IN the levels of truth, “miraculous” conception was an occurrence to be known by few people. “Miracle” was “meipo” in Greek and it meant, “a wonder, something remarkable, but not a violation of natural law”.
The Christian Gospels say Yahoshua’s mother fell pregnant through the “Holy Spirit”. Both Miryam and her husband Yosef were Nazerene Hebrews.
They were unfamiliar with the term “Holy Spirit” as used in Greek Scriptures. Judaically, they did not believe in a separate or independent actualisation of YHVH referred to as the “Holy Spirit”.
According to Rabbi Azriel Schreiber, the Judaic religious perspective does not accept a separate Hellenic “Holy Spirit” because the YHVH’s presence or Breath (Spirit) is Holy.
Therefore, it can be noticed that the concept of “Holy Spirit” was neither a discovery nor a revelation to Miryam and Yosef but an invention of the Greeks (Hellenics) 400 years later.
Greek
The Greek chief deity of the sky, Zeus, is said have impregnated the mortal Kallisto after he had disguised himself as Apollo in order to lure her into his embrace. She gave birth to Arcas.
Kallisto was a daughter of the Arkadian King Lykaon and her name is derived from kalliste, meaning “most beautiful”.
Through a bolt of lightning, Zeus is said to have impregnated a mortal, Semele/Persephone, who gave birth to Dionysus, the Greek deity of wine, wine-making, pleasure and fertility.
Persian
According to Persian traditions, Mithras was incarnated into the human form of the Saviour, the mythical son of Zoroaster. Mithras was born of Anahita, an immaculate virgin mother given the title “Mother of the Divine” and once worshipped as a fertility cosmic power.
Anahita was said to have conceived Mithras from the seed of Zoroaster preserved in the waters of Lake Hamun in the Persian province of Sistan.
The Gospel of Matthew records that the mythical “IesousChristos” (translated as “Jesus Christ”) was visited by an unknown three wise men from the east called the Magi (named “Mahaji” in Sanskrit).
These are the followers of Mithras from Persia and they were Zoroastrian priestly experts in astrology from ancient Persia.
Hindu
The mythical Krishna was born of Princess Devaki, after a voice from the sky announced to the girl, “In thy delivery O favoured among women, all nations shall have cause to rejoice.”
Krishna was born of a married woman Devaki who was considered to have had a miraculous conception. “You have been born of the divine Devaki and Vasudeva for the protection of Brahma on earth.” – Mahabharata Epic book 12, Section 48.
He was miraculously placed in the womb of Devaki as a “full descent” of the great deity Vishnu to rid the earth of evil.
His foster father was Nanda and is said to have lived about 1 200 BCE. He is seen as a divine sage identical in power and wisdom to Vishnu.
The basic source of Krishna’s mythology is a part of Mahabharata Epic and is called Bhagavata Gita (Song of the Blessed One), written between 400 BCE and 200 CE.
Krishnite theology has its point of reference when the Divine takes human form for the purposes of defending the underlying moral order in the universe.
Buddhist
Siddhatha Gautama’s incarnation was said to have been accomplished by the descent of Vishnu into the womb of Maya.
“The most Excellent of all Bodhisattvas fell directly from his place among the residents of Tushita heaven, and streaking through the three worlds, suddenly took the form of a huge six-tusked elephant as white as Himalaya, and entered Maya’s womb.” (Buddha Karita 1:18.)
The foster father, King Suddhodana, was informed by a white elephant that a mighty teacher of men would be born miraculously in the womb of his wife, Mâyâ-Devi, the Queen of Heaven. “By the consent of the king,” says the “LalitaVistara,” “the queen was permitted to lead the life of a virgin…”
The womb in which a Buddha-Elect was reposed was like the sanctuary of a temple. On that account, the womb of Maya-Devi was sacred.
Ancient Egyptian
Isis (Hathor-Meri or Aset) was Heru or Horus’ mother and a widow of Asar. Isis practiced magic to raise Asar from the dead so she can bear a son that would avenge his death.
Isis then becomes pregnant from the potency waters of her deceased husband.
“(Isis) made to rise up the helpless member (male organ) of him whose heart was at rest, she drew from him his essence (potency waters), and she made there from an heir(Heru).”
Conclusion
If there was any first century historical Yahoshua the Nazarene, was he miraculously conceived? The miraculous conception was an adoption from the above early civilisations for the fourth century mythical Greek “Iesous the Christos” (English “Jesus the Christ”).
Next we discover the truth found outside the conventional texts.
