the rich the poor & the miserable: catch as catch
can can
The first Christians
also adopted this honorific,
casting themselves as the simple to whom G d has revealed the secrets kept hidden from "the wise and the intelligent."
The gospels [Matai 11:25-30, Lucky Luke 10:21-22] preserve a prayer of thanksgiving attributed to Yeshu
which begins: 'I THANK YOU, FATHER, LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE HIDDEN THESE THINGS FROM THE WISE AND THE INTELLIGENT AND HAVE REVEALED THEM TO THE SIMPLE!'
The prayer is similar to the Hodayot not only in its rhytmic structure and the opening "I THANK YOU":
the torah mentioned by Yehoshua is - like the [essene] sect's - an esoteric teaching made known to
only a select few, referred to as the simple, the same title applied to the Qumran community. It is possi-ble that the Qumranites who adopted this epithet did so to highlight their radical rejection of the teachings
of the sages.
For according to the scrolls, the teachings of official circles are not only misguided, they are deleterious: 'THEY ARE MEDIATORS OF FRAUD AND SEERS OF DECEIT, THEY HAVE PLOTTED A DEVELISH THING AGAINST ME ...
TO CHANGE YOUR LAW, WHICH YOU ENGRAVED IN MY HEART, FOR FLATTERING TEACHINGS
FOR YOUR PEOPLE; THEY HAVE DENIED THE DRINK OF KNOWLEDGE TO THE THIRSTY, BUT FOT THEIR THIRST THEY HAVE GIVEN THEM VINEGAR TO DRINK, TO CONSIDER THEIR MISTAKE ...
BUT THEY, HYPOCRITES, PLOT INTRIGUES OF BELIAL, THEY SEARCH YOU WITH A DOUBLE HEART, AND ARE NOT FIRMLY BASED IN YOUR TRUTH ...
THEY SPEAK TO YOUR PEOPLE WITH STAGGERING LIP AND WEIRD TONGUE TO CONVERT TO FOLLY ALL THEIR DEEDS WITH DECEIT ...
FOR THEY SAID OF THE VISION OF KNOWLEDGE: IT IS NOT CERTAIN!
AND OF THE PATH OF YOUR HEART:
IT IS NOT THAT!'
[1QH 12.9-18]
These words
bespeak an opposition
between certain circles in Second Temple Judaism
and the Qumran community, and, indeed, a conflict
between two mutually exclusive worldviews,
each claiming exclusive truth.
Geef
mij maar
de gulden middenweg:
slaap zacht, droom zoet &
tell us all about it
if you really
want to
do so
