The Tripartite Agency Of The Cosmic Atonement Sacrifice

By virtue of the Cryptogram, the model of Mount Zion, the Cosmic Atonement Sacrifice has, now, been shown to be a Tripartite Agency—the Sin-offering Bullock, the Sin-offering Goat, and the Scapegoat—reminiscent of the Judaic Day of atonement (cf., Lev. 16). As Cosmic Sin-offering Goat “for the Lord”, Jesus ascended Mount Zion, and then entered into the Holy of Holies, through the loss of His body (that is, with His blood). Whereas, Muhammad, as Cosmic Scapegoat, ascended Mount Zion, alive, and with an escort, then rose to the Gate of the Heavenly Sanctuary, before being banished into the wilderness-valley “for Azazel”. Having descended from Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad, each, identified with Abraham’s lineage: Jesus through Isaac (the prototypical human sin-offering goat) and Muhammad through Ishmael (the archetypal human scapegoat). As for the Cosmic Sin-offering Bullock for the Royal, Heavenly, High Priest, He remained, like Melchizedek, a mystery until now.

In the Scriptures, Abraham paid tribute to the prototypical priest-king—Melchizedek—a foreigner to Abraham. This Personage is, often, identified in the Scriptures with the Messiah. Jesus’s Messianism, however, is Abrahamic through Judah. How, then, could He be likened to Melchizedek? Indeed, it is declared in Scriptures that the priesthood of Melchizedek is eternal (Psalms 110:4); distinct from the interim, Aaronic priesthood.

Further Evidence For The Ultimate Messiah

The Third Secret encoded a Spiritual War between two anonymous Combatants with an ominous result. The Qumran texts (11QMelchizedek [11Q13]) also anticipated these Events, which are, even now, unfolding: The Eschatological War between the Kingdom of Light championed by Melchizedek (the Exalted Christ), and the Kingdom of Darkness led by His inverse, Melchiresha (or Lucifer). The Final Victory of the Kingdom of Light over that of Darkness—Mount Zion over Death Valley—is identified, in the Qumran texts, with Ultimate Redemption: The Final Jubilee with its attendant Day of Atonement. Indeed, the Day-of-atonement’s ritual necessitates that distinction be made between the high priest and the sacrificial agents: the sin-offering bullock, the sin-offering goat, and the scapegoat (Lev. 16). And so, Jesus cannot, at once, be both a Cosmic Sin-offering Agent and the High Priest.

Also, Jacob prophesied that the Scepter would devolve upon Shiloh (He to whom it belongs) from Judah. By the same token, Jesus cannot be identified with Shiloh, a non-Jew, since Jesus is a descendant of Judah, through David (cf., Gen. 49:10).

Furthermore, according to a Judaic tradition at Passover (commemorating a saving act): A place is set usually for (the phantom) Elijah on the ceremonial dinner table of a typical Jewish home, with the belief that Elijah would return to the house of Jacob as an unknown guest—a stranger.

Could these Distinguished Ones—Melchizedek, Shiloh and Elijah: all of them strangers to Judah—refer to the same Personage? The implication of the foregoing discussion is the reality of another Messianic Personage (One distinct from Abraham). This issue—the idea of two Messiahs—is raised, independently here, and implied in the Book of Daniel (9:24-27). The Qumran writings also made reference, explicitly, to two Messiahs. Consider the various appellations of these Messianic Personages in the Qumran texts: “Interpreter of the Law”, “[Eschatological] Prophet”, “Prince of the Whole Congregation”, Messiah of Aaron”, “Messiah of Israel”, “Heavenly Messiah”, and “Priestly Messiah. Compare these with the information advanced in this Book.

Evidence is presented in this Book, also, showing the fulfillment of several prophecies in connection with the transfer of Divine Authority from Judah to a non-Jew. Indeed, several prophecies are cited pertaining to the relocation of the Messianic Capital: from the Old Jerusalem to a New City of God.
