"Grand Assembly of the Synagogue" convoked and instituted
by Ezra and Nehemiah, the last member of which was
"Simeon the Just" (ob 310 B.C.), was succeeded by the
Supreme Tribunal of Jerusalem, called the "Sahedrin"; but
this latter Assembly, whose President was the Nassi or the
"Prince," condemned Jesus to death because it did not re-
cognize his person and the nature of his divine mission. A
few Sophis, however, knew Jesus and believed in his pro-
phetical mission; but the crowds at one time mistook him
for the Mustapha or the "elected" Messenger of Allah, and
seized and acclaimed him king, but he vanished and disap-
peared from among them. He was not the Mustaplta, other-
wise it would be ridiculous to make Simon the Sapha and his
Church the Mispha; for the office and the duty of the Mispha
was to watch and look for the Last Messenger, so that when he
came he would be proclaimed as the Elected and Chosen One
