Jesus as
the Reincarnation of Horus
 Reincarnation
is the ancient belief of how the circumstances
of our lives are often governed by the karma
(both good and bad) of lives we have lived in
the past. Bad karma committed in previous lives
which are not overcome, means the same negative
circumstances will confront the person over and over again in
future lives until they are overcome. In this
sense, karma can be viewed as "memory." Bad karma
is overcome with good karma - good deeds which
"pay the karmic debt" owned from previous lives.
When a person's amount of good karma becomes
greater than their bad karma, then the
circumstances in their life become favorable.
Reincarnation IS
karma and it is the goal of every person to
overcome the cycle of birth and rebirth in order
to attain "enlightenment" or "at-one-ment with
God which leads to receiving permanent
membership in heaven. So the process of
reincarnation means people face the same
circumstances from one life to the next. This is
why some scholars believe Horus to be a previous
incarnation of Jesus because their lifetime
circumstances were so similar and
synchronistic.
Jesus
was referred to as
the chief cornerstone (or
"capstone") - a reference to the top stone of an Egyptian pyramid.
The chief cornerstone of the pyramid is same symbol
for
Horus,
the Egyptian god and savior. Like the Egyptian pharoah,
Jesus was called a shepherd who rules the nations
with a staff. Horus was a popular Egyptian god who
was the son of Osiris and Isis. Osiris and Horus
were both solar deities. Osiris was the setting
sun, Horus the rising sun. Jesus is the rising Son
and the morning star. The pharoah was considered
to be an incarnation of Horus (also known as "Amen-Ra,"
the sun god). In the same way, Jesus is considered
to be the incarnation of his heavenly Father. Horus
was the lamb of God who took away the sins of the
world. Horus had an adversary named "Set".
Jesus' adversary was "Satan".
The story of Horus can
be found in "The
Egyptian Book of the Dead
(also known as the "Papyrus of Ani") written
over 3,000 years before the birth of Christ.

Identical Life Experiences |
1. |
It is written that both Horus and Jesus
existed before their incarnations.
|
2. |
Horus was born of the virgin Isis on
December 25th in a cave/manger. |
3. |
Horus' birth was announced by a star
in the East and attended by three wise
men. |
4. |
The infant Horus was carried out of
Egypt to escape the wrath of Typhon.
The infant Jesus was carried into Egypt
to escape the wrath of Herod. Concerning
the infant Jesus, the New Testament
states the following prophecy: "Out
of Egypt have I called my son." (Matthew
2:15) |
5. |
He was a child teacher in the temple
and was baptized by Anup the Baptizer
when he was thirty years old. |
6. |
He had twelve disciples and performed
miracles such as feeding bread to the
multitude and walking on water. |
7. |
He raised one man, El-Azar-us, from
the dead. |
8. |
He transfigured on a mount. |
9. |
He also had titles such as the "way,
the truth, the light, the Messiah, God's
anointed Son, the Son of Man, the good
shepherd, the lamb of God, the Word,
the Morning Star, the light of the world. |
10. |
He was "the Fisher," and was associated
with the lamb, lion and fish ("Ichthys"). |
11. |
Horus's personal epithet was "Iusa,"
the "ever-becoming son" of "Ptah,"
the "Father." |
12. |
Horus was called "KRST," or
"Anointed One. |
13. |
He was crucified, buried in a tomb and
resurrected. |
14. |
The adoration of the Virgin and Child
is connected with both the adoration
of Isis and the infant Horus and the
adoration of Mary and infant Jesus.
In the catacombs at Rome are pictures
of the baby Horus being held by the
virgin mother Isis, the original "Madonna
and Child." |
15. |
Concerning the writing of the Gnostics,
C. W. King, a noted English author,
says: "To this period belongs a beautiful
sard in my collection, representing
Serapis,...whilst before him stands
Isis, holding in one hand the sistrum,
in the other a wheatsheaf, with the
legend: 'Immaculate is our lady Isis,'
the very term applied afterwards to
that personage who succeeded to her
form, her symbols, rites, and ceremonies"
(Gnostics and Their Remains, p. 71). |
16. |
Osiris, Isis, and Horus are the principal
trinity of the Egyptian religions. God
the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy
Spirit is the Christian trinity. Dr.
Inman affirms the Egyptian roots of
the Christian trinity "The Christian
trinity is of Egyptian origin, and is
as surely a pagan doctrine as the belief
in heaven and hell, the existence of
a devil, of archangels, angels, spirits
and saints, martyrs and virgins, intercessors
in heaven, gods and demigods, and other
forms of faith which deface the greater
part of modern religions" (Ancient Pagan
and Modem Christian Symbolism, p. 13). |
17. |
Dr. Draper says: "For thirty centuries
the Egyptians had been familiar with
the conception of a triune God. There
was hardly a city of any note without
its particular triads. Here it was Amum,
Maut, and Khonso; there Osiris, Isis,
and Horus" (Intellectual Development,
Vol. I, p. 191). |
18. |
Dr. Draper stated: "Views of the Trinity,
in accordance with Egyptian tradition,
were established. Not only was the adoration
of Isis under a new name restored, but
even her image standing on the crescent
moon reappeared. The well-known effigy
of that goddess, with the infant Horus
in her arms, has descended to our days
in the beautiful artistic creations
of the Madonna and Child." (Conflict,
p. 48). |
19. |
Mrs. Besant believes that Christianity
has its main roots in Egypt: "It grew
out of Egypt; its gospels came from
thence [Alexandria]; its ceremonies
were learned there; its Virgin is Isis;
its Christ, Osiris and Horus." |
20. |
There are two stories connected with
Horus that is analogous to stories found
in the Old Testament. The hiding of
the infant Horus in a marsh by his mother
undoubtedly parallels the story of the
hiding of the infant Moses in a marsh
by his mother. When Horus died, Isis
implored Ra, the sun, to restore him
to life. Ra stopped his ship in mid-heaven
and sent down Thoth, the moon, to bring
him back to life. The stopping of the
sun and moon by Isis recalls the myth
of the stopping of the sun and moon
by Joshua. |

"Osiris,
I am your son, come to glorify your soul,
and to give you even more power."
- Horus (Book of the Dead, Ch. 173) |
"Now is the
Son of Man glorified and God is glorified
in him. If God is glorified in him, God
will glorify the Son in himself, and will
glorify him at once." -
Jesus, (John 13:31-32) |
