Boid on claiming Marqe was the messiah (second Moses) of the Samaritan tradition

First say the obvious, that for Marqe to be a figure like the Tâ’eb there must be no doctrine of a future Tâ’eb, because this person has come. Then refer to Ben-Hayyim’s proof that there is no doctrine of a future Tâ’eb in the sections of the Mîmar Marqe written by Marqe, but that it occurs in the sections not written by him. Then set out the traits of the Tâ’eb. Then explain the technical term REALISED ESCHATOLOGY. This is a term from Christian theology, but it fits here. It means the expectation within history has happened, and the effect is permanent. There is still to be an unfolding over historical time, and still to be a more visible perfection at the End of Days, and both the unfolding and the change of state can still be expectations for the individual. In Christian terms: The long-awaited Christ has come, at a known date. There is still to be a Resurrection of everyone and everything at the End of Days. According to be both Christians and Moslems, this will be inaugurated by Jesus. This is outside historical time, so there is no way of calculating a date. But meanwhile, “the Kingdom of Heaven is within you”. Then show the traits of Marqe. Then refer again to the article by Kippenberg, and argue that the documented hymns attributed to Marqe include some that explicitly speak of a very recent repudiation of core doctrine. Given that the language of these hymns is as old as the language of all the rest, one purpose behind them must be the re-definition of the role of the historical Marqe. If the hymns had been written later, there would have been no need to ascribe them to Marqe. It would have been easier to remove any hymns by Marqe that didn’t match the new orthodoxy, and add new ones in the names of their authors. A recollection of an earlier even higher place for Marqe is the only explanation for the persistence of the tradition of the significance of the numerical value of his name. You might compare what the Talmud says about Ezra: “If the Torah had not already been received by Moses, Ezra would have been worthy of receiving it”. I think much the same is claimed for Marqe.
