Mark 14:24:
24. “And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed
for many.”

This language is widely recognized by scholars and theologians as a direct “scriptural pair” to the prophecy in Isaiah 53:12, which provides the historical-prophetic foundation for Christ’s warning and mission: “…and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
It is completely obvious that Yashava did not shed His blood for everyone. Then the christians come back with; He removed the sins of the whole world! Again, this is scripturally untrue. He is the one who removes the sins of the world, but obviously that is a future event, because this world is drowning in sin! When He returns, He will destroy the wicked and remove sin from the world. The only people that will benefit from that removal are the children of Israel, and those who join themselves to Israel. All is welcome, and none are rejected, but there is one law for the homeborn and the stranger alike!
Now that we have identified Yashava’s mission, and where He removed His people and the Head of His true Levitical Priesthood to, we can begin exposing the Fourth Betrayal. The Historical Evidence: Polycrates to Victor, Polycrates was the Bishop of Ephesus and represented the “holy seed” that had migrated to Asia Minor. In his 190 A.D. letter, he lists the great “lights” of the church who kept the Passover on the 14th day of the moon (the biblical date), contrary to the Roman Easter.
The specific excerpt regarding John: “Moreover, there is John, who was both a witness and a teacher, who reclined upon the bosom of the Lord, and, being a priest, wore the sacerdotal plate (petalon); he fell asleep at Ephesus.”— Eusebius, Church History (Historia Ecclesiastica), Book V, Chapter 24.
The Forensic Significance of the “Sacerdotal Plate” This “slip” in the historical record is devastating to the “Fourth Betrayal” for several reasons: The Sacerdotal Plate (Petalon): The petalon was the golden plate worn on the forehead of the Levitical High Priest (inscribed with “Holiness to Yahavah”). By stating that John wore this, Polycrates is identifying John as the true, legitimate successor to the High Priesthood—not the Edomite interlopers in Jerusalem, and certainly not the burgeoning “Popes” in Rome.
The Authority of Ephesus: This proves that the leadership of the True Way had moved from the “Viper’s Den” of Jerusalem to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor. Polycrates wrote this specifically to tell the Roman Bishop that he didn’t care about Roman decrees. He was following the authority of the “High Priest” John and the original Apostles, not the “Universal” system.
