The Lost Voyage of Jesus
Lately, I’ve been posting a lot about the Jews of Spain, the Inquisition and the “conversos” i.e., those Jews who were forcibly converted to Catholicism back in 1492. I’ve even traced world champion tennis player, Rafael Nadal, to a converso family. But now I want to go further and let you know that some of the Jews who were persecuted by the Spanish Inquisition were actually descendants of the earliest Christians. In fact, and I know this may sound far-fetched, I believe the evidence is overwhelming that Jesus himself traveled to Spain.
Since many people believe that Jesus occupied some kind of mythical time and space, the idea of his voyage to Spain sounds impossible. Most people have a quaint perception that Jesus spent his entire “ministry” – prior to going to Jerusalem where he was crucified – in northern Israel, walking along the shores of a tiny fresh water lake called the “Sea of Galilee”. But is this historical reality or theological fantasy? Did Jesus really spend his entire life in Israel? Or did he travel elsewhere, namely, Spain?
The fact is that Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia in northwestern Spain, is one of the three most important pilgrimage sites for Christians (the other two being Rome and Jerusalem). Traditionally, it’s the place where James, one of Jesus’ twelve apostles, is buried. If James could make it to Spain, why not Jesus? The apostle Paul also declares his intention of traveling to Spain (Romans 15:24), and some Christian traditions say that he made it there. If Paul could travel to Spain, why not Jesus?
Here’s the shocker: according to the Gospels, Jesus undertook an adventurous sea journey to a place called “the land of the Gadarenes”. Where is this place? Why did Jesus go there? And why has this story been covered up for over two millennia?
For a brief time only, watch my film below and weigh the evidence.
