I should love to know in what
way the secular Hebrew scholars understand “mishpat”;* but one
can assume that the Greek translators,** if they were not Jews
themselves (which they probably were), at least had access to Jewish
Christians who knew what it meant. I should also like to know how
often the word 'judgement' in our N[ew] T[estament]s translates
“mishpat”/“κρισις”.***
The implications are tremendous.
Christianity as we have received it is, and has been practically
since the beginning, a judgement-based religion. This is one of the
less satisfactory aspects to the mind of modern Man. Could it be
that we have been under a misapprehension – that scholarship might
reveal Christianity to be a religion, not of moral judgement but of
separation, of turning points?
Although
in Circles Analysis A~ is the Archangel of the Separation, I don't
think it is stretching the point to say that the separating process –
the Circle itself – begins and ends with +C†I~;
and in the Circle eschatology, the separating of Self, Soul and
Spirit in various combinations occurs with the Second Death**** at
R~-+C†I~, approaching Crisis. A similar reversal is possible under
different circumstances at #S~-+C†I~, also approaching Crisis.
A~
is the Archangel#* of the Separation because he keeps the furthest
point of the Separation, and thus sets the conditions, static and (I
think) dynamic, in which separating can occur.
