Meteorologists define fog six different ways; advection fog, radiation fog, upslope fog, steam fog, frontal fog, and ice fog. Similarly, we have different types of fog in Christian spiritual warfare. Spiritual war is no different than physical or political war. Everyone takes a side and then each side tries to publicly persuade others to their cause. The fog of war describes a point of uncertainty promoting fear of the enemy. There is a fog in spiritual warfare. We do not see the full picture and have to spend time unraveling the dense haze that has been cast over everything that we think we know so that we can effectively wage battle against the enemies of the Living God. We are not in this alone, the Holy Spirit is with us, with guidance, direction, and grace for the battle. What makes this war hard to decipher is that we have been told to trust the wrong people. We simply don’t understand our history. Yet every day, from the day of our birth until the day of our death, we live in a spiritual war that affects our physical, cultural, and societal surroundings. If we think about our previous studies we know that there was a genetic alteration that took place in manfaced. There is one being who was intentionally created to spar and prick the angels. There are other beings who were tricked into rebellion. There is one being who stole the adams authority and rules over the fallen sons of god called the prince of this world or the ruler of darkness. There are multiple races of the sons of the Elohim. And since the time of Jesus’ crucifixion there are intentional humans subverting the content, history, and the spiritual awareness that was laid out for us in the Bible. With this in mind we have a bit of fog cutting to do regarding our Christian history. We have to understand where the church originated and who to trust regarding the knowledge of the Bible.
There are some important people who have been erased from the history of the Bible which leads to confusion when we read our history. We see them from the time of Jared, Enoch, Noah, Shem, Eber, through to today. This priestly line was a priesthood by choice that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob participated in. However after the exodus of Jacob’s heirs from Egypt, Jacob’s sons never chose that way, instead they relied on their physical heritage from Jacob, elevating their birth tribes instead of choosing the best people for the job. Yet the priesthood and prophets existing by education and choice continued alongside the heirs of Jacob. By the time we get to Jesus’ day we see that the gospels and the Book of Acts show all the elements of this priestly order if we read with understanding. This order established the first Christians because they were looking for and knew that the Messiah had come. They never rejected Jesus as Yahweh and Messiah. Yet there is a fog on all sides of these founding priests and prophets to pretend that they never existed. Instead the enemy would like you to learn the Bible from the Jesus rejecters. Let’s explore this.
It would seem that the church, the ekklesia, the called out group of people, have been told they should trust Jewish people to understand scripture. The problem with this is that Jewish people reject Jesus as Messiah. We know that the Masoretes erased thousands of words and verses in scripture, altered years and dates, and elevated themselves above the nations, but they also cast confusion over events in first century history. They eliminated the people that were opposed to the Pharisees and made history lopsided. To understand this we need to review history from about 250 BC.
The Greek kingdom split into four parts after Alexander the Great died. The Seleucids ruled over Jerusalem, while the Ptolemy’s ruled to the south in Egypt. Because Ptolemy was establishing the library at Alexandria he commissioned the High Priest in the temple of Nehemiah to have scribes transcribe the book of Genesis into Greek. Seventy two scribes wrote Moses’ Paleo (hieroglyphs) Hebrew book of Genesis into Greek. This was so successful that the scribes translated Exodus, then Leviticus, and so on. In total they transcribed seventy books that we call the Septuagint. Again this was done in the temple of Nehemiah under the direction of the High Priest. This was not a rogue band of men pretending to be holy with an agenda to erase the Messiah. The originals were then kept in the library at Alexandria Egypt for safe keeping. Who would think that invading armies would destroy the library three separate times. The seventy books then made their way around to different communities for public readings.
The tradition of Spiritual education originated with Enoch, later with Noah, and then Shem/Melchizedek. These men are the founding fathers of Christianity. Shem and Eber’s school was attended by many including Isaac and Jacob. Shem/Melchizedek started the Zedek/Zadok priesthood. Why do I use two words here for Zedek and Zadok? Because Hebrew does not include vowels. Over time oral scripture reading changed to written scripture reading and vowels had to be included. Depending on who was writing the words the vowels would be different. The Zedek and Zadok priesthood are one-in-the-same, originating with Melech-Zedek/Adonizedek/Shem.
Jasher 16:11 And Adonizedek king of Jerusalem, the same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Abram and his people, with bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melech.
Lumpkin, Joseph. Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher: Banned from the Bible (p. 205). Fifth Estate. Kindle Edition.
We can see where Melchizedek got his name, from the valley of Melech, his name at the time being Adonizedek. Adoni means “Lord or Master”. Shem was the Lord of the Zedek/Zadok or Hasidic priests. This is not the same Adonizedek of the Amorites in the time of Joshua, but many years prior to the Jews going into Egypt.
Jasher 28:24 It came to pass in those days, in the hundred and tenth year of the life of Isaac, that is in the fiftieth year of the life of Jacob, in that year Shem the son of Noah died; Shem was six hundred years old at his death. 25 And when Shem died Jacob returned to his father to Hebron which is in the land of Canaan. 26 And in the fifty-sixth year of the life of Jacob, people came from Haran, and Rebecca was told concerning her brother Laban the son of Bethuel.

How obscure and fuzzy has this subject of Melchizedek and the Zadok priesthood been portrayed?
Shem started a school in Salem, Jerusalem. Shem’s remnant lived in Jebus when David became king. It was a neutral country in the middle of Israel, on a hill near Jerusalem. David merged the priesthood, the Zadok/Zedek priesthood, with the Levitical Priesthood. Although the Levitical priesthood had to be from an Aaronic lineage, the Zadok priesthood did not. We also know from Ezekiel that in the future the Levitical priesthood will be outside the temple, but the Zadok priesthood will be serving inside the temple. This priesthood root of Holy Men was established from Shem and a tradition of Holy Men, Assideans/Hasideans continued into the time of the Maccabean wars unseating the Seleucids and ushering in the Hasmoneans who were later known as Romans. The root of holy people had survived throughout the ages separate from the temple and had not been slaves in Egypt. When betrayed by the Hasmoneans and Jonathan Apphus was made High Priest without the requirement of Aaronic lineage, the Assideans left the region of Jerusalem for many regions; Nazareth, Damascus, Alexandria, Qumran, etc. Have you ever noticed that we never talk about these people or hear anything about them? Who would want to hide their existence? Who would want to pretend they never existed? Who wants them erased? Is this an ice fog?
When we say Jesus is a priest after the order of Melchizedek what do we mean? We mean that he is a priest not of Aaronic lineage, as a Levite, but we mean that he is a priest after Shem. Jesus was from the tribe of Judah. Shem’s priesthood was a priesthood by choice. Jacob went to school there, Esau did not. The Essene schooling was for those who wanted to go, and it was either a four year or a fourteen year program. When schooling was done those who went in as young men came out at the age of thirty. See the fog here? This is why both John and Jesus started their ministries at the age of thirty.
Although Paul and many Pharisees of the sect of “believing Pharisees” went to Essene schooling later in their lives they still attended for fourteen years. These are the Holy Men who later traveled to synagogues and taught the people in the synagogues about the Messiah, Jesus. We saw Apollos and Paul were doing this as well as others. What led to the turmoil in Acts 15 is that people who were not believing Pharisees wanted to force the nations to adhere to the laws of Moses. This is an element that invaded the new churches and brought cloudy obscurity. They were spies. Remember the outcome from James, don’t annoy or disturb people.

As history shows us the educated Assideans (Holy Men) were respected, and many were prophets. Samuel had a school for prophets where Saul ended up naked and thrashing around on the floor all night while David was able to escape from Saul and his men. Have you ever noticed that there are no prophets among the Pharisees? No, Caiaphas did not prophesy, read that carefully. Caiaphas is not saying that Jesus would die to save (as in salvation) the nation, but in order to stop the uprising of Jesus’ disciples, and so that the Romans would not destroy the Jews. They then proceeded to plot his death, John 11:51-54. It is not a prophecy if you must conspire in secret to kill the Son of the Elohim. This is not prophesying by the Holy Spirit but foretelling their plan to kill Jesus. The Pharisees had no prophets among them. Why was the temple so defiled over the course of four hundred years and yet all the prophets were separate from the Levites in calling out the defilement? Why did the fathers of the Pharisees kill all the prophets? Matthew 23:29-31.

Today if one rejects Jesus that one is not a prophet. It does not matter how many rabbi’s are in one’s lineage. There are no Jewish prophets today because they cannot have the Holy Spirit without believing on Jesus as Messiah. They will die in their sins and are not saved. Therefore stop looking to ancient Jewish mysticism for special secret knowledge that is not from the Holy Spirit and not from any reliable source. This is the fog of war. Yahweh Jesus Messiah does not make special dispensations for those who reject him. Their knowledge is as corrupt as their religion.
We see an entire side of culture and life that started with Shem, that has been hidden and stolen from our understanding of history. Since we have studied this extensively I will list those studies below so as not to repeat them. If we understand that this group of people from Shem through to the Essenes is the driving force of holiness, education in Yahweh Elohim and of all the prophets, then we understand why the Pharisees and later the Masoretes wanted to erase them. When we read the book of Jeremiah in the Masoretic Text (basically any modern translation) and read the book of Jeremiah in the Septuagint, then we can see something profound. The Masoretic Text chopped up the book of Jeremiah because Jeremiah kept calling out the false prophets. The Pharisees didn’t love Jeremiah, so neither did the Masoretes. Now the contentions between Jesus and the Pharisees makes sense. We lifted some fog. Now we understand why the holy people did not connect with the Pharisees but stayed separated from them. However the holy people went into synagogues to hear scriptures and to get the Jews saved by believing in Jesus as Messiah.
As we look at the time period of Jesus, we see that it was Jesus who established the practice of going into the synagogues and preaching there. The word synagogue is used 252 times in scripture and to make it confusing the Masoretes used eighteen different words for this one word. Remember that the Septuagint was written in 250 BC in the temple of Nehemiah under the direction of the High Priest. While the Masoretic text was written beginning in 600 AD, finalized by 1000 AD, was not written in a temple or under the direction of a High Priest, and written all by rabbis who rejected Jesus as Messiah. This is an eight hundred year span of time. The Masoretes were not Greek scholars, yet they used the Septuagint and altered the words back into a form of Hebrew that was not actual Hebrew from the time when they occupied Israel. If we remember, Hebrew was basically a lost language after captivity, as everyone spoke Aramaic and wrote in Greek in Israel.

3) a synagogue
3a) an assembly of Jews formally gathered together to offer prayers and listen to the reading and expositions of the scriptures; assemblies of that sort were held every sabbath and feast day, afterwards also on the second and fifth days of every week; name transferred to an assembly of Christians formally gathered together for religious purposes
3b) the buildings where those solemn Jewish assemblies are held. Synagogues seem to date their origin from the Babylonian exile. In the times of Jesus and the apostles every town, not only in Palestine, but also among the Gentiles if it contained a considerable number of Jewish inhabitants, had at least one synagogue, the larger towns several or even many. These were also used for trials and inflicting punishment.
συναγωγή
sunagōgē soon-ag-o-gay' From (the reduplicated form of) G4863; an assemblage of persons; specifically a Jewish “synagogue” (the meeting or the place); by analogy a Christian church KJV Usage: assembly, congregation, synagogue.
Sunagōgē comes from the word sunagō, which is a compound word from sun meaning “union” and agō meaning “lead”.
συνάγω
sunagō soon-ag'-o From G4862 and G71; to lead together, that is, collect or convene; specifically to entertain (hospitably) KJV Usage: + accompany, assemble (selves, together), bestow, come together, gather (selves together, up, together), lead into, resort, take in.
σύν
sun soon A primary preposition denoting union; with or together (but much closer than G3326 or G3844), that is, by association, companionship, process, resemblance, possession, instrumentality, addition, etc. KJV Usage: beside, with. In compounds it has similar applications, including completeness .
ἄγω
agō ag'-o A primary verb; properly to lead; by implication to bring, drive, (reflexively) go, (specifically) pass (time), or (figuratively) induce KJV Usage: be, bring (forth), carry, (let) go, keep, lead away, be open.
In the Old Covenant the word sunagōgē is used as a “gathering or assembly”. In the New Covenant it is used as a specific type of place, a “synagogue”. It was for learning, judging, punishing, flogging, and praying. It simply means an assembly of people or a gathering place. But if we look closely it is meant to “lead in union” or “bring together”. This is why the mission of Jesus and the apostles was so important when going into the synagogue, it was not to divide but to unite.
Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mat 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
This is a great message. This classically educated in the desert Essene/Nazarene brought the good news of the kingdom and healed people. Not just words but actions in healing. Is there something wrong with this good news and healing? The Pharisees created a dense fog over Jesus and his good news, but they still couldn’t deny his miracles. Keep in mind that the Pharisees remembered the civil war in Jerusalem where their order started and was established with a defiled high priest. The Pharisees had become a tyrannical force, ruling over the laity with ridiculous rules and laws. The Pharisees hated the Holy Men who left Jerusalem and rejected the Pharisaical order.
When Jesus sent out the twelve he warned them that they would be scourged in the synagogues. For what crime? Preaching the kingdom of God? Preaching the kingdom of heaven? Preaching salvation? The Pharisees allowed Satanas to blow more fog over the twelve because of the Pharisees own festering hatred in their hearts and their absolute need for power over the people.
Mat 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Mat 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
The synagogues were a tough place to bring a good message and to heal people. Jesus said this to the twelve before they left:
Mat 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Even now we are still uncovering the truth about the founding of the called out Body of Christ. We are still learning about Enoch, Noah, and Shem. The Jews put themselves under a curse by Satanas’ fog of war.
Mat 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Mat 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Mat 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Because Jesus and the disciples went out preaching good and doing good, the Jews from the synagogues killed the prophets, the wise men, and the scribes. All three of the people groups mentioned here are affiliated with the Essen/Nazarene/Therapeutae/Damascus Community/Assideans/ Zadok/Zedek/Prophets. Up to this point, all the prophets that spoke for Yahweh Elohim were persecuted at best, or killed at worst. The false prophets were still around. The wise men were known as the Assideans/Hasideans. The scribes were not temple scribes at this time, they were desert scribes. They are Essene educated scribes in the desert, who later hid scrolls in caves in clay pots made by the Therapeutaes. We know this because Jesus is sending them and he compares them with the fake scribes who desire long robes and love their status and their seats in the synagogue and at feasts. These fake scribes would not be sent by Jesus. The people that Jesus would continue to send them would be killed, crucified, scourged, and persecuted from city to city. Isn’t this what Paul (Saul) was doing before his conversion on the road to Damascus? The Pharisees that Jesus was speaking to put themselves under the curse of shedding innocent blood for what they were doing to the prophets, wise men, and scribes. No one seeing clearly would agree to this curse.
In the fog of this spiritual war we get confused as to who is who. Jesus says that he is sending people to them that they will persecute. The men who went into the synagogues to preach the Messiah were putting their lives on the line as the Pharisees became a covert assassination squad, sending out young Pharisees to do the dirty work of the corrupt upper echelon religious leaders with the blessing of the nefarious High Priest. We see the division between what is right and just, and what is wrong. It would be one thing to send someone out of the synagogue who preached Jesus is Messiah, it is another thing to hunt them down and kill them. Who is behind this behavior against the prophets, wise men, and desert scribes? What spiritual entity pushes this agenda? Why then do we want to follow the Pharisees who persecuted the ones Jesus sent, who hunted the disciples, and who tried to put all the non-Jews under the Law? If you follow these Pharisees you are living in a fog.
If these people that Jesus mentioned (the prophets, the wise men, and the scribes), had not been pointed out, would you have read that with the Essenes in mind or simply glossed over these three groups?
Jesus said this in the synagogue at Nazareth.
Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luk 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
This is one of those clear alterations the Masoretes made to scripture. Notice and compare the King James Version and the Septuagint from Isaiah 61.
Isa 61:1 KJV The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isa 61:1 (Brenton) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me; he has sent me to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken in heart, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind;
Isa 61:2 to declare the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of recompence; to comfort all that mourn;
Clearly we see that Jesus was quoting from the Septuagint. The Masoretic Text erased the phrase “recovery of sight to the blind” so that anyone could become the Messiah without opening blind eyes. We see that the synagogue of Jesus’ home town was not a bastion of truth and knowledge. Jesus goes on to point out to them how Elijah was sent into a heathen country, to a widow to wait out a famine. Her house was blessed, her son was raised from the dead, and he later became Elijah’s servant. Jesus also points out that Elisha healed a heathen Syrian but not the lepers in Israel, the northern kingdom. What is Jesus saying that made them mad? Yahweh Elohim will heal and protect the nations because their hearts are right, in comparison to those in Nazareth’s synagogue who want the miracles of Capernaum without following the prophets of Yahweh Elohim. Jesus is the Messiah bringing the gospel, good news and healing, to the synagogues and they didn’t want the message, just the miracles. They couldn’t see the Messiah in front of them because of the density of fog covering their mind.
Stephen was martyred for speaking about the Messiah in the synagogues of the Libertines, Cyrenians, Alexandrians, Cilicia, and Asia, Acts 6:9. He was filled with faith and did great wonders and miracles and they hated him for it. These synagogue people were not of the educated Essen/Nazarene/Therapeutae/Damascus Community/Assideans/ Zadok/Zedek/Prophets, they were Jews adhering to the laws that they could adhere to and were following the Pharisees. Stephen was the first disciple that we know of who was martyred for claiming that Jesus is the Messiah. That is the new message being preached now in the synagogues. This is why it was so offensive to the Jews and Pharisees who’s leaders plotted to crucify Jesus by the hands of the Romans. Paul was young as he watched and approved of the stoning of Stephen.
Jesus gave the synagogues the good news and healed people, now as the apostles preached Yahweh Jesus Messiah in the synagogues and did miracles Paul was going throughout the synagogues beating and imprisoning the believers in Yahweh Jesus Messiah.
Act 9:1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
Act 9:2 And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
Where are these things taking place? The synagogues. Understand that the Pharisees under their high priest was allowing a military style extraction of people who believed on Jesus. The high priest was sending in seal teams to stop the preaching in the synagogues of the prophets, the wisemen, and the desert scribes. Jesus said that they would kill, crucify, scourge, and persecute them, and they did.
Act 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Act 9:21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
Act 9:22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
As soon as Paul received his sight he preached that Jesus is the Son of the Elohim. From this time on we see the preaching in the synagogue of Jesus the Messiah becoming more prevalent. Paul goes to Essene schooling for fourteen years along with the group of believing Pharisees.
After schooling Paul teams up with Barnabas in Antioch and they leave Seleucia for Cyprus to preach in the synagogues there. At Corinth Paul met Aquila and Priscilla. Aquila and Priscilla had left Rome because Claudius kicked out all the Jews. Paul preached in the synagogue there.
Act 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Act 18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
Act 18:6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
When the people in the synagogue became rebellious, Paul left teaching in that synagogue and went to Justus’ house, in Achaia. Justus was a Roman whose house was adjoined to a synagogue. Think row homes and shops. Paul preached at Justus’ house for a year and six months. The ruler of the synagogue, Crispus, believed and was baptized along with other Corinthians, but the Jews came to persecute Paul. The apostles were shaking up the synagogues. Some Jews believed and some did not, but many of the nations did believe. Therefore the apostles continued to establish churches in the regions, apart from the synagogues. Josephus himself testifies that he attended some Essene Schooling, but then chose to attend the Pharisee schooling. Josephus concluded that Jesus is the Messiah, a message he brought to people wherever he traveled. This was new. The new thing that happened here was not without fog, mist, and obscurity. There was one message, Jesus is the Christ.
Once the churches were functioning and believers were living Spirit filled lives, we see the fog rolling in. Satanas’ assemblies infiltrate the churches. Jesus addressed this in two of his letters to the seven churches.
Rev 2:8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Rev 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Why are the people from the synagogue of Satanas claiming they are Jews? Who else can they hide behind? They can’t say that they are Pagans. If they say they are Jews they will at least be listened to as many in Smyrna may share a common heritage with them. So people impersonating Jews are disrupting the church in Smyrna. I wonder if this ever happens today? I wonder if people impersonate Jews today who are really of the synagogue of Satanas. This is important to understand, Satanas uses the same fog he used back then in our churches now.
Rev 3:7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Rev 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Again people who are from the synagogue of Satanas are impersonating Jews and disrupting the church of Philadelphia. Remember James’ words to the Antioch Syria believers, apologizing and saying that people should not annoy and disrupt them? There is always a fog of people who will meander their way into a church to put up obstacles, disrupt, and annoy the people. It is of special note that they are inside the church, not outside the church.
Jesus sent the prophets, wise men, and desert scribes into the synagogues and to the Pharisees to teach them about the Messiah. Our Christian heritage is derived from these people who were not of the Pharisees or the Levites but of Shem and Eber’s school, the school of the prophets and of the Essene desert scribes. The Pharisees and those following their order rejected the prophets, wise men, and the desert scribes, as well as the apostles and disciples. Why then would we think that the Pharisees, the Jews, and their followers know something we don’t. They don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding within them. Sometimes it is important to leave a dead synagogue so that we ourselves can grow. We should not resist the leading of the Holy Spirit to move on, as this is how we learn and grow. The prophets were well educated. The wise men were well educated. The desert scribes were well educated. Jesus sent them for a reason, to educate the Jews and the non-Jews about Him. Our forefathers established education for those who wanted to learn and they believed that the Messiah would come. They knew when he would come, and they believed on Jesus when he did come. This is the foundation of Christianity.
