On the separationist meaning of "Iscarioth"

Post by Giuseppe »

The epithet Iscariot could mean in Hebrew "he who is satisfied of anoints".


Iscah: he that anoints,

Ruth: satisfied


Matthew, chapter 3:
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?”
15 Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all
righteousness.” Then he allowed him.

Is there some irony behind a connection between Judas Iscariot and the mere man Jesus baptized by John?

Judas is who would like to have Christ under the power of sinedrites.

The mere man Jesus is who would like to be a mere servant of John the Baptist.

The sinedrites and John are archontic figures (see here about John as archontic figure).

Hence there is at least a sense by which Judas Iscarioth may be really the mere man Jesus.
