He was wealthy enough to have had at least two residences: a country place in cool mountains around Magdala… and a 'town house' in capital, in wealthy Jerusalem suburb of Bethany… Is there any evidence to support such a speculation? Yes, there is. Joseph was 'of Arimathaea'. Where was that? According to Biblical authorities who composed 'Helps to Study of Bible' found as an appendix to standard Oxford Press edition of King James version, derivation of 'Arimathaea' is not known, but it was same place as 'Ramah'. 'Ramah' means a 'high place' and it is listed as one of fourteen cities with their villages' that was allotted to Tribe of Benjamin. Part of this passage has already been quoted (Joshua 18:21-28). Joseph of Arimathaea was, therefore, a Benjaminite... might 'Arimathaea' once have been 'Almathea' or 'Alimathaea'?

There was a sub-tribe of that name in ancient Palestine, or at least there was a group who called themselves 'sons' of a goddess variously named Alimathae, Almathae, Amalthea or Amathea. This generally means that a group counted their descent from some matriarch of name. It is known that some tribes of ancient Palestine did have a matrilinear succession.

{This is a good reason to say they weren't inclined toward patristic Abrahamic style of Chaldeans and more influenced by Keltic/Phoenician and earlier great and real force of Mediterranean that founded Egypt under guidance of a woman - Isis. I also think this was part of corporate trading monopolies and a way to ensure fewer blue bloods, because men can sow their wild oats among far more less than select or chosen people.}

At any rate, Robert Graves informs us that these people of Alimathea or Amalthea lived in neighborhood of Mount Tabor in Galilee. (9) The town of Ramah is on shoulders of Mount Tabor which, indeed, is a 'high place'. The towns of Magdala, Cana and Nazareth, and Mary Magdalene, from Magdala, came from same area on shoulders of Mount Tabor. The towns of Nazareth, Cana and Magdala are within ten miles of each other.

Interestingly enough, these Amaltheans seem to have been of Phoenician and 'proto-Celtic' stock. At least some of them joined long westward migration of Celtiberians and 'Celts' and ended up in Wales, Cornwall and Somerset.

Which is to say they ended up around Glastonbury. But they did this long before Joseph 'of Arimathaea' arrived. One could say, in fact, that some powerful Celtic families of Ancient Britain were Joseph of Arimathaea's long-lost relations." (10)

'Long-lost' would be incorrect. It was a common practice amongst Kelts to send their children to relatives in far away places. It solidified trading relationships, enhanced ecumenicism and brotherhood, reduced nepotism and early life blackmail against parents; is imitated in North American Indian traditions; and may include Jesus learning from and living in Cornwall area in early life. There are even stories of him having been in Mayan lands where Essenes have one of their few locations in world.

The issue of historicity and women's role in church is covered by Mary Rose D'Angelo in Vatican II. The position Jesus had towards women was favourable but his group were not politically un-initiated. If Catholic 'churchians' who usurped Jesus and his teachings were to admit he married and had a woman for an equal - MUCH OF THEIR DOGMA would have very 'weak and shifting sand' beneath it. But Merovingians and De Medici’s women were not made second class at all. They rule just like Iroquois matriarchs and Rose Kennedy.

Of course it took some time to re-create this new belief and infiltrate it with their own brand of manipulation. In addition this belief system was around a very long time before Jesus. Thus it was necessary to make Jesus become something he never claimed he was - 'the 'Chriost' or a true Divine Messiah. The Jews knew better and had to be blamed for 'Killing our Saviour'! This part of history should need no further discussion to prove its import and impact on our future. Jesus said 'We are ALL children of God'.

Benjamin was one of Twelve Tribes of Israel and was in some way special. It was also powerful. God was somehow in Tribe of Benjamin. In Deuteronomy 33, Moses says of Tribe of Benjamin: 'The beloved of Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and Lord shall cover him all day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.'...

{There is another author who notes a proximity of Cyprus to Almathea. This may be a Phoenician closeness as Cypriots of time were almost always Phoenician and it probably relates to one of cities of nearby Levant. Could it be Ashkelon or such a port city as we showed in 'Science' from National Geographic? At time of Joseph and Jesus Bradley makes a good point for them having influence on Mt. Tabor and cities now called Cana and Nazareth.}

But it came to pass that most of Benjaminites left Palestine, and this was because of a civil war among Israelites. The Tribe of Benjamin came into conflict with other eleven Tribes because Benjaminites were apparently allied with 'Sons of Belial' {The Keltic god 'Bel' which became Ba'al, and we know from many sources is Phoenician.} and would not attempt to impose Israelite laws and customs upon them. This war is covered in Judges 21 in Bible. The result was that most of Benjaminites left Palestine, or were expelled by victorious eleven Tribes.

{Did Hitler know this and make a differentiation? Did he think of himself as part Benjaminite and wanting to seek revenge? His birth name is Schicklgruber and anti-Semitic sentiment was politically expedient to his purposes, but he is acknowledged to be 1/16th Jewish. This is true even if he father was not a Rothschild illegitimate which he was according to The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report and other sources. The Rothschilds and Rockefellers are well aware of their Benjaminite roots, I suggest. But official biographies make no mention of these controversies, even though they admit Nathan Rothschild made and enormous fortune in league with British crown in Treasury trading on occasion of Battle of Waterloo, when their secret agents gave them insider information.}

The 'Sons of Belial' with whom Benjaminites were allied, or against whom they refused to go to war in order to enforce Israelite customs, were none other than Phoenicians of Tyre and Sidon, 'red-headed' ones who were 'proto-Celts'. It is possible that Benjaminites were related to these coastal people {We know Jesus was because Solomon's father-in-law was Hiram of Tyre, who plays an import- ant role in Masonic history or lore. We saw Jeze-BEL was too, from authors of 'Carthage'. We know father of Biblical Archaeology says Bible is Phoenician literary legacy we can thank them for. We are sure there was a cover-up!}. They certainly had some affinity with them, and refused to go to war against them.

At same time, Benjaminites had a very great holding in Palestine, a tract including major Israelite cities and Jerusalem. Then, mere fact that they were able to consider a war against all other Tribes must mean that Tribe called Benjaminites must have been single most powerful tribe in Israelite confederacy as well as being somehow 'different'.

The Old Testament has been doctored to reflect cohesion and greatness of Hebrews, just as New Testament has been doctored to distort certain embarrassing relationships.

{We have quoted lots of Rabbis and scholars who support this assertion.}

The Tribe of Benjamin, which had some special divine dispensation and significant geographical holdings, 'may not have been within Semitic mainstream at all'. {Or a different 'mainstream' than 'his'- story does recount.} They may have had closer genetic relationship to 'Sons of Belial' whom they refused to fight…” (7)
