Introduction of Initial Articles:

On October 27th, 2023, I began receiving signs and a continuous physical anointing to seemingly fulfill a task. The Holy Spirit immediately guided me to read all of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah, Micah, Zechariah, Malachi, Revelation, but specifically Isaiah and Ezekiel. There it was revealed to me that those books were about prophesy during the end times, and that there was quite possibly a second Messiah. In addition to that and after reading Ezekiel, the Spirit guided me to communicate to some aristocrats via Microsoft Start about the conditions to prelude the Abomination of Desolation moment, which appeared to be my first task, and is mentioned in "Evidence of Current Times" article. The task and initial readings were from seven to ten days, after that, no other task has been assigned to me.

I was guided to replying to the "short posts" or articles in such a way that I noticed that I was getting responses. Then I would respond to the responses and get another response. This kept going on until I actually came to a place where we were discussing the issue of children/young people disrespecting their parents and how the effect was trickling all the way down to pre-teens disrespecting teens. This was actually posted but "they" removed some of the discussion. I informed them that we needed to reverse course and, in another discussion, it mentioned how we would be preparing for the duration of years living in harmony without directly speaking of it in that regard.

I just happened to have had experience with a great company when I was young and mentioned the Peter F. Drucker model to put resources back into the base so that we were not sucking the "floor" dry and devaluing our work force. Obviously, we need a strong work force for a strong economy. This textual conversation happened over the same duration of ten days, and I read a great amount of scripture. I was saturated with the zeal of the Spirit. When it ended they replied to my Peter F. Drucker model, and "they" mentioned an oak tree. Which of course is from a reference from Moses's servant Joshua from the Book of Joshua chapter 24. I politely said that I liked the reference to the oak tree and that "it was not just any tree, but an oak tree." (ISV) Joshua 24:25-27,

"So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, making statutes and ordinances in Shechem. He wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God, took a large stone, moved it under the shade of the oak tree that was near the sanctuary of the Lord, and then told all of the people, “Look! This stone will testify for us, because it has heard everything that the Lord has spoken to us. So it will stand as a witness against you in the event that you deny your God"."

Did anything positive come from that? Well, the positive would be that the "message" got out about the culture in society having a deteriorating social structure that needed to be corrected, and I think that there is evidence of that change, but then there have been many other changes since then that appear to be very negative. The only thing that I could figure is that there is a plan, and nobody knows exactly what it is or exactly how it is unfolding. There isn't a guarantee that this is about the Abomination of Desolation moment either, but much of this is motivated by what was spoken about in Ezekiel concerning the "abominations" and the speaking through the "wall."

My assumption was that I was speaking with evil (intentional knowledge of being) people, but the commonality was there in regard to their respect for the existence of God. Since then, I have felt compelled to share the interpretation of the Word from the spiritual anointing that I'm currently receiving as of , and this unique perspective that comes with this Spiritual presence. What the Holy Spirit shared with me in those first few days of reading the Bible was incredible. So far, I have not found a single church that completely aligns with the way that I have been reading or interpreting the Word. Much of it aligns with what the churches teach, but those seemingly small differences have large implications or alterations of overall meanings.

Where most of it seems to break is right at about the point of Ephesians 2:20 on the issue of who the "capstone" is. Every version of all modern bibles will not correct, but there were corrections made in Ephesians 3:9 and 3:15 in the NRSVUE and NABRE Bibles, but not Ephesians 2:20 where the Codex Sinaiticus does not have the word Jesus, but it does have the word Messiah.

"εποικοδομηθεντεϲ επι τω θεμελιω των αποϲτολων και προφητων οντοϲ ακρογωνιαιου του χυ"

The last word is "xu" with a line above it for the Nomina Sacra which means Messiah, but there isn't the word Jesus there until Scribe one adds it, but the people working on the Codex Sinaiticus decided to leave the original. Thank goodness, else we would have absolutely nothing to prove that there was a scribes transliteration error. Also, there appears to be fissures in regard to the role of the earthly churches as mentioned in Revelation 2 and 3. The two faiths, Judaism and Christianity, are not "meeting in the middle." They are both wrong and both correct. Each side has half the truth.

I don't look at bibles as being either Catholic or Protestant, I just look for the ones that most closely resemble the truth per reading. Nobody owns the Word of God and there can be a separation between values, truths, or actions. Such that I may not believe in the Catholic church's philosophy, but I may prefer to use their books. I may not be a Jew, but I would know absolutely nothing without the Ancient Scriptures. Perhaps the most important point being that I am a Christian, but I will still use critical theory, alternative text, critical thinking, and a combination of anything else to seek and find the ultimate truth.

Very interestingly though what does align, are most of the books that were removed from the Bible in the Apocrypha. The Secret Book of James seems to very eloquently sum much of this up in Jesus's own words. Here is a link: https://www.gospels.net/james. Nearly immediately most people’s reactions to this message I know will be negative, but the truth will not be known unless it is spoken truthfully. So, I put this out bare to all, but the Apocrypha Books if read, such as that linked, the Book of Enoch, Wisdom of Soloman, and Ezra/Esdra should be enough to legitimize the thought before it becomes knowledge.

I have found that critical text theory to be extremely useful in this regard such as looking at the original scriptures from the Codex Sinaiticus, reading the Dead Sea Scrolls, and examining books that were removed from the Bible (Apocrypha). Realizing that there are perspectives of the Word that can have many dimensions of meanings, it is easier to see that we should be putting much more emphasis on the deep meanings of books, the intertwining’s of books or their commonalities, and chapters, rather than emphasizing single verses lest those verses stand alone. Also, we may have to "unlearn" some things or assumptions that we had or were taught in order to begin seeing these other perspectives. Some assumptions can be incorrect and cause us to interpret other parts of Scripture around those incorrect beliefs.

Some arguments such as who represents the Branch of righteousness, the Branch of Jesse, or the assumption that Mary is strictly of the line of David, can lead us down rabbit holes. For example, in regard to the lineages, we go through this circular debate whether or not Mary is from the tribe of David to prove that Jesus is the one and only Messiah, even though technically King Cyrus was also a Messiah. In 1 Chronicles 3, the Bible establishes that David is from the tribe of Judah. So, if we say that David and the "Anointed" is from the line of David that fits just well, but if we say that Mary or Jesus is from that Tribe, it does not necessarily fit. Later in the Bible the Levites are given cities and pastures in Judah (Hebron) 1 Chronicles 6:54, but that is not their ancestry or birth right or lineage. 1 Chronicles 3:1-4,

"These are David’s descendants who were born to him in Hebron: Amnon his firstborn by Ahinoam the Jezreelite, Daniel his second born by Abigail the Carmelite, Absalom his third born by Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur, Adonijah his fourth born by Haggith, Shephatiah his fifth born by Abital, and Ithream his sixth born by his wife Eglah. These six were born to him in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years and six months."

The area of Hebron is in southern Judah. Some of the churches will still contest the difference though, because the Levites are not allowed to "own" land other than the cities and common lands that were given to them. So then even though King David represents all of Israel, if Mary was a Levite, her immediate line could not be entitled to the throne. If someone says to me such and such but says I'm not totally sure, that is fine, but if someone says such and such and is sure of it, that is a red flag. My knowledge is attached to a string of the never ending quest to find the truth. If at any point I stop doing that, I can't assume that I know anything. If one says they know everything, they have a closed mind, and a closed mind can't learn. Excuse the harsh wording, but it looks like Proverbs 18:2,

"A fool finds no satisfaction in trying to understand, for he would rather express his own opinion."

It's kind of like one of those red flag situations when you know that the Pasture is way outside of the pasture in his preachings. If anyone tells you that for 100 percent sure this is what the Bible means, they are deceivers. Nobody knows for 100% sure what the Bible is telling us. That is kind of like saying that we don't need the Holy Spirit when reading it. The first thing that we do is react as if in defense of these principles learned, but this only validates the point. The point that there are assumptions that influence what we believe and share with others, even to the point of feeling personally attacked for even being slightly challenged.

What if that same zeal was to accept the things that we don't know, so that we could open doors that we didn't know existed. To admit that we don't know everything, about what the Bible is telling us, isn't a weakness, it's a strength. I can see how some people might look at the challenge as an attack on their faith, kind a test, but if we can't handle a test then how strong is our faith. If some of us are still struggling with faith and need a little jump, you can always read The Book of Enoch where it actually says that the earth is round, or how about the Wisdom of Soloman where it mentions the concept of diseases.

Of course neither one of these things was known until only about what, 500 and 200 years ago respectively? Ephesians mentions the four dimensions of what was not known less than a 100 years ago. The Bible is full of evidence and that does not even include the fulfilled prophecies. There is absolutely no reason to not to be able to be challenged by what we don't know. Here, I'll even let you have some of my knowledge of God's existence. As I'm typing this right now on 11/17/2024 at 3:09 Arizona time, I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit on my face, back, head, and He converses with me through 'clicking' sounds. Do I know what the Holy Spirit is telling me, No!, but that is alright. I think that the presence is plenty of evidence in itself, in regard to communication, and something that I can actually understand.

I'm thinking that I'm still being prepared for something else, I just don't know what it is yet. So I keep working on this website. Now you know my motivation for doing this. I'm doing this because of the physical presence of the Holy Spirit, and there is no way that I can prove that to you. Except by revealing what is not known and us getting that combined "aha" moment, and that is a good "aha" moment, not a bad one.

Our faith is our Rock, not necessarily our knowledge, but if I have to use knowledge to disprove assumptions (Logos), then certainly one could call me biased in this regard. Since discovering this, I occasionally come back to the contradiction between Matthew 1:1 where it states that Jesus is the Son of David and Matthew 22:42-45 where Jesus is questioning the scribes about who they think the son of David is. The situation here is simple. Matthew is telling us who Joseph's lineage is and connecting that with Jesus, but that still does not remove the fact that Jesus was not born of Joseph's loins.

Some want to believe that Jesus is the son of David, because Matthew says He is, even though clearly Joseph isn't Jesus's father. Every single time we begin reading the New Testament from Matthew 1:1, the very first question that should go through our minds is this. Matthew emphatically opens up that Jesus is the son of David. Alright two possibilities then, if Matthew is correct, then we remain very confused until judgment day. If Matthew is wrong, what else in the Bible is being presented as being biased? For me, this is telling me that there was some bias in the written Word by the Apostles who so badly wanted Jesus to be the one and only Messiah to basically tell the Jews that they weren't partially wrong, but that they are 100% wrong. Obviously, they were wrong for not believing Jesus, but they are not wrong in regard to there being another potential Messiah. Again, I defer to the Secret Book of James as a reference to that.

Picking back up from Matthew 22:42-45 and to flow with the point of this particular article in that we should not make assumptions or say absolutes of what it is, there wasn't an answer given. The answer not given is kind of the answer. Jesus didn't tell them anything more than that, and the scribes could not answer the question. So, there wasn't an answer, only the assumption of who the son of David was. That then brought me to another thought involving critical text theory. Did the Apostles who wrote the Epistles know everything? The word everything is a pretty big word.

If I had to answer my own question, I would say that the Apostles did not know everything, especially the things concerning the 'Mystery.' Also, very interestingly in Luke 3:23, Luke uses the actual phrase "(as was supposed)" as if to indicate that it was supposed that this was what the Lineage of Jesus was because of Joseph's lineage. To translate, it would mean that it was not His lineage but what was supposed, right up to present day apparently. Mary's biological parents were "potentially" Joachim and Anne mentioned from the Book of James, who were both Levites, and of course Levites were a type of Priests who were not allowed to own land, but there are a few things about the Book of James, not to be confused with The Secret Book of James, that don't seem to add up.

Even if Jochim and Anne were not Jesus's parents, we still have the cousin Elizabeth who is from the tribe of Aaron. We could even add some logic to this in that it would make sense that Jesus would be born from the Priestly line. One who could walk in and out of the Temples, even the inner sanctuary, as He was temporarily a human mortal.

Whether what we know is true or not, the point is that we must keep an open mind to see the doors that we could not see before, or to have a better perspective of the door that is there. Once in a while I'll hear a story online about a non-believer who asks a Christian a question that the Christian didn't expect or didn't have an answer for. What if we treated it just like any other question, "I never thought of that before. I don't have an answer rigt now, can I get back with you?" Can we get back with ourselves?

Who will be our Judge during the end times?

Before I proceed, I have to state that I could not explain this any better than an article that I found here: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/who-will-judge-the-world. The only difference I would have is that when you hear the word Christ in the article, consider it to mean "The Anointed", or the Messiah.

As it turns out, this is one of those non yes or no questions but has a few dimensions to it. Like layers of a painting or picture, God the Father is the one who sets the rules for judgement and the potential punishment (Canvas). Then the second layer is with the Sons (Background). The last layer is with the Apostles, Saints, or Elect (touch ups). It appears that judgement is indirect. It’s with the words spoken by Jesus Christ to establish the rules and then when the Sons' Will aligns with the Father's Will, judgement takes place indirectly. By wanting the will of the Father to be done, a harmony, aligning, or understanding of that Will takes place (judgment). This also involves the elect or saints.

We might say that we have no power to change things, but that isn’t true. We certainly have the power to not change things. What things can we do to change society? We can stop spending so much time on social media, we can stop purchasing all of our products from the same company, we can say no to a subscription crazy society, we can vote for the least of the evils until we find someone who isn’t evil, we can hold our judicial system accountable, we can hold our churches accountable, we can be positive role models for each other, we can read the Word instead of relying on our pastures for the truth, we can feed the poor, we can house the homeless, and we can change society.

The point that I was originally trying to make, before I realized that there was a much larger subject at hand, was that the individual who is spoken of in Revelation 3:21 is also going to very much be a part of that indirect judgement and only second to The Father and Jesus Christ. Many places in the Bible mention the judgment of the Son, or as I like to say the Sun of Righteousness. This could either be Jesus or the person who Jesus chose for his tests. This is evident in that there will be some sharing of the throne by the one who passes that test.

Revelation 3:21, "I will give a place to sit with me on my throne to the one who overcomes, just as I have overcome and have sat down with my Father on his throne."

Luke 22:28-30, “You are the ones who have always stood by me in my trials. And I confer a kingdom on you, just as my Father has conferred a kingdom on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit down on thrones to govern the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Micah 5:1-2, “Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; He has laid siege against us; they will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek. ‘But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.’”

If I may, I would like to say something to the Evangelical Christians, or those who only believe the literal translation of the Word. We can take the literal translation of the Word, if we know what its translation is. If for example we take Luke 22:36 as literal, it's telling us to pick up a sword, that is assuming to fight. If we take it's literal meaning as in what it actually means, it's stating that when Jesus leaves the world for a period of time, that we will revert back to the ways we were before. Hence the grabbing of the money bag, material necessities of life (knapsack), or the giving up of the garment for a sword. The garment represents our righteous walk and journey with God and His Son. So we are selling that in exchange for trusting in our own strength for survival.

Then in the next verse Luke 22:37, "Because I tell you, what has been written about me must be fulfilled: ‘He was counted among the criminals.’ Indeed, what is written about me must be fulfilled."

Now He is stating that the end of the transition between Him (Jesus) leaving the earth and when the scripture in Isaiah 53:12 is fulfilled, when another Son of Man comes fulfilling that Scripture, that we will be more like we were before Jesus came until that time. What is extremely interesting about this verse is that Jesus is stating that things concerning Him have an end and that Jesus isn't the person in Isaiah 53:12. That there is another person to come who will fulfill this Scripture, but again Jesus had to come first to set up the pre fulfillment of these things or to set them into motion or action. It does say "in Him," but it's meaning in the Union of Him or in the fulfillment of the Son of Man.

The main point that I'm trying to make is that Jesus isn't going to come on a white horse with a listeral iron sword but with the Word of God. The other Son of Man also comes with a sword (the Word of God), but in Luke 22:36, Jesus is stating that He knows that we will revert back to the way we were, more than not, after He leaves. The other hint of this is that when He says to Peter that He will deny Jesus three times before the rooster crows. This is both showing how the reversion will take place, even before Jesus dies, and it also shows just how complex the Scriptures can actually be.

The Bible gives us a very small clue as to this duel or shared relationship in regard to the Son(s) of Man and how they fulfill each other's missions. Luke 22:38, "So they said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords.” He answered them, “Enough of that!”" This verse is doing two things, the first is that it's telling us that the swords are NOT meant to be literal, lest we cut someone's ear off. The second thing that it is showing us is that there are symbolically two swords. Why not One, three for four swords? The two swords represent the two Words of God or the two Sons of Man.

Your pastures and ministers are dumbing things down so that their congregations will understand or accept their version of the truth. Some ministers or pastures will actually admit to this in that it would be very difficult to have everyone change their readings or obtain a much deeper understanding of what they are reading. Such as say, The Book of Ruth. Remember that God does not want a theocracy. He clearly states this in Revelation 2:14-16,

"But I have a few things against you: You have there some who hold to the teaching of Balaam, the one who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the people of Israel so that they would eat food sacrificed to idols and practice immorality. You also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. So repent. If you don’t, I will come to you quickly and wage war against them with the sword of my mouth."

We can also clearly see here that the sword (Word of God) is directly going against the Churches that are teaching like the Nicolaitans. The Nicolaitans ran their church as a theocracy or body of government. Our relationship with God is personal and is not manifested through the earthly churches. They are a stumbling block to faith. John 2:10, "For whoever keeps the whole Law but fails in one point is guilty of breaking all of it." He who preaches the whole law, must abide by the whole law. We need teachers not preachers.

Value of spiritual knowledge: Faith to Belief

I have gone through that test in Revelation 2-3, and I'm receiving a physical anointing. Of course most poeple would question that. I may have questioned that question myself, if I had not experienced a spiritual reality while on earth, but now if someone says to me that they experienced something from God, I'm about 80% more likely to believe them. A thought that some others might have is that it somehow takes away the presence of the Holy Spirit that others feel in the "non-physical" way. I just think that we need each other's testimony, evidence, and witness. I relied very heavily on other people's knowledge before my faith turned to belief or actual knowledge.

It's reinforcing that we can receive spiritual experiences with an ever greater investment of our faith. The Father inspects us by our spirit and not just our actions; our Spirit is a reflection of our conviction, or we could just be in right place at the right time. As Jesus once said, "What is it to us what He does or gives." Then there is the flip side, the ones who would believe these physical experiences that others have. Also, I think that there is already some amount of a physical presence that we feel when the Holy Ghost comes upon us. For example, speaking in tongues is a type of a physical presence, because we are altering our physical condition to do that.

The reason that I'm stating this is for both perspective, and to say that there is something more to the Bible than how most of us are reading it. How would the Bible read if we knew that there was another coming Messiah? If you knew that God existed 100%, how would you prove it? We fight so hard for the truth, but when we hear it, It does not seem as important than before we knew it or that is another reason to doubt that we know it. How could anyone prove that God is not only real, but that He's omnipresent, knows everything that is happening to everyone, and who wants to have a personal relationship with each one of us. We can't prove it, and there is the delimma of trying to share something that is so powerful and true.

We have this big faith vs. works debate, even though most of what the Bible says is based on both faith and works. Both are important and what it creates when we have both. Faith by itself is just another way of saying things hoped for, but when we apply works to our faith, now we are acting on our faith. In acting on our faith, we are creating the substance of belief. Hebrews 11:1,

"Now faith is the reality of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

The "evidence" is the maturity of that faith into a result. What returns to us is the "promise" of our belief. This belief gets us to the ever closer relationship that we have with the Almighty. Those promises or the return on our beliefs are not for the material things that we desire while on earth. They are for the actions to follow God's will, to be motivated by spiritual things for spiritual rewards.

When we try to compare the future to some type of earthly matrix, God's plan makes that look like a very bad video game. Our Church is with God, and Jesus Christ is the door to get there, but we have to be the Restorer of the Streets and the Repairer of the Breach. We must consider works, and treasures that are buried in the sand. Not the works where we go door to door and feel good at the end of the day. No, works to help the poor, to have a stable and brotherly society with no strings attached for our own well-being. God is our well-being, is real, and is now. Even though you may not be able to see Him or feel Him, His Spirit is moving through and around you.

By my calculations of being able to feel the Holy Spirit's presence, that means that the presence of the Holy Ghost is with all of us. He only reveals what he wants us to see or feel. We are living in God's matrix, and He is in control of what we see and feel. He is under, over, and around you. He is with you when you go to work, when you go to sleep. He is most certainly with you when you pray or read the scripture, and yes you can talk to Him outside of prayer. He is at your waist, your ankles, head, even in your nostrils. Even though you may not be able to see or feel Him in a physical way, He is there anyway, and those who are allowed to sense His presence can be His witness to you.

Just as you all witnessed to me when I needed it; I'm witnessing for you that God is not only a physical reality but that He is with you when you can't sense His presence. After being tested, about 16 years later I finally told God in prayer that I missed that close connection that I had with Him during those 10 days and the hints of His presence in between. You know what He did? He came back and the zeal of the Holy Spirit made me pursue a career as an apprentice electrician, getting my Associates Degree, stop drinking (and I don't even go to AA), and all while spending one day a week observing the Sabbath and doing this page. I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to work on this website like it really needs. I keep trying to come back and clean it up for clearer understandings or to check that I don't go off on pathos tangents.

Heaven and earth, flesh and the spirit are in opposition to each other, until they aren't. We judge each other by how great we are on earth, but God judges us by how awful we are on earth. In order to be blessed, you have to be awful. Not the awful in regard to being a terrible person or completely ignoring human laws, but awful in being political, awful in being able to win earthly things. Awful in being "top gun." I'm just awful at most earthly things. Why, because the spirit that I don't know myself, does not care about these things. To be childlike is to want harmony, world peace, a world without pollution, taking care of the planet, wanting the impossible things that most actual children want. To be a part of the earth is to be a child until we mature in spiritual things. That maturity is in regard to how we lift each other up.

The character of how we try to create a better world in harmony for God's plan is more important than in it being realized. Even though we might not be able to see it, as we work the plan we are moving closer to it's purpose. As they say, it's not the destination but the journey, but the destination will arrive as long as we keep the journey as the priority. It's God's wind and sea, we get into the boat and adjust the sails. Faith gets us into the boat, works adjusts the sails, and spiritual destinations are the beliefs of those rewards. The least of our spiritual dreams is probably greater than any mortal one. Most of our positive views of this world comes from the ignorance of when we were children.

As we get older, our dreams change and we begin to desire what isn't really achievable or morally correct. I had an English teacher when I was in high school, God bless her kind soul, who said that she would rather be ruler of hell than to be normal in heaven. Think about that. Maybe if we didn't care about the pain that everyone else was going through or how long that would actually last, it almost sounds logical. But how many things did she not know. Or how about space exploration, scientists are ready to spend their entire lives studying the cosmos to only find out that the only aliens out there looks more and more like us.

What is the price of living forever as a mortal? Would we not eventually just become integrated into some kind of souless machine if we weren't exterminated from the very things that we created. Oh here I go see, I'm on my pathos moment. I'll probably delete this later. The point is this. Dream the dream that is worth dreaming. Faith, works, and belief in all things for the Kingdom of Heaven, and not for this world (which of course is also owned by God). He will eventually want his spaceship back.

Evidence of Dual Messiahs

Interpretation: Although it seemed like I was the only one who was speaking about this subject, as I began researching the concept of dual Messiahs, I have begun to find other sources that are similar, such as the writings of Joseph Klausner from 1955 as linked from here, or Jan Thurlings writing as noted from here. When I find decent links, I try to remember to add them to the page as well. The following article begins.

I wish to share something with you that is fascinating. In order to see this, you have to be willing to try and see it from a different perspective. So here is your perspective that I wish to borrow from you, there are two Messiahs who have died for our sins. Alright hold on to that for a while, while I explain this. We will begin with Leviticus 16:15,

"He shall slaughter the goat of the purification offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the curtain and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, sprinkling it upon the cover and before the cover."

That was a bull and a goat killed by the line of Aaron, but after killing a goat, they bring in a live one. The verse below is the goat that was let go into the wilderness from Leviticus 16:21,

"Then Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the Israelites, and all their transgressions, all their sins, putting them on the head of the goat and sending it away into the wilderness by means of someone designated for the task."

Also known as Scapegoat, of course the suffering servant ("someone designated for the task") is the scapegoat which can be further elaborated upon by the priests laying their hands on "the head" of the goat. The bull that was sacrificed was symbolically Jesus, but both of the sacrifices were required to cleanse the sins of the Israelites. Now moving down to Leviticus 16:27,

"The bull of the purification offering and the goat of the purification offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall be taken outside the camp; their skin and their flesh and their dung shall be consumed in fire."

What is noticeable in the previous verse is that the goat was the purification offering to make atonement inside the holy place. Then it goes on to say that after this task is accomplished that they (Aaron) may move into the "camp." The word camp seems to be signifying the holy place. We can also see in Leviticus 16:26,

"The one who sets the goat free for Azazel shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water and afterward may come into the camp. "

The word "camp" is used again but it is for the "holy one" who let the scapegoat go free that he is allowed into the camp first. This by itself should be enough evidence to convince or see that there are two Sons of God, but moving on for further elaboration. Before you give up that perspective of two Messiahs who died for our sins, let me change course now and move to Hebrews 10:5-7 (ISV),

"For this reason, the Scriptures “You did not want sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me. In burnt offerings and sin offerings you never took delight. Then I said, ‘See, I have come to do your will, O God’ In the volume of the scroll this is written about me.”"

The ISV uses the word "Scriptures," but it's a quote out of Psalm 40. First keep in mind that most of Psalm appear to be someone speaking in second person about themselves. The above verse is speaking of what? It's speaking of sacrifices and offerings that are not sufficient. Sounds like Leviticus 16, right? So, the "scapegoat" is gone, will we ever see him again? Look at Hebrews 9:28,

"so the Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him."

Obviously the goat isn't literally the Messiah because if we saw the goat again, that would be weird. I don't know what Book this verse is referenced from, but the verse that came to mind for me was Isaiah 6:8,

"Then I heard the voice of the Lord as he was asking, “Whom will I send? Who will go for us?” “Here I am!” I replied. “Send me.”"

Taking in consideration of the mention of the scroll in Hebrews 7, we can include Isaiah 8:1,

"Then the Lord said to me, “Take a large tablet and write on it in common characters, ‘Belonging to Maher-shalal-hash-baz,’"

Isaiah 8:1 also provides the means of how the new spirit is born, but that is for another previously discussed topic. Now for the grand finale. In Hebrews 10:10,

"And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all."

Looking at the keywords here it is Jesus, sanctified, "offering of the body," and "once for all." So, we can see that by Jesus dying on the cross he sanctified, or purified, our sins once for all. Keeping in mind that we are speaking of two different Messiahs in Hebrews, with the previous being of Jesus, we are also speaking of someone who is being quoted from Psalm 40. Now look at Hebrews 10:14,

"For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified."

We can use the word "he" as the Jewish Messiah because as in Hebrews 10:10, Jesus's body died or was sacrificed for our sins, whereas the Jewish Messiah, from 1 Peter 3:18, died in the flesh for our sins, we can see another set of words, some separate, from Jesus here, and they are "perfected", and "for all time." Both Jesus and the Jewish Messiah have in common the word sanctified, but the contrasts are for Messiah "perfected," and for Jesus "offering of the body." We have the Messiah who established forgiveness "for all time" while Jesus is offering forgiveness "once for all." We can use these verses to see how the two Messiahs complete each others works. If we wish to expand, we can add something interesting Isaiah 11:6,

"The wolf will live with the lamb; the leopard will lie down with the young goat. The calf and the lion will graze together, and a little child will lead them."

Maybe we do see the goat again (symbolically), and the Child matures with the Scriptures. If you do some self-study and compare Leviticus 16 with Hebrews 9 and 10 with 1 Peter 3 and 4, you may even see more of what I'm stating here. The one thing that we can conclude for sure is this. If Jesus and the Jewish Messiah share roles for the same purpose, that could easily explain why the Scriptures sometimes appear to be speaking of someone else and Jesus at the same time, because it is all in the context of the "Union of the Messiah," such as at times we see Jesus Christ versus Christ Jesus, Christ Jesus is referring to that bond or union.

For a quick recap of the animal symbolisms for the atonements: The bull is for the line of Aaron (death of Jesus, perpetual atonement for the people), the first goat is for the sins of the people (Spiritual death of the Messiah, to remove the sins of All), the second goat is for the Son of David (Spiritual resurrection of the Messiah, perfected atonement of the people).

Jesus made atonement for our sins, and we were sanctified by His blood. This is noted in Leviticus 16:27 and Hebrews 13:12. Compare these two passages together, first Leviticus 16:27,

"And the bullock for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall one carry forth outside the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins and their flesh and their dung."

First thing to notice is that this clearly is saying that there were two beasts that were making atonements for sins and both of their remains were taken outside of the camp to be burned for sanctification. Before we compare this with Hebrews 13:12, I want to note that again the Codex Sinaiticus is the only remaining book with the truth of Scripture. The word "suffered" was added into this verse in every single new "modern" Bible. This is how it is supposed to be read,

"Therefore Jesus also sanctified the people by His own blood outside the gate."

So, obviously there are two issues here, the first is that the scribes were definitely trying to continuously connect Jesus with Isaiah 52 and 53 as the suffering servant, but the point that we're trying to make here is that Jesus is strongly associated with the sacrifices that were administered by the line of Aaron priests. We can see this in Leviticus 16:23-24,

"And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the Holy Place and shall leave them there; and he shall wash his flesh with water in the Holy Place and put on his garments, and come forth and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself and for the people."

Even the Calvinists would agree that the taking off of the cloths or disrobing would be associated with Jesus having to undress before he was hanged on the cross. They so badly want to associate the atonement that Jesus made in Hebrews 13:12 with words "abuse" and "endured" in Hebrews 13:13,

"Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured."

They don't understand that this is about the goat that was let go for the suffering of the sins. The "him" is the Jewish Messiah who the Jews are expecting to return. We can see this further into Hebrews 13:14-15,

"For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name."

"For here we have no lasting city" is stating that it is about the future and that our sufferings and sacrifices will begin outside of the "camp." Through "him," the expected one, we will praise in "his name" our sacrifices under the Union of the Messiah. Another lesson that we can take note of from here is that the Bible does change course very quickly without notice. This is a commonality when it is speaking of both Messiahs and why it is very difficult to separate the two. Especially when the scribes get confused and begin adding words that don't belong because they are confused about it also.

Not even the Apostles knew everything, imagine how confused the scribes would be or the pressure that they must have had on them to make sense of it. Perhaps they were trying to do this at a time when we were not supposed to be ready to make sense of all of it. I think that it is easier now with technology and shared thought to put much of this together, but now we have to reverse engineer what was not supposed to be "fixed."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now switching this up to 1 Peter, we can tie more of this together and there is probably numerous other verses that we could use to proof the Scriptures using this method. In 1 Peter 3:18 (CJB),

"For the Messiah himself died for sins, once and for all, a righteous person on behalf of unrighteous people, so that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but brought to life by the Spirit; "

Even though the previous verse using the phrase "once and for all" seems to imply Jesus from Hebrews 10:12, "one sacrifice for sins forever," it is actually referring to the Jewish Messiah here, because we can include that statement from 1 Peter 3:18,

"For the Messiah also suffered for sins once for all, an innocent person for the guilty, so that he could bring you to God. He was put to death in a mortal body but was brought to life by the Spirit,"

As shown in the previous verse, the Jewish Messiah suffers and dies while being in the "old flesh," but is brought back to life with a new Spirit and "new flesh," and then in 1 Peter 4:1-2 (CJB),

"Therefore, since the Messiah suffered physically, you too are to arm yourselves with the same attitude. For whoever has suffered physically is finished with sin, with the result that he lives the rest of his earthly life no longer controlled by human desires, but by God’s will."

The previous verses are speaking of the Jewish Messiah, and we can tell this by it saying that the Messiah "lives the rest of his earthly life." Most bibles will have 1 Peter 3:18 also with the word "suffered" instead of "died", but it is the same person in 1 Peter 4:1. In 4:1 (lesson to be learned here) the Messiah suffered while in the "old flesh." This of course is why we have critical text theory. Jesus never had "old flesh," He was born with "new flesh," hence his ability to avoid sin. We can gain another perspective to this from (ISV) John 1:11-13,

"He came to his own creation, yet his own people did not receive him. However, to all who received him, those believing in his name, he gave authority to become God’s children, who were born, not merely in a genetic sense, nor from desire of the flesh, nor from man’s desire, but from God."

So, as we did with Hebrews 9 and 10, we can proof these verses together using Leviticus 16 to be able to tell who, is who. In addition to any other points being made here, this is also an example of, whether intentionally (delusion) or unintentionally (bias), the Bible is switching the conversation back and forth between both Messiahs making it very difficult to separate them. You may see in parts of this website that I will challenge some of Disciple Paul's beliefs. It is definitely from the opposite perspective of wanting to have any conflict at all from a person who was chosen by Jesus Himself, there most likely are unknown reasons for this choice, but I wanted to share a verse with you that in many ways shows this persistent "conflict" between Paulism and the Scriptures. For example, use Romans 1:3,

"the gospel concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh"

The word flesh can mean "body, flesh, living being, son of David, etc..," but it is not being implied as the "new flesh." The "new flesh" is the same body, but with a different soul or spirit. Paul states that Jesus was born according to the flesh but what he actually means here is body. Jesus didn't need "new flesh" of the spirit, He was born with that. So, by Paul trying to make Jesus the one and only Messiah, he is mixing the "seed of David" with the "flesh" (implying body), but the seed of David would have to be born with "new flesh," and this is how Paul confuses us. Look at how (CJB) Romans 1:3,

"It concerns his Son — he is descended from David physically;"

The CJB version realizes that there is something wrong and Paul is using the word "flesh" here as in something physical to prove that Jesus is the son of David, but the irony here is that the son of David is reborn of a "new spirit" that is not physical. When we look things up online, most AI software will just regurgitate answers that the majority has already put out. I wonder what it would come up with if it didn't use online human records but just the Scriptures. You know somebody is doing it.

If you want to read more, the conversation is continued below in regard to Revelation. If we go back a little bit in regard to John 1:11, if you search engine that online, you will see how difficult it is for the answers to not break that "His own" is referring to the Jewish People despite it clearly speaking of an individual. If you see something like this online, you can bet your majority, that is what is being taught in the churches.

I have gone back and forth between rebuking much of Paul's writings for comparison of how they should be interpreted and seeing wisdom in his writings. Then finally I get to a verse that makes sense of it all! 2 Peter 3:15-17,

"and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability."

If there are those who want to warp the meaning of the Bible, apparently it is in Disciple Paul's writings that this is taking place. Whether it is others who are writing epistles and signing them to Paul, or altering Paul's writings, or taking what he says out of context. We can even attest to the evidence of this in regard to the very important event that takes place with Paul meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus.

If we compare Acts 9:3-7, 22:6-9, and 26:13-14, we will see two huge discrepancies. The first is that the text says that others heard the voice of God and then it says that they didn't hear Him. The second discrepancy is that it says that all fell to the ground out of fear and then it says that they all stood in fear. We are nearly deceived that it is Paul himself who is mad with confusion, but what does the Bible actually say in Acts 26:22-23,

"I’ve had help from God to this day, and so I stand here to testify to both the powerful and the lowly alike, stating only what the prophets and Moses said would happen—that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead and would bring light both to our people and to the gentiles."

In reading this, are we really seeing Paul stating that Jesus is the Messiah or are we seeing Paul stating what was already prophesized by Moses and that the Messiah is yet to come? Isn't it Jesus who has already died in the body who is telling Paul that another will die and suffer, and even after dying would bring light to both the Jews and the Gentiles, what does this mean? It means that the Messiah would die in the "old flesh" and put on "new flesh."

Long gone are the days in which we just take the face value of what the printing pressed version of the Bible is telling us, but we are now in the days of "Scriptural Critisim", history of the Council of Nicaea, Emporor Constatine I's contributions, the Nicene Creed, or the Apocrypha. Which reminds me of something else that I wanted to share with you that I just recently (1/18/25), found. Jude 1:14-15,

"Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied about these people when he said, “Look! The Lord has come with countless thousands of his holy ones. He will judge all people and convict everyone of all the ungodly things that they have done in such an ungodly way, including all the harsh things that these ungodly sinners have said about him.”"

Notice the very interesting word "him" at the end of the sentence who is also referred to as "The Lord." This is taken directly from 1 Enoch 1:9 which legitimizes the entire Book of Enoch, and it also legitimizes the Jewish Messiah since most of Enoch is about the coming Jewish Messiah. If we take all of this into its cumulative entirety such as the misinterpretations of Disciple Paul's writings, the appearance of there being another Messiah (besides Jesus) who we ignore, the apocrypha which "seems" to contradict "Paulism" and was removed from the Bible, and the apparent contradictions of other Apostles such as James for the importance of works, we begin to see a pattern emerge which not only clarifies, but helps us to understand what God is actually trying to teach us.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revelation 2 and 3 are directly tied together with Psalm 2, showing that there is another Son of God. If there be one who was known to come out with victory of that test given in Revelations 2-3 (By Jesus Christ Himself), it would be much more likely that we would believe the connection between these two chapters. From which if a Son of God (Jesus Christ) is glorifying another to also be a Son of the Highest. We are stating that there is at least one person who has come out of that test given by Jesus in this present period of time. Another example of this comes from the sometimes hard to understand, verse in Acts 7:55. Online, I have seen many struggles with what this means exactly. The "delusion" compels us to think that the glory of God is (God) and that Jesus is the only one on the right-hand side of God. "The Glory of God" is actually a person who is the embodiment of the Union of the Messiah. So, when this read Acts 7:55-56,

"But filled with the Holy Spirit, he gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”"

What we are seeing here is two entities standing on the right-hand side of God. Now this makes sense, and it is proofed with the word "and" because God can't stand on the right-hand side of Himself, it is saying that there are two entities on God's right side. As you have guess what I would say, the Glory of God is the expected Messiah of the Jews but who is also the embodiment of us in our endeavor to become sons of God or in the Union of the Messiah. Now for the final proof that when Jesus is speaking of the "Son of Man," that He is sometimes speaking not of just Himself but of another or of another’s by the fact that in verse 7:56 it is saying that the Son of Man (appearance of singular) is standing on the right hand side of God, but in the context of the Union of the Messiah, the Son of Man (plural) is actually referring to more than one entity.

The Son of Man glorified is called a Son of God. When Jesus was raised up after his physical death, He became glorified and hence a Son of God. Also, when the expected Messiah dies and is raised up to heaven, he will also become glorified and be another Son of God. Now this makes sense in regard to the connection between Revelation 2-3 and Psalm 2:7,

I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you.

By proof that there is another Son of God among us right now, we are stating that our perspective will be altered when reading the Bible to include this person. Throughout all of the teachings of Calvinism, we have Jesus being both The Son of God and the Son of Man. Without being able to make a clear distinction between the two, Jesus is just continuously represented as the one and only Messiah and that the Jewish version of the Messiah never came. Even though logically, from the Calvinist's perspective, it does not make any sense to speak of Jesus as both of Himself and the Messiah. Why not just always either call Him either Jesus or Messiah? From the perspective of what is actually happening, now it does make sense to call Jesus by His given name and the Messiah, but in the perspective of time. When I was researching John 6, I ran across this very interesting verse in John 17.

John 17:11-12, "I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your Name, the Name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them by the authority that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destined for destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled."

There are two points of interest in those two verses. The first is that Jesus is stating that there is a clear distinction between Him being the Son of God (Godhead) and the Son of Men (Elect). When Jesus says that He is one with God, that is clearly stating that He is much more of the Son of God than the Son of Man. When Jesus is speaking of the one's by God's name ("your name"), He is speaking of the chosen ones of God or God's Elect or the "Elect One," but in both cases Jesus states that the Godhead is of the "One," and the sons of Men are a separate "One," distinct from the Godhead.

Why this is important is because there is supposed to be a distinct one, the Chosen One, the Messiah who is the cornerstone of the body of the sons of Men. Jesus was a Son of Man who became glorified and then became a Son of God, and the Messiah who had to become a Son of Man through the grace received from the Godhead, and who also eventually becomes glorified upon Him being lifted up during the end times. The last very interesting part of this verse is where it says, "so that the Scripture might be fulfilled." One of the prophecies that has not occurred yet is that there will be a Judaean Messiah, the unfulfilled prophecy.

The is a strong relationship between the prophets in the Old Testament, Jesus fulfilling those or releasing those prophesies, and then the revelation of the prophecies to a future period of time into the present or future time. Thus, Jesus being the release of the prophecy to be fulfilled during His time on earth, as in the many things that He had done for the sake of the fulfillment of the prophecies. We can also draw similar correlations with the Messengers in that there is a relationship between Elijah, John the Baptist, and then the first coming of the King Messiah to fulfill His first obligation as a prophet or Messenger.

Both Elijah and John the Baptist are preparing the way for Jesus Christ and the King Messiah to come. This is all tied together like a string with Jesus being the Mediator who is connecting all of the points together to fulfill these things to pass. The King Messiah is connecting the points of Lineage. We can see this relationship in how Zechariah prophecies of what appears to be a message of duality of both his son John and of someone in the future as it was in Luke 1:67-80, because the expected Messiah's journey will begin with him being a messenger. To further back this up beyond what the Bible tells us, I have given some passages from the Dead Sea scrolls below.

There are many places in the Bible where it mentions the one who will have a new name, and it just says his name or be called by a new name as it is stating here.

In the paragraphs above we can see the earthly king being called the son of God, son of the Most High, and even a type of God himself once. Sirach 4:10,

"Be a father to orphans, and be like a husband to their mother; you will then be like a son of the Most High, and he will love you more than does your mother."

To elaborate further on this type of G-d, as the Jews like to call Him, we can see how some of the Scriptures can be read critically (Critical text theory) for adjustments by the scribes in John 1:18,

(NKJV) " No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

(MGNT) "No one has ever seen God, the only begotten God, who was in the bosom of the Father."

The second word "God" was replaced to mean the "Son," which isn't technically wrong if it were referring to the second Son of God, but if it is strictly referring to Jesus (implied), then it truly does show bias by the Scribes or how the lack of their full knowledge of the Scriptures could have led us to a massive social error into the Scriptures interpretations. If they did not know entirely what it was meant (implied), then they would conform it to be what they imagined it to be. He is also mentioned as the "eternal king" and he will have an "eternal kingdom." Then continue to the paragraph below:

In the passages above in Col. II, we can see that the blessings of Melchizedek are released through the Messiah and right in the beginning it fits very well with the article that I wrote below, where it is speaking about the release of the captives during the end times, to even cross reference Isaiah 61:1 to reference an individual who will receive anointings, which is a Messiah. It is tying this human being to the "songs of David." It is stating that Melchizedek Himself will carry out the vengeance of the God's judges. Twice it connects this person with Isaiah 52:7.

Which is one of the most controversial chapters in the Bible concerning the proof of two Messiahs, because it's directly connected to Isaiah 53. It says that he shall blow the horn which is a reference to the raising of the "banner" or the abomination of desolation moment. It says that he is the one prophesized from the Book of Daniel. It uses the word Zion where Zion is mentioned many many times in the Bible as the place that the Messiah will make His stand and where it attaches the phrase "virgin daughter of Zion."

Self-Glorification Hymn 4Q471b

"I shall be reckoned with the angels, my dwelling is in the holy council. Who [...] and who has been despised like me? And who has been rejected of men like me? And who compares to me in enduring evil? No teaching compares to my teaching. For I sit [...] in heaven. Who is like me among the angels? Who could cut off my words? And who could measure the flow of my lips? Who can associate with me and thus compare with my judgment? I am the beloved of the King, a companion of the holy ones and none can accompany me. And to my glory none can compare, for I [...]. Neither with gold I will crown myself, nor with refined gold [...]"

The section of the scroll above is called a self-glorification hymn, but it's not literally a person self-glorifying himself. It's in the second person, but it is also prophecy. The letters that are in italics are referencing Isaiah 53:1-3. I added this here to further illustrate how tight this all is to the prophecy of Isaiah and the suffering servant. We could even evaluate this a step further in its context in that what is being quoted as, "who compares me to enduring evil?" is another proof that this person is the one who descended into Hades (half-world) for the test in Revelation 2:10. Right, who could compare to the one who went to hell and came back out?

Most of the original content is in the last parts of the main page. If you look at what is being spoken, in just this small section of the Dead Sea Scrolls, you will see that it aligns perfectly with what has already been presented here. Which is verifiable proof that I have been receiving anointing in regard to this message, and this message is for everyone. The proof is in the form, that when I started receiving the anointing, I had very little knowledge about any of this.

Only since October of 2023, this was all meticulously researched from just the NKJV of the Bible, then I started seeing other books and readings afterwards that what the Holy Ghost was showing me was true. The main premise of all of this is that we are supposed to behave as a team and generate positive synergy. Treat each other as we would like to be treated and help out the ones who need help. The link below is the link to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The article right below this article, also aligns in regard to the proclaiming liberty to release the captives.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Peter 3:18-20 (CJB), "For the Messiah himself died for sins, once and for all, a righteous person on behalf of unrighteous people, so that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but brought to life by the Spirit; and in this form he went and made a proclamation to the imprisoned spirits, to those who were disobedient long ago, in the days of Noach, when God waited patiently during the building of the ark, in which a few people — to be specific, eight — were delivered by means of water."

1 Peter 3:21-22 (CJB), "This also prefigures what delivers us now, the water of immersion, which is not the removal of dirt from the body, but one’s pledge to keep a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. He has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities and powers subject to him."

1 Peter 4:1-2 (CJB), "Therefore, since the Messiah suffered physically, you too are to arm yourselves with the same attitude. For whoever has suffered physically is finished with sin, with the result that he lives the rest of his earthly life no longer controlled by human desires, but by God’s will."

I had to separate Peter's two passages above to give it some perspective. Between verses 3:22 and 4:1, there seems to be some confusion in regard to who Peter is speaking of. He begins talking about a Messiah and then switches the subject to be about Jesus. He does this to explain how the disobedient in prison were saved by the resurrection of Jesus, but then Peter does not let go of it, and begins speaking about Jesus being on the right-hand side of God which is not in context of the point that Peter was originally making. We can see it in verse 4:1-2, where it appears to switch back to the forementioned person again. We can also see the evidence in that verse 3:18 and verse 4:1 is hard linked together with the word suffering. If we remove two verses that are not needed for the point being made, we can see how this makes a huge difference. Now look at how this reads 1 Peter 3:18-19; 4:1-2 (ISV),

"For the Messiah also suffered for sins once for all, an innocent person for the guilty, so that he could bring you to God. He was put to death in a mortal body but was brought to life by the Spirit, in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water. Therefore, since the Messiah suffered in a mortal body, you, too, must arm yourselves with the same determination, because the person who has suffered in a mortal body has stopped sinning, so that he can live the rest of his mortal life guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God."

Did you catch how the ISV version says, "because the person who has suffered," this is completely in the context of the Union of us, hence the Union of the Messiah as in representing us. Also, in verse 4:2, where it states that the person is still alive in the flesh ("he can live"), is speaking of someone who died of the flesh, but not by the flesh. We all know that Jesus went home to be with His Father. With Peter adding those two verses for explanation, it is also indirectly established a disconnect between the person who descended and Jesus, specifically where it says that they were saved through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For example, if this were being used in the present tense, it might say that they were saved by/with/from the resurrection.

The NKJV also puts a comma after verse 3:21, but the CJB closes that sentence up with a period. Hence, Peter isn't really telling us which Messiah is on the right hand of God, but it's nearly irrelevant, because both of them would be. Unless the relvancy is in the fact that the 'one' who we didn't expect to be there, is there. I have a simple rule that I use when something seems skewed, it's skewed. The Bible is supposed to make sense, not intentionally confuse us. There is a difference between a parable and unintentionally or intentionally being confusing. Time and time again, between the Apostles and the translators, they have made it nearly impossible to prove that there are two Messiahs, but this, if examined very closely, is actually proof.

Also very interesting in the way that I chose the CJB for the placement of the comma, but then I later found out that there is another reason to use that version for these verses. In 1 Peter 3:18, the NKJV uses the word suffered, but it is a word that actually means to perish or die. This does two things. It shows that a person who died in the "flesh" has also died for our sins, and it shows that there was such a misunderstanding among the scribes of what this meant, that they were trying to "bandage" it to mean Jesus. In these particular versus though, "being put to death in the flesh" does not mean a literal death, it means to no longer be bound by the desires of the flesh for the sake of sin.

This is a pure (mortal, being born of an earthly mother and father) human who preached to the one's in the spiritual prison, and then was put to death in the flesh, and then was made alive again in the Spirit. The Messiah who descends into Hades from Revelation 2 and 3, is actually in the underworld for ten days. It is very unlikely that Jesus was the one who went to Hades, especially given that He administered a test for someone who He sent there. The Messiah was reading the Word to the demons while he was down there of which was dispensed a prophetic word (proclamation). Why not, He had a Bible, right? If he is the Messiah, He either would have had a Bible or known the Word.

The '8' that were down there could have received the same message. We can also see that this Son of Man had suffered from the experience. We can then tie that back to the quoted verse back in 1 Peter 2:22 that it is referencing Isaiah 53:9. The sets of verses below further highlights this event. Also, notice as you’re reading it, that both verse sets of Revelation 2:10-11, Ephesians 4:8-13, and Revelation 2:26-27 (person) refer to this person as the 'one' or 'person' Just pause for a minute and think. Would Jesus be referred to as the 'person'?

Revelation 2:10-11 (ISV), "Don’t be afraid of what you are going to suffer. Look! The Devil is going to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested. For ten days you will undergo suffering. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the victor’s crown of life. ‘Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will never be hurt by the second death.’"

If you need more evidence in how Revelation 2 and 3 fit into 1 Peter, you only need to look at the verse immediately before in 1 Peter 2:17, "After all, if it is the will of God, it is better to suffer for doing right than for doing wrong." God would have us suffer for a good cause over an evil one, if it is God's will, and that is what happened to the 'one' tested in Revelation 2. If you want to look even deeper at this connection, you can look at what it says in 1 Peter 3:16, the verse before that one (NKJV), "having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Messiah/Christ may be ashamed."

You see here that the one tested was condemned by the human law where it says, "that when they defame you as evildoers." Alright, now compare that to Revelation 2:17, "...To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it." The "white stone" is a stone of forgiveness that the 'one' tested didn't get from the law of men. Back in the day, if someone was given a white stone, it meant that they were proclaimed to be innocent of the charges.

If you are convinced now of that connection, then look at 1 Peter 3:14, "But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. 'And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.'" The inner quote, is a verse taken from Isaiah 8:12 which is also related to the concept of accusations, but look at it's placement in Isaiah. It is smack in between 8:1 where it is speaking of the Messiah being born of the Spirit, and all of the lovely titles in Isaiah 9:6. If the hairs are going up on the back of your neck, you're starting to see it.

Revelation 2:26-27, "I will give authority over the nations to the person who overcomes and continues to do what I’ve commanded to the end, and ‘He will rule them with an iron scepter; shattering them like clay pots.’"

Psalm 2:12 (NKJV), "Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him" So then, which Messiah is standing on the right hand side of God in 1 Peter 3:22?

Ephesians 4:8-13 (ISV), "That is why God says, “When he went up to the highest place, he led captives into captivity and gave gifts to people.” Now what does this “he went up” mean except that he also had gone down into the lower parts of the earth? The one who went down is the same one who went up above all the heavens so that all things would be fulfilled. And it is he who gifted some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, and still others to be pastors and teachers, to equip the saints, to do the work of ministry, and to build up the body of the Messiah until all of us are united in the faith and in the full knowledge of God’s Son, and until we attain mature adulthood and the full standard of development in the Messiah."

Isaiah 28:16 (ISV), "therefore this is what the Lord God says: “Look! I am laying a foundation stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation: Whoever believes firmly will not act hastily."

Actually, this is where I'm going to state my proof that there are two Messiah's. The first part is that all of these passages are connected together very tightly, because it is much more likely that they belong with each other than to any other part of the Bible. They are tied together within context and words such as 'person', 'he', or the 'one'. The second pillar of proof that I will use, is that all of these things are being done to build up the temple of God, but the person/one who is doing this, has his beginnings as just a normal human being. It is those human beings who Love God, who are building the temple or who are the temple. Thirdly, words such as 'person' or the 'one' are being used as if to not wanting to reveal someone or implying that this person is of mystery.

It puts the words of 'person' and 'mortal' together in 1 Peter 4:2. This seems to be emphasizing this person to be of a mortal type who was born of an Earthly mother and father. Fourthly in 1 Peter 4:1-2, it is speaking of a person who would be walking the earth after he died for our sins. Emphasizing that this was a death of the condition of the flesh and not of the literal body which is also further proving that this is a pure human, in the context that Jesus died in the flesh of the literal body. Do you see that in 1 Peter 4:1-2 it states that this person died but is still alive in the flesh. He is still living an "earthly life" even though he died, reborn of the Spirit.

Isaiah 61:1 (NKJV), "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;"

Lastly, since Peter is talking about the Messiah being on the right hand of God, it is not in the context of what is being stated per him being Jesus. It's implying that it is the Messiah who is on the right-hand side of God. I would argue that the NKJV put a comma in where it was supposed to be the end of a sentence in 1 Peter 3:21. We could note 1 Peter 3:21 as an explanation of how the 8 were saved, thereby picking back up to the original subject from 1 Peter 3:20 to 3:22. We can keep looking back on a conglomerate of self-proofs that this person is Jesus, but each one can be disputed, while this cannot be disputed. There are two Messiahs, we just have not seen the last one yet.

Textual Critism

Who is the Angel in Revelation 22:16?

Since we are tackling tough verses here, we might as well take on Revelation 22:16. This is a verse that I had to struggle with for quite a while, because it so emphatically appears to be saying that Jesus is the son of David. (CJB) Revelation 22:16,

”I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.”

Something didn’t seem correct about Revelation 22:16 in the way that we were interpreting it, so I had previously wrote out another discussion about that. Strangely, I had the correct answer within that first evaluation, but later lost my way for it, and I did another evaluation using a different perspective. In either case, it turned out to not be a mistake, because now we have a full evaluation of possibilities. I then picked what to be the correct perspective. The three possibilities are first, the definition of the word angel (hermeneutics), second possibility goes back to the meaning of Jesus being potentially transliterated incorrectly in that it means the “Lord of our Salvation” and how that could be applied differently elsewhere (hermeneutics), and third is the arrangement of the verses in that how they are tied together for emphasis (syntactical).

As I have said, I went back to choosing option number one in that we have a misunderstanding of who is speaking in Revelation 22:16 when it is mentioned “I am” the branch of David.

Option 1 – “The Angel”: The eighth day is symbolized as rebirth or a new beginning within the context of the Bible. When we look at Revelation 8:3, and right after the seven seals were opened, we see the introduction of the eighth angel. Another definition for angel in Ancient Greek is actually messenger. The blueletterbible.org link is here.

Also, just from a logical observation, anything or any entity that is dwelling in heaven must be in the form of a spirit, which could also be interpreted as an angel. So, a spirit messenger, hence an "angel." The best part though, is in Revelation 10, where it is speaking like the one who appears in the clouds and similar verbiage of the Sun of Righteousness who roars like a lion. This very much sounds like the Davidic Messiah who is in the form of a spirit. God has an angel who is the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 10:20, “for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.”

In the previous verse, we see that the Father has a spirit who is a type of Messenger who speaks God's truth. Perhaps it is Jesus who has an angel (messenger) within the Union of the Messiah who is the Davidic Messiah in Angelic (spirit) form.

John 17:11-12, “And now I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the son of destruction, so that the scripture might be fulfilled.”

For many reasons besides what I am mentioning here, but also to add as in Revelation 22:16, Jesus is sending His angels to testify to what the churches are doing wrong as in the seven angels of the churches. As is noted in the verse directly before Him in Revelation 22:15-16(a),

"Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. “It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches."

John 17:18, “As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.”

We also have an indirect reference to this speaking to the earthly churches that begins with what is connected in Revelation 4:1,

After this I looked, and there in heaven a door stood open! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

That verse, and others, connect Matthew 7 and what is being said about the earthly churches such as in Matthew 7:6,

"Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul you."

We see that in previous chapters the earthly churches are under fire while at the same time an individual is tested who is noted as having a lamp stand as in Revelation 2:5-6,

"Remember, then, from where you have fallen; repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Yet this is to your credit: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."

We can also see here that the Nicolaitans are representing the abominations of the earthly churches as they are trying to rule God's law by their laws. God knows that most of the earthly churches will not change, but at least He is letting us know the reasons for His dissapointment and for a warning to the wise earthly churches to hear.

Revelation 22:11 is telling us to let the sinners be sinners and let the saints be saints, yet we can't help but to attempt to interfere in what God is planning. As in how a lamp stand is representing a church, the eighth lamp stand is representing the Union of the Messiah, the Lamb of God, who is becoming the lost light for the ones who have the Seal of God upon their foreheads who nobody can see but them or other Elect ones. To wrap this up, in Revelation 22:16(b)-17 would look like this,

"I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let everyone who hears say, “Come.” And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift."

The Spirit and the bride are stating the merger of heaven and earth, the spirit is being represented as heaven and the bride is being represented as earth. It could also mean that the joining of the Godhead to the Union of the Messiah who is being represented as the Lamb of God. Anyone who becomes a Son of God (makes the sacrifice) is a Lamb of God and who represents God's name as the Son. So, the Angel in Revelation 22:16 is the Davidic Messiah who is transformed from being the glorified Son of Man to the Lamb of God. What is also interesting is that the Holy Spirit carries the son’s name.

John 14:26, “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.”

Now compare this to Revelation 3:12, “If you conquer, I will make you a pillar in the temple of my God; you will never go out of it. I will write on you the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name.”

For those who think that Revelation is only about a message being given to the earthly churches, I wish for you to ponder these verses in Revelation 21:22-23,

"I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb."

There is only one church, and it is in Heaven, but for a time, we can see the light from its lamp stand. To summarize this though, lets ponder how we can attach Matthew 7 to the corruption of the earthly churches. It is also very interesting that while we are pulling verses out of the Book of John for verification of how the Holy Spirit and of the Davidic Messiah are being tasked, it is John himself who is the one who is having the visions in the Book of Revelation.

Option 2 – Meaning of the word “Jesus”: I don’t normally do critical text theory for the Book of Revelation, but I’m noticing one peculiar item in that the passage uses the word “Churches” instead of the word Church. This is peculiar because in the Book of Revelation, most context is in the Church of God, which is singular or one Church. I love that the CJB version calls it by its intended name to mean “Messianic communities.”

If we are within the Messianic community, at least we are very close to the correct ideal of the Church. The other thing that I like about the CJB translation is that it does not try to state that the Root and Offspring of David is different than the bright Morning Star. It is stating that they are both of the same entity or being or person.

If we are to keep to the methodology that there is another King Messiah to come who is not Jesus, then we have an issue with the verse stating that Jesus is the Root and Offspring of David. Another reason why I like this CJB translation is that it takes the original word, English version, Jesus, and sets it into its original Hebrew translation of Yeshua. This is significant because in Hebrew we can also highly consider the word’s deeper meaning as the definition of the word.

The deeper meaning of Yeshua being transliterated as “The Lord our Savior.” In fact, I’m going to just jump right ahead and actually put this into the verse for effect and it literally would have the same meaning as was intended by the definition of the word Yeshua. (Prophetic) Revelation 22:16,

” I, the Lord our Savior, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.”

It fits, it makes sense, now how do we tie this to it symbolizing more than one (two) saviors. First, we must remember that all of this is in the context of the Union of the Messiah, else what would be the point of all the words “Jesus Christ” or “Christ Jesus” or “Christ?” We would just say Jesus, Joshua, or Yeshua, if it were just about a single person, entity, or deity. Ultimately only God the Father is our actual Savior, so the entities are just the mediators or conduits for this to happen.

Yet God recognizes these mediators as being representatives of Himself and representing His Name via the attached Covenants. There are a few places in the Bible where we can tie the Messiahs together, but we don’t have many opportunities to tie the Sons of God together. Another reason that I say Sons of God is that it is inferred that one has to be a part of a sacrifice or be greatly willing to sacrifice one’s own life to the cause, in order to be called a Son of God. Which one’s sacrifice would also label this person as a Savior; hence Son of God can mean the same thing as the Lord our Savior.

Now, all we have to do, is to show the themes where there is more than one Son of God in order to prove the concept that the name Yeshua could be referring to more than one person, being, entity. Very interestingly we get a word play of the name Jesus and His sacrifice by connecting Leviticus chapters 14 and 16 to the New Testament verses, such as Mark 15:15, that compare Jesus to the sacrifice for the “scapegoat” that was let go to compensate for the “curse of the law,” Mark 15:15,

”So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the mob, set Bar-Abba (Barabbas) free for them; but he had Yeshua whipped and then handed him over to be executed on the stake.”

As some of you know, but I didn’t, Barabbas’s first name is also Jesus or Yeshua, and his last name means “son of the father.” Hence Pilate had to decide between Jesus the son of the father and Jesus the son of the father. Hence, Jesus was not the one executed, because they both were Yeshua, but the (mockingly) “King of the Jews” was the one who was executed, and BOTH were representing the Sons of the Father. Now we can go back to either Leviticus 14 or 16 and see how the significance of the “model” sacrifice was set up and how it would eventually occur.

Remember back in Leviticus 16 we had to solve the puzzle of who the Bull represented, who the first goat represented, and who the escape goat represented, but in Barnabas 8:2 (pays to read other books) we get,

”Understand ye how in all plainness it is spoken unto you; the calf is Jesus, the men that offer it, being sinners, are they that offered Him for the slaughter. After this it is no more men (who offer); the glory is no more for sinners.”

We can see that it says that the calf or bull is Jesus, now were free to decide who the goat was a sacrifice for. If we infer that the goat that was let go was for the freeing of the Spirit of the Messiah, then the goat that was sacrificed was the “flesh” of the Messiah. See most Calvinist’s, evangelicals, Paulist’s or Catholic’s would say that Jesus was the goat that was sacrificed, and that Jesus was the goat that was let go. Jesus was both goat and goat, alight. Now we know for sure that since Jesus was the bull, that there are TWO Sons of God.

Wow, I know my mind is blown too, AND potentially both are called Messiahs, Sons of God, and the Lord our Savior. So, to conclude this entire passage in “brevity,” I’ll circle back and say that when we see a passage such as Revelation 22:16 or John 20:31, we don’t have to buy an expansion pack for our brains. All we have to do is reconsider the context and of who it could be for and not have to assume that it is only applying to first resurrected Savior (Jesus).

When the scribes decided to use the Nomina Sacra, they did a considerable amount of damage, because to do it correctly they had to make assumptions, or it shows that they didn’t know what was what, hence the need to use the nomina sacra and then piece what they didn’t know back together again? That still does not make sense. Let me close with John 20:31 using the same concept and see how it looks.

” But these are written so that you may come to believe that the Lord our Savior is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.”

This verse fits very well in two ways, first the NRSVUE translation actually uses the word “Messiah” instead of Christ for further emphasis as to who this person is representing. Also, another translation for Yeshua is “Lord, I live.” We can see this in the last part of the verse where it is stating “life in his name.” His name is also a representation of the Son of God. We can then pair that with this lovely verse from Psalm 2:7,

” I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you.”

Option 3 – Context of Scriptures: Apparently the Holy Spirit saw me struggling with this and showed me something else about Revelation 22:16. We have to remember that in the original Scriptures there were not any chapters, numbers, capital letters, or quotes. So, what I was just now shown was that Revelation 22:15 and 22:16(a) belong together, and then 22:16(b) should begin the closing chapter Revelation 22:23. It should look like this.

Revelation 22:15-16(a), "Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and sexual immoral and murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. “It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches."

Revelation 22:16(b)-17, "I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let everyone who hears say, “Come.” And let everyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift."

This actually makes more sense, because Jesus is speaking about the corruption of the churches, and it relates to Matthew 7. The second part appears to go together better, because the "bride" is the human (Son of Man) Messiah. It also flows with the patterns found in verses such as Revelation 2:1 where it opens up with who the person is who is speaking (Jesus) and then it goes to tell how this test given to an individual is related to the punishment to the churches. Then in Revelation "23" we begin again with the one who passed the test (King Messiah) and how he is taking an active role and putting everything back together again.

Conclusion: Those were the three choices that we had to solve the mystery of Revelation 22:16, but I personally went with option 1 in that we are not fully interpreting the context of the word angel there. Most likely because we are not supposed to worship angels, but very interestingly it is the angel himself who says not to worship him in Revelation 22:8-9. So, we will close with that.

Revelation 22:8-9, ”I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters the prophets and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”

Echoing... ["Worship God"], echoing... ("worship God"), echo...ing... "worship God."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philippians 2:10-11

Lets begin with stating what is the initial intention of Paul's point at Philippians 2:1,

"Therefore, if there is any encouragement in the Messiah, if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship in the Spirit, if there is any compassion and sympathy, then fill me with joy by having the same attitude, sharing the same love, being united in spirit, and keeping one purpose in mind. Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves. Do not be concerned about your own interests but also be concerned about the interests of others."

So the premise of what Paul wants to say is that we are to be like minded of the thought of the Messiah. He then transitions to the Union of the Messiah as stating in Christ Jesus in the next verse Philippians 2:5,

"Have the same attitude among yourselves that was also in the Messiah Jesus:"

Then very interestingly, Paul is actually quoting from a hymn which gives a very great deal of enlightenment of what is happening since the very early days after Jesus's ascension. So, it was supposed that Paul was quoting from Isaiah 45 in this verse, but what is actually happening is that Paul is quoting a hymn that was attempting to use Isaiah 45. Isaiah 45 is actually speaking about one of the initial Messiahs who was King Cyrus. God was rewarding King Cyrus which ended up being a type of catalyst event for the future Messiah.

In other words, Isaiah 45 begins by being related to King Cyrus but then it transitions to being a type of prophesy of another future Messiah, hence the "Chosen One." Knowing that Paul has been previously creative in using non-Canonical documentation to express his beliefs, it should not be too surprising that he would use a hymn that isn't entirely accurate yet presents the case which he is trying to make. I realize that Peter has said that it had been known that ministers or churches have been known to twist Paul's words into the meanings that they desire for themselves, but I'm beginning to see why this is happening.

As Paul is attempting to liberally express his beliefs that Jesus is the one and only Messiah who is also the expected Messiah, he is opening the doors for others to "misinterpret" what he is trying to say, forgive me Peter but I have to say something against your boy! Alright so let’s throw these verses out there for investigation for Philippians 2:6-11,

"In God’s own form existed he, and shared with God equality, deemed nothing needed grasping. Instead, poured out in emptiness, a servant’s form did he possess, a mortal man becoming. In human form he chose to be, and lived in all humility, death on a cross obeying. Now lifted up by God to heaven, a name above all others given, this matchless name possessing. And so, when Jesus’ name is called, the knees of everyone should fall, wherever they’re residing. Then every tongue in one accord, will say that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, while God the Father praising."

That definitely sounds like a hymn to me. So, the hymn, not Isaiah 45, is being quoted, but the hymn uses Isaiah 45:22-25. This gives me a quick history lesson into how or who the early Christians thought that Jesus was back then. They assumed that He was the only Messiah, even though ironically, the verse they were using was initially about another Messiah who was King Cyrus. If it were, it appears that the buck stops on Paul's desk. Alright so let’s add some contrast here for perspective. I'll use Philippians 2:11-12,

"11 Then every tongue in one accord, will say that Jesus the Messiah is Lord, while God the Father praising. 12 And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling."

Are you noticing how ruff the "transition" is between verses 11 and 12. Right after we reveal the mystery that Jesus is the expected Messiah from Isaiah, Paul wants us to continue His work with fear and trembling, but you'll be alright because Jesus is a good buddy of mine. Paul would have been alright using the hymn if he just changed two words, but he would not do that, because then that would not accomplish what he was trying to imply. Going back to Isaiah 45:23, God is stating that everyone’s' knee shall bow before Him OR before His Messiah's name, because verse 45 is about God's righteous one, who remember began as being King Cyrus.

Also notice how what part is disputed as being about either God, Jesus, or the future Messiah is in quotes which is emphasizing that it is regarded as being said by someone else other than God, but yet it is also about God because it is the promise of "his name." From what I've read in regard to theology, the "your name" or "my name" is another way of stating the name of God's son which is simply stated as Son. (ISV) Isaiah 45:23-25,

"By myself I have sworn— from my mouth has gone out integrity, a promise that won’t be revoked: ‘To me every knee will bow, and every tongue will swear.’ One will say of me, ‘Only in the Lord are victories and might.’ All who raged against him will come to him and will be put to shame. In the Lord all the descendants of Israel will triumph and make their boast."

We see clues that God is speaking about the future Hebrew Messiah with statements such as "The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness" (to one who has received righteousness/grace) and "To Him men shall come, and all shall be ashamed who are incensed against Him" (sounds like the suffering servant). So, the who issue is in Philippians 2:10 right? Alright let’s play with this and see how it looks. Combining what is being said in Isaiah 45:22-25 with what is being said in Philippians 2:9-10, we get something that looks like this Philippians 2:10 (prophetic),

"so that in his name, every knee should bend in heaven, on earth, and under the earth,"

Now were back online in that God sends out His word for the sake of righteousness so that His "new name" will take care of business. Then after writing this article, I found out that the hymn actually has a name, it's called "Carmen Christi." In other words, Paul puts non-Canonical words into a "Canonical" book which makes it non-Canonical. Since we are allowed to be creative now and as the Goblin King would say from the Lord of the Rings, "which makes it nothing, really." How can we take out great Books like Enoch, and Ezra but tolerate poems and hymns.

The point that I'm trying to make is that much of our interpretation of the Bible is coming from Apostle Paul or "Paulism." Apostles back then thought that Jesus literally was the Hebrew Messiah that was to come. So, they were not only trying to convince the Jews, but they were also trying to convince themselves. Even John the Baptist didn't make up his mind until Jesus was resurrected. The explanation is so obvious and simple, yet the human condition appears to be stubborn above greed. We won't change our perspective because we don't want to be wrong. Wrong with who though, wrong with God or wrong with each other's opinions of each other.

Relying on each other's opinions instead of what God thinks is what keeps getting us into trouble. What do we know; history repeats itself; this is a fact. I found something very interesting online and it gave me a sided by side with what Paul said vs. what Jesus said and one of them were in regard to these two scriptures.

Paul said 1 Corinthians 10:33, " just as I try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own advantage but that of many, so that they may be saved."

Jesus said in Luke 16:15, "So he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts, for what is prized by humans is an abomination in the sight of God."

The link that I got this from is voicesofjesus.org. At least it is a fact for us humans who don't follow the path of God because if we did, history would not repeat itself. Therefore, we are not doing something correctly. It's a grind. There are so many verses out there that are either contradictory or imply something that isn't true, and it only takes one single verse to convince everyone of what the truth is. That is why I say that it is a grind, because we have to examine each and every aspect or part of the Scripture that does not align with the overall message.

We have been actually accomplishing this, but I expect you all to strongly evaluate what I say. For the most part, most of what I say has to be examined in depth anyway, because I don't claim to be a theologian or to be a decent writer. I think right now I'm at John 20:31 and you saw how I used him to mention potential confusion. So that is where I'm at right now. In fact, let’s take a look at that right now while we are here John 20:31,

"But these are written so that you may continue to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name."

So, we begin with something that seems lock tight and impossible to argue, such as this verse. The first thing that I do is not argue against what is correct. Jesus is a Messiah, alright Messiah means anointed one and we're all pretty sure that Jesus was anointed so check that is correct. Jesus is the Son of God, this is also true so check. Through believing you may have life in his name; this is also true. So, if everything is true then what is the problem? This is the NRSVUE translation so typically it uses the word Christ instead of Messiah, therefore John is explicitly saying that Jesus is not only anointed, the Christ, but that He is the expected Hebrew Messiah.

This means that John the Baptist was not sure what type of Messiah Jesus was until near the end of his book. This also means that John is also pushing the narrative that Jesus is the Last Messiah that we will EVER see. Now that we know that John is trying to make this point, we can examine the rest of the verse in that it also says that Jesus is the Son of God which is actually implying that Jesus is the only Son of God. So, any other verse, such as Psalm 2, that mentions a Son of God will now be applied to mean Jesus. Now the last part. In many parts of the Bible "the name" or the "new name" or "my name" is mentioned by God Himself even though Jesus did use "My name" for Himself, what I have found out is that what God means by His new name, is actually to mean Son or Son of God.

So instead of John saying that those who believe in the name of Jesus will be saved, he is saying that if you believe in "his name" which is implying again that Jesus is the only one who is being referred to when God mentions the name or the Son. Now that you have the context, look at what Jesus Himself says in Revelation 3:12,

"If you conquer, I will make you a pillar in the temple of my God; you will never go out of it. I will write on you the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem that comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name."

So you see that John is trying to make it unique to Jesus, but Jesus Himself is giving His name to someone else and what is even more crazy here is that it says that He will give this person the name of God! Remember the G-d that the Hebrews like to use to represent the Messiah and that there are some passages that refer to this Messiah as the God who does not like to use his Powers but who prefers to be like a mortal. Well alright, that part is debatable, but you get the point. We just took a verse that appeared to be impossible to contest and with context, were able to put a new perspective on it and also give us some education as to how the Apostles thought.

This isn't meant to be some kind of Christology marketing ploy to sell you something and then to educate you on how to sell the product, no I'm making a point here that there was a type of "marketing" going on in regard to some of the Apostles, some more than others, and it may or may not be intentional. When we do notice these potential errors, they open our eyes little by little until we start to see other issues. For me, as I've been attempting to unravel some of this and going way off into theological territory, I'm beginning to discover that I have a very hard time reading the Scriptures the way that I used to before I was critically analyzing them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ephesians 2

Ephesians 2:6 has been given to us to "prove" that Jesus is the one and only Messiah. Here it goes Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV),

"and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,"

Bengel's Gnomon Notes: "He does not say, on the right hand. To Christ this is left as His own peculiar pre-eminence [perogative]. Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ , in Christ Jesus ) In this sublime discourse, especially, Paul calls Him Christ Jesus; oftener on other occasions, Jesus Christ.

Robertson's Word Pictures, "In Christ Jesus (εν Χριστω Ιησου). All the preceding turns on this phrase. See Colossians 3:1 for the word συνηγειρεν."

Contending with Faith, "in heavenly places: (See notes on 1:3.) in Christ Jesus: Notice where the emphasis is placed, time and time again: all spiritual blessings are found "in Christ" 1:3)."

It is said that whoever it was who wrote Ephesians, used Colossians as a baseline, so Ephesians and Colossians are very much similar to each other, but there are a few who debate whether or not it was written by Paul. We can compare scripture to see if anything looks out of place. Some theologeans are saying that either Ephesians 2:6 does not fit, was tampered with, or at the very least, the ending should say "in Christ" instead of "in Christ Jesus." Colossians 3:1,

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God."

That sounds very much like Ephesians 2:6, because it's implied that if we are in Jesus, then we would be at the right hand of God as well. But notice that in Colossians 3:1, it does not have the word Jesus in it. Let’s compare another verse Ephesians 2:7,

"that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus."

Then in Colossians 2:2,

"that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ."

Those two verses sound alike also, but again without the word Jesus in it. It is speaking of the Christ/Messiah being with the Father, and not in Jesus as said in Ephesians 2:6, but we can only sit next to the Father through Jesus Christ because He is the door. You can see that with just a very tiny bit of tweaking of the meaning, it kind of says the same thing, but alters the entire plan of God. The other thing that I noticed between the two Books is that in Ephesians, the author is speaking of the mystery as being that grace was given to the Gentiles, but Jesus had already told the Apostles to preach to the Gentiles, they already had the grace. Where in Colossians the mystery is still speaking of something that is unknown, or if it was known, such as to Apostle Paul, it was locked up. They could not speak directly to it, they were "in chains."Colossians 4:3,

"meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery, of the Messiah/Christ, for which I am also in chains."

We can also take an example straight from Ephesians itself such as in verse 6:20,

"for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."

Then in verse 21 it states,

"..., Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;"

Hence, further stating that all things have not been made known yet. These verses from Ephesians 1 and 2 don't sound like the same person in the later Scriptures. Notice that it says that he is "in chains," he can't speak about it, but in Ephesians 2 and 3 the mystery has been completely solved by knowledge. Ephesians 3:6 states,

"that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Messiah/Christ through the gospel,"

Even though this is true, it's out of place in the context of Ephesians 2:6.

If we tie Ephesians 2:6 and 3:6 together, then we get the presumed mystery that was not supposed to be revealed but that was revealed that we will be in the fellowship of the Messiah, but in Ephesians 2:6, the Messiah is being stated as being in Jesus. If we were to stay true with the remainder of the Scripture that comes after these two verses, the mystery was not revealed yet as stated in Colossians 4:3, and Ephesians 6:20, and for the previous and remaining Scriptures, the mystery is going to actually be Us being in the Union with the Messiah who is representing Us and Jesus being that doorway, Mediator, catalyst for this to occur. The mystery is the glory of God in and through the success of a human being born of a fleshly mother and father, being given the grace by the Father to be the first to enter the Heavenly Places.

The mystery isn't a free ticket to heaven because of automatic grace. Faith was the free gift from God by which we have the opportunity to be saved by grace. We have to show our Faith, and then that is what opens the door for us to sit in heavenly places with the King Messiah (Union of us all). BTW, doesn't "heavenly places" sound a little bit like "New Earth," or perhaps the prepping place for it? We have to be received and acknowledged by either Jesus or the Father to "cash in" our grace ticket. The Messiah was saved by grace through His actions, think about it. If the firstborn has to do that, don't we? Be logical, we can't ignore what the entire Bible is leading us to, and then abandoning that to, these two chapters in Ephesians. For which, I have already provided evidence in regard with them being tampered with. Such as that I produced with Ephesians 2:20, Ephesians 3:1 and Ephesians 3:9 that critical words were added to the text per the Codex Sinaiticus, and the notes of the theologians as stated above confirm suspicion. All of that, just with the NKJV of the Bible, not including what is stated in the Books of Ezra, Enoch, or the Dead Sea Scrolls.

In these cases, Christ also meaning the "Anointed One," or the King Messiah. I have already proven earlier that a scribe had tampered with the texts as was such in the case of Ephesians 2:20. This verse is only 14 versus away from that one. A narrative in these two chapters was being pushed that the mystery was revealed. Again, here is Ephesians 2:20 in Codex Sinaiticus,

"θυ εποικοδομη θεντεϲ επι τω θε μελιω των απο ϲτολων και προφη των οντοϲ ακρο γωνιαιου του χυ."

The last two letters of "XU" means Christ, Messiah, or "Anointed One. The word Jesus is not in there, it was inserted. In regard to Ephesians 2:6, if you look at the Codex Sinaiticus, it's noted that the scribe "paused" and wrote a sub note at the bottom of the page, as if pondering it, OR the Codex mentions Scribes ABCD with scribe 'D' being the last notation in that it could have been injected by another scribe."

As a follow up to not leave anyone hanging as to what this means, I will add some context. So, the person who is being mentioned in Ephesians 1, is the "Cornerstone", a.k.a., King Messiah. Let’s begin with Ephesians 1:6,

"to the praise of the glory of His (God) grace, by which He (God) made us accepted in the Beloved" (Sun of Righteousness). Next, we move to Ephesians 1:9, "having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself."

What this is saying is that the Son of Man has the ability to extend the grace given to Him to others with acts of unselfishness.

What is fascinating and cool about it, is that it almost sounds like a phenomenon the way that God is saying this. "The mystery of His will," as in that it is a pleasant surprise even to the Godhead, the mystery. If you examine even closer, you will see "which He purposed in Himself. Now if you go back to Ephesians 1:5, you see the phrase, ever so cleverly hidden by the author where it says, "to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will." This should have read "having predestined us to adoption as sons of God through Jesus Christ, to Himself, according to the good pleasures of His will." So there is the first half of the mystery and the second half being the Union of Us all. Now jump ahead to Ephesians 1:15,

"Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints," We can clearly see here that when Paul began writing this Epistle that he was on track because we can see that he is speaking of a (person)'s love for Jesus Christ.

And again in verse 1:17,

"that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him."

Also in Ephesians 1:22,

"And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church."

Notice the author's unusual bias here, he does not point to the scripture where this is about, like he would if He were referencing Jesus, but clearly this is a reference to Psalm 110:1. Which is also referenced by Hebrews 1:13-14,

"But to which of the angels has He ever said: 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool?' Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?"

With this context, we can see that Paul is actually speaking of several different things at once here, but one of the things that he is speaking of is a single individual who will be the cornerstone (Messiah). When the "Christ / Messiah" is being spoken of here, it's in the context of the "Union" of the Messiah. Part of the union is the people, us.

Just as Jesus had to die for our sins and become both the catalyst and mediator, this King Messiah is representing the Union of all of us. This clearly isn't a person who can be ignored, because he is serving as the "Conduit" for our salvation. He is called a Redeemer. There are many people who can't see this person being the one mentioned in Isaiah, because we didn't physically see this person die or be hung on a cross, but if you look at Ephesians 1:20,

"which He worked in Christ/Messiah when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places."

Remember that Christ and Messiah mean exactly the same thing. At this point in time, your probably saying what the h..., how can one of us be at the right hand of God? Where this person is at is in the heavenly place. This person can't see God yet, but He's in His heavenly place.

Look back at Ephesians 1:3,

"Blessed be the God and Father of our LORD Jesus Christ who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in the Messiah/Christ."

The spiritual blessings are released through the Promise that was released when Jesus died for our sins and brought in the new covenant. The "heavenly places" is the safe place that we are at when we enter a covenant with God through our Faith with Him, not as a people, but as the individuals that we are to Him. When the Messiah died for our sins, he didn't die like Jesus died, He died a spiritual death and was risen again with a new Spirit. That is why we have not seen Him yet. When He was risen again, He is in the "heavenly place" with God and would still be on earth but receiving a massive dose of the Holy Ghost as noted in Ephesians 1:13,

"In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,"

We can see several things here. The Holy Spirit of promise is the spiritual blessing that was given to the Son of Man upon His receiving of the gift of grace. Since He is the first, He becomes the cornerstone and represents the Union of the Messiah.

That union is generally speaking of us, because Jesus Christ, although born a man, is of the Godhead. So, what does this change? There are two major things that change. Do you want the good news or the bad news first? The bad news is that we do have to try and put some amps to the volts, we need to work on our building of our characters to be the type of people who are willing to do the work for our Faith. If we truly had faith, we would not have to ask the question do I have to do anything, because by faith, the Holy Spirit would provide the zeal for which we would feel compelled to do something. What is that something? I don't know, how about actually observing the Sabbath and spending the whole day just with God. Don't do anything to cause other people to work on the holy day such as going out to eat or going grocery shopping. Just show God that you Love Him. Here is the good news by us having two Messiahs, first we get the gifts of the promise, we are restored to our potential of being like we were in the beginning, and best of all, we can receive approval from, Jesus Christ, to be Daughters/Sons of God.

We don't get a free ride as the Jesuit Christians want to tell you, but the good news is that if little faith can move a mountain, then what you’re using to move it, will have unlimited potential. Moving on with Ephesians 2:5,

"even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),"

We could also say here that we have been made alive together through or by the Union of the Messiah. After the first of us (cornerstone) had received grace, now we are all bonded through Him to receive the same grace by following in His footsteps. The same thing can be said of following in Jesus's footsteps if Ye be that perfect.

Finally we get back to Ephesians 2:6, "and raised us up together" in the Union of the Messiah, "and made us sit together in heavenly places," the place that we all sit after receiving the promise of the Holy Spirit through Faith. As I heard on of the theologians say, we need to be the root and the fruit. The root is faith, and the fruit is what we do with that faith that will get us to sit in heavenly places with the Almighty. For me, this is a short explanation of God's glory. It's noted in Matthew 7:12, "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." This also sounds a little bit like the "foundation" of what God is building. It appears to be the self-reciprocating acts of goodwill. As also mentioned in Ephesians 2:7, "that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in the Christ Jesus."

As Jesus Christ was the example to us, now this Messiah will mark the first example of this happening amongst us. Now remember that He was not perfect, but received grace from God to become this example, but if it weren't for His determination (tribulations), he would not have got there. The two doors are Jesus Christ, and Faith, but we have to put action to that Faith. The being able to be saved by grace is the free gift, but being saved isn't necessarily free, determined by our Father. We still need to put action to our faith. I think of it like this, action is the test of our faith. If I didn't have a desire to say do this website or any other project or observe the Sabbath, if I had no desire or zeal to do that, then that would be an excellent time for me to take a self-reflection or inventory of my Faith.

So, you see, all God wants is proof of the Faith, and You will prove that by desiring to put action to it. That is how you know that you have faith. We do things sometimes on "autopilot" as we may provide our testimony or words of encouragement or share the Scripture with someone, but what are our real motives for doing that? You might question me right now, what is my motive for doing this? I don't want to get my but kicked by the Holy Ghost, because I know that if I slack, I'll regret it. Besides it's healthy to stay busy, and I'm starting to get used to being able to interpret the Scripture. I still have a lot to learn, and ironically my reading skills are not the best, so you know that I'm getting something to be able to interpret the Scriptures. I don't think that I have time to learn Ancient Greek, but I'll do what I have to do to keep wisdom moving forward.

In conclusion, we really only need to look at other scriptures in the bible to see that something is wrong with Ephesians 2: such as Matthew 7:13-14, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." If we can't agree that there are serious structural issues with Ephesians 2, we should at least clarify what the Holy Spirit was showing me how to read Ephesians 2:6-9. As we can see that the word Christ is before Jesus, it appears to be emphasizing the Messiah part above Jesus. In other words, it’s kind of stating that we should regard "in Christ Jesus" as being in the Union of the Messiah.

Also, Verse 6 and 7 should be referring to a future point in time and not that that is where we are at right now. It means that once the Union is completed, then we will be sitting in heavenly places with the Messiah/Christ. It kind of infers that in verse 7 where it says, "in the ages to come." In verse 8 it is just stating that the free gift is the ability to be saved by faith and then if we received enough grace then we would be saved. When it is stating "that not of yourselves," it means that the gift came from God the Father and not because of what we did. We must still work to receive grace, and then we will be saved, but grace is still grace, even if we contributed to it.

Then in verse 9 where it states, "not of your works, should anyone boast," simply means that, the reason that we can't be saved by of our own works, is because then there would be those who boast, therefore only by God's grace we are saved, even though we should work for it. If we are going to keep these verses intact, then at the very least, we should be looking at this from that perspective. This also aligns more with what the rest of the bible is saying. We can look at the third part of the Promise is the grace received from our works. If we do those works in Faith, then we would not boast of doing them, thereby receiving the third part of the Promise from God as grace.

Who wrote the Book of Titus is disputed but still mostly attributed to Apostle Paul's work, and I hope that it is true. We can match that it is in alignment with Titus 3:5,

"not because of any righteous deeds we had done but because of his mercy, he saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the holy Spirit"

But then we can compare that to two other verses where the author is still saying that works are relevant in Titus 1:16, "They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work." and Titus 3:8, "This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.". What these two seemingly contradictions are showing us is that we should be looking at some of Paul's verses as a single layer of what should contain two or three other layers of meaning, there are layers of things not being said while he is trying to make a single point.

We could then tie this same logic back to Ephesians 2 and 3. Oddly, part of this concept came from Javascript programing, and I'm beginning to think that whoever coined the term "promise" in Javascript would have been a Christian. In Javascript, there is the data POST of information, then it does something, and it must return to its point of origin as a "promise," cool huh? We are sending a message to God that we Love Him, and if our love is pure, we will get the third part of the promise as grace.

Many Isles

There are many Isles amidst the sea, but none to sail from paltry.

Who’s is better or whose is worse, are the commands of their captains to alter stern.

With will of waves crashing over the sounds, look to the translucent sea.

Where ripple and reflections, are the colors of pearl and ivory.

Send your message in a bottle to the Almighty, encapsulated in love and hope.

Where hardened waves of blue and soft sea, come together into transcending unity.

There isn't any person, institution, government, or Church between you and Him. Trade your mirror for a door, just knock and say, "Here I AM."

___________________________________________________________________________

Who is the Son of David?

The first thing to do here is to attempt the impossible. There seems to be some assumptions about who the Bible is referring to as the Son of David or to the Throne of David. There are more than a few places in the Bible that make this a bit confusing specifically in regard to Luke 1:32.

”He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David.”

Let’s begin with the first problem in regard to the transitions, or the lack there of. The explanations of the scenes of Jesus being born, to what is said right after that event, are either happening too quickly or not at all. It feels like it is being rushed or “pushed,” although Matthew does not appear to do this as much as Luke does.

Matthew 1:21-23, ”And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

As “JESUS” is in all caps to emphasize the first name given, let’s remember that this name was actually a title that means “The Lord our Savior.” This is stated very quickly but efficiently of the who and why. Now comparing this with Luke 1:31,

”And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.”

We get similar information that there will be a Son and His name will be Jesus, but we’re missing the reason why He was born. We don’t get this information until the next verse, and it is referring to something completely different than what is mentioned in Matthew 1:21-23.

Luke states in 1:32, ”He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.”

Luke is moving right past the reasons that Matthew gave for Jesus’s birth, to stating what His position of authority will be. I have read that some of the Apostles were trying to interject this position of authority intentionally into the Scripture to “prove” to the Jewish Priests that Jesus was the expected Messiah. To attempt to “legitimize” Jesus’s coming by stating that he was the expected Messiah, even though that had no impact on the Priests attitude at all and that Jesus was already ascended by the time these Epistles were written.

Also, in regard to both Luke and Matthew using passages from Isaiah to "prove" that Jesus was the expected Messiah or the son of David, the King, we can also reference another set of verses to show that this was not meant to be a direct relation to Jesus as that person. At least if it were meant that way, they miscalculated the Holy Spirit leading them to state this in Matthew 25:31-40,

"When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’"

By Luke stating that this was the expected Messiah that they were waiting for, Luke was still using Scripture that was relevant to the truth, thereby saving the Scripture from being inaccurate, but still interestingly confusing. Matthew and Luke were speaking of the Messiah indirectly which was probably not their intention, but they were trying to prove the significance of Jesus’s birth from prophecy to the Hebrew Priests, to what the priests wanted to hear. Matthew attempts to give us the information that we need by stating, 1:22,

”So all of this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel’, which is translated, ‘God with us’.” Look at the wording very carefully here.

Matthew states that “it was done” (Jesus’s birth) so that it “might be fulfilled” (yet to be fulfilled). In other words what was to be fulfilled didn’t happen yet with Jesus’s birth. Jesus can’t be, the trigger for the event, and be the event. He didn’t fulfill the prophecy by just being born, that was the necessary component for what was to happen next for the prophecy to be fulfilled.

Matthew 5:17-18, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

Matthew then states what is being fulfilled by quoting Isaiah 7:14 from Matthew 1:23, ”’Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,’ which is translated ‘God with us’.”

So, Matthew didn’t really mess up, he stated the purpose and pointed to one of verses where it was referring to the Promised Messiah, because remember that Jesus had to be born in the flesh before what was prophesized in Isaiah could happen. Where it begins to get messy is in regard to the verse in Luke 1:32-33,

”He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

Isaiah 9:6-7, ”For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

In the loosest of terms of paraphrasing of Isaiah 9:6-7, and in an extremely technical way, Luke is giving the reason for Jesus’s birth, but the implication is that Jesus is the expected Messiah. Hence to forego all other reasons for Jesus’s birth and go straight to Jesus’s authority. The common factors are that a Child is born, He will be Great, He will be on the throne of David, and to His governance there shall be no end. What is missing in Lukes verses is what Jesus’s purposes are besides His given authority. His authority isn’t really a purpose, it’s a necessity or a result of Him being the Son of God. Matthew stated that Jesus’s primary purpose was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, but clearly Luke doesn’t mention this.

By him not mentioning that, he fails in regard to the necessary transition piece, that would be stating the primary reasons that Jesus was conceived. Let’s pretend for a second that we don’t know anything, and we were reading these passages for the first time. Would we not want to know the reason that Jesus was born, first? Then the very first piece of information that was given to us for a reason was that so that Jesus would be sitting on the throne of David. Would we not scratch our heads on that? If the reason was to fulfill a prophecy that was not yet fulfilled, then what prophecy was not yet fulfilled? Prophecies don’t fulfill themselves for the sake of fulfilling the prophecy and not for its own sake of fulfilling it.

Also, look at John 17:12, "While I was with them, I protected them by the authority that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destined for destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled."

Within the Book of John we get a reason for Jesus to come into this world. Why didn't either Matthew or Luke mention this? All we have to do to find the answer is look at the prophecies that have not been fulfilled

Matthew 5:17-18, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

The answer is right in front of us, we just have to be willing to look at it. Did the Apostles know of the mystery when they wrote these Epistles, apparently not. If they thought that Armageddon was going to happen in their time, how could they know that civilization would go on for over 2000 more years. Better yet, if they thought that Jesus was the Expected Messiah, then why would the world continue for 2000 years in their eyes, or better yet, if Jesus was the Expected Messiah, why did it continue for another 2000+ years.

Isaiah was written for the end times, not the period of time that they were in. Thus, when Luke was pointing to the verses in Isaiah, he was not pointing to the fulfillment, he was pointing to a component of that fulfillment. Yet they were not completely wrong for pointing to that component, because Jesus was and is necessary to carrying out what will eventually transpire or be fulfilled by the prophets. The problem isn’t in what they said, it’s in what they implied.

Nevertheless, Isaiah was quoted twice as one of the reasons for Jesus’s conception, but one of those reasons was in regard to another birth that was yet to come. Hence, the Holy Spirit allowing this to be spoken. What is also interesting is that the Spiritual birth possibly happened at the same time that Jesus was born, because of what it is stated in Luke 1:80,

”So the child grew and became strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his manifestation to Israel.”

This is the New Testament prophesizing of a future event to come! Look at what else is very interesting there. The child was in the deserts. How many things have happened in the deserts?

We might be able to more easily understand why the transition in Luke 1:31-33 was non-existent or hasty, because it didn’t match the complete reality of what was happening. This could also be “chalked” up into another situation of where the Bible is illustrating its use of duality when speaking of both Messiahs and how they may at times appear to be inseparable, or that there is this 2000-year tag-team relationship between them. The duality of the two Messiahs can also be seen in Isaiah as it is actually prophesizing that there will be two Sons given to Isaiah. Hence, we can use this as further evidence to collaborate the facts that it was prophesized that there would be two Great ones born.

This makes sense that they were not physically born at the same time, because the other had to appear at a future point of time, tag-team. This also explains why both Matthew and Luke would be using Isaiah as the illustration to show the prophecy of the Messiah’s births. There have been so many attempts and self-proof in regard to Mary being in the line of David to prove that there is only one Messiah. Then this “evidence” is used to further prove these two passages that Jesus has to be the one who will sit on the throne of David, but the reality is that the only evidence that there is of Mary’s lineage is with her cousin Elizabeth who is actually a Levite which gives much more evidence that Mary is actually from the tribe of Levi which would explain Jesus being of the tribe of Aaron.

The other evidence is that Mary's Father and Mother, Joachim and Anne, were both Levites as noted in Luke 3:23 where Joachim is also known as Heli or Eli and his father Matthat, whose is a son of Levi (hint). The King Messiah will also be from the tribe of Judah as explained in Hebrews 7:14. The Jesuit Christians assume that this can only be Jesus, but did anyone, anyone, notice that this verse is surrounded by the word Melchizedek? This part of the Bible is clearly speaking of the Sun of Righteousness.

The Tribe of Manasseh holds the area of Galilee and the town of Nazareth. Manasseh inherited a tribe for this region and remains the firstborn despite not receiving the firstborn blessings from Jacob. When the Bible states that someone is say Nazarene, it's stating that they are born there. Jesus was not born in Nazareth, He was born in Bethlehem, hence he can't be Nazarene except that He grew up there (although that might seem culturally logical, that is by these times not by biblical standards). Also, Manasseh was the son of Joseph who received the blessings of Jacob to be like Jacob's sons. Manasseh then is the son of Joseph who is Nazarene. Therefore, in John 1:45 where it says,

"Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the Law and also the Prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.”"

What is most notable here is that Philip and Nathanael could be mistaken that this is the person who they think Jesus is. It fits in line with others attempting to recognizing Jesus as the Davidic Messiah, but then Jesus is kind of giving a non-response of "if you say so," but this Scripture is pulled from Isaiah 9:1-2,

"But there will be no gloom for those who were in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness— on them light has shined."

This can only be tied to the Messiah because of what Nazareth means which is "to watch" or "branch" as in the Branch of Jesse. Look at how this goes, Jesus whose parents were from Nazareth brings Jesus to Bethlehem to be born, but the other Son of God who is Spiritually born, spiritually inherits the lands of Manasseh (Galilee), but is spiritually born in Bethlehem. I'm really not sure what point this is making, but it is so interesting that I have to write it down. This must lead to something interesting. Even though the Davidic Messiah is from Judah, he isn't physically born there. If he could be either a Jew or a Gentile, then why would he need be.

Judah the son of Jacob is actually the only one who literally inherits the land of Judah, but the Messiah is to be a King for all lands. It only says that he is born in Bethlehem. David is the son of Jesse so Jesse's branch would be equitable to the son of David who would bring the northern and southern tribes back together again. What we have is a Nazarene who was born in Bethlehem who brings back the twelve tribes together and who reigns as a King. Jesse is from Bethlehem, so a branch from Jesse would be the connection of the northern tribes to the southern tribes.

That was tougher than I thought, and I think that I will come back to this to make it more user friendly to read, but to summarize this; Jesus isn't the prophecy, He is staging it to happen. Jacob receives two Kingdoms, the northern and the southern, but his sons, adopted by Isaac, only receive lands to the north. After some quarreling and fighting between the two sons of Ephraim and Manasseh, King David brings the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah together as one nation. Messiah ben Manasseh or ben David is reunited with the Kingdom of Judah through the Spiritual birth of the Branch of Jesse. Hence, we have a second reunification happening between the periods of the past and present who are being represented as the priests of Ephraim, the power of Manasseh, and the Branch of Jesse to include Judah who are also including the Gentiles.

It’s extremely difficult to say that the Apostles were biased, but there are other things that just don’t make sense either. What was the point in Jesus being birthed by a virgin if Jesus’s father wasn’t God, or how can Jesus have to fathers? How can Jesus have a lineage tied to David if Joseph didn’t help to conceive? Why are there two different lineages to prove Jesus’s lineage and neither one proves that He is the son of David? Is Jesus talking about himself as the Son of Man in the third person? Can Jesus have two virgin births, Mary and the Prophetess? We could go on, and we will in other articles.

His name is Immanuel, proof 180˚

For this discussion, we will tackle the issue of whether we have one or two Messiahs (duality), and how that can affect our reading of the Scripture. We are going to use the NKJV as the current reference, and the list for why Jesus is the one and only Messiah begins with this list:

• 1. Jesus’s name is Immanuel
• 2. Jesus was born in Bethlehem
• 3. Betrayed (30 pieces of silver)
• 4. Jesus was rejected by His people
• 5. Born to a virgin
• 6. Suffered for humanity
• 7. Son of God

Before dealing with each one of these, we must establish a baseline for who we are comparing Jesus with. Since we know that Jesus is the Son of God, Son of Man glorified, there is really only one other person to compare Him with, and that would be another Son of God. So, if we are going to go by the two Messiah philosophy, then we will be comparing Jesus with the other coming Son of Man who is also known as a Messiah. Since many of you may not be used to hearing this other person being called Immanuel or “The Messiah” yet, I will temporarily defer to calling Him the One. This in itself is odd that we have eliminated all other words to resemble another One that there are no other words left to describe Him, but don’t you worry by the end of this discussion, He will have His name back.

Since we are not eliminating one or the other in concern, we are establishing this comparison as a “Duality.” Therefore, any points that could be said of both of them such as: being the Son of God, performing miracles, being born of a virgin (both Messiahs were to be born of a virgin), being rejected by His people, or it may be that discussing the suffering for His people is not applicable for comparison either, since both Messiahs would have had to sacrifice themselves to the cause. Else we make this a mono discussion, that since there was a sacrifice for the people already, that there is only one Messiah.

That would not be a very interesting discussion, and it would eliminate about half of the Bible that needs mentioning. The suffering or being bruised may be partially covered, but we will not spend much time with that. In that how the One is birthed is different in the way that Jesus was born, so we will have to create a separate discussion for that comparison. By establishing a comparison based on duality and a non mono environment, we have just eliminated two thirds of our list of contention. We spend too much time arguing about the argument. For the sake of not arguing, we have just narrowed our list to the following three items from countless others that could have been referring to both of them.

• 1. Jesus’s name is Immanuel
• 2. Jesus was born in Bethlehem
• 3. Betrayed (30 pieces of silver)

Looking at a list that was available online for the reasons that Jesus is the one and only Messiah, I can see in a few cases where they were “self-proving” their argument. One of the things listed is that Jesus was proceeded by a Prophet. Either Messiah would have been proceeded by a prophet. Jesus is greater than a King David. Well that could also be said for either one of them as well, a Son of God would be greater than King David. Jesus has the Scepter of Jacob. We will table that one for now, but if you look in Revelation 2-3, it notes that a human being receives a rod of iron, it could be either one, but the point here is that these are self-proofs that only work in a mono Messiah situation. So, let’s begin with the above-mentioned Matthew 1:21-23,

”And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,’ which is translated, ‘God with us.’”

If we are going to examine this passage without bias, we need to look at everything. The first thing that I notice is that it does not specifically state that Jesus is Immanuel. The second point is that it is deferring to another part of the Bible for comparison which also does not directly state that that section of scripture is referring to Jesus. Now before you all go, but…, but… but…, hold on a second, or a minute. Without stating any absolute proofs yet, lets add one point of context to this. The Bible has precedence’s, meaning that some things have to happen before other things can happen. Jesus is a catalyst for such things. One of the things that Jesus accomplished by dying for our sins was so that we could be “born again.” At this point in time, there is only one Savior on earth and that is freshly born Jesus.

Jesus had to die so that any other potential Son of God or Son of Man glorified could exist. Jesus set that precedence. Matthew 5:17-18, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." The other point of context here is that the Bible is a very long Plan. It’s not just an accumulation of things that happen in this scripture or that scripture, but it is to fulfill the overall purpose of the Plan. Remember that the Bible likes to display things such as parables, especially when it comes to the “mystery” that is hidden. So, we have to look very carefully at what we are reading here. Notice what it says in verse 22 just before it mentions the related verse to Isaiah 7:14, ”So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord…”

As it is stating in Isaiah 7:14, that there was going to be a virgin birth. It does not state which Messiah this was a birth for. So, on the Jesuit Christian side, it is an assumption that it is Jesus based on the “self-proof” of Jesus being the only Messiah that we have yet seen, but the truth remains that the door is still open to it referring to Messiah because in the context that Jesus had to die before the birth of a new Savior could happen. Another point of context is this. For what point in time was the prophecy for? Was it for the time that Jesus was born in or is it for a time that is yet to happen? Ask almost any Jewish Jew, and they will tell you that their Savior has not appeared yet.

We are basing all of this on an assumption that has a 50% chance of being wrong! I don’t gamble or go to the Casino, but I’ll take them odds over the odds that we are staking that Jesus is the one and only Messiah. I have also heard an interesting point mentioned in regard to this question. If Jesus is Immanuel, then why didn’t the Bible just call him Immanuel instead of Jesus. Jesus was not his given name; He was actually first identified as the Savior. You see as in verse 23, ”…which is translated, ‘God with us.’” That isn’t necessarily saying that Jesus is Immanuel because now there is a God with us, it’s stating that because of the birth of Jesus, that we all have the ability to have God in us or to become Sons of God.

Don’t make the same mistake that the Jews made when Jesus came into His own. They said that he was demon possessed, because He declared Himself to be the Son of God. We are kind of doing the same thing. We’re saying how dare you to say that one of us could be a Son of God! But that is the very reason that Jesus died for our sins, so that we could become manifested to God and become children of Him. I have already wrote something in regard to us having to go through a test that is mentioned in Revelation 2-3, and then it references Psalm 2:9 in the same context as Psalm 2:7, ”I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You…” and Psalm 2:12, ”Kiss the Son, lest He be angry…” So you see that there is a very wide birth here for it to be either Messiah, and thus we should not assume that it is either one or the other.

I think that the other part of the problem here may be fear. Were afraid to step outside of the boundaries of saying that there is another who may resemble our Lord Jesus Christ, but what if the opposite is true. Look what it says in verse 12, “Kiss the Son, lest He be angry…” I would argue that if someone were sitting on the fence in regard to loyalty. It would be more dangerous to remain on the fence of there being only one Messiah, but that it is God’s strong desire that we believe on both of His Sons. We don’t have to pray to the One or to even worry about saying bad things about Him, but I’d bet that it would not hurt at all to give him a thumbs up, a gold star, or how about a Kiss!

Look at it this way. Since Jesus died for us to become more, He would not be angry for giving our Father's firstborn Son a high five. In fact, I would even argue that as in how we tend to think that Jesus did everything for us, then why would He not do everything for His Brother, granted that we are also His brothers and sisters. Even though, we have enough to raise the point of contention just with what was spoken here, there is something else.

The only other cross reference to the person called Immanuel in in Isaiah 8:8, but for this we need to begin at Isaiah 8:1 and that is well within the context of the “fulfillment” that is spoken of in Matthew 1:23. Let’s first add that if there are two Messiahs and they share a duality among them, that this means that their purposes or missions would also be tied together. We as mere mortals don’t see it, because it is in God’s plan that spans many millenniums, but even in math sense, it makes sense. Melchizedek was about 4000 years ago, Jesus was 2000 years ago, oops, sound like the end times to me! And we could be seeing the One like Melchizedek very soon. Isaiah 8:1 says,

”Moreover the LORD said to me, “Take a large scroll, and write on it with a man’s pen concerning Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz. And I will take for Myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.”

Wow and there is the name of my website, I didn’t even do that on purpose. So, as we said that we were going to briefly mention talking about the type of virgin births to clarify a difference. We know how Jesus was born. He was fleshly born from His mother Mary and God. Poor Joseph had nothing to do with it. It was a straight up conception. God told Mary that she would have a Son, and “hoops, there it is,” a Son. On the other hand, where it comes to the prophetic birth and virgin birth of the other Messiah, it involved a scroll, a prophetess, who knows where Isaiah went, and the prophetess conceived a son, small ‘s.’ So technically this son was born before Jesus was born, but he was born of the Spirit and not by flesh yet. If not to be believed then just look at verse 2 again, there was a faithful witness! The fleshly birth was to take place in the future. Where it is telling us how far into the future that this birth was going to take place is given in Isaiah 8:13-15 states,

The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. He will be as a sanctuary, but a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble; They shall fall and be broken, be snared and taken.

The name itself, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz means “Swift to the spoil, quick to the plunder,” which by itself does not sound like Jesus at all, but what it does sound like is a King Warrior, but in this case even better a High Priest King Warrior. Notice that right away the passage calls Him “The LORD of hosts, Him you shall hallow;” that we should dread and fear Him. The notation that He will be a sanctuary is implying that he will be like His own Church.

Revelation 3:12, ” He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.”

What is His new name? How about Immanuel, Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, Sun of Righteousness, or The Holy One. Alright, I think that we have ground that subject to a fine powder, then let’s move on to the next one. Maybe we even have our hands on the enemy’s neck now.

Point of contention number two is that it’s stated that because Jesus was born in Bethlehem that He is the only Messiah, remember we are arguing duality here not a mono Messiah situation. This point appears to be argued from the passage of Micah 5:2 which states,

”But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting.”

This is one of those subtle situations where our Almighty is going out of His way to not make things clear. Remember that the One is supposed to be a mystery. Ever wonder why Jesus had to be born in Bethlehem? You will also notice that Jesus does a lot of things that seem to be for the coming One as in preparation or as to fulfill prophecy? Very subtle indeed, but I think what is obvious here is that Jesus isn’t from Bethlehem, He was born there. Joseph and Mary took Him there to be born. It is implied that the person who is being spoken about in verse 2 is of the actual heritage of a person’s lineage being from Bethlehem in Judah. Which actually and ironically preclude Jesus from being this person.

This again is a sign of Jesus being the catalyst of what was to happen next, the setting of the tribes of Israel common, and Judah, the Jews and the Gentiles. The lineage of Ephraim also connects this Messiah with the metaphorical prophecies of the Book of Ruth. Don’t ask me how this works, but somehow the scroll that was written in Isaiah was for a person to be born, but nobody knows if the prophetess bore the child or another person. Technically nobody was born yet, it was of a Spirit that was to be born in the flesh. Micah 5:2 is actually paraphrasing what was said in Genesis 20-22, or there abouts.

It mentions that Rachel, Abraham’s wife gave birth to a child and then died. Jacob was renamed to be Israel. So, the scroll that was written for Isaiah and was given to a prophetess was about Rachel’s birth to a son who was/is to represent Israel, but during the end times, Israel is going to represent the entire planet earth and not just one land, because everything will be the Kingdom of God. Remember the test and Psalms 2, let’s look at verse 8-9,

” Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

Going all the way back to the mentioned Septer of Jacob, we can see it here as the “rod of iron” which is also mentioned by the test administered, By Jesus, in Revelation 2:27. See so you won’t hurt Jesus’s feelings by giving His Brother a High Five! Then going back to Micah 5:3 it states that ” Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; then the remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel.’ I see the “give them up, until” as saying that He was not present until, His Spirit was released into another mortal.

I know this is starting to sound like Mortal Kombat or something, but this is actually happening. The point here is that Jesus is the Catalyst for these things to happen and that His birth was in Bethlehem, but He was not from that tribe. The coming Son of Man will be glorified when He is born, but He will not be able to immediately know how to use His authority. He will be instructed enough by the Spirit and provoked enough by Elijah, to set up the banner for the Abomination of Desolation moment that happens prior to the 1300 years. I save the best for last. I never heard this one before.

Jesus is the Messiah because he was betrayed by 30 pieces of silver and the New Testament, and the Old Testament are tied together with the 30 pieces of silver. What I read was only 30 pieces of silver, but I added to it since that is most likely what they mean. Interestingly I was just reading something about this not too long ago. As we all know that Jesus was betrayed by Judas for 30 pieces of silver. I guess that the assumption that Zechariah 11:12-13 is of prophecy and since it happened then Jesus must be the Messiah. I guess that is what they are saying. This is one of those questions where it is asked, “what came first, the chicken or the egg.”

Many prophesies began with very peculiar rituals that didn’t appear to make sense. Like Ezekiel lying down in front of a model of the city that was going to besieged for 430 days. Making barley cakes. Digging a hole in the wall and walking through it without looking down at the ground. These were set for prophecies to set up something that was going to happen in the future, but we rarely, if ever, think that the prophecy could actually be going in the opposite direction. The 30 pieces of silver were a symbolic amount that would be given for what someone would pay for a spiritual gift. They would always pay too little because they would never know the true amount of what was given. Hence God says alright, if you don’t want what I have to offer, then pay me for my services as it is written in Zechariah 11:12-13,

”Then I said to them, “If it is agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So, they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—that princely price they set on me. So, I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD for the potter.”

So, when they decided what the price was for what God was offering them, it was 30 pieces of silver because that was the only part of the gift that they saw. They were paying for what they perceived to be given, not the total reward. Then also notice that those verses say to “throw the money to the potter.” Who is the potter. The potter is the one who holds all of the vessels of the LORD. Remember Psalm 2:9 and Revelation 2:26-27,

”And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’—as I also have received from My Father; ”

Remember this is Jesus’s words, He’s the one administering this test to the coming Son of Man. Here is the punch line Romans 9:15-16,

”But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel. For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

And look at that, we even got a little bit of the suffering Servant in there without even trying. I hope that you enjoyed my article. I did enjoy writing it. I won’t leave you without food for thought though.

”The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

Architect, Foundation, and Cornerstone

There appears to be some confusion in regard to some of the scriptures where they appear to overlap to such a point that we have all just given up and call Jesus the Foundation and the Cornerstone. If we very carefully examine the scripture, it is possible to separate the different definitions so that we don’t have to conglomerate them into one category. We’ll begin with 1 Corinthians 3:11-13,

”For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.”

Before we begin, what is the fire? It’s a test. Alright now begin, as we can see between these two verses, and some verses later, what is being said, is that Jesus is the one who is laying the foundation. It may ever so slightly imply that He is the foundation, but later we will see that He is just laying it and not the foundation itself. Another way of saying this is that Jesus is our Architect and Designer, He is the one who is holding the blueprints or the plans. It becomes a little clearer as we move up to Ephesians 2:20-22,

” having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.”

Here one can clearly see that it is stating that the foundation are the apostles and prophets. So, up until this point we can separate the One from who is laying the foundation from who or what is the foundation. Where some of the confusion is coming into the most play is in the definition of who is the First cornerstone. In the previous verse, it is stating that Jesus is the cornerstone, but we don’t necessarily want our architect to also be the resource for constructing the building. Before I move to show the issue with this verse, let me first diffuse the other assumptions that are verses that are theoretically pointing to Jesus to be this chief cornerstone. They are 1 Peter 2:5-7,

”you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,”

If we temporarily break ourselves of thinking of all of these connections as being a group of related proofs and examine each instance one at a time, we can retain our logic to a new conclusion. In just the examination of this verse, we can see that Jesus isn’t necessarily being stated as the cornerstone, He is being stated that sacrifices are being offered through Jesus Christ as “living stones.” This goes right back to Jesus being the Architect analogy. We can also see this in that Jesus is the Chief Mediator, mediator is another word for one who is coordinating, such as that of an architect or designer.

I believe that the other “delusion” here is that because the cornerstone is being called precious that we infer that it Must be speaking of Jesus, but in assuming that, we are right back where we started again. The circular argument that we never figure out. As stated earlier we must re-train our brains to not think of all of these things as a whole. The whole is the building that is being built on the foundation, with the stones and corner stones being coordinated by the Architect. So, if we can allow ourselves to not to have to think that this cornerstone is Jesus, then we can move on to the next point. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are pretty much sharing the same verse, so let’s just focus to our next point on Mathew 21:42-43,

Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? “Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.”

Here again, Jesus isn’t stating that He is the cornerstone. He is quoting scripture from Psalm 118:22. Unfortunately, I have to diverge my argument here to emphasize how this isn’t necessarily speaking of Him being the cornerstone. As said earlier, that it isn’t said, nor it is implied, that Jesus is stating that He is the cornerstone. Our minds keep wanting to put all of these “proofs” together to keep coming back to the conclusion that He is the cornerstone. Let’s examine this verse separately as well by examining the context of the entire verse of Psalm 118.

The first thing that I would do is to identify that if this chapter appears to be speaking of the same person through its entirety. Is it being consistent with the thought? We can conclude that yes, it is. It does not appear to go off on some other tangent to another subject, but it appears to be solely focused on one subject or person. If that be the case, then we must take the entire verse into context of the reference from Matthew 21. So, with that out of the way, we’re going to go through the verse to look for things that don’t appear to be speaking of Jesus. The first place that we come to is Psalm 118:5,

”I called on the LORD in distress; the LORD answered me and set me in a broad place.”

This is speaking of a person who is crying out for help who is distressed. Then after he calls out, the Lord answers him and sets him in a “broad” place. The broad place is represented as the wide gate that everyone is at. Another way of stating this is that God set him in a lukewarm place. It’s not the narrow gate, but a place where he has a chance to prove himself. We can see more of a clue in the very next verse where it says,

”The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Can we imagine Jesus stating or thinking either the words from verse five or verse six? Jesus calls the LORD, Father. Then it is stated, what could man do to me? If we are speaking of Jesus, they could put him up on a cross and stake nails through his hands. The person in this verse is expecting to remain alive in the flesh. The person here most likely has already endured their inflictions and feels that there isn’t anything else that men could do to him with the LORD on his side. We can see more in verse seven,

”The LORD is for me among those who help me; therefore, I shall see my desire on those who hate me.”

I probably don’t have to state the obvious, but I’m going to anyway. This in no way sounds like something that Jesus would say. It is speaking of vengeance with the help of the LORD and Jesus has stated that He did not come to judge but to educate. We could go on for other reference but to mitigate the length of this article, let’s move on. Acts 4:8-12 appears to be a confusing verse, and we will have to study it for a bit here, but we have already laid our own foundation to understand this in context. So, let’s read this verse as thus,

”Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole.

Psalm 118:22 (paraphrased), ‘This is the stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

I believe that the first thing that we must do is to examine this is attempt to look at the context in which it is being applied. Apparently both Peter and John are on trial, and their audience are the Jewish leaders. So, they would have been under a lot of pressure when this was stated, and they were most likely trying to impress the weight of the decision that the Jewish leaders were making on them. The focus of the question was on verse seven,

”And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?”

To answer the Jewish leader’s question, their answer did not need to make sense in regard to the punishment or conviction, but to state that they were supporting a cause that was of God. The cause that was being supported, was the construction of the building for the Temple of God, and that they were following the orders of the Architect (Jesus). If we try to break this down to mean any other thing, it never comes to any point that makes sense. For example, it could be implying that Peter himself is the cornerstone, which most likely isn’t true. If it is stating that Jesus is the cornerstone, then what does that have to do with their trial?

What it leads back to is that Peter and John were supporting a cause that was associated with Jesus’s plan. Somehow what Peter said works, and the Jewish leaders are amazed at the words that they spoke. I’m sure there was some divine intervention there. When they quoted Psalm 118 it wasn’t to say that either Peter, John, or Jesus was the cornerstone; they were using it as prophetic evidence that a building was being constructed and that they are following Jesus’ plans to fulfill that construction. That then answers the question that the Jewish leaders were asking from verse seven. As to what the word “whole” meant in verse ten, I could only imagine that it was to state that they were not ashamed of what they had done and that there was no guilt to be had as in “not being the complete truth, ” the task was wholesome or complete.

If we try to look at this from any other perspective other than for the reason that Peter was answering the question that was asked of him, then we are simply looking at the literal values of what was said that could imply either Peter or Jesus to be the cornerstone, but that that would not be in the context of answering the Jewish leaders question. Again, this is a matter of having to reference the subject into a grander context. As that John had reprimanded Peter’s actions a few times in the past, one is tempted to go back in time to do something similar for answering the question like this, but apparently it worked for them.

Now after all of that, we can come back to Ephesians 2:20 where it appears to emphatically represent Jesus as the cornerstone. Some of you may not like this, but hands on cheek and mouth opened wide, the Textus Receptus may not be entirely accurate. Which of course is where we get most of our modern translations from. I first deferred to the Codex Sinaiticus, and I will quote the literal Greek text as thus Ephesians 2:20,

”εποικοδομηθεντεϲ επι τω θεμελιω των αποϲτολων και προφητων οντοϲ ακρογωνιαιου του χυ”

As some of you may know just enough Ancient Greek to see that the “Nomina Sacra” for the word Jesus isn’t in there. “A few documents, including [179] , omit Ἰησοῦ (William, R 1875) .” “[179] Codex Sinaiticus (sæc. iv.), now at St. Petersburg, published in facsimile type by its discoverer, Tischendorf, in 1862 (William, R 1875).” The verse that was quoted from above, is from the online https://codexsinaiticus.org. The word Messiah or Christ is represented by the last word “XU.” Christos or Christ in Bibles like the NKJV are implied to mean either Jesus or the Messiah, “anointed one” more specifically. If one must contest that Jesus is also a Messiah, then what we are speaking of is the promised Messiah that was hoped for by the Jews under the first covenant. The theory here is that this Messiah is being represented, as the Hebrew King Messiah and that the translator messed up in more than one location in Ephesians. This makes more sense in the context as well, being that it is stating that the building is being built “…on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, …” This is again stating that the foundation are the Apostles and Prophets.

So, at this point let’s take inventory of what we have. We have the Apostles and Prophets being the foundation, and we have the Architect, Mediator, Orchestrator as being Jesus Christ. The only thing left is who is the cornerstone. Now somehow, we have to keep two theories separate while we diagnose this. There is the camp who doesn’t believe that there is another Messiah except Jesus, and there is the camp that believes that there are two Messiahs with Jesus being the Chief Mediator of both this covenant and of God’s Temple that is being built, but that the Hebrew Messiah is the Promised One. Let’s then attempt to tackle this logically within the boundaries of both contexts or either possibility being true.

First of all, I want to clearly state that it was not the intention of this paper to prove the existence of the other Messiah, but to create logical definitions of what the difference was between the Architect, the Foundation, and the Cornerstone, but as you can see that when we get to the end of this discussion, that we have a very difficult time in fulfilling all three of those categories without the context of two Messiahs. As in how we are trying to tackle the differences in the definitions of these three entities as being separate but yet a part of the whole, we should also consider this an opportunity to explore what else may be the whole and how this problem might help us to solve an even grander problem.

If we see pieces missing in a puzzle, we don’t say let’s create more pieces, no. We say let’s look for the missing pieces. After all, the Jewish community for thousands of years waited for a King Messiah. It would seem absurd that they would wait that long and then want to kill Him. How did that occur that they were so confident that the Messiah that they were waiting for didn’t look like Jesus? Is it possible it is because He didn’t fit the full definition of what was prophesized? We believe in prophecy, we can see how Jesus fulfilled many of the prophecies, but when it comes to the Jews, they don’t get prophecy?

The Bible is moving across what seems like vast amounts of time for us. We expect to see things in our lifetimes, just like how the Apostles thought that the end times were going to happen in their time. Time hasn’t changed anything we are just like them, the only Messiah that we have seen is Jesus, just like them. Therefore after a few thousand years, we don’t think there is another One to come, but how many prophecies have not been fulfilled in regard to the coming Messiah? Matthew 5:17-18, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." We are no different than are ancestors in that way either, we judge time only by the time that we are in, just like they did. So, let’s back up to Ephesians 2:19,

”Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,”

Just earlier our contested verse stated that We are the stones of the foundation, but who are going to be the first stones, the first living stones? The Apostles and Prophets can’t be the first stones, because we have already stated that they are the foundation. Predecessors to the building of the building. So, who wants to be the first stone on this new foundation? Don’t be shy. If the stones are you and I, then the stones are us, but who is going to be the first stone? If the Apostles and Prophets were mortals, then would not the stones also be of mortals? The major difference between the foundation and the stones is that the stones are of people who have either died and been resurrected (without decay), or will be given a new Spirit after a spiritual death while being alive, because these stones are for a building that will be in Heaven. So, the first person (mortal) who dies and is resurrected (without decay), or the first one to receive a new Spirit while alive in the flesh, after Jesus is Glorified, will be the first living stone. Hence that person will be the Chief Cornerstone.

Again, if our ancestors are the foundation and Jesus is the Architect, who is going to be the Chief Cornerstone? Alright, I’ll resist the temptation to convince you further and will only leave you with the mystery…

Personal Journey and Points of Reference

Thessalonians 2:10-11, "and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,"

Isaiah 28:9-11, "Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little, there a little. For with stammering lips and another tongue he will speak to this people,

Matthew 6:24, "No one can be slave to two masters; for he will either hate the first and love the second, or scorn the second and be loyal to the first. You can’t be a slave to both God and money."

Matthew 7:28-29, "And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes."

In my morning walk, this is how the Spirit led me to interpret three of these verses together, "The Truth is the Word, not the truth that serves our selfish purposes that are driven by the fear of earthly things, but by the fear of God, and this Truth is our authority."

Isaiah 58:6-9, "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness To undo the heavy burdens To let the oppressed go free And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked that you cover him And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning Your healing shall spring forth speedily And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard." Isaiah 58:12, "Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In."

___________________________________________________________________________

Here are some articles not written by me, that could pre-prep some understanding of how the following message is related.

___________________________________________________________________________

Zechariah 7:13-14, "Then he answered me and said, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my Lord." So he said, "These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth."

What this looks like for someone who has experienced this test or tribulation from Revelation 2-3 and life itself. I have noticed that we want to say that these two chapters are referring to the Churches, then we create some analogies for how they relate. Although it is very much about the churches in regard to how the Almighty sees them in the present time, the solution to the Churches awakening is within this test. Jesus is administering this test for a specific person or a few people as it notes His faithful servant Antipas being lost while battling the church of Pergamum whose leaders were called the Nicolaitans and who got lost into the teachings of a Theocracy style Church. We can draw on present time, real life, negative consequences for Churches trying to administer themselves as the only authority given by God. Even if we say that we don't believe this to be true, we can't ignore the synergy created by any of these attempts.

Revelation 2:2, "‘I know what you’ve been doing, your toil, and your endurance. I also know that you cannot tolerate evil people. You have tested those who call themselves apostles, but are not, and have found them to be false."

This individual lives his life with a different perspective than most people. He can point out and see the flaws, but when he points them out, he gets crucified in the way of not being an "optimist." He can see the false teachers and other flaws in society. Isaiah 52:11, "Depart! Depart! Go out from there, Touch no unclean thing; Go out from the midst of her, Be clean, You who bear the vessels of the Lord."

Revelation 2:3, "You have endured and suffered because of my name, yet you have not grown weary."

He has been persistent even when things did not go well for him, he endured in his faith to God. Isaiah 53:3, "He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him."

Revelation 2:4, "However, I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first."

He backslid many times not knowing that he was being tested. So even though he could see the flaws in society, he was still trying to live in that world, like them. Isaiah 12:1, "And in that day you will say: “O Lord, I will praise You; Though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me." Isaiah 57:17, "For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid and was angry, And he went on backsliding in the way of his heart."

Revelation 2:5, "Therefore, remember how far you have fallen. Repent and go back to what you were doing at first. If you don’t, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place—unless you repent."

First love of course is the love for God and Jesus Christ, and a warning for him to stop backsliding. This is also very interesting that He unknowingly has a lamp stand in his presence. This is very powerful, because remember the seven lamp stands? This means that he is representing a Church, in other words, being a Counselor for the Word of God. Psalm 7:5, "Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust."

Revelation 2:6, "But this is to your credit: You hate the actions of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate."

He keeps trying to do the right things even though he is not doing all of the right things for himself. He keeps persisting and trying to learn, Childlike. So, God is saying that He is watching him because of his "unique" ability to see past the hypocrisies of false teachers while still being able to maintain his Faith in God under his own perspective. Isaiah 53:11, "He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities."

Revelation 2:7, "‘Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give the privilege of eating from the tree of life that is in God’s paradise to everyone who overcomes.’"

While this person is about to be tested, God has already put into the Bible the rewards of this test, and one of them will be an open door into the Kingdom of heaven, but for this person being tested, he is not aware of these awards yet. Isaiah 60:21, "Also your people shall all be righteous; They shall inherit the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified."

Revelation 2:9, "‘I know your suffering and your poverty—though you are rich—and the slander committed by those who claim to be Jews but are not. They are the synagogue of Satan."

He has suffered because of a wrong choice that cascaded to a greater effect because of the Law being so static in judgement, but again he does not know that he is being tested. The cascade effect brought him to the point of causing poverty in his life in regard to both financial and social. Despite all this, he is still able to see the mistakes of society and the way that we treat each other, and he endures by faith in himself, which is his faith in God. Isaiah 53:9, "He was given a grave among the wicked; in his death he was with a rich man." This is saying that He is rich in Spirit or of faith. Many think that this means that he was literally (earthly) buried with the rich, he died spiritually with this test, so he was buried with the rich in Spirit! Isaiah 61:1, "“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;"

Psalm 11:1, "In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?" It was initially believed that the coming Hebrew Messiah takes on the curses of the Law to Himself. This person is being punished by the curse of the Law. People who were born before computers had become the mainstay, before the information age, and before all of the Laws that were recorded on paper were put into databases, became the guinea pigs for the changes that took place in the enforcement of the Law. Information that is in a government database about someone who broke the Law is public information! So, if it were a particularly bad Law that was broken, he was enduring the curse of the Law and interceding for those who were enduring legal challenges in a similar way. Once a law is recorded, it becomes its own definition of the truth. Hence, the curse of the Law and intercession for other people’s transgressions. The cross symbolizes the public punishment of someone, hence being "lifted up" onto the tree/cross. It also symbolizes a punishment so great that it causes a type of death, imagine being alive for 65 years and not wanting to live anymore, but you can't die because it's forbidden by God to take your own life. So just by living, he was doing the will of God!

Revelation 2:10, "Don’t be afraid of what you are going to suffer. Look! The Devil is going to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested. For ten days you will undergo suffering. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the victor’s crown of life."

One of the previous articles that I linked above actually speaks some of to this. That we, even the sinners, are under the constant protection of God. Otherwise, we would all be in some kind of spiritual prison, but at this point, he is still unaware that he is being tested and even unaware of these words in the Bible or of this very scripture. The mistakes that he made in life were from legal consequence, but the punishment didn't match the reality of his unwise actions, but it brings him to the point of abusing substances, losing everything, and then finally asking God for permission to die. So obviously he is a God-fearing person because he strongly feels the need to ask God to die. The ten days is literally ten earth days, and it is like being in hell and on earth at the same time. He began to experience things that others would not/could not believe even if he told them. The Devil is trying to torment him with relentless spiritual attacks, and he is isolated in the way that nobody would believe what is happening to him. Remember that this is also after he has lost everything that was of value to him on the earth. Isaiah 53:12, "Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors."

Revelation 2:11, "‘Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who overcomes will never be hurt by the second death.’”

As the previous verse is talking about the "Crown of Life," and this verse is speaking of not being hurt by the second death, it is stating that if he overcomes the ten day test, that he will have eternal life and would not have to do anything else to earn his passage into heaven, and even have access to the Tree of Life. So, in these ten days of time, you have this person who is deplorable to others in his existing life, but yet being given these gifts upon passing the test. Isaiah 53:10, "Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand."

Revelation 2:13, "‘I know where you live. Satan’s throne is there. Yet you hold on to my name and have not denied your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was killed in your presence, where Satan lives."

Where he lives is his home; he is being tested from his house, but since he is also in the underworld, he is also in Hades. While he is being tested, he begins to go on the offense and actually pics up a Bible and begins to preach to the demons. While he is preaching to them, they are attempting to distract him so much for his peripheral vision that he is having a hard time concentrating and begins to cry. Psalm 56:8, "You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?" He moves from the Old Testament to the New Testament and gets to Matthew 7:22 where he sees the prophetic word. It says something like this, "He who casts out demons in your name, in your name, shall see many wonderous things."

Right then, he stops reading and says to himself, "In my name?" He looks up and the demons that were attacking him stopped and were all bundled together in what looked like a floating ball of particles. He put his hand through them, and he could feel the granular particles. Jesus mentions His faithful witness Antipas who was cooked alive in a bronze bull. Fortunately for this person, he had a Bible in the house and there weren't any bronze bulls around. What else is interesting here is that Jesus fought Satan with using the Word of God, right? As soon as he (the tested) asked himself the prophetic question, they stopped attacking him and then changed their tactics to trying to soothe him. It allowed for him to further move to the offense and tolerate the remainder of the test. So, see, even in hell, God is with us! Isaiah 53:8, "He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken."

Revelation 2:14, "But I have a few things against you: You have there some who hold to the teaching of Balaam, the one who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the people of Israel so that they would eat food sacrificed to idols and practice immorality."

I believe that this is in reference to the mistake that this person made, that was indirectly connected with a person who valued their beliefs in God. Even though his mistake was not of the level of the punishment he received, he was still very regretful for it. It is also most likely making a similar connection with Christian teachers who may or may not be regretful for misguiding their constituents. Ezekiel 2:14, " “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand."

Revelation 2:15-16, "You also have some who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. So repent. If you don’t, I will come to you quickly and wage war against them with the sword of my mouth."

He is clearly speaking over the person who is being tested and talking to the Churches. It could mean that God has already begun transitioning this person's new authority in that to say, that he needs to help steer them away from their actions. Isaiah 52:5, "Now therefore, what have I here,” says the Lord, “That My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them Make them wail,” says the Lord, “And My name is blasphemed continually every day."

Revelation 2:17, "‘Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give some of the hidden manna to everyone who overcomes.’” I will also give him a white stone. On the white stone is written a new name that no one knows except the person who receives it.’”

I believe that the hidden mana are spiritual gifts such as like being able to receive spiritual food like Jesus had when He was on the earth. The white stone is God's eternal forgiveness of any wrong doings and that He will forever forget the mistakes made in this person's past. He will remember them no more. The white stone also comes with a name. This name will be a special name or of one of many names, but the name is never revealed literally. There are references in the Bible that relate to this new name, but most Christians would contest that those names belong to Jesus alone. Isaiah 62:2, "The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the Lord will name."

Revelation 2:19, "‘I know what you’ve been doing—your love, faithfulness, service, and endurance—and that your last actions are greater than the first."

This is repeating what God has seen in this person, that he is standing out from the rest, but he would at this point still not know what his greater, later actions are yet. Unless they be of the victory itself, building the highway of letting out the prisoners, and for other future actions not performed yet. The person who was for a second a stumbling block is now the Highway Constructor. Isaiah 57:14, "And one shall say, “Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, Take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.”"

Revelation 2:20-23, "But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet and who teaches and leads my servants to practice immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she refused to repent of her immorality. Look! I am going to strike her with illness. Those who commit adultery with her will also suffer greatly, unless they repent from acting like her. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts. I will reward each of you as your actions deserve."

This was an embarrassing mistake, his only defense is that it was prophesized that he would make this mistake shortly after his first test, but he was kind of tricked into thinking that he was doing something nice for someone, but she seduced him. Apparently this Jezebel person, resides in the underworld, and it was possible that during his days in living in both the earth and in hades that she presented herself from hades, but he thought that he was completely back to the earth. We can see the connection here through the misleading of the righteous, even newly tested ones, and idolization. While this person thought that he was helping someone out, she seduced him and it was very wierd thinking back on it in hindsight, because before that occurred she asked for wierd things like a dirty magazine and junk food, and some other "things" that didn't make much sense, because she never used them, but they were most likely required for the idolization part of whatever she was doing. 1 Corinthians 10:18-20, "Observe Israel after the flesh: Are not those who eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?"

Revelation 2:24, "“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden."

He is telling this person tested, that He won't test him anymore and will honor the gift of the Crown of Life. There is no other part anywhere in the Bible that is comparable to either this scripture or the giving of a white stone to a single person. What is even more interesting is that, I don't usually reference to the NKJV of the bible, but it is actually the most correct version of this verse. Many bibles try to take out the word "And" or a comma to make it appear to be about the Churches, but what is actually happening is that God is saying that most people have no comprehension of what this person had to suffer, such as the Churches, that is why he does not have be be burdoned any further and that he has received the white stone, which of course, is the stone of forgiveness which is the assurance that despite him being condemned under men's laws, he was perpetually forgiven by God. Look this is a combination of BlueLetterBible.org and google translate Revelation 2:24, "But to you I say to the rest of those in Thyateira who do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I do not lay any other burden on you." That is very close to the NKJV. I will just refer back to Revelation 2:10 using the same technique, "do not fear what is to come you suffer , behold, the devil is coming to throw you into prison so that you will be tempted and have tribulation for ten days be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life."

Revelation 2:25, "Just hold on to what you have until I come."

A small warning to keep doing good and avoid evil, despite receiving the gift of eternal life of the body and Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-22, "Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil."

Revelation 2:26, "I will give authority over the nations to the person who overcomes and continues to do what I’ve commanded to the end, and"

Now this is where things really start to get interesting. He is stating that the person who passes this test not only receives the Crown of Life, but that he will be given authority over the nations! but pay attention to the last part of the sentence, God is implying that there will be more instructions to come. Psalm 2:8, "Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession."

Revelation 2:27, "‘He will rule them with an iron scepter; shattering them like clay pots.’"

The iron scepter is referred to as the rod of iron in the NKJV, but it is the same authority that Jesus Himself has. This is what initially led me to believe that there is a path for us all to become Sons of God, we just have to believe it. This (may) also be the only path in which we retain our natural bodily form, even while completely being of the Spirit. The Bible does not say what form we will be in, if we don't completely submit to God's commands to the very end, and part of that command is to keep believing in our full potential. Ephesians 4:13, "until all of us are united in the faith and in the full knowledge of God’s Son, and until we attain mature adulthood and the full standard of development in the Messiah." Psalm 2:9, "You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

Revelation 2:28, "‘Just as I have received authority from my Father, I will also give him the morning star."

I believe that the morning star symbolizes the true light, that is to say that the other Christians will follow this person and He will be a source of light for them in either heaven or on earth. Can one believe that Satan was so full of himself, that he gave this up. Satan also had the morning star and he just threw it away. Malachi 4:2, "But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves."

Revelation 2:29, "‘Let everyone listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

This message has a dual purpose. It is telling this individual about the purpose of what he is experiencing and receiving, but it is also a warning to the Churches. God has lost His faith in the Churches of the earth. This is the reason that He is giving to another this authority, and Israel did ask for a King. So God gave them one and He is giving them one again, that is one part of the Promises (the blessings from the annulment of the Law or the first covenant). The other part of the Promise being the release of the Holy Spirit and being able to receive Baptism by Faith. Matthew 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’"

Revelation 3:1, “To the messenger of the church in Sardis, write: ‘The one who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says this: ‘I know what you’ve been doing. You are known for being alive, but you are dead."

The known for being alive, but are dead is another way of saying that he was known to others on earth as being alive, they could and can see him, but as a result of the trial, his previous spirit died. Isaiah 53:7, "He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth."

Revelation 3:2, "Be alert, and strengthen the things that are left, which are about to die. I note that your actions are incomplete before my God."

The person tested must continue on. He must strengthen his resolve in being the type of Christian that he wants to become. He wants to fulfill God's task, so he must continue on. I also want to point out the "Be alert" part. This is also a thing or perspective that may separate the Church from reality. In Him saying to be alert, he is saying to actually watch out for physical signs given. Very small things that one would not see if they were not paying 100% attention to. Such as, I don't know, you’re playing Civilization IV on your computer, then suddenly for no reason at all, and for the very first time, your screen gets locked up where it says, "You can't serve two Masters." How about one day you notice that you are only eating one meal a day, and are never hungry, but it took you two weeks to realize it. Your broke, your tired, your thirsty, it's 120 degrees outside, and a bus has waited on you for an entire block.

Just before his test in Revelations 2:10, he was hearing the sounds of children playing who were very close. He didn't think nothing of it, but suddenly he decides to look in his back yard, and nobody is there. So he goes through the front door, and what he noticed was that the decibel range was exactly the same no matter where he went, he could hear them at exactly the same volume. That is when he knew something was up, but what was that? Because he knew that something wasn't right, he immediately saw this as something that God was doing. He didn't stop to think, will others think I'm crazy? No, it’s God! then the test started the next day. Just to give you a taste of how this went down, he went into the kitchen to turn the light on, and the light exploded, very loudly. The day after that, he noticed that the light was still intact, so he flipped the switch, and the light came back on! I have another whole story for what happened during this test, but I'm going to save that part until some of you all start actually believing this.

Fast forward to these days, just before this anointing begun to happen, he noticed that when he turned his bedroom light off in his apartment, he could hear the fan stopping. Well guess what? There is no Fan! He was hearing the same pattern from the previous apartment that he was living in! SO, PAY ATTENTION! Isaiah 53:6, All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, everyone, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

Revelation 3:3, "So remember what you received and heard. Obey it, and repent. If you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you won’t know the time when I will come to you."

God is telling this individual that it would be wise to remember this trial and to use that remembrance to maintain being alert, to keep the fear of God in him. God is saying that he will come back to him again in the near future at a time that he will not know (as previously stated, He came back). So even though he has eternal life, he is still being tested for the task that God wants to give him. When he was resurrected in the Spirit, he received a new Spirit from God. This was interesting, because on the last day when he could not stay awake any longer, he wakes up at about 3:00 a.m., and touching himself says, "Wow, I'm still alive!" He thought he was going to die because that is what he asked for. Just in that second and of about two seconds, he feels this energy pass from the lower part of his body all the way up. It felt like a "donut" of energy that was around him and moved from the bottom of his body to the top, and it remained with him for about another five seconds. He didn't know if the energy was from Satan or God, still ignorant. Later of course, he realized that the energy was from God and it most likely was the event where he received the new Spirit. Ezekiel 36:25-27, "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."

Revelation 3:4, "But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me in white clothes because they are worthy."

This is the warning to the person who has passed the test. If he does not continue to follow the path that God has laid out for him, there are others who are already lined up to take care of those duties. This is also very interesting, because as the Bible is kind of hiding the return of the Hebrew Messiah, but as I've been learning that it’s more of a blending of the two Messiahs, it's stating that His coming was not guaranteed. Hence, His coming appearing to be hidden, even though God already knows how everything will work out. Revelation 19:8, " And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints."

Revelation 3:5, "The person who overcomes in this way will wear white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the Book of Life. I will acknowledge his name in the presence of my Father and his angels."

Upon successful completion of both tests, he will wear white clothes. This is another way of saying that he will become a Son of God. Even going beyond the "Crown of Life" itself, His name will never be erased from the "Book of Life." He will be granted special authority to be known to the Father himself and to the angels, even to the Archangels of His new authority. This is where I get to begin expanding outside of Revelation, in Revelation 2:27, that is a direct reference to Psalm 2:9. Which means that the remainder of Psalm 2 has a 99.9% chance of speaking of the same person as in context. Psalm 2:12, "Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him." I have even seen in theologian studies that this is stating that God has already called him a Son of God. I don't mean to freak anyone out, but I'm trying to make a hard point here. Something big is happening. We are in Revelation right now! Psalm 23:4, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Matthew 11:7-10, "As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, Who will prepare Your way before You.’"

Revelation 3:8, "‘I know what you’ve been doing. Look! I have put in front of you an open door that no one can shut. You have only a little strength, but you have obeyed my word and have not denied my name."

This is the "key to heaven," the open door that never shuts. He is complimenting His new Son that even with little strength or power, he was able to fulfill God's test because of His faith and desire to follow His Master. Isaiah 54:2, "“Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes." Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever."

Revelation 3:9, "I will make those who belong to the synagogue of Satan—those who claim to be Jews and aren’t, but are lying—come and bow down at your feet. Then they will realize that I have loved you."

This is one of the reasons that He keeps speaking to the Churches. God is trying to embarrass them, to make them ashamed for not following the true potential of man. They helped to keep God's promises bottled up for their own earthly ambitions. One can say that they are a Teacher, but if they don't want to teach what God wants, then let them step out of the way for people who "are not great teachers," but who are not afraid to teach the Truth. For as long as they are the ones standing on the podium, God's voice is muted. Isaiah 54:16, "Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy." Psalm 91:13, "You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot." Psalm 110:1, "The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”"

Revelation 3:10, "Because you have obeyed my command to endure, I will keep you from the hour of testing that is coming to the whole world to test those living on the earth."

This is a strange clue of how close we are to the end or at least to tribulation. God will keep Him from the hour of trial that is at hand. We should point out the word "obeyed" since this is why Israel is in such trouble with Him right now, because they are not obeying His statutes. To how much of obeying vs. not ignoring, we don't know, but personally I think that by them ignoring God's presence, they are not obeying His presence. They are forgetting who they belong to. Isaiah 54:17, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord." Psalm 91:3-4, "Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler."

Revelation 3:11, "I am coming soon! Hold on to what you have so that no one takes your victor’s crown."

God is telling His new apprentice to stay on the path and to not be deceived by others no matter how cunning they may be, but this is the person who knows who the betrayers are. He can see them. James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

Revelation 3:12, "I will make the one who overcomes to become a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and he will never go out of it again. I will write on him the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God), and my own new name.

He will be in the Throne Room with Jesus! Jesus represents the new Temple. He will stand as a pillar inside the Temple. In other words, He will have authority from the Temple itself and be within the sanctuary of God. He will never have to leave heaven if He so chooses. Write on him the name of my God is saying that he will be a Son of God. Write on him the city of my God is saying that he will have an honorary role as in the God Head itself, and His own new name as in the name of the Messiah or Christ. Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever." Hebrews 12:22-24, "But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel."

Revelation 3:15, "‘I know your actions, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were cold or hot."

He is talking to the leaders of the Churches again. They are trying to play both roles believing that just by getting the word out and telling of Jesus that it is enough for everyone to get saved. Even if it were enough to get saved, what would be the condition of being saved. We are meant to push ourselves to the limits for God, to test ourselves or to allow ourselves to be tested. We say that we do as what our Father demands, yet we still live for this world, following the world’s laws, preaching the world’s politics, relying on money to resolve our fears. Using material things to stage and say that we are better than our neighbor, not in the material things, but better in the Spiritual things! We know more because we have more, we are rich! Our confidence to grow as Christians is coming from the material as much as the immaterial, and that is being “lukewarm.”

Revelation 3:16, "Since you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I am going to spit you out of my mouth."

Because they minister of both the Spiritual and of the Material, they have no value to God. The analogy of spit you out is just right, it's telling of something that tastes bad, because it has become tainted with foulness. Unbearable to consume.

Revelation 3:17, "You say, “I am rich. I have become wealthy. I don’t need anything.” Yet you don’t realize that you are miserable, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked."

Are we teaching what God wants to say or are we teaching to people what they want to hear. We are putting too much emphasis on surviving of this world, and we are missing the entire point of looking at how to survive our test of this world. They have lost site of the eternal reward and are solely still so focused on what is happening in this world right now.

Revelation 3:18, "Therefore, I advise you to buy from me gold purified in fire so you may be rich, white clothes to wear so your shameful nakedness won’t show, and ointment to put on your eyes so you may see."

He is giving them one last opportunity to repent. Teach us of the mysteries, powers, and wonders that each one of our potential selves have. Faith isn't something that comes in a bottle or from a Church, it comes from the individual's desire to pursue heavenly quests and is reinforced by God through one’s personal observations and sacrifices. The riches are not of, or in this world, the riches are in heaven. The gift of teaching isn't in the ability to sell a product, it’s in the ability to sell the truth of the true rewards. Although, we should not be motivated by those either, but to serve our Maker and Redeemer by the zeal of the Spirit.

There is more information that I would like to share with you all about what it was like to endure this test, but I'm trying to stick to what is relevant here. I did not know that this event was in Scripture until I went to church at about a year after being at Crossroads (halfway house) after I lost my real house, and I went to a Church called Living Streams in Northern Phoenix. I remember the minister struggling with Revelation 2:10, he was trying to determine what time period ten days was, ten days, ten weeks, ten years. I was tempted to tell him, but it was still a surprise to me that what he was ministering was actually in the Bible. Just take a step back and imagine for a second, it's you, you are this person. You went through this test and then went to church a year later, to hear that what you went through is in Revelation.

Jesus Christ to be the one who is the door to heaven, who is Mediator, who has final command and authority, the One who is encapsulating the new and final covenant, but if you say that the entire Bible is about Jesus, you have utterly missed the entire point. The Bible is about us, the Israelites, and Gentiles. It is greatly important to recognize Jesus as our Savior or Redeemer, but we need to look at the whole picture here. Remember, Matthew 7:29, He wants You to have authority. Don't feel guilty for being a part of your own Divine Intervention, we are much more likely to not win our Lords favor, by not advocating for ourselves. All we have to do is to make sure that we separate our earthly asperations from our Heavenly ones. Don't pray for material things!

But we can pray for things that help us to further our progress into the ambitions of works by Faith. Another interesting phenomenon is when Jesus says in Mark 6:4, "But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country, among his own relatives, and in his own house." What is our country now, what is our house? It is the world. The world has become much smaller of a place. We believe that Enoch and Elijah were taken up, but we won't believe in such things in this day. The more "advanced" that we become, dependent that we become on this world, the more ignorant of the Spiritual world we are. Hence the Mark of the Beast, because the only way to sell that, is to not sell the glory and riches of Heaven, and the sacrifices needed to get there.

Prophetic word in March of 2010 in lieu of Matthew 7:22, "He who casts out demons in your name, in your name, will see many wonderous things." The casting out of the demons had to do with the demons that I had to face while enduring the test, but it is also in Matthew 7:22 which is the exact verse that it replaced when I was reading the bible while in the spiritual prison and it says, "Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'" Do you see where it repeats the word 'Lord' twice and then in the prophetic word it repeats 'your name' twice? It's like it is saying that the Church wants to emphasize that they are doing the right thing, and God wants to emphasize that they can't do the right thing in the way that they are currently doing it. One of the first things that we have to stop doing is reading the Bible so two dimensionally.

Look how many dimensions are here. 1.) We have two different books basically saying the same thing in regard to the Churches, Matthew 7 and Revelation 2-3. 2.) We have the prophetic word stating why something is happening that is in context to what is happening in Revelation, but also Matthew 7:22, and how that relates to the Churches behaviors. 3.) What is actually being said in Matthew 7:22 about casting out demons, and actually having a practical application for what I was going through during the test, and that both verses are mentioning the casting out of demons. 4.) Fulfilling prophecy that a person like this, not saying that it is me, that is going to have a dramatic affect during the end times like in Revelation 11:18, "The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, and those who fear Your name, small and great, and should destroy those who destroy the earth.". 5.) Matthew 7:1-6, where Jesus is speaking about the Churches again where they are basically following the Law, because the law judges, and Revelation 2-3: is speaking of Churches trying to establish the type of hierarchy where they remain in control and in many cases working directly with the wealthy to maintain that control.

We need to put some resources back into the base, and helping some brothers and sisters out can go a long way. We have a huge homeless population right now, yes, a population of homeless people. We are also in too many cases directing people away from God and more to material types of items. We measure everything by money. "How did that project work out?" "We saved a bunch of money!" Where is the mission, the teamwork, the satisfaction of a job well done. We measure everything by money. Social intelligence is just a way to justify terrible marketing techniques, extroverts run the world, because their aggressive enough to grab people’s attention even if they don't have the answers. We are lacking true leaders. Putting the power into the hands of only a few people is not in God's plan. Not unless you consider the end of the plan to be a plan.

Just recently, I was contemplating which new verses that I need to memorize and remembered the prophetic word that I mentioned above in Matthew 7:22. What I noticed just beyond that verse was Matthew 7:29, "for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes." Alright, so if we take them two verses in context with what the point was about regarding the Churches in Revelation 2-3, and compare that to Revelation 2:6, "But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate." According to some research that I was doing in regard to the Nicolaitans, they were a church that wanted to have an earthly hierarchy as in having an elitist or authoritarian agenda. So, get out your inkhorn, here it is. The prophetic words that I heard while going through the test in Revelation 2-3, directly fits to the chapter of Matthew 7. What God is trying to tell You and me is that we are supposed to believe in our own authority as we see or read it in the Scripture, not how someone else is telling us it is supposed to be, why? Firstly, it could be incorrect, false, like the teachings of the Nicolaitans. Secondly, God has a path for each one of us to follow. The Holy Ghost is the one who will tell us how to read the word for our individual circumstances.

To God we are individual creatures as much as we are creatures of humanity. Speaking of Humanities, I was writing about Pilgrimages in a Humanities class, but in writing the paper, I realized that there was real value in a Pilgrimage, because it’s not just about where one is going to but also, it is about what one is leaving behind. Sometimes we need to get away from the "noise" of everything and that can include the Church. We need to read the Bible as if we are the Church, because each one of us is a walking Temple. I have been receiving physical anointings since October of 2023. Just to make sure that we are all on the same page here to what I mean by "physical anointing," because my pasture said something about "it not being a feeling," which is why I think that he is reading my page, but let me more clearly define what I mean by my physical anointings.

Let's say this is you and this is what you are experiencing. You have this constant "ribbin" like feeling on the top of your head that is "moving" or is a dynamic feeling. Somtimes it's just there, at other times it feels like a needle touching your skin. If you move to do something in regard to reading the Scriptures, the sensations will get stronger. Sometimes you can sense this moving around your eyes or even going into your nose, like it's trying to get your attention and it thinks that it is funny to go into your nose! It feels like a moving spirit, because that is exactly what it is. Whether it is the Holy Ghost, a single angel, multiple angels, or maybe it's all the above, but no matter what time of the day it is, whether your going to sleep, waking up, or even taking an Exam! It's ever present.

I have to be this detailed, because a pature implied that it was just a "feeling." Well a knife in the back is just a feeling because you can't see it, right? As the Bible mentions that the Spirit makes groaning noises, but to you it sounds like small clicking noises that sometimes respond when you're attempting to communicate with Him. More recently I will feel what feels like water drops hitting my skin. Before I depart from this subject, I want to show you one more thing. Do you see where in Revelation 13:3 it says,

"And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast."

There isn't anywhere in the Bible that gives an explanation for this, which is very interesting of course. About a month after I came out of this test, I had to find a new place to live and I was staying at a place called Crossroads in Glendale, AZ. I remember sitting down and writing a letter, but I don't know for sure if the letter that I have was written then or when I was going through the test, but I wanted to share this letter with you. The only other reference could be in Revelation 19:15, and you will also see the reference to the one who holds the "rod of iron."

Good Fruit

Matthew 7:15-20, “Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are savage wolves. You will know them by their fruit. Grapes aren’t gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles, are they? In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a rotten tree produces bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a rotten tree cannot produce good fruit. Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into a fire. So, by their fruit you will know them.”

This set of verses appears to be used often by the Churches. What is ironic is that it is also a test verse that connects Revelation 2 and 3, about how to know the difference between something that is good or bad in that how Jesus was stating that the majority of Churches are bad. If the majority of Churches were not bad, He would not be so disappointed as to create this test for a Son of Man to lead them. If we can’t agree on that, then there is the definition or standard to go by. One has to agree that the majority of Churches are failing. So, what I’m actually hearing from the Churches isn’t a definition of good fruit, but of just fruity in general.

For even a bad tree bears fruit or a tree that is lukewarm bears fruit, but what Matthew 7 is stating is that He needs the Churches to bear Good fruit. As in most cases with the Bible, the verses have multiple meanings. So, let’s begin with the most basic meaning. What is fruit? Its food. If one wants to impress that they are bearing good fruit, then do this. Isaiah 58:10-11, ”if you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the needs of afflicted souls, then your light will rise in darkness, and your night will be like noonday. And the LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in parched places, and they will strengthen your bones; and you’ll be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. And your people will rebuild the ancient ruins; You’ll raise up the age-old foundations, and people will call you ‘Repairer of Broken Walls,’ ‘Restorer of Streets to Live In.’”

That message is both to a person and to the community. If we don’t have the time to get the poor off of the streets and feed them, then we do it on Sundays. We should have our hands in the dirt and our 10% to the plow! Are we going to stay the course that we don’t need to do any works? Of course we need to do works, not unless you got a magic mana wand. Faith without works is dead! Then in the very next verses in Matthew 7:21-25, Jesus is giving us instructions to know what good fruit is of the Spirit! ” “Not everyone who keeps saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will get into the kingdom from heaven, but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name, drove out demons in your name, and performed many miracles in your name, didn’t we?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who practice evil!’” “Therefore, everyone who listens to these messages of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, but it did not collapse because its foundation was on the rock.”

What is He saying, He is saying to build, build your house upon the rock. The word build is a word of action. It means to do something. What else is it saying? It is saying that faith without works is dead! We have done all of these things by works and not faith, but it is of absolutely no value, why, because if it was of faith, it would bare Good fruit. The Chuches are saying that they don't need works, but what they really need is Faith! Just saying Lord, Lord, doesn't get us into heaven. We are doing the Jesuit Christian thing, twisting the word for what we want, or from what has been instilled into us over decades, perhaps since we were old enough to go to Sunday school. We are coming into the third covenant; it’s time to shift gears. In fact, we are way past that point, we have been stuck in second since the 1800’s. To drive this point home is this. When we give our 10% tithe to the church, those tithes are coming from works, but do all of the tithes go toward works with the Church as it's mediator?

That is another question, but if we do our works for what is important to God, then our faith is 100% rewarded. But if we are giving money to a Church that is not being transparent into where the money is going, then it might fit into this category Matthew 7:6, "Never give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them with their feet and then turn around and attack you." Just as we question everything else, it is also for us to question what the Church is doing.

Apostle Paul, Faith vs Works

One of the center points of attention within the Bible are the concepts of faith, works (Justice and Righteousness), and grace. We like to keep things simple, so good news, I can keep this synopsis very simple. In particular, in the Book of Romans, Paul appears to be expressing this notion that we can’t be saved by works. In fact, the “Pauline” teachings seem to conflict with much of the other parts of Scripture. The truth lies somewhere in between.

After spending a working man’s amount of time on this subject (not much), I came to this simple conclusion. Apostle Paul is speaking about two different types of works. His primary purpose was to instill into the Jews that works of the law (Jewish Law) are not as significant as the Gift of Faith received through Jesus Christ. For the reason that he is trying to make this hard point, he does not appear to leave much discussion on the importance of works in regard to being a Christian, a non-Jewish believer.

It's interesting, because my first thought is why Apostle Paul didn’t just say that faith comes before works and that would seem to clarify everything, but there are two different platforms here. One for the Jew and one for the Christian/Gentile. So, when Paul is mentioning works, it appears that he is referring to the works of the Jews for salvation, but in the end, works are really just works. There are not really two different kinds of works, just different situations where and how they are applied. So, the discussion isn’t directly related to works but about the application of them.

For example: Jews have to follow the ordinances and statutes, then there are certain things that they either have to do, or can’t do, and that would be the definition of their works. For the Christian, we actually have it much easier, because the works that we do are for the glory of God which in turn indirectly helps us to have a closer relationship with the Almighty. An example of this is that Paul himself calls the works of the law a curse for them. Whereas after the advent of the new covenant, the Christian who does the works of the Jewish Law are accepted as a blessing through the Promise are not "necessary." Albeit that the works for grace "may" be necessary. I say "may," because it appears that Apostle Paul is touching on another subject, that for some who are called by "My name" (for His name, witnesses), salvation may be done without works.

Here is where there is potentially another point of confusion in regard to Paul's writings, that not all are saved in exactly the same way. Hence, as Apostle James puts it, faith is being proven by our works. An example of doing works according to the Law would be observing the Sabbath. An example of doing works according to a Christian would be a person who is a Restorer of the Streets. This is where it gets interesting, because that statement is actually in the Old Testament, but that part of the OT is of prophecy, hence being in the more present time. Keeping in mind that God reserves the right to reedeem people who He has chosen and these chosen may or may not have done works, but most likely have in some form of the heart.

We could also take from the works that Jesus wanted us to do in regard to being actively humble, taking care of the lesser of our situations, being kind, generous, or forgiving. This all appears to be of a society where we take care of each other. Before the Jews had a King, there were designated roles that people played out. It was both a duty and a privilege. So now that we have “Kings,” how are we supposed to replace those necessary roles that emblemized brotherly love, tolerance, justice, and forgiveness? There appears to be some type of phenomena here in regard to us being self-organized. Under a kingship, we appear to be more divided, yet this is what we have chosen for our path. So, how do we reconcile this as both for society and as individuals?

Although it is not necessary for us to know how the Almighty receives our works, it is necessary for us to know how our works are impacting society in either a positive or negative way so that we can adjust the sails of our ship. If we don’t know what direction we are going, how are we going to use our will to decide our best paths? It bothers me that some churches want to lean so heavily in believing that works have no place for our quality of salvation, or that they won’t acknowledge that the tithe itself is works. Wanting to do something for the Kingdom of Heaven is proof of faith. We can't assume that the works will be there because of our faith, when the actual question of the issue being, is our faith really there?

If we are not proving our faith, then the question comes into being, are we just pretending that our faith is really there? When we insist that we can’t be saved through works, what we are really saying is that we don't need to prove our faith. Every single day we have to make choices between the flesh and the Spirit. How can we prove to ourselves that our choices are more in line with the Spirit than the flesh? The only thing that we have to show for this alignment is our actions. Not the actions according to human law, but the actions according to the Law of the Messiah. In regard to Apostle Paul speaking about works, we can see that he is making this distinction between the Christian/Gentile and the Jew. He says that Christians are not circumcised even though circumcision was according to the Mosaic Law.

Ephesians 2:11, ”So then, remember that at one time you gentiles by birth were called “the uncircumcised” by those who called themselves “the circumcised.” They underwent physical circumcision done by human hands.”

We can see here that Paul is putting everything into the context of either being a Jew or not being a Jew. It is actually very confusing and misleading especially when we add verses to this such as Galatians 3:13,

” The Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written, “A curse on everyone who is hung on a tree!””

So, if the curse of the Law is removed, then why does Apostle Paul refer to the gentiles as being the “non-uncircumcised?” It’s hard to completely follow Paul’s logic here, but I believe that if we adjust our perspective when reading his writings, that we can claim many benefits from his words. For one, to emphasize that Faith is of primary importance is very helpful, but I think that there are other distractions that may be adding to this confusion. As many of you know that my page is about the expected Hebrew/Mosaic Messiah. Clearly in Paul’s writings, he is emphatic that Jesus was the one and only expected Messiah.

The other point of potential confusion is that Paul appears to believe that no pure human can obtain righteousness. This belief could also come from the point that if Jesus was the last Messiah, then there would not be any more opportunities for us to become righteous in the eyes of God. He points to this in Romans 3:10-18,

as it is written: “There is no one who is righteous, not even one; there is no one who has understanding; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness; there is not even one.” “Their throats are opened graves; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of vipers is under their lips.” “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.” “Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery are in their paths, and the way of peace they have not known.” “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

This paints a pretty dreary prospect for us human beings. I believe that the second point of Paul not believing in a second Messiah is very much a part of the third point of Paul’s confusion. Apparently, not fully aware of the mystery, Paul is not seeing that by the sacrifice of the Second Messiah, that we are able to obtain righteousness. Obviously without either of the Messiahs, there would be no path for this to happen. By Paul only seeing Jesus as the One and only Messiah, he is assuming that it was Jesus’ sacrifice that we are saved and hence not by what we do.

This is the large missing page. Under the concept of the "Union of the Messiah," we raise each other up to the status of righteousness because one had obtained righteousness by grace (Messiah), which could have only happened after Jesus ascended. Now after Jesus ascends, we have the capacity to become righteous but only through the expected coming of the Second Messiah or in the Union of the Messiah. Right now, any of us can obtain Righteousness through grace from the Godhead. The grace is coming from God and Jesus, not necessarily because of his crucifixion. In other words, grace is being actively handed out and it is not automatically given because Jesus simply did what the Father wanted Him to do.

Again, referencing Revelation 2 and 3, we can see that we are being tested and rewarded from Jesus who is in Heaven. In fact, it is even hard to call Jesus's death a sacrifice, because it was an action based on faith that either one of the Messiahs acted or will act upon. Again, the action of their faith was the “sacrifice” and not necessarily “The sacrifice” that would be under the terms of the Mosaic Law. I don’t know of many people who would intentionally endure hardship, pain, or suffering for others willingly. It was just by their understanding that it was something that was required of them to do. John 8:31-32,

”Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, ‘You will be made free’?””

Free from the Law, right? But freedom is a two-way door, we can still receive the gifts of the promise (Mosaic Law) and the gifts of faith (good actions/works/grace). I also covered this subject to some degree in the article “Textual Criticism, Ephesians 2.” In conclusion, by those of us who are willing to walk in faith and take actions for the Kingdom of Heaven, we raise each other up to the Glory of the (Union of the) Messiah and the Glory of God. We can chalk up some of this confusion to what is the mystery of our role in regard to the Godhead and ask the questions such as why were certain Scriptures removed from the traditional form of the bible. Ironically, many of those that were removed do not align with Apostle Paul’s teachings.

To reemphasize the importance of all Scripture, whether confusing or not, I will add some of Apostle Paul’s verses for thought. While doing so remember to read [Christ Jesus] as in the [Union of the Messiah] and [Christ] as the [Messiah or Anointed One]. Also consider that these are statements just from Paul himself and not from Peter, James, John or anyone else, just Paul's own words.

Romans 12:1, "I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, on the basis of God’s mercy, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable act of worship."

Galatians 6:2-5, "Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if those who are nothing think they are something, they deceive themselves. All must test their own work; then that work, rather than their neighbor’s work, will become a cause for pride. For all must carry their own loads."

Colossians 3:12-13, "Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."

Romans 2:14, "When gentiles, who do not possess the law, by nature do what the law requires, these, though not having the law, are a law to themselves."

1 Corinthians 3:13, "Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."

Galatians 6:7-10, "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh, but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all and especially for those of the family of faith."

Ephesians 2:10, "For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we may walk in them."

1 Thessalonians 5:11-14, "Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing. But we appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labor among you and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. And we urge you, brothers and sisters, to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them."

Colossians 1:10, "so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God."

1 Timothy 6:18-19, "They are to do good, to be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that really is life."

Romans 2:7, "to those who by patiently doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life,"

2 Thessalonians 2:17, "encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good action and word."

Getting on the same page

What I have been noticing the most lately, and you may be able to see it in regard to the amount of content on the main page, is that most of the issues seem to be with translation "errors" in regard to most traditional bibles, such as that I was using the NKJV. I'm going back and forth between these two Bibles for quick references or just outright reading the ISV version and if I need additional confirmation then looking at the CJB:

(CJB) Complete Jewish Bible, or the

(ISV) International Standard Version

(NRSVUE) National Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Even with these better translations, I'm still not getting a perfect translation. There is one word that was translated from Greek that I don't have 100% confidence in. One could easily argue that there are no mistakes in the Bible, which is true, but if one word could have two meanings... I'll let what I found from a search explain it, "The Greek word chrīstós (Χριστός) means "anointed one" and is used in the Bible to translate the Hebrew word Mašíaḥ (משח), which means "[one who is] anointed". In the Greek Septuagint, chrīstós is a semantic loan used to translate Mašíaḥ." That is what came up in the search engine lookup. What is interesting is that if we were to use a thesaurus to look up the Koine Greek word "Χριστός," its first meaning is "anointed one" and not Christ. This also lends to the fact that they are allowing the "semantic loan" of the word "chrīstós" to mean the same thing as Christ, because it has the word christ in it, but it also actually has the meaning of "anointed one"." So far what my examination has been leading me to is that both Jesus Christ and the coming Son of Man glorified basically can both be referred to as "anointed one," Christ, Holy One, or Son of God. We could refer to Jesus also as the Messiah as the ISV and CJB very occassionally do, but it just makes it a more complicated read. Jesus Himself used the word Messiah to speak of the coming Son of Man. So, this is much easier to just call the Hebrew Messiah the Messiah.

This is another case where there is much analogy or duality of the two. If we want to differentiate them within the scripture, we must consider the context in which it is written. For example, if the word Christ has the word Jesus preceding it, we can be very sure that it is speaking of Jesus Christ as in "Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς" Jesus the anointed one or Jesus the Christ. If the Word is just saying Messiah or anointed one, it is a far better chance that it is speaking of the "Hebrew" Messiah, but again not guaranteed, or it could also be speaking in the role of the duality of the two. Such as we see with the Scripture mixing the phrase Son of Man when it could be referring to either one or both of them. Isaiah 55:8, "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD." As we are trying to figure out what is what when reading the Scriptures, God does not have to interpret His own word. Which means that if He wants to bundle these two Messiahs together as one, He can and will do that. His big "stick."

I added the NRSVUE edition because even though we may assume that the word Christ also means Jesus, it is countered by necessary corrections that were not made in the Bible versions which followed the Textus Receptus. What we really need to do is come out with a version of the Bible that has the philosophy that less is more. So that, we have a baseline of what might have been added to the Scripture out of "corrections" or inappropriate standards.

___________________________________________________________________________

Evidence of Current Times:

However, if we need worldly evidence, one wouldn’t have to look too far. The earth has over 8 billion people right now, and the ongoing conflict in Israel. We can also point to many scriptures that give evidence of a future time, but sticking within the context here, we could use Ezekiel 22:29, "The people of the land have used oppressions, committed robbery, and mistreated the poor and needy; and they wrongfully oppress the stranger." (I would read that whole chapter though). Before a full-fledged conflict begins in Israel, there is the Absolution of Desolation moment which I will discuss shortly, then there is the 3.5 years of prophesizing to the ones who will listen and know, Isaiah 3:11, “And go, get to the captives, to the children of your people, and speak to them and tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,’ whether they hear, or whether they refuse.” After that time of prophesizing, the tribulation begins.

Why is this Happening:

The next question may be why is this happening? The Bible says that it is to get the remaining Christians, else He would as soon as just not let us know (poof, everything is gone). So, you can thank a Christian for more time on earth! When Jesus died for us on the Cross it was actually in preparation for this future event to happen. God had already planned it all out before Jesus even came into the flesh. Since God has to get the faithful out before ending everything, He might as well save as many people who are willing to change their ways as well. Remembering that God has said that the path to heaven is narrow. Thus, some of us who say we are worthy must examine ourselves, because, eh, close might not be close enough, Matthew 7:14, “Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” This isn’t meant to scare anyone, yah right, but if you are getting scared, that is great! Because the Bible also says that fear is wisdom, and to not do evil is knowledge. So, is the Church doing enough to scare us enough, or are they sending us the right messages? Ezekiel 33:6, “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.’”

Watching the watchman:

This means that the Church isn't being diligent enough to inform their constituents about the dangers of being in the grey area of faith ("lukewarm"). Revelations 3:15, "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot." A Church is nothing more than an assembly of people who worship God, and who believe that Jesus Christ to be the only way into the gates of heaven. Watch out for quick changes that some of the Churches will do for the court of public opinion, such that Love, and the Law are separable, ministers speaking of politics or the works of government officials as being Holy acts but not speaking against those doing wrong who hold the power of the pulpit, or the twisting of words to suite their own cause. Even tithes, if the Church does not want to be transparent with what they do with your money, then just give directly to the poor or homeless. This being the primary reason that God has semi hidden the coming of the Son of Man so that He could catch these false prophets off guard, Romans 11:9-10, "And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense them. Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and bow down their back always." As in the person who received the scroll to prophesize with, God is sending out these messages to people right now about what is happening and what is here now.

Revelations 22:6, “And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.” When, the Bible says that “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light,” it does not mean that being a Christian will make life’s yoke easy and that life’s burdens will be light. It means that in addition to life’s issues, there is an easy yoke, and a light burden to being a Christian. The other issue that I have with the church’s teachings is that they infer that “God will never test you,” when in fact, the exact opposite is true. We are tested as individuals and as individuals of a Christian society. Ironically, the very thing that we pretend to do in the workplace, teamwork, is what God wants us to do as a Christian society. He wants us to be a Christian team who lift up each other, and His most faithful servants.

Following God’s Plan:

There isn't anything such as perfect, but by grace one could achieve perfectionism in the eyes of the God Head by walking in the truth to the utmost of their abilities, willing to sacrifice one's life to the end for the sake of God, to value one's connection with Christianity to be more valuable than this life, to love without compare, to follow the sabbath, to do the works through/by spirituality, to continually ask for forgiveness, and then to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to be the one and only way into the Kingdom of Heaven. This type of Christian would follow God’s will by following their own will. This sometimes seems counterintuitive to what the church teaches us as well.

Another way of putting it is that if we don’t know what God’s immediate will is for us, then we should follow His will as we think he would have us do it (hence, our will to do His will). Every decision that we make, every single one, is tracked by the Almighty. How far does a person have to go to enter the Gates? Well, nobody knows but God of course. So, a good rule to follow is to follow a similar path as the Son of Man. Even though His journey was more like a trek, it is a similar path that God wants us to not literally travel, for this person made God angry a few times, but to go to any length to always seek God and to walk in the truth, even if we think that He has turned His face from us for a time.

Prophesized Son of Man:

For the person who is prophesized as the future Son of Man (having an earthly father and mother), he was falsely accused of a crime, but he took the punishment with grace and even told his accusers that he would help so that the crime didn't happen to others. For that reason, he was viewed or treated by society as less than a man as being dead among the living, because of that, he asked God’s permission to be killed, but instead was still living flesh but who died spiritually instead. So as the saying goes, be careful what you ask for, because he was then tested. He descended into Hades (prison is not a man-made one, it's God's spiritual prison, and the ten days is ten earth days, not ten years) as it is written in Revelations 2-3: but Revelations 2:10, "Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life." By going through this trial and passing the test it leads to this passage Job 26:10, “He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness.” Apparently when this future Son of Man descended into Hades, he opened up a path for others to get out, and in general, a path to and from Hades, hence the circle drawn on the boundary of light and darkness. This is like having one foot on earth and the other one in the underworld. In other words, he would be able to see things that were real to him, but that anyone near him may not be able to see, but again this was only while he was in the spiritual prison that he could see the trickery of Satan's enticing power into the earthly environment. If he was only looking into hades, there most likely would be no temptation to yield to that type of unenticing environment.

For both the reasons that society had cast this human being (prospective Son of Man) out, and that he descended into Hades and was spiritually dead, he was referred to in the Bible as a “worm.” After he passed that test, he was spiritually reborn under a new "root of Jesse" (theorized) and received the “Crown of Life” (not theorized). My best attempt to put these two things together would be in going back to Revelations 2-3, in that, when the prospective Son of Man died, he was risen again in the Spirit, this appears to be the opportunity for God to give him a new spirit (reborn) of the line of Jesse. Isaiah 11:10, “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, And His resting place shall be glorious.” If this is too improbable to believe then look at Ezekiel 36:26, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."

He would not have to technically do anything else to enter the Kingdom of Heaven because of the newly acquired Crown, but because of his devotion to God, he acted out of his free will to do everything he could as with the one who has no power, who is a worm, the one with no strength, the Man of sorrows, but because of his utmost devotion, would continue to act for Christ even while he was being tested and watched unknowingly. Although the Bible does not say that everyone has to go to “spiritual prison” to obtain maximum glory/authority, it does show that we have to at the very least be willing to make the sacrifice when called to do so. As this particular person being prophesized backslid, after their initial test, they had to earn God's face - "apple of His eye" favor back again and had yet again endure some hardships under his current tainted visage. For the Bible says that the LORD hid his face from him, Isaiah 54:8, “With a little wrath I hid my face from you for a moment;”

Who Ascended and Descended?

When I first published this article online back in November of 2023, one of the things that the Holy Spirit was revealing to me was Ephesians 4:8-10, “Therefore, He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men." (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)” After looking at it again, I could not say this was pointing to the Son of Man tested or to Jesus Christ, so I took it out as being emphatic, but what is interesting in Ephesians 4:10-11 is how it uses the words “the One” and “He Himself.” When I first read this, I saw it as that the One who descended gave gifts to men in the underworld by His victory to help lead some of the captives out and that by the gifts that Jesus has given us, as we the people, are able to accomplish fantastic things such as this (the gifts given, allowed gifts to be given) Matthew 7:22, “for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes”. Which is interesting because what are we doing, were rebutting the scribes right? Many would have this person as being Jesus and then in Psalm 68:18, "You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive; you have received gifts among men, even from the rebellious, that the LORD God might dwell there." Here again it has the off-tone phrase that “You have received gifts among men.” Why does it not say, "from men" as opposed to "among men", or Does the Son of God need gifts from men? According to many again, the answer would be yes.

For me though, the taking of gifts does not make sense (one receives or gives gifts), and then right below that in the next verse Psalm 68:19, “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation,” key word there is “us” and it does not say to the God of Israel. Some other interesting observations when reading the scriptures is how time seems to be a very important factor and yet in heaven, the concept of time seems to be only relevant to earth, or to add to this confusion that our Lord Jesus Christ allows Himself to be called the Son of Man adds to these riddles such as in Luke 4:21, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing,” when He was speaking of Isaiah 61:1 where again the words “He”, “Me”, “And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;” which again sounds like the person in Revelations 2:13, “I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells,”

This verse also mentions the name Antipas, His faithful martyr, which also speaks to “getting the captives out” who are worthy to be released. “Any-hue”, that isn’t so important that Jesus Christ may or may not have descended into Hades, but that the prospective Son of Man tested did, and that this may not have been possible without the gifts that Jesus Christ has given us first. Even to say, “the Son of Man tested” is hard to differentiate because Jesus was also tested, but His test was not in Hades but on the face of the Earth. Until Jesus Christ was Crucified on the Cross, Satan was still roaming the Earth. Hence, Satan offered Jesus the World, what would Jesus want from of Hell beside to get back out? Now Satan’s powers are limited to His roaming spirit in the form of lies. Then they will say that it was during Pentecost that Jesus went to Hell. Um, I don’t think so, because at that point He was glorified and a part of the God Head again. Luke 23:43, “And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”” Just before casting your vote as to what Ephesians 4:10 is talking about, also consider this passage of Ephesians 4:13, “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to the perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;” This could be even beyond Revelations but the ideological point here seems to be bringing everyone together to increasingly be a part of an ever evolving and growing existence. We can possibly put this into the surmised post New Jerusalem period.

Son of Man Perception:

Picking back up from four paragraphs back, the capitalized version of "Son of Man" means one who could have possibly become like Adam or Eve. Interestingly the Lord Jesus Christ only refers to Himself as the Son of Man who is glorified, being glorified after Crucifixion, but the “Chosen One” is just mentioned as the Son of Man who capitalized. I believe that the "young goat", “Child”, “Chosen one”, gets overlooked, because people are too nervous about mixing up The Lord Jesus Christ with this Son of Man in context. It's confusing but probable to understand, because Jesus who is the Son of God does not mind being called the Son of Man either, but who also considers Himself to be the Son of Man who is glorified. Just before Crucifixion, it appears that He was willing to just call Himself the Son of Man, Matthew 20:18, without the word glorified. It would be much easier for me to just call this other person the “Chosen one”, the Child, or Immanuel, but I wanted to tackle this subject to the best of my abilities. To make things a little bit easier to see, I put down some of the contexts of these within the aside to the right. "Duality" means that Jesus was speaking of either Him or the Son of Man.

So, why does Jesus allow Himself to be called the Son of Man glorified when He is the Son of God? I believe that it was intended from the very beginning that God, as the God Head, was attempting to meet man as close as He could and that meant for Jesus to dip all the way down to the Son of Man status upon His crucifixion. Of course, this makes sense, because the highest authority that either a man or woman could achieve was being given the title of Son/Daughter of Man (hence, returned to the nearest form of Adam & Eve). The Son of Man/arm of the Lord, would be at the very beginning of the preparation to the end times (such as right now, hint hint), the Abomination of Desolation moment which should be approximately 3.5 years or 1260 days, and then return after the 1000 years of Satan being bound (tribulation), and yet the chosen or faithful one, would still have to go through the Lord Jesus Christ to enter the Kingdom of Heaven Revelations 1:18, "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."

Changing of the Guard:

Beginning November of 2023, did any of you notice a change take place, that there was a type of ceremony of the “changing of the guard,” and that family values were partially restored or that there has been some kick back on issues such as gender identification? That was during the seven days. Well from then, you can calculate that period of time, but the tracking of the time is deemed insignificant to the Almighty, Matthew 24:44, “Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” In that, Jesus said to always be prepared. To state one more thing about this Abomination of Desolation moment, this was given to the "Chosen One" as a scroll Ezekiel 3:1, “Moreover He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” Zechariah 5:9, “Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven.” It begins with Ezekiel 8:7, “So he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, there was a hole in the wall. Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall”; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door.” The "hole in the wall" is the "internet," as the wall was represented as the display screen or Layer 4 of the internet. Think about it, four corners of the earth, walk through the wall without looking at the ground, whisper, misfortune prescribed, and in a language not unknown (the internet can translate languages).

Abomination of Desolation:

In Ezekiel 8:3, “He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in vision of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy,”. This was a vision given to Ezekiel of a time to come far into the future, and the scroll told the Child what to say as he is speaking to the "kings/aristocrats," then in Ezekiel 3:4, "Then He said to me: Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them." The "house of Israel" is actually being symbolized as Jerusalem and the world in general, because God is at the point of comparing the Jews to the Gentiles, because they have not obeyed the doctrines/statutes/ordinances. Jeremiah 22:9, ""then they will answer, 'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshiped other gods and served them.'"," so God is actually talking about "Greater Israel," the countries that have Jews and Christians in them and the world in general. Ezekiel 8:9, "And He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing there."" The "wicked abominations," are social media! This event happens over a period of seven days. I know some of you are thinking which social media site.

Any social media site can be used for nefarious reasons, but which one is available to almost every PC upon power up? As stated earlier, somehow by the Child "digesting" the scroll, his words are heard by the modern day "kings/aristocrats" by using social intelligence, and by commenting and replying to posts that were of similar topics on the social media site, until a "new deal" is struck that will set up and allow the post war and 1000 years of peace to succeed. The Son of Man is brought into the Temple to prepare for speaking God's word through the internet to the "wolves." The “banner” is the seven-day period in which the Child/Messenger/Son of Man (flesh born) speaks through “the hole in the wall,” (internet) with the scroll that was given by the Angelic Spirit, and perhaps provoked to anger by the prophet Elijah to initiate the conversation. Matthew 17:11, “Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.”

Zechariah 4:3, "Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: 'Every thief shall be expelled,' according to this side of the scroll; and, 'Every perjurer shall be expelled,' according to that side of it."" Isaiah 13:2, “Lift up a banner on the high mountain, raise your voice to them; Wave your hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.” For being a faithful servant, this person will be given a new name, and then one can see the many illustrious titles given to such a person beginning with messenger, prophet, high priest, Restorer of the Breach, Second Angel, Sun of Righteousness, and it goes on to titles that are even too grand for me to comprehend. What appears to be misunderstood here is that the titles evolve over time. For some of these fantastic titles later received could be gotten beyond even the period of time beyond the Book of Revelations 22, such as there is talk about extending the generation.

___________________________________________________________________________

Do these beliefs separate us?

Matthew 28:18 says, ”And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.””

Let’s examine this. It’s interesting that we can refute the idea of the “King Messiah,” (Son of Man to come) because Jesus has been given all authority, but who is saying that Jesus has more authority than God? If we are going to take this literally, isn’t that also what it is saying? That Jesus has the authority of heaven as well? What I believe this is actually saying is that Our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior has been given the authority of Chief Coordinator or Mediator until the end times. Another reason that He is emphasizing this is because he’s trying to convince His Apostles that He is the one who is in control of all immediate actions, which He is.

There was still work to be done. As in the very next verse, Matthew 28:19, ”Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” As in 1 Corinthians 15:23, “However, this will happen to each person in the proper order: first the Messiah, then those who belong to the Messiah when he comes.”(ISV) The word “afterword” was referring to a time that began 2000 years ago. This means that from the time that Jesus was resurrected, anyone of us could also become resurrected whether it be physically or spiritually, carnally, or terrestrially. Another reflection is that the coordinating authority is given temporarily as in the very next verse. 1 Corinthains 15:24, ”Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.” It even says right here that God the Father will put an end to all rule and authority. 1 Corinthians 15:26, ”The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.”

So, tie that quote to this quote in 1 Corinthians 15:30-31, ”And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour? I affirm by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.” What is this saying? Its saying that when death is defeated that there will be another transition that takes place, because under the current covenant that we have in our Lord Jesus Christ we still have to ask for forgiveness daily less we die in our sins. Under the next covenant, or the last covenant, we will be better off than even Adam and Eve were, because death will be defeated, and Satan will be bound. Now going back to 1 Corinthians 15:27-28, ”For “He (God) has put all things under his (Son of Man) feet.” But when he (Son of Man) says “all things are put under him (Son of Man),” it is evident that He (God) who put all things under him (Son of Man) is excepted. Now when all things are made subject to him (Son of Man), then the Son Himself (Jesus Christ) will also be subject to Him (God the Father) who put all things under him (Son of Man), that God maybe in all."

So, you see that Christ Jesus is giving back to God the Father dominion of both heaven and earth but remember that God the Father is above heaven and before time itself. Jesus Christ has authority over the transition process of restoring heaven and earth, hence the need to have authority to fulfill that task. Now I realize that we are beginning to get theological at this point, but that is what we are really arguing about, the line between these two phrases.

“Lord of Lords, and King of Kings” (Jesus, Heavenly Spiritual Throne, Decedents of Jacob)

-------------------------------------------

”King of Kings, and Lord of Lords” (Son of Man, Earthly Throne, Decedents of Jesse)

It’s been long enough that I’ve had this website up. I’m going to just say this. That second phrase, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords is the Messiah (Jewish Messiah), who is potentially Melchizedek, King of Salem, from Genesis 14:18. The Lord of Lords, and King of Kings is the current Christ or Son of God. He is actually not referred to as being the Messiah, because messiah is just the English translation for the Hebrew word meaning (our righteous). It is my zealously humble opinion that we are either heading towards two covenants or another completely brand new one, but both of these Lords, Christs, Sons of God, will be present during the end times. The anointing is an interesting question though. One would have assumed that Jesus would have to become anointed because of the healing and miracles that He had to do. I think that the counter here is that it would be much more unusual for a “pure human” to become anointed, hence the terminology, the "Anointed One."

We can see that in many locations of the Bible that the concept of Jesus Christ being the one and only Messiah has been forced. For the first reason being that He was not to be called the Messiah at all but yet is still being referred to that. The second point of this narrative being forced, is that there are many places in the Bible where the word Christ was interjected into either replacing the word “Anointed One” or the word “Messiah” itself being translated to Christ. Two examples: for the second situation in Acts 4:26, where it is stating that its quoting Psalms 2:2, yet it’s not even the same as that in the same King James Bible. Psalms says, ”…Against the LORD and against His Anointed…”, and St. Luke has it quoted as, ”…Against the LORD and against His Christ…” Why this mistake? The Greek Bible has a word that looks like Christ, spelled Christos, but it actually means Anointed, and if you translate directly from the Hebrew bible, it also is anointed, but is it a coincidence that that was the only word altered, NO! Let’s add one more, Galatians 3:16, "Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of man but as of one, "And to your Seed," who is Christ". The last part is supposed to read "..."And to your Seed," and this "one" who is Messiah." In case you be wondering where I'm getting these translation errors from, I'm using the ISV (International Standard Version). Why this version? Because it’s translating directly from Hebrew to English and bypassing the Greek translation "errors". In other words, were rebuilding the translation the way it was supposed to be so that we can read the scripture properly. What we are doing is arguing about translation errors instead of what the Bible actually says, complete waste of time, 2000 years of wasted time. Let’s see what the Bible is actually trying to tell us.

Moving to the second example in Revelation 11:15, ”…The Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” To even end it with an exclamation mark for emphasis! But wait a second, this is a mistranslation error as well. Directly from Hebrew to English, it translates as thus, ”The kingdom of the world has become the Kingdom of our Lord and His Messiah and will rule forever and ever!” Wow, look at that exclamation mark! It sure does give it a new meaning, don’t it? It is obvious that if there were two different Sons of God to come during the end times, they sound very similar to each other. Well, why would they not since they are both Sons of God, who are anointed, who have everyone’s better interests at mind, who hold the authority of a covenant, who interceded for our sins, who was pierced/bruised, who healed us by those bruises, and etc.…, right? So of course there is going to be confusion, but I will still try to encompass Isaiah 52 and 53 into my side of our opinions.

So what is the bottom line here in all of this? Why is God upset with us? I have done a short version of a problem/solution analysis like this: 1.) We are currently centered around religion or the "Church"; Solution: Become individually focused on our individual spiritual journeys as in the Temple within us where God wants to reside, and if we are focused on the church, it's to be the Church of LORD Almighty. 2.)We are focusing too much attention from Him, and it comes out into the form of idolization. This can be anything such as money, power, even a candy bar wrapper, a.k.a. marketing; Solution: Turn our focus back to God and do all things for Him, anything that distracts us from that is a distraction that turns into a form of idolization. 3.) We are too divided on the covenants. Judaism thinks that Christianity is worthless, and the Christians think that Judaism is worthless; Solution: Both covenants are important to have. We can't have full knowledge without both of them, it just happens to be that we are currently in the second covenant, but we still adhere to the rules of the first. The Old Testament is full of prophecies that are utterly relevant to the present time. 4.) The Jews must except the second covenant and the Christians must accept the relevancy of the old covenant; Solution: Christians stop following the concept of Jesuitism. It is clear that God who loves the concept of people who work wants us to work for our salvation. He wants us to do more than just relying on the Sacrifice that Jesus Christ made. 5.) There are too many translation errors, whether by accident or intentionally, which is really just wasting everyone’s time and causing more confusion. We are beyond the dark ages now and we should be able to see the Bible in the light; Solution: Translate the word directly from the original texts and use the "less is more theory." I was previously just relying of online translation, but I discovered the ISV version of the bible. If I question that, then I’ll move to attempting to directly translate it myself, but so far, the ISV has been spot on. He wants us to be more, lets pick up your crosses' and get to work!

Interpretations Gone Wild

So, here is one thing to dispute regarding what the churches are reading or how they are reading the context of the bible. The clincher is with verse 1 Corinthians 15:47 where it says, “...the second Man is the Lord from heaven." Guess what, it was translated from Greek or Hebrew incorrectly which cannot be an accident. The word, "the Lord" is not supposed to be in that verse at all, they added it in! Here is the link that I referenced, biblecomments.org and the other link that I cross reference from was at http://ccg.org. So now if one were to go back to 1 Corinthians 15:45 it states, "And so it is written, "the first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit." We need not assume that the last Adam is Jesus anymore, right? I guess that we were supposed to catch this 2000 years later.

I believe that this is why some believe that some things were hidden intentionally such as the books of the Apocrypha. Now let’s look at verse 1 Corinthians 15:49, ”And as we were borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.” Here it is saying that the Son of Man and the Son of God will be the same! Another way of saying this is that eventually Sons of Men will become Sons of God and that can be verified because that is why Jesus was initially called Son of Man, then became glorified, who then became the Son of God. Now look at verse 51, ”Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—.“ What does this mean? It means that some peoples spirits will be transformed before the trumpet is blown, and

• In the Moment,
• In the twinkling of an eye,
• At the last trumpet.

Do these have to happen in sequence? Do all changes have to occur after the trumpet sounds? The mystery is what we don’t know. The “we shall not all sleep” is what we do know. If we put these texts together, while we are saying no, no, no we won’t be changed while not sleeping, what we get is that some of us mere mortals will go right from being potential Sons of Man straight to being glorified. This one seemingly small translation error not only corrects the assumption but puts the ball back into the court of the coming Son of Man, but to add to this interesting perplexity, the second Son of Man (last Adam) is also occasionally referred to as Lord as well.

The point is that there is a very strong push to make Jesus the second representee of Adam. Our Lord Jesus Christ and Savior, the one who holds the keys to victory who is the Son of God who is a part of the God Head, is not the second representative of Adam! How could we even allow ourselves to interpret this that way? If God wanted to put Sons of God on the Earth instead of Sons of Man, he would have done just that. What Jesus did was set up the path for us to follow Him out of sin and to our own personal victories and to be the door to that accomplishment.

I strongly believe that there is a significant difference between being "firstfruits" and "the last Adam." 1 Corinthians 15:23, "But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming." After the last enemy that has been destroyed, which is death, 1 Corinthians 15:27, "For "He has put all things under His feet." But when He says, "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted." This is incredibly powerful, and it even references to the Son of Man (as the purely fleshly born man) from Psalm 8:6, but all of Psalm 8 we can see this coming together.

"Out of the mouths of nursing babes and infants" is a reference to the "child" or of people who were not corrupted by false teachings. Even after Adams fall into sin we see Psalm 8:6-8, "You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen-even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas." This not only lines up with 1 Corinthians 15, but it shows that we as people continue to have dominion over the earth and that it is God's plan to restore us!

When we are restored, everything else is restored. 1 Corinthians 15:54-55, "So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"" 1 Corinthians 15:56, "The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law." What is the law? Here in this context, he is speaking of man's law, that is anything that is spoken that is not inspired from God. Whether it be the law of the government or our false personal perceptions.

Anything that can cause us to feel the sting of death (sin). 1 Corinthians 15:57, "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." God gives us personal victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:58, "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Isaiah 52:12, "For you shall not go out with hast nor go by flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard." Luke 17:37, "And they answered and said to Him, "Where, Lord?" So, He said to them, "Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together"." Luke 18:7-8, "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?" ""I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the Earth?"

As I mentioned earlier, Psalms 110:4 has been referenced as being more associated with Jesus, in regard to Christians, than to be more relevant than to the coming Son of Man. As I've already made my decision regarding this, that it a reference to the Messiah, I wanted to show the one translation that we keep getting caught up in. Hebrews 7:21, according to (NKJV) states, "(for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn And will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek’”)," and Psalms 110:4, according to the (NKJV) states, "The Lord has sworn And will not relent, “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.”," and of course it is backed up by the footnote that points to Psalms 110:4 from Hebrews 5:6 and Hebrews 7:21. Just because those footnotes are in there, it does not always mean that they are being used correctly. Although Jesus is of that order of Melchizedek as stated by God, it is not a reference to Psalm 110:4.

This can be simply proven by providing the correct translation of Hebrews 7:21, straight from the original Greek texts, "He however with an oath through the One, says to Him. 'The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind, You are a priest to the age.'" Alright, so compare that with this from the original Greek texts Psalm 110:4, "Yahweh Has sworn, and will not relent. 'You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.'" This is just another situation where the "translators" are trying to make the Hebrew Messiah to be Jesus Christ. You might say well, that isn't all that important that they are not exactly the same, since it is nearly saying the same thing. Well, that is exactly the type of thinking that has got us 2000 years of confusion. You see, Psalm 110 is tied to Hebrews 1:13 and Hebrews 5:6.

Another very important part of the Scripture is in regard to Luke 4:16-21, "Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where he had been raised. As was his custom, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. When he stood up to read, the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling the scroll, he found the place where it was written, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; he has anointed me to tell the good news to the poor. He has sent me to announce release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to set oppressed people free, and to announce the year of the Lord’s favor.” Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. While the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fixed on him, he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled, as you’ve heard it read aloud.”"

There are a few places in the Bible where the necessities of the past, create the future, and leave us wondering what is really happening. Most Christians readily assume this to mean that Jesus is referring to Himself, but notice two things here. First, He does not explicitly say that He is speaking about Himself, it's an assumption. Secondly, we’re alright with assuming that it can't be speaking about the future, but should we not also assume that it is speaking about the past, what does Jesus say? He says that "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled." It was fulfilled not just because Jesus said it, but because it was heard of Him saying it to them.

Revelation 19:10, "I bowed down at his feet to worship him, but he told me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who rely on what Jesus is saying. Worship God, because what Jesus is saying is the spirit of prophecy!”" This is another way to say that what Jesus does or says is what is releasing the prophecies so that they can occur. Now if we go back to Isaiah 8, where the prophecy of the Messiah is released through the Spirit, to say that a person is being born of the Spirit, then what Jesus is actually doing is releasing the prophecy to occur within their hearing of it.

Communication involves a person who is speaking and a person who is listening. If the Word is the medium of communication, then when Jesus read the words and they heard it, the prophecy which was written in the past, "already occurred." Are our minds starting to blow up yet? It's starting to sound a little bit like one of my favorite movie series, "Back to the Future." If we tie this to the idea that Jesus is forging a "Union of the Messiah" relationship with us, then it could also very well be that He is setting up another Prophecy that will be fulfilled into the future, from a post fulfilled prophecy that He fullfilled "today." Are we starting to see why we can't read the Bible in a verse by verse basis. There are many things happening at the same time.

Lineages, Kings, and Thrones

Introduction:

What is the main point of importance when we compare the two Sons of God to each other? What is going to be the last piece of the puzzle that we employ to say that our puzzle looks like something that we can understand or agree with. This last milestone appears to be in the discussion of thrones. Jesus has a throne that is shared by the Father and Jesus shares a throne for the Son of Man, but if the Davidic Messiah is the son of David, then obviously we can see that the Davidic Messiah is entitled to a throne in the line of David.

Connecting in the Middle:

So, what is going on here? Jesus is referred to as the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings, and the Davidic Messiah is referred to as the King of Kings, and the Lord of lords. The commonality is in the middle of the two statements where the mention of the Kings is at. Another thing that is interesting is in regard to the two Sons of God in Isaiah 8:8.

(CJB) "It will sweep through Y’hudah, flooding everything and passing on. It will reach even up to the neck, and its outspread wings will fill the whole expanse of the land.” God is with us!"

What I found interesting was the word "Neck." Theologian Albert Barnes notes said that Jerusalem was like the Head, to the body of this person (Messiah). "‘The prophet compares Jerusalem here,’ says Kimchi, ‘to the head of the human body.'," (Barnes). We can also compare it to the Godhead instead of Jerusalem, but the point is still the same. As Jerusalem would symbolize the doorway to heaven and the prize.

What is relevant is that this analogy of the meeting of the "body" to the "head," or the two kings meeting in the middle. Another interesting point is that it says that it will, "...sweep through Judah," This also denotes the symbolism of the sharing of territory for a task that must be done. Just as Jesus was given the temporary authority of Heaven and Earth, here the Son of Man is getting the authority of Judah and being a leader of "the arm" of power, but that it cuts short of Jerusalem itself.

Union of the Messiah:

The Root of Jesse is a Branch coming from Jesse, but the Messiah is a representative of the promises of the first covenant. While Jesus is associated with Moses and his servant Joshua who is of the line of Joseph (Jacob's son).

Joshua 24:25-27, (NKJV) "So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. Then Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God. And he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. And Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God.”"

A Messiah Prophesized:

Joshua is representing the precursor to the prophecies for the Son of Man coming. We get that from both the name Joshua itself which is the Hebrew name for Jesus, and we get it from the “jumping” of a non-Levite, or someone who isn’t of the Tribe of Aaron, becoming a Priest. We also get it here where it states, "...it has heard all of the words of the Lord..." which lines up with the prophecy of the Son of Man being reborn and then being anointed with the Holy Spirit so that He can understand the interpretations of the Word. The "...trap and a snare..." is relating to the Abomination of Desolation moment. There are references to the "stone" in Isaiah 8:14.

(NKJV) "He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem."

This is in reference to "...lest you deny your God," and also the connection to the stone being put next to an oak tree and then the reconfirmation of the written covenant.

Matthew 3:9, "and do not think to say to yourselves. 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones."

The Messiah is a representative of the tribe of Judah which is of the line of Manasseh. This new branch appears to not just be coming from Jesse, but that it is connecting a line that has been broken and reconnecting the Tribes of Joseph and Levi. Imagine a connection that connects Levi, Joseph, and David together from the stem of Jesse. So, Jesus has the inherent connection of the Tribes (Jacob), because God is the Father of all, and the Son of Man (Messiah) is the link to reconnect all of the broken tribes together. Hence fulfilling the promise given to Abraham.

Jesus’s Mission:

Matthew 5:17-18, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled."

When the covenant of the Messiah meets the covenant of Jesus we have the new covenant, thus the marriage of the bride and the bridegroom, establishing a co-dependency. It is still possible that there are two thrones, a heavenly throne for Jesus and an Earthly throne (which is currently referred to as a tent) for the Messiah, but after everything comes together, the idea or need to talk about the thrones quickly loses its prestige as that both Sons of God came to serve and not be served. Most likely though there will be a sharing of a single throne as in Revelation 3:21.

"I will let him who wins the victory sit with me on my throne, just as I myself also won the victory and sat down with my Father on his throne."

Jesus’s actions followed something that already happened with Joshua. Jesus was from the Tribe of Priests before He was made a priest of Melchizedek. Joshua was not born a Levite or Aaron or a Priest, he was commissioned as one by Moses. This also goes along the lines that Jesus is inclusive in that there isn't a separation in there being Just Gentiles and Jews but that anyone can be saved, and anyone can become a Priest, if commissioned. Joshua, who was Jesus’s type of predecessor, gave an extension to the old covenant and rewrote the rules for it.

(NKJV) Hebrews 4:8, "For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day."

Conclusion:

Joshua fulfilled an extremely important role in that he was both from the tribe of Ephraim and represented the priesthood. This denotes the ability for us to morph or change our roles. Throne ownership allows us to further explore our relationship with the Messiah, since it will most likely be shared and sealed with a marriage of authority and a new covenant that replaces in part both of the previous ones. Joshua set the stage for Jesus and Jesus sets the stage for the coming Son of Man, and all of this is leading up to the merger of Heaven and Earth.

Houses Undivided

The "The Branch" and the "Root of Jesse" is Mashiach ben David, and of course so is the "Root of David." Mashiach ben Yossef is Jesus Christ with no particular claim to a "Root" unless you want to say that he is the "Branch of God" or "The Vine."

Jeremiah 23:5, Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; A King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgement and righteousness in the earth."

Ezekiel 37:24, ”David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgements and observe My statutes, and do them.”.

Ezekiel 37:15-16, "The word of the Lord came to me: Mortal, take a stick and write on it, “For Judah and the Israelites associated with it”; then take another stick and write on it, “For Joseph (the stick of Ephraim) and all the house of Israel associated with it”; and join them together into one stick, so that they may become one in your hand."

Look at the wording, "That I will raise to David a Branch...," it is not saying from David, then in Ezekiel it says, “David My servant…, ” I don’t think that God is referring to Jesus as His servant, but in the sense of this duality role such as the one “big stick” as mentioned in the preceding verses. The object being to combine both the houses of Judah (Hebrew Messiah) and the house of Joseph (Jesus Christ) to establish a larger house of both Jews and Gentiles and a perfect salvation.

The Root of Jesse" and "The Root of David," interestingly each phrase is only mentioned once in the whole Bible with the near exception where in Revelation 22:16,

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give this testimony to you for the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star."

So, let’s begin with that statement. Jesus says that he is the "decedent/offspring" of David. I was trying to find the key difference between these two roots to more clearly define that there was more proof of the "Anointed One" who is differentiated from our Lord Jesus Christ. How many times have we seen the same verse over and over again and its meaning never changes? The Holy Spirit led me to the meaning of a verse that we should have all seen.

Mark 12:35-37, "While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked, “How can the scribes say that the Messiah is David’s son? David himself said by the Holy Spirit,

Psalm 110:1, ‘The Lord told my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.”’

Mark 12:37, David himself calls him ‘Lord,’ so how can he be his son?” And the large crowd kept listening to him with delight."

This is saying many things. First, it's saying that there definitely is a Coming Messiah, Jesus even uses the word, Messiah. Here is where the translation part plays into the issue. Most Bible's have the word "Christ" where it should read Messiah. That is why I'm recommending one of the two Bible's above mentioned for study or to just outright replace the current versions. Not only does Jesus say there is another figure, but He also states that it is not to be confused about the "branch of Jesse" to the "Branch of David." He then backs that up with verse 37 where He asks a question that we are asking each other to this day.

How can Jesse be David's Son, yet we somehow blindly go on believing what the Churches are pushing in spite of the evidence from Jesus Himself! As if that isn't enough, Verse 36 is a prophecy mentioned within the same context who is speaking of the "Son of Man" to come! If we can't see this, we truly have been blinded. How many times has Psalm 110 been referenced to be speaking about Jesus? And clearly here Jesus is saying that it is prophecy of the coming Son of Man. In addition to this, it gives much more credence that almost all of the Psalms are about the Son of Man to come.

Coincidence or not, I am beginning to see many more articles out there about the two Redeemers / Lords/ Kings / Sons of Man / Anointed ones since I began this website back on October 27th, 2023. It was taboo to mention such a thing, and now. We are producing evidence! Everything points to [Two], two tribes, two Sons of Men, Oholah and Oholibah, Samaria and Jerusalem, Ephraim and Judah, Levi and Aaron, riding on a donkey and coming in the clouds, Root of Jesse and the Root of David, Child and the Lamb, Lion and the Lion's whelp, Christ dying so that we can return from the dead and the Son of Man being resurrected from the dead, daughter of Zion and daughter of Jerusalem, Bridegroom and Bride, and Isaac's two other Sons Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz and Remnant of Israel.

We should also point out that in Matthew 21:2, we have Jesus telling His disciples to get a donkey and a colt which is to symbolize that there is another rider to come, or who may be yet unseen, but in the presence of Jesus, such as the Son of Man who will be coming in the clouds. To note more similarities between the two Redeemers look at

Revelation 22:16, "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give this testimony to you for the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star."

In Revelations 2, the individual who gets tested in Hades receives the morning star as well, "just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star." The Hebrew Messiah also has a lampstand which is a symbol of His own church as in

Revelation 2:5, "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent."

To bring these two things together, we have 2 Peter 1:19, "Therefore we regard the message of the prophets as confirmed beyond doubt, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp that is shining in a gloomy place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts."

Jesus says that He has sent His angel to speak for Him. The Hebrew Jews now know that the Messiah will come from the "Root of Jesse," so when Jesus is stating that He is the "Root of David," He is also stating that He is not the Messiah. In the very next verse Revelation 22:17,

And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts "Come!" Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely."

The Spirit and bride is most likely the Messiah in Angelic form, and He is saying "Come!" and take the water of life freely.

Evolving with the Spirit

As I believe that the Holy Spirit has aligned me to interpret the Scriptures through a more transparent Lense, it has also brought me back to full circle in some ways. The first is that we can take the words Messiah, Christ, and anointed ones as being or meaning the very same thing. This being a bit ironic since many of us have already made up our minds that these words are interchangeable, but for only one person, Jesus Christ. Eventually we just keep going around in a circle of syntactics. That is to say why we get confused in regard to the way that we read the Bible is because in some parts of it, we will not understand everything until the very end. This is mostly apparent in regard to the two Christs being so tightly woven together that they are impossible, in many ways, to separate. At the same time, it is very helpful to separate these two Christs for the sake of what we are reading and what it means to us. In some places it is very helpful to separate the two in regard to what chapters and verses are speaking of which Christ. At the same time, we get to some chapters, especially verses, where it's not productive anymore to do this task.

Even though I will still stand on Psalm 110 in referring to the Hebrew Messiah, we can see here that there is some “bleeding over” between the two, and of course we can see these analogies occurring in Isaiah 52 and 53 as well. Even if we could concur that these were written specifically for one Messiah or the other, there would still be the Bible's version of blending the two for their duality of meanings. The chapters and verses that finally got me to the point of understanding that there are limits to our ability to separate the two, was in the Book of John. In John 4:25-26,

The woman told him, “I know that the Anointed One is coming, who is being called ‘the Messiah’. When that person comes, he will explain everything.” “I AM,” Jesus replied, “the one who is speaking to you.”

Later it occurred to me that when Jesus says "I AM," it's because He represents the Union of the Messiah as in the cases where the Bible will say Christ Jesus instead of Jesus Christ. Another item that speaks to this evolving, whether it be from the written word or our interpretations of it, is that it is interesting that this inability to separate the two Messiahs is happening synchronously with Him speaking to the woman at the well. There are few cases in regard to the written word where there aren't other types of dualities of meaning occurring.

Is it also not difficult to separate the Woman’s place within the church from what they are truly capable of? This all speaks to the unseen dynamics of the bible that it isn’t something that is stagnant, but which is evolving over time. Let’s use another analogy. We have to take a written document that does not change and transform it into the Living Word. Our minds are capable of this in regard to how our eyes can only see two dimensions, but our brain translates that information into three dimensions. Isn’t that what we are doing in regard to the written word? We are translating it into a dynamic document. Nevertheless, these transformations are occurring slowly, to us, or in stages, but if this is not the “end game,” it is at the very least near the end of it where these transformations would become more noticeable. With that being said, and like being said, it is important to keep trying to separate these Messiahs for the sake of contrast.

If, there is another unseen event to occur with the Hebrew Messiah, the people could not know of it. It is utterly hidden. For example, it was known that the Hebrew Messiah was the one who broke the curse of the Law and established the Promise, but in Ephesians 2:12-18 it states,

"At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from citizenship in Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise. You had no hope and were in the world without God. But now, in union with the Messiah Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of the Messiah. For it is he who is our peace. Through his mortality he made both groups one by tearing down the wall of hostility that divided them. He rendered the Law inoperative, along with its commandments and regulations, thus creating in himself one new humanity from the two, thereby making peace, and reconciling both groups to God in one body through the cross, on which he eliminated the hostility. He came and proclaimed peace for you who were far away and for you who were near. For through him, both of us have access to the Father by one Spirit."

Here this is making it impossible to separate the two contextually. It is clearly stating that Jesus is the body who unites everything, but does that mean that there isn’t a surprise waiting for us? Certainly not! as Apostle Paul likes to say, but going back to John 4:25-26 and comparing that to the previous verse, look at what it says. "But now, in union with the Messiah Jesus which of course is saying exactly the same thing as "Christ Jesus," very cool right!

Later, adding this to the topic, I noticed that there was a "tweaking" of the new covenant or at least to say, "straightening" of it as a vision was given to Saul in verses between Acts 9 and 22. If we were to read Acts 9:15-16, "But the Lord told him, “Go, because he’s my chosen instrument to carry my name to unbelievers, to their kings, and to the descendants of Israel. Since I’m going to show him how much he must suffer for my name’s sake", we would assume that Jesus is speaking of the "Him" being Saul.

In Acts 9:22, the NKJV of the Bible replaces the word "man" with the word Jesus. It's these assumptions or syntactical changes that can cause our entire interpretation of the Bible to change for how it was meant to read. Again, although Jesus is the Mediator of the Union of the Messiah's, it does not necessarily mean that Saul is speaking about Jesus but another Messiah to come. Look how this does not fit. Jesus is speaking of either (Saul or / another Messiah). Where Saul is speaking of either (Jesus or / the other Messiah to come). Clearly, we can see how Saul and Jesus can't be the same person, but the coming Hebrew Messiah can be the same person.

Are you confused yet. You may have to brush off your old logic books to see it, but in the Codex Sinaiticus, the word Jesus is added in for the word "man" in Acts 9:22, because the scribe wanted to assume that this was the same person. If there was going to be a correction of the New Covenant, it certainly would have been with what is coming and not with what has came. Once Saul heard of this new authority, the Holy Spirit immediately shared this new revitalizing power with him.

As you can see, this could also fit under the category of transcription errors, especially considering that the scribe added to Jesus's words in Acts 9:5. "It was hard for you to kick against the goads" was maliciously added in. Who would have the audacity to either add or subtract from Jesus's words? This also goes back to the subject of how much harm the Textus Receptus has done to current translations since the 1500's, and how it has negatively impacted God's Word to our full revelations.

Lines Being Blurred

As society becomes more polarized politically, and as the church begins to move itself into this polarization, the church is becoming more politicized. That is to say, embedded into the mentality of the world. Interesting or not, we can see how this fits into the equation in regard to societies march toward the “mark of the beast” where everyone, including the churches, are fully embedded into the world or the survival mentality. We can also verify this in the educated guess that the “church” would still be around during the mark of the beast, even though the Bible clearly states that anyone with such a mark will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Hence, the churches indirectly supporting this de-evolving by even partially accepting it, lukewarm.

For example, I recently heard on NPR that there are Christians out there who are beginning to think of politicians as profits or even as the anointed one. This is an example of the churches’ movement toward politics and is an exhibit 'A' that they are skewing in the wrong direction. What might appear to be a hypocrisy on my part, in that I’m against speaking about politics and religion simultaneously, it’s an example of how the conversation is being forced upon us.

Specifically, since everything that I have been putting up is about the coming of an Anointed One. This is forcing the conversation, in that I have to specifically say, that the Hebrew Messiah has not been revealed yet, and it most certainly would not be a reckless politician. By the churches saying these things, they have distorted what is actually happening in regard to the unrevealed Messiah or the significant role that Prophets have played for the Kingdom of Heaven. There’s no mystery in regard to people who are in the public spotlight. The hypocrisy is in regard to the churches saying no, there isn't another Messiah but Jesus, and then suddenly and most conveniently, use their elected politician to be this person.

I’m not disappointed that I get the opportunity to show actual evidence of the church’s corruption, but it does disappoint me that after spending so much time and effort in attempting to educate us of the other unspoken Messiah, that I have to divert to saying that it isn’t a politician. Although the timing of this website and the false revelations of wrongfully raised prophets is interesting. So that we don’t just speak of this madness without a better conversation, I’ll use this opportunity to expand the premise.

Exhibit ‘A’, the churches move toward politics, is actually Exhibit ‘B’ in that the catalyst for what has caused us to move into this direction is the churches’ move toward materialism. What’s the point of who is elected if our pockets aren’t fat, or what is the point of preaching half-truth if it does not make the few wealthier? It could be pride, or pride could have something to do with it. Synergy has a life-force of its own especially when attached to a personal view of fame.

How does that saying go, if we forget the past then we are bound to repeat it? The Jewish Scribes were so caught up into tradition, that there was the hard link between that tradition and the way of their existence, to not live in fear of earthly things. If we begin to lose the fear of God, then we consciously or subconsciously begin to slide into a posture that appears to give us defense against the world. To not fear poverty or being an outcast without the power to be a part of the controlling group.

Since the church is the primary “representative” of our combined communication with God and in some cases even the possessor of original Scripture, it is very difficult to separate what the church is doing incorrectly. But as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. If the church is moving in the wrong direction, then this becomes the Prince of the World best game or playground. As in that technology is a double-edged sword, so is mass communication even in regard to the worshipping of God. I was reading Nehemiah today, and I saw something interesting that stuck out.

Nehemiah 8:15-17, and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, “Go out to the mountain, and bring olive branches, branches of oil trees, myrtle branches, palm branches, and branches of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.” Then the people went out and brought them and made themselves booths, each one on the roof of his house, or in their courtyards or the courts of the house of God, and in the open square of the Water Gate and in the open square of the Gate of Ephraim. So, the whole assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness.

There is this association between the branches, the booths, and our individual relationship with the Almighty. So, this all just becomes some kind of spiritual logistics question. How do we spread the gospel of God to others and put our own personal relationship with the Almighty first and foremost? This is like one of those conundrum questions that has no one right answer. It reveals what the sin of man has irreversibly done against the direct relationship with God and how we are continuously attempting to correct it without perfection. In attempting to use “worldly remedies” to correct spiritual damage, we are unwittingly moving ever further away from solving it.

Certainly one of the most positive outcomes of the technology of the internet is our ability to freely communicate without having to be present in another physical location. Where there can be the free exchange of ideas or information such as the Bible or the Codex Sinaiticus. Even that, the internet is becoming “platform” based or influenced by currency, but as of this minute, I think that the internet is much more useful for this purpose in that it allows us to still freely exchange information and Scripture. The point is that we don’t necessarily need the churches to get the gospel out. Why do we even need a building? Let’s just set up chairs in random locations and let people share their knowledge with us.

I think the more random the better. If God or the Holy Ghost is the one who is directing us, then how will Satan be able to keep track? We need to bust Satan’s maze and put Him into the maze of God. Our sacrifice does not have to be tithe. Our tithe could be our personal time or money that we put into these events. The “sacrifice” does not have to be represented as money, but this is almost certainly our exhibit ‘C’ into the churches corruption in that they would have us believe that it has to be worldly currency that is given. Think about that one for a minute. The tithe that the church would have us do, allows them to keep control of the sacrifice.

In other words, we can’t do anything on our own without the church. If you give money, you may not have the time to sacrifice in other aspects because as they say, time is money. By giving money, you’re giving your time, but it’s not necessarily being represented as what sacrifice to God that You want to give. As in the Scripture that I pointed out in Nehemiah 8, when they took the time to gather the branches and build the huts and pray one on one with God, that was the sacrifice that God wanted, their personal time with Him.

Right now, God is not pleased with us because we are not showing enough brotherly or sisterly love, so another great way to give, if you want to do it financially, is to give to a good organization that actually does help the poor or homeless. I refrain as much as possible from advertising anything here. So, I can’t say what I found but take the time to shop around and don’t just open your wallet to the first organization that you see, unless you see a great one the very first time. Look for something that is unique or new and come back and check up on them to see how they are doing, OR volunteer for them. Very interestingly, you might find that you don't have enough time for the earthly churches.

Exhibit 'D' of the church’s corruption is in that they have removed the Apocrypha from most current versions of the Bible. It is quite ominous that they were taken out because they were meant to be "hidden" from the public view, so they hid them. So, the question is the answer, but it was about control. They don't want you to think that it is about You, but about the church. Think about it, before the age of the internet, they could have and did pull it off, that is to hide the Apocrypha. Now they are available for everyone to see, and they are still removed?

What isn't connected

There are patterns of tying everything to a single Messiah, Jesus, and then we reinterpret the meaning of versus to tie this together. We will begin with the "Pentecost" and this other word "Advent." Pentecost makes sense in that it marks a very significant moment under very special circumstances that will not be repeated in the same way, but the word "Advent" is starting to get a little sketchy in that it is marking tradition, waiting for something to happen again, and being kind of enthusiastic about the end times. I would argue that all three of the reasons for advent celebration are actually not what God wants, but alright burning candles to celebrate four weeks before Christmas doesn't sound so bad.

An issue that is larger than those is that "people/ministers" want to tie Acts 1:4, Luke 24:49, and Isaiah 32:15 together. Acts 1:4 and Luke:24:49 do belong together, but Isaiah 32:15 does not. Why is this important? The modern Christian church wants to make everything about a single entity, Jesus. Hence to do this and to tie Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz into the picture, they are tying in this verse to the first and second coming of Jesus, hence there being a Messiah, but it is Jesus's second return. It fascinates me that we must keep both the concept of the Messiah and Jesus separated but always bringing the two back together again as if they are not separate.

Clearly the Holy Spirit is telling us to keep these two issues separate, but because of tradition, and whether we are proving to the Jews of old or to ourselves, we then reassemble the two ideas back together into one and never think for a second that something doesn’t seem correct. I'm writing this section to potentially point out some of these errors beginning with Isaiah 32:15,

"until a spirit from on high is poured out on us, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest."

This moment in Isaiah is about a prophecy that has not occurred yet. Yet it's being applied to being about the Pentecost because of the attempt to make Jesus the one and only Messiah. The time of the Pentecost is a period of celebration and positive change. The moment in Isaiah 32 is about the end times during Revelation. It's about things being upended or turned upside down. The wilderness represents the hope of the non-deceived but yet the outcasted people (of the church), and the few who are dwelling in the wilderness will be under the protection of God.

"My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places."

Which sounds very similar to Ephesians 2:6,

"raised us up with him, and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus"

Now notice that when we are sitting in heavenly places we are sitting near Jesus and that we are saved by grace. In Luke 24:49 Jesus is sending the Holy Spirit upon us so that we can receive this grace, but grace isn't instantaneous, it's earned by proving our faith through works. What happens in Isaiah 32 happens before either of the Messiahs returns to earth. It is saying there will be an extra pouring out of the Spirit. One that could be as noticeable to the ones in the forest as it was to the apostles when the Holy Spirit descended during the Pentecost. I would say as noticeable because although it may not be as instantly powerful, it will make up for that in its persistence of being with His Holy Ones.

The Book of Isaiah is the book of contention between the Messiah and Jesus and is one of the reasons that we refer to both Messiah and Jesus in that they are two different concepts, yet we say they are the same thing. In other words, we don't know but we pretend that we do know, because of the synergy of the earthly churches telling us about the same thing through tradition and countless media sources. We are regurgitating what we hear so often and so loudly that it is a fact to us (synergy). Hence as in the case of using a word such as "Advent," be wary of traditions. Why do we need one day to say, "I love you" when we can say this every day. Think about the boxes that we put ourselves into and usually we are not the ones who own the box (deep think).

I'm praying that the Holy Spirit would help me to understand what I don't know, and one of the most recent things that just came to me is extremely interesting. If you look at the KJV of the verse in Hebrews 4:8,

"For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."

Now look at the same verse in most of the newer versions such as the NKJV Hebrews 4:8,

"For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day."

Do you see that the footnote says that Jesus is the same word as Joshua. If we look at the Codex Sinaiticus and the Nomina Sacra shortcuts, we only see the two letters IC, IU, IY, IV, IE. This brings up another fascinating point in that some of the Nomina Sacra actually means Joshua and not necessarily Jesus. One could argue that they mean the same thing according to Hebrew translation, but one of the issues of translating is the issue of transliteration. As in the word Messiah can represent different people at different points in time under different circumstances. Also, the word Joshua could either mean Jesus Himself or it can mean or refer to the priestly line of Aaron and the Levites, since Joshua took over for Moses as his student (commissioned a priest), or it could even be another form of XC, XU, XY, XV, XE or in the Union of the Messiah.

The reasons for the scribes to use the Nomina Sacra is very suspicious in itself. The reasons are that they didn't want to invoke the names of God, or they were saving space. For the sake of saving space does not make sense at all. To not invoke the name of God kind of makes sense, but would not God know how He is being represented? That doesn’t make much sense either. Clearly, they would not use the words IC or XC in the synagogues; so, that is all very suspicious as well.

Biblical studies from Church, Related to Subject

Church question: Can God directly intervene on the earth?

Genesis 1:26, ”Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth?”

The church assumption being that only Man has authority over the earth, but God has intervened several times in the affairs of man as in the Word being spoken to Noah, Abraham, and Moses. He has also sent Angels of great power to the earth such as the one who intervened between the Jews and the Egyptians at the crossing of the Dead Sea, or God causing the great flood. So, it is then difficult to fully concede that only Man can influence the earth.

What I do find interesting though is this: when He says, "Let Us…" He is implying that there was already more than one authority in heaven. Such as the “firstborn,” Melchizedek, we could say that He had the authority to intervene on earth for God as well. Let’s begin with Exodus 14:19,

”And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.”

What is also interesting here is that this “Angel” was able to create light toward the Jews, and darkness on the side of the Egyptians. As being related to the creation of light in the beginning. An Angel of Light and Darkness. Then if we fast forward in time and compare that to Isaiah 51: 9-10,

”Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD! Awake as in the ancient days, In the generations of old. Are You not the arm that cut Rahab apart, and wounded the serpent? Are you not the One who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that made the depths of the sea a road for the redeemed to cross over?”

We saw this in the previous verse and also in Genesis 14:18-20, ”Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: ‘Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most Hight, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.’ And he gave him a tithe of all.”

Melchizedek was both a Priest and King and had the authority to intervene for Abram. He is also representing a covenant by bringing out bread and wine with the assumption of it being on a table. The blessings would be a type of anointing. If God could not intervene because of what was spoken in Genesis 1:26, then it was Melchizedek who was intervening, but the point being that God could intervene through other figures.

__________________________________________________________________________

Research question: do we have to submit to our government or king?

Romans 13:1, ”Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore, whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.”

So it begins like this, a little tiny bit of programming for you:

class SinofMan {

   government = good;  Christian = good;

   if (government == bad) {

     glorytoGod = Christian + government;

     return glorytoGod;

   }

}

The suggestion being that we have to follow the rules of the authority of the government before our own will. When we put it like that, it already sounds bad before we even make an argument, but what happens if the Christian does the very thing that the government wants and what the government is doing is bad. Well then, the Christian isn’t good anymore, they are bad. It may be easier to imagine doing this in a functioning democracy, which we frequently take for granted, but what if were not in a democracy or our King is not approved by God? We have to keep in mind that The Book of Romans was literally written to the Romans. We are allowed to discern what we read or how it is being contextually applied.

The Christian can’t do exactly what the government wants, because then They would be saying that the Government is God. The Bible is not meant to be read two dimensionally, and for some reason, this is what we try to do. How can the Bible be the Living Word if we put its words to have a static meaning. The government is led by God and the Christian are led by God, so whoever is upsetting the balance is the one who is breaking the covenant with God. Did Jesus not say give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar? Is that not a form of rebellion? Apostle Paul did not know everything.

Since we asked for a King to rule us, then that is what we got. What God is saying is that since there must be someone or something appointed to rule, and we chose a king, then we as people must look first to that authority so that there isn’t a vacuum of authority. Our suffering is in conflict, but hopefully our conflict is less with the authority, but in a democracy, who is the authority, us! We are the ones who create conflict, but we argue to ourselves that we don’t like it. Are we trying to live in a perfect world without God? Can the Righteous and the sinner live in harmony under man's law? What the Bible is saying is that don't stir up trouble for the sake of trouble, trouble will find us by doing the right thing.

Church question: Did Jesus do all the mighty and miraculous things on earth as a human being with delegated authority and power from God or did He do these things as God Himself in a human body?

Jesus Christ represents the transition process for man, the example path that should be taken. He made the blueprint for us to follow. He began as a child, grew up, and taking on more and more authority and knowledge from his Father. He transitioned from the Son of Man to the Son of God. When He sacrificed himself on the cross, He became the Son of Man glorified, or the Son of God. So, to answer the above question, He was given powers from God through a specialized type of anointing. Remember that Enoch and Elijah both had powers bestowed upon them.

__________________________________________________________________________

Research challenge: John 3:35, ”The Father loves the Son and has put everything in his hands. The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who disobeys the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.”

Again, this goes back to the possibility of there being two Messiahs, hence two Sons. I guess to be fair so that we are not solely concentrated on just one person or two, we should emphasize that both Jesus and the “King Messiah” represent a transition process that any mortal has the capacity to obtain. It was by their sacrifices that they became glorified, and we must remember that in both cases, it came at a cost so high, that most of us would not want to pay it, else there would clearly be more than one or two Sons of God, but notice that it says that through Jesus and the covenant of both faith and the promise, we all can become “sons of God,” but to point out another awesome verse from Psalm 2:12,

”Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.”

Clearly this is implying that there is another Son of God, lest it also be Jesus, but I doubt it since Jesus was the one who administers the test in Revelation 2-3, and points to Psalm 2:9 as a reference to the Son of Man who in my opinion is glorified upon completing the second part of his test.

__________________________________________________________________________

Research Challenge: John 13:3, ”Because Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his control, that he had come from God, and that he was returning to God,”

Again, this is pointing out that Jesus is the Chief Mediator of the encapsulation of the covenant by the Promise and the one by Faith. Another verse for example 1 Corinthians 15:24-25,

”Then the end will come, when after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power, the Messiah hands over the kingdom to God the Father. For he must rule until God puts all the Messiah’s enemies under his feet.”

All of the authority becomes centralized again under the Godhead. This makes sense right? If God is using these two Messiahs for His work on Earth, then when the work is finished, the authority goes back to God. Jesus has temporary authority over Heaven and Earth until all things are settled. I also want to take this opportunity to dispute the theorized “Trinity” concept. If the “Trinity is based off of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, then there are only two possibilities, Either the concept is flawed altogether because there were already two in the beginning, then came Jesus and the Holy Ghost, or we have to think of all potential Sons of God to be the same entity. I think that it is dangerous and irresponsible to represent the Godhead as just three entities, notice that I use the word Godhead which is a word that is actually in the Bible.

Research Challenge: Ephesians 1:20-23, Which he brought about in the Messiah when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realm. He is far above every ruler, authority, power, dominion, and every name that can be named, not only in the present age, but also in the one to come. God has put everything under the Messiah’s feet and has made him the head of everything for the good of the church, which is his body, the fullness of the one who fills everything in every way.

The first issue is in the translations. The NKJV lean this all toward just Jesus, but what is happening is that the two Messiahs, who are separate, are merging and becoming one under the "Union of the Messiah," as in the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lords, the Lord of Lords, and the King of Kings. The plan is to bring heaven and earth together. What better way to do this than for each one to meet halfway and then to have a banquet? I could use a good meal, anyone else?

We have become so entrapped into the snare of what has been taught to us, that all we are trying to do is save face and hold on to what we know "may" not be true. But isn’t that the synergism of society that keeps perpetuating the process and not allowing us to fully interpret what we are reading? Even more ironic to this. while the Calvinists are trying to interpret that this gives all and perpetual power to Jesus, we are not seeing something that is proving the opposite. Ephesians 1:22,

"God has put everything under the Messiah’s feet and has made him the head of everything for the good of the church,"

Psalm 2:8-9, ”Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”

Revelation 2:25-26, ”And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’ as I also have received from My Father.”

Isaiah 52:11, ”Depart! Depart! Go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go out from the midst of her, be clean, You who bear the vessels of the Lord,”

Psalm 110:1-2, ”THE LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!”

Jesus does not want to rule the world, He is a part of the Godhead. Although both earth and heaven will come together, they will still be two different places or entities within the Kingdom of Heaven. If man is to rule the earth, then the earth is his footstool and if it has a King, then it will have an earthly Messiah. One Messiah who represents heaven and one Messiah who represents the earth.

Research Challenge: John 17:1-2, ”After Jesus had said this, he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, so that the Son may glorify you. For you have given him authority over all humanity so that he might give eternal life to all those you gave him.”

Combination of two things here, the first is that as we are speaking of two Messiahs or two Christs, at any point in time Jesus could be referring to a duality of Sons. To reflect how Jesus was trying to show the significance of the Messiah and how much God truly loves humanity, Some of Jesus's last words on the cross were from Matthew 27:35 where it says,

"Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: 'They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.'"

This is a verse, from Psalms 22:18, that runs from the Old Testament to the New Testament, then going the other direction from the New Testament to the Old One, Jesus repeats the words from Psalm 22:1 in Matthew 27:46, "...My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" The relationship between the two Messiahs is at many times meant to be inseparable or in unison. For Jesus would not repeat His own words twice, even prophetically. He is actually using the words of the other suffering Servant.

Secondly as stated previously, Jesus’ authority was as a Mediator for the transition process. We have to read this in context which brings us to John 17:4, ”I glorified you on earth by completing the task you gave me to do.” We could also repeat 1 Corinthians 15:24-28. In fact, this is another opportunity to point out verse 28 as a reference to the “King Messiah” in 1 Corinthians 15:28, ”But when everything has been put under him (King Messiah), then the Son himself (Jesus Christ) will also become subject to the one who put everything under him (God), so that God may be all in all.” "In all," is referring to both of the Union of the Godhead and the union of mankind to the Kingdom of Heaven and the Earth and Heaven becoming one again.

Research challenge: John 1:1-3, ”In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. Through him all things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.”

There isn’t anything here that says that this was Jesus in the Spirit. If I had to guess of such a thing, I would guess that it was the Holy Ghost that was being referred to here, but that guess is most likely wrong. Melchizedek was the “firstborn,” and there are references to Him being a part of the creation of the world. I would like to refrain from such speculation and to just say that there isn’t any evidence that the Word and Jesus are one in the same. This is another one of those themes that could actually prove the opposite of what one wants to believe, but Jesus did say that He was present before the creation of the world and, of course, I believe Him.

Question from the Church: At what point in Jesus’s human life did he receive his authority over all things?

My best guess would be when he was resurrected from the dead and He became glorified, hence the transition from Son of Man to the Son of God. As they wanted Him to use His authority before He was ready and that he replied that it was not of His time yet.

Conclusion:

For those who wanted an answer to the Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz question, this entire article is about that same person, and it means swift to the spoil, quick to the plunder. Because Israel turned away from following God's statues, Isaiah was given two sons that were not by his flesh, the first son was represented as the people of Israel (a remnant shall return), and the second son the “Chosen One” birthed by a virgin prophetess. This chosen Son of Man had to be birthed by an earthly father and mother, but it was for a birth that would take place far into the future. When this person's spirit dies, he is reborn with a new spirit and his new Mother is Israel and his new Father is God. Even beyond the birth of Jesus, but this person would be Chosen by the Godhead, which would have included Jesus, much further after His resurrection. The swift to the spoil and quick to the plunder fits very well with the type of person who would be the High Priest Warrior King who will come just before or with Jesus Christs return. He will be the one who is "like" Melchizedek

Hebrews 7:13-17, "For the person we are talking about belonged to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar. Furthermore, it is obvious that our Lord was a descendant of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests coming from that tribe. This point is even more obvious in that another priest who is like Melchizedek has appeared who was appointed to be a priest, not on the basis of a genealogical registry, but rather on the power of an indestructible life. For it is declared about him, “You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”"

One of the things that I found most interesting when studying the Scripture for this purpose is that God says that the Son/Daughter of Man sits on the Right Side of the Poor. Matthew 20:16, “So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.” Our glory is only achieved by giving the glory to others such as our Lord Jesus Christ, or in this case to the poor. No matter how esteemed one can become in the eyes of the Father, the poor will always be greater and stand on the left side of us. I believe that the Beatitudes speaks a lot as well to this, Matthew 5:3-10: "

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy,

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

As much of this news may sound gloomy, it is not meant to be taken as such for us who believe in the New Covenant. As this is all in preparation for the New Jerusalem, and the new earth in general, but it is also not meant to be that we should look forward to this day either, but to be prepared for it always. I have added two other articles to the aside to the right. If you click on the second option, it will give a "map" of how to become this type of Christian who seeks to be closer to God. This leads me to the conclusion of this article, but I will be adding more as time goes on and hopefully making some DIY improvements to this website as well. Prophesize, the time is upon us!

Other useful information

This is a very good reference though, Codex Sinaiticus. I'm still confident that we will find some mistakes in the Textus Receptus, but what I said that were entry errors earlier, were not errors. I didn't see the conjuntion line above the abbreviation for the "IV," which is also an abbreviation for Jesus. In the Codex it will have a horizonal line above it which denotes it as an abbreviation. If you do use the Codex though follow these instructions: when you go into their website TURN OFF the "previously translated" page on the bottom that says "translated," that may not be a pure translation of the Codex but taken from another individual. Do your own translation work into the portion on the upper right that has been translated into koine Greek.

Hebrews 3:1, "οθεν αδελφοι αγιοι κληϲεωϲ επουρανιου μετοχοι κατανοηϲατε τον αποϲτολον και αρχιερεα τηϲ ομολογιαϲ ημων ιν."

Abbreviations such as IΣ, IX, IC, IY, IU, IV shortcuts that mean "Jesus." IHΣOYΣ is the word for Jesus in the form of the "Nomitive/Subject." Here the abbreviation would be IΣ because it uses the first and last letter of the word, and it would have a line above it.
