Karaite theory suggests that Idumeans would have taken to Christianity being convinced that they were people of Esau and may have regarded Jesus as a sort of "Moses" for the children of Esau in much the same way that Moses was to the children of Jacob. According to the same theory, Hagar's children wee also awaiting their "Moses". However, for proto-Karaites, the Ieso in the Quran refers not to [[Rebbe Yehoshuah Minzaret]] but to [[Plony Yeshu HaNotzri Ben Stada]] who they nick-named in Hebrew "'''מסיח'''" meaning "distracting" but did not regard him as Moshia'. They regarded him as a Messenger to the Idumeans and promoted the idea of Mahmouda ibn Ishmael as a Messenger to the Ishmaelites.
The proto-Karaites were governed by a clerical office called a Ma'amad or Hakhamate under [[Nehemiah ben Hushiel ]] appointed by Khosrow following the execution of Haninai in 591. Just as Abu Isa after them, the proto-Karaites referred to their Hakhamate as the "Nabi". In fact there were very particular marriage rules which applied to the Nabi Clerical Class also known as the Ahl ulBayt. The rules were similar to the Yukhasin categories observed by other Jews and to those which pertained to the Feudal class in Europe.

The proto-Karaites were led by the Ma'amad of Ostikan (Caliph) Nehemiah ben Hushiel and succeeded in establishing themselves as Khosrow's rulers over Syria. They invade the Patriarchate of Jerusalem with the [[Quraysh ]] who prevent the [[Noahite Gnostics]] from access to [[Al-Masjid Al-Haram]].
The proto-Karaites were overjoyed and Muawiya's tribe went to join the conquering heros. According to the Doctrina Jacobi, many Jews began to believe that their awaited prophet had come while others condemned Nehemiah's armies.
