Chapter 14-The family business  
     
1.
 For roughly forty to fifty years it was simply too dangerous for anyone to claim open conversions, "evangelizing" of new recruits to the religion of Paul and the House of Ananus.
 
2.
 Instead, the first true leaders of the Christian faith created by Paul after his death were the former High Priests of Judaism, now exiled having been saved by one of their own, Josephus ben Matthias.
 
3.
 The recruits of Paul of Tarsus such as Linus, Mark, and others had been rounded up because of their direct association with him and eventually executed. However, the High Priests had been tried and officially pardoned to exile.
 
4.
 Ananus ben Ananus, the last High Priest of the House of Ananus (62 CE), who oversaw the murder of James the Just went with his family to Alexandria in 68 CE and as simple Ananus became the first "official" Christian bishop of Alexandria. Eventually, later christian scholars changed his name to Annianus to hide this rather obvious connection.
 
5.
 Matthias ben Ananus (St. Matthias), High Priest of the Jews (43 CE) and father of Josephus (St. Luke) chose Antioch, his traditional family home as exile and became the unofficial Pope of Antioch from 68 CE until his death.
 
6.
 To ensure his father's position could never be compromised, Josephus (St. Luke) nominated his father Matthias was the "replacement apostle" to Judas- a clear yet clever lie that reinforced his legitimacy connection to the famous, but now mostly dead apostles.
 
7.
 Thus the House of Ananus (Hanan) in Alexandria and Antioch cemented itself dynastically as the true "power" behind the facade of Christianty- a power that can still trace its blood lines through many former Jewish aristocratic families that became Christian and have controlled for most of the time since over the past two thousand years.
 
8.
 In respect to the two other great houses of Sadducees (Boethus from which the Herods were descended) and (Phiabi), it is not clear how many also joined the House of Ananus in the early development and control of Christianity.
  
9.
 Knowing the general nature of Sadducees, it is unlikely the House of Ananus (Hanan) shares any of its power with the others, instead using its growing influence to build a control in the first years of Christianity.
  
10.
 During the first two hundred and fifty years of Christianity, the most important centres for Christian revival were Antioch (Syria), Carthage, Smyrna (Western Turkey) and Spain.
  
11.
 Many of the earliest supporters of Paul from these centres had become fabulously wealthy through the false charities set up originally to supposedly help the Nazarenes save the entire Middle East from starvation.
 
12.
 The incredible wealth formed from deceit and the first charities of the christian church meant these families were able to buy their lives following the purge of the Romans and the hunt for all christian leaders of Paul.
 
13.
 It also guaranteed a strong family loyalty to the original plans of Paul for giving them such power and establishing such a brilliantly evil system.
 
14.
 Of the earliest leaders, Antioch produced the most impressive succession of Paul defenders and refiners of the faith including: Luke the Evangelist (0 to 84 CE), Ignatius of Antioch (35 – 117 CE) and Justin Martyr (100 – 165 CE ) and Eusebius of Caesarea (275- 339 CE).
  
15.
 In more modern mythology of Christian beginnings, Justin Martyr is often claimed to have come from Palestine and not Antioch citing an improbable mix of family connections to justify this story.
  
16.
 In Carthage, another key historic centre of ancient human sacrifice, the most important church leaders of its revival were Tertullian (160 to 220 CE) and Cyprian of Carthage (200 to 258)
  
17.
 Meanwhile Irenaeus of Lyons (130 to 200 CE) is a major founder and assistant in seeking to defeat followers of the true words of Jesus and the Nazarenes.
  
18.
 Finally, Polycarp of Smyrna (Turkey) (69– 169 CE) is considered a giant amongst the early church fathers in seeking to eliminate dangerous remnants of Nazarene thought and evidence concerning the true faith created by Jesus.
  
19.
 Contrary to the wonderful fables created by the Christian Church of Rome to justify its false claims of primacy, no Paulist satanic Christian leaders or theologians were prominent in Rome for at least two hundred years after the execution of Paul and the mass murders committed by the early Christian fanatics.
  
20.
 What is clear is that from the time of 135 CE onwards and the successive revolts in Judea it is clear the Sadducee families lost dynastic control of the Eastern churches. Why and how this occurred is not yet clear.
