 So this is part three on our Gospel of the Holy Twelve. We are going to be reading through sections five and six. That is, Lections or Verses 41 through 60. So starting with section five, Lection 41. Jesus seteth free the caged birds, the blind man who denied that others saw. And Jesus was going to Jericho. There met him a man with a cage full of birds, which he had caught and some doves. And he saw how they were in misery having lost their liberty. And moreover being tormented with hunger and thirst. He said unto the man, What dost thou with these? And the man answered, I go to make my living by selling these birds which I have taken. And Jesus said, What thinkest thou if another stronger than thou, or with greater craft, were to catch thee and bind thee? Or thy wife, or thy children, and cast thee into a prison in order to sell thee into captivity for his own profit and make a living? In my opinion that sounds a little bit like what we would call human trafficking today. Are not these thy fellow creatures only weaker than thou? And doth not the same God our father, mother, care for them as for thee? Let thee, thy little brother and sisters, go forth into freedom and see that thou do this thing no more, but provide honestly for a living. So once again Jesus is referring to the creatures of the earth, our animals, as our brothers and sisters. Again as we talked about last week in this gospel he's often saying that the same breath that we breathe is the same breath as the animals that God created them as conscious living beings as his children just as he created man to be his children. Verse 5 goes on and said, And the man marveled at these words and at his authority and he let the birds go free. So when the birds came forth they flew unto Jesus and stood on his shoulder and sang unto him. And the man inquired further of his doctrine and he went his way and learned the craft of making baskets. And by this craft he earned his bread and afterwards he break his cages and his traps and he became a disciple of Jesus. And I just want to point out throughout this whole gospel the name Jesus is spelled the way that it would have been spelled back in this time. Jesus is the English adaptation of this person we call Jesus's name. His actual name as most people know was Yeshua. We also see a lot of the other disciples names throughout this gospel spelled in their correct way. Obviously names like Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are not typical names you would have seen in the Middle East at this time. It's I do want to make that that clear that as I read this I am reading the English adaptation of the names. All right it goes on with verse seven and Jesus beheld a man working on the Sabbath and he said unto him, Man if thou knowest not the law and spirit but if thou knowest not thou art accursed and a transgressor of the law. And Jesus said unto his disciples what shall be done unto these servants who knowing their Lord's will prepare not themselves for coming neither do according to his will. Verily I say unto you thou that know thy master's will and do it not shall be beaten with many stripes but they who do not know their master's will do it not shall be beaten what with the few stripes to whomever much is given of them much is required into whom little is given from them little is required. My mother used to say that all the time growing up to us for whom much is given much is expected. Verse 10 says and there was a certain man who was blind from birth and he denied that there were such things as the sun moon and stars or that color existed and they tried in vain to persuade him that other people saw them and then they led him to Jesus and he anointed his eyes and made him see and he greatly rejoiced with the wonder and fear and confessed that before he was blind and now after this he said I see I know everything I am God God with a lowercase g. And Jesus said unto him how canest thou know all thou canest not see through the walls of thine house nor read the thoughts of thy fellow men nor understand the language of the birds or of beast thou canest not even recall the events of thy former life conception or birth. So once again we have this indication of reincarnation that we are blind to our own story our ego within the confines of this one particular life will not allow sometimes our spirit to understand that our spirit is eternal and keeps coming back again in this cycle of life. So very interesting. I know from my own studies of the ancient christian faith that reincarnation was very much spoken about in the early christian church you can actually find reference to reincarnation in the canonized bible in the book of luke. Verse 13 says remember with humility now how much remains unknown to the unsee and doing so thou mayest see more clearly. So we see more clearly when we're more humble to the fact that we don't know anything really. So we're going to go on to election 42. Jesus teaches concerning marriage and the blessing of children. And it came to pass that when Jesus was finished these sayings he departed from Galilee and came to the coast of Judea beyond Jordan and great multitudes followed him and he healed them there. The Pharisees also came unto him tempting him and saying unto him is it lawful for a man to put away a wife for every cause. And he answered and said unto them in some nations one man hath many wives and puteth away whom he will for a just cause. And in some a woman hath many husbands and puteth away whom she will for a just cause. And in others one man is joined to one woman in mutual love and this is the first and the better way. Now remember prior to this we encountered the woman who committed adultery and that is the same story from the Bible where Jesus said, ye who is without sin may cast the first stone. So he's really emphasizing that no man should have multiple wives no woman should have multiple husbands and neither one of them should be putting the other away as in stoning or whatever because this should be mutual love that a man and a woman or a couple should be one unit in spirit. In verse four he says, for have you not read that God who made them at the beginning made them male and female and said for this cause shall a man or a woman leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife or his husband and they shall be one flesh. So again children leave their parents and then mate with their partner and become one flesh. None is greater than the other it's mutual love. Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God have joined together let no man put asunder that sounds familiar right that's in the marriage vows. Verse six says they say unto him why did Moses then command to give a writing for of divorcement. He saith unto them, Moses became of the hardness of your heart suffered you to put away your wives even as he permitted you to eat flesh for many causes from the beginning this was not so. So he's pointing out that Moses made some mistakes because Moses was was a man he was corruptible just like all men are fallible even the best of men are also fallible and corruptible. Goes on in verse seven and I say unto you whoever shall put away a wife except it be for a just cause shall marry another in her place committed adultery. His disciples say unto him if the case of a man to be with his wife is not good to marry but he say unto them all cannot receive the saying save they to whom it is given for there are some celibates who were born from their mother's womb and there are some which were made celibates of men and there are some who have made themselves celibates for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive let him receive them and I also have to say with like divorce I don't think that God cares if we divorce because of abuse or because of any other bad bad bad things within a marriage because remember God Jesus before the divorce statement said that you have to love each other but there has to be love there and when there's cruelty or abuse there is no love so I'm thinking when the whole divorce thing he's really condemning the idea of oh my god you're just bored with your wife and so you're divorcing her for someone else if that is adultery I don't believe that when there is no love in the marriage or there is trauma in the marriage and there needs to be divorced to keep somebody safe I believe that that is totally fine with God. Verse nine says then there came unto him little children that he should put his hands on them and bless them and the disciples rebuked them but Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of heaven and he laid his hands on them and bless them and then he entered into a certain village there he met him ten men that were lepers which stood afar off and he lifted their voices and said Jesus master have mercy on us and when he saw them he said unto them go show yourselves unto the priest and it came to pass that they as they went they were cleansed and one of them when he saw that he was he'll turn back and with a loud voice glorified God and fell down on his face and at his feet giving him thanks and he was a Samaritan and Jesus answered saying were there not ten cleansed but where are there nine they're not found that returned give glory to God save this stranger and he said unto him arise go thy way thy faith have made thee whole so after these lepers were healed these ten lepers only one came back to give thanks to God interesting. Lection 43 Jesus teacheth concerning the riches of the world and the washing of hands and the eating of unclean meats and behold one came and said unto him good master what good things shall I do that I may have eternal life and he said unto him why callest me good there is none good but one and that is God but if thou will enter into life keep the commandments he saith unto him which be they and Jesus said what teaches Moses thou shall not kill thou shall not commit adultery thou shall not still and thou shall not bear false witness honor thy father the mother and thou shall love thy neighbor as they self the young man saith unto him all these things I kept from up my youth what lack I yet and Jesus said unto him if that will be perfect go and sell that thou hast in abundance and give to those who have not and thou shall have treasures in heaven and come and follow me but the young man heard that saying he went away sorrowful for he had great possessions ye more than satisfied his needs then Jesus said unto his disciple verily I say unto you that the rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven and again I say unto you it is easier for a camel to go through the gates of a needle's eye than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of heaven but his disciples heard that they were exceedingly amazed saying who then can be saved but Jesus beheld them and said unto them for the carnal mind that is impossible but with the spiritual mind all things are possible so again it's not David and I talked about this it is not money it is not being rich that is bad it's the love of the money it's the love of the riches that are bad it's it's being able to depart with your possessions and be okay with it because it's your spirit that you're trying to make whole not your earthly flesh again this goes back to some gnosis which we're going to see a lot of this idea of gnosis or inner knowledge verse seven says and I say unto you make not yourself friends of the mammon again mammon is worldly possessions of unrighteousness that were ye fail that may receive you into their earthly habitations but rather of the true riches even the wisdom of God so that ye may be received into everlasting mansions which fade not away again that's referring to gnosis and then Peter said unto him behold we have forsaken all and followed thee and Jesus said unto them verily I say unto you that ye which have followed me in regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit at the throne of his glory ye shall also sit upon the 12th thrones judging the 12 tribes of israel but the things of this world is not mine to give you so God is not of the earthly world again that is the nature world and I it's interesting he says the regeneration it's like we talked about that last week the regeneration of the soul this idea that the soul keeps living that we keep living and growing it's not a do or die situation it's a growing relationship with God throughout each life verse nine says in everyone that hath forsaken riches houses friends for the kingdom of heaven's sake and its righteousness shall receive a hundred fold in the age to come and shall inherit everlasting life but many that are first shall be last and many that are last shall be first and there came unto him a certain scribe of the Pharisees who had seen one of his disciples eat with unwashed hands and they found fault for the Jews eat not except they have the first wash in their hands and many other things observe they in the washing of the cups and of the vessels of the tables and they said why walk not all thy disciples in the tradition of the elders for we saw one who did eat with unwashed hands and Jesus said well hath Moses commanded you to be clean and keep your bodies clean and keep your vessels clean but ye have added things which oftentimes cannot be observed by everyone at all times in all places harken unto thee therefore not only unclean things entering into the body of man to file man but much more do evil thoughts and unclean which pour from the heart of man to file their inner man and to file others also therefore take heed of your thoughts and cleanse your hearts and let your food be pure so the cleanliness isn't just referring to the physical body being clean actually in all spiritual face they talk about the physical body being clean yoga especially we are to clean all the time but that's just the matter being clean we're talking about purity of what we eat so not eating meat again that's what he's saying you're defiling yourself by eating dead animals that were God's children too but also keeping your thoughts pure as well verse 15 says these things ought to eat to do and not leave the others undone who so break at the law of purification of necessity are blameless for they do not of their own will neither despising the law which is just and good for cleanliness in all things is great pain but ye not followers of evil fashion for the world even in appearance for many are led into evil by the outward seeing and the likeness of evil and this brings us now to section five election 44 again we're reading from the gospel of the holy 12 one of the band books of the bible election 44 says the confession of the 12 in this gospel we are going to see a lot of information pertaining to the corruption of the church today verse one says again jesus sat near the sea in a circle of 12 palm trees where he oft resorted and the 12 and their fellows came up upon him and they sat under the shade of the tree and the holy one taught them sitting in their midst and jesus said unto them ye have heard what men in the world say concerning me but whom do you say that i am peter rose up with andrew his brother and said thou art the christ the son of the living god who descended from heaven and dwelleth in the hearts of them who believe and obey unto righteousness and the rest rose up and said each after his own manner these words are true so we believe and jesus answered them saying blessed are ye my 12 who believe for flesh and blood have not revealed this unto you but the spirit of god which dwelleth in you i indeed am the way the truth and the light and the truth understandeth all things so again this is another reference to gnosis or inter-knowing the flesh and blood being matter being property and the spirit being something completely different again that's perusha from the east verse 4 says and all the truth is in god i bear witness unto the truth i am the true rock and on this rock i do build my church and the gates of hades shall not prevail against it and out of this rock shall flow rivers of living water to give life to people of the earth year my chosen 12 and me the head and the cornerstone are the 12 foundations of my house build it on the rock and on you and me shall my church be built and in truth and righteousness shall my church be established and ye shall sit on 12 thrones and send forth light and truth to all the 12 tribes of israel after the spirit and i will be with you even into the end of the world verse 7 says and this is an important one guys this to me resonates with what's happening today in our world but there shall arise after you men of perverse mind who shall through ignorance or thought craft suppress many things which i have spoken unto you and laid to me things which i never taught sowing tars among the good wheat which i have given you to so in the world then the then shall the truth of god endure the contradictions of sinners for thus it has seen and thus it will be by the time cometh when the things which they have hidden shall be revealed and made known and the truth shall make free those which were bound one is your master all ye are brethren and one is not greater than another in the place which i have given unto you for ye have one master even in christ who is over you and with you and in you and there is no inequality among my twelve and their fellows all are equally near unto me strive ye not therefore for the first place for ye are all first because ye are the foundation stones and pillars of the church built on the truth which is in me and in you and the truth in the law shall ye establish for all as shall be given unto you verily when you and your fellows agree together touching anything in my name i am in the midst of you and with you woe is the time when the spirit of the world entereth into the church and my doctrines and proceeds are made void through the corruption of men and women woe is the world when the light is hidden woe is the world when things shall be that's the time we're living in it started with constantine and here we are now we know that the church is corrupt we know that we just we know it verse 13 says at that time Jesus lifted his voice and said i think the oh most righteous parent creator of heaven and earth and though these things are hidden from the wise and the prudent they are nevertheless revealed unto babes no one knoweth thee save the son who is the daughter of man no one know the daughter or the son save they whom the christ is revealed who is the two and one come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and i will give you rest take my yoke upon you and learn of me for i am meek and lowly and heart and you shall find rest upon your souls for my yoke is equal and it is easy and my burden is light so he's saying that his yoke is equal that reminds me a lot of the um gospel of thomas where thomas was diddy mass or the twin where jesus was saying that we are also children of god just as he is that we are his twin in god's eyes so this goes down to election 45 seeking for signs the unclean spirit verse one says then certain of the scribe and of the pair Pharisees answered saying master we would see a sign from thee but he answered instead unto them an evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign and there shall be no sign given to it but the sign of the prophet jonas yay as jonas was three days and three nights in the wells belly so shall the son of man be three days and three nights in the hearts of the earth and after he shall rise again verse three says the men of neneva and neneva is what we would call iraq today it's modern day iraq shall rise in judgment with this generation out and and shall condemn it because they repent at the preaching of jonas and behold a greater than jonas is here it's interesting because there's a lot happening with like iraq and iran right now that is definitely under the surface of our underlying uh world war three as it were that we're in right now most people listening to this are totally aware of what i'm talking about verse four says the queen of the south shall rise up in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it for she come from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of salomon and behold a greater than salomon is here again he said when the unclean spirit is gone out of any he walketh through dry places seeking rest and finding none it's seith i will return into my house from whence i came out and when he is calm he findeth it empty and swept and garnished for they ask not the good spirit to dwell within them and be their great eternal guest then he goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they enter in and dwell there and the last state of all such is worse than the first even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation which refuses entrance to the spirit of god for i say unto you whoever so blasphemeth the son of man it shall be forgiven then but whose blasphemeth the holy spirit it shall not be forgiven them either in this age or the next for they resistant the light of god by the false tradition of men while he yet talked to the people behold his parents and his brethren and his sisters stood without desiring to speak with him then one said unto him behold thy father and thy mother and thy brethren and thy sisters and without desiring to speak with thee but he answered and said unto him that told him who is my father and who is my mother and who are my brethren and my sisters and he stretched forth his hand towards his disciple and said behold my father and my mother my brethren and sisters and my children for who shall ever shall do the will of my parent who is in heaven the same is my father and mother and my brother and my sister and my son and my daughter and there were some Pharisees who were covetous and proud of their riches and said unto them take heed unto yourselves and beware of covenants for a man's life is consistent not in the abundance of the thing which he possesses and he spake a parable unto them saying the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully and he thought within himself saying what shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits and he said this will do I will pull down my barn and build greater and there I will bestow all my fruits and my goods and I will say to my soul thou hast much good laid up for many years take time easy and drink and be married but God said unto him thou full this night thy life shall be required of thee then who shall the those things be which thou hast provided so are they to lay up treasures for themselves and are not rich and good works to them that needed but are in want so we see a lot here in the gospel of the holy twelve we see a lot about vegetarianism not eating meat we also see a lot about making sure we're not putting all of our desire into worldly possessions again I don't believe that money is evil itself I don't think it's it's wrong to be rich I think it's the love of money it's the desire to have money and power over all things that is evil after all rich people are the people that give us jobs that keep the economy going you know I never got a job from a poor man so money itself is not wrong it's just the idea of hoarding that money that is wrong flexion 46 is the transfiguration on the mount the giving of the law after six days when the feast of the tabernacle was night at hand jesus take it the twelve and bring them up into the high mountain apart and he was praying in the fashion of his countenance was changed he was transfigured before them and his face did shine as the sun and he was white as the light this reminds me a lot of the Bhagavad Gita with Arjuna and Krishna when Krishna transforms in front of Arjuna and it becomes so powerful that Arjuna can't look at him because his human eyes cannot behold the sight of the purity of God verse two says and behold they are appeared unto Moses and Isaiah talking with him and spade of the law of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem so Moses and Isaiah is talking with God with Jesus and they're talking about this law where his death would accomplish his life and that would happen in Jerusalem interesting verse three says in Moses spake saying this is of whom I foretold saying a prophet from the mist of my brethren like unto you shall the eternal sinned unto you and that which is eternal speaketh unto him shall he speak unto you and unto him shall he harken and those will not obey shall bring themselves to their own destruction then Peter said unto Jesus Lord is it good for us to be here if thou wilt let us make here three tabernacles one for thee and one for Moses and one for Isaiah while he spake behold a bright cloud overshadowed them and twelve rays as the sun issued from behind the cloud and voice came out of the cloud which said this is my beloved son and whom I am well pleased hear ye him and when the disciples heard it they fell into their faces and they swore amazed and Jesus came in touch them and said arise and be not afraid when they had lift up their eyes they saw no man save Jesus only and the six glories were seen upon him verse seven says and Jesus said unto them behold a new law I give unto you which is not new but old even as Moses gave the 10 commandments to Israel after the flesh so I give unto you the 12 for the kingdom of Israel after the spirit for who are the Israel of God even they of every nation and tribe who work righteousness love mercy and keep my commandments these are the true Israel of God and standing upon his feet Jesus spake saying here oh Israel Jova thy God is one many are my seers and my prophets in me all live and move and have substance ye shall not take away the life of any creature for your pleasure nor for your prophet nor yet torment it ye shall not steal the goods of any nor gather land and riches to yourself beyond your need or use ye shall not eat the flesh nor drink the blood of any slaughtered creature nor yet anything which bringeth disorder to your health or senses uh well there you go we shouldn't be wearing masks then because masks don't allow us to breathe right ye shall not make in pure marriages where love and health are not nor yet corrupt themselves or any creature made pure by holy ye shall not bear false witness against any nor willingly deceive any by a lie to hurt them ye shall not do unto others as you would not do unto others should do unto you you shall worship one eternal the father mother in heaven of whom all things and receive thy holy name you shall revere your fathers and your mothers on earth whose care is for you and all the teachers of righteousness you shall cherish and protect the weak and those who are oppressed and all creatures that suffer wrong you shall work with your hands the things that are good and seemingly so shall ye eat the fruits of the earth and live long in the land you shall purify yourselves daily and rest on the seventh day from labor keeping holy the Sabbath and the festival of your god so remember the Sabbath was always Saturday it was Constantine that changed it to Sunday which Sunday is again the day of the sun god or raw or horse so again we see a reference again back to Saturday or the Sabbath ye shall do unto others as you would do that others should do unto you he's repeated that twice now that's super important right we all learn that when we're in kindergarten do unto others as you would have them do unto you treat others the way you would want to be treated that's a the golden rule right and we see he's repeated this now twice very important and when the disciples heard these words they smoked upon their breasts saying where and we have offended oh god forgive us and may thy wisdom love and truth within us incline our hearts to love in keenness holy law because again we see Jesus talking about the the main law being one of love and David and I spoke about that last week it's like the two commandments we see in the canonized bible where Jesus says love thy god with all their heart and love each other as I have loved you if you do things in love in pure love for other people which is the face of god that pure love then you will you will keep all the commandments because you don't want to hurt anybody you want to you want to treat people the way that people should be treated verse 23 says and Jesus said unto them my yoke is equal and my burden light if ye will to bear it to you it will be easy lay no other burden on those that enter into the kingdom but only these necessary things this is the law unto israel of god and the law is within for it is the law of love and it is not new but old take heed that ye add nothing to this law and either take away from it verily I say unto you they who believe and obey this law shall be saved and they who know it and obey it not shall be lost it's interesting we're coming into a time with the nisara where we're going to be going back to common law or constitutional law right now we are as most people understand we are under maritime law not just here in America but all over the world and constitutional law or common law is a law of divinely inspired understanding it's basically you don't steal from me I don't steal from you you don't hurt me I don't hurt you you don't murder me I don't murder you very very simple right it's pretty much what God is saying here these laws of love also bring back sovereignty to every man in every nation verse 25 said but as in Adam all die so in Christ shall make all be alive we've talked about that before the god of the Israelites which again he talked about the Israelites right being everyone not just the people of Israel but all people who adhere to the law of love and Christ is the one that came to serve the god of life not the god of death and the disobedient shall be purged through many fires and they who persist shall descend and shall perish eternally and as they came down from the mountains Jesus charged them saying tell the vision to no man until the son of man be risen again from the dead his disciples asked him saying why then say the scribes of Eliza must come first and Jesus answered and said unto them truly shall come first and restore all things and I say unto you that Isaac he's come already and they knew him not but I've done unto him whatever they listed likewise shall also the son of man suffer to them then the disciples understood that he spoke upon them John the Baptist this is referenced in the book of Luke as well and I actually remember this from bible studies in the book of Luke there is a reference to the same story where Jesus takes his disciples up onto the mountain and is talking to them and he says that you know John the Baptist he's he was Elijah he came back that's reincarnation and we've seen that spoken about here in the gospel of the holy 12 as well and of course as I've said there are references to reincarnation in the canonized bible if you look at them closely and read them for what they are of course they don't use the word reincarnation but the word reincarnation is just the vocabulary word to describe the returning of a spirit the returning of a soul and in my opinion that makes more sense coming from a loving God it doesn't change the faith in God it doesn't change the core belief in Jesus it just means that our lives on earth are longer and possibly more complex than we know they are when we're in a particular life I hope that makes sense lecture 47 says the spirit giveth light the rich man and the beggar and when they came down from the mount one of his disciples asked him master if a man keep not all these commandments shall he enter into life and he said the law is good and the letter without the spirits is dead but the spirit maketh the letter alive take he heed and you obey from heart in the spirit of love and all the commandments which I have given unto you it hath been written thou shall not kill but I say unto you if any hate and desire to slay they are guilty of the law if they cause hurt or torture any innocent creature they are guilty but if they kill to put it into suffering which cannot be healed they are not guilty but they do it quickly and in love so again if you have to kill if you're being attacked or you see something suffering he's reiterating if you have to kill to extend mercy if you see an animal that's on death's door and it's in pain and you have to put it out if it's misery or if you have to protect yourself you do it quickly you do it in mercy you don't torment anything it hath been said thou shall not still but I say unto you if any not content with which they have desire and seek after which is another's or if they withhold that which is from the worker they have stolen in their heart already and our guilt is greater than that of one who slayeth aloof in necessity to satisfy his hunger so again it's that wanting that gluttony that wanting of greed of of another's that jealousy that's also a sin it's hard to do right it's hard to not be jealous verse five says again ye have been told thou shall not commit adultery but I say unto you if a man or a woman joined together in marriage with unhealthy bodies and beget unhealthy offspring they are guilty even though they have not taken their neighbor's spouse and if any have not taken a woman who belonged to another but desire in their hearts and seek after her they have committed adultery in spirit and again I say unto you if any desire and seek to possess the body of any creature for food or for pleasure or for profit they defile themselves thereby ye and if a man telleth to his neighbor in such wise as to lead him to evil even though it may be true in the letter he is guilty walk ye in spirit and thus shall ye fulfill the law and be meet for the kingdom let the law be within your own hearts rather than on tables of the memorial which things nevertheless ye ought to do and not to leave others undone for the law which I have given unto you was holy just and good and blessed are all they who obey and walk therein so that reminds me like you know like in modern times and growing up in the Presbyterian church I'm sure this is true of all the flavors of christianity the denominations of christianity probably all religions if I'm being completely honest people are kind of grandfathered into a faith right it's just your culture it's what you know we've talked about that on the dark outpost being Protestant here in the south where we are mostly Protestant very few Catholics but mostly Protestant it's a social thing it's a social gathering it's a part of your cultural surrounding and so Jesus is saying that when you leave the law on the table of the memorial so like the laws are spoken about in the church but they're not practiced really during the week that makes sense to me you see that a lot and that's why I feel like the church and probably all religions have become corrupted because it looks like the at the heart of christianity as well a lot of other religions is this idea of love and being in love and mercy and human beings sometimes have a hard time doing that so that's interesting that he's already talking about that two thousand years ago I guess that it's true that humans just never change right so verse nine says god is spirit and they who worship god must worship in spirit and truth at all times and in all places and he spake this parable unto them who were rich saying there are certain rich men who clotheth in purple and find linens in fared every day okay so we talked about purple that's the um the Phoenicians the canaanites right because of the the dye that's on that area of the world the purple dye and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid his gate full of sores and desired to be fed with crumbs which fell from the rich man's table moreover the dogs came and licked his sores the dogs were taken care of Lazarus and he came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angel into Abraham's bosom the rich man also died and was buried with great pomp and in Hades he lifted up his eyes being in torment seeth Abraham far off in Lazarus in his bosom and he cried and said father Abraham have mercy on me and sin Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in his place but Abraham said son remember that thou in thy lifetime receivest thy good things in likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted and now art tormented and thus are the changes of life for the perfecting of souls and besides all this between us and you there is a great goal fixed so that they which would pass from hints to you cannot neither can they pass to us that would come from then till their time be accomplished and he said I pray thee therefore father that thou would send me him to my father's house for I have five brethren that he may testify unto them least they also come into his place of torment Abraham said unto him they have Moses in the prophets let them hear them and they say nay father Abraham but if one went unto them from the dead they will repent and Abraham said unto him if they hear not Moses and the prophets neither will they be perished though one rose from the dead election 48 Jesus feedeth 100 with five melons heals the withered hand on the Sabbath day and it came to pass as Jesus had been teaching the multitudes and they were hungry and faint by reason of the heat of the day and they are passed by one that way a woman on a camel laden with melons and other fruits and Jesus lifted upon his voice and cried oh ye that thirst seek ye the living water which cometh from heaven for this is the water of life which those who drink a thirst not again and he took the fruits five melons and divided them among the people and they ate and their thirst was quenched and he said unto them if God makeeth the sun to shine and the water to fill out these fruits of the earth shall not the same be the sun of your souls and fill you with the water of life seek ye the truth and let your souls be satisfied the truth of God is that water which cometh from heaven without money and without price and they who drink shall be satisfied and those whom he fed were one thousand men women and children and none of them went home hungered or a thirst and many that had fevered or healed and at this time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the cornfields and his disciples were and hungered and began to plunk the ears of the corn to eat and when the Pharisees saw this they said unto him behold thy disciple do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day and he said unto them have he not read what David did when he was hungered and that and that were with him how he entered into the house of God and did eat the bread which was not lawful for him to eat neither for them which were with him but only for the priest or have he not read the law how on the Sabbath days the priest in the temple do the work on the Sabbath and are blameless but I say unto you that is the place is oh great in the temple so he's obviously pointing out the hypocrisy right that if you know rules for me but not for thee if you gotta work on the Sabbath you gotta work on the Sabbath right verse nine says but if he had known what this meaneth I will have mercy and not sacrifice ye would not have commended commended these guiltless for the son of man is the Lord even in the Sabbath and he was departed thence and went into their synagogues and behold there was a man which had in his hand withered and they asked him saying is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days and they might accuse him and he said unto them what shall there be among you that shall have but one sheep and if it fall into the pit of the Sabbath day will he not lay hold on it and lift it out and if ye give help to sheep shall ye not also be a man that needeth wherefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath day then sayeth he to the man stretched forth thine hand and he stretched it forth and it was restored to the whole like as the other so Jesus is healing again when the Pharisees went out and held a counsel against them how they might destroy him but when Jesus knew it he withdrew himself from thence and a great multitude followed him and he healed their sick and affirmed and charged them that they should not make it known so it was fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet saying behold my servant whom I have chosen my beloved and who my soul is well pleased I will put my spirit upon him and he shall sow judgment to the Gentiles he shall not strive nor cry neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets a bruised reed shall he not break and smoking flak shall he not quench till he sent forth judgment unto victory and his name shall be the gentiles shall trust that's me I'm a Gentile election 49 the true temple of God and the feast of the Passover was at hand and it came to pass that some of the disciples being masons were set to prepare excuse me one of the chambers of the temple and Jesus said yay it is beautiful and well wrought are the stones with a time cometh when not one stone shall be left on another for the enemy shall overthrow both the city and the temple little foreshadowing as to what's to come with the Jewish war but the temple is the body of a man in which God dwelleth by the spirit and when the temple is destroyed in three days God raises up a more glorious temple which the eye of the natural man perceives not so again he's also referring to the temple not really being a place but being us our bodies no ye not that ye are the temples of the holy spirit and whoso destroyeth one of these temples shall be himself destroyed and some of the scribes hearing him sought to entangle him in his talk and said if thou wouldest put away the sacrifice of sheep and oxen and birds to what purpose was this temple built for God by Solomon which has been now 40 60 years and restoring so they're talking about like how there were animal sacrifices happening in the temple and now Jesus is really hammering the point not to do that and now they've been spending all this time restoring this temple but it's going to be destroyed anyway like what's the point and Jesus answered and said it is written in the prophets my house shall be called a house of prayer of all nations for the sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving but you have made it a house of slaughter and filled it with abominations yeah that's happening in our churches now today right we have abominations again it is written from the rising of the sun into the setting of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles think about that guys so a Gentile is anybody who's not Jewish so I'm not Jewish I'm completely of European descent as a white American I'm a Gentile most of you listening are probably Gentiles now at this point when Jesus was here in alive you know doing doing his thing 2000 years ago this was all very much an Abrahamic Jewish faith the Gentiles the Romans were conquering or the bad guys at this point right and Jesus is saying just hold on like my name is going to resonate with all men and we see that now that would must have been a really hard concept for the disciples back then to understand that this Jewish faith was going to become one of the main religions followed by even the Gentiles it goes on to say but you have made a desolation with your offerings of blood and use the sweet incest only to cover the ill savor thereof I come not to destroy the law but to fulfill it so again he's talking about how these animalistic and human sacrifices are just not okay that he was the sacrifice leave innocent blood alone know ye not what is written obedience is better than sacrifice and to hearken them the fat of rams I the lord and weary of your burnt offerings and your your vain oblations your hands are full of blood and is it not written what is the true sacrifice wash you and make you clean and put away the evils from before mine I cease to do evil learn to do well do justice for the fatherless and the widow and all that are oppressed so doing ye shall fulfill the law the take cometh when all that which is in the outer court which pertaineth to blood offerings shall be taken away and the pure worshipers shall worship the eternal impurity and in truth and they said who art thou that seeketh to do away with the sacrifice and despiseth the seed of Abraham from the Greeks and the Egyptians hath thou learned this blasphemy and Jesus said before Abraham was I am and they refused to listen and some said he is inspired by a demon and others said he is mad and they went their way and told these things to the priests and the elders and they were wrath saying he hath spoken blasphemy we come now to lection 50 Christ the light of the world verse one says then spoke Jesus again saying I am the light of the world he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness but shall have light of life the Pharisees therefore said unto him thou bearest record of thyself thy record is not true so the Pharisees are questioning Jesus Jesus answered and said unto them though I bear record for myself yet my record is true for I know when I come and whether I go but ye cannot tell whence I come and whether I go ye judge after the flesh I judge no man and yet if I judge my judgment is true for I am not alone I came from the father mother who sent me it is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true I am one that bear witness of myself John bore witness of me and he is a prophet and the spirit of truth that sent me beareth witness of me they say unto him why where is thy father and mother Jesus answered ye neither know me nor my parent if you had known me ye would have known my father and my mother also and one said show us father show us mother and we will believe thee and he answered saying if thou hast seen my brother and felt his love thou hast seen the father if I have seen my sister and felt her love thou hast seen the mother so the law the law of love is God that's a line from Victor Hugo's limits rubble to love another person is to see the face of God far and near the all holy knoweth their own ye in each of you the fatherhood and the motherhood may be seen for the father and the mother are one in God these words spoke Jesus and the treasury and he taught them in the temple and no man laid hands on him for his hour was not yet calm then says Jesus again unto them I go my way and ye shall seek me and shall die in your sins whether I go ye cannot come then said the Jews will he kill himself because he said whether I go ye cannot come and he said unto them ye are from beneath I am from above year of this world and I am not of this world I said therefore unto you that ye shall die for your sins for if you believe that I am not God ye shall die in your sins so basically he's saying like if you don't believe that I'm here to die for you and pay your price then you're gonna have to pay your own price then said they unto him who art thou and Jesus said unto them even the same that I am unto you from the beginning and the same year is felt with the capital S so again I believe that's referring back to didimus or the gospel of thomas where he says we are we are the same we are the same as Jesus we are children of God Jesus just came to remind us of that and they said I have said many things to say which shall judge you but the holy one that sent me is true and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from above and Jesus said unto them when ye have lifted up the son of man then shall you know that I am sent from God and I do nothing of myself but as the whole all holy have taught me I speak these things who sent me is with me the all holy have left me alone for I do always those things with pleasure pleasing the eternal and as he spoke these words many believed on him for they said he is the prophet sent from God him led us here and that concludes section five so now we are moving on to section six this starts off with election 51 the truth maketh free then Jesus said to those Jews which believed him if ye continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed and ye shall know the truth and the truth make you free they answered him we are Abraham's seed and we're never in bondage to any man how say thou ye shall be free and Jesus answered them verily verily I say unto you whosoever committed sin is the servant of sin and the servant not in the house forever but the son and even the daughter of bydith ever if the son therefore shall make you free ye shall be free indeed I know that ye are Abraham's seed after the flesh but ye seek to kill me because my word hath no place in you I speak that which I have seen with my parents and ye do that which you have seen with your parents they answered and said unto him Abraham is our father Jesus said unto them if you were Abraham's children you would do the work of Abraham but now ye seek to kill me a man hath told you the truth which I have heard of God this did not Abraham ye do the deeds of your father then said they to him we be not born of fornication we have one father even God and Jesus said unto them if God were your parent ye would love me for I proceed forth and came from God neither came I of myself but the all holy sent me why do you not understand my speech even because you cannot hear my word ye are of your father the devil and lust of your father ye will do he was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth of him and he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and the father of it because I tell you the truth you believe me not as Moses lifted up the serpent into the wilderness so must the son and daughter of man be lifted up and whoever gave this believing should not perish but have everlasting life which of you can convince me of sin and if I say the truth why do you not believe me he hath this of God hear with God's word ye therefore hear them not because ye are not of God then answer the Jews and said unto him say we say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and half a demon Jesus answered I have not a demon but I honor the oh holy and ye do dishonor me and I seek not mine own glory but the glory of God but there is one who judgeeth and certain of the elders and scribes in the temple came unto him saying why do thy disciplines teach men that this is unlawful to eat the flesh of beast when they offer in sacrifice as by Moses ordained for it is written God said to Noah the fear and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the field and every bird of the air and every fish of the sea with your hands they are delivered and Jesus said unto them ye hypocrites when did Isaiah speak of you and your forefathers saying this people draw the night unto me with their mouths and honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me for in vain do they worship me teaching and believing and teaching for the divine doctrines and the commandments of men in my name but to satisfy their own lust that's powerful guys because I that I see that a lot I get a lot of actually I personally get a lot of people who claim to be Christian that will email me and tell me I'm going to hell because my faith is different from theirs or my faith looks a little bit more open than theirs and that's a sin that's a sin that's that's feeling in your own pride and ego if you feel like you have the right to tell somebody else their fate with God and Jesus just said that that that is satisfying your own lust for evil so that's something we should all think about we don't have a right to tell somebody what their fate is that's up to God and God alone as also Jeremiah bear witness when he saved concerning blood offerings and sacrifice I the Lord command none of these things in the day that he came out of Egypt but I only but only this commandment to you I do righteousness walk in the ancient paths do judge do justice love mercy and walk humbly with God so obviously though a lot of the animal sacrifices were picked up from the Jewish people's time in Egypt right there's a lot of references to what they learned in Egypt first 16 says but you did not hearken to me who in the beginnings gave you all manner of seed and fruits of the tree and seed having been for the food and the healing of the man and the beast and they said thou speakest against the law and he said against Moses indeed I do not speak nor against the law but against them who corrupted his law which he permitted for the hardness of your hearts but behold a greater than Moses is here and they were wrath and took up stones to cast at him and Jesus passed through their midst and was hidden from their violence election 52 says he declared his pre-existence another time Jesus said verily verily I say unto you if a man kept my saying he shall never see death then said the Jews unto him now we know thou hast a demon Abraham is dead and the prophets and thou sayest if a man keep my saying he shall never taste death art thou greater than our father Abraham which is dead and the prophets are dead whom makest thou thyself Jesus answered if I honor myself my honor is nothing it is my father that honoreth me of whom he say that he is your god yet ye have not known him for I know him and if I should say I know him not I shall be a liar like unto you but I know the all holy and am known of the eternal your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day and he saw it and was glad then said the Jews unto him thou art not yet 45 years old and hast thou seen Abraham Jesus said unto them verily I verily I say unto you before Abraham was I am and he said unto them the all holy half sent you many prophets but ye rose against them all and were contrary to your lust reviling some and slaying others and I took up stones to cast at him but Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple through the midst of them and so again passed unseen by them again when his disciples were worth them in a place apart one of them asked him concerning the kingdom and said unto him as it is above so it is below as it is within so it is without as on the right hand so on the left hand as it is before so it is behind as with the great so with the small as with the male so with the female when these things shall be seen then ye shall see the kingdom of God for in me there is neither male nor female but both are one in all perfect the woman is not without the man nor the man without the woman wisdom is not without love nor is love without wisdom the head is not without the heart nor is the heart without the head in the Christ who atoneth all things for God hath made all things by number by weight and by measure corresponding with one the other these things are for them that understand to believe if they understand not they are not for them for to believe is to understand and to believe not is to not understand. Election 53 Jesus healeth the blind on the Sabbath and at another time Jesus passed by he saw a man which was blind from his birth and the disciples asked him saying master who did sin this man or his parents that he was born blind Jesus answered to what purpet is it whether this man sinned or his parents so what purpose is it spelled purpet this old english sometimes is very complicated to decipher but he's basically saying what's the purpose of the sin for his parents to make him blind so that the works of God are made manifest in him I must work the works of my parent who sent me while it is in this day the night cometh when no man can work as long as I am in the world I am the light of the world talking about like stuff your parents do to cause something in you that's another form of karma the ancestral karma just FYI we have the three karmas our own karma our own work we have to do the work of our ancestors and the collective work of ourselves first three says when he had thus spoken he spat on the ground and mingle clay with the spittle and anointed his eyes of the blind man with the clay and said to him go wash in the pool and he went his way therefore and washed and came seeing we saw this again in the acts of Philip where Philip did basically the same thing that Jesus had taught him to heal somebody's eye with spit the neighbors therefore and they which before had seen him that he was blind and said is not this he that sat and begged and someone said this is he other said he is like him but he said I am he therefore said they under him how were thine eyes open and he answered a man that is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said unto me go to the pool and wash and I went and washed and I received sight then say they unto him where is he he said I know not where he is that made me whole then came to him certain who deny that there is such a resurrection and they asked him saying master Moses wrote upon us if any man's brother die having a wife and leaving children that his brother shall take his wife and raise up her seed to his brother now there were six brethren and the first took a wife and he died childless and the seven took her to wife and he died child childless and the third even unto the sixth and they all died leaving no children last of all the woman also died now the resurrection whose of them is she for the six had her to wife and Jesus answered saying whether a woman with six husbands or a man with six wife the case is the same for the children of this would marry and are given in marriage but they which being worthy obtained to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given the marriage neither can they die anymore for they are equal to the angels and are the children of God being the children of the resurrection now that the dead are raised even Moses showed at the bush when he called the Lord the God Abraham Isaac and Jacob for he is not the God of dead but of the living for all live unto him election 54 says the examination of him who is born blind when they brought to the Pharisees him that for tone was blind and it was a Sabbath day when Jesus made the clay and open his eyes so Jesus healed him on the Sabbath which again we've already discussed in this gospel that that basically Jesus was like you know you got to do what you got to do if you have the love of God in your heart it doesn't matter if you're working on the Sabbath or not then again the Pharisees also asked him how he raised his sight he said unto them he put clay upon my eyes and I watched and I do see therefore said some of the Pharisees this man is not of God because he keepeth not the Sabbath holy others said how can a man that is a sinner do such miracles and there was division among them that's confusing right like he's not following the law but yet he's performing miracles like what's going on they say unto the blind man again what sayest thou of him that he hath opened thine eyes and he said he is a prophet but the Jews did not believe concerning him that he had been blind and receive his sight until they called the parents of him and received his sight and they asked them saying is this your son who ye say was born blind how then doth he see now his parents answered them and said we know that he is our son and that he was born blind but what means he now seeeth we know not nor who hath opened his eyes he is of age ask him he shall speak for himself these words spoke his parents because they feared the Jews for the Jews had already agreed already that if any man did confess that he was the Christ he shall be put out of the synagogue therefore said his parents he is one of age ask him so they're scared of these church leaders or these temple leaders the rabbis the Pharisees then again called they the man that was blind and said unto him give God the praise we know that this man is a sinner he answered and said whether he be a sinner or not i know not one thing i know that where i was blind now i see then said they again to him what did he to thee how opened he thine eyes and he answered i have told you already and ye did not hear where far what ye hear it again will you also be his disciples then they reviled him and said thou art his disciple but we are Moses's disciple we know that God spake unto Moses add us for his fellow we know not from whence he comes and the man answered and said unto them why herein is a marvelous thing that ye know not from whence he is and yet he have opened mine eyes now you know that God heareth not sinners but if any man be a worshiper of God and doth his will he will hear it since the world began was it not heard that many men open the eyes of one that was born blind if this man were not of God he could do nothing they answered and said unto him thou wasst altogether born in sin does thou teach us and they cast him out and Jesus heard that they had cast him out and when he found him he said unto him does thou believe on the Son of God and he answered and said who is he Lord that I might believe him and Jesus said unto him thou hast seen him and it is he that talketh with thee and he said Lord I believe and he worshipped him and Jesus said for judgment I come into the world that they which see not might not see and they which see might be made blind for some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words and said unto him are we blind also and Jesus when he came to a certain place where seven palm trees grew gathered his disciples around him to each and gave him a number and name in which he only knew who received it and he said unto them stand ye as pillars in the house of God and show forth the order according to your numbers which you have received and they stood around him and they made him body for square and they counter the number and they could not and they said unto him Lord we cannot and Jesus said let who is greatest among you be even as the least and the symbol of which is first be as the symbol of which is the last and they did so even in every way there was equality and yet each four different number and the one side was the other and the upper was the lower and the inner the outer and the Lord said it is enough such is the house of the wise builder for square it is the perfect many are the chambers but the house is one again consider the body of man which is the temple of the spirit for the body is one united to its head which is the one body and it has many members yet all are one body and the one spirit ruleeth and worketh in all so also in the kingdom and they had doth not say to the bosom I have no need for thee nor the right hand to the left I have no need for thee nor the left foot to the right I have no need for thee neither the eyes to the ears we have no need for you nor the mouth to the nose I have no need for thee for God hath set it in one body ever member as it is fitting if the hole were the head where were the beast if the hole were the belly where were the feet if those members which some affirm are less honorable upon them hath God bestowed the more honor and those parts which some call uncommonly upon them hath been bestowed more abundant comeliness that they may care one for the other so if one member suffers all members suffered with it and if one member it is honored all members rejoice now ye are my body and each one of you is a member in particular and to each one of you I do give the fitting place and one head overall and one heart center overall that there be maybe no lack nor schism that so with your bodies your soul and your spirits may be glory all the parent through the divine spirit which worketh in all through all lexen 55 christ the good shepherd one with the father at the time they're passed by way a shepherd leading his flock to the fold and jesus took up one of his young lambs in his arms and talked to it lovingly and pressed it to his bosom and he spoke with his disciples saying I am the good shepherd and know my sheep and known of mine as the parent of knoweth me even so I know my sheep and lay down my life for my sheep and the other sheep I have which are not of this fold them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one flock and one shepherd I lay down my life that I may take it again no man take it from me but I lay it down myself I have powered to lay my body down and I have power to take it up again basically he can bring himself back to life right and we see that later on in the story I am the good shepherd the good shepherd feedeth his flock he gathereth his lamb in his arms and he carried them into the bosom and gently leadeth them that they are young yay the good shepherd giveeth his life for the sheep but he that is hireling and not the shepherd whose own sheep are not seeeth the wolf cometh and leaveeth the sheep and fleeeth and the wolf catches them and scathers gathered the sheep the hireling fleet because he is a hireling and careeth not for his sheep so a bad shepherd doesn't protect his flock whereas Jesus does I am the door by me all who enter shall be safe shall go in and come out and find pasture the evil one cometh not but for to steal and to kill and destroy I am calm that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly he that entereth by the door in the shepherd of the sheep to whom the porter open and the sheep hear his voice and he calleth his sheep by name and leadeth them out and he knoweth the number and when he put forth his sheep he goeth before them and the sheep follow him for they know his voice and as a stranger will they not follow but will flee from him for they know not the voice of strangers this parable spoke Jesus unto them but they understood not with things they were which he spoke unto them then said Jesus unto them again my sheep hear my voice and I know them for they follow me and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand my parent who gave them me is greater than all and no man is able to pluck them out of my parent's hand I and my parent are one then the Jews took up stones again to him God they really are having a hard time with Jesus aren't they Jesus answer them many good workers have I shown you from my parent for which of those works do you stone me the Jews answered for good work we stone thee not but for blasphemy because thou aren't being a man makeeth thyself equal with God jesus answered them said that I am equal to God nay but I am one with God it is not written in scriptures I said ye are gods so he's not saying he's equal to God he's saying is one with God that God is with him interesting right if you call them gods unto whom the word God came and the scriptures cannot be broken say ye of him whom the parent of all how have sanctioned and sent into the world thou blasphemy because I said I'm the son of God and therefore I'm one with all the parent and if I do I do not speak the words of my parents believe me not but if I do though ye believe me not believe the works that ye may know and believe that the spirit of the great parent is in me and that I am my parent therefore they sought again to take him but he escaped out of their hands and went away again beyond Jordan into a place where John was first baptized and where he abode and many resorted unto him and said John indeed did not miracles he is the prophet that should come and many believed on him so now we're at section 55 the rising of Lazarus and this is interesting because it kind of goes back to Mary of Bethany and if you guys joined us for our Acts of Philip episode Mary of Bethany or Miriam of Bethany who is often with Mary Magdalene was Philip's wife now we understand that Mary was Mary of Bethany Miriam of Bethany was the sister possibly of Lazarus the guy who is about to be risen from the dead well the first verse here we get some clarity on who it was that white Jesus's feet so let's read on now a certain man was sick named Lazarus of Bethany the town of Mary and her sister Martha it was Mary who anointed the Lord with the ointment and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick so now we have clarification no it was not Mary of Magdalene the Magdalene that wiped Jesus's feet with her hair but Mary of Bethany who again was Philip's wife she plays a huge part in the Acts of Philip verse two said therefore his sister sent upon him saying Lord behold he whom thou lovest is sick when Jesus heard that he said the sickness is not upon death but that the glory of God might be manifest in him now Jesus loved Mary and her sister and Lazarus again Mary's sister Martha when he heard that he was sick he abode two days till in the same place where he was then after that he saith to his disciples disciples excuse me let us go into Judea again his disciples said unto him master the Jews of late sought to stone thee and goest thou hither again it's dangerous it's dangerous to go into Judea now and Jesus answered are there not 12 hours in a day if any man walketh in the day he stumbled not because he seeth the light of his world but if a man walk in the night he stumbleeth because there is no light in him these things said he and after that he saith unto them our friend Lazarus sleepeth but I go that I make him awake out of sleep then said his disciples lord if he sleep he shall do well and a messenger came unto him saying Lazarus is dead now when Jesus came he found that he had laid in the grave four days already Bethany was night unto Jerusalem about 15 furloughs off so different times right and many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary to comfort them concerning their brother then Martha as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming went and met him and Mary sat still in the house then said Martha unto Jesus lord if thou hast been here my brother has not died but I know that even now whatsoever that will ask of God he will give thee and Jesus said unto her thy brother sleepeth and he shall rise again Martha said unto him I know that he shall rise again at the resurrection at the last day and Jesus said unto her I am the resurrection in life he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live I am the way the truth and the light whoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die she said unto him ye lord I believe thou art the Christ the Son of God which should cometh into the world and when he had said she went her way and called married her sister secretly saying the master has come and calleth for thee as soon as she heard that she rose quickly and came unto him now Jesus was not yet come into town but was in the place where Martha met him the Jews then which were with her in the house and comforted her when they saw Mary that she arose up hastily and went out calling following her saying she goeth unto the grave to weep there then when Mary was come to where Jesus was and saw him she fell down in his feet saying to him lord if thou hast been here my brother had not died when Jesus therefore saw her weeping and the Jews also weeping that came with her he groaned in the spirit and was troubled and said where and have he elated him they said unto him lord come and see and Jesus left and then said Jesus behold how loved he is and some of them said could not this man which opened the eyes of the blind have caused that even this man should not have died Jesus therefore groaning again in himself for he feared that he might already be dead cometh to the grave if the cave and the stone lay upon it Jesus said take ye away the stone Martha the sister of him supposed to be dead said unto him lord by this time he stinketh for he hath been for days Jesus said unto her said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou should see the glory of God then they took away the stone from the place where Lazarus was laid and Jesus lifted up his eyes enchanting invoked the great name and said my parent I thank thee that thou has heard me for I know that thou has heard me but because of my people which stand by I call upon thee that they may believe thou has sent me and when he had thus spoken he cried with a loud voice and Lazarus came forth and he that was dead came forth bound hand and foot with glove cloths and his face was bound with a napkin kind of like a mummy right and Jesus said unto him lose him let him go when the threads of the life is cut indeed if cometh not again but when it is whole there is hope there were many of the Jews which came to Mary and had seen these things which Jesus did and believed him so just more miracles proving that he was who he said he was election 57 concerning little children the forgiveness of those who trespass parable of the fishes at the same time came the disciple unto Jesus saying who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven and Jesus called a little child unto him and set him in the midst of them and said verily I say unto you accept ye be coveted and become innocent and teachable as a little child ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven whoever there shall humble himself as the little child the same is the greatness of the kingdom of heaven and whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me woe unto the world because of offenses for it must needs be that offenses come but woe to the man by whom the offenses cometh who for each thy lusts or thy pleasure to offend others cut them off and cast them from thee it is better for thee to enter into life without then having that which will cast into everlasting life take heed that ye neglected not one of these little ones for I say unto you that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of God for the son of man is come to save the world which was lost how think ye if a man have a hundred sheep that one of them be gone astray doth he not leave the ninety and nine and go into the mountains and seek that which has gone astray and if so be that he find it verily I say unto you he rejoice more over the sheep than over the ninety nine went went not astray even so to it not the will of your parents who is in heaven the one of these little should perish that there are certain men of doubtful mind come unto Jesus and said unto him thou tell us us that our life and being is from God but we have never seen God nor do we know any God canst thou show us whom thou call the father mother one God we know not if there be a God and Jesus answered them saying here ye this parable of the fishes the fishes of a certain river communed with one another saying they tell us that our lives and being is from water but we have never seen water we know not water is then some among them wiser than the rest said we have heard their dwelleth in the sea a wise and learned fish who know with all things let us journey to him and ask him to show us what water is so several of them set out to find the great and wise fish they came at last to the sea where in the wise fish dwelt and they asked of him and when he heard them he said unto the him oh ye foolish fifth fish that consider not wise are ye the few who seek in the water ye live and move and have your being from the water ye come to the water ye return ye live in the water yet ye know it not in this manner ye live in God and yet ye ask me show us God God is in all things and all things are in God my teacher nindia says you know all we're looking all all seeing God so wherever you're looking you're seeing you're seeing God again Jesus said unto them if thy brother and sister shall trespass against thee go and declare the fault between them and thy brother or sister alone for if they shall hear thee they shall hast gain them for if they will not hear thee then take with thee one or two more that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established and if they shall neglect to hear them tell it unto the church but if they neglect to hear them tell it unto the church he says it's twice twice right let them be unto those as those are outside of the church fairly I say unto you whoever ye shall just justly bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whenever ye shall justly lose and earth shall be lost in heaven again I say unto you thou if seven or even if three of you shall were of my father and mother who's in heaven for where even three are gathered together in my name I am in the midst of them and if there are but one I am in the heart of that one then came Peter to him and said Lord how oft shalt my brother sin against me that I forgive him till seven times Jesus saith unto him I am excuse me Jesus saith unto him I say not unto thee until seven times but until seven d times seven for in the prophet likewise unrighteousness was found even after they were anointed by the Holy Spirit it's like God doesn't pick the prepared there's kind of a paraphrasing that saying God doesn't pick the people who are prepared he prepares the people who are picked to do his job right we're all fallible perfection is not ever really going to to be obtained but through God there can be corrections made and he spoke of this parable saying there was a certain king who would take account of his servants and when he had begun to reckon one was brought unto him which owed him ten thousand talents but for so much as he had not to pay his Lord commanded him to be sold and his wife and children and all that he had payments to be made and the servant therefore fell down and worshiped him saying Lord have patience with me and I will pay thee all and the Lord of the servant was moved with compassion and loosened him and forgave him his debt but the same servant went out and found one of his fellow servants which owed him a hundred pence and he laid his hands on him and took him by the throat saying pay me what thou o'est and his fellow servant fell down at his feet and besought to him saying have patience with me and I will pay thee and he would not but went and cast him into prison until he should pay his debts well hypocrisy right we should not be hypocritical so when the fellow servant saw what he had done they were very sorry and came and told upon their Lord all that was done then the Lord after he had called upon said to him oh thou wicked servant I forgave thee all thy debts because thou desirous to me should not thou also have compassion for thy fellow servant even as I had pity on thee and his Lord was wroth and delivered him to torment shall he should pay all that was due to him for it likewise shall be heavenly parent judge you if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone for his brother and sister their trespasses nevertheless let every man see that he pay that which he oweeth for God loveth the just. Lection 58 is divine love to the repentant Jesus said unto the disciples into the multitude around them who is the Son of God who is the daughter of God even in the company of them who turn from evil and do righteousness love mercy and walk reverently with their God these are the sons and daughters from a man who come about of Egypt to whom it is given and they should be called the sons and daughter of God and they are gathered from all tribes and nations and peoples and tongues and they came from the east and the west and the north and the south and they dwell on Mount Zion and they eat bread and they drink of the fruit of the vine at the table of God and they see God face to face they draw near unto him all the tax gatherers and sinners for to hear him and the Pharisees and the scribes murmured saying this man receiveeth sinners and eateth with him and he spake this parable unto them saying what man of you having a hundred sheep if he loses one doth not leave the 99 in the wilderness to go after that one which is lost until he find it so again he's reminding them of that very famous parable that we also see in the canonized bible and when he have found it he laid it on his shoulders rejoicing and when he came with home he calleth together his friends and neighbors saying unto them rejoice with me for I have found my sheep which was lost I say unto you that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth more than over 99 just persons which need no repentance either that what woman having ten pieces of silver if she loses one piece doth not light a candle and seek it diligently till she find it and when she have found it she calleth her friends and her neighbors together saying rejoice with me for I have found the piece of silver which I had lost likewise I say unto you there is joy in the presence of angels of God over one sinner that repenteth and he also spoke this parable a certain man had two sons and the younger of them said to his parents give me the portion of goods that falleth to me and they divided upon him their their living and not many days after the youngest son gathered all together and took his journey into a fair country there wasted his substance with righteous living this is again the the parable of the son that comes back from the bible and when he had spent all there arose a mighty famine in the land and he begun to want and he went and joined himself to a citizen of a country and he sent him into the fields to feed the swine and he would have feign have filled his body with the husk that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him and when he came to himself he said how many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough to eat and to spare and I perish with hunger I will arise and go to my father and mother and I will say unto thee my father and mother I have sinned against heaven and before you and I am no more worthy to be called your son make me as one of your hired servants and he rose and came to his parents but they but he was a great way off excuse me his mother and his father saw him and had compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him and the son said unto him my father and my mother I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and I'm no more worthy to be called your son but the father said to a servant bring forth the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet and bring hither the best right fruits and the bread and the oil and the wine and let us eat and be merry for this my son was dead and is alive again he was lost and is found and they began to be merry now this elder son was in the field and he came and drew night to the house and heard the music and the dancing and he called one of the servants and asked what of these things meant and he said unto him my brother who was lost has come back and they father and their mother have prepared the bread and the oil and the wine and the best right fruits because they received him safe and sound and he was angry it would not go in therefore he came his father out and and treated him and he answered said to his father low these many years I have served thee neither transgressed I at any time by thy commandments and yet thou've never guessed me such a godly feast that I may maketh merry with my friends and as soon as thus thy son had is come which hath devoured thy living with harlots thou preparest him a feast of the beast and thou hast and his father said unto him son thou art ever with me and all that I have is thine it was meat therefore that we should be married to be glad for thy brother was dead and is alive again and was lost and now is found Lecture 59 Jesus forewarneth his disciples he finds Zacharias and Jesus went into a mountain and there he sat with his disciples and taught them and he said unto him fear not little flock for it is your father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom sell that ye have and do what is good for them which have not to provide yourself bags with which wax not old and treasures in heaven that phallus not where no thief approaches neither moth corrupteth for where your treasure is there will also be your heart let your loins be girded about and your light burning and ye yourselves like unto men and wait for their lord when he will return from the wedding that he death cometh and knock they may be opened unto him immediately so there's also reference in revelation in the canine's bible of a bride in a wedding which could also be reference to a lifting of the veil because a bride wears a veil on her wedding day the wedding is what actually lifts the veil so i find that very interesting just as a side note verse four said blessed are those servants whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching barely i say unto you that she he shall gird himself and make them to sit down at a table and when come forth and serve them and he shall come in the second watch or come in the third watch and find them so blessed rare those servants and this know that their guardian of the house not knowing what hour the thief would come would have watched and not suffered his house to have broken through but ye therefore ready also for the son of man cometh at an hour when you think not so again this is this is for turning this is him preparing his disciples for the second coming which i i believe we're in right now then peter said unto him lord speakest thou this parable unto us or even to all and lord said whom then is the faithful and the wise steward whom this lord shall make ruler over his household to give them who've served their portion in due season blessed is that servant whom he is lord when he cometh shall find so doing of a truth i say unto you that he will make him ruler over all that he hath but if that servant say in thy heart my lord delayeth his coming and shall begin to beat the men servants and the maid servants and to eat and to drink and to be drunken the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him and an hour when he is not aware and will appoint him portions with the unfaithful and that servant which he knew his lord's will prepared not himself neither did according to his will shall be beaten with many stripes but he that knew not and did commit things worthy of stripes shall be beaten with few stripes for unto whoever much is given of him shall they be required the less for they who know the god had and found in the way of light the mysteries of light and have fallen into sim shall be punished with greater punishments than they who have not known the way of the life such shall return when their cycle is complete to them and will be given space to consider and amend their lives learning the mysteries to enter the kingdom of heaven so that again to me is reincarnation what he's saying they're going to come back to understand the kingdoms of heaven until they finally get it right so we're not doomed we're not all doomed we we get time to understand this mystery and jesus entered passing through Jericho and behold there was a man named Zacharias which was the chief among the collectors of the tribe and he was rich and he sought to see Jesus who he was and could not for the press because he was little of stature and he ran before and climbed up into the sycamore tree to see him for he was to pass that way and when Jesus Jesus came to the place he looked up and saw him and said to him Zachariah make haste and come down for today I must abide at thy house and he made haste and came down and received him and when he saw it they all murmured saying that he was gone to be a guest with a man that is a sinner and Zacharias stood and said unto the Lord behold Lord the half of my goods I give to the poor and if I have taken away from any man by false accusation I restore him fourfold and Jesus said unto him this day is salvation come to thine house for so much as thou art just a man thou art the son of Abraham for the son of man has come to seek and save that which ye deem to be lost. Lection 60 Jesus Rebuke the hypocrisy the Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples saying the scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses seat all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe that observe and do but do not eat after their works for they say and do not do so they basically again it's rules for me but not are excuse me rules for thee but not for me he's calling the rabbis the Pharisees that claim to be Moses's descendants he's calling them hypocrites they're don't do what they do don't do what they do we could say that very um very I could say that very assuredly about some some of the pastors we have in today's world for sure not all of them but some for they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be born and lay them on men's shoulders but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers they're not even helping people as one Jesus is saying not only are they hypocrites but they're not even helping people it's all their their power is done in selfishness and evil not in love but with all their works they do for to be seen of men again they're doing it for the lust for power and enlarge the borders of their garments and love the uppermost rooms at the feast and the chiefs sit in the synagogues and greetings in the market to be called of men rabbi rabbi so basically they're just rabbis in name for power and ego is what God is saying not because or Jesus is saying not because um they actually want to help people but desire is not each be called a rabbi for one is your rabbi even in Christ and all your brethren and call not any one father on earth for earth our fathers in the flesh only but in heaven there is one who is your father and your mother who have the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive so again this goes back to the policies of the church the political church or temple you know we have these preachers we have these priests and they're they're supposed to be um authorities in in the christian faith and in this time jesus is speaking in the jewish faith but he's saying that's not true there are no authorities in this faith because we are all equal in God's eyes neither desire ye to be called masters for one is your master even christ but they are all greatest among you shall be your servants and whoever shall be exalted themselves shall be abyss and that they are humbled and then self shall be exalted woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men for ye neither go in yourselves neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye devour widows houses and for pretense make long prayer therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye can pass sea and land to make one prostulate and when he is made you make him twofold more than the child of hell than yourself woe unto you ye blind guides who say whoever shall swear by the temple is nothing but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple he is a debtor ye fools and blind for whether is greater the gold or the temple and the sanctif of gold and whoever shall swear by the altar it is nothing but whoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it he is guilty you fools and blind for whether is great the gift of the altar and the sacrifice of the gift who saw ever therefore shall swear by the altar sweareth by it and by all things thereon and who shall swear by the temple sweareth by it and by him that dwelleth therein and he shall swear by heaven and sweareth by the throne of god and by the one holy siddeth thereon woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and kumin and have omitted the weightier matters of law judgment mercy faith these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone ye blind guides for ye strain out and gnat and swallow a camel woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for you may clean the outside of the cup and the platter but within they are full of extortation and excess thou blind Pharisees cleanse first that which is with one cup and platter then the outside of them that they may be clean also woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites for ye are like unto white inspectuers which indeed appear beautiful outward but are within full of bones of the dead and all the uncleanliness even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men but within ye are full of hypocrisy and make believe woe unto you scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because you build the tombs of the prophets and garnish that of the righteousness and say if I had been in the day of our fathers we would not have been partaken with them in the blood of the prophets wherever ye be witness unto yourself that ye deal as children for them which killeth the prophet fill ye up with the measures of your fathers wherefore sayeth holy wisdom behold I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes and some of them ye shall kill and crucify and some of them shall ye scorned with in your synagogues and persecute them from city to city and upon you shall call come all righteous bloodshed upon the earth from the blood of righteous able unto the blood of Zacharias who was slain between the temple and the altar verily I say unto you all these things shall come upon this generation O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that kills the prophets and stoneest them which are sent unto thee how often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen gathered her chickens under her wings and ye would not behold now your health house is left unto you desolate for I say unto you ye shall not see me hath forth till you say holy holy holy blessed are they who come in the name of the just one so Jesus basically we're going to leave it today at the end of section six next week we'll do seven and eight will be our sections we cover but Jesus basically just went off on the the rabbis and the Pharisees and the the priest of the Jerusalem faith that that the temples are are corrupt and they're not they're hypocrites they're not following the will of God but they're following the will of their own greed and lust which is the will of man and that's definitely definitely a mirror of what's happening today in our own religious churches, synagogues, temples, etc. So again next week we'll pick back up next Wednesday we'll pick back up with section seven and eight we have ten sections so we'll be doing this for a few more weeks to get through the whole gospel also please join us over on the dark outpost
