Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The mysteries of Jesus and the Bible are finally revealed in this explosive new book by James Kwaku Ocansey as he unearths the shocking connection between Jesus's missing years from the ages of twelve to thirty and his studies of ancient Egypt. Before Christ's arrival and the advent of Christianity, Egypt was the center of spiritual, scientific, and artistic education for the ancient world. Many ideas about God, Man, and Satan and the life-after-death belief adopted by Christians had already been recorded in the Zodiac and the Egyptian Book of the Dead. With detailed research, James Kwaku Ocansey contends that before launching His ministry, Jesus Christ prepared Himself in Egypt where the 'Mysteries' taught the first system of salvation. Ocansey also asserts that the Bible speaks nothing about Jesus's missing years because of the secret oath demanded of those who received this teaching. Jesus Christ: The Missing Years and Mysteries will expose the truth behind a centuries-long conspiracy as well as build up the body of Christ by contributing to the knowledge of the Son of God.…
