There is an image of
what people believe Jesus looked like and that has been ingrained in the minds
of most individuals for all of their lives. However that image is believed to
false. Yet it is a vision of Jesus Christ that Christians and even people of
other and no faiths have grown accustomed to. The image of Jesus that has
become very common began many years ago back after Leonardo da Vinci started a
very close relationship with Cesare Borgia.
Leonardo and the child
of Rodrigo Borgia, who would later became Pope Alexander VI, was so close it
was believed they were lovers. Under the power of the Catholic Church, Pope
Alexander VI decided that he would have his son, Cesare Borgia used as the
model for Jesus in paintings that da Vinci was commissioned to do.
So Cesare Borgia
allowed his father to hire Leonardo to be a painter, architect and engineer for
the family, while in secret he himself took da Vinci on as his lover. However
Cesare was not choosy with his sexual partners. He also had sex with his own
sister Lucrezia, and killed his brother Giovanni in 1497. It is definitely
ironic the Catholic Church gave their consensus that this man would be chosen
to become the “face” of Jesus.
Why was this done? No
one knows for sure, but it was supposedly foretold in the original Bible,
before the Catholic Church got hold of it, there were a number of books of the
Apocrypha. Allegedly the Church found out that one of the apocryphal books was
entitled The Wisdom of Solomon and had been written many hundreds of years
before the occurrence of this fake image as Jesus from the Pope’s son. It was
written about in the old Bible. Because of this, the Roman Catholic Church
quickly removed the Wisdom of Solomon so people would never know of the
deception.
