8/3/2019 ReturnoftheSadducees

First, let me start in saying that I'm not a scholar. Nor have I been thoroughly

educated in the complex matters of theology or religion. However I have

spent a great deal of time reading the Holy Scriptures known as the Tanakh

along with various other writings. And I can say confidently while not

knowing or having all the answers, I may have a few. Christianity is not, nor 

can it be the true religion relating to the one true GOD of Abraham, Isaac and

Jacob. And Rabbinical Judaism is not the answer either. It is my belief that

the answer to many of these nagging questions lie perhaps somewhere in the

middle. The text of the Tanakh reveals no “Jesus” regardless of how bad

 practicing Christians long for him. The text, when read in proper context, also

makes it abundantly clear that there is only ONE GOD and that the nation of 

Israel is the servant of the almighty. So immediately we can rule out the so

called New Testament as being a simple book of gross contradictions with a

simple and close study of it's contents. The Judaism question is slightly moredifficult to reconcile.

The Israelite people of the scriptures are simply not the same people from a

religious standpoint as those of modern Rabbinical Judaism. And it is my

opinion that the Judaism of the “Bible” vanished shortly after the exile and

destruction of the First Temple in 586 B.C.E. The birth of Rabbinical Judaism

came into being upon the Jewish return to the homeland from exile under 

Cyrus of Persia but delayed into it's full being until around the fall of the

second temple in 70 C.E., with the total demise of the Sadducees. Thoseknown as Sadducess were also referred to as the “descendents of Zadok”, or 

the “son's of Zadok”. These Holy men remained true and faithful to King

David and the region of southern Israel, while the Pharisees or Talmudist

were loyal to King Saul and those of the northern part of Israel when the

nation split. The Sadducees have been ridiculed for ages from both the

Christians as well as the Talmudist. However the scripture remains kind to

them in comparison. The book of Ezekiel specifically states that the

 priesthood during the time of the Messiah and the Third Temple will be that

of the Sadducees. Reference Ezekiel 43:18-27, 44:15-22, 44:23-31. While

 back in chapter 22:26-31 of the same book it appears as if it is speaking

harshly concerning the Talmudist. So, from these scriptures alone is seems as

if not only will there be a return of the Third Temple, A Shepherd(Messiah),

the return of the Jewish people from exile but a RETURN OF THE …....

SADDUCEES to lead the Priesthood as well as the new Israel.
