What Happened to Lazarus in Lincolnshire ?
What happened to Lazarus ?
Well, most would say he was raised from the dead by Jesus - and that would be correct.
OK then, we’re a long way from Lincolnshire in that case.
Well, just down the road from me is a small market town called Caistor and . . .
Lazarus or Simon Zelotes . . .
Was crucified there !!
How amazing is that - Caistor Lincolnshire and the Crucifixion of one of the disciples !
Lazarus was a real person, historically accounted for and was actually called Simon Zelotes or Simon the Zealot, possibly even the brother-in-law of Jesus himself.
And just to clear up a little biblical confusion - he was raised from the dead but this wasn’t a miracle.
The term Being Raised from the Dead was used at the time to signify an initiation or reacceptance into a religious group, i.e. being welcomed back after excommunication.
Clearly it looks like another destination for Goldeneye, the Velocipede and a Lincolnshire Cycling Trip - perhaps I can even track down the spot !
Caistor is well known in terms of Roman History of worthy of further investigation by your roving reporter - I know you’re virtually unable to control yourselves with excitement at this point . . .
“When Are You Going” I hear you cry in desperation “We Can’t Wait Any Longer”
Patience my friends - it is, I realise, more exciting the the final of X Factor but patience is a virtue (she wouldn’t be if she lived in Grimsby 
old joke ) and you will be duly rewarded with riches beyond the dreams of avarice - namely a written account, punctuated with specially commissioned photographs, of an historically investigative trip to Caistor - you lucky devils - you should be paying a subscription for this site
Anyways, enough of all that nonsense - it is genuinely interesting, I think, that Jesus’ favourite disciple, and brother-in-law, if Baigent, Leigh and Lincoln are correct, actually found his way to Caistor in Lincolnshire and ultimately met his end at the hands of Catus Decianus when he was crucified after a trial, of sorts, and buried at Caistor on 10 May 61 A.D.
If these type of posts bore you then let me know and I’ll knock them on the head - I like them but then, what’s it got to do with me.
Historically Yours

Father Rod,
For Bejabbers to have a brother-in-law he must either have been married or had a sister. Hmmm…. We, your disciples know that you have divine knowledge of many things but aught this not to have been in Revelations?

Neville,
Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene - there appears to be more in favour of it than against.
Remember when reading the NT you’re reading the version put together and voted on at Nicea in 325 AD, if I remember correctly, they made a poor job of editing it as much ends up contradicting itself.

I’m not going there Rod, thats how wars start
It was not meant to be serious, however, I go by the motto:
History is an opinion.

Who was it that said History is mostly bunk !
That’s probably about right

Rod!!
This is my favourite subject!!!
..well apart from stiletto shoes heh heh
Its long been established that Jesus’ uncle was a frequent visitor to England and that
the man himself made it so your story is not unlikely at all.
Now if your suggestion about JC and Mary is correct then it has wide ranging implications
for lots of things including..
Knock me on the head?

Phil,
I have been reading a great deal about the history behind Christianity. Not being religious myself I wa staggered by my ignorance - that said I was also staggered how little so many others know - including those of religious belief.
I think I may do some separate posts on various subjects - I’d treat it as purely historical rather than religious.
All the best
Rod

You are absolutely right! Especially those who claim to be religious.
The danger with the historical line is that, once you start, its very difficult to establish
what constitutes ‘history’. Most of what we know as history today is more correctly
described as ‘propaganda’ and the more you read on this subject you find that the victors
in battle usually destroyed the prevailing knowledge and replaced it with something
more suited to themselves.
Along with a post on what happened to JC’s children and their descendants, how about
one on the identity of ‘god’? The christian one i mean.
I have studied this subject for many years and managed to track him down recently.
I even have a picture of him!! Im not going to divulge too much as, as you can imagine,
most people tend to think im a weirdo. I could offer some pointers though?
regards
Phil

Hi Rod
I was motivated to return to this thread as ive just finished reading ‘Bloodline of the Holy Grail’ by Laurence
Gardner. He happened to mention that Mr. Zelotes was crucified by the Romans at Caistor, however he also states
that his mortal remains were eventually (at his own request) placed with those of the Magdalene in Provence.
Another interesting detail is that he claims that Joseph of Arimathea was, in fact, the brother of JC. none other
than James the Just. (Arimathea being a title of course, not a place)
Judging by the lack of contributors this is obviously not a popular subject but i thought you might be interested.

Phil,
many thanks for that it’s great info’ and something I find fascinating. What strikes me as peculiar is that it is something so few people seem to know.
The issue of his mortal remains is very tantalizing, did you find it convincing Phil ?
When I read ‘Bloodline of the Holy Grail’ I thought it a very interesting book although I felt some of the things in it were speculative and the line between known annotated historical data and supposition was sometimes blurred - whereas Baigent et al always make that distinction very clear indeed.
It’s a hugely interesting area and I read everything I can find on it

You are indeed a seeker after the truth.
I have been researching this subject for the past ten years. I have discovered so many things that very few people
know that its criminal. I dont actually know which is more criminal. That people dont look… or that other people
hide it!
I can’t say i was convinced one way or the other and have no way of verifying it at this time, however i suspect it
is true as it fits. This is all a bit like a massive jigsaw puzzle and you tend to get a feel for the pieces the further you go, but that doesnt guarentee anything.
You should read his other book ‘Genesis of the Grail Kings’ if you havent already. It will take you back to the gods,
or the Annunaki, as i have come to know them, who created us and are responsible for all the shit.
You might like to delve into ‘Earth Chronicles’ by Sitchin if you want an overview.
I have to go now and make some nice coffee.
ps. You know how Star Trek is set in the future??
Wrong.. its set in the past.
Kirk out.

Phil,
I know when I first started looking into this stuff I was staggered by my own ignorance - I couldn’t understand why I didn’t know so many things. Subsequently I’ve found it’s nearly everybody, most amusing to find even lay preachers fail to know so many basic things (what a great conversation that was)
Thanks for the recommendations Phil, I recently read The Head of God by Keith Laidler
It wobbled a little in some areas I thought but had some every persuasive arguments and suggestions.
I wouldn’t recommend it for a ‘total picture’ or answer but some compelling arguments and very interesting history

Hi Rod
I had a looky at that book..
Im not so sure about the head, bit dodgy to me, however the whole story of the ‘9 knights going to protect pilgrims’
has been well and truly exposed. I easily found that for starters they were all related. It didnt take long to realise
they were his decendants. And they were looking for something. Just like we are now in Iraq.
I know what you mean about the conversations!! I remember asking my vicar years ago to explain Genesis 6.
Gods mating with women. He said i was being silly and he knew nothing about it. I had to stand there and make him read it. How embarassing?
Ive just read your thread about the Pilgrim Fathers and Plymouth.. very good! I didnt know that but it reminded me
of learning at school that Columbus ‘discovered’ America in about 1500 and then finding a few years ago that the
Templars were there over a hundred years before. And theres a connection you see.. the 9 knights were the
original Templars and here are their descendants beating Columbus.
Sorry this could turn into a rant.. anyway its good (and rare) to meet someone else who has smelt a rat!
What are your thoughts on the Anunnaki Rod?
Phil

Phil,
the head business does get very tenuous at some points the seems to have validity in others.
I did find quite a bit of interest in the book though I wasn’t convinced about everything.
There are suggestions that Columbus have Templar maps / navigators with him I believe.
There’s a lot of speculative stuff I’ve read, some much better and convincing than others, and one thing I am sure of is there’s a ’secret’ out there.
I believe it’s something to do with Jesus not dying on the cross or a blood line etc - whatever it is there is something which is / was known to some and covered up by others.
I’m in the dark as to Anunnaki Phil

I have a feeling in my waters then that its time..
Your quest, my friend, should you accept it, is to study the Anunnaki.
There you will find the ’secret’ that you sense.
Its not for the feint hearted and yes, there is some drivel too as with anything, and there has been an
explosion of information recently, some fantasy, some not.
They are behind everything that we are and that we know.
You have to be prepared to let go of much in order to understand.
Somewhere along the line you will answer your Jesus puzzle.
There is only one story and everything is connected to it.
Nothing is what it seems.
If you do i would very much like to know how you get on.
