Parthia

People lived in remote nomadic worlds to avoid the authority of the cities of blood where the civilized world often resorts to forms of government that offered the dainties of rulers that were a snare and a trap for the masses.
Those fatal systems, where a civil law often made some men rulers one of over another, often baited their citizens with promises of safety and security. But at what expense to their own soul and mind?
Their words of pride through pseudo-patriotism called to the foolish men who often sat in darkness with an appetite for benefits at the expense of others. These covetous practices would make them merchandise and curse the next generation as a surety for debt.
The cauldrons of human flesh that became one purse through consent became the cities of blood where wise men like Abraham feared to tread.
Yet, men who claim Abraham as their Father blindly go their to their own destruction.

Parthian Empire

The Parthian Empire also known as the Arsacid Empire was a major Iranian political and cultural power in ancient Iran from 247 BC to 224 AD.

The Parthians were originally a nomadic tribe called the Parni. Thought to be the tribe of the Scythians, the Parni seems to have been a part of the Seleucid Empire. They were located southeast of the Caspian Sea. They eventually gained independence from the Seleucid Empire and formed their own culture and empire over a long period of time.

The wars between Parthia and Rome were initiated by Rome and not by the Parthians, except by their independence..

Over almost five centuries of the Parthian systems of rule there was a variety of religious sects.

But Religion was not just an ideology but part of a system that provided social insurance in what was often hard and dangerous times.

Fear can destroy a people long before their destruction is realized.

Zoroastrian

The Zoroastrian influence declined. Christians under the Roman State was often persecuted but their acceptance in the Parthian Empire occurred more readily. Christianity spread among the population seemed to be word of mouth. The adoption seemed to spread because of its tolerance, its appeal to individual liberty.

The people may have also been more accepting of false doctrines because of the failure and corruption in the existing religions to provide a daily ministration in a moral manner. The beginning degeneration begins with sloth and then Avarice.

The Zend-avesta was a sacred book containing laws and liturgy which were the teachings of Zarathushtra (Zoroaster).

The Roman factor

The Roman–Parthian Wars were conflicts between the Parthian Empire and the Roman Republic including the Roman Empire lasting some 682 years of Roman–Persian Wars.

Herod had to deal with Parthia in 40 BC. Pacorus, the prince of Parthia, had alied forces with Antigonus in order to seize the throne of Hyrcanus II, king of Judea. With the invading of Jerusalem by the Parthians a civil war broke out and fighting went on every day in the city.

Pacorus with Quintus Labienus, who supported Brutus and Cassius, invaded Syria, and deposed Hyrcanus II to install his nephew Antigonus (40–37 BC) until he was remove with the help of the Idumean Herod in 37 BC.

The Maji

What king of parthia was in the lineage of Jesus?

Since Jesus descends from Phares and David (per Matthew 1:3-17), he would share a very remote common ancestor with the Parthian royal house. This would make Jesus (and Joseph) "distant relatives" or potential claimants to the Parthian throne under Parthian customs, which allowed broader kin to be considered for kingship.

John the Baptist also seemed to be a priest the Parthia with be.t and camel hair. Before Christ, Judea was primarily under Roman control, but the Parthian Empire had influence in the region, especially during conflicts with Rome. The Parthians were generally more tolerant of local customs and religions compared to the Romans, which could have affected the dynamics in Judea during that time.

Overtime religions older it may have become subject to corruption. The Maji's arrival seeking a new king, the appearance of John the Baptist and events on the Day of Pentecost considering the text of Acts of Apostles, it becomes easier this newer religion or reformation of religion was adopted.

There were elements of the geography of the Parthian Empire where Christianity was mostly accepted and adopted. Christian communities were concentrated near Adiabene and Osrhoene.

Christians in Parthia

The founder of the Christian community of Edessa appears to be the Apostle Thaddaeus. Christianity seems to spread first where Aramaic and its Semitic idiomatic dialects was present.

Heir Priest and King

Jesus in Matthew 1 via the Davidic/Perez line.

The Arsacid dynasty, also known as the Parthian Empire ruled from 247 BC to 224 AD, in Iran and Mesopotamia. It is known for its conflicts with Rome.

The Arsacids descended from the ancient biblical figure Phares (Perez) and King David.

Some suggest post-exilic Davidic descendants spread into Asia, influencing or merging with Parthian/Scythian/Saka royal lines, making Jesus a "distant relative" or potential throne claimant of Parthia.

The Magi (wise men) visiting Jesus in Matthew 2 are interpreted as Parthian priests/king-makers (Magi) who recognized this shared royal blood and paid homage accordingly.

John the Baptist, as the cousin of Jesus, connected to Parthia even without reference to Priestley garb and Camel hair.

Parthian rulers were often more tolerant of Judaism compared to the Romans, which may have allowed Jewish communities to thrive under their influence.

Their influence over the politics of Judea during certain periods provided a different context for the development of Jewish thought and practices during the time of Jesus. Political and cultural morality had been in decline since the righteous leadership of Simon the Just.

This decline of morality was often due to policies and practices that were contrary to the teachings intend by Moses in the Torah. That was often the result of private interpr

The righteous king of the wise men of Parthia was Jesus the Christ.

A true Republic's citizenry is Libera res publica unless the submit to an entangling relationship with a body politic.

All nations are visited by cultures and ideologies that can overwhelm their own culture of they are slothful in the practice of righteousness which may progressively creep into society during times of peace and prosperity.

Abraham who Moslems and Jews claim is the patriarch of their respective religions avoided the the men who exercise authority in the cities of blood where the civilized world often resorted to forms of government that offered the dainties of rulers that were a snare and a trap.

Those fatal systems called to the foolish men full of pride and avarice but were places where wise men like Abraham feared to tread.

Proverbs 29 gives us a story played out among the wise and foolish of Parthia, then and now.

The word "Christ" meant anointed and therefore the Kings of Israel who were anointed. To Call Jesus the Christ was to call him Messiah and King. The Pharisees and Herod had instituted a system of Corban through the power of the priesthood and the civil law in order to exercise authority of the king over the people to provide welfare, benefits, and dainties.

Systems of fools

Such systems of legal charity were a snare and a trap according to Proverbs, David, and Paul. They would entangle the people in the elements of the world, returning them to the bondage of Egypt.

Jesus began his ministry at the Baptism by John the Baptist who was already preaching the kingdom of God and His righteousness was at hand. He was to replace John but even John did not know he was to be the Messiah, priest and King. Eventually he spoke of the Baptism of the Spirit and of fire.

Rabbinical Baptism had long been a custom in Jewish history to ritually accept a change in status.

Raiment of John

In Matthew 3:4 John's "raiment of camel's hair" was likely made of Bactrian camel's hair which was common in Parthia, the hereditary enemy of Rome. And "a leathern girdle about his loins" also suggests Parthian priest wearing a "Hemyan" belt.
Also the idea of "his meat was locusts and wild honey" is not about eating bugs but Carob.

Soba was said to be the daughter of Matthan and mother of Elisabeth, who was the mother of John the Baptist. This also made Joseph "Mary’s first cousin, once removed, as they shared the same grandfather, Matthan" See (Matthew 1:15)

This made them both descended from both Judean and Parthian royalty and priesthood. See Jesus

Because Zacharias was murdered his office as priest passed to John his son who became John the Baptist. With a murder in the temple and the Sanhedrin in disarray, with the proper bloodline and the blessings of the Megistanes we can assume that the office of high priest in Judea and in Parthia passed to John the Baptist. If the reference in Matthew 3:4 concerning John's "raiment of camel's hair" was made of Bactrian camel's hair which was common in Parthiaand the "leathern girdle about his loins" was the famous traditional "Hemyan" belt we may safely assume he became a Parthian priest while hiding in Asia safe from assassination by Jews or Romans.

Wise men

The wise men of Matthew 2 seems to be the Megistanes who saw Jesus as the descendent of Phares, King David, and Matthan the technical heir to the Parthian throne.

When John the Baptist was executed then Jesus automatically became his successor as the one who was to come after him. This would make Jesus as the Christ both High Priest and King and as the righteous king of peace and the Son of God.
