After nearly finishing this excellent course, it is now clear to me what happened to those promising, but fated, minyans of Kabbalists that were formed as a hub under Rabbi Yeshua’ HaNoztri. The very first thing that Yeshua’ did was form small groups of Kabbalists to act as the hubs for the gentiles (Roman, Hellenic, Gadarene, Syriac, Samaritan, etc.) around them. As we see from the deeply Kabbalistic writings of the New Testament, what scholars call “the Jesus Movement” was certainly the most influential Kabbalistic school ever to appear since the time of Abraham.
However, two counteractive forces – one from the gentiles, the other from the non-Messianic Jews – ultimately ended up wiping out (or submerging) this promising stream of the wisdom of Kabbalah.
On the one hand, the gentile “Christians” ended up overshadowing the authentic wisdom of Kabbalah that Yeshua’s students had been teaching. Since these Romans, Greeks, and other pagans did not fully understand the very subtle and difficult way of Kabbalah, they ended up squeezing out this rarefied wisdom with the crude and idolatrous ideas of the local cults. On the other hand, rather than coming to the aid of these Messianic Kabbalists, the local Jewish communities (which also had a weak grasp on Kabbalah) wound up persecuting the very spearhead of Jewish (and worldwide) hope. This is why HaShem later came and destroyed the Second Temple, exactly for the hatred and disunity in the local Jewish community, which came to head with their persecution of Yeshua’s disciples.
This world cannot see that until both natural forces find equivalence in form. Gentile will become more like the giving Jew instead of the taking for ones own pleasure. Jews at the age of 13 are taught to not live for oneself that only the creator matters, this is why we abstain from monetary gain on Fridays and Saturdays the most lucrative days of the week, and we observe all the festivals regardless of the worlds events, and we even give up palatable delicacies just show we are obedient and heard. It also prepares us mentally for the light in Kabbalah, because we are conditioned at 13 to start to take in order to bestow. We stop just loving ourselves and start trying to love something else other than ourselves which is why we are different than anything else on this planet until the wisdom of Kabbalah can spread, so that we all understand that this is bigger than just the “self” and that all functions are actually after that same goal. Jews become egoist because we are trained to be, but the life of being a Jew when one actually learns from what tradition is showing is a beautiful part of this world, it reminds us we are all one, no one was created bad and even “the evil inclination” was created by God so it is good and has a purpose. Our sages preserved this knowledge its just sad that most Jews dont actually read it to understand it anymore.
