One of the points of Gnosticism is that things happen in cycles
The second age is just a replay / a reflection of the first age – and so on
Calvin and dispensation – has a time for everything and everything in its time
The world of the ahl ended around 500BC – no more Jewish writings
(Wiki) - In 586 BC, the Kingdom of Judah was annexed into the Neo-Babylonian Empire. The city of Jerusalem fell after a siege which lasted either eighteen or thirty months. By 586 BC, much of Judah was devastated, and the former kingdom suffered a steep decline of both economy and population
(Wiki) - The Neo-Babylonian Empire, also known as the Second Babylonian Empire and historically known as the Chaldean Empire,
There are those Chaldeans again – Persia
Alexander The Great took control of Israel in 332BC
The Seleucid Empire took control from Alexander in 312 BC
During this time – Judaism was not to be practiced
Hebrew was not allowed to be spoken
Pigs were being sacrificed in the Temple to Tammuz
Leading to the Maccabean revolt 167 BC and the rededication of the Temple and the Jewish faith prior to Jesus Christ
Also in 500 BC Socrates drank hemlock and died peacefully in front of his students because there is and after life – and death is not the end – just a transition into hades
500BC is the Birth of Zorasterism
Rob: "Where did this label of Zoroasterism come from? Who wrote this? And how do you know it's true or false?
(Wiki) Zoroastrianism
#1 - Zoroastrianism or Mazdayasna is one of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions. It is a multi-tendency faith centered on a dualistic cosmology of good and evil (The Great Controversy) and an eschatology predicting the ultimate conquest of evil with theological elements of henotheism, monotheism/monism, and polytheism.
#2 - Ascribed to the teachings of the Iranian-speaking spiritual leader Zoroaster (also known as Zarathushtra),
#3 - it exalts an uncreated and benevolent deity of wisdom, Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord), as its supreme being.[6] Historical features of Zoroastrianism, such as messianism, judgment after death, heaven and hell, and free will may have influenced other religious and philosophical systems, including Second Temple Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy,[7] Christianity, Islam,[8] the Bahá'í Faith, and Buddhism.[9]
#4 - With possible roots dating back to the second millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism enters recorded history in the 5th century BCE.[10] It served as the state religion of the ancient Iranian empires for more than a millennium,
#5 - The most important texts of the religion are those of the Avesta, which includes as central the writings of Zoroaster known as the Gathas,
Also inn 500 Bc we have the birth of another religion called Mithraism
(Wiki) - Mithraism, also known as the Mithraic mysteries, was a Roman mystery religion centered on the god Mithras. The religion was inspired by Iranian worship of the Zoroastrian Angelic Divinity (yazata) Mithra, though the Greek Mithras was linked to a new and distinctive imagery, and the level of continuity between Persian and Greco-Roman practice is debated. The mysteries were popular among the Roman military from about the 1st to the 4th century CE.[2]
BTW – Mithras was born of a virgin, preached at age 12, had a ministry at age 30, did upon a tree and was resurrected
Both Zorasterism and Mithraism was alive and well to Rome before Jesus
Jesus was Jews – of the Jews – for the Jews First – and then the gentile
But Roman Christendom looks, smell and, acts 100% pagan and 0% Jewish
Complete with pagan doctrines that attempt to rewrite Judaism and the ahl
The goal of the Roman Catholic Church was population Control - power over the people
Catholics must be - de-Jew-ized - you cannot govern a free people
Jews and Gnostics have no need for the their church - we are the church
Blending Jesus into Zoraterian and Mithraism was easy for Rome
