On a different identity for Elijah...

Post by Giuseppe »

Mark 9:11-13:
And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”
Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”

John 3:13:
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.


Celui qui était venu était le Maître de Justice, méconnu, qui avait passé avant Jean pour une réincarnation d'Elie. Celui qui allait venir, et descendre du ciel pour rétablir l'ancienne Foi, était non pas le Baptiste, mais encore le même Messie, le Maître de Justice attendu, — le Christ fantomatique, sur lequel on allait bâtir une si belle légende.
