In collecting reference links for my End Times article, I ran across mention of a book, The Sistine Secrets, that features itself as revealing the secrets of Michelangelo's artwork in the Sistine Chapel. I have already mentioned art historian Waldemar Januszczak's documentary of the name The Michelangelo Code. At first the theses of the two works appear to contradict each other, but I think they can be resolved under my larger theory of the 'False Dialectic', which is scripted into both the OT and the NT.
Under my theory the Jews have been scripted to play the role of the underhanded 'Judas', or in other words a collective Suffering Servant, for the seeming greater good of all humanity. This was why they were burdened with the severely extreme cultural inversion laws of Moses, which made them social pariahs. They are depicted in their own holy book from the days of their patriarch, Judah, as being morally suspect, to say the least. This is all contrived artifice, performed to achieve the subtext of globalism found throughout the OT and the NT.
From the book's Jewish perspective, Michelangelo was trying to pull one over on the Della Rovere popes, the first of whom had had the Sistine Chapel constructed to honor St. Francis of Assisi and his outlook, according to Januszczak's investigation. The circumstances that WJ collates seem to me to trump the book's contention, albeit the book may indeed be generally correct about the nature of the Jewish motif of the artwork.
The reason being is that as WJ conclusively (to me) demonstrates that, before the artwork was introduced, the chapel was constructed to fulfill the Della Rovere popes' (Sixtus IV and Julius II) Franciscan End Times cosmoview. Centrally that the chapel was based upon the proportions of what is claimed for Solomon's Temple, a distinctly OT motif.
It was in Sixtus's papal reign that Columbus (Christopher Colon) was sent off to start the colonization of the New World, i.e. to Conquer it under the prior OT terms of the Conquest of Canaan. And here is that papal name of 'Julius' a case of irony, or rather an honorific? Additionally, the day before Columbus embarked from Spain, the Jews were expelled by the Spanish Crown, all part of the global chess game.
WJ also recounted that Julius had launched an odd military campaign against the city of Bologna, capturing it easily, and then insisting on re-entering Rome (New Jerusalem?) on horseback with palm fronds waving on the correct ceremonial date for Jesus's entering Jerusalem on donkey. Of course, Julius Caesar returned to Rome on horseback, being asked whether he was king, and shortly later he was 'sacrificed'. He became god on the third day and his son became the Prince of Peace of the Pax Romana.
As such, I assert that these popes, and such as John XXIII (the Good Pope), and John Paul II (mentioned in the book's link) understood perfectly the roles of the tribe of Judah. It was with the post-WWII pope John XXIII who asserted that he was the Jews' 'Joseph', a restatement that Judah was obedient to Joseph and Joseph's son Ephraim. To beat a dead horse, James Carroll detailed the consistent Catholic Church theology from the time of St. Augustine onward that asserts that the Jews were indeed to be the negative foils for the sake of the greater cause. Here, I strongly assert that the average Jew, just like the average Christian, has no conception that this cynical deception could be case, and thus the case for the Jewish authors of the book.
John XXIII's assertion that he was the Jew's 'Joseph' was the symbolic fulfilling of the prophecy that the "two sticks become one" from Ezekiel 37, thus allowing the Jews to overtly join the gentil global club, and pass on the foil baton of suffering to the current 'freedom haters' and 'freedom loving-freedom haters', xenophobes against globalism. The latter having had their pioneer ancestors doing the dirty work of real estate Conquest against the barbarians du jour. All that 'family' farm land now mostly soaked up via financial machinations into the hands of the large corporations.
This is how the shepherds of humans fleece their flocks, the 'useful' sheep mostly never figure the game out, always in thrall to the latest golden Trumpet.
