"The account of the marriage of Jesus with Mary Magdalene lies very close to the surface of the gospel narratives. It is easy to sense the erotic element in the story of the woman with the alabaster flask of pure nard, who poured it over Jesus, so that the house was filled with the fragrance of ointment"^{Note 1}

"And the companion of the [Saviour was] Mary Magdalene. He loved her more than all the disciples [and used to] kiss her often on her [mouth]. The rest of the disciples [were offended and] said to him: "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Saviour answered and said to them " Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness"

Gospel of Philip

From the Gnostic Gospels

Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute but was described in Mark 16:9 and Luke 8:2 as a woman "out of whom went seven devils". This means that she was under the authority of 'Satan' like 'the widow'. Judas Iscariot was 'Demon 7' the name for him as a member of the zealot party. As the chief scribe, he had the position once held by Gabriel, which included authority over celibate women before and after marriage.

Her TITLE was Mary [Miriam] and this was NOT her name, this included the mother of Jesus. They took this title from the wife of Moses because they had been given a form a ministry, that of a prophetess, taking part in liturgies of orders like those of the Therapeutae. The Magdalene was also a title and came from the prophet Micah and is a corruption of the Jewish phrase Migdal-Eder - Watchtower of the Flock.

Micah 4:8
And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.

So why was Mary Magdalene Sainted?

She has been mentioned 10 times in the new testament. Mostly in the company of other women who haven't been sainted.

It is said that she was sainted because she was the first to witness the risen Christ.

QUESTION

Why is this important event in her life not featured anywhere in this Church at Rennes le Chateau dedicated to

SAINT Marie-Madeleine?

Why, if there is nothing to this story, did the Abbé Saunière, a Catholic priest, choose not to feature the very reason why Mary Magdalene has been sainted in any of the iconography of his church? Yet featured two instances of Mary of Bethany being intimate with Jesus?

*************************

Wedding at Cana

The story is related in John 2:1 -10

1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,

2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

4 "Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."

5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.^[a]

7Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."

They did so,

9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

11 This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

Prior to this Jesus collects together the TWELVE disciples.

First thing that strikes you is that we are not told whose wedding this is but not only have Jesus and the disciples been invited but also Mary mother of Jesus.

The second question is what spiritual significance does this have? Turning water into wine? The significance was that it was Jesus' first miracle?

The answer is that it is linked to Astrotheology

Firstly we must understand that when the Gospels were first written they would only have been written for trained eyes schooled with understanding. they were never envisaged for inclusion into a book written for everyone. All religious writing was done in the form of a reference to the scriptures. The meaning of the inclusion of this apparent 'party trick' is on another level of meaning called a 'Pesher'. Jesus is breaking with tradition for only celibates (this would have included Jesus at this point) could receive communion. In this apparent miracle he was allowing the 'unclean' persons (Gentiles) to receive communion.

But whose wedding was this? There is nothing sinister about us not being told because it would have been irrelevant to the Pesher and the assumption is clear to those with understanding. Mary mother of Jesus was part of the story and so was included in the text.

When Essene marriage rules are brought together it is clear that this was in fact ONE of the marriages of Jesus to Mary Magdalene at Cana (Ain Feshkha) conducted under Hellenist rules. Three marriages are required, the wedding at Cana is in fact merely a betrothal but is a little more than just an engagement. The phrase 'my time has not yet come' means that this was the feast that preceded the ceremony. We actually can make a very good guess of the date of this wedding, it is June 6th 30CE. It occurred in the evening on the same day that Jesus was in the corn fields with the disciples which is depicted in parchment one. We know this from a correlation between the four Gospels (Mark 2, Luke 6 and John 2) and a deep understanding of the strict rules surrounding Essene marriage from the Temple Scrolls worked out from the Sabbatical year.

The transcripts of the two Priory Of Sion parchments, Jesus in the corn fields and the anointment of the feet of Jesus by Mary Magdalene, signify a quite definite allusion to the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Clearly the authors of these two parchments knew something.

Let's look again at the small Dagobert parchment.

In the plain text of this parchment Jesus is accompanying the twelve disciples in the cornfields.

Luke 6

King James Version (KJV)

6 And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.

²And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

³And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;

⁴How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

It should be noted the the previous chapter refers to the Lake of Gennesaret

AD GENESARET is encoded into the text using the extraneous letters in the Shepherdess parchment

Here Jesus does the miracle of the fishes where he tells the fishermen, who haven't caught anything to cast their nets to the other side of the boat. In John 21 the figure of 153 is given.

Dynastic Marriage

Whether one likes it or not Jesus was King of the Jews.
- Matthew 2:2
  
  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
  
  ²Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
  
  ³When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
  
  Note: bêth lehem, means "house of bread" and is the Hebrew name for Virgo
- Matthew 27:11
  ¹¹And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
- Matthew 27:29²⁹And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
- Matthew 27:37³⁷And set up over his head his accusation written, This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.
- Mark 15:2²And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
- Mark 15:9⁹But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
- Mark 15:12¹²And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
- Mark 15:18¹⁸And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
- Mark 15:26²⁶And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The King Of The Jews.
- Luke 23:3³And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
- Luke 23:37³⁷And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
- Luke 23:38³⁸And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.

Assuming Jesus is the Sun

This is the marriage of the Sun to the Earth Mother.

The sun has to die on the cross every year and be reborn.

It is really no point in denying this neither is there any point in denying that a King of the Jews would be from the Davidic Bloodline and indeed this is depicted in the very first 17 verses of the New Testament.

As a Human King he would have to have been married in order continue the bloodline. Now the fact that no mention is made as to why this descendent of David wasn't married is quite frankly conspicuous by its absence. At the very least an explanation as to why Jesus, King of the Jews (INRI) chose not to marry would have been given.

The disciples also called Jesus Rabbi on five occasions. For a person living in first century Judea a Rabbi has to be married under Jewish law.

1 Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead

.2 There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.

3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,

5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.

8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.

10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;

11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed in Jesus.
