Petra – Rock of the Church and Treasury of the Pharaoh

Christ said: ‘Thou art Peter (Petros), and upon this Rock (Petra) will I build my Church.’

It is said that the power of the Roman and Eastern Papacy had been established with the magical words said above by Christ to Saint Peter. It is the mystery behind these allegorical words where we can discover the true light of what is symbolically meant by Christ when he had stated that he will build his church upon a rock.

The Rock (Petra) where Christ said he would build his church can be found on a sandy high-road between Arabia and Syria in a tract of ancient Judea. It was once called “The Rose Red City of Esau”. It is this magnificent Biblical town of Edom where we can find the territory that was allotted to Jacob’s brother Esau (Genesis 36), and also the capital of the Nabateans where the Edomites, or in Greek the ‘Idumeans’ had lived. Today the lost rock city is known by its Greek name of Petra that represents Zeus Peter (Ju’Piter/Ju-Peter), or in English Peter which means “the rock” or “the father.”

Matthew 16:18 – And I tell you that you are PETRA (Peter), and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

On the great Treasury of the Pharaoh is the figure of Isis as they both face the rising sun in the East. Petra via the Mother Isis is the successor to Christ as the infallible head of the church, who has power and authority over all the other apostles and the entire church. It is Peter who has the keys to unlock and lock the kingdom of heaven and hell to anyone as he chose, and it is under the spell of Isis that the gates of Hades will not overcome it. (more…)
