Jesus stems from Greek mythology. Several of the Greek mythological Gods had sons with earthling virgins, particularly Zeus. One son died and rose again on the third day. There was a large Greek community in Judea and in the New International bible, Jesus is said to be a Greek.
Zeus lived at the top of a mountain and had 12 'guards'.
It was King Akenartun of Egypt [ He existed, not a myth] that first introduced an invisible God, as the moon and sun were not following his people's prayers.
When the new invisible God came to the notice of the Greeks, they then invented the story that Mary was a virgin and gave birth to his son.
There is quite a lot in the bible where, disciples travel to the Greek islands.
The book of Revelations refers to John being in Patmos
Also in Revelations it says....God told John that he would send Satan to the four corners of the earth, there aren't any corners, its a sphere. If there was a God and he created everything, he would know that there aren't any corners on a circle/ball/sphere and so would have said 'round the earth.' It was thought in those times that the earth was as a carpet and the mountains were there to weigh it down so that it didn't float off.
Also the 12 disciples/guards are the 12 signs of the stars [astrology]
The prophets would be the clairvoyants/mediums of that time. The medium these days, are often mocked but yet they were so revered then. Dreams/messages from the other side were taken seriously. Some prophets would love the attention they got by saying they'd received messages and would elaborate on those so called messages.
