MERKEVAH TEXTS : CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES
Jesus & The Gospels

Jesus and the Gospels

As Jesus claimed to be the "Son of G-D" or "Son of Man", I would have assumed that he would have made more statements concerning the "Merkavah" than he did.

His principal message was to introduce the spiritual "Kingdom of G-D", central to the future "Merkavah" function. His principal action was to replace the personal sacrificial offering, the Herodian sacred/profane hierachy, and to continue "Merkavah centred theology" on its course.

Judaism had created for itself a racially and gender divisive Temple hierarchy, with Levitical Priests as officiants. This is in conflict with the Davidic/Solomon hierachy of Zadokite Priests, Levitical servants and righteous congregation, neither racially nor gender divisive.

Remember that any Temple in Jerusalem is a model of Heaven. As the angels are androgynous, gender is not a compatible criteria for segregation. Neither can the two surviving Jewish tribal identities claim segregation status as Elijah took of 12 stones and said Israel will be your name.

The Zadokite Priesthood had left Jerusalem in 154 BCE, retreating to Qumran, replacing sacrificial practice with the breaking of Bread and Wine, the communal meal. I propose that Jesus had gained Zadokite High Priesthood status, his assault on the Herodian Temple validated by his scriptural stature. His descent to Hades and ascent to Heaven are characterful of a Merkavah viewer.
