Kaneh Bosm, Christ, and the Power of Sacred Anointing

From Biblical Times to Modern Healing: The Miraculous Power of Kaneh Bosm

Welcome back to the Roots to Riches podcast! I'm your host, Justin Benton, and today we're diving into one of my absolute favorite topics: the ancient and miraculous healing power of Kaneh Bosm, which translates to cannabis. This episode is packed with mind-blowing revelations and historical insights that could transform your understanding of natural healing and spirituality.

Introduction

We kick off the episode by discussing the potential role of anointing oil in the miraculous healings performed by Jesus and his disciples. While the Gospels emphasize Jesus' healing through touch and command, it's likely that anointing oil, deeply rooted in Jewish traditions, played a significant role behind the scenes.

Kaneh Bosm: The Lost Sacrament

The main focus of this episode is on Kaneh Bosm, a term that means cannabis. This sacred ingredient was part of the holy anointing oil described in Exodus 30:22-25. God instructed Moses to create this oil using specific ingredients, including 250 shekels of cannabis, myrrh, cinnamon, and olive oil. This oil was used to consecrate priests, prophets, and kings, setting them apart for divine purposes.

Historical and Biblical Context

We delve into the historical and biblical context of Kaneh Bosm, highlighting its use in ancient Hebrew traditions and its potential role in Jesus' healing missions. The theory that Kaneh Bosm was mistranslated as calamus in ancient texts is supported by archaeological findings and the research of scholars like Chris Bennett and Polish anthropologist Sula Benet.

Modern Implications and Personal Stories

I share my personal journey of discovering the healing power of raw cannabis, particularly in helping my son overcome severe autism. This leads to a broader discussion on the benefits of plant-based medicine and the shortcomings of the pharmaceutical industry. We touch on the recent appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, signaling a potential shift towards more natural and holistic health practices.

Biblical References and Healing Practices

We explore various biblical references that support the use of anointing oil in healing practices. Passages from Mark 6:13 and James 5:14-15, among others, suggest that anointing with oil was a common practice in early Christianity, likely originating from Jesus' teachings.

Call to Action

I encourage listeners to do their own research on Kaneh Bosm and its historical significance. I express my desire to have this conversation with influential figures like the Pope and Joe Rogan to further spread awareness about the healing power of cannabis.
