The Nag Hammadi Library

The Nag Hammadi Library was a series of scrolls found in Egypt in 1945. It contains many writings that give an insight into the Gnostic mindset of the time. The Gnostics were against the Abrahamic religions and the God of Jews who in my opinion is the same as Zeus and his bloodline.
The Gnostics considered the soul to be hermaphroditic once it combined with the spirit. The Gnostics referred to the Abrahamic God as Samael, Saklas, Yaldabaoth, the DemiUrge, and as a crazy God. Yaldabaoth was Saturn-Cronus who was the father of Zeus. I would say that the entire Cronide bloodline back to the father of Uranus is encoded in the Abrahamic religions. Per the Gnostics:
The Hypostasis of the Archons
(The Reality of the Rulers)
(The Reality of the Rulers)
“This ruler, by being androgynous, made himself a vast realm, an extent without limit. And he contemplated creating offspring for himself, and created for himself seven offspring, androgynous just like their parent. And he said to his offspring, “It is I who am god of the entirety.”
And Zoe (Life), the daughter of Pistis Sophia, cried out and said to him, “You are mistaken, Sakla!” – for which the alternative name is Yaltabaoth. She breathed into his face, and her breath became a fiery angel for her; and that angel bound Yaldabaoth and cast him down into Tartaros below the abyss.
Now when his offspring Sabaoth saw the force of that angel, he repented and condemned his father and his mother, matter. He loathed her, but he sang songs of praise up to Sophia and her daughter Zoe. And Sophia and Zoe caught him up and gave him charge of the seventh heaven, below the veil between above and below. And he is called ‘God of the forces, Sabaoth’, since he is up above the forces of chaos, for Sophia established him.”
”
“There, I have taught you about the pattern of the rulers; and the matter in which it was expressed; and their parent; and their universe.”
But I said, “Sir, am I also from their matter?”
“You, together with your offspring, are from the primeval father; from above, out of the imperishable light, their souls are come. Thus the authorities cannot approach them, because of the spirit of truth present within them; and all who have become acquainted with this way exist deathless in the midst of dying mankind. Still, that sown element will not become known now. Instead, after three generations it will come to be known, and it has freed them from the bondage of the authorities’ error.”
Then I said, “Sir, how much longer?”
He said to me, “Until the moment when the true man, within a modeled form, reveals the existence of the spirit of truth, which the father has sent.
Then he will teach them about everything, and he will anoint them with the unction of life eternal, given him from the undominated generation.
Then they will be freed of blind thought, and they will trample underfoot death, which is of the authorities, and they will ascend into the limitless light where this sown element belongs.
Then the authorities will relinquish their ages, and their angels will weep over their destruction, and their demons will lament their death.
Then all the children of the light will be truly acquainted with the truth and their root, and the father of the entirety and the holy spirit. They will all say with a single voice, ‘The father’s truth is just, and the son presides over the entirety”, and from everyone unto the ages of ages, “Holy – holy – holy! Amen!’”"
From Wikipedia:
“In the Apocryphon of John, found in the Nag Hammadi library, Samael is the third name of the demiurge, whose other names are Yaldabaoth and Saklas. In this context, Samael means “the blind god”,[4] the theme of blindness running throughout gnostic works[citation needed]. His appearance is that of a lion-faced serpent.[5] In On the Origin of the World in the Nag Hammadi library texts, he is also referred to as Ariael. Or the Archangel of Principalities.”
“Now the archon (ruler) who is weak has three names. The first name is Yaltabaoth, the second is Saklas (“fool”), and the third is Samael. And he is impious in his arrogance which is in him. For he said, “I am God and there is no other God beside me,” for he is ignorant of his strength, the place from which he had come.[23]”
