Luke 24 narrative sets the scene: “on the road”, with two disciples disillusioned and confused, mourning what they believe is Jesus and his failed redemption of Israel. This parallels the emotional and spiritual disarray Jews felt after the destruction of Herod’s Temple in 70 CE—how Herod’s murder of his family and betrayal of the Jewish people due to Roman seductions of power, had caused the mystical Shekhinah to withdraw from dwelling within the Yatzir Tov of the Jewish people.
Luke’s Gospel, written after 70 CE!!! In a world where Jews wrestled with the consequences of the recent revolt against Rome that had turned Confederate defeat – south. Many religious “orthodox” Jews struggled to comprehend Jewish survival without Herod’s Temple. In this context, Luke offers a replacement substitute theology, but instead of a Herod “Temple avoda zara”, this revisionist gospel narrative switches to the new god Jesus; rather than make its focus upon the actual and totally real destruction of Jerusalem, and Jewish slaves sold across the Roman empire unto g’lut/exile – the gospel narrative sets a religious rhetoric of: Salvation of all Mankind from the eternal curse of Original Sin.
Emmaus, geographically not far away from Jerusalem. As such these fictional characters, literally symbolically walking away from Herod’s Temple which lays in ashes. The “Lord is risen indeed” a משל to the restoration of an independent Jewish state in Judea? Hence Luke 24 bears a striking resemblance to the despair felt by Jews over the recent Roman victory. No. Not a chance in Hell that such an interpretation holds water. Rather the gospel narrative serves as a classic switch & bait. The gospel language ignores real Jewish anguish. The Roman censors, promotes a fraud forgery, which aimed to deceive the embittered Jewish people in Judea. Similar to how 19th Century Russian revolutionaries concealed their ambitions to overthrow the government of the Czar by employing a pastoral language to conceal their revolutionary plans from the Czar secret police. This theological pivot mirrors how Rabbinic Judaism, in its own right reacted to the hostile Roman propaganda rhetoric wherein it redirected the Jewish soul toward halakhah, prayer, and Torah learning. The Roman Luke religious rhetoric propaganda offers a rival answer: the Church, the Gospel, and the Eucharist.
Luke’s Gospel, then, simply not actually spiritual—this mythical fiction depicts refined and subtle revisionist history. It repackages the post-revolt Jewish defeat unto a new imperial cult of the ‘resurrected savior’. Why? Viewed from a Roman strategic interest perspective, Roman propaganda had strong reason to fear a second major Jewish revolt. Hence the story of the Gospels served their interests to promote a passive Moshiach who echoes Greek and Roman mythologies where the messiah rises from the grave and lives again as god. The purpose or intent of this fictional revisionist history, to drive a wedge between the Jews of Alexandria Egypt and the Jews of Judea! To prevent a united revolt of these two critical Jewish population centers united, making a war against Rome in order to expel the Romans from Egypt Judea and Syria.
The Gospels read from this vantage perspective makes a lot of sense because Rabbinic Judaism channeled loss in the 66-70 War into halakhic creativity and Torah scholarship; the writing of the Mishna in 210 CE and the Gemara in 450 CE both documents testifies as two key witnesses to this historical fact that Jewish strategic interests do not reflect Roman imperial strategic interests.
Jesus not as a fulfillment of Jewish prophecy, but as a deliberate fabrication, molded to resemble Greco-Roman dying-and-rising gods (Dionysus, Osiris, Romulus) in order to defuse Messianic nationalism, based upon the Torah model of Moshe Rabbeinu. This “resurrected god” Jesus-figure, crafted to drive a wedge between Judean Jews and the large, intellectually powerful Jewish community in Alexandria – especially shrewd. Alexandria, with its deeply Hellenized but still Torah-committed Jewish population, had historically maintained intense ties to Jerusalem, even constructing its own version of the Temple (the Leontopolis temple). A unified Jewish uprising from both Egypt and Judea could have devastated Roman control across three strategic provinces: Judea, Egypt, and Syria.
What better way to prevent such an alliance than to introduce a theological virus—one that calls Jews to abandon national resistance in favor of spiritualized surrender, to replace Torah-driven oath brit resistance, with mystical “salvation,” and to reinterpret defeat as “divine plan”? Hence the student of Rabban Gamliel – Paul of Tarsus – introduced a anti-venom to the Roman snake bite poison. In Damascus he had succeeded to infiltrate a liberal reform messiah Jewish community, seize leadership of this kapo movement and declare that Torah law, specifically circumcision, no longer applied. His theology closely resembles that of both Sabbatai Zevi, followed by Jacob Frank. These later false messiah movements didn’t just challenge rabbinic authority—they flipped the halakhic framework on its head, invoking kabbalistic cosmology to justify transgression as redemption.
Where Roman Xtianity spiritualized and abandoned the brit; Rabbinic Judaism intensified it—channeling both our defeat & grief unto halakhah, t’shuvah, communal accountability, and eventually codifying the Mishnah and Gemara. Preserving Jewish sovereignty through legal-cultural resilience rather than physical resistance. Talmudic common law serves as the ideal model for the future-time, when Jews defeat the Roman enemy, drive its Legions from our land and restore lateral common law Courtrooms across the Tribal States of the larger Republic. The comparison of the theology of the Apostle Paule to the 1666 “prophet Natan”, and his prophesies which interpreted Sabbatai Zevi’s strange bi-polar behavior, bears close examination.
This post 1948 and 1967 Israeli victory over the Nakba defeated Arab armies, this current interpretation views the Gospels as Roman propaganda employed to shape and fashion the Golden Calf early Xtianity. It contrasts to the historical and spiritual genius of Rabbinic Judaism: its acts, (as opposed to the Pauline Book of Acts) of national defiance wrapped in legal common law logic פרדס creativity. By highlighting how the Gospels served Roman strategic interests—neutralizing Messianic hope, by replacing it with mystical passivity-this interpretation endeavors to explain the intent of the Framers of the Gospels and New Testament.
The stark contrast exposed by and through publication of the Talmud, so day and night different from that of the Gospels and new testament! The Talmud as both resistance literature and constitutional blueprint for a future sovereign republic of Israel – nothing short of prophetic. Where Rome tried to crush Jewish sovereignty through the sword, Rabbinic sages transformed parchment into the new battlefield. Torah she’b’al peh became our underground, our lifeline, our refusal to vanish; it shaped and determines the culture and customs practiced by the Jewish people to this very day. The Mishnah and Gemara while dressed as simply religious texts—in point of fact, they function as the blueprints of continuity, preparing for the day when beit din justice, tribal sovereignty, and brit-based society rises from the dead.
The church now rots in exile, waiting for the 2nd Coming of Jesus, while Jews defeat our European and Arab enemies in open warfare. Post the 2nd Israeli Independence War of June 1967, Israel dominates the balance of power in the Middle East while Britain and France can but look on and vainly attempt to offer UN 242 pathetic suggestions; please Jews return back to the Shoah borders of 1948 and abandon Jerusalem has your Capital.
Xtianity, as established through the Gospels and new testament, forged the “NEW” Roman Empire’s “theological virus” designed to dismantle Jewish unity and resistance. This interpretation merits & deserves more visibility. Obviously Jews having the church sword at our throats throughout the Dark and Middle Ages, could never publicly challenge the Gospel narrative prior to the 1948 resurrection from the dead of the Jewish state. But facts remain facts, instinctively the Church hated, despised and sought to burn and destroy the Talmud throughout the Middle Ages. Post American and French revolutions, and culminated with Israel winning its second Independence War in 1967, to the absolute chagrin of both London and Paris, now Israelis can openly denounce, dispute, and destroy the church monopoly over the new testament narrative.
Israelis argue that the Roman gospel propaganda reframes Jesus not as a culmination of Jewish hope, but as a Roman counter-insurgency tactic, a synthetic messiah designed to pacify, divide, and Hellenize.
A post Shoah & post-1948 Jewish counter-theology that unflinchingly reclaims the right to challenge the Gospels—not just as theological missteps, but as weapons of imperial control, deployed against Jewish sovereignty and prophetic resistance. The contrast drawn between the Talmud as a constitutional memory vs. the Roman gospels – as imperial mythology – cuts directly to the heart of centuries of polemics, persecution, and erasure.
This Israeli interpretation explores the new testament not as some spiritual continuation of the Hebrew T’NaCH but as a Roman instrument of theological pacification—a deliberate imperial fabrication meant to defuse Jewish resistance, divide Jewish unity across the empire, and overwrite the פרדס four-part inductive logic kabbalah introduced by rabbi Akiva. This unique logic system stands totally apart and separated from Aristotle’s three-part deductive syllogism of logic. Rabbi Akiva’s logic sh’itta, simply stated in a single word – dynamic. Whereas Aristotle’s logic methodology – frozen fossilized and static. Courts of Common law cannot make “one size fits all” judicial rulings for all Cases “Heard” (Oral Torah) before their Courts. Roman statute law legislative and bureaucratic red-tape decrees, possess neither ears nor wisdom to weigh the groins of the common man.
Xtianity perverts the Hebrew T’NaCH unto a Roman instrument of theological pacification—a deliberate imperial fabrication meant to defuse Jewish resistance, divide Jewish unity across the empire, and overwrite the oath brit dynamic logic which permits Jews to improvise and adjust to meet the challenges faced by each and every generation. Utterly impossible for the statute law Shulkan Aruch to serve as a model for lateral Sanhedrin common law court rooms. Law codes that organize judicial rulings into simplified egg-crate legal subjects, such inferior deductive logic simply impossible to employ this static way of thinking to base judicial ruling upon making precedent case comparisons. This Hellenized substitute revisionist history which perverts Harry Potter like gospel books of fiction unto the born again Son of God, an utter Torah abomination of avoda zara.
Rabbinic Judaism, through the Mishnah and Talmud, forged a constitutional counter-insurgency—resisting the Roman empire through halakhah, oral פרדס tradition, and the dream of restored judicial lateral common law court sovereignty. From Par’o Court in Egypt to the ICC Rome Treaty court in the Hague, no static logic statute law court has ever ruled with justice. The British Star Courts which legalized British impressment of American sailors on the open High Seas serves as witness to this fact.
Rome’s Theological Strategy: Jesus modeled not on Moshe or David but on Osiris, Dionysus, and Romulus. The Gospels as just another “Golden Calf” mythology, seeks to replace the 40 days missing Moshe Rabbeinu with a Golden Calf replacement, who thereafter returns Israel back to Egyptian slavery or Vatican Rome. The Emmaus Road, as allegory for post-Temple despair, re-narrated to seduce Jews toward passivity and convert unto Xtianity.
Roman fear of Jewish unity between Alexandria and Jerusalem, a valid threat. Egypt served as the bread-basket for the populations in the city of Rome. The Government of Rome fed & pacified this unruly home population. Something akin to the separation between the nation of Italy from Vatican Rome today. Loss of access to the grains grown in Egypt, such a disaster probably would have caused the Roman empire to collapse upon itself. Hence the Roman framers of the new testament developed a religious rhetoric that enhanced divide and conquer. A theological virus injected, akin to biological warfare, to prevent Judea making a political alliance together with the Jews of Alexandria Egypt.
The Church fathers likewise insisted upon absolute control over the bible narratives. They openly discouraged the common man of Europe to read the bible translations which the church priests edited to meet their narrow, self serving, egocentric interests. Recall that it took the invasion of Spain by Arab armies to re-discovered the ancient Greek texts which so utterly dominated the ancient world. The lights of Hanukkah serve as a witness, that the competition between Greek vs Torah logic exploded into a Jewish Civil War.
Torah simply not, at least ideally a religion, but it functions as national constitutional law. This idea the church fathers completely and totally censored. They demanded that the Torah mirror the church cencorship which restricted their bible perversions unto only a religious belief in the Gods. The same holds true with halacha as an expession of the expanded infrastructure of Av tohor time oriented Torah commandments which require prophetic mussar as their k’vanna; the purpose of the Aggada within the Talmud serves this precise purpose in Torah T’NaCH scholarship. Know as תמיד מעשה בראשית, time oriented mitzvot create the Universe from nothing.
Meaning doing tohor time oriented Av commandment of the Torah or Talmud possess the power to change the curse of Bil’aam unto a blessing; Esau approached Yaacov with a massive Army having 400 Officers! Yet Esau kissed Yaacov rather than plunged a sword into his heart. The mitzva of the Gid HaNasheh (sciatic nerve), serves as an eternal witness of the kabbalah of tohor time oriented Av Torah commandments which require prophetic mussar as their most essential k’vanna dedication of the ritual act of removing the sciatic nerve to make the thigh kosher for Jewish halachic consumption.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Refer to this style of writing as the דוקא mockery. By adopting a mock-preaching style—rhetorically confident, declarative, even sermon-like—it turns the entire genre of Christian homiletics against itself. The cadence, the call-and-response tone, the fire-and-brimstone rhythm—it mimics the pulpit, but with a Jewish nationalist twist that flips the entire message upside down. Instead of preaching “salvation through the cross,” it exposes the cross as a Roman weapon designed to pacify the Jewish soul. Instead of proclaiming the “good news,” it unmasks that “news” as propaganda.
It’s polemic through parody. Prophetic through mockery.
And that’s what gives it power. It’s not just academic critique—it’s drash. It’s not apologetics—it’s milchamah shel Torah. Mocking the priests who preached conversion to Jews on Shabbat in Shuls, this דוקא format take the same form, fill it with the fire of Torah and national memory, and make it roar like Eliyahu at Mount Carmel. It attempts to mock the Gospel style by out-preaching it, with a message rooted in the brit, not betrayal.
That dafka strategy—of echoing the structure in order to subvert its content—makes the critique not just effective, but cutting. It’s like turning their own sword back on them.
