Joseph of Arimathea Archives ⋆ The Firmament Record

035 The End is in the Beginning 2

May 5, 2024 / By The Firm / The Firm PodCast

The Gospel of Thomas :18 “The disciples said to Jesus, “Tell us how the end will be.”
Jesus said, “Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning, he will know the end and will not experience death (or be deceived by the dead).”

In this series of PodCasts we will be exploring this deeply enigmatic statement of Jesus. What does it mean that the end is in the beginning? How do you take your place in the beginning? How do scenarios in the beginning relate to the end times?

Ever wonder where the 6000 year Biblical timeline comes from and why it doesn’t fit with the fossil record? Who are those of the fifth seal? Did you know that the story of Cain and Abel shadow Jesus being murdered by his brethren? How does Noah and the flood relate to the end times? Did you know that Joseph was a shadow of Jesus?

In this podcast you will find the answers to these questions and many more.

00:00 Introduction
01:58 God’s Timeline and the Fifth Seal
25:48 Cain and Abel 2
51:06 Noah and the Flood
1:20:46 Joseph as a Shadow of Jesus

Elijah, Where are You?

The Legend of Elijah

The Jewish people have a custom to leave a vacant seat and a place set at the Passover table for the Prophet Elijah. With the sound of a knock, the children run to the door and say, “Elijah, is that you?” When he comes, they expect him to be a herald of the coming of the Messiah, to resolve all unanswered questions concerning the Law of Moses, and to deliver God’s people into that Land promised by God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and to their offspring. This includes all twelve tribes of the House of Israel.

The Arthurian Legend

Similarly, in the Arthurian Legend of the Round Table, there is an empty seat awaiting the rightful king, being the Messiah, the Branch of David, aka King Arthur. He, in pulling the sword from the stone, will thus become the High King over all the House of Israel (Gen 49:8-10). This legend is tied to the story of the Holy Grail, the Last Supper and Joseph of Arimathea, who founded Glastonbury in Britain after the death of Christ.
But how are two Legends tied together?
