Everybody has heard of Jesus - you know, our Lord and Savior, the Perfect Lamb who died on our behalf in order to afford believers everlasting life. But did you also happen to know He had a wife and kids? Or that He survived the crucifixion, and then traveled to India where He eventually died and was buried? No kidding! You can even visit His tomb in Kashmir....

If you think this smacks of "The DaVinci Code" and other trash novels that supposedly prove Yeshua's mere "humanness", guess again - because the REAL truth can be found in Suzanne Olsson's book, Jesus - Last King of Kashmir! (Actually, the name on her book is "Suzanna Olsson". Her e-mail addresses show "Suzanne". What her name actually is, is anybody's guess.)

Olsson believes she is a descendant of Yeshua (although you won't find His given Name anywhere in her book or on her website) - specifically, of "Jesus and Mary Magdalene". She supposedly "became interested in research of Jesus in India after a local museum in Demarest, N.J. linked her family genealogy to Mary Magdalene".....

Naturally, the "logical progression" in Olsson's genealogy would be to assume that Jesus got together with Mary Magdalene because, after all, she WAS mentioned in the Bible and they WERE alive at the same time. Oh yes, and by the way, Olsson's genealogy attempts to prove that He created some not-so-immaculate conceptions in the form of two sons named - what else? - Jesus Jr. - and Josephus, along with a daughter named Tamar/Demara. (Gosh - did the ancient Jews really name their kids "Jr."? As far as we can tell, there aren't any "Jr.'s" anywhere in the Old Testament....)

When and if you are able to stop rolling on the floor, laughing, be sure to check out Olsson's "proof" of her Jesus lineage in the form of heavily colorized photos that feature not only herself with obviously colorized blue eyes (about halfway down the page) which were inherited, no doubt, from Jesus whose luminous blue eyes somehow manifested themselves upon examination of the colorless Shroud of Turin!

Olsson's biography outlines, among many other bizarre allegations, her "ability to dodge Taliban, bombs and beheadings as she teetered on the brink of obtaining ancient DNA from the tomb of Jesus in Kashmir". (Teetering "on the brink of gathering DNA" certainly explains why she couldn't possibly have gathered it! And isn't it baffling that she hasn't considered sharing her uncanny "ability to dodge Taliban, bombs and beheadings" with the U.S. Marines? They would probably love to pick her brain and learn how they, too, could manage to dodge bullets and leap tall building in a single bound....)

Throughout her website, Olsson mixes Biblical Truth with myths, legends, various word-of-mouth "religious" traditions, and magic. The following taken from her geneology page is a perfect example of this:

In the British Isles, Joseph, Mary, and this family were known as the Gew-ISSAE, which means the Knowers, or Wise Ones. They represented a branch of Essenes known as the Teselphas-Essene. From here, from the land of Gewissae also came Merlin, King Arthur, and Camelot. The roles and connections between Druids and magi is exactly the same. One is the eastern branch of the other. The Buddha, Siddharta is also linked to this family through his great grandfather, Yudhisthistra, the Hebrew King David, making Jesus and the Buddha 'cousins.' The family was always considered royalty (never as shepherds and 'poor' carpenters) and formed a special royal link between Hebrews, Egyptians, Celts, and Rajas.

"Never as shepherds and 'poor' carpenters." Well, that doggone lying Bible!....Good thing we have science and honest, all-knowing, all-seeing human beings to give us the straight scoop!

Olsson is such a tease, bless her heart. On her Maps to Graves she tells us: "Once pillars stood here declaring Jesus and Thomas made repairs to this temple. The pillars are gone now." Gosh, that's too bad. If the pillars were still there, we might be able to check the facts for ourselves.....

As evidenced in e-mail correspondence (dated February 5, 2006) between Suzanne Olsson and BiblicalTruth (former webmaster of The Refiner's Fire), Olsson proved that she has no clue about God, Yeshua, or the Bible, in general:

Let me try to throw out some very broad ideas to you....we are a "carbon-base" life form...neither us, nor the planet we live on are meant to be long-term abodes for life. Eventually this will all pass away. But there is another kind of life-form, a "Light-based" life form....and that's what I believe Jesus, angels, ascended masters, and all were (are).

What I found on the Old Silk Road is that he influenced the final versions of several major religions ... Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity all were influenced by him, and they all recognize him as a divine being who once lived among them. He did not leave the Holy Land to live a life of fear or secrecy. Quite the contrary, he was an incredible man who had much work to do around the world before God took him home. That he survived the crucifixion and was able to complete God's plan is, to me, the true miracle of the cross.

At the risk of bursting Olsson's bubble, our Savior (whose given name, by the way, was not "Jesus", but Yeshua, which means "Salvation"), came NOT to "influence" other religions but to fulfill His role as the FINAL SIN SACRIFICE, as foreshadowed throughout the entire Tanach ("Old Testament") and established in the Brit Chadasha ("New Testament)! The Bible tells us He was the "Son of God", because God Himself supernaturally impregnated Miriam (Mary) and thus provided us with the final Sin Sacrifice who would afford eternal salvation to all believers (see Qualifications of Messiah in a Nutshell; Daniel 7:9-14; Luke 1; Matthew 1; Matthew 3:17; Luke 1:32 and 2:40, 52; John 1:29; 1 John 4:9, 10, 14; Romans 1:3-4, etc.)

If He hadn't died at the cross, He could never have been our Sin Sacrifice, which would render the entire New Testament null and void. If some "look-alike" was crucified instead of Yeshua, as Olsson suggests - then that, in itself, would completely negate our Savior's purpose in this world! In order to be our FINAL and DIVINE SIN SACRICE, He HAD to be put to death! Without that event, we would ALL be headed for hell - including her "relative", Jesus!

Olsson's story makes no sense and NONE of what she says can be backed up Biblically. As a matter of fact, comments in her e-mail of March 25, 2006, reveal where she gets her crazy ideas:

The ideas I express have their roots with people like Edgar Casey, Zecharaiah Sitchen, and even Genesis itself in the Bible. While you are at ait (at it), please also explain Genesis, the Elohim, and the fact that Jesus was seen by witnesses in the flesh even years after the crucifixion...there are many very ancient documents you can research about this too....

Er..."the Elohim"? Apparently, she's getting the Bible confused with the rantings of that kooky flying saucer cult, the Raelians whose mentors, "the Elohim" are three-foot aliens who supposedly created mankind? (Yes, The Refiner's Fire has challenged the Raelians, too!)

As for Zechariah Sitchen - he has been repeatedly debunked and refuted by EVERY OTHER EXPERT in his field. His claims about Ancient Sumeria are completely fictional or, at best, utterly illogical. The "Joy of Satan" (consisting mostly of eleven to eighteen year old kids) and several other sects of Satanism got many of their ideas from him. Your "ancestor" Jesus would hardly approve, Suzanne!

This whole thing is too ridiculous to waste more time on. If you have any questions about Yeshua's life, please see Yeshua: Deity, Lunatic, or Liar? Better yet, just read the Bible and get THE REAL scoop, straight from God's "breathed" Word!

In the meantime, may God forgive Suzanne Olsson for the blatant lies she's perpetrated on the world. Trying to reason with her has only resulted in more "New Age" responses that make no sense. It seems she just another "false prophet" intent on trying to destroy Biblical truth. We'll all keep you in our prayers, Suzanne!
