Critique of Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh & Henry Lincoln's Book:
Holy Blood, Holy Grail
Holy Blood, Holy Grail
The authors write a very compelling story, stretching from the crucifixion to our present time. Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln set themselves on a very daunting course while attempting to research and articulate coherent threads unraveled from the time of Messiah’s crucifixion as King of the Jews, ostensibly, or perhaps as verisimilitude posits, to Prieuré de Sion, Ordre de Sion, or King of Jerusalem perpetual installations. The authors offer a rich bibliographic assortment as source for their intriguing, investigative exposition.
HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL contains a twisted and secretly contrived stratagem to reclaim the throne of David, through Jesus Christ and ‘progeny,’ in perpetuity. To grasp the authors’ book title significance, early on, we should realize Holy Grail and Holy Blood are indistinguishable in definition. And while we are conditioned to think of the Holy Grail as a cup used by Jesus and disciples, here the concept is used in a consanguineous inheritance belonging to Jesus the Christ.
Very difficult to read, and ascribed to constant protagonist change over two millennia of history, this documentary begins in the Middle Ages, with Godfroi de Bouillon’s installation as King of Jerusalem. This appointment, of course, results from victories in the Crusade’s very beginning, when Jerusalem falls from Saracen (Moslem-Arab) control to European conquest in A.D. 1099. But the story very often regresses to more ancient times for pertinent events and writings in support of the story thesis.
Before and after A.D. 1099, intrigue and conspiracy settle in and around the Rennes le Chateâu in Southern France; considerable treasure was reportedly entombed in the area. According to the authors, this treasure backed Holy Land conquest by the mostly christianized Jewish contingents. In fact, almost the whole of Southern France and Northern Spain was populated by Twelve Tribes pure bloods or exogamous mixes, or as the authors so designated, Jewish migrants. But the authors err in ethnic terminology. Without question, and as conclusively proven by Ben Winter in THE GREAT DECEPTION: Symbols And Numbers Clarified, to designate all Twelve Tribes as Jewish is gross error; never were the Ten Tribes (Israel House) ever answerable as Two Tribe Jews (Judah House), not before the First Century nor after, except through exegetical ignorance. Therefore, understanding this anomaly, we can detect error in any writing not entirely familiar with Tribal history and ‘last days’ circumstance.
Woven into HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL fabric are threads spun from origination and organization not only in Prieuré de Sion but under Knights Templar and Freemasonry auspices. All prominently furthered the Holy Grail incentive to King of Jerusalem enthronement. Prieuré de Sion, Knights Templar Grand Masters, and Freemasonry were prominently figured as powers behind the throne, or indeed, as powers on the throne. And as we discover, toward book conclusion, Grand Masters exist in perpetuity and claim certain secrets to be still extant and resting in a France bank vault.
In critique brevity, HOLY GRAIL incentives rest in a purported transport of Jesus’ ‘wife,’ Mary Magdalene, and son into Southern France, and finally evolved to Merovée as a thaumaterge conception in the Fifth Century A.D., thus creating the Merovingian dynasty—prerequisite in Grand Master qualification. Merovingian derives from Merovée (A.D. 400) and progeny, or progenitors devolved from Jesus the Christ, as paternal, and Mary Magdalene as maternal origination. Repulsive to modern faith, such reasoning is educed from events surrounding pre-cross, cross, and after-cross exposition. Details can be read in the book; here, we touch only on the bare essentials. Overall, this documentary is about bloodline and ascendance to the Messianic Kingdom throne. In these authors’ considerable research, resourcefulness, and intuitiveness, the deduced conspiracy continues into modern times. Particularly, the Grand Master title devolves to a titled and wealthy Plantard de Saint-Clair, as of 1979. The treasure, or its remnants, mentioned in this critique beginning, is under control of the above-mentioned Grand Master.
Ben Winter would add: Truly, the authors did not understand applicative limits imposed by the particularly finite definitions in ‘eternal,’ ‘gentile,’ ‘grace,’ and ‘Ten Ages’ scope of Messianic rule. At odds with the crusading Tribal-Christian ambition to enthrone Holy Blood, an ambitious and devious Islamic movement opposes any Qur’anic denigration and any opposition to Qur’an incentives advocating Islam’s inventive, ‘true religion.’ But this is not the only deterrent to peace in the Middle East! Consider: another movement is underway; in Israel, so-called Jewish zealots busily fashion Temple artifacts and worship tools for installation when the Temple Mound (Sion) is once again under Jewish control (not Twelve Tribes but Jewish [two tribes]). On the sidelines, adoptive-Christian devotees, taking the course of least resistance and blasé to reality, continue as if nothing important is happening. ‘All’ labor under a delusion! There can be no return (Jews to Heaven and Earth [the other Ten Tribes to who-knows-where], Christians to Heaven, and Muslims to Paradise) to something no longer in existence. The end of all things has already occurred--with destruction of the then existing TEMPLE. To be sure, any attempt to reclaim the Temple mound will result in a worldwide war, unlike any before, and lasting until the last fool is dead. The one survivor presumed to be an only non-fool. Already, Islam has infiltrated the world’s major universities and many seats of government, aided and abetted by other misguided or uninformed ethnic heretics. Does anyone care to consider: Islam represents one billion and two-hundred million strong--ALL governed by Qur’an contents—which guide advocates death for Jew and Christian, Infidels, Islam unbelievers? It does not really say that or mean that? Only one unread and susceptible to Muslim propaganda can believe the Islamic apologist?
According to THE GREAT DECEPTION: Symbols And Numbers Clarified, Daniel, Revelation, and Recorded History predicts, correlates, and records end to all things ‘imminence’ in the mid-first century, ending the ‘Ten Ages’ allocated for Monotheism Kingships. If one can surpass desideratum and superstition, and if one can grasp ‘Episodic Ages,’ ‘this generation,’ and ‘imminence’ significance, then he can begin to see the cruel hoax perpetrated on mankind’s weakest ethos, his desire for immortality. In man’s blindness capacity, books will continue to be written, sermons preached, and political ambitions exercised for the individual benefit, not for mankind benefit.
Whatever might be perceived as truth in the reader’s own metaphysically compromised intellect, he cannot escape the requirement to think while perusing the information mass contained in HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL exposition; at the same time, he will encounter truly great wealth and men of stature in the persons of Richard Wagner, Isaac Newton, and Victor Hugo, themselves involved in the perpetuation of a cause real or imagined; Grand Masters, geniuses all, they believed in the two thousand year old crusade.
While Ben Winter cannot challenge the supercharged enthusiasm behind two thousand years of ambitious endeavor, he can challenge metaphysical innovation, mistaken definition, chronological misguidance, and shortsighted Bible interpretative skills motivating the two thousand year fruitless conquest.
And the beat goes on; as long as people exist, they will seek immortality in those things unseen, unheard, and intangible within their very least sentient attribute. They cannot help themselves, for the survival sense is stronger than reason.
This complex, controversial, possible, impossible, and unconventional book, entitled HOLY BLOOD, HOLY GRAIL, was enjoyed, immensely.
