Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before ...
Gabriel confronts Thomas in the church and tells him "you know how you get that dent in your top lip ..." I believe he's talking about the philtrum. He then makes the sign of ssshhh.
Gabriel is Harpocrates (the Greek.)
Harpocrates was Horus (the Egyptian).
In late Greek mythology as developed in Ptolemaic Alexandria, Harpocrates (Ancient Greek: Ἁρποκράτης) is the god of silence. Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian child god Horus. To the ancient Egyptians, Horus represented the newborn Sun, rising each day at dawn. When the Greeks conquered Egypt under Alexander the Great, they transformed the Egyptian Horus into their Hellenistic god known as Harpocrates, a rendering from Egyptian Har-pa-khered or Heru-pa-khered (meaning "Horus the Child").
Gabriel tells Thomas, long before you were born, I told you a secret, and then I said SSSHH. The God of Secrets, the Angel of Silence.
In Egyptian mythology, Horus was conceived by Isis, the mother goddess, from Osiris, the original god-king of Egypt, who had been murdered by his brother Set,and thus became the god of the underworld. The Greeks melded Osiris with their underworld god, Hades, to produce the essentially Alexandrian syncretism, Serapis.
Looking into Serapis brings you to a lot of parallels with Jesus the Christ. In fact, back in the day, so revered was Serapis that when peeps were going on a rampage destroying temples for the New Mono God, some refused to destroy the temples of Serapis. And when they eventually did, they found many artefacts that closely resembled things used by Christians. Some in fact, the same. But pre-dating.
Anyway. Gabriel tells you who he is. He is Harpocrates. He is Horus. His battle is with Set, also known as Typhon.
Makes you wonder who God is in the story.
(but its understandable if you're left wondering, seeing as no one can seem to figure out if Lucifer and Satan are one and the same. As Lucifer is Roman, Sa'tan is Hebrew. With two totally different meanings, and both are barely mentioned in the Bible.)
God might be who the Gnostics thought as the blind god, Yaldabaoth aka Samael.
He is Demiurge and maker of man, but as a ray of light from above enters the body of man and gives him a soul, Yaldabaoth is filled with envy; he tries to limit man's knowledge by forbidding him the fruit of knowledge in paradise. At the consummation of all things all light will return to the Pleroma. But Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, with the material world, will be cast into the lower depths.
Yaldabaoth is frequently called "the Lion-faced", leontoeides, with the body of a serpent. We are told also that the Demiurge is of a fiery nature, the words of Moses being applied to him, “the Lord our God is a burning and consuming fire,” a text which Hippolytus claims was also used by Simon.
It's an okay movie. share
