his
highlighting
of
Abulafia
s
importance
for 
the
development
of 
the
mes-
sianic
thought
is
still 
relevant
for
other 
reasons,
as 
I
shall 
attempt
to
show
later.
158
Altogether
the
profound 
messianic 
character
of
thirteenth-century 
Kabba-
lah
betrays
an
extraordinary
affinity
between 
mysticism,
messianism,
and 
the
biography
of 
the
messianic
aspirant.
159
Seen
from
this 
perspective,
the
history
of
the
relationship 
between 
messianism
and
Kabbalah 
must 
take 
into 
serious 
con-
sideration
the
frequently 
repeated 
commonplace 
that 
messianism
and
Kabbalah
were
organically 
integrated 
only
after
the
expulsion
from
Spain.
160
It 
is 
to 
be
hoped
that
after
learning 
about
the
synthesis
offered
by
Abulafia
and
some
of 
his
followers,
scholars
who
critically 
address 
these 
issues 
will 
entertain
a
more
histor-
ical
and
less 
dogmatic 
approach
to 
the
development
of 
the
relations 
between
messianism
and
Kabbalah,
as
well
as 
a
more 
adequate 
phenomenology
of
these
religious
phenomena.
