The Gnostic Idea of the "Heavenly Man" as Messiah was born in the so-called Baptistic movements of the Qumran desert. In the same desert, the Essenes prepared for 40 years for the Eschatological War of the Sons of Light against the Sons of Darkness and the Coming of the Heavenly Messiah.
After the Destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70 AD, many "proto-Gnostic" Jews considered that Yahweh had become silent. This happened - they said - because he was not the Good God of the Universe, but the Imperfect Creator of the Material World, Yaldabaoth.
Thus, the main Gnosticism was born, whose ideas run through human history to this day: Manichaeans, Cathars, Freemasons.
