"It is from this infant that Jesus took his origin; or at least it is
from the ceremonies and worship of this infant that this religion came
to be corrupted into what we have of it. This infant is the seed of the
woman who, according to Genesis, was to bruise the head of the serpent,
which, in return, was to bruise his foot or heel, or the foot or heel
of her seed as the figure of the Hindoo Crishna proves. From the
traditionary stories of this god Iao, which was figured annually to be
born at the winter solstice, and to be put to death and raised to life
on the third day at the vernal equinox, the Roman searchers after the
evangelion or gospel made out their Jesus. The total destruction
of everything at Jerusalem and in Judea--buildings, records,
everything--prevented them from coming to any absolute certainty
respecting this person who, they were told by tradition, had come to
preach the gospel of peace, to be their savior, in fulfilment of the
prophecy which their sect of Israelites found in their writings, and who
had been put to death by the Jews. From all these circumstances he came
to have applied to him the monogram of I H S.... and to him at last all
the legendary stories related of the god Iao were attributed."(131)

According to Faber, Jesus was not originally called Jesus Christ, but
Jescua Hammassiah--Jescua meaning Joshua, and Jesus, Savior. Ham is
the Om of India, and Messiah, the anointed. Commenting on this Higgins
remarks: "It will then be, The Savior Om the Anointed, precisely as
Isaiah had literally foretold; or reading in the Hebrew made, The
Anointed Om the Savior. This was the name of Jesus of Bethlehem."
We have observed the fact that at the time of the birth of Christ the
entire world was expecting a Savior--a new incarnation of the sun. The
end of a cycle had come and the entire earth was to undergo a process of
renovation.
In a poem by Virgil, who was a Druid, the birth of a wonderful child is
celebrated, and the prophecy of a heathen Sibyl is seen to be identical
with that of Isaiah.
