Did you know that a Jo is a Scottish term for Sweetheart. So where am I going with this? Well this morning, I started to write something about Jo seph of Arimathea.
In the process of doing a bit of mythology research, I found some interesting information about the Blarney Stone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blarney_Stone
You see, I was thinking about the Legend of the mythical story of Joseph of Arimathea and Mary Magdalene. I was thinking Mary was Cephas’ sweetheart. Cephas, is the Greek rendering of the Aramaic word for Rock. Cephas is pronounced sea fuss. The English name for Cephas is Peter. So some of you may have a hunch where I’m going with this. Remember how Jesus said to Peter…on this rock I’ll build my church. Jesus had just renamed Simon bar Jonah (the child of the legendary person swallowed by the sea monster, the MEGA FISH), Petros. Yet the rock on which Jesus builds the church is female…it’s petra. (See Matthew 16:17-19 the Zondervan’s Parallel New Testament in Greek and English).
Jesus gives Cephas the keys to the kingdom of heaven in verse 19, saying whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven!!!
And then in verse 23…Jesus calls Cephas Satan…a Blarney Stone!
The Vesica Piscis is a great Fish and a key element, a miraculous sign! http://www.crystalinks.com/vesicapiscis.html The disciples ask Jesus for a miraculous sign, a sign from heaven at the start of the chapter. Jesus replies. “A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”
And then…when someone truly listening and fully aware, recognizes Jesus as the Christ…Jesus calls that person Simon bar Jonah and then says…to that person….I will call you Peter…and on this petra…rock…the Vesica Piscis..I will build my church. Or In other words in Magdala, the city or the heart of the Mega Fish, I will build my church.
So I say to my readers. Listen if you have ears! And don’t be fooled by the Blarney Stone and the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Cephas is a smooth one! Don’t be fooled by patriarchal language. It is blarney. And don’t be fooled by the patriarchal yeast of the Adulterous “good” Teacher who looks at “her” and loves “her” and lusts after all she possesses. The stone the builders reject is Cephas’ Jo. She is the Sweetheart of the Gospel. She is the one who loves much and she is the big fish that Peter catches and scoops up into his arms. She possesses the body of Jesus that Joseph of Arimathea craves (Mark 15:43 American King James Version).
