The twist is that, in a Thelemic sense, the story is the wrong way around. Jesus was merely a guy doing his True Will. So why would Hadit forsake him?

Oh, I see now.

Aeon418 said:
In the current verse those who are forsaken are the mockers. In the biblical story, before the crucifixion, the mockers dress Jesus up as a King and have a good laugh, before striking him on the head. Very symbolic, yes?

Yes, that meant something to me.

I think vinegar is a qabalistic code word. In some versions it is translated as sour wine, or wine mixed with vinegar. Both wine and vinegar in Greek equal 400.

400 + 400 = 800 - Omega - "It is finished". See John 19: 28-30

Yes, it kind of stands out from the story, maybe a little flag, as sometimes in the BOL. This makes sense.

The vinegar/omega referrence has just reminded me that the next verse is practically a direct quote from Revelation 22:11.

The end is nigh.

Oh dear.

I will keep my Advil near.
