibacy and who disdain women as being wanton and consider marriage to becoming a slave instead of free. The other Essene Judaism sect practice marriage to propagate the race. They marry not for pleasure but for children, they only marry women who are already menstruating and do not have intercourse during pregnancy. This is likely the origin of the Roman Church law of women being unclean. The celibates share everything in common while the married ones share many things in common but pay tithe, the salary of two days each month. Common meals, be they regular or special, are indications of that life. The Essene Judaism had ordinary meals that were preceded by prayer but they had a special eschatological meal that the Messiah blessed the food and drink (usually bread and wine). In the final days they believed the end-time meal would be with the Messiahs present. The Essene believed two Messiahs but one coming, a priestly one and a lay one in that authoritative order. Much of the Essene theology is adopted into the Roman Church.
7 AD
Emperor Ruzi ruled Western China (7-9 )
If the Gospel according to Luke is believed then Joshua the Messiah alias Jesus of Nazareth (6 B.C.-26 to 36) at age 12 taught in the temple of Jerusalem for three days. The Sadducee Judaism Sect controlled the temple and they believed when the body dies, the soul also dies. They also believe there is no such thing as fate. The Essene Messianic Sect believes in the immortality of the soul and that fate governs all things. The Sadducee say there is neither resurrection, nor angel nor spirit but the Pharisees accept all three. The Essene is not allowed in the temple so their belief is not relevant at this time. The Pharisee Sect holds a middle position between the two extremes. The Judaism Pharisee believes that it is not lawful to set down directly (write) the word of God therefore the Messianic Essenes is not generally accepted in the temple.
At this time the Judaea tradition is split into four major Sects, the Messianic Essene, the Pharisee, the Sadducee and the Galilean alias Sicarii (Zealot). Many other minor Judaism sects or sub sects are also evident. The Zealots are also sub-divided into unrelated sects some times referred to as bandits or False Prophets. The Masada Zealots as an example are barbarous and considered the most violent.
The Galilean Judaism Sect at this time preached a nationalistic antagonism to foreigners and mixed blood peoples especially the Arabs. These Galilean are a militant sect with roots that go back to the Maccabean period of the second and first century B.C. The Galilean is also called the Fourth Philosophy during the uprising of 4 B.C. to 7 A.D. They are against what they consider the Herodian Sadducee Sect and split this sect into the Opposition Sadducee. Sadduk is the leader of the (Zealot) Opposition Sect. Some contend Judas the Galilean noted in the Biblical Acts is the founder of the Zealot movement. The Zealot movement likely dates to the Herod period (40-4 B.C.) It could be argued that fanaticism (Zealots) is a cultural trait of the Hebrew originating in ancient times. The Messianic Essene Sect considered the House of Levi as being righteous and inheritors of the priesthood and issued warnings of violent foreigners (Harridan) taking their heritage. The priesthood is considered the Council of the Community, the Inner Sanctum or Holy of Holiest. This challenge effectively set the stage for a Nationalistic (Zealots) and Liberal (Herodian) split among the Judaism Religious Community and the later Messianic Sect split. Some suggest the messianic schism began about 4 A.D.

During the reign of Coponius (6-9), the Samaritans are excluded from the temple because they threw about dead men's bodies in the cloisters.
9
Emperor Wang Mang ruled Western China (9-23) China's acting emperor Wang Mang ascends the throne himself January 10 and proclaims the Xin (Hsin) dynasty. He has easily subdued his opponents and prepared the way for his usurpation by spreading stories to the effect that the Han dynasty ruled for the time that was intended for it and that Heaven has granted him the mandate for a new dynasty.
Three Roman legions are annihilated by the German Arminius in the battle of Teutoberg Forest. Gaius Augustus Octavian Caesar (43 B.C.-14 A.D.) called off the offensive against the Marcomanni people north of Italy and the Rhine and Danube Rivers marked the northern boundary of the Roman Empire in Europe. The Belgae people who had previously driven from France by the Romans are still free in England. Other un-conquered people in relationship to the Marcomanni people are to the east the Quadi, northwest the Slavs, north the Burgundians and the Sennones and to the west the Hermanduri peoples. The Finns occupied most of northern Russia, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. The Balts are north of the Slavs and the Teutons occupy southern Denmark and Sweden and northern Germany.
Marcus Ambivious (9-12) is appointed Prefect of Judaea and Sumeris.
10
Saul (Saulus) of Tarsus (10-67) also called Paul, is born a Roman citizen at Tarsus (Turkey) in the Roman Province of Cilicia. Paul would later claim to be of the tribe of Benjamin therefore a Semite. He also has a Greek cultural tradition having been raised at Tarsus. Saul of Tarsus is also educated in Jerusalem in the rigid religious doctrine of the Pharisees Judaism Sect. Some suggest Saul is born about 5 A.D. It is noteworthy that Tarsus has been occupied for some two thousand years when Saul is born. Others suggest that Saul is a convert to the Judaism tradition. Paul alias Saulus some say played a key role in the events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem. His brother is Costobarus and is associated with Antipas a Herodian Temple Treasurer in the 40's. James (first Papa of Jerusalem) the Just is attacked and injured in the 40's by Paul but escaped with his followers to Jericho. This is likely confusion with James the son of Zebedee who was attacked in the early 40's. Others suggest that Paul had much less theological or historical importance in the first century and only became important in the sixteenth century. It is noteworthy the Paul will create the Roman Christian Cult (Paulist Cult) and does not follow the Christian Judaism Sect beliefs. Joseaphus the historian who died about 100 A.D. mentions the Jesus Jews, the Jesus Greeks but makes no mention of the Paulist Christians. Josephus spent time in Rome writing his history so surely he would make mention.
12
Annius Rufus (12-15) is appointed Prefect of Judaea.
14
Gaius Augustus Octavian Caesar (43 B.C.-14 A.D.) reduced the number of Roman legions from 70 to 27-28 (300,000 men) by the time of his death this year. Tiberious Claudius Nero (14-37) son Julia is Caesar of the Roman Empire. He is said to have a rigid morality and his reign is plagued with internal revolts.
Herod Antipas I (4 B.C. - 39), son Herod the Great and the Samaritan Malthace, Antipas being the tetrarch of Galilee and Peresa, resided in his city of Sepphoris, that he restored after the devastation of the rebellion at the death of his father Herod the Great. After the death of Augustus this year during the reign of Tiberius the Emperor, Herod began to build a new capital on the Western shore of the Sea of Galilee that he called Tiberias. These cities only twenty miles apart would put serious economic strain on Lower Galilee agriculture.
15
Valerius Gratus (15-26) is appointed Prefect of Judaea. Ismael son Fabus is the High Priest of Jerusalem.
16
(11)-Eleazar (16-17) of the House of Annas of the Sadducee Sect is appointed the High Priest of Jerusalem. Nationalistic (Zealot) Hebrews at this time consider the House of Annas (Anas) as being in League with the Romans.
17
Germanicus son Emperor Tiberius (b-42 B.C.) brother Drusus is sent by Rome to install a King in Armenia and toured Syria to Egypt (17-19) conducting himself in a high-handed manner. He is believed poisoned by the legate Piso of Syria. Pisco suicides shortly after being accused of the murder. Simon son Camithus is the High Priest of Jerusalem.
18
(13)-Joseph Caiaphas (18-36) son in law of High Priest (9)-Annas (Anas) or Ananus I (6-15) of the Sadducee Judaism Sect is appointed High Priest of Jerusalem. The later Gnostic Christian Cult (Religion of knowledge or insight) attributes the first Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ to Joseph Caiaphas (18-36) the High Priest of Jerusalem. This alleged Gospel has an Egyptian spin in its story and attributes many miracles to Lady Saint Mary and her infant son Jesus. This Gospel is obviously based on other sources to hang a litany of fabricated miracles attributed to Lady Saint Mary mother of Jesus. Caiaphas could not write it. It is noteworthy that the Gnostic Christian Judaism Cults followed the migration of the other Christian Judaism sects into Syria, Palestine, Egypt and Asia Minor.
Herod Antipas I (4 B.C. - 39), son Herod the Great and the Samaritan Malthace, Antipas being the tetrarch of Galilee and Peresa completed his capital city of Tiberias, Galilee. The peasants considered the new settlers a promiscuous rabble. Herod built them houses and new gifts of land likely at the expense of the local people.
20
Rome conquered the Armenia Empire and saw that the Parthian Empire (Iraq & Iran) had no power to sustain an offensive but Rome chose to consolidate power rather than invade.
22
'The Lost Years of Jesus' (about 6 B.C.- 24 A.D.) are shrouded in mystery leading to five hypothesis.
1. Jesus is the Wandering Prophet of Persia and India called Essa (Essene).
2. Jesus visited England with his rich Great Uncle Joseph of Arimathaea.
3. Jesus is the Teacher of Rightness among the Essene.
4. Jesus is a member of the Zealot movement possibly among the Essene.
5. Jesus spent a quiet existence at Nazareth in Judia.
1. The Wandering Prophet of Persia and India called Essa (Essene Judaism) is recorded as being in a Buddha' Temple in the Himalayas during this period. Buddha' (560-483) is alleged to have performed miracles by curing the sick, walking on water and feeding the multitude by multiplication of fish and bread. Followers of this hypothesis point to Buddhism beliefs of love they neighbor, truth, frugality and simplicity of life, service of the poor and down trodden and non-violence. Isha means Jesus may have visited. Buddhaism has a lot of similarity to Christianity.
2. Joseph of Arimathaea a secret disciple and alleged Great Uncle of Jesus took his nephew on his tin trading mission to Druid England. The Druids believed in a future messiah and a body and soul concept. Joseph of Arimathaea in 63 A.D. is also associated with the sacred cup of the Last Supper called the Holy Grail. Joseph is the Rich man who buried Jesus.
3. The Teacher of Rightness of the Essenes Judaism is believed by some to be the Jesus of the New Testament. John the Baptist of the Dead Sea Region is most likely an Essene Judaism who also practiced a form of Baptism. The Essene Judaism held a messianic belief, practiced austerity, sharing, love of one another, a strict adherence to the laws of God and had a ritual of blessing the bread and wine at meal times.
4. Some (especially those of the Judaism sect) believe that Jesus is a member of the Zealot movement as crucifixion is the penalty only used for subversion against Rome. Matthew 10-34 " Do not suppose that I come to bring peace to the earth; it is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword. It is also noted that the Jesus' followers are armed in that one drew his sword and cut off the ear of the high priests servant. These people believe all references of a revolutionary nature are deleted from the Gospels to ensure their survival under Roman rule. Some believe he is a Zealot Essene Judaism as the War Scrolls of the Dead Sea express a belief that the Messiah is a military leader and will lead the people on the final apocalyptic war. It is also noteworthy that the sacred cup used in the Last Supper is a symbol of the revolutionaries against Roman rule.
5. Traditionalist believe Jesus spent the lost years in Nazareth of Galilee that is noted for Zealots and Essene yet lived a quiet existence likely as a carpenter.
It is noteworthy that 50 Gospels are written over the next 200 years (only 4 are accepted by the Roman Catholic Church) about the life of Jesus but few shed much light on the lost years. Its also noteworthy that the oldest fragment of any gospel is John and it dates to 125 A.D. Its highly unlikely that any of the Gospels, Epistles or Testaments is written this century.
The sequence of writing of the Gospels is:
1 Gospel according to John Tradition maintains that John is the son of Zebedee and brother of James. They were known as the 'sons of thunder' (Boanerges). Tradition suggests John went to Asia Minor and settled at Ephesus, that he was exiled to the island of Patmos under Domitian persecution, where he wrote the Apocalypse. He later returned to Ephesus and in old age wrote his Gospel. Scholars maintain that three different hands write the Gospel, Apocalypse and letters. John is dependent on the Essene documents of Qumran and aligns more closely with the Jewish tradition of Jesus. This Gospel dates before 150 AD
2 Gospel according to Mark. Mark was not one of the recorded disciples of Jesus. Mark's Greek is rough, strongly Aramaic and often faulty. Some contend this is John Mark a cousin of Barnabas a follower of Paul until they quarreled. This however is not supported by earliest traditions. Later traditions hold that this is the Mark who preached in Egypt and was martyred in Alexandria at the time of Nero.
3 Gospel according to Matthew. An eyewitness to the life of Jesus could not have written these five books. Matthew is highly dependent on the Mark's Gospel, written in Greek as opposed to Matthew's own language, Aramaic. Evidence points to the Gospel being written at a date too late to be the work of a disciple.
4 Gospel according to Luke. Luke was not one of the recorded disciples of Jesus. It is believed that Luke is also the author of the "Acts of the Apostles" since both have the same literary style. Some believe Luke is a traveling companion of Paul as far as Rome. Later tradition maintains that Luke was a native of Antioch. Luke obviously had access to Matthew and Mark during his crafting of his work, omitting things he considered derogatory and to put other things more theologically aligned with his beliefs and values. It is strongly suggested that Luke had access to some of John or to some of John's sources.
24
A Judah Sect who called themselves the 'Community of the New Covenant' (Essenes Judaism) are also likely the sect of John (7 BC-29 AD) the Baptist from the wilderness (Dead Sea Region). John the Baptist of Judaea is the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth a cousin of Mary mother of Jesus and is considered a good man. Zechariah is a priest in the Temple of Jerusalem. John commanded the Judaism Sects to exercise virtue, both as to righteousness towards one another, and piety towards God, and so to come to baptism; for that the washing with water would be acceptable to God, if they made use of it, not in order to the putting away of some sins but for the purification of the body: supposing still that the soul was thoroughly purified beforehand by righteousness. "The Essene Judaism are a solitary people, extraordinary beyond all others, who live without women and without money, having only the palm trees for company" so wrote the Romans in the first century. The Messianic Essene Judaism practiced baptism, shared their wealth and is governed by a council of twelve. They are the first Middle East people known to have a monastic tradition. The Messianic Essenes Judaism are located on the north west shore of the Dead Sea. It is noteworthy that the Messianic Essene Judaism make reference to the 'Children of the light' an expression that is attributed to Joshua alias Jesus Christ
(6 B.C.-26 to 36) LK:16:8, JN:12:36, EPH:5:8 and 1THES:5:5. Some of the Essene Judaism sect communities aspired to moral purity. They believed that women couldn’t be faithful to one man. These people renounced marriage altogether. They adopted male children into their community. Other communities of Essene Judaism Sects advocated marriage but only for procreation. It is noteworthy that the future Roman Paulist Cult adopted this belief. The city dwellers of the Essene Judaism Sect are called the Polistoe vs. those who live in the wilderness but all embraces the same beliefs and don't offer sacrifice in the temple. They believe their sacrifice is more pure. This applies that temple worship is impure at this time. The Essene Judaism sect is expelled from the common Court of the Jerusalem Temple.
It is noteworthy that the New Testament never used the word Christ meaning 'the anointed one' but rather they used the word Messiah. Christ is an ancient Egyptian belief that one of the dead at judgment time would be chosen the Christ to lead the people to salvation. It is likely the early Roman Church dropped Messiah so as not to be aligned with the Orthodox Judah Sects (Rabbinical Judaism) and selected Christ to align with the Egyptian traditions.
