In the beginning, there was a different beginning. . .
A lost one, yet still in time and place, but not fully realized, for it was not understood.
In simple terms our history itself needs to be reappraised, in an effort to understand our past, so that we can understand our present and in turn our future.
The human condition has a number of layered aspects; one can conceive of it to be a number of layered perspectives (parallel perspectives); a result of different lenses being employed, to give it a new breadth, a new depth.
In this work we will uncover the layered multi-dimensional aspects of history as a means of understanding the life of Che, Jesus of Nazareth, & any other prophet or political figure in history that has some sort of documented presence. We do this through the use of deductive reasoning (weighted for what is the most misunderstood) and situating in the sociological context.
Through this process, we expect to identify patterned chaos of sorts, considering two things; one, given the tendency for things that are ordered to breakdown towards chaos and in turn become misunderstood throughout time itself.
Second, the misalignment between power systems that exist in our social locations
Jesus of Nazareth - The Rabbi and the Zealot
In this interoperation of the Gospel, understood as the story of Christ and his message, are two iterations of Christ himself, the Rabbi and the Zealot. In order to understand the value of the message of Christ we must understand the context of both his environment and the illustration of Christ's message (the teachings of the Rabbi and the actions of the Zealot) in the text we understand to be the Holy Bible.
First the context of the scripture (Bible) can be seen as a cipher-text (codified text) to protect for false integrations and misunderstanding; this is far from the way we understand it typically considering most religious and medieval scholarship is Aristotelian or analytic.
Rather it’s more about the sentiment of the scriptures that make up the Gospel than the laws given the way it was writing and expected to be read. Proof for this can be found in the fact that the red texts are mostly parables which depicts a consistent message of love, acceptance and forgiveness (the Rabbi’s teachings).
Second, the social, political and economic
conditions understood to be the environment that the Gospel illustrated.
Palestine (and the Roman empire more generally) had a prevalence of political activism & resistance facilitated by Zealots.
“A zealot is a person who is uncompromising and fanatical in pursuit of their ideals, particularly regarding religion, politics, or a specific cause. Derived from Greek for "emulation" or "follower, . . . "
In this context we can capitulate The Gospel was the teachings of a gifted Rabbi whose work taught through parables embodied by a radicalized Zealot facilities the down of Rome.
The Rabbi’s actions, message and overall sentiment of uplifting the poor, the sick and the down triton and his sacrifice (his death on cross) orchestrated by the elite in his community inspired not just the gospel but the downfall of Rome itself, considering Rome falls with an iteration of the Gospel as its faith. The most successful revolution from the lowest and most destabilized colony to the head of state.
From this interpretation we can understand the Gospel pivoting between two key players. The Rabbi who teaches the sentiment of what can be understood a new Judaism given the corruption of the Pharisees, Sadducees and the teachers of the law in the Temple; which was employed by a radicalized Zealot one of his students who facilitated a coup d'état on Passover resulting in him getting absorbed by the Rome empire through Pontius Pilate.
