Melchizedek

The Persians were Zoroastrians,the religion of the prophet Zoroaster,and their scriptures were the same as those doctrines which later came to be known as the Kabbalah,the mystical teaching within Judaism,it is zoroastrianism which influenced the early Jews,and prior to this,it was the the Egyptian "Book of the Dead," which later influenced early persians,zoroastrians . Hermes Trismegistus the Egyptian god Thoth is said to be the the original author of works on alchemy,astrology, and magic,the sciences that make up what we now call "kabbalah"

And christians who are quick to assume that astrology is some kind of wicked "soothsaying" should remember that the three magi,the wise men who found the new born infant Jesus,were in fact astrologers,this is how they found the child,by using astrology,there are numerous mentions of astrology,dream interpretation,palmistry,being used in the bible,the prophet Daniel for example was saved from the lions den by interpreting the kings dreams,but these things later became known as sins,all thanks to the misunderstandings of the early christian church,and some of the writers included in the new testament who may have had the best intentions,but who never realized the actual teachings of the christ

It is clear from the prophet Isaiah in the old testament that Jesus had a particular task to perform,nonetheless,he was young once,and learned from his Rabbi,who taught him the sciences passed down from Hermes to the zoroastrians to the early Jews.So there is a clear link down through the centuries from the very beginning of a science which has remained the same up to this present day

Jesus was familiar with what we now know as the Kabbalah ; this Science was an integral part of the Judaic tradition in which he was brought up and it was he who revealed it to St John. This is why we find so many Kabbalistic elements in St John's Apocalypse.

In all spiritual traditions there is an exoteric teaching which is given to all the faithful, and an esoteric teaching which is revealed to a small minority of initiates. The exoteric aspect of Christianity is represented by St Peter and the esoteric aspect by St John.

In the Gospels, St John is called 'the disciple whom Jesus loved', and his closeness to Jesus sometimes aroused some jealousy on the part of the other disciples, particularly St Peter.

After the Resurrection St Peter questioned Jesus about St John and Jesus replied, 'if I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?' And the Gospels adds, 'Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die "

This is the source of that long-lived tradition according to which St John is still alive and he dwells with other Inititates in Agartha, waiting until that the old legends about the mysterious kingdom of Prester John originated in these words of Jesus and the fact that the early Christians took them to mean that St John would not die.

Jesus, therefore, prepared St John and St Peter for two different missions. Those who are familiar with the history of Initiations in the past know that all great Masters did the same thing.

Moses, himself, gave one body of teaching and rules for the masses , but to the seventy elders chosen from amongst the wisest and most faithful of his followers, he entrusted the keys of his five books, the Pentateuch, and it was thanks to these keys that they were able to decipher the hidden meaning of those books.

Certain truths were kept secret either because they were beyond the comprehension of the weak or because they would have put power into the hands of the wicked. This is why Jesus said, 'Do not cast your pearls before swine.'
And, when his disciples asked him why he spoke to the multitude in parables , he replied, ' Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given '. All the established churches, whether Orthodox , Catholic or Protestant, are exoteric churches ; they teach certain truths but their primary concern is with rules and regulations for the masses.


I believe They are unable to reveal the deepest and most mysterious truths, for only those whose minds have been tempered and made ready can accept and digest the secret aspect of reality.

Jesus gave his exoteric teaching to St Peter, therefore, and his esoteric, Initiatic teaching to St John . This is how St John received the keys to the Old Testament and, in particular, to the deeply mysterious Book of Genesis.


I know that many christians will have difficulty in accepting the idea that Jesus was familiar with the Kabbalah, but we find at least one proof that this was so in the Gospels.

Some Scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery before Jesus. The Law of the Jews decreed that such a woman should be stoned to death and they wanted to get Jesus to tell them what they should do about it, in the hope of getting him to lay himself open to charges of breaking the Law.

The Gospels says, 'But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger, as though he did not hear. So when they continued asking him, he raised himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 'Nobody has ever explained what it was that Jesus wrote on the ground.

Was he making idle marks in the dust like someone who doodles on a scrap of paper when he is bored? Was he pretending to be thinking of something else so as to avoid their questions? Neither of these

Jesus was tracing certain Kabbalistic signs and symbols with which the Scribes and Pharisees were as familiar with as he was, having been schooled in the same tradition.

Jesus took this way of telling them, 'If you are pure and blameless, you are free to apply the Law and punish this woman. but if you, yourselves, are guilty of the same sin, be careful what you do for, by virtue of these Kabbalistic signs you will be condemned and struck down'.

Seing these – and because they understood perfectly well what they meant – they withdrew and left him alone with the woman. How can you explain that the Scribes and Pharisees, who had every justification in law for putting this adulterous woman to death, gave up their intention so readily if not because Jesus threatened them in some way?

I believe Jesus was familiar with the science of what we call Kabbalah, and St John's Revelation cannot be interpreted without some of that same knowledge.

The passage about the scarlet Beast with seven heads and ten horns on which sat the Harlot, holding the golden cup full of abdominations and filth: this is obviously a reference to the evil, adverse Sephiroth known in the Kabbalah as the Kliphot.

Christianity is the outcome of several different traditions, the most important of which is the Judaic tradition contained in the Kabbalah.

This is why I believe its so important to have some knowledge of the Kabbalah in order to understand the Bible. Christianity possesses a vast philosophy, a science of tremendous richness but, unfortunetly, for several centuries the Church has been content to transmit only scraps of incomplete, superficial information to the faithful.This must change for christianity to survive
