🎙️ VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Did you know that there is an ancient Jewish tradition that presents the cross on Calvary in a whole new perspective? It involves the reason we know Golgotha as the place of the skull. But to understand it, we have to go all the way back to the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was paradise. God grew it, and He placed Adam and Eve into it to live and to be blessed. But they rebelled against God, and they invited sin into humanity, bringing with it death and banishment from this garden. The sin of all of humanity is on Adam's head. But God had a great plan of redemption through Christ, who was crucified. And the Bible tells us that in the place that he was crucified, there was a garden. It also tells us in Hebrews that he was crucified outside the city gate.

Which gate exactly? Well, the most likely candidate is... is what Josephus calls the Gneth gate, Gneth meaning garden. The gate having the same name of the place that it leads to. And the hill is called Golgotha in Aramaic, which all four gospels refer to as the place of the skull.

Now, we don't know exactly why, but the early church scholar, Origen, wrote in his commentary on the Gospel of Matthew in around 246 A.D. that there was a Hebrew tradition tradition that stated that the body of Adam, the first man, is buried there where Christ was crucified. So that, as in Adam all die, just so in Christ, all shall be made alive. This belief is built on by Epiphanus, the bishop of Salamis, who takes it a step further by saying, "By being crucified above the remains of Adam." our Lord Jesus Christ mystically showed our salvation through the water and blood that flowed from Him through His pierced side, beginning to sprinkle our forefathers' remains." He believed that not only is the spot spiritually significant, but that where the earth shook and the rocks split, it made a physical passageway beneath the cross so the physical blood could touch the skull of Adam, therefore redeeming all mankind. Later, in the fourth century, Basil of Caesarea writes in his commentary on Isaiah that this was God's plan all along, that he accepted death in the place called the place of the skull in order that the life of the kingdom of heaven should originate from the same place in which the corruption of men took its origin. Essentially, that God created a divine symmetry of redemption between Adam and Christ.

This idea has passed on to us through religious artwork. We see in this fresco painted in the 1300s the cross and beneath it the skull. And here's a fresco from a modern Eastern Orthodox church showing the same scene as well. Now, great changes had been taking place in the Roman Empire. Under Constantine, Christianity went from persecuted to protected. He built at least three churches in the Holy Land over sacred ground where Christians had been gathering for centuries to worship Christ. He built one in Bethlehem over the cave where Christ was born, one on the Mount of Olives where Jesus taught his disciples and ascended. And most of the time, he built three churches in Bethlehem over the cave where Christ was born. He built one over the spot where Jesus was crucified and buried this church is known as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and it was consecrated in 335 AD. This is merely 300 years after Christ's death and resurrection Christians would not have forgotten the place just as modern Americans know many of the places that George Washington visited and where he died and was buried now 224 years later.

It also helped that Emperor Hadrian built a massive temple to Venus in 135 AD over the site of Golgotha. In his attempt to desecrate the site, he actually preserved the exact location of Calvary. According to the early Christian historian Eusebius, Helena, the mother of... Constantine, arrived in the Holy Land to the site of the crucifixion, ordered the temple to be torn down and initiated, with the help of Macarius the Bishop of Jerusalem, what is essentially the first example of archaeology seen in history, a massive dig to recover the original tomb of Christ and Calvary.

Now what of the tradition of Adam's skull? We don't see it referenced in the original original church, but we see it begin to emerge again in 630 AD,...
