Mary Magdalene - The First Pope

This is the untold story of Mary Magdalene because new evidence has been uncovered, which shows that Jesus had chosen her as his successor. The breakthrough came when an answer was found for the following puzzle in the Gospel of John:

How could Mary Magdalene see two angels sitting in the tomb on the morning of the resurrection while Peter could only see the folded linen clothes?

The new evidence shows that the gospel writers had applied the holy tabernacle of Moses as an image for the tomb to explain the resurrection. That was why it stated in the gospels that the veil of the temple or tabernacle was torn in two when Jesus died on the cross. Those writers wrote the gospels some thirty to seventy years after the resurrection and they had a purpose for using the holy tabernacle as an image for the tomb. The tabernacle was a mobile temple and it had two rooms one of which was where the regular priests were restricted too. In contrast, the other inner room was reserved for God and only the high priest could enter into it and it had two cherubim sitting at either end of the Lord's seat. With the tabernacle as an image for the tomb it indicated that Peter only had access to the outer room where he saw the linen clothes whereas Mary Magdalene was able to see into the inner room where she saw the two angelic cherubim sitting at either end of where the body of Jesus had lain on the seat. It meant that Mary Magdalene had the same status as the traditional high priest and was therefore destined to succeed Jesus. She should now be recognised as the first Pope.
