“The Nazarene diagram, except in a change of names, is identical with that of the Gnostics, who evidently borrowed their ideas from it, adding a few appellations from the Basilidean and Valentinian systems. To avoid repetition, we will now simply present the two in parallel. Thus, we find that, in the Nazarene Cosmogony, the names of their powers and genii stand in the following relations to those of the Gnostics:
Nazarene – First Trinity:
Lord Ferho – the Life which is no Life – the Supreme God. The Cause which produces the Light, or the Logos in abscondito. The water of Jordanus Maximus – the water of Life, or Ajar, ISH Amon.
Nazarene – Second Trinity – The manifestation of the first:
1. Lord MANO – the King of Life and Light – Rex Lucis. First LIFE, or the primitive man.
2. Lord Jordan – manifestation or emanation of Jordan Maximus – the waters of grace. Second LIFE.
3. The Superior Father – Abatur. Third LIFE. This Trinity produces also a duad – Lord Ledhoio, and Fetahil, the genius, (the former, a perfect emanation, the latter, imperfect). Lord Jordan – “the Lord of all Jordans”, manifests NETUBTO, (Faith without Works).
Gnostic-Ophite – First Unity in a Trinity:
IAO – the Ineffable Name of the Unknown Deity – Abraxas, and the “Eternal Spiritual Sun”. Unity enclosed within the Depth, Bythos, feminine principle – the boundless the feminine principle. Unity in a Trinity, enclosed within the circle, within which lies all ideal forms. From this unity emanates the Second Trinity:
1. Ennoia – mind
2. Ophis, the Agathodaemon.
3. Sophia Androgyne – Wisdom; who, in her turn – fecundated with the Divine Light – produces Christos and Sophia-Achamoth (one perfect, the other imperfect), as an emanation. Sophia-Achamoth emanates Ilda-Baoth – the Demiurge, who produces material and soulless creation. “Works without Faith”, (or grace).
Moreover, the Ophite seven planetary genii, who emanated one from the other, are found again in the Nazarene religion, under the name of the “seven imposter-daemons”, or stellars, who “will deceive all the sons of Adam.” These are Sol; Spiritus Venereus (Holy Spirit, in her material aspect), the mother of the “seven badly disposed stellars”, answering to the Gnostic Achamoth; Nebu, or Mercury, “a false Messiah, who will deprave the ancient worship of God”; SIN, (or Luna or Shuril); KIUN, (Kivan or Saturn); Bel-Jupiter; and the seventh, Nerig, Mars. (Codex Nazaraeus, page 57).
The Christos of the Gnostics is the chief of the seven Aeons, St. John’s seven spirits of God; the Nazarenes have also their seven genii of good Aeons, whose chief is Rex Lucis, MANO, their Christos. The Sapta Rishis, the seven sages of India, inhabit the Sapta-Poura, or the seven celestial cities.
What less or more do we find in the Universal Ecclesia, until the days of the Reformation, and in the Roman Popish Church after the separation? We have compared the relative value of the Hindu Cosmogony; the Chaldeo, Zoroastrian, Jewish Kabala; and that of the so-termed Haeretics. A correct diagram of the Judaico-CHRISTIAN religion, to enforce which on the heathen who have furnished it, are expended such great sums every year, would still better prove the identity of the two; but we lack space and are also spared the necessity of proving, what is already thoroughly demonstrated.”
