By way of previous articles, we have established that a historical Yahoshua the Nazarene would have been a natural human being, born and raised within the religious framework of the Hebrews to be a Rabbi among the Nazarenes.
This is the same person whom Christians claim as the founder of their religion. They then changed and perverted his name to“Iesous” (“Jesus” in English) whose European image was allegedly first done as a “Last Supper” painting by Leonard Da Vinci in the 15th century. The letter “J” was not invented until 16th century.
His Hebrew name was “Yahoshua” (Strong’s Concordance #H3091) formed through a combination of YHVH, and “yasha” (Strong’s Concordance #H3467) which means “saves” to render “Yahoshua” as “YHVH saves.”
The cultural and intellectual capital of Greeks under the political and military power of Romans outrageously changed “Yahoshua” to Greek “Iesous” associated with the chief solar deity, “Zeus.” — Strong’s Concordance #G2424.
A word, number or a name is a signpost! Following the direction of a signpost, one arrives at the signposted place. A signpost is like a symbol, which is “an outwardly noticeable thing, which in itself, however, is only an image — not an unreal image, but one behind which stands a real thing or event.”
What is the key around the noun “Christian”? Let us see if there is some meaning elaborately concealed in the word, “Christos” (Strong’s Concordance #G5547).
The word “Christ” is an English word derived from the Greek word, ‘Christos,’Latin ‘Christus’ and in Old English ‘Crist.’
The Greek word “Christos” is said to have been derived from ancient Egypt ‘KRST’ (the “K” is aspirated like “Ch”).
In ancient Egypt, for the dead, “KRST” was the immortalisation condition through mummification first achieved by the mythical Asar (Osiris in Greek). Thus, the mythical Asar is said to have been the first of being a “Karest”, followed by his mythical son, Heru (Horus in Greek).
In ancient Egypt, “Karest” or “Karust” was a dead body bound in a seamless robe (“Ketu”) and perfectly preserved by mummification using various ointments for immortality.
“To ‘kares’ means to embalm, anoint, to make the mummy as a type of the eternal; and, when made, it was called the ‘Karest’; so that this is not merely a matter of name for name, the Karest for the Christ.” — Gerald Massey, “Ancient Egypt the Light of the World.”
Ancient Egyptian mummification was the process involving the drying and preservation of a dead body. The process was done by embalmers who themselves were priests. This process was seen as allowing the spirit or breath of life to continue to have a body after death.
A mummified body was called a “KRST”. On the breasts of these mummies by the position of the heart was the “Ankh,” the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph for life. This represented immortality of the cosmic force or energy carried within the human body.
For the living, “KRST” was a title for the highest stage of human development, a crown of achievement when any human being has discovered the in-dwelling divinity around grand or cosmic powers of reason, discernment and causation; and then externally actualises such divinity.
Thus, “Christos” was not and is not a person’s name but a title of the highest achievement so that one is fully aware and conscious of the in-dwelling divinity. It is a description of a condition or state of mind or achievement.
In Hebrew Scriptures, human beings are individual bearers and vehicular expressions of the Divine (Genesis 1:27; 2:7). Being a child and creation of the Divine is not a condition meant for only one person. All of us should reconnect with the Divine individualised in each of us.
“KRST” or “Karest” later became “Krishna” as an adoption by the Indus civilisation of India because ancient Egypt was an older civilisation.
In Sanskrit, “Kri” is the first syllable in the name of Krishna, meaning “to pour out, or rub over, to cover with”. This leads one as easily to make of Krishna (Chrishna), “the Anointed One”.
The meaning of Krishna’s name is also derived from Krish, “black”. — “The Esoteric Character of the Gospels”, Part 2.
“Christos” is a verbal adjective in Greek of “chrio”, which means “to be rubbed on” in respect of an ointment or salve.
The word “Christos” was finally brought to mean “the Anointed One,” in Christian theology.
The word “anoint” in Greek is “chrisma” (Strong’s Concordance #G5545) and as a verb, it means to smear, spread or apply oil gently on the head that is “mashach” (Strong’s Concordance #H4886).
In Christianity, Rabbi Yahoshua the Nazarene is referred to as the English word, “Messiah”. In Hebrew, the word “Mashiach” (Strong’s Concordance #H4899) or Christos (Greek, Concordance #G5547), means “anointed or consecrated person” as for all Hebraic kings and priests.
Anointing was a process only done using oil (“Arise, anoint him…” 1 Samuel 16:12). The oldest reference in Hebrew Scriptures of such anointing was of Aaron and his sons (Exodus 28:41).
Sanskrit and Greek root words are contained in the names of Chrestos, Christos, and Chrishna.
This means that they are all of the same origin, ancient Egyptian.
Yahoshua the Nazarene was born and fully raised as a Hebrew and spoke Aramaic while “Christ” is Greek and unrelated.
The word “Chreistos” was used centuries before Yahoshua by the Greek Homer, Herodotus and Aeschylus in the 5th century BCE.
Homer used the word “Christos” to refer to rubbing one’s body with oil after bathing (Iliad 23, 186; also in Odyssey, IV, 252).
“Christos” (Christ) is a title not the surname of “Iesous” (Jesus)! Literally, it is a Greek term for “the anointed” and esoterically, a “Christian” is one who is in a state of consciousness about the divine aspect within every human being.
