The Sleeping Shepherd-Kings of Salem

Jesus descends from the sons of Salma who were the Sleeping Shepherds of Bethleham. I suspect Jesus came as the embodiment of King Solomon, a 'Sleeping Sherpherd' after the god Endymion who was worshipped by the Carians who I believe were king David's bodyguards. The Carians followed Mithra, also, and thus were the Parthian Magi who woke the Sleeping Shepherds of Bethleham and told them of their Savior asleep in a manger.

Endymion is related to Salmoneus who is depicted in a paintng by Poussin whose work 'The Shepherds of Arcadia' has received much attention in regards to the Priory de Sion and the Davinci Code. I believe there was a search for the burial place of Solomon in Arcadia by Freemasons.

According to Robert Graves, the names Salma, or Salmon, are royal titles among the Kenites who were Mose's inlaws. He married Jethro's daughter, a shepherdess. Scholars are now concluding Moses adobted the religion of Jethro that made a home in Salem, or Jerusalem, where the Axis Mundi was established.

I beleive Jesus was the embodiment of the first King of Salem, who was David. Solomon installed the Rosa Mundi, or the Shekinah in the temple. The Golden Gate in Herod's temple was sealed, and could only be opened by the embodiment of Salma, or, Solomon. Jesus entered that gate as the embodiment of Solomon to be crowned the King of Jeruaslem.

Jesus was nicknamed 'The Wind' which is the name of Aeolus the father of Salmoneus. Just before Jesus dies on the Axis Mundi there is an eclipse of the sun that lasts for three hours.
The Jews studied the phases of the moon to determine many temple rituals, and the Jubilee. Selene, the goddess of the moon, visited Endymion in his cave while he was asleep, and somehow had fifty beautiful daughters by him that represented the phases of the moon.

During the eclipse, when the cosmic clock is being reset, Jesus declares "It is done!" and the the tombs of "sleeping Saints" are opened, and they go into Jerusalem and talk to the citizens. The "saints" were not buried near Jerusalem, but the 'Kings of Jerusalem' were. This was the true title nailed over Jesus' head atop the cross. Here is the Good Shepherd - AWOKEN - from his deep sleep. Consider the sleeping disciples atop the Mount of Olives where Solomon built a temple to golden chariots.

What did the Good Shepherds of Salem, Elis, and Arcadia do with the wool of those sheep?

I found Endymion, yesterday, after I found the Axis Mundi. Meher Baba, the Parthian Poet, was called "The Awakener". The Rose-line, the Meridian, and the Axis Mundi has been reset. The Rose of the World is awake in her new kingdom!

Selene, the Titan goddess of the moon, loved the mortal, who was so beautiful that she asked Endymion's father Zeus to grant him eternal youth so he would never leave her. Alternatively, Selene loved so much how Endymion looked when he was asleep in the cave on Mount Latmos, near Miletus, in Caria; she entreated with Zeus that he might remain that way. Either way, Zeus blessed him by putting him into an eternal sleep. Every night, Selene visited him where he slept. Selene and Endymion had fifty daughters called the Menae.

The sons [8] of Hur the firstborn of Ephrathah: Shobal the father of Kiriath-jearim, 51 Salma, the father of Bethlehem, and Hareph the father of Beth-gader. 52 Shobal the father of Kiriath-jearim had other sons: Haroeh, half of the Menuhoth. 53 And the clans of Kiriath-jearim: the Ithrites, the Puthites, the Shumathites, and the Mishraites; from these came the Zorathites and the Eshtaolites. 54 The sons of Salma: Bethlehem, the Netophathites, Atroth-beth-joab and half of the Manahathites, the Zorites. 55 The clans also of the scribes who lived at Jabez: the Tirathites, the Shimeathites and the Sucathites. These are the Kenites who came from Hammath, the father of the house of Rechab.

In Greek mythology, Salmoneus was the son of Aeolus and Enarete, the brother of Athamas and the father of Tyro. Salmoneus became King of Elis and founded the city of SalmoniaIn myths, Salmoneus tried to equal Zeus by riding a bronze chariot. He imitated thunder by dragging bronze kettles behind his chariot and hurled torches into the air to simulate lightning. He made all the efforts to prove his false divinity to his subjects and force them to make offerings to him. Zeus killed him with a lightning bolt and destroyed his kingdom to vindicate his honour as a true immortal.

Luke 2:8-20[8] And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. [9] An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. [10] But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. [11] Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. [12] This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."[13] Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,[14] "Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."[15] When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."Surrounding Christ's death on the cross, was a chain of miraculous events that gave tremendous testimony to (1) the uniqueness of Jesus Christ, (2) His claims as the Son of God, and (3) as a result, to the fact of the redemption that comes through faith in Him. Any one of these miracles alone would be astounding, but linked together they form an unbreakable chain of evidence that authenticates and declares Jesus Christ as truly the Son of God and the redemptive Savior of the world.

Matthew 27:45-53 Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, " Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ?"that is, " My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me ?" 47 And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah." 48 And immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine, and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. 49 But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him." 50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth shook; and the rocks were split, 52 and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.

Five miracles are recorded in this passage. They include:

The miraculous darkness that settled over the land.
The rending of the veil in the temple.
The shaking of the earth and the rocks splitting.
The opening of the tombs.
The raising of many saints who had died.

Elis, or Eleia (Greek, Modern: Ήλιδα Ilida, Ancient/Katharevousa: Ἤλις, also Ilis, Doric: Ἄλις) is an ancient district, that corresponds with the modern Elis Prefecture. It is in southern Greece on the Peloponnesos peninsula, bounded on the north by Achaea, east by Arcadia, south by Messenia, and west by the Ionian Sea.The local form of the name was Valis, or Valeia, and its meaning, in all probability, "the lowland." In its physical constitution Elis is practically one with Achaea and Arcadia; its mountains are mere offshoots of the Arcadian highlands, and its principal rivers are fed by Arcadian springs.

In myths, Salmoneus tried to equal Zeus by riding a bronze chariot. He imitated thunder by dragging bronze kettles behind his chariot and hurled torches into the air to simulate lightning. He made all the efforts to prove his false divinity to his subjects and force them to make offerings to him. Zeus killed him with a lightning bolt and destroyed his kingdom to vindicate his honour as a true immortal.

ALPHEIOS (or Alpheus) was a River-God of Elis and Arkadia, in the Peloponnesos, southern Greece.The River Alpheios had its headwaters in the south-eastern corner of Arkadia, flowing the length of the country into Elis in the east, past Olympia to reach the Ionian sea. Several of its tributory rivers were also personified, such as the Ladon, Erymanthos, Kladeos and Kytheros. Another personified Eleian river was the small Anigros to the south.

This Æolus was son of Hellen and the nymph Orseis, and a brother of Dorus, Xuthus and Amphictyon. He is described as the ruler of Aeolia (later called Thessaly) and held to be the founder of the Aeolic branch of the Greek/Hellenic nation. Æolus married Enarete, daughter of Deimachus (otherwise unknown). Æolus and Enarete had many children, although the precise number and identities of these children vary from author to author in the ancient sources. Those listed as the sons of Æolus and Enarete include Cretheus, Sisyphus, Deioneus, Salmoneus, Athamas, Perieres, Cercaphas and perhaps Magnes (who is usually regarded as a brother of Macedon) and Aethlius.Endymion (mythology)

That's an interesting theory or belief that Jon Presco wrote:

"I believe there was a search for the burial place of Solomon in Arcadia by Freemasons."
As a Freemason and Masonic Historian of over 30 years, I can confirm that there was no search for the burial place of King Solomon, nor was there any need for this, the location is well known and requires no further investigation. I'm afraid you need to draw some other conclusions regarding Arcadia, and hopefully they will be more accurate next time.

Sorry to have to burst the bubble, but there are a lot of incorrect assumptions made about Freemasonry, but I wish you luck with your pursuit for truth!
