Messianic Expectations: The Emissary From Account One. (Part 1 of 4)
Yeshua (Jesus), The Two Creation-World Systems Framework, And The Question No One Was Asking.
Written By Rohan Palmer
“And if they were able to lay hands on the man who was trying to release them and lead them up, they would kill him.” Plato — The Allegory of the Cave (Republic, Book VII).
Commentary: Prisoners chained in a cave since birth, seeing only shadows on a wall, mistake the shadows for reality — because the shadows are the only reality the system has ever given them access to. When someone who has seen the light returns to tell them, they cannot receive it. The cave is Account Two’s world. The shadows are the blood economy’s theology. The man who returns and is killed is — within the allegory’s own terms — precisely Yeshua (Jesus), and before him every prophet, and after him Stephanos (Stephen). Plato wrote it as an epistemological parable. The author has demonstrated it as a theological history. The line above — “they would kill him” — is the one that earns its place as a theme quotation, because it names not just the captivity but the violence the captivity produces when the light arrives inside it. The cave does not reform when the light enters. It kills the one who brought it.
