Gnostic timeline reversed?

Hi Brad,
Just letting you know that I find all this stuff interesting about whether Jesus really existed back then. I believe Gnosticism predates Christianity. It blows you away to think of this big hoax. I also think their is a link between the epistles, gnostic texts and the dead sea scrolls, am just investigating it all right now.

I started investigating the NT scriptures years ago when I became dubious about the authencity of them. There is mega amounts of writing in it to believe that the messiah will be living in the last days when the mystery of christianity is revealed. Hebrews 1:1
In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son", Hebrews 9:26 But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by sacrifice of himself and Peter 1:20 He was destined before the foundation of the world but was made manifest at the end of times for your sake etc.I don't believe the original authors got the timing mixed up and thought they were living in the last days as there are references in the OT as to it being in the last days also, ie Micah 4:1
It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills; and many people shall flow to it and Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like the son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.I believe that most of the NT was originally written as a prophesy for the last days to be fulfilled (as Revelations is). I think the authorities of the past have tampered with the scriptures to include miracles, the virgin birth (as mainstream christianity has it)etc etc, to make it out to be a past event. I believe the mystery of it all is just that and as it says in Daniel 12:9
He said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. and Daniel 12:4
But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase and Romans 16:25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith — to the only wise God be glory for ever more through Jesus Christ! Amen.Would anyone else like to comment on this?

Hey Brad,As you have probably gathered from my other messages I don't think that Jesus or the diciples existed in history at all. I hope that seaching all this sort of stuff hasn't affected your faith in God, cause it hasn't for me it has only made me search harder and become closer to God. I'm willing to listen to any weird assumption about christianity cause as it says over and over in the Old and New Testament, it is a mystery to be revealed in the last times through the scriptures.I will also look into Timothy Freke. I also luv talking about this sort of stuff.
