JESUS\u201318 MISSING YEARS<\/span><\/p>\n

After Jesus\u2019 birth and circumcision at eight days old the next we hear about him was when he was twelve \u2013for the first eleven\/ twelve years there is no account of the Christian\u2019s son of God and \u201cGod.\u201d<\/span>The next time we hear about Jesus was when he was about thirty years old, baptizing at the River Jordan\u2013(Luke 3:23. Jesus\u2019 mission is said to have lasted for some three years, at the age of thirty-three).<\/span> So, for some twenty-nine years the Gospels have no record of the Christian\u2019s \u201cGod\u201d and son of God. <\/span><\/p>\n

(Remarkable! And shockingly scandalous! That no details about the maturing son of God and even \u201cGod\u201d was kept; and even after all the fanfare of singing angels and guiding star and wise men1<\/span><\/sup> traveling some five hundred miles in winter weather and with treasures for this \u201cKing of kings, and Lord of lords\u201d\u2013Rev. 17:14; 19:16). <\/span><\/p>\n

During this time, as Luke says (Luke 2:42, 40, 52), Jesus \u201cwaxed strong in spirit\u201d and \u201cJesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.\u201d (\u201cGod\u201d and son of God need to \u201cwax\u201d strong in spirit and to \u201cincrease in wisdom\u201d? If Jesus is God how can he find \u201cfavour with God\u201d?).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>But did Jesus \u201cwaxed strong\u201d in Palestine\/Nazareth in his father\u2019s carpenter-shop or someplace else? Putting aside Jesus\u2019 presence at the temple at age twelve, this would leave us with some seventeen years of which the Gospels gave no account. To understand where Jesus was these years, Jesus\u2019 mission needs to be kept in perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 In contrast to Christian\u2019s belief and teaching that Jesus was GOD<\/a>\/TRINITY<\/a>; SON OF GOD<\/a> <\/span>and vicarious atoner for INHERITED SIN <\/a><\/span>Jesus made it clear that the object of his mission was wholly and solely ONLY FOR JEWS<\/a><\/span>:
\n\u201cI am not sent but unto the <\/span>LOST<\/span> sheep of the <\/span>HOUSE OF ISRAEL<\/span>;\u201d
\n\u201cFor the son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost\u201d\u2013(Matt. 15:24; Luke 19:10; Matt. 18:11).
\n<\/span>And he emphasized this point by commanding his twelve disciples to
\n\u201cGo <\/span>NOT<\/span> into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye <\/span>NOT<\/span>: But go rather to the lost sheep of the <\/span>HOUSE OF ISRAEL<\/span>\u201d\u2013(Matt. 10:6),
\n<\/span>because these non-Jews were like \u201cdogs\u2019 and \u201cswine\u201d undeserving of the \u201cbread\u201d from God meant only for the \u201clost sheep of the House of Israel\u201d:
\n\u201cIt is not meet to take the children\u2019s bread and to cast it to dogs;\u201d \u201cGive <\/span>NOT<\/span> that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine\u201d\u2013(Matt. 15:26; 7:6). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>That Jesus\u2019 mission was uncompromisingly Israelite is further cemented in his preaching in parables so the non-Jew \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cswine\u201d would not understand and be saved. After relating the parable of the sower to the people Jesus said to them: \u201cHe that hath ears to hear, let him hear;\u201d<\/span> and, afterwards, when he (Jesus) was alone with the Israelites they asked him about the meaning of the parable:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he said unto them, Unto you (who have God) it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them (non-Jews) that are without (God), all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive;<\/span> and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them\u201d<\/span>\u2013(Mark 4:9-12).<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The Good News<\/i> Bible is even clearer on this statement of Jesus: \u201cYou have been given the secret of the Kingdom of God,\u201d Jesus answered. \u201cBut the others, who are on the outside, hear all things by means of parables, so that, \u2018They may look and look, yet not see; they may listen and listen, yet not understand. For if they did, they would turn to God, and he would forgive them.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>Jesus\u2019 own declarations show that he was only a national Jewish prophet, to preach to them.That after the make-believe crucifixion and resurrection Jesus said to preach the Gospels to all nations, these verses of Matthew and Mark are shown to be \u201cforgeries\u201d in the <\/span>BIBLE<\/a><\/span>.<\/span>3<\/span> <\/sup><\/span><\/span>Whereas <\/span>PAUL<\/a><\/span> (who introduced the pagan doctrine of <\/span>SON OF GOD<\/a><\/span> into the religion of Christ)4<\/span><\/sup> and Peter violated Jesus\u2019 instructions and preached to non-Jews, others held true to Jesus\u2019 command: \u201cNow they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to <\/span><\/span>NONE<\/span><\/span> but unto the <\/span><\/span>JEWS ONLY<\/span><\/span>\u201d\u2013(Acts 11:19). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Jesus clearly spoke about the Israelites as being \u201clost,\u201d as \u201cthe lost sheep of the House of Israel\u201d and as \u201cthe children of God that were scattered abroad<\/span>\u201d whom he had to \u201cseek and save\u201d\u2013(Matt. 18:11; 15:24; John 11:52; Luke 19:10). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 But where were these \u201clost\u201d sheep that Jesus had to \u201cseek and save?\u201d Where was Jesus for the eighteen years of which the Gospels have no account?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Khwaja Nazir Ahmad in his revealing book Jesus in Heaven on Earth,<\/i>5<\/span><\/sup> (noting materials from the Old Testament and history) has detailed that the Israelites, after their destructions in their pre-Jesus history, had not all returned to their \u201cown land.\u201d
\nWhereas only Two of the Twelve Tribes of Israel were present in Palestine at Jesus\u2019 arrival the remaining Ten Tribes \u2013referred to as the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel\u2013<\/span> were in many parts of Asia, including Afghanistan and Kashmir. (Khwaja notes facts recorded by different travelers regarding the dispersed Israelites, and concludes about the Afghans):
\n\u201cIt is obvious, therefore, that tradition, history, written records, both ancient and modern, point to the one conclusion that the Afghans are the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.\u201d<\/span>(p. 293\/347).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Khwaja also gave extensive details about the Kashmiris, one of which was that \u201cCertain archaeological discoveries conclusively prove that Afghans and Kashmiris are the descendants of Israel of old.<\/span>\u201d(p. 329\/395).\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 As the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel were in Afghanistan and Kashmir, and as Jesus had to \u201cseek and save\u201d them then Jesus had to travel from Palestine to Afghanistan and Kashmir. To this, Khwaja notes the accounts of several travelers and a \u201cMap illustrating the route followed by Jesus in his first6<\/span><\/sup> journey to India\u201d\u2013from Jerusalem Jesus traveled to Damascus onto Nisibin, through Iran to Sindh, onto Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Jaggannath, Benaras, Nepal, Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iran, and back to Jerusalem.<\/span> Khwaja concludes:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cAccording to ancient Tibetan manuscripts, Jesus secretly withdrew from the home of Mary and Joseph at age thirteen. Young \u201cIssa\u201d joined a merchant caravan. Destination: India and the Himalayas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 At Juggernaut, \u201cthe white priests of Brahma made him a joyous welcome. They taught him to read and understand the Vedas, to cure by aid of prayer, to teach, to explain the holy scriptures to the people, and to drive out evil spirits from the bodies of men.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
