Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Angel-Messiah of Buddhists, Essenes, and Christians The conception of an incarnate Angel as Messiah is of Eastern origin, and there is no trace of it in those portions of the Hebrew Scriptures which possibly were written before the Captivity, nor in the first three Gospels. ´The Angel-Messiah´ or Melech-Hamoshiach is a compound title which constantly occurs in the Commentaries or Midrashim, the records of Scribal tradition, also in the Targums. Although this Messianic name is not to be found in the Talmud, the latter designates as the Messiah the Angel of God who followed the Israelites in the wilderness, and who is here called the Angel Metatron, or He who stands by the throne (pp. 91, 92, 101, 303). That Angel Paul calls Christ. It can be shown that this new Messianic conception was introduced into Judaism and into Christianity by the Essenes or Essai, to whom John the Baptist or Ashai, the bather, probably belonged, and who are in the New Testament designated as disciples of John. Jesus opposed the principal doctrines of John, whom he designated as not belonging to his kingdom of heaven, or of the Spirit, which he declared as having already come; whilst the disciples of John had not even heard ´whether there be any Holy Ghost.´ The disciples of John the Baptist or Essene must have expected that the Spirit of God would be brought from heaven to earth by Him who should baptize with the Holy Ghost.
