The Ebionite book of Matthew is written in
Aramaic and Hebrew. Their Sermon on the Mount is in Hebrew and the first of the
"Beatitudes" is where their name comes from. Ashrei evyonei ha Ruach,
ki l'hem Malkut ha Shamayim. Happy/wealthy are the Poor of the Spirit, for
theirs is the Kingdom of the Heavens. Evyonim = Ebionites = the Poor. They say that Jesus predicted that the Time of
the End would begin when the Temple was destroyed and would continue for an
unknown length of time and that would be begun while his generation was still
alive. Since the Temple was destroyed in August of 70 AD, that's where they
take their dates from. Early 2007 would be the year 1936 of the Time of the
End. According to Revelation a time of Famine, Plague, War and Death. |
