Note 20
Ebionite Books

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.
