Maimonedes: the man who invented Judaism?

A uniquely lucid survey.

Moses Maimonedes (a.k.a. “Rambam”, “Judaism’s ‘Apostle Paul'”), author of the Arabic Mishneh Torah, helped to organize Judaism as we know it today, prescribing the prayers, canonizing the scriptures, and weighing in on the Talmud and the Zohar in ways that are vital to the majority of modern mainline Jewish adherents—with their penchant for classical-Hellenic rationalism, political messianism, and their characteristic condemnation of Jesus Christ as both an unprofitable dreamer and the rabbi of “infidels” and “idolators” whose disciples Maimonedes even goes so far as calling it a mitzvah (“command“) to curse and even to kill. 😱

(Contrast with pure Judaism [ https://untrain.org/2026/01/24/torah-law-of-liberty/ ].)

A visionary Sephardic Jewish mobilizer at the end of the reign of the Moors in Spain, Maimonedes saw the awaited coming of Moshiach (i.e. Jewish national consciousness, global hegemony, Tikkun Olam) as necessitating the de-Christening of the prevalent social order since Christians, as a group, represent a mystical or decentralized afterlife for the Roman Empire, which he calls the last of the Four Great Empires (these being Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome [as in the dreamed statue in the Book of Daniel]), and identifies as “Edom” (i.e. the House of Esau, ancient rival to Israël/Jacob), and as a unique “kingdom of arrogance” owing to its rejection of Israëlite nationalism/Zionism in its missionary zeal to assimilate all peoples into the “Holy Roman Empire”, “Christendom”, and the like. (Notice how heavily Greece influences Jewry without conquering or crushing the Middle East.)

Christianity has no place in its heart for a Jewish nation (this was before Christian Zionism); therefore it cannot be tolerated. A Jewish world order, by contrast with an episcopal one, would mean a diverse globe of nations that would be left intact save for the requirement that these keep the Seven Laws of Noah 🫈: to use the old Libertarian meme, The Judaist wishes to “take over the world and almost leave you alone”. 🦔
