I'm not sure where you are getting your facts from, but, no, Jesus did not speak Coptic, and he was most assuredly not an Essene, who were extremist Jews, which Jesus obviously was not. The Essenes would have strung Jesus up by his thumbs for his attitude toward the Sabbath, for example.

The Crusades and Knights Templar were intended to protect and/or retake Christian holy sites in the Middle East, as well as protecting Christian pilgrims to the Holy Lands.
In alchemy, the combination of the fire and water symbols (up and down triangles) is known as the Seal of Solomon. The symbol is representative of the combination of opposites and transmutation. By combining the alchemical symbols for fire (upwards triangle) and water (downwards triangle), the alchemical symbols for earth and air are also created.
The downwards facing triangle is divided along the center by the base line of the opposite triangle. This is the alchemical symbol for earth. Conversely, the upwards triangle divided by the base line of the downwards triangle is the alchemical symbol for air. The Seal of Solomon is all that is unified in perfect balance; the Spirit Wheel (see Merkabah).
Newton believed that the temple was designed by King Solomon with privileged eyes and divine guidance. To Newton, the geometry of the temple represented more than a mathematical blueprint, it also provided a time-frame chronology of Hebrew history. It was for this reason that he included a chapter devoted to the temple within The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, a section which initially may seem unrelated to the historical nature of the book as a whole.
Newton felt that just as the writings of ancient philosophers, scholars, and Biblical figures contained within them unknown sacred wisdom, the same was true of their architecture. He believed that these men had hidden their knowledge in a complex code of symbolic and mathematical language that, when deciphered, would reveal an unknown knowledge of how nature works.
In 1675 Newton annotated a copy of Manna - a disquisition of the nature of alchemy, an anonymous treatise which had been given to him by his fellow scholar Ezekiel Foxcroft. In his annotation Newton reflected upon his reasons for examining Solomon's Temple by writing: This philosophy, both speculative and active, is not only to be found in the volume of nature, but also in the sacred scriptures, as in Genesis, Job, Psalms, Isaiah and others. In the knowledge of this philosophy, God made Solomon the greatest philosopher in the world.
The English word Bible is from the Latin biblia, from the same word in Medieval Latin and Late Latin and ultimately from Koine Greek τὰ βιβλία ta biblia "the books" (singular βιβλίον biblion).[5] Medieval Latin biblia is short for biblia sacra "holy book", while biblia in Greek and Late Latin is neuter plural (gen. bibliorum). It gradually came to be regarded as a feminine singular noun (biblia, gen. bibliae) in medieval Latin, and so the word was loaned as a singular into the vernaculars of Western Europe.[6] Latin biblia sacra "holy books" translates Greek τὰ βιβλία τὰ ἅγια ta biblia ta hagia, "the holy books".[7]
The word βιβλίον itself had the literal meaning of "paper" or "scroll" and came to be used as the ordinary word for "book". It is the diminutive of βύβλος bublos, "Egyptian papyrus", possibly so called from the name of the Phoenician sea port Byblos (also known as Gebal) from whence Egyptian papyrus was exported to Greece. The Greek ta biblia (lit. "little papyrus books")[8] was "an expression Hellenistic Jews used to describe their sacred books (the Septuagint).
Christian use of the term can be traced to ca. 223 CE.[5] The biblical scholar F.F. Bruce notes that Chrysostom appears to be the first writer (in his Homilies on Matthew, delivered between 386 and 388) to use the Greek phrase ta biblia ("the books") to describe both the Old and New Testaments together.
How then was it he was sent to Qumran (Essene Stronghold) at the age of 13 until his godfather, Joseph of Aramatheia took him at age 19 to traverse the trade (tin mainly) routes into what you would understand as GrB?

What of words like Messiah? now part of the English language and of Hebrew and Aramaic origin?
adjensen
Jews do not have "godfathers", and there is no indication that Joseph of Arimathea had any connection to Jesus until he began his ministry.
adjensen
Sorry, but all of these errors and odd claims that you keep making indicates either a complete ignorance of history, or that you've picked up scraps of it here and there and mixed them all up in a jumble that bears little resemblance to reality.
why was a MOSQUE BUILT ON TOP OF SOLOMONS TEMPLE MOUNT?

Again, you've made a bunch of outlandish and unsubstantiated claims, and provided no evidence for any of it, so I'll just assume that you're making it all up. Jesus was a Jew, not a Gnostic, which was a Greek religion.

It's called the Dome of the Rock, and if you took ten seconds to look it up, you'd see that the Muslims believe that Mohammed ascended to heaven from that place, and that's why they built it there.
adjensen
Sorry, friend, absolutely none of that makes any sense.
If you want to know more about Islam, I would suggest an introductory text like Islam, the Straight Path by John Esposito or Islam, by Isma'il Al-Faruqi. You can probably find both in your local library.

The Dome of the rock (Al-Sakhrah) was the most recent of the mosques. The Mosque that you seek is called the Al-Aqsa mosque. Don't get the two confused.

Just per your information for future reference, Freemasonry is not about a single religion, it invites every religion. But many fundamental Muslims denounce Freemasonry because it includes other religions. Kabbahlaism does not teach about levitation or other things, it is strictly metaphysical.
If it were true then Madonna could fly without an airplane, but since we have never seen Madonna do any of that stuff you say Kabbalaism can do, then why isn't it being performed today? Did the power go out after Solomon died?
