The secret library

Eli has a secret.

It’s a big secret. One so big that, if known, it would shake the foundations of one of the largest and most powerful business and financial conglomerates in the world. So, how would he protect this knowledge? Where would he hide this secret?

My principal character, Eliazar ben Aharon (Lazarus of Bethany) was given a specific directive by Yeshua ben Joseph (Jesus Christ) at his reanimation. It was a simple task:

 “Wherever and whenever, and in whatever form Yeshua’s wife Miriam reincarnates into earthly life, Eliazar must find her and keep her safe. Except for this one duty, the course of his life is his own and the journals he keeps that recount his travels and inner contemplations are his only constant companion.”

Over nearly 2000 years Eli has amassed thousands of journals.

Where to store them? 

The hiding place must be secure, vault like, and constantly guarded, visible but sequestered and protected by great power. But he would still need access because the secret grows with every passing year, every passing decade.  Where would he find such a hiding place?

For nearly 400 years Eli watches the Church of Jesus Christ become a force in the Roman empire. Eventually the emperor Constantine builds the first St. Peter’s Basilica which becomes the center of Roman Christianity. By the 15th century work has started on the Vatican as we know it today.

 This is where Eli decides to build a secret library to which only he and four others have access.

Where else to sequester a great secret than within the body of that which seeks to silence your truth?
