The Essenes lived out in the wilderness as they were against the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Levites i.e. Sanhedrin. This is where in Zechariah 11, 'the poor of the flock knew it was the word of the Lord', when the Messiah came to destroy the 2nd temple - which had rivers of blood flowing out of it. The Gospel of John was made up by the Sanhedrin to discredit Yeshua; where it contradicts the Synoptic Gospels & the Tanakh on purpose. Christianity was first established in Antioch to Paul/Saul, and Simon petros's ministry according to Acts 11:25-26; this means the early Church were not called Christians, they all gave up wealth, and were called the Poor Ones (Ebionites) because of it. John the Baptist & Yeshua came out of the Essenes (which is why their teachings were similar), and then the Essenes became part of the early Ebionite movement; yet because this became a threat to the Sanhedrin’s agreement with Rome, of paying vast amounts of taxes, they had to stifle this movement by any means possible - So John, Paul, and Simon the stumbling stone (petros) made up Christianity. Yehoshua named Simon as petros (pebble/stumbling stone), as he knew he was Pharisaic in Matthew 16, when he said "you are the Christ the Son of the Living God", which is a Pharisaic ideology. When Simon rebuked Yehoshua like satan, this fulfilled Zechariah 3:1-2, and when he called him a stone (petros) that fulfilled Zechariah 3:9. The specific wording Yeshua used, 'on this stumbling stone (petros), and this rock (petras), I will build my church', is a citation of Isaiah 8:14. James (Jacob) was given the early Church, which is why in the Gospel of Thomas it says, 'you are to go to James (Jacob) the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being", as the naming was specific. The 'Teacher of Righteousness' was a prophesied utterance in their writings, that the Messiah would come to correct the religion from its corruptions since Babylon. Many religions have a disciple/student system, as it is a part of the nature of oral teachings; yet in the Bible it was specific that the Teacher of Righteous/Immanuel would seal up his testimony among his Disciples (Isaiah 8:11-22). The Q source was most likely the Ebionites oral memories/traditions, which then got documented by the authors of some of the Gospels - which is why it looks like plagiarising in some places. It was prophesied in the Bed of Adultery (Isaiah 28:15+18), that Saul/Sheol would create a 'Covenant with Death' about the 'Chief Corner Stone'; this happened because the Pharisees believed that we had to pay God for atonement, whereas Christ came teaching that repentance (turning away) is all that is required for the forgiveness of sin. Christ warned not to go after those like Paul who were appealing to everyone, like the fake prophets did; yet also that they will teach that 'the time is at hand' (ἐγγίζω/eggizō - Luke 21:8). The reason Yeshua warned about 'nursing babies' in his eschatology (Matthew 24:19, Mark 13:17, Luke 21:23) , was it was prophesied in Zechariah 11:9 & Deuteronomy 28:53-55, that they'd eat each others flesh as the Curse of Moses was placed on them at the 2nd temple destruction - which happened within the Siege of Jerusalem. Paul wasn't teaching "if someone comes along teaching another baptism"; it was 'if someone comes teaching a different Gospel, and even if it is an angel sent from Heaven, may they be accursed' (Galatians 1:8). Basically Saul is playing the role of the devil, and setting up the Gentiles, where when he says if God sends an angel with divine authority, Saul/Sheol (Hell) stands against that. Rather than seeing it as "picking & choosing", as I've also often been accused of too, it is to recognize that the Bible is a morality IQ exam; where the Law is a standard, and the New Testament is the test papers. Where the Synoptic Gospels are the Wheat/Sheep, and the Tares/Goats are on the right (John, Acts, Paul, Simon petros) - where then James, Jude, and Revelation are against the prophesied Pharisaic Christian corruptions. Take into account the Sanhedrin's Babylonian diet (alcohol & meat) was condemned by many spiritual movements, whereas 'entheogens' were endorsed as a way 'to find God within' - the Pharisaic corruptions were purposely made up, to indoctrinate people back into their religion. | |

If it gets too easy, we get bored; if it gets harder, we feel we're being hard done to.

On searching in Esword Bible software for the word Rabb (ῥαββ) in Greek (with partial matches on), it came up with some entries I'd not have expected, that the word Barabbas (Βαραββᾶς), and Rabbi (ῥαββί) are spelled partially the same.
This finally made sense to me, of why we had Barabbas as a name Vs Yeshua meaning Salvation in Hebrew. Where we have the person sent from Heaven to be their King (Messiah), and yet their religious leaders rejected him as prophesied (Zechariah 11:8). The people were then given the option of if they wanted their King by Divine Right (Yehoshua) or their Rabbis i.e. Barabbas. The connotations are fascinating, as this is ascribed many times within the Tanakh, that the Jews had stopped listening to those sent by God, and instead were being misled by their religious leaders taking over. On doing a more advanced word search in the Greek across the whole of the Greek Polyglot, to see if there were any more similar references within the Tanakh, this created even more reason to question its deeper prophetic meanings. The word in Greek for a staff/rod is rhabdos (ῥάβδος), and so we get loads of passages that contextually are about the 'rod' being symbolism of what is ruling over the people. Now fair enough before this sounds like some weird mishmash etymology, I'm not saying that the Greek word for 'staff/rod' is how we got the word 'Rabbi' - it is simply by chance; just the same as it is by chance that 'Barabbas', and 'Rabbi' are spelled partially the same. Since we're inside God's reality, nothing happens by chance. When we question the ideas that the Messiah is 'to rule the nations with an iron rod' (Psalm 2:8-9, Revelation 19:15), and that there is the miraculous rod that Moses led the people with (Exodus 4:1-17), we can show that there is an ongoing symbolism, of the 'rod' being about who rules over the people. Where when we observe the course of history, we can see how the religious leaders have slowly overwritten, and overruled what God originally gave the people - Where the returning Messiah restores the Kingdom of God here on earth, by removing these bad shepherds, and re-establishing a true theocracy (Ezekiel 34). Isaiah 10:15 Shall the axe boast itself against him who chops with it? Shall the saw magnify itself against him who moves it? As if the rod could wave those who lift itself up! As if a staff could raise what is not wood! The issue within these religious leaders guidance, is that they don't actually know the correct way themselves, as they are just interpreting what has been said by those who've been sent by God, and so they've often led the people into idolatry. Hosea 4:12 My people seek advice from their wooden idols, and their rod declares to them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to go astray, and they have gone lusting away from under their God. When we take into account that the word 'Rabbi' (ῥαββί), and 'rod' (ῥάβδος) are spelled similarly, if we interchange these words in Hosea 4:12, this sentence then could imply that their Rabbis have declared to them false teachings. In Zechariah 11:15-17 the 'foolish leaders' over the flock during the Exile among the Nations, will cause the people to remain opposed to God. After in Jeremiah 23 & Ezekiel 34 the returning King David/Yeshua/Zion, removes these leaders who've caused the people to go astray. Ezekiel 20:35-38 is the return of the Messiah with a 'rod' of correction against the 'Rabbinic' authorities, before Judgement comes on Israel, and then after we shall come into the Messianic Age. There is a promise in Genesis 49:10, that the Sceptre/Rod shall remain in Judah, until it is restored into the rightful hands of its heir (Ezekiel 21:27) i.e the Messiah; not the rebels who've tried to manipulate what God gave us for their personal gain. During this time of bad leadership God has used the Rod/Rabbis, as a threshing tool/rod (Isaiah 28:27), to see who respects the Laws of God & the Messiah's Testimony - that was sealed up among the Disciples (Isaiah 8:11-22). The Rabbis made up Christianity to cover up that they divorced the Lord, by rejecting the Messiah for 30 pieces of silver (Zechariah 11): where the Gospel of John was most likely created by the Sanhedrin to contradict Jewish Law, whilst fraudulently not sounding like Yeshua in the Synoptic Gospels. We have Midrash stating that Paul/Saul & Simon petros (stumbling stone), then worked with the Sanhedrin to finish the deception. At the closure of the 'Bed' of 'Adultery' (Isaiah 28:9-19+20-21) like a Parable of the 'Fig before Summer' (Isaiah 28:4), where 'Saul/Sheol created a Covenant with Death' about the 'Chief Corner Stone' (Isaiah 28:15-18), it is possible through education to 'Repair' (Isaiah 58:12) the 'Breach' 'ready to Fall' (Isaiah 30:13) on everyone - where the 'foolish leaders' have seriously messed up society globally, by tampering with what God gave us. Placing the Rod of authority back into the hands of the Messiah, means it could be possible to correct the theological errors globally, and avoid the prophesied destruction; if not, then according to prophecy globally God will cleanse reality, and after only those who've listened to the Messiah will be resurrected. | |

Apathy turns into lethargy - which can lead to no energy.
