db80a: this piece of beautiful religious poetry
forms
an absolutely
pivotal text for
illuminating the Christology of the Gospels ~
as well as for demonstrating the essential Jewishness of that phenomenon.
First of all, we fund here the doctrine of the preexistence of the Son of Man.
He was named even before the universe came into being.
Second, the Son of Man will be worshipped on earth:
"ALL WHO DWELL ON THE EARTH WILL FALL DOWN AND WORSHIP BEFORE HIM,
AND THEY WILL GLORIFY AND BLESS AND SING HYMNS TO THE NAME
OF THE LORD OF SPIRITS!"
Third,
and perhaps most important of all, he is named as the Anointed One,
which is precisely the Messiah (Hebrew MASHIACH) or Christ (Greek CHRISTOS)!
It seems quite clear, therefore, that many of the religious ideas that were held about the Christ
who was (also) identified as Jesus were already present
in the Judaism from which
both The Enoch Circle
and the circles
around Jesus
emerged.
