The Spear of Longinus

The prime mover in the assassination of Julius Caesar was married to a Brutus but I fancy he was less curious in restoring power to the Senate (and in some small way the citizen of Italy) than he was in his own power. The movie Spartacus does see it as I see it. His persona was played by Sir Laurence Olivier. Cassius, who is later called Longinus, dies at his own hand after a defeat in the homeland of Alexander at a city named after the father or other in the family of Alexander.

"The Spear of Destiny, also known as the Spear of Longinus and the Heilige Lance -- Holy Lance -- is one of the most foremost Christian relics of the Passion of Jesus Christ. As first described in John 19:31-37, the Spear was used by a Roman soldier (Gaius Cassius, later called Longinus) to pierce the side of Christ as he hung on the cross. The Spear, bathed in the blood of the Lamb and playing a principal role in the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, is believed to have acquired gargantuan mystical power. The first sign of that power was the purported medical of Gaius Cassius's failing eyesight by blood from the wound.

The centurion later become an early convert to Christianity. The Spear subsequently passed straight through a multitude of hands, coming into the rights of many of Europe's most foremost political and soldiery leaders, including Constantine I, Alaric (the Visigoth king who sacked Rome in the year 410), Frankish normal Charles Martel, Charlemagne, Frederick of Barbarossa, and Frederick Ii. A leader who possessed the Spear was said to be invincible; Charlemagne and Frederick of Barbarossa were undefeated in battle until they let the Spear fall from their hands. A legend arose that whoever claimed the Spear 'holds the destiny of the world in his hands for good or evil.'

As a young man Adolf Hitler was fascinated by the Spear of Destiny, which he first saw displayed in the Hofsburg museum in Vienna, Austria in 1909. Hitler was familiar with the legend of the Holy Lance. His interest in the relic was further amplified by its role in the 1882 opera Parsifal -- by Hitler's favorite composer, Richard Wagner -- which implicated a group of ninth-century knights and their quest for the Holy Grail. Hitler's fascination with the Spear was pivotal in sparking his interest in the occult, which gave birth to his ideas on the origins and purpose of the Germanic race and contributed to his reliance in his own destiny as a world conqueror.

all the time end up finding out they are not as the myths do tell us. History may soon have to sass to forensics, I hope.}

On October 12, 1938, not long after the German annexation of Austria, Hitler ordered the S.S. To seize the Spear and other artifacts from Vienna. They were taken by train to Nuremberg, where they were stored in St. Katherine's Church. The Spear remained in St. Katherine's until 1944, when it was moved to a specially constructed vault under the church, built in secret and at great expense, intended to protect it and the other stolen relics from Allied bombs. Nuremberg was captured by Allied soldiery in April of the following year. The vault was subsequently discovered by American Army officers. The Spear was confiscated by American soldiery on the afternoon of April 30, 1945, less than two hours before Hitler's suicide in his secret bunker in Berlin. Like the Spear's previous owners, Hitler perished after the relic was taken from him.

Like most holy relics, the history of the Spear of Destiny is complex and difficult to authenticate. The earliest reports of the Spear were circa 570 A.D., when it was said to have been on display in the basilica of Mount Sion in Jerusalem alongside the Crown of Thorns. The point of the spear's blade was apparently broken off following the Persian conquest of Jerusalem in 615 A.D. The point, set into an icon, found its way to the church of Saint Sophia in Constantinople and later to France, where it remained in the Sainte Chapelle until the 18th century. It was briefly moved to the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris during the French Revolution, but it subsequently disappeared. Meanwhile, the rest of the spearhead was transferred from Jerusalem to Constantinople sometime in the eighth century. It was taken by the Turks in the 14th century and sent by Sultan Bajazet as a gift to Pope Innocent Viii in 1492. Innocent ordered the relic settled in Saint Peter's in Rome, where it remains today, although the Catholic Church makes no great claim as to its authenticity.

There are several other contentious relics in different locations. One such "Holy Lance" was assertedly unearthed by Crusader Peter Bartholomew in Antioch in 1098. That Lance is now at Etschmiadzin in Armenia; scholars believe that it is not beyond doubt a Roman lance but the head of a standard, although it may have an spicy history of its own, cut off from the legend of the Lance. other claimant has rested in Krakow for about eight hundred years.

Hitler's lance was the fourth Spear, called the Lance of St. Maurice and the Holy Lance of Hapsburg, which is part of the Reichkleinodien (Imperial Regalia) of the house of Hapsburg. This spearhead is bound with gold, copper, and silver threads to a nail -- purported to be one of the nails of the Crucifixion. The earliest verifiable account of this Spear was its use in a coronation ceremony in 1273. It rested in Nuremberg during the Middle Ages, but by the early 20th century it was settled on display at the Treasure House of the Hofsburg museum in Vienna, where Hitler saw it in 1909.

This Spear has no greater claim to authenticity than any of the others, although Hitler -- who conducted his own less-than-rigorous investigation into its history -- was firmly convinced that it was the genuine article, foremost to its confiscation by the S.S. In 1938. In 1946 the Spear and the rest of the Imperial Regalia were returned to Austria. Today they are once again on communal display at the Hofsburg museum." (2)

The citizen mentioned as having had rights of the spear are all Merovingians (Family of Jesus) and they had built a ritual energy develop nearby the spear regardless of whether or not it is or ever was authentic. I cannot expect academicians to understand that and I am not going to address it in this book. I will have to do a book called The Jesus Conspiracy. I have explained these things in other books as far as the ritual acts of these Merovingians.

I wonder why this Spear is called the Spear of Longinus in so many places. Maybe I just missed something but if Joseph of Arimathaea is the Roman minister of Mines, (slavery) as well as a member of the Sanhedrin which was bought by Rome as was Herod, what is going on? When you know that Paul/Saul is a Roman from Tarshis and he was out stoning St. Stephen and he worked for the Sadducee Temple priests of the Sanhedrin you start to see things fall in place. Joseph takes the body of Jesus to his family crypt where Jesus had brought Lazarus back from the dead (or out of a near coma caused by drugs just as Jesus had been given when on the cross to appear dead. Joseph had to be connected to Jesus or Pilate (From Scotland maybe agreeing to current archaeological digs there.) could not have released the body to him despite the fact that Pilate would be from the area Joseph's tin mines had been central to an gargantuan money-making engine for his Benjaminite family. It is the Roman law that the body can only go to the family and that would include the father of Mary Magdalene/Bethany (same person - he owned homes in both cities plus in Egypt where Mary and Jesus had studied while growing up).

Do you think Gaius Cassius was unintelligent when he refused to do what other Senators wanted as he fought to defend Rome? Do you think he was in on the supposed death of Jesus or whatever beyond doubt happened there? There are many dots worth connecting here. I think there were suited citizen who wanted to build the kind of Empire that Rome shortly became. Their purpose or plan was an Empire with ever fewer numbers of actual participants in the decision-making. It continues long after the so-called fall of Rome. Cassius knew the Senate was a paper tiger or mere façade.
