The Author's Note

Ever since I have written and published in 1971 the research "DESTRUCTION OR PEACE" (containing 834 pages) people have been after me to publish something which is very short so that a much wider circle of today's busy public may be able to read and gain out of the vast knowledge which has been gathered by me and which is unknown to the masses.

This treatise is based on the leading Religious Scriptures of the World including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhs etc. It also includes the works of learned scholars, researchers and scientists. Quotations from several rare manuscripts have been included, some of which are the only copies known to be in existence.

As a few excerpts reproduced in this research are based amongst other sources on the "Gospel of Barnabas”. So a few lines are given hereunder as to who is the author of this Gospel.

SAINT BARNABAS

Saint Barnabas was a Levite Jew from Cyprus. His name was Joses. Barnabas was not his name nor his family title. He met Holy Jesus, son of Virgin Mary (Peace of God be on them). He was so much influenced by Jesus that he sold all his properties. He donated the entire proceeds for the propa­gation of the teachings of Jesus (Acts 4 : 36-37). He became a very ardent follower of Jesus. Under the personal dictations of Jesus he recorded the "Evangel of Jesus" in Hebrew Language, the mother-tongue of Jesus. These dictations of Jesus were written down in the presence of Jesus, before his departure from earthly life according to the declaration made at the beginning of this Gospel.

This Gospel according to George Sale contains a complete history of Jesus Christ from his birth to his ascension; and most of the circumstances of the four real gospels are to be found therein (Page XIII of Notes to the Readers by George Sales in his translation of "The Koran" published by Frederick Warne and Co., London and New York in 1891 which is a reproduction “The Koran" by George Sale which was originally published in November 1734, in a quarto volume, and was inscribed to Lord Carteret).

For his devotion to Jesus, Joses was given in Hebrew the title of "Bar Nabuha". "Bar" means "Son of" whilst "Nabuha" means “Of the Nabi i. e. Prophet". This title of Barnabas or "Son of the Prophet" was given by all the Jewish Prophets to their religious heir or successor. For example the Barnabas of Moses was Joshua, of Samuel was David, of David was Solomon, of Elijah was Elisha, of Elisha was Jehu, of Zakariah was his son John, of John the Baptist was Jesus when he anointed Jesus. Hence the title of Barnabas the Greek form of Barnabuha means that the Levite Jew Joses was made the Barnabuha or the spiritual heir by Holy Jesus. Thus by this appointment it was the duty of St Barnabas to carry on the real teachings of Jesus after he was lifted to heaven.

The followers of Jesus split into two groups. The Jewish Group claimed :

"And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren and said. Except ye be circumcised ( as Jesus was when he was 8 days old-St. Luke 2 : 21-24 ) after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved" (Acts 15 : 1).

"...Preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only" (Acts 11 : 19).

Pointing out that Jesus himself had ordered his disciples to preach only to the circumcised Jews and not to the uncircumcised Gentiles as follows :

"These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying : Go not into the way of the Gentiles and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not :

"But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (St. Matthew 10 : 5 & 6).

"And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus.

“And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God" (Acts 15 : 39 & 40).

St. Barnabas left for Cyprus where he preached and event­ually died. He was buried in Cyprus. In 382 A.D. during an excavation in Cyprus, the grave of St. Barnabas got opened.

The copy of a Gospel of Jesus written in Hebrew in the personal handwriting of St. Barnabas was found lying upon his chest. The said Gospel was intact. As if it had just been placed inside the grave. So also was the body of St. Barnabas. Both of these are no doubt miracles. Otherwise both the Gospel and the body of St. Barnabas could not have remained intact for over 300 years in the damp Mediterranean climate.

It is an Eastern Custom to bury one's most important treasure in one's grave. The very fact that this Hebrew Gospel was found lying intact after more than 300 years on the chest of St. Barnabas clearly proves that this treasured Hebrew Gospel in the mother-tongue recorded before Jesus was lifted to heaven, was not only the Original teachings of Jesus but it was also the dictations of Jesus recorded during his presence in his mother-tongue as stated in the opening verses of this Gospel. Otherwise why should it be placed upon the chest of St. Barnabas in his grave?

"Red Letter Holidays" are special Holy days for the obser­vation of the feasts of saints. Special services are set apart for them in the Book of Common Prayers. One of these important saints happens to be St. Barnabas. His feast is observed on 11th June. It is a Red Letter Day in the British Calender.

Barnabas has been cited by Clement Alexandrinus, Origen, Epusebius, Jerome and many of the Ancient fathers. Cotelerius affirms that Origen and Jerome also regarded it as authentic and canonical. Dr. Barnard Savilian professor at Oxford, not only believed it to be genuine but also that it was read throughout in the Churches at Alexandria as the canonical scriptures uptil the early part of the fourth century (i. e. until rhe Nicaean Council of 325 A.D.).

This Hebrew Gospel in the handwriting of Barnabas has been lying since its rediscovery in the Pope's Private Library at The Vatican in Rome.

The Hebrews have always regarded any book of the Old Testament not originally written in Hebrew as Apocryphal. Unfortunately all the existing handwritten Hebrew Gospels of Jesus were burnt in 325 A. D. by the Roman Emperor Saint Constantine at the Nicaean Council after being seized from Arius, a priest of Alexandria, who taught that Jesus was not co-eternal with God but was created by Him and therefore Jesus was inferior to God.

Constantine ordered the new Greek Bibles of the New Testament be written in the language of his choice i.e. Greek to replace those that were in Hebrew, the rnother-tongue of Jesus. In the Greek New Testaments Emperor Constantine introduced the Greek letter "X" pronounced "Chi" from which the word Christ has been derived with the date of Christmas, the sign of the Cross, Crucification, the fixation and the first observation of Easter, the only begotten son of God and Sun God's day i.e. Sunday be observed as the Sabbath. Constantine ordered these for the sake of uniformity to make this religion similar to the Pagan Roman faith which originated from Babylon and was then known as Mitraism.

The Italian Monk Fra Marino was a very close friend of Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590 A.D.). He was very anxious to read the Gospel of Barnabas, which was one of the Hebrew Original Gospels of Jesus, which were known to have escaped the burning of 325 A.D. So it was put on the list of Apocryphal Gospels. Pope Sixtus V gave special permission to Monk Fra Marino to studv the Hebrew Gospel of Barnabas in the Pope’s Private Library at the Vatican. Monk Fra Merino made a transla­tion of rhe Gospel of Barnabas from the Hebrew Original into Italian, his Mother-tongue. This Original Italian in the handwriting style prevalent at the end of sixteenth century in Italy, in paper manufactured in that period is now lying in the imperial Library at Vienna. It has notes in the margin in Arabic. This shows that Monk Fra Marino also knew Arabic. Arabic was the general international language of the time.

This copy of the Gospel of Barnabas was translated from the Italian at Imperial Library, Vienna by Lonsdale and Laura Ragg and published by Clarendon Press of Oxford University in 1907 A.D.

One copy of the Italian text cum-English translation of this Gospel with the Arabic Notations has been traced in the British Museum, London from where a Photo-copy has been obtained by me. All other printed copies of this edition has disappeared. Apparently some organisation has purchased from the market all the printed copies of the Gospel and destroyed them. That is why not a single copy is available anywhere except in some prominent Libraries. It is clear that somebody is trying to hide the contents of the Gospel of Barnabas from reaching the Christian World.

More details about this Gospel will be found on pages 162-170 of 'DESTRUCTION OR PEACE' as well as the Notes and introduction of this Gospel by Mr. & Mrs. Ragg.

I end this note with the prayer :

"The Good God, Almighty and Kind
Make this a guidance for Mankind".

PART ONE

God Said :

“Let there be Light”

(Genesis 1 : 3)

Chapter 1 : Man In The World Of Science

The world of today is thriving upon Science and its daily fantas­tic developments. If one is sick, it is the modern medicines that cures. The daily luxuries of life so essential for man's comforts are provided by science. These amongst so many others include elect­ricity and its wonders of light, heat, cooking ranges, frigidaires, wash­ing machines, radios, televisions, cars, trucks, trains, ships, aircrafts, electronic equipments, calculating machines, computers etc. These have intoxicated man with its charm, comfort, wealth, position and power.

As the common man does not have any scientifically proveable evidence of life after death, so he considers death the total end of everything. Therefore achievement for him is the material success and the name he can acquire in this life. This is his all. He cannot understand that after death when his body would have been reduced to dust and after his dust would get scattered and mixed with tha earth all around, how could it ever be possible for him to be raised from the dead when no trace whatsoever of him is left anywhere?

Four thousand years back Nimrod, the first king of mankind after The Great Deluge, was a rebel against God. He even tried to shoot and kill God. That is how he got the title of the "Mighty hunter” against God [1]. He was the builder of the "Tower of Babel" [2]. The top of this tower temple was so very high that clouds used to float under its top. "Bab" means "Gateway" and "El" means "to perfection or heaven". That is how this tower got its name "Bab-el" which stands for "Gateway to Heaven". A painting of the Tower of Babel has been done by Pieter Bruegel. It shows the clouds floating under the top of the Tower of Babel. This painting is shown on page 63 of “Science and Discovery" under the heading of "Man Reaches to the Heavens" published for International Pictorial Treasury of Knowledge by International Graphic Society, Engleswood Cliffs, New Jersey, U. S. A.

King Nimrod propagated that everything in the universe including mankind had come about due to a process of 'Evolution' by nature i. e. merely by a freak accident in a meaningless universe. So also destruction of everything merely depended upon time. Hence there was no such thing as a reward for good deeds done on earth in a "heaven”. Nor will there be any punishment for vice committed during this life in a "hell". The Universe will exist for ever.

Nimrod claimed there was no necessity for a God. Especially for such a God whom none could contact, see, feel, or talk to. Therefore everyone must rely upon themselves if they wanted to achieve anything. It was defeatism and cowardice to put the blame for one's shortcomings on God. Therefore belief upon such a God was the height of absurdity and ignorance. These theories have become the basis of Atheism and Communism.

Nimrod further taught that people should rely upon their wisdom and skill to plan and their strength and efforts to execute their objec­tive The wondrous cities with their palaces, the bridges across the Euphrates, the building of dams and irrigation canals, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the extraction of copper, the manufacture of bronze etc. were the results of hard work and human intelligence.

When the “Tower Temple of Babel" was put to ungodly worship [3] the curse of God fell upon entire Mankind. At this point of time the generations of Noah were united with one language. Overnight the single language of the builders of Babel changed into numerous different languages. This caused chaos and confusion. This curse broke up the unity of Mankind. Different language groups departed from Babylon in different directions to set up separate nations and Kingdoms. With the numerous Nations around us, one realises that this curse is still plaguing man even after 4000 years, and preventing unity amongst Mankind. Now its Nuclear race threatens the very existence of man on Earth.

Man challenges— Has anyone who has been dead come back to life to give proof that there is life after this earthly life? He does not believe in the first miracle of the raising of the dead to life, after the body had been deliberately cut, mutilated, mixed and scattered over a vast area so as to leave no trace :

"And when Abraham said (unto God) ; My Lord : Show me how Thou givest life unto the dead (after it has been reduced to dust and scattered in the earth and become naught). He asked: Dost thou not believe ? Abraham replied ; Yea. but I ask in order that my heart may be at ease. (God) advised : Take thou then any four of the birds (i e. four different species; Abraham took a peacock, an eagle, a dove and a cock), and cause them to incline unto thee ( i. e. teach each of them to come to you when you call their respective names and when these birds have been so trained then cut them up into small pieces and mix these pieces all together ). Then scatter this mixture of cut up pieces on each of the (several nearby) hills, Then call them, ( and you win see before your eyes how the scatte­red mutilated parts will come flying from the different directions of that particular type of bird which you have called and you wilI see how) they will come to thee, (reassemble and come back once again to life ) in haste. And know that Allah is Mighty, Wise" [4].

Modern man basically does not believe in any "Miracle". Because miracles cannot be substantiated by scientific methods of testing. Hence miracles are beyond the scope of knowledge of ordinary man. Yet Man thinks himself in his pride and arrogance to be the all knowing and nothing is beyond him !

Science is proving daily before us that it is far from perfect and cannot meet all the problems facing us. New theories or processes are being discovered or proved showing that the previous theories which were relied upon to be correct were in fact wrong. In spite of these daily facts the modern Man contends that unless some modern methods of research could show that there is life definitely after this life, most men are not inclined to pay any heed to the question of resurrection. Just because it has not been proved to his satis­faction by rigid scientific tests, he refuses to believe in the evidences before him. He usually discards the existing evidences as unproved.

On the other hand all scriptures the world over proclaim :

This our present life on earth is transitory – This is evidenced by the facts of life. Not a single person from the time of creation of Adam is alive with us today. No not even the mighty kings nor any scientist nor anyone else has survived for thousands of years to be with us today: Man, inspite of all his past and present scientific achievements including visiting the moon and possibly other planets has failed in his most cherished attempt of prolong­ing his life indefinitely. All religions teach that God Almighty is the only One Who is alive from infinity till eternity [5]. That the entire universe has not come out of nothing. It has not come about by chance or accident. And that the "Something" from which this vast unfathomable creation has come about is from the Creator. It is He, Who has created Man for a very definite purpose saying :

"For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return'' [6].

''For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ?" [7].

"Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in that which all that are in the graves shall hear HIS voice,"

“And shall come forth (from their graves) : they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life ; and they that have done ill, unto the resurrection of damnation" [8].

But I say unto you, that every idle word that man shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement" [9].

"For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested" [10].

"And as I saw the dead small and great, stand before God: and the books were opened : and another book was opened, which is the book of life : and the deed were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works" [11].

All religious books make it clear that Man has come on this earth for a very definite purpose at the will of God, Who is the Creator of all things. As such Man will have to give an account for what he has done on earth. And on that basis Man is to be rewarded or will suffer in the next life. For this purpose Man would be resurrected from the dead long long after he has died and become dust and his dust scattered into nothingness and his identity completely lost. That He Who created Man originally out of nothingness, when no trace of him existed can certainly recreate him once more out of nothingness whenever He likes without any difficulty whatsoever. That all power rests in and with God.
