The Religion of the Elkesaites — Hidden Inside the Church

🔍 What Was the Religion of the Elkesaites?

The Elkesaites were Greek Jews, not Torah-keeping Hebrews.
They spoke Aramaic, but followed Greek ideas, practiced ritual magic, and rejected the prophets.

They claimed to follow Yhwh —
But their religion was full of angelic visions, baptism rituals, and astrological signs.

⏳ Origin: ~100 AD
📍 Region: Transjordan and Syria (Greek-ruled)
📖 Main Text: The Book of Elchasai
⚠️ Status: Rejected by Torah-keepers, absorbed by the Church

🛑 The Core of Their Religion

1. Ritual Baptism — Not Obedience
They taught water could remove sin and heal the body
🧂 Salt, oil, water, and angels were invoked in mystical rites
❌ No covenant. No return to Yhwh. Just ritual.
2. Angelic Revelation — Not Yhwh’s Voice
Their book came from a giant angel — not from Yhwh
They focused on cosmic knowledge, not Torah commands
📜 This matches Colossians 2:18 — “worship of angels”
3. Bread and Salt Communion
A sacred meal using bread and salt for ritual purification
⚠️ This was not Passover — it was paganized imitation
4. Astrology and Secret Days
They followed the stars to pick holy days
⛔ This is forbidden in Torah — Deuteronomy 18:10–12
5. Rejected Sacrifice and the Prophets
They said sacrifices were outdated
They claimed the Torah was incomplete
Just like the book of Hebrews — “no more sacrifice remains”

🕵️ The Book Was Not Destroyed — It Was Used

The Book of Elchasai still existed in 225 AD.
Church leaders had it, read it, and borrowed from it:

Hippolytus: Said it was brought to Rome by Alcibiades of Apamea
Origen and Epiphanius: Quoted from it in debates

It was never burned — it was absorbed into Acts, Hebrews, and John

The Catholic Church didn’t fear the Elkesaites.
They used their mysticism to build a religion that could unite Greeks, pagans, and Jews —
All without obedience to Yhwh.

✅ Were They Hebrews?

No. They were Greek Jews — not covenant-keeping Israelites.

Lived in Hellenized regions
Thought like Stoics and mystics
Rejected Moses and the Prophets
Created a new religion using Hebrew words but Greek thinking

"If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham." — Yeshua (John 8:39)

⚔️ What Replaced the Hebrew Faith?

The Elkesaites’ religion was not obedience.
It was ritual, mysticism, and secret wisdom:

❌ No covenant
❌ No prophetic authority
❌ No fear of Yhwh
✅ Just baptism, angels, and false peace

Now compare:

Acts 2 – Baptism replaces obedience
Hebrews 10 – No more sacrifice
Colossians 2 – Angel worship
John 1 – Mystical “Logos” doctrine

These books carry the fingerprints of the Elkesaites, not the voice of Yhwh.

🔥 Final Warning

The Book of Elchasai was never from Yhwh.
It came from Greek-Jewish mystics who blended truth with sorcery.

The Roman Church didn’t destroy it —
They hid it inside the religion they built.

And today, billions follow a faith built on
rituals, mysticism, and angelic lies —
Not the covenant Yhwh gave to His people.
