The story is a retelling of the Acts of Thomas, about Jesus selling Thomas to King Gundaphorus of India, and how Thomas (who was a carpenter or architect) would design a great palace for the king. There is a slight discrepancy here because Gundaphorus was an Indo-Parthian king in the north, while Chola and Malabar are in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The underlying meaning of this circular dance would seem to be inescapable \u2014 it is symbolic of the zodiac. The central lamp is the Sun, surrounded by twelve constellations that dance around the Sun during the 26,000 year Great Year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that the primary symbol of the Nazarene Judaism of Jesus and James was the zodiac, as typified by the Hamat Teverya zodiac on the Sea of Galilee. This zodiac was owned by Jesus of Gamala-Sapphias (the biblical Jesus), and Josephus Flavius was sent by the Jerusalem priesthood to destroy it in about AD 66 (because it depicted heretical images of animals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we have a direct connection here, between the Edessa, Galilee, and Malabar. The Nazarene Church of King Jesus-Izas owned a zodiac on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, while the Malabar Nasrani Church in India, founded by St Thomas the brother of Jesus, perform a zodiac dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nazarene Way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, the circling dance is called margam meaning \u2018The Way\u2019, while the Nazarene Church of Jesus and James was also called \u2018The Way\u2019 (see: Acts 9:2, 22:4, 24:14). \u2018The Way\u2019 of Jesus and James was called a heresy in Acts of the Apostles &#8211; a belief or practice that went against the Judaic religion practiced by the Jerusalem priesthood &#8211; but nobody really knows how or why The Nazarene Way differed from orthodox Judaism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this new connection to Malabar in India may give us a rare insight into the original meaning of this mysterious The Way, and what it actually referred to. If the twelve-man circling dance of the Malabar Church symbolised the zodiac, and was called The Way, then surely The Way refers to the ecliptic &#8211; the great cosmic circle in the heavens above that connects all the signs of the zodiac. The ecliptic is not simply The Way of the zodiac constellations, but also of the Sun, Moon, and all the wandering planets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If so, this is further confirmation that the Nazarene Church of Jesus and James was Sabaean &#8211; that it was a cosmic cult led by astronomer-priests who studied the movement of the heavens. They depicted the great circle of the heavens on their zodiac and used it in their daily rituals. It was a circular mosaic \u2018table\u2019 surrounded by twelve disciple-knights of the Round Last Supper Table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Margam Kali zodiac-table is the primary symbol of both King Jesus and King Arthur. And both are linked to the Nazarene-Nazrani Church of Jesus, James and Thomas &#8211; the princes of Edessa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasrani Christian explanation of the Margam Kali<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasrani.net\/2009\/05\/04\/margam-kali-history-theme-early-reference-and-modern-developments\">https:\/\/www.nasrani.net\/2009\/05\/04\/margam-kali-history-theme-early-reference-and-modern-developmentshttps:\/\/www.nasrani.net\/2009\/05\/04\/margam-kali-history-theme-early-reference-and-modern-developments<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\" height=\"316\" data-attachment-id=\"145270\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sakshizion.com\/?attachment_id=145270\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?fit=1600%2C1066&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1066\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"img_0829\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?fit=474%2C316&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829-1024x682.jpg?resize=474%2C316&#038;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-145270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?resize=1536%2C1023&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sakshizion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_0829.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Nasrani Margam Kali Zodiac dance of India<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally posted by : Ralph Ellis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"474\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XpqJZ2nLoS0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for visiting my blog!
