**THE INVISIBLE COLLEGE and Menasseh ben Israel** “It was through its promotion of the “Great Instauration” initiated by Francis Bacon, that the Royal Society provided the philosophical underpinnings of the Scientific Revolution, which marked the emergence of modern science in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance and continued through the late eighteenth century, influencing the (((Enlightenment))). >**The expression “knowledge is power” is commonly attributed Bacon, occurring as scientia potestas est (“knowledge itself is power”) in his Meditationes Sacrae (1597).** **Paradoxically, the Scientific Revolution begins with the study of magic as “natural philosophy” initiated by Bacon, who was believed to represent the advent of Elias Artista**. “This transformation of both Elias and Elisha from prophets into magi and natural philosophers,” observed Allison P. Coudert, “**reveals the way apocalyptic and messianic thought contributed to the emerging idea of scientific progress.”** As explained by Herbert Breger, in “Elias artista—a Precursor of the Messiah in Natural Science”: Elias Artists https://www.fbrt.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Elias_the_Artist.pdf • • • • • A common association in the 19th century and one which has persisted into the 20th century, **was to link the development of natural science with the improvement of the human condition**. Thus, it would appear that the figure of Elias artist a was a forerunner of the liberal definition of progress in natural science: **scientific advancement as vehicle of social advancement, individual well-being and as a means of attaining a more humane society.** The Oxford scholar Richard Burton, in his Anatomy of Melancholy (1621), documented that the early Rosicrucians expected the coming of the master alchemist Elias Artista (Elijah the Artist), advanced by Kabbalist Guillaume Postel.

According to their calculations, **the next date of great significance would be the year 1666, which was the year that Shabbetai Zevi proclaimed himself the messiah expected by the jews**, and succeeded in leading, by some estimates, half of the world’s jewish population. • • • • • As reported by Richard Popkin, in “The religious background of seventeenth-century philosophy,” recent discoveries have pointed out that Louis de Bourbon, the Great Condé—one of the pre-eminent generals of Louis XIV, the “Sun King,” working with cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin—Oliver Cromwell and Queen Christina **were negotiating to create a world government of the Messiah, with Prince Condé as his regent, based in Jerusalem, after assisting the jews in liberating the Holy Land rebuilding the Temple.** Before he travelled to England in 1655, to plead with Cromwell for the readmittance of the jews, who had been banned from the country by Edward I in 1290, Menasseh ben Israel (1604 – 1657), a leader of the jewish community of Amsterdam, first made a stop in Belgium, where he met with Queen Christina and with Isaac La Peyrère (1596 – 1676), the secretary of the Prince of Condé, one of Louis XIV’s pre-eminent generals.

As he was married to Rachel Soeiro, a descendant of the Abarbanel family, Menasseh was proud of his children’s ancestry from the line of King David, from which the messiah was expected to arise. **In his 1650 Hope of Israel (“Mikveh Israel”), Menasseh proclaimed the necessary dispersal of the jews to all countries of the world, including America, before their final return to the Holy Land as a fulfillment of the prophecies of the Last Days.** But he also saw the jews as bringing “profit” to the lands in which they live: **“they do abundantly enrich the Lands and Countrys of strangers, where they live**.” 😏 It was for that purpose that Menasseh worked towards the readmittance of the jews to England, who had been banned from the country in 1290 by Edward I of England. >**The spread of the fervor of the movement Sabbatean was coordinated by the Rosicrucian followers of Menasseh ben Israel, also teacher of Baruch Spinoza (1632 – 1677), who was “excommunicated” for heresy in 1655. “Known as the Hartlib Circle, they included a group of millenarians active in England, including Samuel Hartlib (c. 1600 – 1662), John Dury (1596 – 1680) and John Amos Comenius (1592 – 1670), referred to as the “three foreigners,” whose chief sponsor was Elizabeth of Bohemia, daughter of Elizabeth Stuart and Frederick V of the Palatinate, of the Alchemical Wedding.** >**Hartlib had been the head of a mystical group like Johann Valentin Andreae’s Christian Unions, a cover for the Invisible College, which pursued Rosicrucian idea**. All three “millenarian Baconians” and members of a Rosicrucian “Invisible College,” they were responsible in fanning millenarian ideas among the English (((Puritans))) about the approach of the Messianic time that became popular in the seventeenth century. Gerardus Vossius, Hugo Grotius, Petrus Serrarius, António Vieira and Pierre Daniel Huet and other men of the so-called “Republic of Letters,” were part of Menasseh’s circle of contacts, showing the great reputation he benefitted among non-jewish [many are cryptos] intellectuals. Gerardus Vossius (1577 – 1649) was the son of Johannes (Jan) Vos, a Protestant from the Netherlands, who fled from persecution into the Electorate of the Palatinate.” https://ordoabchao.ca/zionism/the-alchemical-wedding-1 Abarbanel's Commentary https://etzion.org.il/en/tanakh/studies-tanakh/biblical-commentaries/abarbanels-commentary Who is Spinoza??
