Mar. 25th, 2025: Shakespeare’s King Lear

“Y’are much deceived. In nothing am I changed but in my garments.”

(King Lear, Act 4, Scene 5)

I want to stray off my comfort-zone here today, & comment on a work that is not Scripture in the plain sense of the word (since as you know this blog mostly comments on Scripture). It’s important for me to state, that Shakespeare’s work is not to be taken, in any manner, as a scripture; and, it is, in fact, dangerous to do so. The main “message” radiating from his plays is, simply: “The game is rigged”. I’ve seen many souls, Masonic & conspira-tarded, falling into Damnation for this mistake.

...

So, King Lear. Its villain is, interestingly, a “Bastard”, who is also a Little-Brother, and a deceiver. I.e., an ultimate under-dog; but an evil underdog. He deceitfully demonises his elder brother, Edgar. Edgar is portrayed as a “villain”, but it is in fact that Little-Brother—Edmund—who is the Villain.

It is difficult not to see the typological equivalence between Edmund, the Villain, and Jacob the Patriarch. The deceived father (the Earle of Gloucester) whose eyes get “plucked”, is typified by Isaac—whose Eyes “were dim” (Gen. 27:1).

Edgar is, then, the mistreated Esau; who is the “Eldest Son” (Gen. 27:15). He is the Legitimate Son.

And in this conspiratarded “rigged-game”, then: “The base shall top th’ legitimate” (Act 1).

...

This “game-rigging” represents the takeover, of the world, by the Serpent; or, the Antichrist—raised by the Jews as their “king”.

It is, then, the “adversary” (1 Kgs. 11:14), the שטן, set-over against the Evil Adversary (“Satan”)—it’s the holy “Serpent” (Num. 21), that’s “set over against” (Eccls. 7:14) the Evil Serpent—who brings the world back into Grace.

This is why some view Christ as the “Holy Bastard”, or “Holy Fool”; who is “wiser” than the Serpent; who, with rich Prudence, brings eternal life into the world (Eph. 1:8).

...

Many of you are not ready for the truth—not because it’d be “different” compared to the simple message of the Gospel, but because uninspired minds will always turn away from it, & so the little, feeble-minded should not be told.

I know what you’re thinking—since the Talmud calls Jesus a “Bastard”, Shakespeare must be encryptingly telling us Jesus is Edmund. But no! In this context, when the Talmud says the name Jeshu, it actually, on the level relevant to us, refers to Simon the Magician, who is the literal sense of the Talmud’s “Jesus”. It is interesting, because Simon says of himself (Act. 8): “This man is the Great power of God”.

Simon the Samaritan was “giving-out that himself was some Great one” (Act. 8)—and this is the same accusation that the Talmudic Sages raise against the “Jeshu” of theirs.

...

Obviously, the implicit level is different. On the implicit level Jesus is the Truly Great; and Jesus is the Mamser, who is the Majim Sarimm (“Flowing Waters”), that (Jer. 18:14) “...come from Another Place”.

Understand.
