More > When they are isolated from the second-century Gnostic framework, they reveal many of Yeshua's inner-circle kabbalistic teachings. Scholars can restore much of the pre-kabbalistic tradition of Yeshua's era through sources like the Sepher Yetzirah, Sepher Ha-Razim, and the haggadah preserved in the Mishna, Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds, Philo of Alexandria, and the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament. These were the Holy Scriptures of Essenes, Zadokites, and other messianic Jews of the period, including Yeshua and his disciples. The Psalms they chanted in worship and Shabbat Seder were not just those of our Old Testament, but the messianic Odes of Solomon and others preserved in Enochian and apocalyptic scripture. A study of this forgotten sacred literature allows modern scholars to understand and reconstruct the oral Kabbalah of Yeshua embedded in the Gospel of Thomas. < Less

The goal of Yeshua’s halakah was the spiritual rebirth of a new archetypal humanity—a second or new Adam. In Aramaic this was the Bar-Enash or Son-of-Mankind Messiah prophesied by Daniel and revealed by Enoch. The Greek translation of Messiah is Christos, "Christ." In prophetic vision, the Ancient of Days shared his eternal Sovereignty (Malkuth) with the Bar-Enash or Son-of-Mankind Messiah prophesied by Daniel and Enoch. The Son of Mankind was a spiritual evolution of humanity—a second Adam or archetypal New Humanity destined to liberate the first Adam or Old Humanity and his world from self-created spiritual bondage to the forces of evil.
