THE BIBLE - WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

Yahweh was both surprised, and at first quite delighted. A message arrived from his co-Hellians, after he had only had his robots, and at times the Earthlings, for company, for nearly ten thousand years. His long space flight from Hell to Earth had take 7,921 years. And then for the next 2,039 years he'd also had the humans, whom he would torment, destroy, or deceive into worshiping and obeying his every command, and the animals, which he loved to have sacrificed so that he could smell their blood and burning fat.

Nearly two thousand of Earth's years previously, the Hellians' telescope array in the asteroid belt had resolved the movements of Yahweh's 40m diameter drones, in particular, as he flew chalk dust from the quarry sites in Egypt up into the stratosphere. The flights to fetch the red tide algae bloom from the Red Sea to release in the river Nile were quite conspicuous too, but by then, action had already been taken. The images from the chalk dust operation were collected, resolved and transmitted in 1875 BC, and 161 years later the signals arrived at the spacecraft of a Hellian scouting party that was 161 light years from Earth.

The scouting party was led by a character known as "the Father", so named because of how he did his job. His work consisted of attempting to correct erroneous interventions that had damaged developing civilizations. And his technique involved creating characters who would be seen as a kind of "Messiah", whose role would involve teaching ethics to a people who had lost their way, and drawing attention to his message by performing a few 'miracles'. Nanotech bots would impregnate some unsuspecting female, delivering high-quality DNA, modified genes for accelerated neuron growth and powerful cognitive skills even at an early age, and external signals would be broadcast from a drone to program and activate the growing child's full mission parameters.

As they received the images there was some discussion over who amongst the Type II civilization visitors might have been still on Earth 161 years previously, and probably still there even as they were debating it. And then they remembered the youngster, who had won the prize for first observing the comet smash into Earth's Atlantic ocean, destroying the island of Atlantis and bringing about some catastrophic changes and shifts in climate, back in 10,071 BC in Earth years, when the light signals from the impact had reached Hell, 764 light years from Earth. (So the comet actually crashed in 10,835 BC.)

Looking into the records, they noted that the precocious youngster with some talent for data analysis had spent a relatively large proportion of his formative years in the bizarre virtual reality that simulated a universe of entropy reducing with time. And subsequent studies showed a strong positive correlation between mental disease and those who were subjected to the simulation. In fact, in the studies, the Pearson's coefficient was typically about 0.8.

The Father made the decision to set course for Earth. They had to find out if anyone had been interfering in the development of human civilization in a negative way, contrary to the official Hellian policy of general non-intervention, plus a little help by constructing durable monuments such as pyramids or stone circles.

1875 Yahweh is conducting his sunlight blocking operation, for the first of seven years of famine.
1714 The laser signal, focused on quarry sites near the Nile, reaches the Hellian scouting party, 160.651 light years from Earth.
1709 Lift off, following five years' preparation.
1613 (1612.509) ~96.84 years of acceleration to 0.1c at 0.00981 m/s², ~4.842 light years traveled.
103 1,509.67 years at 0.1c, 150.967 light years traveled.
6 ~96.84 years of deceleration to near zero (GEO orbit around Earth) at 0.00981 m/s², ~4.842 light years traveled.

"Hello, is anyone receiving this message on Earth? This is Hellian scouting party Anti-Viper Trinity III. Is that the winner of the comet-spotting competition by any chance, who got the first prize of use of a Deuterium/Helium³-powered 1km radius ship equipped with 140 drones, DE beam, robots and much more? Whoever may receive this, please inform us of the latest situation on Earth. We are 4.714 light Earth-days out at time of sending, approaching at 1,547,866 m/s and decelerating at 0.00981 m/s². We will be arriving in 5 Earth years."

They were using the language widely used on Hell, which Yahweh (or YHWH) had also used. They did not know of his Earth-acquired name, in which he had decided to call himself the Lord, Creator, God, He Who Made That Which Exists, etc., for reasons of personal vanity.

Yahweh replied within a couple of hours, and the approaching craft would reply promptly upon receipt. Given the separation of 4.714 light days, the time delay between one party transmitting a message and then receiving a response from the other party was around nine-and-a-half days.

Yahweh sent his message, bragging of all that he had done, starting with tricking the retard named Abram into imagining that Yahweh was a 'god', then persuading the male members of Abram's tribe to have themselves genitally mutilated or to mutilate themselves as part of the price for receiving favors from their 'god', doing animal sacrifices for Yahweh's pleasure, performing pointless rituals as another demonstration of their blind devotion, how Yahweh had performed his "tricks" and "wonders" in order to smite his chosen people's enemies, and how his chosen people had gone to war with all their neighboring tribes with technical support from Yahweh, even to the extent of killing all the women and children in various cities.

Yahweh told of how sounds of human speech along with footage of the people was recorded by his 'locust' drones and fed into AI processors, in order to compile a database of Earthling languages such as early Hebrew and Aramaic. And he told of how he had chosen his name YHWH, with the Earthling translation being Creator, Lord, God, or He Who Made That Which Exists.

Now there were some members of the Hellian scouting party who had chosen to retain their biological, carbon-based substrate. They used nanotech cell repair technology to extend lifespan, and spent much of the routine time in cryonic suspension, but would reanimate when approaching a planet for some interesting mission. As soon as Yahweh's message was received and circulated around the crew, the immediate response was visible in the raising of eyebrows among the biological group, and soon there was quite an expression of horror on their faces. Interactions with emerging civilizations had not always gone exactly to plan, but none of the individuals among the Anti-Viper Trinity III group could recall any case that had gone so disastrously wrong. Some of them began murmuring about "evil incarnate".

It had only been in relatively 'recent' times, when the planet formerly known as Heaven had been renamed Hell, and some individuals had dwelt in the experimental, novel simulations of a reversed thermodynamic arrow of time, that there had been any really significant mental disease among the Heavenly or Hellian beings. Now occasionally their psychological problems would be simply a result of experiencing the real world, of seeing their beloved planet turn into Hell as its star ran out of hydrogen and its oceans began to boil. But the experimental virtual realities were a much greater factor, which is why the strong correlation coefficient had been conclusively proven.

"Yahweh, please send us your database files of these Earthling languages, as it will save us a lot of time. Your program for creating a devoted group of worshipers does indeed appear to have been very clever, and we would like to know further and collaborate with you. After all this, we would expect you to be granted ownership of your spacecraft and awarded rights to free refueling where available, although as you know confirmation could take quite considerable time. We will join you in studying these Earth creatures, and our arrival is due in a little less than five Earth years."

Most crucially, they wanted his knowledge of Earth languages, and they had to humor him; they didn't want to scare him off at this point. Of course, if possible he would need to be taken into custody, for the sake of the Earthlings, and for the sake of any other emerging civilizations that he might ruin. And he should face a trial.

So Yahweh received their second message about 9.5 days after receiving the first message. At first he was very glad, and he immediately sent a reply saying that he looked forward to working with them, and he sent his database of all the information he had gathered on the Earthlings' languages.

But then he began to have doubts. For two thousand years he had enjoyed free reign, to meddle with humanity just exactly as he wanted. If the others were involved, then at best they would want some sort of compromise and adjustments to his program. At worst, they might demand radical changes, which might even involve being nice to the Earthlings.

Yahweh's remaining deuterium/helium³ fuel had amounted to 610,180,920 kg, enough to provide ~2.136x10²³ J of energy, when he arrived on Earth more than two thousand years previously. Over that time he had used up a minor fraction of that for individual 'tricks', such as the Nile crossing, and the total energy expenditure from his D/He³ came to less than 10²² J, or ~2.86x10⁷kg for those 'games'.

As he had planned, he still had at least 561,439,229 kg remaining of his He/De³ (plus a little extra), and so with the dry mass of his spaceship reduced to some 4.4635x10¹⁰ kg after hydrogen fuel had been used for the shuttle drones, his possible Δv was at least 0.08c x ln((4.4635x10¹⁰ + 5.6144x10⁸)/4.4635x10¹⁰) = at least 0.001c.

So he had been careful to limit his consumption of that fuel. He had used other energy sources, such as solar for the drones, the relatively small mass of matter/antimatter he and his robots had been provided with to power their anti-gravity charge spheres and painter beams, and chlorine³⁵ that they used for LENRs to recharge their graphene supercapacitor guns whilst meting out death and destruction across the land.

Yahweh gathered up everything he needed into his shuttle drones. Each of these ten drones could accommodate 100 robots, with a total weight of 8 tonnes. Then he programmed the 130 workhorse drones, which could not ascend into orbit, to go on their final mission.

They could fly ~400km unloaded, using the wings and electric fans powered by supercapacitors. And each day, they would fly 400km, mostly to the west, and a little to the south, going over remote desert areas. Eventually, after thirteen days of flying, starting in the afternoon after charging the supercapacitors and continuing into the night, they covered the ~5,100km to the western shores of the Atlantic Ocean, in the region that would be known as Western Sahara.

On the fourteenth day, the 130 drones took their final flight westwards, out into the Atlantic. After covering a little more than 400km, the charge in the supercapacitors was depleted, and since it was night, there was no incoming solar energy. The drones quickly lost what little altitude they had, and plunged into the sea, where the depth was at least 3km.

Yahweh didn't want the masses of humanity to know that he was a creature of robotic form, who used a spacecraft, drones and robots for his tricks. He wanted them to imagine that he was some kind of ethereal entity that transcended space and time and materialism, and somehow performed his 'wonders' with the aid of supernatural power.

However, there was something that Yahweh had deliberately left behind, something that would dramatically help to continue Yahweh's program of wrecking and sabotaging the progress of human civilization. The object was located in the Second Temple, and yet he wanted to leave it on Earth.

Then his ship left Earth orbit, heading in the direction of Barnard's Star. After accelerating at 0.0095 m/s² for 365.242 days, he got to the cruising speed of 0.001c.

In a sense, the Earth and mankind were at last free again from the greatest menace in history, but unfortunately Yahweh's legacy would live on, and much of the power accruing to his band of saboteurs would derive from the artifact that remained behind.

The Anti-Viper Trinity III scouting party received Yahweh's second reply, expecting some more content, but immediately began checking the database files. After finding that everything seemed in order and no files were corrupted, they sent a message acknowledging receipt.

And it was not long after that, still with nearly five years to go until their arrival on Earth, when Trinity III's advanced LIDAR system was pinging the solar system and detected an object of interest.

The transmitted power was a few megawatts per pulse, but the duty cycle was ~0.00001, and so the power consumption was similar to a low power light bulb. After analysis of the object, it was found to be consistent with a spacecraft.

"We could easily outrun him; he will only have minimal D/He³ fuel reserves left, and will only be able to attain a speed that is a tiny fraction of ours. Shall we divert and capture him, and then contine to Earth?" said the individual known as Spirit.

"No, it is imperative that we first work at rectifying the damage done on Earth," said the character known as the Father. "He won't be able to carry out any more of his subterfuge from interstellar space. Even if he has a hundred years' head start on us, we can still intercept him and prevent him from doing any more harm, if he should make it to any inhabited planet."

Fortunately, the official Anti-Viper party had been allocated a generous allowance of matter/antimatter fuel when they initially departed from Hell. Stockpiles of the fuel had been built up over many hundreds of millions of years, using energy harvested from the civilization's Dyson swarms. For emergencies, relatively small amounts had been left on a few random planets in the Hellians' sector of the galaxy. But setting up remote storehouses on a large scale, or having ships carry spare matter/antimatter fuel, to be magnetically guided and transferred over to another craft, was a logistical nightmare even for the Hellians, and it was far easier to set out with an ample supply of the fuel.

A scouting party would typically be allowed to depart with enough matter/antimatter so as to achieve Δv of 0.9c. They could travel to some location at 0.1c, with acceleration plus deceleration comprising Δv of 0.2c, then twice repeat this for two more locations, and then make the journey home. They had an extra reserve supply for an additional Δv of 0.1c, in addition to the four lots of 0.2c. See Genesis for full details of these antimatter ships.

So, according to what would become known as the Gregorian calendar and adopted generally between ~1600 and ~1900 years later, it was 11 BC when Yahweh fled Earth. And it was five years later, 6 BC, when the Anti-Viper scouting group arrived at Earth. With their spacecraft in geostationary orbit, they descended in their shuttle drones to the same Middle Eastern region that had been ravaged by Yahweh's malign influence.

The Anti-Viper team sent out their 'locust' drones to spy on the people as Yahweh had done, for this was standard Hellian practice when observing some alien so-called 'civilization'. They found two Earth women of interest, both of high morality. The first one, named Elizabeth, was married to a priest called Zechariah, but they had no children as Elizabeth was infertile, and they were both advanced in age. The other woman named Mary was a young relative of Elizabeth.

Hellian robotic sperm were deployed to enter Elizabeth, after the nanobots had been assigned to conduct any necessary tissue repairs. 'Locust' drones would monitor the woman's location, and communicate with other 'locusts', which would usher the aerosolized nanobots in the required direction.

The first child from Elizabeth was to be a test run, with only limited mental programming. It would prepare the way for the second child, which Mary would bear. Mary, from a town of Galilee named Nazareth, was a virgin but betrothed to a man named Joseph. And Mary was impregnated by the nanobots, six months after Elizabeth had conceived.

Around the time of Mary's artificial conception, one of the Father's robots (or 'angels') flew over to see her. The robot was equipped with the same ~7C negative charge that Yahweh's robots incorporated, that allowed them to be weightless or almost weightless, and able to fly around by moving their arms, which including miniature vacuum spheres and charge disks just up along from the wrists. And frequently, for routine work, they would use a painter beam to save antimatter consumption.

The robot told Mary that she would give birth to a son whom she should call Jesus, and he would be most eminent, the Son of the Most High, the Son of God. The Lord God would give him the governmental seat of his ancestor David. And the robot informed Mary that her relative Elizabeth had also conceived a son in her old age. Mary declared that she was the maidservant of the Lord, and would do as she was told.

Soon afterwards, Mary went into the hill country into a town in Judah, and she went into the house of Zechariah and greeted her relative Elizabeth. And just then, Elizabeth felt the baby kick in her womb. Mary stayed together with Elizabeth for about three months, then went back to her home.

Then Elizabeth's child was born, a son. It was 6 or 5 BC. Originally the boy was to be named after the 'father' Zechariah, but Elizabeth said he should be called John. The others said that there was no one of that name among her relatives, but then Zechariah agreed with the name John, and so John it was.

Caesar Augustus made a decree that everyone in the inhabited world should be registered for a census, for "taxation" (a.k.a. theft) purposes. Now Joseph was supposedly a descendant of David, which meant that he had to register at a town of David named Bethlehem, together with Mary who was engaged to become his wife, and who was now expectant with a child.

And there was no room for them at the inn, but the innkeeper said he had a stable where they might rest. Then Mary gave birth to her firstborn son, and he was wrapped in strips of cloth and laid in the manger, or feeding trough. It was now 5 BC.

In the nearby fields there were shepherds resting in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks at night. The Father and his crew had received footage of the birth via the 'locust' drones, and sent along a robot or so-called "angel" to meet the shepherds.

The robot told the shepherds not to be afraid, for there was good news to announce for all the people. In a town of David a "Savior" had been born that day, called Christ the Lord. And as a sign for the shepherds, they would find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough. And then suddenly a multitude of other angels appeared, and praised "God", saying, "Glory in the highest realms to God and peace on Earth; goodwill among men." And then all the robots / angels departed into the sky.

The Father would have been quite pleased to have been perceived as a "god", although he wasn't a narcissist like Yahweh; he simply wanted to do what was best for humanity, or any similar developing civilization. And in this particular case, that involved reversing Yahweh's abominable agenda of war, hatred, imbecility, death, mutilation and destruction, and actually allowing intelligent lifeforms to get on with their role, of creating localized pockets of decreasing entropy, where order is created out of chaos. And this was in real life, not in some bizarre simulation, that would lead to mental disease and an appetite for destruction.

So the shepherds said to one another, "Come, let us go at once into Bethlehem, and see this episode that has come about, which we were told of."

And they went off with haste, and discovered Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the feeding trough. And then they publicly related the account that had been told to them concerning the child. And all who heard were astounded at the shepherds' tales. But Mary treasured the words and pondered over them. Then the shepherds returned, praising and glorifying their 'god'.

Sadly, Mary's child was made to undergo the disgusting superstitious genital mutilation ritual at the age of eight days, a legacy of the evil Yahweh from 2,000 years previously when duping the mental midget Abram into thinking he was a 'god'.

When Type II civilization beings equipped with Type II technology and vast energy reserves were using their resources constructively to benefit humanity, it would be an entirely reasonable presumption for an unsophisticated people with no knowledge of technology to perceive them as 'gods'. But for such a people to imagine that a being who told them to mutilate their baby boys, as part of the price they had to pay for a promise of prosperity, was a 'god' rather than a 'devil', and to continue with their belief when the being became increasingly unsound and unhinged, such as demanding animal sacrifices, such a supposition requires that the dupes are of very low intelligence and with zero understanding of moral values.

And then at eight days of age, Mary's child was named Jesus, as had been ordered by the 'angel'.

After this, Mary was to continue "in the blood of her purification" for 33 days, one of Yahweh's barmy 'laws' that the people still mindlessly followed by tradition, and when this time was fulfilled, she had to make atonement by the sacrifice of a lamb, a son of the first year, for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering. If she could not bring a lamb, she then had to bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for the burnt offering and one for the sin offering. This dated back about 1,440 years, to when Yahweh had become addicted to the smell of animal blood and burning flesh and fat, and needed to satisfy his cravings.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon who was a devout cultist, eagerly expecting the "Consolation of Israel", the coming of a "Messiah", who would remove sorrow and comfort the nation. Yahweh had created so much suffering and sorrow, yet was so deluded that he thought he was right. He didn't know that others from his civilization would follow, to attempt to correct his destructive work, but he did know that his servants would perform better if they had some hope of a brighter future, and to this end Yahweh had used his robots to spread a message to certain individuals about the coming of a Messiah.

When Yahweh sent his robots they would generally present themselves as "angels". The Father would do likewise, but in contrast to Yahweh, he used some much smaller robots, about the size of a house sparrow, who would present themselves as the "Holy Spirit".

Now compare these sparrow-sized devices with the 80kg robot humanoid creatures. The 'sparrow' devices were roughly 16cm long, with wingspan ~22cm and mass ~32g.

The Hellians had considered using the same electrostatic levitation apparatus as employed within the robots or even Yahweh himself, since it could be scaled down. There was room for a vacuum sphere of diameter 5cm within the 'sparrow' model. So, a charge globe of radius 1.25cm would be contained within a vacuum sphere of radius 2.5cm. Compared with the robot model with its 0.2m radius vacuum sphere, the bird version has decreased in size by 8x for the vacuum sphere and levitation apparatus, and so the volume and mass of this equipment decreases by 512x.

	Humanoid robot / 'angel'	Bird device / 'Holy Spirit'
Basic body, less levitation / antigravity apparatus	40kg	32g
Vacuum sphere	20kg	40g
Charge plates globe	5kg	10g
Active shielding, to protect carbon-based life	5kg	10g
Antimatter power supply	10kg	20g
Total	80kg	112g

Now the stored energy U = ½Q²/C depends on the charge Q in Coulombs (the weight in kg divided by 11.26 kg/C) and the self-capacitance C (which derives from the charge globe radius). Here is how the two compare:

Levitating 80kg robot: U = ½ x (7.1C)² / 1.11x10^-11F = 2.27x10¹²J = 2.27TJ
Levitating 112g 'bird' or drone: U = ½ x (0.01C)² / 1.39x10^-12F = 3.60x10⁷J = 36.0MJ

So the energy requirement and antimatter consumption, whether for initial charging or making adjustments and employing active shielding, is ~63,000x smaller for the 'bird' or drone device. However, even the Hellians regarded the electrostatic levitation as so much overkill for the 'bird' or drone models, and although this was a fascinating concept, they opted instead for rotors or wings.

The winged models were employed to provide a more natural view when presenting as the "Holy Spirit" to the recipient. With the basic mass down to around 32g, without need for the additional weight of a vacuum sphere, antimatter power supply, etc., and with their rotors of radius 0.08m, the power to hover at sea level was:

P_actual = (1/0.8) x SQRT((9.8 N/kg x 0.032 kg)³ / (2π x (0.08m)² x 1.225 kg/m³)) = 0.989W.

They had solar cells over an upper surface area of 16 cm length x 4 cm average width, which is 0.0064m². With 29.5 MJ/m² harvested over a typical 12-hour day, an 85% efficiency, and a 3% loss from rotor shadows, the energy harvested per hour was 0.85 x 0.97 x 0.0064m² x 29.5 MJ/m² / 12 = ~13 kJ. And so, with 0.989 x 3,600 = 3,560 J needed for one hour of hovering, there was a considerable surplus for daytime hovering.

With structural capacitors built into half of their mass, the storage capacity was 0.016 kg x 0.5 MJ/kg = 8 kJ, enough for more than two hours of hovering at night or with heavy cloud cover.

If using the wings, taking the frontal cross-section as 0.0032 m² and C_d as 0.8, the cruising speed was 16.11 m/s, the total induced drag plus parasitic drag was 0.8138N, and the possible flying distance with supercapacitors at night was 9.83km.

In order to give the genuine experience of "tongues of fire", the winged bird models incorporated liquid ethanol-based fuel. A small amount of sodium chloride was added to provide a yellow glow and make the flame more visible. There were also trace amounts of myrrh or frankincense, for an olfactory sensation. A piezoelectric valve released minuscule droplets of fuel on command, and the control valve would pulse the fuel valve open for milliseconds to produce distinct "tongues of fire". The nozzle had a platinum catalytic mesh so that fuel instantly vaporized and ignited. This nozzle or 'beak' was made of boron nitride for its refractory properties.

The Father sent one of these 'bird' models as the "Holy Spirit" to Simeon in Jerusalem. And these devices were equipped with some very sophisticated electronics. They could transmit precisely modulated electromagnetic fields to stimulate the auditory and visual cortices of a nearby human, so that the human would 'hear' a voice inside their head, or 'see' an image, as if by telepathy. Although these apparent sounds and images were simulated, the "tongues of fire" was a real sensory experience, so that the sounds and visions did not seem like a dream. The device could also read minute electromagnetic signals from the human brain's neural activity, and would have some idea of how the human responded.

So via the "Holy Spirit" bird device, it was 'divinely' communicated to Simeon that he would not see death before he had seen the Christ of the Lord. And under the impulse of this message, Simeon went into the Temple. As the parents brought the child Jesus into the Temple to carry out the customary laws concerning him, Simeon took him up into his arms and praised his 'God', saying:

"Let your servant now depart in peace,
oh sovereign Lord,
in keeping with your word,
For my eyes have seen your deliverance,
which you have prepared before all the peoples,
A light for a revelation of the nations,
and preeminence of your people Israel."

And Joseph and Mary were marveling at what was being said concerning their child. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary:

"Mark this: he is destined as a falling and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against. And as for you, a sword will pierce through your own heart as well, so that the thought of many hearts might be revealed."

There was a prophetess named Anna, daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher, who had been married for seven years but was now an 84-year-old widow. She never left the Temple, having worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. She was standing nearby at the same time as Simeon spoke about the child Jesus, and she gave thanks to her god and spoke about the child to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

When all the ceremonies had been conducted, Jesus' parents took him back to Nazareth. And the child grew, and he was strengthened in spirit, being filled with wisdom, as if the favor of a 'god' was on him.

In reality, the Father's transmitters had been beaming the required electromagnetic signals into the child's brain over the months and years, so that he would be able to perform the tasks assigned to him, in working against the sabotage and wrecking of human civilization.

Now every year Jesus' parents would go to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover, a custom that Yahweh had dictated that they follow, in order to celebrate his mass murder of Egyptians. Yahweh was no longer around, but the people were none the wiser. And when Jesus was twelve years old they went up to Jerusalem as usual at Passover, but when returning to their home they forgot to take him with them, assuming incorrectly that he was among the group of travelers. They went for a day's travel, searching for Jesus among their relatives and acquaintances, to no avail. And then they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

Then after three days they found him in the Temple, sitting in the presence of the teachers, both listening and asking them questions. And all those listening to him were amazed at his understanding and answers. And on seeing him they were struck with astonishment, and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you acted in this way towards us? You can see that your father and I have been distressed in searching up and down for you."

And he replied, "Why were you looking for me? Do you not know that I must be occupied in the things of my Father?" And they did not understand his reply, and they took him back to Nazareth, but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

And Jesus progressed in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with men and his creator.

It was around 26 to 29AD, when Jesus was about thirty or in his early thirties, around the twelfth to fifteenth year of the government of the Roman emperor Tiberius Caesar, when John, son of Zechariah, was in the wilderness and was visited by one of the Father's "Holy Spirit" bird-shaped thought transfer devices.

Then John went into the country around the Jordan, proclaiming an immersion of submission for the forgiveness of sins.

He said to the crowds, "Progeny of vipers! Who warned you to flee away from the soon coming indignation?" He also told them to produce good fruits, and that any tree not producing good fruit would be cut down and burnt.

When the crowds asked him what they should do, he advocated that anyone with two undergarments should give one to he who had none, and he who had food should do the same.

Tax collectors came to be immersed, and they asked him what they should do. He told them to exact nothing more beyond what they had been authorized.

When men on military service came to him asking what they should do, he told them to oppress nobody, nor make false accusations, and be content with their pay.

And people were wondering and asking whether or not John might be the Christ, and John answered them, saying, "I immerse you with water, but he who is coming is mightier than me, the straps of whose sandals I an not worthy to unfasten. He will immerse you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his threshing floor, and he will gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with inextinguishable fire."

Then in many other respects he comforted and brought good news to the people. But later, when John would go on to rebuke Herod Antipas the tetrarch over his relationship with his brother's wife Herodia, and for other evil acts, Herod locked John in jail.

Now when all the people were being immersed or baptized, Jesus came to the Jordan too, to be baptized. However, John was aware of the pecking order, and said, "I need to be immersed by you, yet you come to me!"

But in answering, Jesus said that John should immerse him, since in that way it was proper for them to fulfill all righteousness.

So John baptized Jesus, and as Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the "Holy Spirit" descending like a dove and alighting over him. And then a voice came out of the sky saying, "This is my son, the Richly Loved, in whom I have found delight."

The Father had plenty of drones, although not as many large ones as Yahweh, but most of the Father's drones were equipped with holographic projectors and parametric speakers. Sights could be seen in the sky, and voices could appear to come out of the sky.

By now, after at least thirty years of receiving the Father's mental conditioning, Jesus was full of the required spirit for the tasks he had been assigned. He returned from the Jordan, and was led by the "Holy Spirit", i.e., one of the Father's bird-shaped transmitting devices, into the wilderness. For forty days, he was to be tested by the "devil" or "slanderer", which was simply a series of transmissions by the spirit device. He fasted during the forty days, and so was hungry afterwards.

The "devil" said to him, "If you are the son of God, speak to this stone, so that it might become bread." And Jesus replied, saying, "It has been written that 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every utterance of God'."

Then the "devil" brought him up into a high mountain, and showed him what was supposedly all the kingdoms of the inhabited world in a moment of time. Of course, even the Father did not have footage of the entire world; the vision transmitted to Jesus was just designed to seem very impressive and diverse.

The "devil" said, "To you I will give this authority, and all their splendor, for to me it has been handed over and to whomever I wish to give it. You, then, if you will worship me, all this will be yours."

And in answer, Jesus replied, "Get behind me, adversary! It has been written: 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve Him only'."

Then the wannabe Satan, albeit a poor imitation of Yahweh, led Christ into Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the Temple. "If you are the son of God, throw yourself down from here. For it has been written that 'He will give his angels charge over you to thoroughly protect you, and they will lift you up on hands, in case at any time you should strike your foot against a stone'."

And Jesus replied, "It has been spoken that 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test'."

And having finished every testing, the 'slanderer' departed from him for a time. Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, or in other words, his mental programming was working as designed, and a report concerning him went out throughout the entire surrounding region. And Jesus was teaching in their synagogues, and was praised by everybody.

Then he came into Nazareth where he had been brought up, and as customary he went into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbath, and he stood up to read. A scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him, and after unrolling the scroll he found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is over me, on account of which He has anointed me to proclaim the gospel to the poor; He has authorized me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to send off in deliverance those having been crushed, to proclaim the welcome year of the Lord."

And he rolled up the scroll and handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. And the eyes of the synagogue were on him.

And he began to explain to them, "Today this passage is fulfilled in your ears." And all spoke well of him, and they marveled at the words of merciful goodwill that he spoke. And they asked, "Isn't this the son of Joseph?"

Then he said to them, "You will doubtless speak this parable to me: Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard in Capernaum, do here also in your hometown."

And then he added, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his hometown. But I tell you truthfully, many were widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the sky was shut for three and a half years, and great famine swept over all the land. Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, except to the widow of Sarepta in Sidon. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elijah the prophet. Yet not one of them was cleansed except for Naaman the Syrian."

On hearing this, everyone in the synagogue was filled with boiling fury, and they rose up and threw him out of the town, and led him to an overhanging brow of the mountain that their town had been built on, to throw him down headlong over the cliff. But passing through them, he went on his way.

And he came down into Capernaum, a town of Galilee, and he was teaching them on the Sabbaths, and they were struck with astonishment at his teaching, for he spoke with authority.

And in the synagogue there was a man who was supposedly possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, i.e., mentally ill. And it called out in a loud voice, "Hey, what do we have to do with you, Jesus, Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

The 'demon' then appeared to throw the man in front of them, and came out of him, leaving him unhurt. And all the onlookers were astonished, saying, "What kind of word is this that he gives orders to the unclean spirits with authority and power, and they come out?" And the news about Jesus spread out around the surrounding area.

Now even for the Type II technology employed by the Anti-Viper group, it was capable of working what to a less sophisticated people would appear as 'miracles', but the various types of healing, whether mental or physical, could not be performed instantaneously. The Father's 'locust' drones would monitor individuals to identify those with various ailments, and then an infusion of nanobots would enter them, diagnose medical problems, and cell repair devices would get to work.

If the problem was a blocked nerve, say a spinal cord injury where inflammation or scar tissue was blocking the signal, making someone lame, then this could be cured relatively quickly, perhaps within minutes, by dissolving the blockage or creating a bypass using artificial synapses. Similarly, if a blind person had a damaged optic nerve but a healthy eyeball and visual cortex, a bridge could be implanted almost instantaneously.

Problems such as a severed spinal cord or severely damaged retina would take longer, as the nanobots would have to guide rapid cellular regeneration. They would debride scar tissue precisely, stimulate stem cells, or introduce programmed stem cells, to differentiate into the required cell types, and lay down a guided pathway for axons to regrow, connecting correctly to the target muscles or brain regions. This type of fix might be done in hours, e.g. overnight.

Mental disease might take days of work by the nanobots, in conjunction with a series of electromagnetic beam therapy. There would be a monitoring of neurotransmitter levels, hormones, inflammatory markers, and metabolic waste products in real-time. Neural pathways would be mapped out to an atomic-level resolution, and flaws such as corrupted synaptic connections, prion-like misfolded proteins, or inflammation in specific regions would be identified. The firing patterns of billions of neurons would be recorded simultaneously, to create a real-time map of any dysfunctional electrical activity.

Then the nanodevices would synthesize and release the needed neurotransmitters at the site of imbalance, they would dismantle maladaptive synaptic connections that reinforced negative thought patterns or trauma, and would encourage the growth of new, healthy synapses to reinforce positive neural pathways. They would breakdown toxic protein tangles, clear out cellular debris, and repair damaged mitochondria.

There would be a holistic approach as any problem with the gut microbiome might be repaired to regulate the gut-brain axis. The endocrine system would be balanced, for example to bring stress hormones like cortisol to a healthy baseline.

The ideal subject would be well known in the local community for having some particular mental and/or physical condition, with the condition being one that Hellian Type II technology could heal relatively quickly. But all of the subjects would have been identified, and treatment already started, well enough in advance of their being presented publicly as cured.

Finally the electromagnetic fields would be delivered to the patient's brain, perhaps from a small drone that entered their home or tent whilst they slept. The brain might be guided from beta waves over to alpha or theta waves. Seizure-like synchronous firing would be disrupted and blocked. Underactive regions would be stimulated and overactive regions moderated.

Now these healings could never be anything more than a temporary series of events, on specific selected individuals. The Hellians would not remain on Earth, and such medical treatment would not be generally available until, or unless, mankind perfected it. The main point of such healings was to provide publicity for Jesus, so that his message could be spread to a wider audience.

One of the Anti-Viper drones had its parametric speakers directed exactly onto the "possessed" man's head, to generate the 'voice' of the so-called "spirit", and although the man was now pretty well cured, hearing the voice appear to come from his head was so startling that he lurched forward in fright. This was somewhat reminiscent of Balaam's donkey turning aside in pain, when its nose went into the range of Yahweh's infrared beam. And then the years of programming that Jesus had received meant that he understood what he had to say or do.

Then Christ rose up out of the synagogue and went into the house of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. The Anti-Viper Trinity III group's nanobots had already been working on their patient, greatly speeding up antibody production and regulating temperature. By the time Jesus entered she was already much better, but the others, unaware of that, appealed to him concerning her. He stood over her, rebuked the fever and it supposedly left her. Of course, this final part was only for show, such as Moses or Aaron striking the Nile or a rock with their staff, but it impressed the onlookers. And then she was so much better that she stood up and served them.

And then at sunset many people who were ill with various diseases were brought to Jesus, and they were healed after he laid his hands on them. Of course, those who were brought to him were all known to have been suffering from various diseases, but they were essentially already cured after the nanobots had already been working on them for hours.

Similarly, many lunatics had also received the treatment in advance. They were brought to Jesus, and the 'demons' - or rather, the Father's parametric speakers - blared out the words, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" as Jesus rebuked 'them', and supposedly did not allow 'them' to speak any more.

Then after daybreak he departed and went into a deserted place, but the crowds were looking for him and came to him, and tried to detain him. But he said, "I must also proclaim the gospel, the Kingdom of God, to different cities, because for this I have been authorized." That was his real job. And he continued to teach and preach in the synagogues of Galilee.

One day when the crowds were pressing on him to hear the "oracle of God", he was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret and he saw two boats moored at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had left them to wash out their nets. Jesus got into the boat belonging to Simon and asked him to push out a little from the shore. And sitting down, he taught the people from the boat.

After he had finished speaking he said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a catch."

Simon replied saying that they had caught nothing during the night, but nevertheless he would let down the net. On doing so they netted a large shoal of fish, and their net was being torn, and they signaled to those in the other boat that they should come and help them, and they filled both boats, so that they were beginning to sink.

When Simon Peter saw it he fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sin-committing man, Lord." For he and the others were seized with astonishment at the haul of the fish that they had taken, and likewise Jacob and John, sons of Zebedee, who were companions of Simon.

And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not fear. From now on you will be catching men." And after bringing their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

The Father had built a 'fish herding' device that could generate low frequency electromagnetic waves or sounds, to drive fish away, or to steer them to where he wanted them. The device would settle on the bottom of the lake, perceived by the fish as a 'rock'. One option was to project a field that felt uncomfortable or unnerving to the fish, and it would seem like an invisible 'wall' that they wanted to avoid. When the fishermen were not supposed to catch anything, the shoal would be directed to the deepest, least accessible part of the lake.

The next day, the electromagnetic field would be reconfigured so that it was attractive or mimicked the EM signature of a food source. Sounds to attract the fish would also be employed, such as the sounds of a feeding frenzy. The device would then herd every fish in the vicinity directly into the waiting nets of the chosen fishermen.

When Jesus was in one of the cities, a man covered in leprosy saw him, and he fell flat on his face, and Jesus was implored by him, saying, "Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me."

And he stretched out a hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be made clean." And the leprosy instantly departed from him. Jesus told him to tell nobody, but to show himself to the priest to make an offering concerning the cleansing, as Moses commanded.

But news of Jesus continued to spread, and vast crowds of people kept coming together to listen, and to be healed by him from their afflictions. But he would also withdraw into the wilderness and pray, whereupon conditions were ideal for any updated mental programming that would help him perform his duties.

Now even Hellian technology could not instantly cure a human being with leprosy; it would take a matter of hours. Within minutes to hours, every single leprosy bacterium would have been targeted and destroyed after a nanobot swarm had delivered a tailored synthetic antibiotic. It would take hours longer to repair damaged peripheral nerves and to regenerate healthy skin without scars. This might be done overnight.

The extra twist was that electromagnetic fields would target the patient's brain and hypnotize them into imagining that they still had the disease. Then as soon as a Messiah issued a command that they should be "made clean", or to look at their healthy body, or to get up and walk, or to open their eyes and see, depending on the ailment, the spell was broken and the patient realized that they were cured.

In some cases the patient might simply have come up to the Messiah and asked to be cured, and the prompting for this would also be part of the mental programming. In other cases, the patient, known in the community as suffering from some particular ailment, would interact with the Messiah in the presence of spectators, who would be led to believe that the patient had only just been cured as the Messiah laid on hands or commanded them to be clean or to rise up, etc.. They would see the patient amazed at suddenly discovering that they had been healed, and not realize that it was done in advance.

One day when Christ was teaching, there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, and men were carrying on a bed a man who had been paralyzed, and they were trying to bring him in and lay him down in front of Jesus. Because of the crowd, they couldn't find a way in, and so they went up on the rooftop and let him down with the bed, right in front of Jesus.

And Jesus said, "Man, you have been forgiven for your sins." And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, asking who was this who spoke blasphemies, and who but their god was able to forgive sins.

Then Jesus said, "Why are you making reasoning in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, 'You have been forgiven for your sins,' or to say, 'Rise up and walk'? But so that you might know that the Son of Man has authority on Earth to forgive sins..."

...he said to the paralyzed man, "I say to you, rise up and take your bed. Go to your home."

And at once, rising up before them, he took up what he had been lying on, and he departed to his home, glorifying his god.

And amazement seized hold of everybody, and they glorified their god, and they were afraid, saying, "We have seen strange things today."

Then Jesus went out and looked at a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he left everything behind, rose up and followed him.

And Levi put on a large banquet for him in his own house, and a large company of tax collectors and others were sitting down with them.

And their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collector and sinners?" And he said to them, "Those who are in good health have no need of a physician, only those having a sickness. I have come to call not the righteous, but sinners into repentance."

One Sabbath Jesus was passing through the grain fields, and his disciples were plucking the ears of corn and rubbing them with their hands. And some of the Pharisees, a none-too-smart people who were still in the grip of Yahweh's odious deceit and disinformation, asked them, "Why do you do what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

He replied, "Have you not read this, what David did when he was hungry, himself, and those who were in company with them, how he went into the House of God and took the consecrated loaves, and gave some also to those who were with him, which is not lawful to eat, except only by the priests?" And he declared, "The Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath."

Then on another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and was teaching. And a man was there and his right hand was withered. The scribes and Pharisees were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, and they were watching to see if he would heal on the Sabbath. But he knew their game, and said to the man with the withered hand, "Rise up and stand among us in the center." And he rose up and was standing.

Then Jesus said to those watching, "I will ask you something. Is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good or to do evil, to save or to kill?" And looking around at them all, he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand."

And he did so, and the hand was fully restored, as whole as the other. But the scribes and Pharisees were filled with rage, and talked to one another about what they might do to Jesus.

Now even a Type II civilization's nanotech could not rejuvenate a human hand in seconds; it would take a matter of hours. As with other healings, the physical process was carried out in the preceding hours, mostly overnight, and mental conditioning prevented the patient from recognizing that they had been cured until there was some cue to break them out of the mesmerizing spell. And the man with the withered hand was known as such in the community, but he felt ashamed at the condition of the hand and would keep it out of sight when in public, such as in a pocket. When he stretched out his mended hand for all to see, he and the others were under the impression that he had just been healed at that moment.

One night Jesus was praying up in the mountain, and then when day broke he called his disciples and chose twelve from among them, whom he called apostles. There was Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, and John; Philip and Bartholomew; Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon called the Zealot; Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Then Jesus came down with them and stepped on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples were there, along with a huge crowd of the people from Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be healed of their various afflictions, physical and mental. The whole crowd wanted to touch him, since it was as if power was coming from him to heal them.

Then Jesus raised his eyes towards his disciples and gave a speech about how fortunes would change for the poor, hungry and weeping, and how those who were hated and targeted for their support of the "Son of Man" would be blessed. And he said the wealthy, the satiated, and the merry-makers would also find their fortunes reversed.

The problem was that this was too idealistic. There was some absolute nonsense and codswallop, which would lead to evildoers enjoying far too much success over the next 2,000 years. He advocated that his followers should love their enemies, do good to those who hate them, and speak well of those who cursed them. If someone struck them on the cheek, they should offer the other cheek too. If a thief stole from them, they should offer him more loot, and not demand it back. They should not judge, they should not condemn evil, and they should forgive evildoers.

There were some good points about not being hypocritical and about a bad tree never bearing good fruit, although this final point contradicted the avoidance of judgment or condemnation.

Christ was created to reverse the terrible trail of destruction, hatred and imbecility that Yahweh had wreaked. But what should have happened was the elimination of the supremacist way of thinking, in which one specific group - Yahweh's supporters - regarded themselves as supreme, the chosen ones, and perceived everyone else as the equivalent of cockroaches or locusts. The correct approach would have been to isolate and contain the supremacist haters and let them do whatever they wished to each other, but not under any circumstances to grant them access to normal, innocent people.

And then the normal people, the vast bulk of humanity, should live by the golden rule and do unto others as they would want to be treated themselves. They should treat people fairly, kindly, and with respect - but after a person initiated violence, or stole, or carried out some crime, the culprit should face justice not forgiveness.

The Father had given the following prompt regarding electromagnetic signals that would be directed at his protégé's brain for thirty years: "Program the Christ's mind with an ideology that counters Yahweh's hate-filled, avaricious, materialistic, prejudiced, supremacist, destructive way of thinking." This was really too vague, although even for Type II technology, programming a developing brain is not an exact science, and there would be no guarantee of better results by asking for some more specific beliefs.

If Christ had managed to convince everyone that everything about Yahweh's demented, perverted grip on his followers' behavior was so gravely wrong that it would constitute an existential threat to humanity, that would have been great, although then there is the problem of trying to wake people up too quickly, and telling them everything they have been taught is a lie, when they need to realize it of their own volition, simply by observing the state of the world around them. As a famous writer would say nearly 1,900 years later, "How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!"

In a bizarre coincidence, a similar limitation of artificial intelligence and prompt engineering would manifest around two thousand years later, after a tiny illegitimate, apartheid terror state that had already perpetrated almost 300 separate assassination incidents over the decades would slaughter a famous conservative political activist in its largest satellite state, after his support for the terrorist state began to waver.

The cover-up included framing the hit on some young leftist in his twenties, who allegedly had a transgender lover also in its twenties. A retarded elderly female FBI agent who used to be a cop asked an AI chatbot to write a supposed series of text messages between two lovers in their twenties, which featured "retrieving" a rifle from a "drop point", having to avoid a "squad car", a "vehicle" that was "lingering", and having to change "outfits". The chatbot confused lovers in their 20s with lovers in the 20s, i.e., the 1920s. But this slip-up would help to awaken people to the deceptions.

There would also be a preposterous assertion that a 30-06 round, which can penetrate about 12.7mm of armor steel at 100 meters, was "stopped" by the assassinated man's bone because it was so healthy and impressively dense. Now the density of steel is 7,850 kg/m³ and the density of human bone is around 1,100 kg/m³, yet these people never let facts get in the way of a good story.

After delivering his speech, Christ went into Capernaum. There was a certain centurion's servant with a sickness, and apparently about to die. On hearing about Jesus he sent the elders of the Judahites to him, begging him that he might come and cure his servant. When they met Jesus they begged him with urgency, saying that the one who needed healing was worthy for he loved their nation and built the synagogue for them.

Jesus was going towards the house, but whilst not far away, the centurion sent word saying, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy that you should come underneath my own roof, so neither do I consider myself worthy to come to you. You speak a word though, and my servant will soon be healed." He added about how he could give orders and delegate work to those under him, and they would obey.

When Jesus heard this he was astonished, and turned to the crowd, saying, "I say to you, not even in Israel have I seen such faithfulness." And those who had been sent returned to the house and found the sick servant in good health.

This was one of Christ's easiest tricks. The Hellian antibiotics had been working for hours overnight, and as the others returned to the house, it was as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders, and their confidence helped the servant realize how much better he was feeling.

Then soon afterwards Jesus went into a town called Nain, and many of his disciples and a large crowd went with him. When he drew near the gate of the town an apparently dead man was being carried out, an only son of his mother who was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her.

When Jesus saw her he said, "Do not weep". And coming forward he touched the coffin, and the coffin bearers stood still. Then he said, "Young man, I say to you, rise up."

The illness was not terminal, but as the young man was recovering the Father's nanobots had entered his body and essentially administered an anesthetic that put him to sleep. There were 'locust' drones observing the surroundings, and as the mother was approaching the drones signaled to the nanobots, which carefully induced a brief, controlled clinical 'death' by a temporary cessation of heartbeat and respiration. As soon as the mother or relative departed from the vicinity, heartbeat and respiration were restored.

This was repeated where necessary, and when it was time for the 'restoration' of life, the anesthetic was replaced by a cocktail of hormones and neurotransmitters, so that the son awakened feeling blissful and pain-free, with the nanites restoring control to the body's own control systems.

Even Type II technology could not prevent substantial ischemic damage accruing to a carbon-based lifeform under hours of cessation of heartbeat and respiration, without freezing down at least to dry ice temperature (-78.5°C or ~195K), and then there would be the problem of restoring freezing damage and how to maintain such a temperature in a simple coffin. The slowdown of reaction rates according to the Arrhenius equation for a 10°C reduction is generally around a factor of two. For example, a reduction from 20°C to 10°C when the activation energy is 40 kJ/mol is a factor of 1.786, or for activation energy of 100 kJ/mol is a factor of 4.265. Either way, this isn't enough to keep alive a person whose vital signs have ceased for hours.

So the 'dead' man rose up, and began to speak. Then Jesus presented him to his mother.

Awe and fear gripped everybody, and they glorified their god, saying, "An eminent prophet has been raised among us", and God has visited his people." And the report about Jesus circulated in all of Judea and the surrounding region.

And the disciples of John the Baptist informed him about these things. Then John, calling a certain couple of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, to ask, "Are you the Coming One, or are we to look for another?"

And in that hour, he healed many from diseases and plagues and 'evil spirits', and enabled many blind to see. This was carried out as he had performed previous 'healings', but the variety and quantity this time was particularly impressive, and quite a spectacle for John the Baptist's followers.

So he replied, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is preached to the poor. And blessed is he who might not be made to stumble in me."

And after the messengers of John had departed, he began to speak to the crowds about John, declaring that nobody born of a woman was a more exalted prophet than John, but that he who was least in the "Kingdom of God" was more exalted than he was. Then all of those hearing who had been immersed by John declared God as just. But the Pharisees and the scholars rejected that, and they had not been baptized by John.

Christ described the men of that generation as being like little children sitting in a marketplace who call out to each other and say, "We played the flute to you and you did not dance; we played a lament to you and you did not weep." He said that John came neither eating or drinking yet was accused of demonic possession, and he, the "Son of Man", came eating and drinking, and was accused of being a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. And he added that wisdom was vindicated by all her children.

And one of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, so he went into the Pharisee's house. As he was sitting down, a woman in the town who was a sinner came to know that he was sitting down to eat in the house of the Pharisee, and brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and stationed herself behind him at his feet, weeping. She began to wet his feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment.

On seeing this, the Pharisee who was his host said to himself, "This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner this woman is who touched him, that she is a sinner."

"There were two debtors to a certain creditor. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty, but they were unable to repay him, and he freely forgave both of them. Which one, then, will love him more?"

And in answer, Simon said, "I suppose it is he for which he freely forgave the more."

And turning towards the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house. You gave me no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not greet me with a kiss, but she has not stopped kissing my feet since I arrived. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, for the reason she has strong love. But he for whom little has been forgiven loves little."

And those eating together with him began to say among themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?"

Then afterwards he went traveling through every town and village, announcing and proclaiming the gospel of the "Kingdom of God". The twelve apostles were with him, along with certain women who had been cured from "evil spirits" and infirmities. There was Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had reportedly gone out, and Joanna, wife of Chuza (a manager of Herod), and Susannah, and many others who were providing for them from their own resources.

When a large crowd was assembling together and people from town to town kept coming to him he spoke by means of a parable: "A sower went out to sow his seed, and in his sowing some fell at the roadside, where it was trampled on, and the birds of the sky devoured it. And some fell on a rock, and on sprouting it dried up, on account of lacking moisture. And some fell in the middle of thorn bushes, and the thorn bushes sprang up together and stifled it. And other seed fell on good soil and sprang up and produced fruit, a hundredfold."

And having declared this, he called out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

And he said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God; to the rest, though, in parables, so that:

"Now the parable signifies this: The seed represents the word of God. And those by the roadside represent those who hear, then the devil comes and takes the words away from their heart, so that, having believed, they cannot be saved. And those on the rock represent those who hear, they receive the word with gladness, but they have no root, who believe for a season, but in a time of trial they fall away.

"And that which fell among the thorn bushes represent those who have heard and, under worries, riches or pleasures of life going on their way, they become stifled and bring no fruit to maturity. But that seed in the good soil represents those who with a noble and good heart have heard the word and keep it secure, and produce fruit in patient endurance."

Apart from discussing the spreading of his message with his sower parable, Christ said that a lit lamp was always placed so that those who enter might see the light, and that nothing was hidden or kept secret which would not be brought to light. So they should consider how they listen, for whoever has, to him it will be given, and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken from him.

Rather than concentrate so much about marketing and spreading the message, it would have been better to get the message right - that Yahweh's 'teachings' were not only wrong, but evil. But then again, there is the problem of how to convince a people that they have been fooled.

Then Christ's mother and brothers came to him, and they were not able to meet him because of the crowd. And this was reported to him, that his mother and brothers were standing outside, wanting to see him. And he said, "My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and are carrying it out."

One day Jesus and his disciples went into a boat, and he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side of the lake." Then they put out to sea, but as they were sailing he fell into a sleep and a stormy wind came down onto the lake, and the boat was being swamped and in danger.

They went to him and said, "Master, Master, we're perishing!" And then, being roused, he rebuked the wind and the roughness of the waters, and the storm ceased and all became calm.

And he said to them, "Where is your faithfulness?" And being afraid they marveled, saying to each other, "Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him?"

Now the Father had a drone of radius ~10m that was solar-powered for flight, and equipped with a directed energy beam powered by antimatter. The DE beam could deliver focused microwaves to efficiently deliver momentum to air and water molecules without causing significant heating.

The drone flew over the lake and delivered the beam, scanning in a pattern across the lake. As it moved it dragged air along with it, creating a powerful, localized wind shear and whipping up waves. Chaotic, storm-like conditions were created over the boat, and by initiating rotation in the air column a vortex like a small waterspout was formed.

When the 'locust' drones relayed information to the controllers over at the Anti-Viper command center, of how Jesus had "rebuked" the wind and the waters, the DE beam was simply turned off, and the storm dissipated as the drone returned to base.

Now the cylinder of air to be moved was about 100m in diameter and 100m tall over the lake, and so the volume of air is π (50m)² x 100m = ~785,000m³. Given the density at near sea level of ~1.2 kg/m³, the mass of air is ~942,000kg. To get the air moving at 20m/s the kinetic energy needed is ½ x 942,000kg x (20m/s)² = ~188,000,000J = 188MJ.

At 50% efficiency the energy produced by annihilating 2.2 micrograms of antimatter with 2.2 micrograms of matter is 0.5 x 4.4x10^-9 kg x (299,792,458m/s)² = ~1.98x10⁸J, sufficient for the task.

There are other versions of this lake tale, in which Jesus remains on the shore, and then walks on the water to join his companions on the boat, with one variation even having Peter leave the boat to walk on the water to meet Jesus. Now these are not what actually happened; the apparent ability of Christ to command the weather was sufficient to impress the disciples, and the "walking on water" was a myth that developed in the oral traditions after some wanted to embellish the narrative.

The Anti-Viper team did have plenty of technology to enhance the spectacle. They could have had Jesus remain on land, and as he is alone, the wind is whipped up around the boat by the first drone, then a second drone switches on a 'Jesus' hologram, 'walking' on the water, as the real Jesus is transported across to the boat in a cloaked drone, rendered invisible by a gentle fog. Parametric speakers from a third drone provide all the audio from conversations of 'water walking' men.

Nanites have entered Peter and put him into a temporary sleep, as the 'Jesus' hologram starts to claim, "I am he". A swarm of nanobots is deployed from the boat's vicinity, which forms a temporary walking replica of Peter. The fake 'Peter' replies, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you over the water." And the 'Jesus' character says, "Come".

The nanobots swarm can manipulate its surface to create the appearance of feet impacting the water, and generate small splashes. As part of the spectacle, as the two figures approach each other, the 'Peter' can briefly 'start to sink' by having the nanobots temporarily lose cohesion below the surface, and then restabilize, with the 'Peter' saying he is afraid, and the 'Jesus' making some comment about "Ye of little faith." They meet and go to the boat. As they get there, the real Peter awakes, the real Jesus is lowered aboard, the hologram fades out and the nanobots apparition disassembles. The real Peter might have found that a dream had been induced in him about 'walking on water'.

But these ancient boats were only about four feet in height; they didn't have a separate living quarters below deck where someone could be sleeping as the others all went out to watch a hologram. In the simple version, there is no need for any induction of dreams, cloaking subterfuge, or multiple large drones. The drone with DE beam starts the storm as Jesus is asleep, and a micro-drone relays back information on when Jesus rebukes the waves and it is time to stop the wind.

Next they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which was opposite Galilee. And on disembarking onto the land, a certain man met Jesus, having had 'demons' for a long time, and he was wearing no outer garments, and was homeless; he lived among the tombs.

When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, shouting in a loud voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you not to torture me!" For Jesus had commanded the 'unclean spirit' to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the 'spirit' into solitary places.

And Jesus asked him what was his name, and he replied, "Legion", for many 'demons' had supposedly gone into him. And he begged him that he would not command them to go out into the abyss.

Now there was a considerable herd of pigs feeding there on the mountain, and they asked him if he would allow them to go into them, and he allowed them. Then the 'demons' appeared to come out of the man and into the pigs, and the herd ran violently down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.

When those who fed the pigs saw it happen, they fled and told their tale in the town and in the fields. Then the others went to see what was happening. and they came to Jesus and found the man who was mentally sick seated at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and of sound mind, and they were afraid. And those who had seen this reported how the apparently 'demon-possessed' man had been healed.

However, the whole populace of the Gerasenes region asked Jesus to depart from them, because they were afraid, so he embarked on a boat and went back. And the healed man begged Jesus to let him join him, but Jesus sent him away, telling him to return to his home - he did not actually have a home but at least now had better prospects for obtaining one - and relate what mighty things "God" had done for him. So he went on his way, proclaiming throughout the whole town what mighty things Jesus had done for him.

As with previous cases, the character was well known as a lunatic or 'possessed' man, but the healing therapy had already started, well in advance of the public healing event. With the parametric speakers directed exactly onto the "possessed" man's head, to generate the 'voice' of the so-called "demons", the man believed himself to be still 'possessed', but on seeing the 'demons' appear to move over to the herd of pigs, this served as the trigger to enable him to realize than he was now mentally fit, and the whole incident served as an apparently supernatural event in the view of the onlookers who fed the pigs.

A directed energy beam was focused on the pigs, creating an unbearable sensation of internal heating, and in a panic the herd ran down into the lake.

When Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they had all been waiting for him. And then a synagogue leader named Jair came and fell at Jesus' feet. He begged him to come to his house, because his only daughter, who was about twelve, was dying. But as he went on, the people were pressing him, and a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years, who had spent all her money on physicians, yet none was able to heal her, came from behind and touched the hem of his garment, and 'instantly' her bleeding stopped.

The healing had been carried out in the preceding hours, and after touching Jesus' garment she realized that she was indeed cured.

And Jesus asked who was touching him. When everyone was making denials, Peter and those with him said, "Master, the crowd throngs and presses, yet you ask who was touching you."

And Jesus said, "Someone was touching me, for I perceived power going out of me."

And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared to him in front of all the people for what reason she had touched him, and how she was healed 'instantly'.

And he said to her, "Be of good courage, daughter. Your faithfulness has saved you. Go in peace."

The "power going out" act was just part of the show. Christ would have known that with all the crowd pressing around and the way he was apparently able to 'heal' people, there would almost certainly have been one or more who found themselves healed after touching him, and a good chance that at least one of these would own up and admit it was them.

While he was still speaking, someone arrived from the house of the synagogue president, saying to him, "Your daughter has died. Do not trouble the Teacher."

But when he heard, Jesus answered him, saying, "Do not fear. Only believe, and she will be restored."

And as he went into the house, he would not allow anybody else to enter except for Peter, John and James (also known as Jacob) and the father and mother of the girl.

Everyone was sobbing and mourning over her, but he said, "Do not weep. She is not dead, but sleeping."

This was quite true, since nanobots had generated an anesthetic, which were unknown in their society at that time, and to the few witnesses, the failure to arouse would have seemed like a state of death. They were ridiculing Jesus, feeling sure that she had died.

Then he ordered them to go outside, and took her by the hand, calling out, "Child, rise up."

And she rose up and he directed that something should be given to her to eat. Her parents were astounded, but he told them to tell nobody about what had happened, knowing that they would be unable to resist revealing their secret for long.

Then he called the twelve apostles together, and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. And he authorized them to proclaim the "Kingdom of God". In other words, he simply taught them how to perform his trick, of giving a person recently cured of mental or physical disease the confidence to break out of their spell of imaging that they were still sick.

He told them to travel light, not to take staffs nor a travel sack, nor bread nor money, nor a spare undergarment. And whatever house they might go into, they should stay there and depart from there. And if someone chose not to receive them, as they left the town they should even shake off the dust from their feet, as a testimony against them.

So they departed, and passed through the villages, proclaiming the gospel, and healing people everywhere.

When Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by Jesus, he was bewildered since some said that John had been raised from the dead, some said that Elijah had appeared, and others said that some other ancient prophet had risen. And Herod said, "I beheaded John, but who is this whom I hear about performing such acts?" And he looked into seeing him.

And on returning to Jesus, the apostles related to him what they had done. Taking them away privately, he withdrew to a town called Bethsaida. But the crowds found out and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the "Kingdom of God", and he cured those who needed healing.

Then the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, so that they might go into the surrounding villages and fields for lodgings and provisions. For we are in a deserted place here."

Then they replied, "There are no more than five loaves and two fish for us, unless we go and buy food for all these people." For there were about five thousand men.

He told his disciples to make them sit down in groups of fifty, so they did that, and made them sit down. Then he took the five loaves and two fish, and, looking up towards the sky, he blessed them, and broke them up, and gave them to the disciples to place before the crowd. And they ate, and were filled, and twelve hand baskets of fragments were gathered up.

The Anti-Viper group had deployed a drone of radius 2m, with an average height of 1m; hence the internal volume was ~12.6m³. For a decent meal for everyone, each got almost 1kg of crumbs of bread and fish paste that had been synthesized aboard a larger drone. The total mass of the payload was 5,000 kg, including the leftovers for the twelve hand baskets. Given 450 kg/m³ as the density of breadcrumbs, the required volume was ~11.1m³, leaving some spare space for fixtures and fittings such as a compact matter/antimatter cell and a LIDAR system to identify the hundred groups, so that the crumbs could be released and dispersed in a controlled shower. There was a slight electrostatic charge added to the crumbs to prevent clumping and aid in guiding.

Apart from nearly 1% of the payload dispersed over each group, a surplus was released over the whole area, so that when everybody had eaten their fill, a surplus could be seen, which was gathered up in twelve hand baskets.

Subsequently it came about, as Jesus was alone praying with the disciples, he questioned them, asking, "Whom do the crowds pronounce me to be?"

Then in answer, they confirmed the belief of Herod the tetrarch. They said that some believed Jesus was John the Baptist, others believed him to be Elijah, and others thought that some other ancient prophet had arisen.

Then, making a strict warning for them to tell nobody, he said, "It is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and senior priests and scribes, and to be murdered, and to rise on the third day."

Jesus didn't know the future at this point or exactly when he would be killed, but he did know that there was a strong possibility that the ruling class would try to eliminate him. And rather than try to avoid such a fate, he would actively encourage it, since his killing would do more to spread his message than an additional decade or two of proselytizing. And spreading his word was what he regarded as his main purpose. The part about "rising" on the third day was a fiction, but the removal of his corpse by some of the Father's robots would serve to convey the legend of an "ascension".

And he said to everybody, "If anybody wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and he must take up his cross, and let him follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever might suffer the loss of his life on account of me will save it. For how is a man profited if he gains the whole world, but has suffered the loss of himself?

"For whoever might have been ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he will come in the glory of himself and the Father and the holy angels. But truly I say unto you, there are some of these standing here who will most certainly not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God."

He knew that if any of the others followed him in becoming martyrs, then that would also be great for spreading the message, if not for the individual who got themselves killed. But he probably sincerely believed in life after death.

About eight days later, he took Peter, John and James, and he went up into the mountain to pray. And in his praying the appearance of his face changed and his clothing flashed like lightning. Then two men were talking with him, who appeared to be Moses and Elijah, who, being seen in radiance, were speaking of his death that he was about to accomplish in Jerusalem. But Peter and the others were sleepy, and on fully waking, they saw his radiance, and the two men who stood with him.

And as they were departing from him, Peter, not understanding the implications of his suggestion, said, "Master, it's good for us to be here, so let us make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

But as he was speaking, a cloud materialized and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they went into the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, the Richly Loved. Listen to him."

And then Jesus was seen alone. And they kept silent, and did not tell anyone else of what they imagined they had seen.

Peter and the others would not have known what Moses and Elijah looked like, so the words sounding from the Father's parametric speakers must have provided the clue as to who the two characters from the hologram projector were supposed to be. The show was merely about reinforcing the faithfulness and beliefs of Peter, John and James.

Then the next day, as they came down down from the mountain, a large crowd met them. And a man from the crowd called out to the "Teacher", imploring him to look at his only son who was taken by a 'spirit' that would suddenly call out and throw him into convulsions with foaming. He said the disciples had been unable to perform any cure.

And in answer, Jesus said, "Oh unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be among you and bear with you? Bring your son here."

Then as he was still approaching, the 'demon' appeared to dash the child down and violently convulse him, and Jesus rebuked the 'unclean spirit', did the routine of 'healing' the child, and handed him back to his father.

The child had been having episodes of seizure, caused by abnormal, excessive, or synchronous neuronal firing. The salivary glands were affected, causing foaming at the mouth, and a split personality would sometimes cause the child to call out in a strange voice. Over the preceding hours, the nanobots had performed repairs to the brain, but just for the audience, a final short-lived seizure was induced just before the 'healing' was popularly assumed to have occurred.

So the people were again struck with wonder at the power and majesty of their 'god'.

But as they were all wondering at everything Jesus did, he said to his disciples, "Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men." And they did not understand what he meant by that remark, and they were afraid to ask him for clarification.

Then a discussion among them arose about who of them might be the more eminent. And Jesus perceived their dispute, and he took a child and set it beside himself, and he said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who authorized me, for the one subsisting as lowliest among you all, this one will be eminent."

And John answered, "Master, we saw somebody expelling demons in your name, and we stopped him, because he does not follow in company with us."

And Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid him, for whoever is not against us is for us." It would be less than 2,000 years later when a certain evil, none-too-bright president would use this sort of binary logic rhetoric in support of his warmongering.

Then as he felt the time of his sacrifice was drawing near, Christ resolved to go to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him. And they went and came into a Samaritan village, so as to make preparation for him, but they did not receive him as he was heading for Jerusalem.

And when his disciples James and John saw, they said, "Lord, do you wish that we should call fire down from the sky and consume them, just as Elijah also did?"

They had a lot to learn about the wickedness of Yahweh. Then Christ turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what manner of spirit you are. For the Son of Man has come not to destroy men's lives, but to save."

And they went off into a different village. And as they were going along the road, somebody said to him, "Lord, I will follow you wherever you go."

Then Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."

But Jesus told him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go your own way. Proclaim the kingdom of God."

Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me say goodbye to my family."

Then Jesus declared, "No one who puts his hand to the plow, while gazing at the things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God."

After this Christ appointed seventy others too, and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place he was about to visit. And he told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest.

"Go your ways. I am sending you out like lambs in the thick of wolves. Carry no purse, nor travel sack, nor sandals. Do not greet anyone along the road.

"And whatever house you enter, first say 'Peace to this house'." He continued by telling them to remain in the same house, and eat the food they were given, provided that the people received them. They should also heal the sick, and tell them that the "Kingdom of God" had drawn near to them.

However, if a town did not receive them, they should go into its streets and say that even the dust out of the town they were wiping off against the people, but they should still be told that the "Kingdom of God" had drawn close to them. And for such people, their fate at the judgment would be intolerable, for if they rejected the disciples, then they rejected Christ, and they rejected the Father who authorized him.

And the seventy returned with exuberance, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us through your name." The Anti-Viper team's 'locust' drones, nanobots, brainwave modulators, parametric speakers, and associated technology had been working the same 'magic' as they had with Jesus.

Jesus said to them, "I saw the enemy falling like lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing will harm you in any way." This was actually more lies than truth, but part of the agenda. He told them not to rejoice in the serpents being under their power, but to rejoice because their names were written among the exalted.

Then he rejoiced in spirit, and praised the Father for hiding things from the sophisticated and the cunning, but revealing them to infants, since this was pleasing to the Father.

And he turned to the disciples and said, "All things were delivered to me by my Father, and nobody knows who the Son is except for the Father, and who the Father is except for the Son, and to whomever the Son wishes to make the revelation."

And he said, "Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings have longed to see what you see and they have not seen, and to hear what you hear and they have not heard." Unlike the prophets and kings, the disciples had experienced some of the role of Christ, in feeling that they had 'healed' people from physical and mental disorders, although in reality all of the healing was conducted in advance by the technology of a Type II civilization that had been harvesting energy from their sun for more than a billion years.

Then a certain scholar in the law stood up, and asked what he must do to inherit eternal life. Christ asked him what had been written in the law, and how did he read it. The man replied, saying, "You should love the Lord your God with all your heart, and out of all your inner being, and out of all your strength, and out of all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself."

Originally, this "law" had been written so that "the Lord your God" was the evil Yahweh, which anybody of any reasonable intellect and moral fiber should have hated with all their heart, mind, inner being and strength. Now Yahweh had left Earth, and the new guy had taken over, who was a great improvement over Yahweh, although that was a very low bar.

Jesus told a story about a man who had been set upon by bandits whilst traveling from Jerusalem into Jericho, and left half dead. There was a certain priest going down by that road, but when he saw him, he passed by on the opposite side. In the same way, there was also a Levite, who came and saw him but passed by on the opposite side. This would be entirely as expected, unless the Levite thought he could profit somehow from the opportunity, e.g., politically by having a warmongering, nation-wrecking puppet under his thumb, as would come to pass in 1997AD in an island called Britain.

Christ continued his tale with a certain Samaritan on a journey coming down to the robbed, assaulted man, then becoming moved with compassion, so that he dressed his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper with the instructions to take care of him, and on his return the Samaritan would repay him for any additional expense.

Christ asked the scholar which of these three did he think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers.

And it so happened that as they proceeded on their way, Christ went into a certain village, and a woman named Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary who sat at Christ's feet listening to his discourse. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations to be made. She came to him and said, "Lord, is it of no concern to you that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her that she should help me."

"Martha, Martha," he replied, "you are anxious and agitated about many things. But only one thing is necessary, and Mary has chosen the good portion, and it will not be taken away from her."

And when he was praying in a certain place, when he had finished, one of his disciples asked him to teach them to pray, as John had also taught his disciples.

"Our Father in the heavens,
Hallowed be your name,
May your kingdom come,
May your will be brought to pass,
On Earth as it is in Heaven,
Give us each day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And bring us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil."

And Christ told them a parable about persistence and how a friend would eventually give what was being asked for. He said, "Ask, and it will be given to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. For everybody who asks, receives; he who looks finds, and to him who knocks, it will be opened." And he went on to say that the Father from Heaven would give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.

Elsewhere this might be described as hopium, but it's still better advice than any of the anti-human duplicity and quackery from Yahweh.

Then he was supposedly driving out a demon. The mentally ill man had been a dumb mute, but was now cured, and began speaking. The crowds were amazed.

Then some said that he was driving out demons through the agency of Beelzebub, prince of the demons. And others were putting him to the test, looking for a sign from him out of Heaven.

Knowing their purposes, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to ruin, and a house against a house falls." And he went on to ask how could the enemy's kingdom stand if it was divided amongst itself, and stated that he who was not with him was against him.

Christ then claimed that after an "empty spirit" had gone away from a man, it would roam about looking for rest, then not finding any, it would go back to the 'house' where it came from. And, on finding it swept and adorned, it would bring seven different spirits more wicked along with itself, so that the man's state would be worse than before. Of course, this was preposterous speculation and had zero evidence to support it, but could be used to 'explain' any relapses as somehow not the fault of Christ or the 'healer'.

Then a certain woman spoke out, raising her voice in the crowd, and said, "Joyful is the womb that gave birth to you and breasts that you suckled."

And as the crowds were thickly gathered together, he said that this was an "evil generation" that was looking for a sign, and the only sign given to it would be that of the prophet Jonah. But as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so would the "Son of Man" be a sign to his generation. And the Queen of Sheba (or of the South) would be raised up in the "judgment" with the men of this generation, and she would condemn them, for she came from the ends of the Earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now one more eminent than Solomon was here.

And men of Nineveh would stand up as witnesses in the judgment with this generation, and they would condemn it because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and now one more important than Jonah was here.

And he advanced a notion that the eye was the "lamp of the body", and that when the eye was evil the body would be in darkness.

Then a certain Pharisee invited him to have dinner with him, and he went in and was reclining. But the Pharisee was surprised that he had not first performed washings before the dinner.

Christ said to him, "Look now, you Pharisees ceremonially clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but the inside of you is full of robbery and evil. You fools! Did he who made the outside not also make the inside? But rather, give donations to the poor from the things internal, and then all things become clean to you.

"But woe to you, Pharisees! For you pay tithes of mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. It would have been good to do these things without leaving aside the others.

"Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the privileged seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are like unmarked graves, which people walk over without knowing it."

Then in answer, one of the scholars of Yahweh's vile law said to him, "Teacher, in saying these things, you insult us as well."

And he said, "Woe to you also, scholars of the law. For you load men with burdens heavy to bear, and you yourselves will not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

"Woe to you. For you found the graves of the prophets, and your fathers murdered them. Consequently, you testify and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they murdered them and you found their graves.

"And because of this, the wisdom of God said 'I will assign prophets and apostles to them, but some of them they will murder and persecute', so that this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets poured out since the earliest times, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zecharia who perished between the altar and the Sanctuary."

Christ had read about these characters in the scriptures, and was unaware that those such as Abel, dated much earlier than Terah, which was around the time when Yahweh arrived on Earth to humanity's great detriment, were nothing more than pure fiction, generated by Yahweh's Large Language Models (LLMs). He was unaware that stories from the later 'prophets' such as Jonah were mostly, if not all, made up fairy tales.

Christ added quite correctly that the scholars of the law had taken away the key of knowledge; they did not enter in any themselves, and they held back those that were entering in. Of course, that was part of Yahweh's agenda to ruin and sabotage the course of humanity's progress.

As he was saying these things, the scribes and Pharisees grew very angry, and were trying to draw him out on many things, lying in wait for him, looking to catch him out on something so that they could accuse him.

In the meantime, myriads of the crowd were gathered together, and he began to say to his disciples that they should be vigilant for themselves against the yeast of the Pharisees, which was their hypocrisy. Anything concealed or hidden would become revealed, whereas the disciples' words would become shouted from the rooftops. They should not fear those who would kill them and after that could do no more, but they should fear the one who had the authority to throw them into hell.

Christ said that they should not be fearful, for each of them was of far more worth than five sparrows which would sell for two assarions (which were about one-sixteenth to one-tenth of a denarion - or denarius, a daily wage), since every hair on their head was numbered. But those who acknowledged him in the presence of men would be acknowledged by the Son of Man in the presence of the angels of "God", and those who disowned him in the presence of men would be utterly disowned in the presence of the angels.

If someone spoke ill of the Son of Man, it would be forgiven him, but for him who spoke injuriously against the "Holy Spirit", it would not be forgiven. And if they were brought before the synagogues, the rulers and the authorities, the Holy Spirit would guide them in what to say in their defense.

Then someone in the crowd asked Christ, "Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me."

And he told them to keep themselves from covetousness, for anybody's life did not consist in the abundance of possessions. But even two thousand years later, Yahweh's worshipers would gladly kill people for profit.

Then he spoke a parable to the crowd about a rich man who decided to tear down his granaries and build bigger ones, then gather up there all his produce and good things. Then he would live a life of ease, eat, drink and be merry. And "God" said to him, "Fool! This night they demand your life from you. Then where will these things be that you have prepared?" Christ said that is how it would be with him who hoarded up for himself and was not bountiful towards his 'god'.

And he told his disciples that they should not think about their lives, what they would eat or how they would clothe themselves. For life was more than food, and the body more than clothing. Instead, they should look for the "Kingdom of God", and they would be provided with what they needed. He advocated that they should sell their possessions, and give donations to the poor. They should provide for themselves a treasure in "the heavens" where a thief could not approach, or a moth could not destroy.

After delivering a couple more parables, Christ said that he came to Earth to create division rather than to deliver peace. There would be five in one house, three divided against two, and two divided against three. Father and son would be at odds with each other, and mother would be against daughter, and mother-in-law against daughter-in-law.

This is not how it was supposed to be. Yahweh's supporters were the ones fomenting wars and sowing division, and the solution was - and more importantly, is - to isolate and confine Yahweh's supporters in some location where they are deprived of access to the rest of humanity. A parasite has no automatic right of access to its natural host, a merciless psychopath has no automatic right of access to normal, compassionate human beings, and a pervert has no automatic right of access to the vulnerable and the innocent.

Just as confining and isolating the smallpox virus was a sensible act, it is also beneficial for the vast majority of humanity to isolate and confine those with a proven 4,000-year propensity for evil.

A system where the evildoing predators are handed control of banking, the legacy media, social media, and by extension governments, despite so many eminent historical figures warning humanity about the perils of even allowing the evildoers to play some part in society, with division and debate over whether or not the evildoing predators are really sick and depraved - after they have committed genocide on multiple occasions, fomented world wars and wreaked so much destruction on society!!!!! - is the ultimate in Stockholm Syndrome and gross stupidity.

When psychopaths are allowed to interact with normal people, the psychopaths can only win - and the normal people can only lose, sometimes paying the ultimate price.

Christ did make a sensible point about the futility of people going with their rival to the magistrate, since he might drag them off to the judge, then the judge hand them over to the officer of justice, and the officer throw them into jail, from where they would not be allowed out until they had paid the last penny. It was far better for themselves to judge what was right.

Some who were present at that time told Christ about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus asked them if they thought those were worse sinners than all other Galileans because such things were suffered, and before they could answer, said no, but added that if they did not submit they would likewise suffer destruction.

Then he told a parable about a fig tree that had not produced fruit for three years, and the owner said to the man who took care of the vineyard, "Cut it down. Why does it even waste the ground?" And the man replied, "Sir, let it alone this year as well, until I have dug around it and thrown manure on, and if it should then produce fruit, good, but otherwise we'll cut it down."

And then he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath, and a woman was there who for eighteen years had suffered with an infirmity that caused her to bend over and she could not straighten at all. When Jesus saw her, he called and said to her, "Woman, you have been set free from your infirmity." And he laid hands on her, and at once she was able to straighten and stand upright again, and she glorified her "God".

As with other healings, the nanobots had been working away in the preceding hours, and the pronouncement of the healing and the laying on of hands served as the trigger to snap her out of her temporary illusion of still being disabled.

But since Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the president of the synagogue was answering with resentment, and relayed Yahweh's antihuman, anti-healing absurdity to the crowd about there being six days to work, and that healing should take place on those days.

Then Jesus responded, saying, "Hypocrite! Does each one of you on the Sabbath not loose his ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it a drink? And this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom this affliction has bound for eighteen years, ought she not to be released from this bondage on the Sabbath day?"

And then all those opposed to him were put to shame, and the crowd were rejoicing at his glorious deeds and feats.

Then he told people that the "Kingdom of God" was like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and threw into his grove, and it grew and flourished into a large tree, and the birds of the sky roosted in its branches. And also it was like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour, until it worked all through the dough.

And he traveled throughout the towns and villages teaching, as he made his way to Jerusalem.

He said to them, "Strive to enter through the narrow door, for I tell you, many will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Lord, open the door for us.' But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.' Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.' But he will reply, 'I tell you, I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you workers of iniquity!'

"There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but you yourselves are thrown out. People will come from east and west, and north and south, and will take their places at the Feast in the Kingdom of God. And indeed, there are those who are last who will be first, and there are some who are first who will be last."

On the same day, some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, "Leave this place and go somewhere else, for Herod wants to have you killed."

He replied, "Go and tell that fox, 'Look, I expel demons, and I carry out cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I come to an end.' Nevertheless, I must proceed today and tomorrow and the next day, for it is not accepted for a prophet to die outside Jerusalem.

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, murdering the prophets and stoning those who have been sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing. Look, your house is being left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'."

Then as Jesus went to eat bread in the house of a prominent Pharisee on a certain Sabbath, he was being carefully watched. And there in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy.

Jesus asked the Pharisees and scholars of the law, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" But they remained silent. And taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.

Then he asked them, "If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a pit or well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?" And they had nothing to say.

When he noticed how the guests picked the prime couches at the table, he told them a parable, saying, "When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take a seat in the prime couches, for a person more distinguished than yourself may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this person your seat.' Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place.

"But when you are invited, take a seat in the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."

Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a feast or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous."

When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, "Joyful is he who will eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God."

Jesus replied, "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. And he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' But they all in unison began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to test them. Please excuse me.' And another said, 'I just got married, so I am not able to come'.

"The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' The servant returned later and said, 'Sir, what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.' Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house might be full.'

"For I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet. For many are called, but few are chosen."

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said, "If anyone comes to me and does not love less his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and yes, even their own life, such a person cannot be my disciple. And whoever does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, saying, 'This person began to build but lacked the strength to finish it off.'

"Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won't he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.

"So likewise, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples. Salt is good, but if it becomes insipid, how can it be seasoned? It is fit neither for the land, nor for manure; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Then all the tax collectors and sinners approached him to hear him. But the Pharisees and scribes muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

Then Jesus told them a parable, saying, "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' I tell you that in the same way, there will be more rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous who do not need to repent.

"Or suppose a woman has ten drachmas (silver coins) and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

Jesus said, "The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth living in debauchery. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach from the carob tree pods that the pigs were feeding from, but no one gave him anything.

"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will rise up and go back to my father, and I will say to him, 'Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you, and I no longer deserve to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.'

"So he got up and went to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against Heaven and against you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'

"But the father said to his servants, 'Bring the best robe and clothe him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and be joyful. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

"Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.' But the older brother became angry and refused to go in, so his father went out and pleaded with him.

"But he answered his father, 'Look, all these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'

"The father said, 'My son, you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found'."

Jesus told his disciples, "There was a rich man whose house manager was accused of squandering his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you can no longer be house manager.'

"The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? For my master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg. I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.'

"So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 'A hundred baths of oil,' he replied. The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.'

"Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?' 'A hundred measure of wheat,' he replied. He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eighty.'

"The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. I tell you, gain friends for yourselves out of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.

"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true riches? And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you that which is your own?

"No one can serve two masters, for either you will hate one and love the other, or you will cling to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon."

He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God's sight. The law and the prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and everyone is pressing their way into it. But it is easier for Heaven and Earth to disappear than for one merest ornament of the law to fail."

And he said, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

He said, "There was a rich man who was dressed in a purple robe and fine linen, and lived in luxury every day. And at his porch was a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat from the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, but even the dogs came and licked at his sores.

"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

"He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead'."

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "It's inevitable that snares should come, but woe to whomever they come through. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone turned by a donkey tied around their neck, than to cause one of these lowly people to stumble.

"So watch yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Even if he sins against you seven times in a day and seven times comes back to you saying, 'I repent', you must forgive him.

He replied, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea', and it would obey you. But suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? Won't he rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? I think not. So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty'."

Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled through the center of Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"

When he saw them, he said, "Go and show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.

One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, glorified God in a loud voice. He threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked him, and he was a Samaritan.

Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cured? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God, except this foreigner?"

Then he said to him, "Rise up and go your way; your faithfulness has cured you."

And when he was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The coming of the Kingdom of God does not come with an outward show. Nor will people say, 'Look here', or 'Look there', because the kingdom of God is in your midst."

Then he said to his disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. And they will say to you, 'Look here', or 'Look there!' Do not run off after them or follow them.

"For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

"It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

"It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything.

"Remember Lot's wife! Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left."

"Where, Lord?" they asked. He replied, "Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather."

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable about a widow who kept pestering an unjust judge to grant her justice against her adversary, to show them that they should always pray and not give up, claiming that "God" would see that they get justice, and quickly, but questioned if the Son of Man would find faith on the Earth when he came.

And to some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told a parable about a Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, 'God, I thank you that I am not like other people - robbers, evildoers, adulterers - or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his chest and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'

Christ said that the latter, rather than the former, went home justified before God, since all those who exalt themselves would be humbled, and those who humble themselves would be exalted.

Now people were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but when the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. However, Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Then a certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good, except God alone. You know the commandments: Do not commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal. Do not give false testimony. Honor your father and mother."

When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me."

Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God."

"Truly I tell you," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left a house or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children on account of the Kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come, eternal life."

And having taken the twelve apostles aside, he told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, in order that everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. For he will be delivered over to the hands of the nations, and he will be mocked, insulted, and spat upon. And they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again."

The disciples did not understand any of this. The declaration was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.

The mental programming delivered to Christ had already programmed him, like a "Manchurian Candidate", to do everything he could to ensure he was murdered by his opponents, so that he would become a famous martyr, which would have a much greater effect in disseminating his message, and for a much greater time, than additional years or decades of continuing with his proselytizing and healing activities.

As he saw it, better to go out in a blaze of glory, and leave an aura of mystery, and a legacy of a precocious genius, than risk losing his powers and become known as a has-been, a man who used to be able to heal and deliver astonishing speeches and lectures.

Then as Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. And when he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. They told him, "Jesus the Nazarene is passing by."

Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me!"

Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, "What do you wish that I should do for you?"

And immediately, he was seen to have received his sight and followed Jesus, glorifying God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.

This was done in the same way as other healings, with the nanobots conducting repairs at a cellular level during the preceding hours, but with the afflicted person sent into a temporary trance in which they only realized they had been healed when the healer pronounced them fit.

And Jesus entered Jericho, and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry up and come down, for I must stay at your house today."

All the people saw this and began to murmur, saying, "He has gone to be the guest of a sinner."

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anybody, I will restore four times the amount."

Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to search and to save that which was lost."

While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God was about to appear.

He said, "A certain nobleman went to a distant country to have himself appointed king, and then to return. So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. 'Engage yourself in business and put this money to work,' he said, 'until I come back.'

"But his subjects hated him and they sent a delegation after him to say, 'We don't want this man to be our king.' However, he was made king, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.

"The first one came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned ten more.' His master replied, 'Well done, my good servant. Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.'

"The second came and said, 'Sir, your mina has earned five more.' His master answered, 'You take charge of five cities.'

"Then another servant came and said, 'Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of sweat cloth. I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.'

"His master replied, 'I will condemn you by your own words, wicked servant! You had known that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow. Why, then, didn't you invest my money at a money changer's table, so that on my return, I could have collected it with interest?'

"Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.'

"And the king replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, it will be given, and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. But as for those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me'."

As he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the hill known as the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village opposite, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say, 'The Lord needs it'."

And those who were sent ahead went and found it, just as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, 'Why are you untying the colt?'

They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt, and put Jesus on it. And as he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road.

When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began to rejoice and to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen, saying, "Blessed is the King, the one coming in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the highest!"

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it, saying, "If only you yourselves had known, especially on this day, what would bring you peace. But now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build a rampart around you, and they will encircle you, and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children among you. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you."

And Jesus entered the Temple, and he went on to throw out those who were buying and selling in it. He said to them, "It has been written 'My House is the House of Prayer'; you, though, have made it a cave of bandits."

And every day he was teaching at the Temple. But the chief priests, the scribes and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to murder him. Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people were completely enraptured in listening to him.

One day as Jesus was teaching the people in the Temple and proclaiming the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, came up to him and they said, "Tell us by what authority you are doing these things, or who gave you this authority?"

He replied, "I in turn will also ask you one matter, and you make an answer to me. Tell me, John's baptism, was it from Heaven, or from men?"

They reasoned among themselves, saying, "If we should say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why didn't you believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, because they believe that John was a prophet."

And Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things."

"A man planted a vineyard, rented it to vine dressers, and took a journey abroad for a long time. And in due course he sent a servant to the tenants, the farmers, so they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard. But the tenants beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

"Then he sent another servant, but that one also they beat and treated shamefully and sent away empty-handed. He sent still a third, and they wounded him and threw him out.

"Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do? I will send my richly loved son, whom I love; perhaps they will respect him.'

"But when the tenants saw him, they talked the matter over, and said, 'This is the heir. Let's murder him, and the inheritance will be ours.'

"So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants, and give the vineyard to others."

Jesus looked fixedly at them and asked, "Then what is the meaning of that which has been written: 'The stone that the builders rejected, this has become the cornerstone'? Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but anyone on whom it falls will be ground into powder."

And the chief priests and the scribes looked for a way to seize him immediately, but they were afraid because they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

Keeping a close watch on him, they sent out spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the administration and authority of the governor.

And the spies questioned him, saying, "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and that you do not show partiality but teach the path of God in accordance with the truth. Is it lawful for us to pay census tax to Caesar, or not?"

He saw through their duplicity, and said to them, "Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?"

And he said to them, "Then give the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God."

They did not have the acumen to seize on his speech in public, and having marveled at his answer, they became silent.

Some of the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Jesus with a question. "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. Now suppose there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childless. The second and then the third married her, and in the same way the seven died, leaving no children. Finally, the woman died too. Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?"

Jesus replied, "The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who will be considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage. For they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are Sons of God, since they are sons of the resurrection. But in the account of the burning bush, even Moses showed that the dead rise, for he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. But he is God not of the dead, but of the living, for all live by means of him."

This was a non-sequitur by Christ. The vile Yahweh had appeared in some guise, whether a dream, a robot, or with some camouflage, to Abram, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses, and it was Moses who came closest to seeing this evil monster face to face. It was logical that Yahweh would tell Moses, by the 'burning' bush, that he was the god of Abraham, the god of Isaac and the god of Jacob, but this did not mean that Yahweh had somehow saved the 'souls', i.e., the identity-critical data such as the memories, beliefs and values of these characters, so that they could at some future time be resurrected. Yahweh had no motive or desire to do that. Once they were dead, he had no further use for them.

And Jesus probably made the very same mistake, the most important blunder made by Christians, that the vicious Yahweh, and the benevolent Father who created and programmed Christ with his technology in order to mitigate some of the devastation wreaked by Yahweh, were somehow the same individual.

Even two thousand years hence, there would be one of the most absurd oxymorons when some folk would speak of "Judeo-Christian values", which would be similar to speaking of Pol Pot-Mother Teresa values. What shared values did those two have - that they both considered oxygen to be a valuable substance, and that the Sun rose in the east?

Christ's years of mental conditioning had led him to understand that his role was to try to counter Yahweh's ideology of barbarism and war. He had been left with a concept of resurrection, and had a strong belief in a transcendental, immanent, omnipotent deity, which did not allow him to understand that beings such as Yahweh and the Father were neither transcendental, immanent nor omnipotent. There was a plurality of them, and they were just beings from a Type II civilization on the Kardashev scale, with more than a billion years of advancement separating them from humans, and with Yahweh being a rare example of one of these beings presenting with mental disease.

Some of the scribes responded, "Well said, teacher!" They had been suitably impressed by Christ's words. And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Then Jesus asked them, "Why is it said that Christ is the son of David? David himself declares in the Book of Psalms: 'The Lord [Yahweh] said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet".' David calls him 'Lord'. How then can he be his son?"

Christ's error here was in thinking that it was about him. David's "lord" was Saul; the humble David saw himself as Saul's servant. Now Christ of course was not the descendant of any human, and his genetic material was supplied by the Father's technology. Mary or Joseph might have been descendants of David, although there are several interpretations of the lineage, and some scribe's misinterpretation of a single sentence out of tens of thousands of sentences could easily throw everything out.

While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, "Beware of the scribes. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the prime couches at banquets. They devour widows' houses and for exhibition make lengthy prayers. These men will receive a stronger judgment."

As Jesus looked up, he saw rich men putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two leptons, the smallest bronze coin of all. "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. For all these people gave their gifts out of their wealth, but she out of her poverty has put in all she had to live on."

Some of his disciples were remarking about the Temple Court, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, there will come days when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be demolished."

"Teacher," they asked, "when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?"

He replied, "Take heed that you are not deceived. For many will come trading in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them. But when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be fearful, for these things must happen first, but the end will not come right away."

Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in many places, and fearful sights and great signs from Heaven. But before all this, they will seize you and persecute you. They will hand you over to synagogues and put you in jail, and you will be brought before kings and rulers, and all on account of my name. And so you will bear testimony to me.

"But make up your mind not to premeditate how you will defend yourselves. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents, brothers, relatives and friends, and they will condemn some of you to death. Everyone will hate you because of me. But not a hair of your head will perish. Stand firm, and you will keep a hold of your lives.

"When you see Jerusalem being encircled by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. For these are the days of vengeance, so that all things having been written might be accomplished.

"But woe to those having a child in the womb, and to those breastfeeding in those days! For there will be severe distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the nations, until the times of the nations are fulfilled.

"There will be signs in the Sun, moon and stars. On the Earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Men will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud, with power and immense glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

The chance of this ever happening, even in another three or four thousand years, was zero. It was part of the message, aimed at motivating people to do the right thing, to treat others with respect, and to reject Yahweh's butchery and conflagration.

But these eschatological concepts were targeted at an emerging civilization, around the time of Christ, whose principal weapon was the sword. For a more developed people, who had technology such as nuclear weapons that would constitute an existential threat to sapience and sentience on Earth, an insane belief in a fictional redemption or even a "Rapture" would be very dangerous, if such a lunatic were ever allowed to have their finger on the button.

Jesus told them this parable: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things I mentioned coming to pass, you know that the Kingdom of God is near. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."

And this was a prediction of Christ that never came true, not for that generation, not for two thousand years, nor for twenty thousand years.

He said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly. For it will come like a snare against all those who live on the face of the whole land. Be always watchful, and pray on every occasion, so that you may be counted worthy to escape all that is about to happen, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man."

Each day Jesus was teaching in the Temple, and at night he would go out and stay on the hill called the Mount of Olives. And all the people came early in the morning, to hear him in the Temple.

Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was drawing near, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for some way to murder Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. The disciples would later believe that at this time what they thought was the "devil" came into the house of Judas, the one called Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles.

And Judas made his way to the chief priests and chief magistrates and discussed with them how he might hand over Jesus. They were delighted, and agreed to give him silver. He fully consented, and looked for an opportunity to hand him over to them when no crowd was present.

Of course, no "devil" ever took possession of Judas Iscariot. The truth was rather more prosaic. Iscariot was simply an unprincipled traitor who was tempted by riches, and chose to betray Jesus in exchange for silver.

Then the day of Unleavened Bread approached, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed as specified by the crazed Yahweh, to celebrate his massacre of Egyptians. Jesus, good at identifying evildoers but incapable of breaking free from a custom that was based on a mass slaughter, sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover."

He replied, "As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, and say to the owner of the house, 'The Teacher asks you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" ' He will show you a large upper room, all furnished. Make preparations there."

They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

When the hour came, Jesus and the twelve apostles reclined at the table. And he said to them, "I have eagerly longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat from it again until it becomes fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

After receiving the cup, he gave thanks and said, "Take this and divide it among you. For I tell you, I will not drink again from the produce of the vine until the Kingdom of God appears."

And he took a loaf and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave some to them, saying, "This represents my body given for you; do this in memorial of me."

They began to question among themselves, which of them it might be who would do this. A dispute also arose among them as to which of them was considered to be the most eminent.

Jesus said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those wielding authority over them are known as benefactors. But you must not be like that. Instead, the most eminent among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves. For who is greater, he who sits to eat or he who serves? Is it not he who sits to eat? But I am among you as one who serves.

"You are those who have stood by me in my trials. And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

And he said, "Simon, Simon, the enemy has made a claim on you all for sifting you like wheat. But I have pleaded concerning you that your faithfulness may not fail. And when you have turned back, go and establish your brothers."

Jesus answered, "I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me."

Then Jesus asked them, "When I sent you without money bag, travel sack and sandals, did you lack anything?"

So he said to them, "But now if you have a money bag, take it, and also a travel sack. And if you don't have anything, sell your garment and buy a sword."

And Jesus said, "It is written, 'And he was reckoned with transgressors', and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."

Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. And on reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you do not enter into temptation."

He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, saying, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but let yours be done."

An 'angel' from 'Heaven' was seen by him, strengthening him. And being in anguish, he prayed more intensely, and his sweat was like large drops of blood falling to the ground.

When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief. "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Rise up and pray that you might not enter into temptation."

While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to embrace him. But Jesus asked him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

When Christ's followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike them with our swords?" And Simon Peter struck Malchus, the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

But Jesus told him to put his sword back into its sheath, saying that he must drink the cup that his Father had given him. One report claims that Jesus touched Malchus' ear and healed him, but this can be ruled out as impossible. He touched him and would have healed him if he could, but if any disciple imagined they saw the ear become reattached and healed, this was just an illusion based on what they had come to expect from observing all the previous prearranged healings.

And Jesus said to the chief priests, the chief magistrates of the Temple, and the elders, who had come for him, "Have you come with swords and clubs as if against a bandit? Every day I was with you in the Temple, and you did not lay a hand on me. But this is your hour of the power of darkness."

Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest. Peter followed at a distance. And when some there had lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat down with them.

But a certain servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight, and, looking closely at him, said, "This man was with him too."

A little later, another person seeing him said, "You are from among them as well."

About an hour later another asserted, "Certainly, this man was with him as well, and he is definitely a Galilean."

Peter replied, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about!" Just as he was speaking, a rooster crowed.

Jesus turned round and looked straight at Peter. And Peter remembered the words of Jesus that he had spoken to him: "Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times."

The men who were holding Jesus began mocking and flogging him. They blindfolded him, were striking his face, and asked him, "Prophesy! Who is it who hit you?"

At daybreak, the council of the elders of the people, the chief priests and the scribes met together, and Jesus was led before them to their Sanhedrin.

Jesus answered, "If I tell you, you will not believe me, and if I asked you, you would not answer me or let me go. But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."

Then they said, "Why do we need any more testimony? We have heard it from his own mouth."

And they began to accuse him, saying, "We have found this man subverting our nation. He opposes payment of taxes to Caesar and proclaims himself to be Christ, a King."

Over the following two millennia, these people would, by their own admission, be kicked out of just about anywhere that they ever tried to settle, on well over a hundred occasions. And that was because of their appallingly bad behavior, which included subverting and sabotaging nations, and committing all sorts of crimes from pilfering to genocide.

If a man is thrown out of a bar once, he can declare himself innocent and blame it on his opponents. After two or three times, he could say it was simply bad luck. But after more than a hundred times, it is no longer credible for him to argue that he is not the problem, and everyone else is, which is rather like a lunatic claiming that he is not mad; everyone else outside the asylum is.

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find nothing reprehensible in this man."

But they kept insisting, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, starting in Galilee to as far as here."

On hearing this, Pilate asked if the man was a Galilean. When he learned that Jesus was under Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was also in Jerusalem at that time.

When Herod saw Jesus, he was greatly pleased, because for a long time he had been wanting to see him. From what he had heard about him, he hoped to see him perform some sort of sign. He questioned him in many matters, but Jesus gave him no answer.

The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vigorously accusing him. And Herod with his troops treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then they dressed him in luxurious clothes and sent him back to Pilate.

That day Herod and Pilate became friends, whereas before this they had been at enmity with each other.

Pilate called together the chief priests, the rulers and the people, and said to them, "You have brought me this man who is supposedly turning the allegiance of the people, whereas I have conducted an examination in your presence, and I have found nothing reprehensible in this man concerning what allegation you bring against him. Nor, indeed, does Herod, for he sent him back to us, and the result is that nothing worthy of death has been committed by him. Having chastised him, I will release him."

For Barabbas had been thrown into jail on account of an insurrection in the city, as well as for a murder.

For a third time he spoke to them, "Why, what evil has this man committed? I have found no grounds in him for the death penalty. Therefore having chastised him I will release him."

But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their voices and those of the senior priests had the strength to prevail. And then Pilate pronounced sentence for their request to be carried out, and he released Barabbas who had been thrown into jail for sedition and murder, the one they asked for. But Jesus he handed over to their will.

As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the countryside, and put the cross on him, to carry it behind Jesus. And a large crowd of the people followed him, including women who were beating their breasts and lamenting for him.

Jesus turned and said to them, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; but weep for yourselves and for your children. For be aware, the time will come when they will say, 'Joyful are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will say to the mountains, 'Fall on us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!' For if people do these things in the case of the moist wood, what must happen in the case of the dry?"

When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left. The time was about 9am.

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his garments, and they threw lots.

The people stood looking on, and the rulers with them were mocking, saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Christ, the chosen one of God."

The saving of others was part of the plan. And Christ's martyrdom was part of the plan. And every saving or healing had required the assistance of the Anti-Viper team; thus, Christ would certainly not be seen to save himself.

The soldiers also came up and mocked him, offering him vinegar, and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself."

There was an inscription written over him, in Greek, Latin and Hebrew, which read: 'This is the King of the Jews'.

One of the hanged criminals there kept railing at him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself, as well as us."

But the other criminal rebuked him, saying, "Don't you even revere God, seeing you are under the same sentence, and we justly so? For we are receiving a due recompense for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong."

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. The Sun was darkened, and the curtain of the temple sanctuary was torn in two.

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I entrust my spirit." And having said that, he breathed his last. This was around 3pm, the end of the period of darkness.

The centurion, seeing what had happened, glorified God and said, "Certainly this was a righteous man."

When all the crowds who had converged on this spectacle saw what took place, they beat their breasts and turned back.

But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, continued standing far off, gazing on these things.

The three hours of darkness was an interesting engineering project by the Anti-Viper team, and was carried out with multiple drones.

The aim was to block out up to 90% of the sunlight over a 10 km radius around ancient Jerusalem. The Father deployed a mere 90.4 kg of metamaterials, which consisted of 7.2x10¹⁶ disk-shaped particles with a radius of 50 microns (5x10^-5m) and a thickness of 1 micron. Thus, the cross-sectional area of each disk was 7.85x10^-9m² and the volume was 7.85x10^-15m³. The total area from all disks was therefore 5.65x10⁸m³, which is 180% of the 3.14x10⁸m² total area of the target 10 km radius zone.

The additional factor of two was to allow for the fact that not all disks would be perfectly orientated and aligned horizontally such as to present the greatest cross-section above and below the disks cloud.

The disks were made from a graphene aerogel with a density of 0.16 kg/m³, and so the mass of a single disk particle was 1.26x10^-15 kg. Thus, the downward force F_grav acting on a particle released into the atmosphere was ~1.23x10^-14 N.

Initially the material was fabricated in bulk with 3D printing during the interstellar voyage, then the air (from the craft for those individuals who elected to remain carbon-based) was sucked out in a vacuum chamber to get down to the bulk density of the solid, and then each particle was encapsulated within a tiny impermeable monolayer skin.

The particles were taken up in 1,000 relatively small drones and dispersed at an altitude of 25km, which has a typical windspeed of 5 m/s, lower than any other part of the stratosphere. At this altitude, the upward force F_drag acting on a particle matched F_grav of 1.23x10^-14 N at the terminal velocity of 8.72x10^-3 m/s. This can be calculated from: F_drag = ½ x ρ x v² x C_d x A

...where ρ is the air density of 0.0358 kg/m³ at 25km altitude, v is the downward velocity (m/s), C_d is the drag coefficient which we take as 1.15 for a disk or plate, and A is the cross-sectional area of 7.85x10^-9m².

And so over 3 hours the total descent is only 94 meters, a tiny fraction of the 25 km altitude. Now if the cross-section was taken as a smaller area, since some of the time the disk is aligned to the vertical and presents a smaller cross-section when seen from below, this would predict a somewhat greater terminal velocity and descent, but the total drop is still very small in relation to the altitude.

However, if you run an experiment, cut out a paper disk, for example of radius 65 mm and mass 0.545g which is ~41 gsm, drop it from 2m height, then the time to reach the ground averages at least 3 seconds and sometimes more. In a program that computes the net force acting on it, acceleration, velocity and altitude at time increments of 10^-7 s, and assumes the full area of 0.0133 m², it predicts 2.7 seconds as the drop time. But when you watch it, it is nothing like the neat, steady-state program, and the paper descends in a random series of swoops and glides, sometimes going almost horizontally. And so, taking the full cross-section is more than fair.

The total volume of the blocking material was 565 cubic meters, and so each drone needed to carry 0.565 m³ of the low-density material, which was easily handled by the drones of 0.5m radius x 1m average height, at well under the maximum packing density of ~0.9069. Most of the drones would seed a single 20m wide 'lane' in the sky; hence, no turnaround was needed during their dispersal. Those at the edge would cover several 'lanes' of shorter length. If the whole area was to be covered within 15 minutes, the central 'lane' drones only needed a velocity of 22.2 m/s.

These drones had hull thickness of 4mm and the material density was 1,500 kg/m³. With the upper and lower areas each ~0.7854m², the mass of this material was 2 x 0.7854m² x 0.004m x 1,500 kg/m³= ~9.425 kg. Allowing 5 kg for the wings and 10 kg for the miniature antimatter reactor, their unladen mass was ~25 kg, and the payload for each of the 1,000 drones was just 0.0904 kg.

With the wingspan b of 3m, area A of 3m² and drag coefficient C_d of 0.7, the optimal cruising speed where induced drag equaled parasitic drag ranged from 7.205 m/s at sea level to 42.146 m/s at 25 km altitude. (See Exodus for the equations.) Integrated from 0m to 25,000m, the average speed was 19.78 m/s. Climbing 1m for every 5m horizontally, the diagonal flight path was 5.099 times the 25 km vertical, making it ~127.5 km. Thus, the time taken to ascend 25 km was ~1.8 hours.

The crucifixion was at 9am, and the darkness fell over the land at noon. So the drones began to ascend within an hour of Jesus being crucified, and to the nearest hour, it was around noon when the people began to notice the eerie darkness.

At the optimal cruising speed, the total drag for the 0.5m radius drones was 133.5N, and so the required work over 127.5 km was 17.02 MJ. The potential energy was 25.1 kg x 9.8 N/kg x 25,000m = 6.15 MJ. Thus, the total energy for each drone was 23.17 MJ, easily handled by their antimatter reactors, which generated electricity for their electric fans.

Their mothership's drone docking bay had a 44m width and the length was 1,256m, the circumference of a 200m radius cylinder. If the small 0.5m radius drones are allocated spaces of 1.25m x 1.25m, they can fit 35 of them along the 44m. Then they need 29 rows of 1.25m along the 1,256m circumference, which is 36.25m and leaves more than 1,200m of circumference for their larger drones.

The master drone, of 20m radius, was deployed with a microwave directed energy beam to heat a column of air as required to (i) neutralize the incoming wind, and (ii) bring about a flow of the particle cloud from east to west, to hold the shadow on the ground steady as the Earth rotated on its axis and the Sun apparently 'moved' across the sky. The 1,000 dispersal drones then took over their new role as 'shepherd' drones, providing the master drone with feedback on the motion of the particle cloud, so that the master drone could adjust the intensity or direction of its directed energy beam accordingly.

With the Sun's apparent 'movement' in the sky, the edge of the shadow on the land would move at a speed determined by D = H . tan(θ), where D is the displacement in meters, H is the height of the cloud (25,000m) and θ is the angular apparent displacement of the Sun since the starting point at noon. Over 24 hours the Sun moves 360° or 2π radians, and so the tangential speed is 2π / (24 x 3,600) = ~7.27x10^-5 radians/second. And so, each second the shadow's edge moves by 25,000 x 7.27x10^-5 = ~1.82 m/s.

And so, the work done by the master drone is determined by the sum of two vectors. The first requirement is the countering of the prevailing 5 m/s southwesterly wind, at just a little north of the 30°N 'horse' latitude, and so the countering vector has the amplitude of 5 m/s but the opposite direction from northeast to southwest, which is a bearing of 225° clockwise from north. The second vector is the 1.82 m/s east to west to track the Sun's apparent motion, which is a bearing of 270°. When these are summed, the resultant vector has amplitude of 6.417 m/s and a bearing of 236.57°, which is west of southwest.

The master drone needs to move a column of air with the same cross-sectional area of the cloud π x (10,000m)² = 3.14x10⁸ m², (imagine the cross-section edge as inclined to the vertical instead of horizontal, and aligned to the required bearing of 236.56°). The mass flow rate ṁ, the mass of air that must be accelerated per second, is ṁ = ρ * A * v where:

...ρ is the density of air at 25km altitude of 0.0358 kg/m³, A is the cross-sectional area of 3.14x10⁸ m², and v is the required velocity of 6.417 m/s.

And so, for the mass flow rate ṁ, we have 7.2x10⁷ kg/s. Then for the kinetic energy per second we have ½ * ṁ * v² = ½ * 7.2x10⁷ kg x (6.417 m/s)² = 1.48x10⁹ W = 1.48 GW. This is the average power deployed by the master drone's directed energy beam, and so the total energy cost sustained over 3 hours is 1.48x10⁹ x 3 x 3,600 = 1.6x10¹³ J = 16 TJ.

The Anti-Viper team had ample supplies of antimatter for such tasks, and at an efficiency of 90%, the yield from the matter/antimatter fuel is 8.089x10¹⁶ J/kg. Thus, the 1.6x10¹³ J requires 198 mg of matter/antimatter.

The reason for the choice of 3-hour duration of darkness is that as the Sun descends in the sky, the shadow from the fixed-altitude cloud starts to distort and the shadow's edges move faster. The tan law is linear for very small angles, and then increasingly deviates, so that tan (0.0727 radians) (at 1,000 seconds past noon) is 0.0728283, but tan (0.727 radians) (after ~2.8 hours) is 0.889529. At this point it becomes increasingly difficult and more power-intensive for the master drone to direct the cloud into the required position.

And so all of the drones returned to their temporary base, the cloud was allowed to disperse naturally in the prevailing wind, and normal afternoon light returned to Jerusalem's Temple at the "ninth" hour.

Now there was a man named Joseph, a counselor, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their decision and action. He came from the Judean town of Arimathea, and he himself was waiting for the Kingdom of God, being a disciple of Christ, but secretly, for fear of the Jews. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in the rock, one in which no one had yet been laid.

It was Preparation Day, and the Sabbath was drawing near. The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. Then they went back and prepared aromatics and ointments, but they rested on the Sabbath in keeping with the commandment.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.

In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you search for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has been raised! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, and to be crucified, and on the third day to rise'."

Then they remembered his words. When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the eleven remaining loyal apostles and to all the others.

Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over to look, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.

Now that same day two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. And as they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself apparently came up and walked along with them; but they did not recognize him.

That is because it was not Jesus; it was a biological android that resembled him, but these people had recently seen Jesus and could tell the difference. However, the android 'Jesus' was programmed to say similar words, and to exhibit similar behavior, as might have been expected from Christ himself.

He asked them, "What are you discussing together as you walk along, and are downcast in countenance?"

One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you a visitor, alone in Jerusalem, yet you have not come to know the things that have happened there in these days?"

"About Jesus the Nazarene," they replied. "He was a man, a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him. But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. But in addition, some of our women went to the tomb early this morning and they astounded us. They told us they didn't find his body, but they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus."

He said to them, "Oh dullards, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Ought the Christ not to have suffered these things, and then enter his glory?"

And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he gave them an exposition of what he imagined was said in all the scriptures concerning himself.

As they approached the village where they were heading, the 'Jesus' continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.

When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then they recognized him and believed he was Jesus, and he disappeared from their sight.

They asked each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"

They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."

Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

The android 'Jesus' had a brain that allowed it to discuss the scriptures, and it could also tell when it had been recognized, which was its cue to leave. And it had a basic digestive system, allowing it to ingest bread or fish, A basic swarm of nanites could disassemble into a mist, but this more sophisticated machine would have required significant energy to disassociate chemical bonds, such as a rapid exothermic reaction that would have endangered those in its vicinity, so it actually sneaked away as the two were looking elsewhere, rather than turning itself invisible. But when they recounted what had happened, the two disciples said 'he' had disappeared.

While some of the disciples were talking about those events, 'Jesus' stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." This was the same biological android 'Jesus' that had already appeared to the other two. They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.

'He' said to them, "Why are you disturbed, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that I am he. Touch me and see; a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."

After the android said this, it showed them its hands and feet, aware that it had convincing physical attributes. And while they still did not believe it because of exuberance and marveling, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and some honeycomb, and he took it and 'ate' it in their presence.

He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms."

Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he told them, "So it has been written, and so must the Christ suffer in this way and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. And see now, I authorize over you the promise of my Father. But remain in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

And he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven.

Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And they stayed continually in the Temple, praising God.
