A person is born in the image of God by conversion.
The universe is the machine for energy sought in recursion
through the design of nature as it ought to be taught with immersion.

Is there a place for the fear of God in your heart? 
The Broken (Hittites) reasoned from the position as a start
for placing the horse before the cart.

The Father was living among those where human sacrifice was a custom.
He was tempted by adversity to sacrifice his laughter before the 5 year lustrum.

He was given a ram with his horns caught in a thicket
as the thing to offer for propitiation as the ticket.

His Princess died after many years by his side.
He asked for a place where in the future he could be laid by his bride. 

The Father of many said, 'I am a stranger in this strange land.
Will you allow me a place to bury my beloved dame?'

The most fruitful of the Broken said,
'You are a prince. You may bury the one whom you had wed.'  

Conserving resources preserves energy.
The management works continually.

The cultivation of production in time
works best when managed with respect for design.

The Latin form for Addition (Josephus) was opposed to sedition
after his attempt to attain that force in factual recognition.

Truthful testimony for the law of God as covenant
was the basis for social organization for government.

The court system was established to evaluate the claim of a charge.
Two witnesses were needed to warrant consideration for the public at large.

Republic or kingdom was not as significant in form
as the need for the enactment of conservative reform.

The line of succession has a perpetual benefit in fact.
The ownership of property is passed to the family with the will as contract.

When the body of the Savior was taken from the cross
it was laid to rest that our management of resources would gain from the loss.

The rule of law is for protection.
Crime is subject to correction.

Cruelty in punishment is not the cure.
Direction by correction works for sure.

Delight is shown with respect for others.
Joy is a reward that doesn't smother.

The perfect gift comes down from the Father of lights as a generous act.
The atonement gives birth by the word of truth to fulfill the purposeful tact
that we may become the fruit of the divine contractual tract.

Law that places profit from violence above people is flawed.
War or genocide is not to be held in awe.

Life rules the living.
Love favors giving.

Order by design is my proportion.
This table doesn't suffer from mass distortion.

Boundaries enclose pleasure
as a measured treasure.

Healthy happiness is a good heritage.
It works in and outside of marriage.

My heart reviews reaching for the teaching of truth.
This teaching is not reserved for the dismissal of youth.

Good counsel is blessed.
It helps you test for the best.

Don't support the rule of death.
It is more destructive than a missile laden jet. 

Justice with liberty is the goal of law.
Equity is that which the economy has to draw.

The goal before me
is built upon the accomplishment seen.

My heart rejoices. My spirit is glad.
My strength avoids that which is bad.

I have not been condemned by the grave.
The rule of death does not bless or save.

The path to life is being known
by the design that is shown.

Those that sleep will wake
to rise or fall with respect for that which is great.

Let us approach authority in the house of worship
with a true heart and a conscience cleansed to cure it.

There will be disasters in various places.
There will be recovery with respect for stages.

The elegance of power requires restraint for the driven.
Intuition regarding objects provides a frame for reality in existence.
The colors of dried sedge provide objects for subsistence.
Mats, baskets and hats are useful to protect floors, store goods and provide solar resistance.

Exercise generates radiance for your tower
as you watch over the valley like a book for the hours.

The majesty of beauty in the language
builds prestige for you in the reduction of anguish.

The sound of the wind gave a promise to the man.
He was to be husband to both his woman and his land.

There is fullness of joy in your presence.
Search for the essential essence
gives joy as a gift for the present.

16 Conserva me, Domine
Preserve me, Dominated

1 Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you;
I have said to the Lord, "You are my Lord,
my good above all other."
2 All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land,
upon those who are noble among the people.
3 But those who run after other gods
shall have their troubles multiplied.
4 Their libations of blood I will not offer,
nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.
5 O Lord, you are my portion and my cup;
it is you who uphold my lot.
6 My boundaries enclose a pleasant land;
indeed, I have a goodly heritage.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
my heart teaches me, night after night.
8 I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.
9 My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices;
my body also shall rest in hope.
10 For you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor let your holy one see the Pit.
11 You will show me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy,
and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

Abraham- Father of Many
Sarah- Princess
Hittites- Broken; those who fear
Isaac- laughter

Gen. 23:3-6

Abraham rose up from beside his dead and said to the Hittites, 'I am a stranger and an alien residing among you. Give me property among you for a burying place so I may bury my dead out of sight.'

The Hittites answered Abraham, 'Hear us, my lord. You are a mighty prince among us. Bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places. None of us will withhold from you any burial ground for burying your dead.'

James 1:17-18

Every generous act with every perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. He gave us birth by the word of truth in fulfillment of his own purpose so we would become a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Joseph- He will add
Pontius Pilate- Fifth Cap
Jesus- God saves

Luke 23:50-54

There was a good and righteous man named Joseph who was a member of the council. He had not agreed to their plan and action. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid it in a rock-hewn tomb where no one had ever been laid. It was the day of Preparation. The sabbath was beginning.

The Disciple Joseph

When ancient Rome claimed authority over the land now known as Israel, they took the claim from the Seleucids. They were in the process of adopting the Hellenic system of government to something that satisfied the sensibilities of the Roman republic.

When Cyrus had liberated the captives from Babylon, Judea became a province of the Achaemenid Persian empire. They were appointed a governor who met the emperor's approval.

They were allowed to have a high priest who organized the building of the Second Temple. They maintained religious custom for the Temple. Synagogues were added after the exile as a place to read the Law and the prophets throughout the land.

The Sandhedrin

The ancient Jewish court system was called the Sanhedrin.

The earliest record of the system is by Josephus who wrote of a political body convened by the Romans in 57 BCE. Hellenistic sources generally depict the Sanhedrin as a political and judicial council headed by the country’s ruler.

The Great Sanhedrin was the supreme religious body in the Land of Israel during the time of the Holy Temple. There were also smaller religious courts in every town in the land as well as a civil political-democratic council.

There were two classes of rabbinical courts. A lesser Sanhedrin of 23 judges was appointed to each city, but there was to be only one Great Sanhedrin of 71 judges for the capital. This council acted as the Supreme Court among other roles. They took appeals from cases decided by lesser courts.

Jewish sources describe the Great Sanhedrin as a religious assembly of 71 sages who met in the Chamber of Hewn Stones in the Temple in Jerusalem. They met daily except on the Sabbath, festivals or festival eves.

It was the final authority on Jewish law. Any scholar who went against its decisions was put to death as a zaken mamre (rebellious elder). The Sanhedrin was led by a president called the nasi (lit. "prince") and a vice president called the av bet din (lit. "father of the court").

The other 69 sages sat in a semicircle facing the leaders. It is unclear whether the leaders included the high priest.

The Sanhedrin judged those accused as lawbreakers. They did not initiate arrests. It required a minimum of two witnesses to convict a suspect. There were no attorneys.

The witness who was making the accusation stated the offense in the presence of the accused. The accused could call witnesses on his own behalf. The court questioned the accused, the accusers and the defense witnesses.

The Great Sanhedrin dealt with religious and ritualistic Temple matters, criminal matters appertaining to the secular court, proceedings in connection with the discovery of a corpse, trials of adulterous wives, tithes, preparation of Torah Scrolls for the king and the Temple, drawing up the calendar and the solving of difficulties related to ritual law.

The Great Sanhedrin lost its authority to inflict capital punishment sometime around 30 CE.  These Jewish courts existed until the abolishment of the rabbinic patriarchate in about 425 CE.
Joseph of Arimathaea

It was the evening before the sabbath in the Passover festival in 30 CE. Joseph of Arimathaea was a member of the council. He was also a secret disciple of Jesus. It was the responsibility of the senior male representative of the crucified person to deal with the crucified. He was Mary's uncle. The responsibility fell to him.

Joseph went to Pontius Pilate and asked him for the body. Pilate sent for the centurion to see if he was dead. He ordered that the body be given to Joseph when he found out that he was.

He took the body. Nicodemus had been the first to come to Jesus by night. He brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in a fine linen cloth with the mixture according to the burial custom of the Jews.

There was a tomb that had been hewn out of rock in a garden near where Jesus had been crucified. No one had been laid in the tomb. They laid the body there, then rolled a stone against the door.

There is no town named Arimathaea in Judea. It is speculated that a small village 5 miles northwest of Jerusalem named Ramatha is the closest approximation. (Arimathea could be translated as 'thanks to the goddess.') It is reputed to be the resting place for the prophet Samuel. He was the prophet who had said, "Here I am" when he heard the Lord call to him. 

Joseph was a merchant. He traveled to England to buy some cornish tin. Britain was known to the Classical world. The Greeks, Phoenicians and Carthaginians had traded for Cornish tin as early as the 4th century BCE. The Greeks called them the Cassiterides or "tin islands" near the west coast of Europe.

Tin is an element in the periodic table. The symbol Sn is an abbreviation from the Latin stannum.
Tin was combined with copper to form bronze. The earliest bronze objects had a tin or arsenic content of less than 2% . These objects were believed to be the result of unintentional alloying due to trace metal content in the copper ore.

The addition of a second metal to copper increased its hardness, lowered the melting temperature and improved the casting process to produce a more fluid melt that cooled to a denser, less spongy metal.
Tin bonds readily to iron and is used for coating lead, zinc and steel to prevent corrosion. Tin-plated steel containers are widely used for food preservation. This forms a large part of the market for metallic tin in the contemporary world.

A tinplate canister for preserving food was first manufactured in London in 1812. Speakers of British English call them "tins", while speakers of American English call them "cans" or "tin cans".

The most likely use for tin during the time of Joseph of Arimathaea was to make bronze. Tools, weapons, armor and building materials such as decorative tiles were harder and more durable than their stone and copper ("Chalcolithic") predecessors.

Rome had not yet made Britain a colony when Joseph traveled there.

Julius Caesar had taken two campaigns to the Islands in 55 and 54. He believed the Britons were helping the Gallic resistance during his conquest of Gaul. The first expedition gained a foothold in Kent, but was unable to advance further due to lack of cavalry and a storm that damaged their ships.

The Roman Senate declared a 20-day public holiday in Rome to honor the unprecedented achievement of obtaining hostages from Britain. Belgian tribes were defeated on the return to the continent.

The second invasion involved a substantially larger force. Caesar invited many of the native Celtic tribes to pay tribute and give hostages in return for peace. A friendly local king was installed. A rival was brought to terms. Caesar conquered no territory. He left no troops behind but he established clients. Britain was brought into Rome's sphere of influence.

Augustus planned invasions in 34, 27 and 25 BCE, but circumstances were never favorable. The relationship between Britain and Rome settled into one of diplomacy and trade. Strabo claimed that taxes on trade brought in more annual revenue than any conquest could when he wrote late in the reign of Augustus.

Joseph is associated with Philip in the evangelical mission to the northwest of Europe. The Apostle Philip is reputed to have preached to the Gauls.

Philip had been named after the Roman Tetrarch (26 BCE-34 CE)whose territory was east of the Jordan and north of Decapolis.

He had been the one who had called Nathaniel to see Jesus of Nazareth of whom Moses in the law and the prophets wrote. He was the father to 4 daughters who were named as prophets in the Acts of the Apostles.

There are stories that link his mission to Scythia and Phrygia. Scythia was north of the Black Sea. Phrygia was a kingdom in Asia Minor in the country now known as Turkey. This area came to have an association with Montanism. It was a doctrine regarding the prophesy of the Holy Spirit that was identified as a heresy by the Church in Rome. The Church in Gaul expressed respect for certain traits of the Montanists.

The mission of Joseph of Arimathaea to Britain has been associated with that of the Apostle Philip in France, but Philip probably never traveled to Gaul.

Joseph took the cup that had been used at the Last Supper to Glastonbury in Somerset, England.  The well is also known as the Red Spring. It is situated at the base of the tor in Glastonbury. Legend has it that the drops of Christ's blood were caught in the Grail. These drops and some rusty nails from the cross turned the water in the spring red when Joseph hid the chalice there.

The waters from this well have three attributes in common with human blood. The liquid is  red. It coagulates as does hemoglobin and it is warm. The iron content gives it the reddish color. There is a coagulation of rust with the accumulation of ferric oxide. The subterranean water from the well is often warmer than the surface ground temperature.

Roses near the well bloom even in winter when other plants and flowers further away do not. The Thorn Tree, also known as the Glastonbury Thorn (Crataegus Monogyna praecox) blooms in the Chalice Well garden every Christmas. Locals said that this tree took root when Joseph of Arimathea drove his staff into the ground near the well.

The name 'Avalon' refers to Glastonbury. The parish church is dedicated to St John. This was the location for the medieval legends regarding King Arthur and the Holy Grail.

The Glastonbury Thorn is a variety of hawthorn that flowers twice a year in winter and spring. It flowers at Christmas and Easter given suitable conditions. Blossoms from the Thorn are used to decorate the Christmas breakfast table of the Queen.

Joseph converted many to Christianity. Over a hundred were converted in a single day at the town of Wells. He converted Ethelbert a local king. Then he went on to found Glastonbury Abbey. The  Church has a stained glass window commemorating him.
