Who Is Yaldabaoth — and Why Does He Think He Is God?

What if a being believed he was the highest God simply because he didn’t understand what existed above him?
In the Secret Book of John, that being is Yaldabaoth.
The story begins with Sophia, who brings forth an imperfect being described with the characteristics of a lion and dragon.
She separates him from the immortal realm and surrounds him with a brilliant cloud.
But Yaldabaoth still possesses something powerful:
Light and Power that originated with his mother.
He becomes the chief ruler.
He creates realms.
He creates rulers beneath himself.
And eventually he declares:
“I am God, and there is no God but me!”
But the text immediately undercuts that declaration:
He didn’t know where his own Power originated.
That is the central irony.
Yaldabaoth believes he is the highest authority in existence because he cannot comprehend the reality above him.
So in the cosmology of the Secret Book of John, he is not ultimate Source.
He is a creator operating within a much larger reality.
And if you watched the last episode about Adam and Eve:
This is the ruler trying to keep humanity from waking up.
Next time, we pull the camera back even farther.
What exists above Yaldabaoth?

What If the Tree of Knowledge Wasn’t the Trap?

Most of us know the familiar Eden story:
Adam.
Eve.
The forbidden tree.
The fall.
But the Secret Book of John tells a very different version.
Adam is created by lower rulers — yet the text says his mental abilities become greater than those of his creators.
The rulers then bind him in forgetfulness.
Even Eve’s creation changes.
The text says a divine power connected with the light-filled Epinoia is placed into the woman and explicitly challenges the familiar rib story:
“It did not happen the way Moses said it did.”
Then comes the Tree of Knowledge.
Instead of portraying knowledge itself as the great danger, the text depicts the rulers trying to keep humanity from awakening.
The revealer says:
“I appeared as an eagle perched on the Tree of Knowledge!”
And says the purpose was:
to teach them and raise them from sleep.
That changes the entire meaning of Eden.
In this version, perhaps the real danger isn’t knowledge.
It’s ignorance.
Next time we meet the ruler at the center of this story:
Yaldabaoth.

Were the Nag Hammadi Books Hidden From the Church?

Why were the Nag Hammadi codices buried?
That question has fascinated scholars since their discovery in Egypt in 1945.
One famous theory points to 367 CE.
That year, Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, issued his 39th Festal Letter, listing the books he regarded as authoritative Scripture and warning Christians about other writings he called “apocryphal.”
That raises an obvious possibility:
Were books like the Secret Book of John hidden because religious authorities were trying to suppress them?
Maybe.
But the evidence is more complicated.
Scholar Paul Linjamaa argues that the Nag Hammadi codices likely had connections to Pachomian monastic communities.
Rather than simply hiding forbidden books, monks may have been reading, copying, comparing, studying, and using these texts for spiritual and educational purposes.
So why were they eventually buried?
To protect them?
Because religious boundaries were tightening?
Or simply because a monastic community stored them away for reasons now lost?
We still don’t know.
But somebody preserved them.
And because they did, we can still read texts that otherwise might have vanished completely.
Next time:
The Secret Book of John retells Adam and Eve — and things get very strange.

How Old Is the Secret Book of John?

The Secret Book of John describes an extraordinary revelation from Yeshua to John.
But when was the text itself actually written?
We don’t know the exact year.
Its origins appear to belong to the second century, and the work seems to have developed through more than one ancient textual form.
By around 180 CE, however, Irenaeus was already describing a creation mythology containing striking parallels:
Barbelo.
A transcendent Father.
Divine emanations.
Christ.
Sophia and lower creative powers.
That means some form of this theological tradition was already circulating within the diverse world of second-century Christianity.
And the surviving manuscripts show us something else fascinating.
We have four Coptic witnesses to the Secret Book of John:
- Nag Hammadi Codex II
- Nag Hammadi Codex III
- Nag Hammadi Codex IV
- Berlin Codex 8502
They preserve both longer and shorter versions of the text.
So rather than imagining ancient religious books appearing instantly in their final form, we’re looking at something much more human:
texts being copied, transmitted, preserved, debated, and developed over time.
Tomorrow:
Why were texts like this buried?

The Secret Book of John begins with John shaken and questioning everything.

The Secret Book of John doesn’t begin with Yaldabaoth, Sophia, or some complicated cosmic diagram.
It begins with John having a crisis.
After Yeshua has departed, John goes to the Temple.
A Pharisee named Arimanios confronts him:
“Where is your teacher?”
John says Yeshua returned to the place from which he came.
Then the Pharisee essentially tells him:
That Nazarene deceived you.
John leaves shaken.
He retreats alone into a deserted mountain area and begins asking questions about Yeshua, his Father, creation, and the mysterious imperishable realm.
Then, according to the text, the heavens open.
Yeshua appears again.
And what follows is one of the strangest cosmologies preserved from early Christianity.
The One.
Sophia.
Yaldabaoth.
The rulers.
Adam and Eve.
The soul after death.
We’re going inside the Secret Book of John this week.
Tomorrow: How old is this text, and how did it survive?

Who Exactly Are We Calling “God”?

We began this series with:

“Let US make mankind in OUR image.”

Then the biblical world became increasingly crowded.

We found:

Elohim.
The sons of God.
YHWH.
Angels.
The Destroyer.
And another divine “us” at Babel.

So maybe we need to change the question.

Instead of immediately asking:

“Why did God do this?”

perhaps we should first ask:

Which divine actor is actually speaking or acting?

Traditional Judaism and Christianity generally understand these beings within a hierarchy beneath one supreme God.

The Apocryphon of John, however, gives us another concept to compare them with: The One — incomprehensible, needing nothing, receiving nothing, and “not a being among other beings.”

Are all these figures simply names, agents, or manifestations within one divine system?

Or have we sometimes mentally collapsed a much more populated supernatural world into one English word:

“God”?

The text deserves a closer look.

Amalek: Divine Judgment — or a Lower Divine Ruler?

1 Samuel 15 gives us one of the hardest passages in the Old Testament.

The command is attributed to YHWH of Hosts.

Amalek is condemned for its earlier attack on Israel, and Saul is then instructed to destroy the population — explicitly including men, women, children, infants, and livestock.

Traditionally, this is explained as divine judgment.

But that still leaves another question:

What kind of divine being gives this command?

The Apocryphon of John describes ultimate reality — The One — as incomprehensible, beyond ordinary categories, needing nothing and receiving nothing.

So what does The One gain from the destruction of an entire population?

By that definition: nothing.

Are we looking at ultimate Source?

Or at a powerful divine ruler acting within creation?

This doesn’t prove the two are different beings. But the descriptions do not fit together neatly — and that is worth examining.

Tower of Babel: Was Humanity Wrong… or Was YHWH Threatened?

The Tower of Babel story gets framed as a warning against pride.

But look closely at Genesis 11.

Humanity is united. They speak one language. They work together. And YHWH says that if they continue, nothing they imagine will be impossible for them.

That raises a serious question:

Was Babel really about human evil — or about a lower divine ruler interrupting human unity and potential?

In this short, I compare that story with the description of The One in the Apocryphon of John — a reality described as beyond ordinary categories, beyond violence, and “not a being among other beings.”

Does the Babel story sound like that?

Or does it sound like a lesser divine actor operating inside creation?

Watch, reflect, and decide.
