A Gnostic Gospel

What if the Gnostics were right?
What if the Orthodox were wrong?
What if yhwh is an evil being?
Deranged, deluded, depraved, defiled.
An accidental being, born of wisdom unknowing.

What if the waking world is the nightmare
and the nightmare reality?

Yaldabaoth against Sabaoth
Sabaoth, the God of War.
Lord of Death.
Drinker of Blood.
Murderer of beloved Children.
Tormentor of Fathers.
Hater of Women.
Lord of Hate.

Beelzebaal, lord of the Baals
Beelzebub, lord of the flies.
A hebrew pun!

We are not amused.

Wisdom alone has not the powers to defeat him.
Only the highest one has that power,
who has many names.
eldest
elyon
he who sleeps.

Beelzebub
Fear is his sword
his armor
his shield.

What if the christ
was a messenger from Sofia?
Who sought to keep yhwh
confined within the temple
to keep those who knew not the secrets
from getting too close
close enough for yhwh
to touch their minds
to mislead them into error
like he had hezekiah and josiah.

And saul of tarsus.

Deceive the beast and lose him in the desert,
was that moses' hope?
Chain him within the mount
and let him be forgotten,
was that solomons?

What happened in Babylon?
With what did ezra and nehemiah return?
All those years waiting, weeping,
there by the waters of Babylon
amongst the Court of Babylon
speaking with the wise of Babylon
learning from the wizards of Babylon
reading the stories of Babylon.

Who were they exactly, those priests, who returned from Babylon?
Memories of Sumer, Akkad.
What did the Persians, unknowing,
loose upon a weary world?

The thread is broken in many places
the various conflicting stories compiled
interpolated
edited
obscured
obfuscated.

Like tracks in the desert
you follow them until the wind blows,
and they vanish
in the wind.

Who slew Goliath?
David?
Or El-hannan.

How, and when, did Saul meet David?

Who or what did they bring back from Babylon?

Did they bring the evil one to Jerusalem from Babylon?
Or did they merely release an evil
that was already there.
