Jesus
the Man
Emmanuel or
God among men
אֶהְיֶה
אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה
I Am That I Am
The Lord thy God is One
“I will know no other
God than the One Lord, and Him I will serve! Know, O Israel, the
Lord thy God is One!
He put on flesh that
He, too, might know the ways of the flesh, of the desires, of the
urges that have wrought in the experiences of men that blindness of
self-glory, self-indulgence or self-aggrandizement that has led many
astray, even with the forces of Divine at times working through
them.”
The Prophesy of the
Birth of Christ in the Flesh as Jesus
"But you, Bethlehem
Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you
will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins
are from of old, from ancient times." - Micah 5:2
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the
government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called:
Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.” - Isaiah 9:6
Bethlehem
The meaning of the name Bethlehem in Hebrew:
בֵּית לֶחֶם
"House of Bread"
“I am the bread of life;
he that eateth me shall not hunger;
and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” - John 6:35
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat
of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will
give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” -
John 6:51
The manner in which Christ as Jesus Entered Jerusalem
"Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See,
your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding
on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" - Zechariah 9:9
At the time of the Crucifixion
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Psalm 22:1, "They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my
vesture." - Psalm 22:18
My God! My God! Why hast Thou forsaken me?
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" - Mark
15:34, Matthew 27:46
"And they crucified him, and parted his garments,
casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the
prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did
they cast lots." Matthew 27:35
This came, as He promised, that that anguish, that despair may not
be in thy experience. It was a fulfilling; that the trials, the
temptations might be shortened in the days of expression, that the
very elect might not be disturbed in their search for Him.
Psalm 22
To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David
1 My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from
the words of my roaring?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the
night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver
them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee,
and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of
the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip,
they shake the head, saying,
8 He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver
him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me
hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my
mother's belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to
help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset
me round.
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring
lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my
heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth
to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have
enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to
help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the
dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the
horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the
congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried
unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay
my vows before them that fear him.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord
that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord:
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the
nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they
that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep
alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a
generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a
people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Conception
through the Holy Spirit
There are, there can be such to those who Open themselves into the
Will of the Father-God, that Their wills are one with His. And in
such even in the earth there comes the natural to be unnatural, and
the unnatural natural. For Nature proclaims God, as the unnatural in
nature magnifies God.
Souls will evolve into the manner to be able to bring into the world
souls, even as Mary did. And these may come as the souls of men and
women become more and more aware that these channels, these temples
of the body are Indeed the temple of the living God and may be used
for those communications with God, the Father of the souls of men!
Is Jesus the only
begotten Son of God?
In this, to give the full concept, is to give the history then, of
all those who have entered into flesh Without that act which man
knows as copulation. For as those experiences Jesus, known as Jesus,
came into the earth, the First that were of the sons of God to enter
flesh. There the first and only begotten of God. Again, as names
would say, Enoch walked with God, became aware of God in his
movements, Still that entity, that Soul called Jesus, as
Melchizedek, without father, without mother, came, Still the soul of
Jesus; the portion of God that manifests. But each son, each
daughter, through these very acts of the only begotten, of the son
of Mary, of the first in the earth, of that without father and
without mother, without days, without years, becomes then as the
elder brother to all who are Born in the earth, as the maker, as the
creator, as the first, as the last; as the beginning, as the end of
man's soul's experience through the earth and throughout the spheres
of consciousness in and about the earth. Thus is He the only
begotten, the firstborn, the first to know flesh, the first to
purify it. And so man in his concepts, in his understandings, in his
wisdom of God, purifies, here a little, there a little.
Jesus the Man
In the illustration we find the man called Jesus.
In this: This man, as man, makes the will the will of the
Father, then becoming one with the Father and the model for man.
In this man called Jesus we find at a Oneness with the Father,
the Creator, passing through all the various stages of
development.
In mental perfect, in wrath perfect, in flesh made perfect, in
love become perfect, in death become perfect, in psychic become
perfect, in mystic become perfect, in consciousness become
perfect, in the greater ruling forces becoming perfect, and is
as the model, and through the compliance with such laws made
perfect, destiny, the pre-destined, the fore-thought, the will,
made perfect.
The condition made perfect, and is an ensample for man, and only
as a man, for He lived only as man. He died as man.
How may we regard the truth
regarding Jesus in relation to the Jewish and Christian
religions, and to all the other religions of the world?
In that the man, Jesus, became the ensample of the flesh,
manifest in the world, and the will one with the Father, he
became the first to manifest same in the material world.
Thus, from man's viewpoint, becoming the only, the first, the
begotten of the Father, and the ensample to the world, whether
Jew, Gentile, or of any other religious forces.
In this we find the true advocate with the Father, in that He,
as man, manifest in the flesh the ability of the flesh to make
fleshly desires one with the will of the spirit.
For God is spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in
spirit and in truth, just as Jesus manifested in the flesh, and
able to partake of the divine, for making all laws susceptible
to the mandates.
For the will was one with the Father, and in this we find He
takes on all law, and a law unto Himself.
For with the compliance, of even an earthly or material law,
such an person is the law.
And in that Jesus lived as man, and died as man, and in that
became the ensample to all who would approach the Throne of God.
As we see in all the religions of the world, we find all
approaching those conditions where man may become as the law in
his connection with the divine, the supreme, the oneness, of the
world's manifestation.
In Jesus we find the answer.
What, then, will
you do with Jesus?
For He is the Way, He is the Light, He is the Hope, He Is ready.
Will you let Him into thy heart? or will you keep Him afar or apart?
Will ye not eat of His body, of the bread of life? Drink from that
fountain that He builds in the minds, the hearts, the souls of those
that seek to know Him and His purposes with men, with the world!
For having overcome the world, He Indeed has it, as it were, in
the palm of His hand; and has entrusted to you this world, because
of His faith, His love for you. What will you do about Jesus and His
trust In You?
As these, then, are the things that you have oft heard in one manner
or another, they have become to some passe; they have become to
others as "How can it be?"; they are to others still just a
question. But "Try ye the spirits." Know those that know Him are in
accord with that which is His purpose, His desire, with men.
Then, how may you as individuals in your various spheres of
activity, in your walks of life among men that think not of Him,
carry on? By just showing forth that He hath given. Though others
may be unjust, rail not; for it indeed must be that these things
come, but woe to them by whom they come!
Rather know that the meek, the patient, those that are of one mind
in Him Shall, Shall, inherit the earth, the possessions thereof!
Learn ye what to do with them. For if you say, "Had I much, I would
give to the poor; had I plenty I would be kind to the unfortunate,"
and you do not do the same with your mite, you would not do it if
you had much! What said He?
"She that cast in the penny gave more than them all." So you are
only fooling yourselves if you are not giving, doing, being, even
thy little! For as He has given, it is the leaven that leaveneth the
whole lump. Be gentle, be kind, be patient; for the earth is thy
Lord's.
Do ye claim Him as thy brother, as thy friend, as thy neighbour? Do
that, for thy own sake, for His sake! So much He has given! What
hast thou done! For as ye do it unto the least of thy brethren, ye
do it unto Him. That is the law!
The Celestial Sphere
When a soul, passes into any sphere, with that it has builded in its
celestial body, it must occupy, to a finite mind, space, place,
time. Hence, to a finite
mind, a body can only be in a place, a position. An attitude, sure,
for that of a onement with, or attunement with, the Whole.
For, God is love; hence occupies a space, place, condition, and is
the Force that permeates all activity.
So, Christ is the ruling force in the world that man, in his finite
mind, the material body, must draw to self of that sphere of which
the entity, the soul, is a part, of whatever period of experience,
to be conscious of an existence in
that particular sphere or plane.
Is Jesus the Christ on any particular
sphere or is He manifesting on the earth plane in another body?
All power in heaven, in earth, is given to Him who overcame. Hence
He is of Himself in space, in the force that impels through faith,
through belief, in the individual entity. As a Spirit Entity. Hence
not in a body in the earth, but may come at will to him who Wills to
be one with, and acts in love to make same possible. For, He shall
come as ye have seen Him go, in the Body He occupied in Galilee. The
body that He formed, that was crucified on the cross, that rose from
the tomb, that walked by the sea, that appeared to Simon, that
appeared to Philip, that appeared to John.
Wherever He is, how may I contact Him so that I may see Him and hear
Him speak?
The making of the will of self one with His will makes a whole
attunement with Him. He Will, with the making of self in accord and
desiring same, speak with thee.
"Be not afraid, it is I."
The proper symbols, or
similes, for the Master, the Christ
Jesus is the soul who
first went through the cycle of earthly lives to attain perfection,
including perfection in the planetary lives. This was Jesus the man.
This was a voluntary mission One Who was already perfected and
returned to God, having accomplished His Oneness in other planes and
system.
The incarnations of Christ, where the development of the man Jesus
began
First, in the beginning, of course; and then as Enoch, Melchizedek,
in the perfection. Then in the earth has Joseph, Joshua, Jeshua and
Jesus.
John 14:5-14
"Thomas saith unto him,
Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth
us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou
not that I Am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I
speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth
in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I
Am in
the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe me for the very
works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on
me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than
these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall
ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in
the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."
Christ the
Spirit
Life is an essence of the Father. The Christ, taking up the life of
the man Jesus, becomes life in glory; and may be glorified in each
atom of a physical body that attunes self to the consciousness and
the Will of the Christ Spirit.
In the Christ Consciousness, then, there is the oneness of self,
self's desires, self's abilities, made in at-onement with the forces
that may bring to pass that which is sought by an individual entity
or soul. Hence at that particular period self was in accord.
The Names of the Living God, The First Created
Known that the Lord is a
personal God, He partakes of the Creation with you. For as He chose
to enter, so ye have entered. As He chose to live, so may ye live.
As He chose to give of Himself that there might be a greater
understanding, a greater knowledge; yea, the showing forth of the
wisdom of God that God Is love, poured forth upon the children of
men in this experience. And in the coming into the influence of
those that would open themselves for an understanding might there be
the approach to Him. He has come in all ages through those that were
the spokesmen to a people in this age, that age, called unto a
purpose for the manifestation of that first idea.
A
First Law, A First Principle:
"Know, O Israel, the Lord thy God Is One!"
All power, all force, is a manifestation of that which is termed the
God-consciousness. These are elemental or first statements, first
principles. Then, the application of an entity in materiality, is
that of the first and the last law: "Love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, thy mind, thy soul, And thy neighbour as thyself."
|
The Word |
"In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing
made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the
light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended it not." -
John 1:1-5 |
|
Amilius |
And this was
the spirit of light. |
|
Adam |
Adam as he
listened to Eve, should again come in the flesh fulfilling
all. "And the Word
was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full
of grace and truth." - John 1:14 |

|
Melchizedek
|
Melchizedek in Hebrew: מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶֿק, "king of
righteousness"; was the king of Salem and priest of El Elyon "God
most high" mentioned in the 14th chapter of the Book of Genesis. He
brings out bread and wine and blesses Abram and El Elyon. He wrote
the Book of Job, this is the Oldest Book in the Old Testament Texts. |
|
Zend (Zan) |
Zend was the
father of the first Zoroaster, and the source of the
Teachings for the Zend-Avesta. He Who gave the
Teachings men should have only one wife. He has walked with
men, Teaching the basic principle of the Oneness of the
Father. |

Ur |
|
|
Joseph
|
Joseph in Hebrew יוסף יהוה yosef YHWH as signifying "Yahweh
(I Am) shall increase". And Judah "sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites
for 20 pieces of silver", Genesis 37:28. Joseph had 12 Bothers.
He wrote some of the texts in the Book of Prophets. |
|
Joshua |
Joshua (יְהוֹשֻׁעַ) in Hebrew "Yehoshua", meaning "Yahweh (I
Am) the Salvation". He Wrote the Books of Moses and the Book of
Joshua. |
|
Asaph |
|
|
Jeshua
|
Jeshua - Yeshua son of Jozadak -
(יֵשׁ֡וּעַ), "to rescue" in Hebrew Yehoshua, Yeshua
(Aramaic: יֵשׁוּעַ Yĕshúa), Yeshua ישוע. The name corresponds to
the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus,
comes the English spelling Jesus. Yeshua the High Priest was the
first person chosen to be the High Priest for the reconstruction of
the Jewish Temple after the return of the Jews from the Babylonian
Captivity. He helped to collect all the Sacred Texts. (Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁוּעַ Yəhōšua‘) or Yeshua the High Priest was, according
to the Bible, the first person chosen to be the High Priest for the
reconstruction of the Jewish Temple after the return of the Jews
from the Babylonian Captivity |
|
Jesus |
Jesus in Hebrew Yeshu (ישו), the Greek form is a rendering
of the Hebrew ישוע (Yeshua), a variant of the earlier name יהושע (Yehoshua),
or in English, "Joshua". In the Epistle to the Hebrews,
Jesus who is Christ incarnated is identified as "a priest forever in
the order of Melchizedek", and so Jesus the man who is Christ the
Lord God, assumes the role of High Priest once and for all. And they
covenanted with him for 30 pieces of silver. - Matthew 26:15.
Jesus had 12 Disciples. |

Study Then
This may take in its study and
understand why the spirit of life, the spirit of light, of hope, of
desire to know the truth, must be greater than that man has called
scientific proof, and yet it is the science of light, of truth, of
love, of hope, of desire, of God. Study these well, as ye have in
thy experiences in the earth. Study each to show self approved unto
God, in the light of that which may be had by each in their
concerted, cooperative efforts to bring the knowledge of the power
of the Holy One in the experience of those that would seek His face.
Not as unto self-exaltation, that in the experience of each has
brought those things that in their associations in the present make
for doubts and fears and desires and disturbances that burn and
burn, yet all must be tried so as by fire. And the fires of the
flesh in their activity in material associations must be purified in
the love even as the Father gave, that all may know that each walk
together with the Son, with the Father, with the Giver of all good
and perfect gifts. That there may come, through those promises that
have been given, that in the body may be found that signifying the
purposes in which the activities of the very hearts and souls may
bring into the experiences of others, those things that will make
for harmony, joy, peace, to those that seek to know His face. For,
we shall see Him as He is. He will walk among men. He will be in
they midst. Be thou, then, those that will make His paths straight;
for narrow is the way yet straight is the gate that leads to that
knowledge that may be had in Him. Search deep into the heart, the
soul of self, and see from whence cometh that motivating force that
Drives self on to activity. If it is for laudation of self alone, if
it is for the aggrandizement of the interests in material things
alone, then know, while you may materially succeed, the Ends thereof
are not well. But seek through those activities that bring the
analyzing of same in the human body, in the human relationships,
that may be spiritualized by the desires of the heart, and you will
find joy and peace, and, yea, in those days, when His forerunner may
come into the earth for preparing the place for the Son of man, that
His kingdom may be established in the earth, wilt thou be ready?
Seek ye Him.

branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a
branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast
them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in

will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father

resurrection! And in Him is life, light and joy that maketh all else
as but naught. For, what must be obliterated? Hate, prejudice,
selfishness, backbiting, unkindness, anger, passion, and those
things of the mire that are created in the activities of the sons of
men.
1 Corinthians 15
Moreover, brethren, I declare
unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye
have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye
keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed
in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of
all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our
sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that
he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas,
then of the 12:
After that, he was seen of above
500 brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this
present, but some are fallen asleep.
After that, he was seen of James;
then of all the apostles.
And last of all he was seen of me
also, as of one born out of due time.
For I am the least of the
apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the church of God.
But by the grace of God I am what
I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain;
but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the
grace of God which was with me.
Therefore whether it were I or
they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
Now if Christ be preached that he
rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no
resurrection of the dead?
But if there be no resurrection
of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
And if Christ be not risen, then
is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
Yea, and we are found false
witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he
raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead
rise not.
For if the dead rise not, then is
not Christ raised:
And if Christ be not raised, your
faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Then they also which are fallen
asleep in Christ are perished.
If in this life only we have hope
in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
But now is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by
man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, even so
in Christ shall all be made alive.
But every man in his own order:
Christ the first fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his
coming.
Then cometh the end, when he
shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and
power.
For he must reign, till he hath
put all enemies under his feet.
The Pennon of the Order: "The Lord He Is God"
The Lord was Seen and Heard more than 12 times after Resurrection, between 1,
and up to 500 persons at each time.
Some, were even allowed to touch Him.

People Risen from Death by Jesus
1. Jesus Raises a widow's Son
"And it came to pass the day after, that he went into
a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and
much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold,
there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and
she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her. And when
the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep
not. And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood
still.
And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise. And he that
was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his
mother. And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God,
saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God
hath visited his people. And this rumour of him went forth
throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about."
-
Luke 7:11-17
2. Jesus Raises Lazarus
"Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It
was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the
stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him,
Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away
the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted
up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people
which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent
me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and
foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go." - John 11:38-44
3. Jesus Raises a young Girl
"While he
yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's
house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the
Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,
Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. And when he
came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and
James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And
all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead,
but sleepeth.
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was
dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called,
saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose
straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. And her parents were
astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what
was done." - Luke 8:49-56

Romans 10:17-18
So then faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes
verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto
the ends of the world.
Jeremiah 21
"The word which came unto Jeremiah
from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of
Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
Inquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal
with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from
us. Then said Jeremiah unto them,
Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah: Thus saith the LORD God of
Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your
hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against
the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will
assemble them into the midst of this city. And I myself will fight against
you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger,
and in fury, and in great wrath. And I will smite the inhabitants
of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great
pestilence. And afterward, saith the LORD, I
will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the
people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from
the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king
of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of
those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of
the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have
mercy. And unto this people thou shalt
say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I set before you the way of life,
and the way of death. He that abideth in this city
shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:
but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege
you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey. For I have set my face against
this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be
given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it
with fire." - Jeremiah 21
Isaiah 53
"For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out
of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall
see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was
despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our
iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we
are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his
own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth:
he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her
shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare
his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his
death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in
his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his
seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by
his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall
bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall
divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his
soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he
bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."
- Isaiah 53
Acts 26
"To open their eyes, and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that
they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them
which are sanctified by faith that is in me. But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and
throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that
they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for
repentance." - Acts 26
Isaiah 54
"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing,
and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are
the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife,
saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the
curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and
strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand
and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make
the desolate cities to be inhabited. Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded;
for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame
of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood
any more. For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and
thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth
shall he be called." - Isaiah 54
The Lord He Is God
The Immanuel Prophecy
“Moreover the Lord spoke
again to Ahaz, saying, “Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your
God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.” But Ahaz said, “I will not
ask, nor will I test the Lord!” Then he said, “Hear now, O
house of David! Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will
you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a
sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall
call His name Immanuel.” - Isaiah 7:10-14
Hebrew name Immanuel
עִמָּנוּאֵל, meaning "God with us".
The Lord He Is God
The Lord who Is God was born by the Father (in other words by
Himself), not by human intervention in the part of Joseph. Jesus
was not conceived by two earthly parents; He was born of a virgin
through a miraculous work of Himself God. He was born Holy, without
Sin. Being
born of a virgin might seem impossible: even Jesus’ mother, Mary,
asked, “How will this be?
“Then
said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a
man?” In Matthew 1:20 “Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto
him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take
unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of
the Holy Ghost”. Luke
1:34
John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life”, and God Himself—God in human flesh.
אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה
I Am That I Am
I Timothy 3:16 “And
without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels,
preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up
into glory.” Yes, He was fully man
Jesus, but He was also fully God Christ, Colossians 2:9 “For
in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily”. Christ said
He existed before Abraham John 8:58 “Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am Before Abraham was, I Am
before the worlds were I Am”.
Christ our God stated that: “I and my
Father are One”, John 10:30, and that the Christ is equal with the
Father: John 5:17-18 "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work".
Therefore they sought the more to kill him, because he not only
had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father,
making himself equal with God.”
Christ
said He has the Authority to Judge the Nations
“When the Son of man shall
come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he
sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered
all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a
shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the
sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say
unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and
ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick,
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall
the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred,
and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a
stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick,
or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say
unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also
unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and
ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick,
and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst,
or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister
unto thee?Then shall he answer them,
saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of
the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away
into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” -
Matthew 25:31-46
Christ
who Is God Raised People from the Dead
“Verily, verily, I say
unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath
life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in
himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall
hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto
the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.” - John
5:25-29
Forgive
Sins
“When
Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy
sins be forgiven thee. But
there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in
their hearts, Why
doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God
only?” - Mark 2:5-7
Things only God can Do
“The
Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and
bringeth up. The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low,
and lifteth up. He
raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from
the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit
the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,
and he hath set the world upon them.” - I Samuel 2:6-8
“I,
even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own
sake, and will not remember thy sins.”
-
Isaiah 43:25
Christ said He has the Power to Answer Prayers
“And
whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. If ye
shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” - John
14:13-14
“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded
you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.” - Matthew 28:20
“In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God.
The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.” - John
1:1-3
“All
things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he
shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” - John
16:15
Christ left a lot of
evidence that He Is God
The evidence includes
fulfilled prophecy, recorded miracles, in which Christ reversed the
Laws of Nature. Christ also lived and gave the example of a sinless
life, something no one else has done. Hebrews 4:15 “For we have not an high
priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities;
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
In
Luke 4:8, Jesus says, “For it is written, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”
Christ
said and showed many times that He is the Lord. Christ
says, for example, that He is “the first and the last” Revelation
1:17
“And
when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right
hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the
last”. “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end, the first and the last.”
Revelation 22:13
“Thus saith the Lord the
King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first,
and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” Isaiah 44:6
The
Good News, is that Christ told us He Is God in many different ways!
Christ has made it clear that He and God the Father are One.
“I and
my Father are one.” - John
10:30
“I am
the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.” - John
14:6
“Neither is there
salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12
“In
whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
-
Colossians 2:3
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto
him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and
the prophets." - Matthew 22:36-40
In the study, forsake not, of course, the true way and light. As is
given from the beginning: God said: "Let there be light" and there
was light, and that light became, and is the light of the world. For
it is true that light, that knowledge, the understanding of that
Jesus who became the Christ, is indeed thy elder brother and yet
Creator, Maker of the universe; and thus are ye a part of same and a
directing influence. Then, as ye practice His principles ye become
aware of same. And these are first: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, thy mind, thy soul, and thy neighbour as
thyself." Love the Lord, eschew evil, do good to thy fellow
man; this is the whole law.

The Lord He Is God
His will in all things be done!
For He Is the way, and He
asks that all follow in that way
Christ if the Way The Truth and the Light
"I, John, would speak with
thee concerning the Lord, the Master, as He walked among men. As
given, if all that He did and said were written, I suppose the world
would not contain all that may be said." As He, the Christ, is in
His glory that was ordained of the Father, He may be approached by
those who in sincerity and earnestness seek to know Him - and to be
guided by Him. As He has given, by faith
all things are made possible through belief in His name. Believest thou? Then let
thine activities bespeak that thou wouldst have, in spirit, in
truth. Seek, then, each in your
own way and manner, to magnify that you, as souls, as beings, would
make manifest of His love, in the way He will show thee day by day. As He came into the world,
as man knows the world, then He became as man; yet in the spirit
world He seeks to make manifest that sought by those who do His
biddings. For, as He gave, "If ye
love me, keep my commandments. These are not new, and are
not grievous, that ye love one another - even as the Father loveth
me."
Christ Consciousness
The Christ Consciousness
is a universal consciousness of the Father Spirit.
The Jesus consciousness is
that man builds as body worship. In the Christ
Consciousness, then, there is the oneness of self, self's desires,
self's abilities, made in atonement with the forces that may bring
to pass that which is sought by an individual entity or soul. Hence
at that particular period self was in accord. Hence the physical
consciousness had the desire to make it an experience of the whole
consciousness of self. Seek this the more often.
He will speak with thee, for His promises are true, every one of
them. "Even, I
John, experienced when I looked behind me from the cave and saw that
the without and within are One," (John 11:38 - John's witnessing the
healing of Lazarus) when the desires of the heart make each atom of the
physical body vibrate with the consciousness of, the belief and the
faith and the presence of, the Christ life, the Christ
Consciousness. Life is
an essence of the Father. The Christ, taking up the life of the man
Jesus, becomes life in glory; and may be glorified in each atom of a
physical body that attunes self to the consciousness and the Will of the Christ
Spirit. The Christ-Consciousness is the
awareness within each soul, imprinted in pattern on the mind and
waiting to be awakened by the will, of the soul's oneness with God. Christ represents the Evolution of
this Spirit Energy into Flesh Man, the Perfect Flesh Man.
Christ's evolution to His present
Spiritual Omnipotence
Spiritual Oneness with the Whole Spirit Force (not an all powerful
individual man floating around spirit like in the atmosphere or
somewheres in the heavens) but an energy capable of acting
here-there-everywhere throughout the realm (all power over Heaven
and Earth) but a Self Conscious Intelligent Rational Energy, a 4th
dimension Energy fully evolved, such is God.
How may I be in closer contact with Christ?
By making the will, the desire of the heart, one with His, believing
in faith, in patience, all becomes possible in Him, through Him to
the Father; for He gave it as it is. Believest thou? Then,
"according to thy faith be it done in thee".
Theophanies of God The Christ the
God of All Humankind
The term Theophany has acquired
a specific usage for Christians and Jews with respect to the Bible:
It refers to the manifestation of the Abrahamic God to people.
Finding God
Do you want to waste your Life?
For being holy is just being kind, gentle, patient, long-suffering.
These are manners, means and ways of finding why, how, these
influences, that bespeak of the soul's relationship to the Creative
Forces.
Be not afraid when it is said, "It is I"
Rather, then, the experiences that are necessary for making aware
within the consciousness of self how the inner self may be
controlled by those powers, those influences, that an entity, an
individual, entertains. Be not unmindful that ye entertain strangers
that come to thee in thine consciousness, that reaches to the inner
self and to the cosmic spheres; for angels are often entertained.
Then, clothe and feed them only upon the words and the activities of
the spirit of truth, and through same may come those experiences
that have been long sought; for the time is near at hand.

The Teachings of the Living Christ
The One and Only
Commandment of Christ to Humankind
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as
I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all
men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God as thyself, and thy neighbour as thyself, with thy heart,
with thy mind, with thy purpose.
Would you ask God to do for you that you would not do for your
brother?
If you would, you are
selfish, and know not God. For as ye do it unto the
least of thy brethren, ye do it unto thy Maker. These are not mere words,
they are that as ye will Experience, if ye would know Him at all.
For He is not past finding
out; and if ye will know Him, tune in to Him; turn, look, hope, act
in such a way that ye Expect Him, thy God, to meet thee face to
face. "Be not afraid, it is I," saith He that came to those seeking to know their relationship with
their Maker. And because He came
walking in the night, in the darkness, even upon the waters, they
were afraid. Yea, many of you become
afraid because of the things that ye hear, for ye say, "I do not
Understand, I do not Comprehend!" Why? Have ye so belittled thyself, thy
body, thy mind, thy consciousness, that thou hast seared, that thou
hast made of none effect those opportunities within thine own
consciousness to know thy Maker?
Is the faith of man in Buddha or
Mohammed equal in the effect on his soul to the faith in Christ?
As He gave, he that receiveth a prophet in the Name of a prophet
Receives the prophet's reward, or that Ability, that that individual
spiritual force May manifest in the life of that individual. Hence, as each teacher, minister or seer, or prophet, receives that
obeisance as is giving the life from that faith and hope as held by
that as an individual, in the Christ is found that as the advocate
With the Father and the spirit of the Father glorified in him that
approaches through that manner, without that as is approached in the
spiritual activity of any individual. For individuality is last lost, even as man in spirit overcomes
death in the material; even as He overcame death in the material,
and able to put on immortality in a material world, bringing to man
not only of flesh that endowed With the ability to be one With the
Father but magnifying the Father In the individual yet in the
material plane. Hence, as we find, each in their respective spheres are but
stepping-stones to that that may awaken in the individual the
knowledge of the Son in their lives.
For even misery loves company. So does the power of God make for
might in the lives and the experiences of others. For it has been
given that we are as sheep following, following.
Who art thou following? Hath thou chosen the Lamb of God as thy
leader?
If so, well done, thou good and faithful servant. These may
be thy benediction, if thou hast chosen such and dost keep in the
way that He has pointed out. Not some great deed, not some great
feat, not some great yielded influence; but rather as the little
leaven that leaveneth the whole lump.
For it is line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there
a little. Ye Are in eternity.
What will ye do with the Lamb of God?
Will ye offer Him again upon the altar of thine own selfishness, or
will ye in mercy, in harmony, in peace, be as one with Him; that ye
may know?
For He is the good shepherd, and He understandeth the needs of His
sheep, and ye know His Voice. Have ye listened to the still small
voice within? For it warneth thee, it will direct thee, if ye will
but harken.
Why do I have a leaning more towards Christianity than Judaism?
Hast thou not tried both? Hast thou not found that the Essence, the
truth, the Real truth is One? Mercy and justice; peace and harmony.
For without Moses and his leader Joshua (that was bodily Jesus)
there Is no Christ. Christ is not a man! Jesus was the man; Christ
the messenger; Christ in all ages, Jesus in one, Joshua in another,
Melchizedek in another; These be those that led Judaism! These be
they that came as that child of promise, as to the children of
promise; and the promise is in thee, that ye lead as He has given
thee: "Feed my sheep."
Understandings of what is known as Mohammed or Allah
Give rather the greater expression of the oneness of the individual
activity, than following any individual that had set self as a lord
or master or director over another. What an individual sows, that it reaps.
In relation to what?
That
chosen in the experience as the ideal of the individual, And the
relationship such knowledge or such an ideal has to the First Cause
or Premise or God; according to how true, or how well in keeping
with those ideals, one applies self. Each entity must answer for its
Own choosing, as well as for those it, as an entity, has persuaded
or prompted in certain directions. For, it is true, physically,
mentally or spiritually, that if the blind lead the blind, Both will
fall into the ditch.
Mohammedanism, Confucianism, Shintoism, Brahmanism, Platoism,
Judaism.
Christ the entity, as an entity, influenced either directly or
indirectly all those forms of philosophy or religious thought that
taught God was One. In the first, as one that associated with, in
the meditation or spirit of, that one guiding same, and those things
that have been added to are much in the same manner that was added
to in Judaism. Whether in Buddhism, Mohammedanism, Confucianism,
Platoism, or what, these have been added to much from that as was
given by Jesus in His walk in Galilee and Judea. In all of these,
then, there is that same impelling spirit. What individuals have
done, do do, To the principles or the spirit of same, in turning
this aside to meet their Own immediate needs in material planes, or
places has made for that as becomes an outstanding thing, as a
moralist or the head of any independent religious force or power;
for, as has been given, "Know, O Israel, the Lord thy God is One!"
whether this is directing one of the Confucius thought, Brahman
thought, Buddha thought, Mohammedan thought; these are as teachers
or representatives, or to make more of the distinct change, as was
in that as given by the apostle to the gentiles: "I hear there are
divisions among you. Some say I am Paul, another I am Apollos,
another I am of Caiaphas. Paul may minister, Apollos may have
watered, but it's God that gives the increase!" The Spirit of the
Creative Force, and as such the Son represented in the spirit in
that as was made manifest in the earth. Not as Only one, but The
only one; for, as He gave: "He that climbs up any other way is a
thief and a robber."
As the Spirit of the Master, the Spirit of the Son, was manifest, as
was given, to each in their respective sphere. As it is today. As it
was of yore. God calls on man everywhere to seek His face, through
that channel that may be blessed by the Spirit of the Son, in
whatever sphere this may take its form. Because there are
contentions, because there is the lack of the giving and taking as
to others thought, does not change God's attitude one whit; neither
does it make one above another; for, as has been given, there Is
Only one, the others are as those acting in the capacity of the
thought that was given to them through that same power, that "In the
last days has He spoken unto us through the Son, as one born out of
due season." We find the same contentions arising in that called in
the present denominationalism, and each one crying, "Lo, here is
Christ, Lo, this is the manner of approach, Lo, unless ye do this or
that ye have no part in Him." "He that loves me will keep my
commandments." What are the commandments? "Thou shalt have no other
God before me", and "Love thy neighbour as thyself." In this is
builded the whole Law and gospel of every age that has said: "There
is One God!"
How may we have the mind of
Christ?
As we open our hearts, our minds, our souls, that we may be a
channel of blessings to others, so we have the mind of the Christ,
who took upon Himself the burden of the world. So may we, in our Own
little sphere, take upon ourselves the burdens of the world. The
Joy, the peace, the happiness, that may be ours is in Doing for the
Other fellow. For, gaining an understanding of the laws as pertain
to right living in all its phases makes the mind in attune with
Creative Forces, which Are of His consciousness. So we may have That
consciousness, by putting into action That we know.

The Love of Christ, Who Is God
Know His love is sufficient to keep thee. No matter what may be the
trial, His love abideth, and He is Not unmindful of thy prayers.
Christ is In thee when ye Are (in thy living, in thy thinking, in
thy acting) One with Him.
Christmas
“The Birth of Christ you won't
understand before and you won't get the understanding of it until
you have taken up inside the knowledge, that you know what this your
own birth means to you, and what it means to your earthly life. I
say it once more very clearly, that you come to self-knowledge, that
you know of yourself not one thing, but the right thing, what you
are in real and in truth.
Then you will remember, really prepare for the holy celebration for
the real redeemer you will prepare for so that until that day you
will be worthy to receive the holy sacrament All the Good that God
has meant for you, that you will receive it! But you can't serve two
masters, on one hand evil and on the other hand God!
and between all you are a hypocrite and a cheater, you are not even
honest to yourself. This all, my dear friends, you have to let go,
all of that, I repeat it once more everything, what you have felt as
evil in your life you have to put entirely aside. You have to turn
your back to evil! You have to follow a different path therefore I
call you to the Great Turnaround.
Follow the path as it is meant for you by God, and for us all, as it
is destined through Christ! What do we humans have to do? what kind
of teaching is that? the teaching of Christ? Is it all, when human
proclaims by himself. “I am a Christian!” Is that all? don't we have
to put it into action, as Christ said: “Follow me!”. Follow can only
the one, who detaches from all material and doesn't cling on earthly
things but who cling on that one, to the one, to whom he feels
attracted, to whom he belongs.
Only this person can follow God. He can, and he will through the
teaching of Christ become that person, to whom God has meant him.
There is no back and forth, no now and then. And Christ himself has
given us the good, the best and the only advice which we humans, all
humans have to follow, and if you really want to follow now that you
don't demand something but really achieve Everything what is meant
for you! Then you will feel much good on yourself, much good on your
own body, also experience much good on the body of your next human.
Believe it!
I'm not a speaker, I'm no narrator. I'm just someone who tells
people about that I am convinced of but at first I have to be
convinced on my own and to be convinced of the One I belong to, to
be convinced of the One, who has sent me here who has given me an
earthly life and I have to be conscious about my mission about my
vocation. I don't have to be indifferent, I don't have to listen to
people, I have to keep listen to GOD, and I will keep doing that, I
don't need to promise you. I don't owe you an account, you have to
owe your own account. But I just do it.” - Bruno Gröning (Ananias)
The Way
Ego sum Via, Veritas et Lux
"I am the way, the truth and the
light. No man cometh unto the Father but by me, and
whatsoever thou asketh in my name, that will the Father give unto
thee." - John 14:6
Know that in Him is
the light that will shine to the inmost recesses of thine heart,
thine consciousness; yea, thy mind and thine soul will rejoice in
the Lord. He will do thee good.
"Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven, but to them it is not given." - Matthew 13:11
"Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God:
but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and
hearing they might not understand." - Luck 8:10
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow me." - Mathew 16:24
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up
his cross daily, and follow me." - Luck 9:23
His Promise
"Condemn no one. Love all. Do good. And ye may experience it all." For hath He not given, and His
promises are sure: “Believe in me, abide in me, and I will bring to
thine remembrance All necessary that Ye May Know the way”? His words
are True! Hold Fast to that thou hast set in thine Heart as
concerning Him. For He has promised to come to thee, to all who
seek. He, the only begotten of the
Father, the Christ, has become the Way, the Light, the Truth, the
Water, the Bread, the Vine! and all of those are Of Him who become
channels for manifesting, or through which there may be those
expressions that are of love and faith and hope! Man through all
periods has with one voice blessed God and with the same cursed his
brother. This should not be! Yet it is such in the world today that
is bringing the seeking for might and power. As to the manners in
which the entity applies those influences which it attained or
gained through the periods when it again announced to the children
of men the great and mighty day of the Lord being at hand, ye are
coming to the realization that the fulfilling of that promise in Him
is Today; for He Is the Way, the Truth and the Light! It is no
longer, then, afar off; but lo, it is within the heart and mind of
each soul, Everywhere! For, whosoever Will may take of the cup of
life, and drink, in such measures that the thirsting is no more for
those things that put fear and dread into the hearts of the children
of men. For it is neither in this temple, that city, nor the other
land, but in thine own heart, in thine own mind. Keep, then, to that
same hope and faith, that ye expect others to have in thee, in thy
fellow man; looking to Him who is the author and the finisher of
faith. For, know that Jesus, as the Christ, is the power of God unto
salvation to All that believe and trust in Him. The making of the
will of self one with His will makes a whole attunement with Him.
Know that He, thy Brother, thy Saviour, thy Christ, has been and is
the Way to the Father in this material plane.

The Work of the Hospitallers Order of the Good News
"And said, Verily I say unto you, Lest ye become as little children
ye will in no wise enter in the kingdom of heaven."
- Matthew 18:3
"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not
enter therein." - Mark 10:15
Unless you can be just as forgiving, unless you can find it just as
easy to forget slights and slurs and things that would make afraid
those who would judge others. For with what measure ye mete, it is
measured to thee again. Even as He, the Master gave, the faults ye
find in others are reflected in thine own mirror of life. And as He
gave, "Cast the beam out of thine eye that ye may see to take the
mote from thy brother's eye." Keep in that faith as of the first
lesson, become as a little child, if ye will be able to be of
greater service to others. And unless we All become as little
children, lest we all come with the desire, even though there be
scorn upon the face, the actions, of many; yet that desire, that
love, for those conditions that bring the full concept of the
Fatherhood of God is that redeeming force as is manifest in the
world. "The children lead where the old dare not follow", for unto
him there has been given that message that will reach to those that,
to the world, to the theologian as of the present day, will mean the
new lesson, the new light, to the young in many places, for that
innate desire of the love of the Father is in all.
Let this be in thy minds, thy hearts and thy lives, as ye go about
preparing that as will be thy contribution to this lesson which will
go to many. For, as given, the time will come when these things
written here ye many may study again; and will be as Bibles are to
many in the present.
But let thy light so shine among thine own
associates day by day, that ye are indeed Not Ashamed to speak that
thou hast heard in the manner of thy living, in the same breath with
that ye do and say to thy fellow man.

Books & Manuscripts
Read this books and make them the
experience of self! for, as has been given, the ones He has called
are those who have Opened their hearts that He May enter in, and the
Christ, the God, must become the saviour, the brother, the father,
to that soul - that He may be their very own; for he that would seek
Him must believe that He is, and Seek to know Him as their Personal
Father, their Personal Saviour, their Personal associate in the
inner self, the spiritual self the soul is awakened, and one becomes
conscious of it in the patience that may be manifested in this
material world.
Oft has it been said, as of old, Not in the storm, not in the
earthquake, not in that of anything outside of Self may God be found
by man; for to ascend into heaven or to descend into hell He is
there, in thine own heart! The kingdom is within.
When self closes the door to the heart, to the attributes of the
Father, the Son, self Alone separates self from that knowledge, that
power of His love, His attributes, His faith, His knowledge and
power in the earth; "for I am persuaded, neither powers without nor
trials, nor tribulations, may Separate my soul from its Maker."
Only self, made one With His power, denying that He is existent
within self, Separates self from the Maker.
More time must be given to the study of the Holy Word, and more
expression of self must be spent in manifesting those truths before
men. Physically and materially, little may be done to assist the
body physically, unless it wills itself to do such.
Rectified King James Bible
The
Sovereign Hospitallers Order Civil and Military of
the Good News,
through the Manuscripts,
Documents and Records Contained and Preserved in its Central Archives
World Library, has produced a
Rectified King James Bible of the translation of the Texts contained in the King James Bible,
this being in the English Language the translation of Scripture the
one which is closest to the original expression of the text.
Those phrases, paragraphs which where rectified, by that which was
given by Him and through Him, these rectified sections are indicated
and placed in "bold" in the text of the Rectified King James
Bible. The sections of wording, are thus the correction to the text
to that which was actually given, to that which was said, thus its
reading will but bring better comprehension and understanding of the
written word of Him who Is the Saviours the Prince of Peace, the One
who we await and shall come. It is remarkable that the texts in the Bible for more than 2,000
years, it remains faithful to the original message given. It is
indeed only very few wordings, words and sentences, minute but of
interest that the version of the Order of the Good News, is
published under the
title of Rectified King James Bible. The text was rectified, where
needed, in extremely few passages, in order to reflect the correct wording
as that which is kept, preserved and found in the Central Archives of the the Hospitallers
Order of the Good News.
