Is Jesus of Nazareth found in the Talmud?

 

This horrible image is from an article from Israeli Eitan Bar, fanning the flames of the Middle Ages, when Jews were forced into debates over the Talmud, 

a narrative that shows nothing has changed and promoted by One for Israel with their preeminent ethnic and land beholden narrative and certainly usesful for the antisemitic waves of opposition.

Jesus of Nazareth is NOT among the infamous Yeshus in the Babylonian Talmud. The one closest appears in the Teliya, which tells the story of the wayward son born to Mary Magdalene and Jose Padera. The Teliya Ye.Sh.U.is the origin of rationalizing the compilation of the texts of the Evangelion from the Judaic perspective. It is the inspiration behind apocryphal books, such as the Acts of Peter and the many distorted versions of the story, known as the Toledot Yeshu, a title misappropriated from Hebrew Matityahu (Gospel of Matthew). 

These corrupted versions of the Teliya and its Talmudic references emerged and merged with all kinds of evil from Jews converted to Christianity, often for the wrong reasons in the Middle Ages, various Orientalists and Christian Hebraists. Now, such a fact does not deny that most of Rabinical Judaism would not defend this. 

Still “Those who speak don’t know. Those who know don’t speak”  Nevertheless, the modern Higher Critical and Historical Jesus pursuit in the academy cannot deny such a narrative, and indirectly confirms these distortions through their ‘objective’ pursuit. Fantasy novels like Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code tap into misinformation based on such facts and perpetuate the confusion. 

The most telling element of the Toledot Yeshu and the character born to Mary Magdala is his anti-christ status. As a wayward magician like Simon Magus, his very name, Yeshu Notzri, adds to the infamous numerical value of the Beast in the Apocalypse. Today, Christians are known as Notzrim in modern Hebrew. Its conflation with Nazarene demands a deeper dive. Perhaps what is found implies antinomianism fueled by hyper-grace and cults of personalities found throughout Evangelicalism. Why would the names Belial or Balaam provide warnings, and for whom? (2 Peter 2:15; Jude 1:11, Rev. 2:14); obviously from someone within the NT writer’s midst.

An added challenge to discern is the Netzar root of the scions of the house of David and their geographical location in the former Northern Kingdom (where the Notzrim secretly did evil before the Lord II Kings 17:9). Perhaps providing clues as to ‘why no good could come from Nazareth’—no wonder the Gnostic movement provided a target for Rome. To tidy up ‘orthodoxy’ against texts that already had a consensus early on in the Jesus Movement of this much too Jewish narrative that had no utility for Rome. Even Josephus, Epiphanius, the Nag Hammadi Library, plus other Gnostic texts further confirm these false Jesus descriptions as ‘this son of perdition’ from Jesus of Nazareth’s extended family. Whether this latter textual record was intentional or just conflations is the question.

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed historically. Jesus was a Galilean Jew, who went through Tevilah (Jewish ritual Baptism) under the supervision of John the Matbil (Baptizer)  and began his own ministry. His teachings were initially conserved by oral transmission and he himself was often referred to as Rabbi. Jesus debated with fellow Jews on how to best follow God, engaged in healings, taught in parables and gathered followers. He was arrested and tried by the Beit Shammai Sanhedrin, turned over to the Roman government, and crucified on the order of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Jerusalem. After his death, his followers believed he rose from the dead. Out of the community they formed eventually the early Church emerged.

Both Jewish theology (kabbalah) and the New Testament hold that God communicates the sublime interrelationships of his various components to limited human beings in terms they can understand from their own experience

The over-arching narrative in Jewish theology is that the infinite, radically transcendent Ein Sof ("Endless" One) is revealed through the Sefirot. Sefirot are vessels or spheres related to the Creator as reflections of the light emanating from the source, and are the ten most common names for the varying aspects of Divinity. Though they are one with the Creator, they are also the Creator's garments and the "beams of light which it sends out". The singular, Sefirah, shares a root with the word sippur; "communication" or "telling". The Sefirot are thus seen as the aspects or attributes of the Creator by means of which Deity communicates with creation.

Nachmanides (1194-1270) holds that the Shekhinah can mitgashem (incarnate) in an anthropomorphic shape. As an Ashkenazic tradition has it, “Know that... 'An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire out of a bush' (Exod. 3:2)... refers to God Himself .” Sometimes, the title malakh ha-kavod (Angel of the Glory) is linked to the Shekhinah in kabbalistic texts as relationship between Shekinah and Kavod is as Bride and Groom.

The term Metatron, described as “the Youth,” “the Angel of the Glory” and “the body of the Shekhinah,” comes from Metator, a Romaniot word for Praecursor, or Forerunner—the same word used of Yeshua in Hebrews 6:20. It means lord, leader, guide, one who shows the way, or goes in advance.

The explanation of “They saw the glory of God” (Exodus 24:10) is evocative of the New Testament passages describing Yeshua as “the radiance of the Kavod” (Hebrews 1:3), and as the “Forerunner” ministering high priest in the heavenly tabernacle upon which Moses modeled the sanctuary (Hebrews 6:20-8:5).
