MEDITATION proofs in the BIBLE
In meditation, you must still the mind, and sit in complete darkness, in order to activate the Pineal gland.
So look at what religion has purposefully not taught you.
2 Chronicles 20
17, Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.
Psalm 46
10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth
2 Chronicles 30
8, Now be ye not stiff necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
Jeremiah 8
14. Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
2 Kings 11
20, And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house. {killing out lower nature}
Psalm 107
30, Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven
Proverbs 1
33, But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Isaiah 30
15, For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Jeremiah 47
6, O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
Acts 19
36, Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
Ezek. 8:12-14
Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
This means when you start to think, and are not in true meditation, "taking no thought" The lord has forsaken you, the earth.
Amos 5:18
"woe unto you that desire the day of the lord; to what end is it for you?The day of the LORD id DARKNESS, and not LIGHT.
Amos 5:20
"Shall the day of the lord be DARKNESS, and not light. Even very DARK."
Matthew 4:16
The people which sat in darkness saw great light;
Psalm 119:97
"O how love I Your law! It is my meditation all the day".
PROOF of the WATCHERS, who are you and I, when we watch in meditation.
And when he awakened during the night, he used the time wisely. "When I remember you upon my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches" (Psalm 63:6).
"Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still" (Psalm 4:4).
JESUS: "what I say to all, I say WATCH"
Why did he say that? Because when you WATCH yourself in meditation, and say "I'm watching myself" You collapse the wave function of photons, coming from above, these photons are messenger particles. And you will receive mail, from the stars (the universe)
Malachi 3:1
1. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
The messenger is the Photon which is a light messenger particle. When the light comes to the temple, then the Lord shall suddenly come to his temple.
Remember the Temple is within you as Jesus said in Luke 17:21 The kingdom of God is within you.
So the messenger or angle of light is the angel of light and then the Lord himself who you seek shall suddenly come to his temple.
LOOK AT JEREMIAH
Let’s break down what is being said here.
KJV Jeremiah 7:2-11
2. Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
There are always 12 gates. There are 12 constellations of the ecliptic. There are 12 signs of the zodiac. There are 12 tribes, 12 disciples surrounding Jesus the Sun God.
This is because there are 12 cranial nerves of the brain.
Standing at the gate of the lords house is entering within yourself at the temple door to the right side. It is there as 1 Kings tells us that the door to the holy place is in the right side.
So you are in meditation.
Sitting, listening, watching.
At that point you are standing in at the gate of the Lords house. And the message then is for those who enter within.
CHANGE YOUR WAYS
Jeremiah 7:3. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
This is an admonition to make changes in all aspects of your thinking and culminate your activities in obedience and meditation and you will then find that you are actually living full time in the Temple of God and receiving constant instruction and healing from the supreme light.
I will cause you to dwell in this place means just that.
Jeremiah 7:4. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these.
This is very specific.
Do not. Repeat. Do not listen to people who try to tell you what the temple of the Lord means.
It can only come to you directly from the source, if you are willing to stand at the gate, in other words to meditate.
If you are willing to do that then you will receive directly from God.
All other words are lying words. It cannot be any plainer.
RELIGION IS TRULY THE ANTI CHRIST
Bill Donahue, Hidden meanings
It was Jesus who said the Kingdom of Heaven is within you and it was Jesus who said that it is religious people who shut that Kingdom up.
They prevent people from going in because they scare people about the need for meditation by saying that there are demons and devils in the mind.
In Matthew 15:14 " it says that religious leaders are blind leaders of the blind."
It's in the bible.
Woe unto scribes and pharisees (lawyers) "You have taken away the key of knowledge. You entered not in yourselves and them that were entering in you hindered."
In other words religion has taken away the key because they don't teach you to meditate.
Psalms18:11 He made darkness his secret place;
Matthew6:6.
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (The closet, means within yourself). The word pray in the bible, means mediation.
Religious prayer is wrong. See here what Jesus said about praying, as the religious do:
They sing songs, chant endless mindless prayers, totally against the biblical commandments, how do I know, because the bible tells me so, it says do not use vein repetition, while giving alms, it says while preying go into thy closet and prey to the father which is in secret, this means meditation.
"This means within you, it means meditation"
Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Amos 5:20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light even very dark,. (This is MEDITATION)
And we have developed convincing evidence that the Pineal Gland which Jacob noted when he saw God face to face, opens and is active in the dark.
In Genesis 32:30 Jacob sees God face to face and calls the place Peniel.
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you that God is light.
So if God is light, and the Pineal Gland is the brains light receptor, then it is reasonable to consider that the Pineal Gland is your bodies God receptor.
Rene Descartes said, The souls contact with the body is in the pineal gland. So if the only way one can communicate with the supreme light is via spirit, and spirit is inner light that is activated via the Pineal Gland, then we have suddenly opened the secret that the worlds religions have totally missed.
"Now that's the whole kit and kabootle"
CHRISTIAN BELIEF IF YOU MEDITATE ABOVE THE THOUGHTS OF THE MIND YOU CAN OPEN YOURSELF TO DEMONS, IS THIS TRUE ?
Unfortunately this is a very misguided opinion that comes from many people in the fundamentalist movement. But the position that they put forth concerning opening ones mind to demons goes directly against the teachings of Jesus Christ.
What are we doing when we enter into meditation. We are seeking direction from the universal God. That which flows from the higher consciousness above the thoughts of the carnal mind.
If we are thus asking direction from "God", who is within us, does it add up that we could possibly receive demons or devils instead.
In Matthew 7:10 Jesus says, " If you ask your father for a fish he will not send you a serpent". Thus we are left with a decision. Shall we trust Jesus who obviously understands the power within, or should we trust fundamentalists who obviously do not.
The Bible symbolically portrays negative and hurtful thoughts as serpents and scorpions. Those thoughts which are so damaging to us. A fundamentalist is afraid of these serpents and scorpions. These thoughts which they refer to as devils and demons. But what did Jesus say.
Luke 10:19 " Behold I give you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you." That seems quite clear. The power of the enemy.
who is the enemy.?
We are told in Romans 8:7 who the enemy is, "the carnal mind which is not subject to Gods law, neither can it be."
When you enter into yourself you are entering into the Kingdom of God. Fundamentalists who do not agree with the teachings of Jesus Christ , frighten people away from this wonderful secret which is only attainable through meditation.
AGAIN, Jesus refers to all people who turn others away from entering within themselves in meditation. AGAIN LOOK AT IT!!!
Luke 11:52 " you have taken away the key of knowledge, you entered not in yourselves and them that were entering in, you hindered."
Mat 23:13 But 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 (teach) ye them (the people) that are entering to go in.
"An ye have entered not in yourselves, therefore you shut up the God's Kingdom, says the Bible"
And where is the Revelation of who dwells in that inner place attainable only through meditation John 14:20," at that time you will know, I am in the Father, you in me and I in you.
If we will trust Jesus and turn our backs on religion, we fill find the Kingdom Of God -within us, and the planet earth will become the planet heaven as was originally intended. We must first remove ourselves from the vestiges of religion, the profane, the unwise and the ignorant.
Is the kundalini in Buddhism?
the last paragraph tells the story
We find the serpent in Buddhism, including the Buddhist god, Magoraga, but the further Buddhism moved from its Hindu roots and the more philosophical it became the less room there was for any god, much less a serpent god.
However, we do have this one story: After his period of sitting under the Bo tree [ or Bodhi tree = Tree of Enlightenment] he sat for seven days under a great banyan tree.
Then he left that tree and went to a tree called 'The Tree of the Serpent King, Muchalinda.' Muchalinda is a huge cobra who dwelt in a hole amongst the tree roots. As the Buddha meditated, unmindful of his surroundings, a large storm arose.
Muchalinda crept out of his hole wrapped himself seven times around the Buddha, and with his great hood, kept his head dry.
providing the serpentine path or serpent or Kundalini energy rising from its hole, the solar plexus area, and when it reaches the brain, its hood protected the buddha and it will protect us in times of storms and struggles.
And its in your bible. WOW!!!!
this as a mythological story dealing with the human body as the tree in this case a banyon tree, and meditation the energy flows along the pathway of the 7 spine nerve centers or chakras, "here its seven days", It takes seven times to destroy the animal nature, the times means, the seven chakras the seven seals.
The third eye is the pineal gland
The purpose of human life is *not* to prepare yourself for death. The purpose of human life is to live, free of fears, guilt, anxieties, and feelings of personal inadequacy. Its the journey, that's it!!!
This is why religion is the anti Christ, because it heaps onto you, fears, guilt, anxieties and inadequacy and tries to convince you, that you are a sinner and not worthy.
And keeps you from embarking on your inner and outer journey. you see, this is just the opposite of what you are supposed to experience in this life.
You are suppose to board your ship, make way and navigate the high seas, explore new worlds, and continue on the journey, and look for the hidden lighthouse.
When the keel speaks, the ship will turn, but those that aren't meditating, will not receive the instructions to turn from the keel, instead it will fall on them.
All this is revealed in the bible, but few read it, and those that do, don't understand it. Because they read it LITERALLY
When you are in total darkness in meditation, the darkness will turn into to light, inside your head, this is GOD.
You just read it!
"I make darkness my secret place"
Meditation is not a boring religious duty. It will enrich and enliven our lives.
But, we must put forth the effort to do it!
"If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them" (John 13:17).
meditation and the bible
explores how the Torahs Prophets used meditation as a tool to foster their prescience.
The book also serves as an incisive gloss on aspects of the Torah, explicating the esoteric meaning underlying various elements of it.
READ ALL THE BELOW VERY CAREFULLY, then reread it again!
Keep in mind one thing when reading the bible: Whenever the bible is talking about the earth, it is really talking about the human being.
The Earth rotates on the same axis and the same plane as the atoms, which make up our bodies. The Earth is 70% water, we are 70% water. Thus, we ARE the Earth.
Therefore, we have a relationship to everything on it, such as plants. We have a relationship based on reciprocity with plants. We breath, they take what we breath, use it, and create oxygen, which we breath in and out, continuing the cycle/circle.
The same goes for space and the stars and other planets, they're all made of the same materials that are within us. The same thing goes for say Black Holes, which are largely melanin.
"If we were created in his image then call us by our names. The nameless one.
Hebrews 66 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Matthew 23:34 Wherefore, 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 scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: The city is always the brain, in Bible symbology.
Where was Jesus crucified, according to the Bible, NOT religion!! Emphasis added!!
Revelation 11:8 "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified."
SODOM
(Did you just read that") The Bible says that our lord was crucified in a place SPIRITUALLY called SODOM and EGYPT.
Did any person of religion ever tell you this? NO! Is the answer, because they dont' know. WHY? Because they don't read their Bibles, instead they go to CHURCH, the FALSE one I might add.
The real Church is MEDITATION, this is the secret.
"I make darkness my secret pace" "Be still and know that I am God"
"Go into thy closet (yourself) and pray to the father in secret"
Sodom and Egypt represent that BARREN place within us, the mind being controlled by the three lower forces, The PHYSICAL, the EMOTIONAL, and the The INTELLECTUAL.
Sodom and Egypt are just symbols of living life at the Gut level, animal mind instincts.
BABYLON is another symbol, that the ancient writers used to describe the desolation, apart from god, or the higher mind.
You have TWO minds, a LOWER mind, and a HIGHER mind. This is the duality of nature, the yin and yang of life.
In the Bible, God wants the lower animal nature to rise to the brain, to receive the Universal COSMIC consciousness. But few ever make it, because it requires one to enter into MEDITATION.
And shutdown the thoughts of the mind. "I have given man the mind of an ANIMAL, until SEVEN times passes by for him" Says God.
These three HORSES, represent the EGO mind. The mind that is in the WORLD. The Bible says you are to be in the WORLD, but not of the WORLD.
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Emphasis added!!!!
Galatians 524 "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." Lusts are things of the physical world.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Sin is the God of the moon, it means living off of your EMOTIONAL nature, which causes all the trouble on this planet.
John 20:17 "Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me. For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But be on your way to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and YOUR Father and to my God and YOUR God."
The Ascension is the kundalini rising to the brain.
"Her" is the left lower emotional mind, that must let go in order to bring about enlightenment.
The human skull and crossbones seem a rather odd Easter symbol. Its use in Christian art stems from the biblical passion story. Jesus, bearing his cross, was led to a small hill called Golgotha, which is Hebrew for "Place of a Skull."
There He was crucified between two thieves. (the two physical eyes) [Mt 27:32-44; Mk 15:22-23;
John 19:17-18] Christian legend states that Golgotha was Adam's grave and the cross was set on top of his skull and bones so that the blood of Christ might flow down upon them cleansing his descendants from original sin.
The skull resting below the cross also represents the belief that Christ was victorious over death The Calvary It is a large rock rising out of the ground, called also Golgotha, in Hebrew it means the the place of the skull.
The word calvary has it's root in latin; the word calvaria, means SKULL in latan. There's all the references one needs to understand that the resurrection takes place in the human SKULL.
It's in your head, your SKULL. Where the real crucifixion takes place.
Golgotha (skull) Calvary (skull), what more do you need?
READ BELOW VERY CAREFULLY!!! and re-read it again!!!

JESUS NOT RESURRECTED (LITERALLY) yet each of us can raise the Christ WITHIN.
Chapter 14/19
A PHYSICAL, LIVE JESUS!
After the due greetings of "Shaloam", Jesus begins calming the disciples' fear for taking him to be a ghost. He says:
"Behold (have a look at) my hands and my feet, that it is I myself (I am the same fellow, man!): handle me and see; for A SPIRIT has no flesh and bones, as you see me have.
(Do you see now, that the resurrection, is not a LITERAL death, but a death of the OLD nature, the Old man.
And he showed them his hands and his feet."
Luke 24:39-40
What was the man trying to prove? That he had been resurrected from the dead. That he was a spirit?
What has the demonstration of hands and feet to do with resurrection? "It is I MYSELF!" Can't you see, you fools!?
"For a SPIRIT ..." any spirit, has "NO flesh and bones, as YOU see ME have!" This is an axiomatic, self-evident truth.
You do not have to convince anybody, whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Atheist or Agnostic. Everyone will acknowledge without any proof that A SPIRIT HAS NO FLESH AND BONES!
"If you can't see this self evident truth THEN YOU ARE SURELY blind" IT'S A SYMBOLIC DEATH OF OUR old man (OLD NATURE) THAT IS CRUCIFIED, NOT LITERALLY A PERSON NAMED JESUS."
IF YOU DO NOT SEE THIS TRUTH, THEN YOU HAVE A DISEASED AND UNBALANCED MIND!!!
*******************************************************************
Jesus is the personification of your INNER potential, if you practice the single eye, as he instructed, in the book of Matthew. But he is a mythological character, he is the SUN in the sky and within you, your (solar plexus).
Verses proving the INNER jesus
Jesus
is IN YOU
2
Corinthians 13:5
5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own
selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus
Christ is in you,
except ye be reprobates?
Colossians
1:27
27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ
in you,
the hope of glory:
Because
the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, is the One who
shined in our hearts to illuminate the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus
Christ.
But we have this
treasure
in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and
not out of us.
2
Corinthians 4:6-7
But
when it pleased God... to reveal His
Son
in
me.
Galatians
1:15-16
I
am crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is
Christ
who lives
in me.
Galatians
2:20
My
children, with whom I travail again in birth until Christ
is formed in you.
Galatians
4:19
“That
Christ
may make His home in your hearts
through faith.
Ephesians
3:17
Romans
8:10
10
And if Christ
be in you,
the body is dead because of sin; but the
Spirit
is life because of righteousness.
Jesus is just a symbol of this process, as is Buddha, Krishna, Horus, Mithra and all past SUN gods. None of them ever existed LITERALLY, except in the minds of those cultists that do not understand the stories, as an inner mystical journey.
"If your eye be single, your whole body will fill with LIGHT"
What is Light. "John 1, "God is LIGHT"
So when you crucify your OLD MAN (SELF), you will become the Christ, the Krishna , the Buddha. (YOU SEE!!!) It is your old dead ANIMAL personality that dies to yourself, and you resurrect to a new life and light. (The higher realm of LIGHT) which is God.
*******************************************************************
WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT YOUR FAMILY TRADITIONS?
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOUR RELIGIOUS AND FAMILY TRADITIONS
A Christian will say that they follow the traditions of those who went before them. They cannot turn their back on that.
So we do all of these traditional things and yet the world becomes more and more violent, more and more turned away from those who have less, more and more turned away from those who are sick ,unless they have enough money to pay to get healed.
Tradition
In Matthew 15:3 Jesus asks why do you transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
The whole failure of life upon the earth to be lived in disease free ,and violence free longevity is based on religious traditions ,and lack of knowledge concerning what is right and what each of us must do that our mind might be changed from the violent behavior of the earth tribes, to the healing behavior of the light tribes.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge I will reject you .
Do you see, the character Jesus, says, since you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will REJECT you!
Strong stuff isn't it. The knowledge that we have comes from religious leaders who are the very ones who have caused the violence and hate upon the earth.
That knowledge comes from the lower mind of ordinary people. Wearing robes maybe, but still ordinary people.
There is only one place where you will find the knowledge that will set you free and protect you from the violent kings of the earth. That knowledge comes via meditation, when you have raised the serpent energy in you, through, the SEVEN seals or Chakras.
This is after the kundalini experience, that you will have.
And some of your friends and family members, when they see you, and hear you speak, they will say, hey man! is that you Bubba, there's something different about you, I can't put my finger on it, but you don't seem like the same person I once new. Of course not, because a change has taken place in your mind.
Then you say, well, go ahead and touch me, feel me, you see It is me, I myself. But you have been changed, the ANIMAL nature that you were born with, no longer controls your thought processes, and the words that come out of your mouth.
God does, and "you will hear utterances and see things, that you can tell not, to anyone" says the bible.
The LIGHT that now resides in the RIGHT hemisphere of your brain, now controls your words and your actions. You will be a changed person.
That is why, they say is that really you?
The entire Bible, every story, from end to end is inside your head, it is an account of mans evolutionary progress out of the gross material matter of the animal quality of his soul, to the higher spiritual mind, from above ( the universe). The COSMOS.
Every prostitute, man, woman, child, bird, dog, goat, cow, ass, pig, snake, city, jerk water town, river, Every symbol; blood, hair, milk, water, stones, iron, brass, clay, dirt, tree, bush, dung heap, fire, sword, pillar, fig, olive tree, seed, disease, pestilence, angel and devil.
Every tribe, cananites, menenites, jebusites, and any other ites, in fact everything including heaven and hell as well as the resurrection are all within you, within in your head (mind), and your physical body.
Given to us from an ancient people in a symbolic form, called mythology, completely misunderstood by the world.
RELIGION HAS PULLED THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES, AND KEPT YOU FROM KNOWING THIS GREAT TRUTH, FOR THEIR OWN POWER AND GREED.
NO LITERAL JESUS WAS RESURRECTED, AS EVIDENCE, FROM THE BIBLE ITSELF.
Yet religion proclaims that a literal Jesus died on a cross, and was resurrected from the dead, that is because, they don't understand that the bible is talking about, resurrecting your dead ANIMAL personality, from the dead barren place in your lower abdomen, at or below the third chakra point. This is where popular religion has it's nose, RELIGION feeds the ANIMAL nature, as Joseph Campbell has so aptly demonstrated.
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
You are the cross, when you outstretch your arms, you'll see that it is YOU that is the cross.
When the energy (CHI) electromagnetism rises through the 33 vertebrae, Jesus dies at age 33.
The energy then culminates at the RIGHT hemisphere of the brain.
In the THIRD ventricle.
Out of body experience in the bible?
"And I knew a man FOURTEEN years above Christ, caught up to the THIRD heaven, one such person, in or out of the body I cannot tell"
Right from your bible, there is the reference to the RIGHT hemisphere, the THIRD heaven.
Once the energy has risen through the SEVEN seals on your backside, you will have an out of body experience, this is the universe, proving to you, that you really are a spirit (LIGHT) animating a physical body.
This is the meaning of meeting Jesus in the air.
Then right after Jacob sees God face to face, in the "land of pineal). the pineal gland of your brain, it says his life is PRESERVED.
I will not get into the meaning of what the PRESERVATION means, it is far too long.
But I will add it to another separate page. But there will be no more reincarnations for your spirit, if you so desire not to.
Calvary
It is a large rock rising out of the ground, called also Golgotha, in Greek and it means the the place of the skull.
Today there are two chapels at the top of the Calvary, one belongs to the Greek Orthodox, and it is believed to be the site of the Crucifixion.
The second where Jesus was stripped of his garments and nailed to the cross and belongs to the Roman Catholics.
And when they were come to the place,which is called Calvary (The skull) there they crucified him and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Luke 23:33
The Tomb (your brain, the cave of Brahma, the cave of Plato etc..., of the Holy Sepulchre interior, of your brain.
Golgotha, the Brain the common name of the spot where Jesus was crucified. It is interpreted by the evangelists as meaning "the place of a skull" (Matt. 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17).
This name represents in Greek letters the Aramaic word Gulgaltha, which is the Hebrew Gulgoleth (Num. 1:2; 1 Chr. 23:3, 24; 2 Kings 9:35), meaning "a skull."
KUNDALINI
Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour." [Isaiah 43:1-3]
JESUS SAID:
But you, do not be called `Rabbi'; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
"And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. "But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. "And whoever exalts himself will be abased, and he who humbles himself will be.
It says call no one on earth your father, except god, why then do we give our reverence and respect to so called holy men of religions and call them FATHER and TEACHERS, when Jesus says NO! He also says call no one Rabbi, except HIM, then the Judaic religion is full of false RABBI's.
If you get the meaning of this, it really means that you can't get salvation from religious piety, from churches built with hands, from so called godly and holy men, and eating oven baked Jesus crackers, because their WORKS are dead.
"Do NOT do after their WORKS" It means do not follow them.The Organized religions and TV evangelists. Do not do as they do, do not allow them to corrupt your mind, do not give them any of your time or energy at all.
Because they didn't teach you the wonderful truth you have learned on this page, they didn't teach you to seek within yourself, and raise the serpent goddess kundalini "through the SEVEN seals on your backside (spine) and see god in the land of pineal as Jesus instructs you to do in the book of Matthew.
It means that the character Jesus is telling us, whoever reads the bible, that these religious men who pray in public, so that people think they are godly, are really ravenous rabid WOLVES and SLIMY VIPERS, "
"Don't pray standing in the streets and synagogues, so that people will think your godly" said Jesus, no, NOT in schools, NOT in churches, NOT in temples, NOT any where; where you might be seen of men."
Instead go into thy CLOSET (meditation) and seek the father in private (WITHIN) for the Kingdom of God is WITHIN you, so why seek where God is not?
Ezek. 8:12-14 Ezek. 8:12-14 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
My comment: Do you see what Is Ra El does in the DARK, this is referencing meditation.
Chambers of imagery, this means when one is thinking, during meditation. "THE LORD SEEITH YOU NOT" that's because you are thinking. You must still the mind. "be still and know that I'm god". "I make darkness (meditation) my secret place" said god.
He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. North in the bible, is always the subconscious mind.
SEE Eziekel: He saw through a hole in the wall, facing north. What he saw was the contents of his own subconscious mind. See if you can see it?
EZIEKEL NORTH
8:3 And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
8:5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. The alter is the mind.
8:6 He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
8:7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
8:8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door. 8:9 And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
8:10, So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
My comment: Do you see, he saw the creepy things, beasts and idols. These are the thoughts in your subconscious mind. Keep reading.
8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
The censer in the spine. Seventy men, is referencing the SEVEN chakras or seals.
8:12, Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
8:13 He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
This is making reference to meditation, when we begin to think, and the flying things, and the creepy things of the mind, keeps us from the silence of meditation, taking no thought.
My comment: Women were weeping for Tammuz, Tammuz is the ancient Sumerian vegetation god, what's he doing in the bible. Tammuz
The Akkadian vegetation-god, counterpart of the Sumerian. Damuzi and the symbol of death and rebirth in nature.
AND, Why do people flock to churches, and ignore Jesus' words.
The assembly was made without sound of tool. (1Ki 5:13-18) SEVEN years it took to build the TEMPLE and all without tools, how can you construct buildings WITHOUT tools? Do you see now ?
Acts 17:24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands Mar 13:1-2 And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings [are here].
And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings?
I cr 3:15 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? God does not dwell in man-made temples.
"there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. No they weren't wearing ear pluds either 1 kngs 6:14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it. "
"It was built and finished without tools by SOL OM ON (city of the sun). 1kngs 6:38 The first of the three buildings was erected by Solomon. It was beautiful, requiring SEVEN years in the construction. "seven years means raising the energy through the SEVEN nerve centers called Chakras"
Acts 7:44-50 a tabernacle for the God of Jacob. But Solomon built Him a House. Howbeit the most High dwells not in temples made with hands; as said the prophet, Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool: what house will you build me? says the Lord: or what is the place of My rest? Has not My hand made all these things?"
Today God dwells in many temples, but they are not made with hands . Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are? (I Corinthians 3:16,17).
Lets see what Jesus really thinks about Churches and temples made with hands.
Mark14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. This is what thinks of temples made WITH HANDS, it says he will destroy them
YOU SEE!! HE SAID, "I will DESTROY THIS TEMPLE that is MADE WITH HANDS, and WITHIN THREE DAYS I WILL BUILD ANOTHER MADE WITHOUT HANDS. " (Notice the three days, you should know what this is referencing by now.)
So much for Jesus' thoughts on Churches.
Because real church, is within you, when you are in meditation.
For as the great prophet Isaiah said?.'What house will ye build the Lord, for His hands has made all these things.' (Isaiah 66: 1-2) But we are his Temple made without hands, designed in his holy divine image.
I'm sure if one looks hard enough he/she could find many more scriptures concerning God's dwelling place, but these should suffice, to get you to see the truth, that God has not dwelt in a made Synagogy, temple, corner church, marvelous cathedral, or in fact any MAN MADE Thing ever.
So why then do YOU go to Temples and Churches made with hands?
Well that's your business I guess, but God will not be present I guarantee it!
It's very clear isn't it? Well isn't it?
IF YOU ALLOW ANY RELIGIOUS GROUP TO CONVERT YOU, THIS WHAT JESUS SAYS YOU WILL BECOME.
Matthew 23:15
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
YOU BE TWICE THE CHILD OF HELL AS THEY ARE.
THOSE ARE JESUS' WORDS!
Sayings of Jesus in the Book of Thomas
Jesus said:
I am the Light that is above them all, I am the All, and the All came from me and the All attained to me. Cleave a piece of wood and I am there; lift up the stone and you will find me there.
When you come to know yourselves then you will become known, and you will realize that is you who are the sons of the living Father.
Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world.
They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. I have cast fire upon the world,and see,I am guarding it until it blazes.
This is a symbolic statement, meaning that Jesus came to divide the lower nature from the higher nature. The fire is a symbol of the fire in the furnace in the book of Daniel, swords are a metaphor for spiritual power.
All religion is evil, because it makes its followers sectarian and intolerant. There is no essential difference between mainline religions and extremist cults and sects.
Wars often have a religious basis, including the terrible events of 9/11/2001, which included the destruction of the World Trade Towers and part of the Pentagon. Some would say we should not blame Islam for the action of extremists.
However, an extreme form of Islam is still Islam, and one of the accepted ways of being religious in Islam is through the Jihad. Indeed, the initial spread of Islam throughout most of its present territory was by Jihad. Islam is no worse than the other religions.
In the first crusade, all inhabitants of Jerusalem were beheaded in the name of Jesus Christ. In the New World, Conquistadors were free to massacre or enslave all who would not be converted to Christianity. India has seen bloody riots and assassinations by Sikhs and Hindus.
In the West, we have learned not to give secular power to religions. That is why the principle of separation of Church and State is fundamental to democracy. What this principle really means is that no religion is ever to be given control over the government and the secular power of governments.
Even now, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart and Benny Hinn would burn witches and heretics if we allowed him to do so.
Every religion and cult teaches its followers that only they are the "chosen people," the elect, the only ones to experience the "rapture" of immediate entry into Paradise as Holy Martyrs.
All others are demonized as "the Great Satan," the anti-christ, the unbelievers.
Only the Chosen People know the truth, they believe. This fuels the fanaticism and intolerance of suicide bombers and suicide pilots who hijack modern airliners and crash them into buildings.
RELIGION HAS DESTROYED MOE BRAIN CELLS THAN THERE ARE STARS IN THE SKY.
The real chosen people of GOD are those that seek within themselves in MEDITATION.
Gospel of Barnabus
"That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not" an-Nisa' 4:157
Christ is referred to as "the divine principle in every human being." She elaborates:
"He who strives to resurrect the Spirit crucified in him by his own terrestrial passions, and buried deep in the 'sepulchre' of his sinful flesh; he who has the strength to roll back the stone of matter from the door of his own inner sanctuary, he has the risen Christ in him."
"We shall see what is called symbolically 'the birth of the Christ,' or the second birth, taking place in many lives, producing on earth a large group of the spiritually new-born. They will be those who have brought together, consciously and within themselves, the two aspects of soul and body.
St. Paul, echoing the Gnostic belief in the saving grace of the indwelling spiritual essence, also referred to "Christ in you, the hope of glory." And, Clement of Alexandria, who died about the year 215 A.D., refers to Christos as "the WAY," the glorified Spirit of Truth and the reunion which makes the soul (the Son) One with the (Father) Spirit.
Gospel of Thomas
"These are the obscure sayings that the living Jesus uttered and which Didymus Jude Thomas wrote down. And he said, "whoever finds the meaning of these sayings will not taste death." (GS-380/1)
Jesus said, "If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you." (tr. by Pagels-70)
WITHIN YOU!! NOT WITHOUT!
"Look not lo here nor lo there, for the kingdom of god is WITHIN you" says the bible.
If it is within you, and IT IS, that is also where this mystical heaven is located as well, WITHIN you.
Yoga means the yoking or union of the brain-mind to a higher source. Through daily meditation the atoms of the physical and superphysical bodies become sensitized to more spiritual levels of divine power.
Texts on yoga give information on the chakras, which are psychospiritual centres along the human spine. Meditate on the fact that you are a spiritual universe called the microcosm. Every human being on Earth is so constructed. There is only one universal religion.
There is only one God. You, as a Monadic Son or Daughter of God, are a divine being. This requires Self-Realisation. You are Gods in the becoming, as one spiritual Brotherhood.
THE TRUE MEANING OF THE CRUCIFIXION
The crucifixion of Christ took place at Golgotha, which means the "place of the skull". That means inside your head. Christ was crucified with two thieves. These three crosses form the 12 zodiacal quadruplicities of cardinal, fixed and mutable signs. You will find the fixed signs of the zodiac listed in detail in Revelation in the Bible.
The zodiac is represented in you by the 12 cranial nerves. The planetary centres run down your spine and are specific to the Seven Churches of Asia in Revelation.
Your Soul was crucified when it entered your physical body. Like the Sun in Winter it was shorn of its power. The Greeks called the body the "soma" or tomb of the Soul. Their word for the body is "soma." Your task is to bring the Soul back to life. For this you need esoteric instruction in a School of the Wisdom.
Golgotha as the skull is ruled by Aries, the Ram or Lamb of God. When Abraham went to sacrifice his son Isaac to God he was told to replace him by a ram. What this means is that the spiritual Monads emerge from the Immaculate Womb of the World in Pisces.
They are born into Aries the Ram, and must go down into incarnation through the Seven Rays of the Pleiades, in the neck of Taurus. The twinning in Gemini causes the new Higher Self to be reborn into the Microcosm through the Gate of Cancer, which rules the womb of the human body.
"He was crucified, dead and buried."
This refers to the state of the Soul in your body during your current life. To recover your Soul powers it is necessary to purify and raise the vibrations of your physical and superphysical bodies. So do not pollute the body with tobacco, alcohol, or drugs.
The lower energies go down into Egypt and then have to be transmuted and raised up the spine from the generative centre of Yesod to Tiphareth in the heart (Sun-Christ).
This is precisely the reason for the Sol-lunar symbolism of the Eucharist. What you are being asked to do is to effect an alchemical marriage on a non-physical level as an interior spiritual experience.
"He rose again from the dead."
You must follow the path of Christ and all other saviours who met and triumphed over crucifixion in the body. This entails control over emotional states and purification of the mind.

The Veil of Allegory
Maimonides speaking of the Book of Genesis said, "We ought not to take literally that which is written in the story of Creation, nor entertain the same ideas of it as are common with the vulgar.
If it were otherwise, our ancient sages would not have taken so much pains to conceal the sense, and to keep before the eyes of the uninstructed the veil of allegory which conceals the truth it contains."
Jerome said, "The most difficult and obscure of the holy books contain as many secrets as they do words, concealing many things even under each word."
Mosheim said that all the Fathers of the second century attributed a hidden and mysterious sense to the words of Scripture.
Origen asked, "What man is so simple as to believe that God, as a gardener planted a garden in the East? That the Tree of Life was a real tree which could be touched, and of which the fruit had the power of conferring immortality?"
This tree mentioned by Origen is the kabalistic Tree of Life or spine in man. Immortality is achieved by the raising of consciousness (in terms of vibrational frequencies) from the Lower Self to the Higher Self, represented by Tiphareth, the heart centre on the middle pillar (spine) of the Kabalistic Tree of Life.
The Mysteries of the Kingdom (I Corinthians)
What man knoweth the things of a man save the Spirit of a man which is in him. (2.11)
We speak not in the words man's wisdom teacheth but which the Holy Ghost (as Light) teacheth. (2.13)
We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory. (2.7)
We speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world. (2.6)
Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. (4.1)
Judge nothing until the Lord comes, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels then shall every man have praise of God. (4.5)
These things I have in a figure (or symbol) transferred to myself (Paul) and to Apollos (Sun-Monad). He will come (illuminate the Lower Self) when he shall have convenient time. (16.12)
The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. (2.14)
We have the mind (Higher Mind) of Christ. (2.16)
READ ALL THE BELOW VERY CAREFULLY, then reread it again!
Keep in mind one thing when reading the bible: Whenever the bible is talking about the earth, it is really talking about the human being.
The Earth rotates on the same axis and the same plane as the atoms, which make up our bodies. The Earth is 75% water, we are 75% water. Thus, we ARE the Earth.
Therefore, we have a relationship to everything on it, such as plants. We have a relationship based on reciprocity with plants. We breath, they take what we breath, use it, and create oxygen, which we breath in and out, continuing the cycle/circle.
The same goes for space and the stars and other planets.. they're all made of the same materials that are within us. The same thing goes for say Black Holes, which are largely melanin.
"If we were created in his image then call us by our names. The nameless one.
Hebrews 66 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Matthew 23:34 Wherefore, 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 scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: The city is always the brain, in Bible symbology.
Where was Jesus crucified, according to the Bible, NOT religion!! Emphasis added!!
Revelation 11:8 "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." (Did you just read that") The Bible says that our lord was crucified in a place SPIRITUALLY called SODOM and EGYPT.
Did any person of religion ever tell you this? NO! Is the answer, because they dont' know. WHY? Because they don't read their Bibles, instead they go to CHURCH, the FALSE one I might add.
The real Church is MEDITATION, this is the secret.
"I make darkness my secret pace" "Be still and know that I am God"
"Go into thy closet (yourself) and pray to the father in secret"
ETC.....
Sodom and Egypt represent that BARREN place within us, the mind being controlled by the three lower forces, The PHYSICAL, the EMOTIONAL, and the The INTELLECTUAL. Sodom and Egypt are just symbols of living life at the Gut level, animal mind instincts.
BABYLON is another symbol, that the ancient writers used to describe the desolation, apart from god, or the higher mind.
You have TWO minds, a LOWER mind, and a HIGHER mind. This is the duality of nature, the yin and yang of life.
In the Bible, God wants the lower animal nature to rise to the brain, to receive the Universal COSMIC consciousness. But few ever make it, because it requires one to enter into MEDITATION. And shutdown the thoughts of the mind. "I have given man the mind of an ANIMAL, until SEVEN times passes by for him" Says God.
These three HORSES, represent the EGO mind. The mind that is in the WORLD. The Bible says you are to be in the WORLD, but not of the WORLD.
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Emphasis added!!!!
Galatians 524 "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." Lusts are things of the physical world.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Sin is the God of the moon, it means living off of your EMOTIONAL nature, which causes all the trouble on this planet.
The human skull and crossbones seem a rather odd Easter symbol. Its use in Christian art stems from the biblical passion story. Jesus, bearing His cross, was led to a small hill called Golgotha, which is Hebrew for "Place of a Skull." There He was crucified between two thieves. (the two physical eyes) [Mt 27:32-44; Mk 15:22-23;
John 19:17-18] Christian legend states that Golgotha was Adam's grave and the cross was set on top of his skull and bones so that the blood of Christ might flow down upon them cleansing his descendants from original sin.
The skull resting below the cross also represents the belief that Christ was victorious over death The Calvary It is a large rock rising out of the ground,called also Golgotha, in Hebrew it means the the place of the skull.
The word calvary has it's root in latin; the word calvaria, means SKULL in latan. Thers's all the references one needs to understand that the resurrection takes place in the human SKULL.
It's in your head, your SKULL. Where the real crucifixion takes place.
Golgotha (skull) Calvary (skull), what more do you need?
ONE MORE TIME, with some additions.
WHAT WAS THE SIGN OF JONAH?
"CHRIST" NOT A NAME
Over a thousand million Christians today blindly accept that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. They produce "a thousand and one" prophecies from the Jewish Bible (the Old Testament) to prove their claim that Jesus was the Messiah promised to the Jews. Let us hold the thousand" prophecies in abeyance for a moment and examine the only unequivocal claim made by Jesus in the Gospels and examine whether he fulfilled his promise to the Jews.
We must admit that the word CHRIST is not a name. It is a title. It is a translation of the Hebrew word Messiah, meaning "anointed." The Greek word for "anointed" is Christos from which we get the word Christ.
Priests and kings were "anointed" when being consecrated to their office. The Holy Bible confers this title even on a heathen king CYRUS (Isaiah 45:1).
We are reminded in the Gospel of St.Luke that "WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CIRCUMCISING OF THE CHILD, HIS NAME WAS CALLED JESUS, WHICH WAS SO NAMED OF THE ANGEL BEFORE HE WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB." (Luke 2:21).
The name that was given to Mary for her yet unborn son was JESUS and NOT Christ. It was only after his baptism at the hands of John the Baptist that he, Jesus, claimed to be the Christ. The Jews were not the ones to accept his claim on its face value. They wanted proof!
MIRACLE AS PROOF
Matthew records that the learned men among the Jews - the Scribes and Pharisees - came to Jesus and asked, "MASTER, WE WOULD SEE A SIGN FROM THEE". (Matthew 12:38).
What they really wanted was some "magic trick," some "sleight of hand" like producing a rabbit out of a hat or walking on the water or flying in the air or trodding on burning coal.
This is the type of "sign" or MIRACLE they were looking for. The Jews mistook him for a sorcerer, a wizard, a charlatan.
NO "SIGN" BUT ONE
With righteous indignation Jesus replies: "AN EVIL AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN (no miracle) BE GIVEN TO IT, BUT THE SIGN (miracle) OF THE PROPHET JONAS: FOR AS JONAS WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE WHALE'S BELLY; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH." Matthew 12:39-40).
Jesus says, "NO SIGN."
He does not refer the Jews to blind Bartimeus whose sight he had restored. He does not speak about the "woman with issues" who was healed by merely touching him; or about the 2000 pigs he had destroyed to heal "a man possessed;" or the 5000 and the 3000 people he had fed and satiated with a few pieces of fish and a few pieces of bread. "No sign," says Jesus, BUT ONE! "THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET JONAS!"
He is putting all his "eggs" in one basket. His claim to being the Messiah (Christ) stands or falls the ONLY "sign" he was prepared to give.
Did Jesus fulfill the only sign he gave? Christendom answers with a unanimous Y-E-S! without heeding the Biblical advice - 'not to take things for granted, but "PROVE ALL THINGS!" (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
JONAH FLEES HIS CALL
What was the "sign" (miracle) of Jonah? We have to go to the "Book of Jonah" in the Old Testament to find out. God commanded Jonah to go to Nineveh and warn the Ninevites to repent from their "evil ways, and from the violence that is in their hands." (Jonah 3:8) But Jonah was loath to go as a warner unto the Ninevites, so he goes to Joppa instead of Ninevah, and takes a boat to run away from the Lord's command.
While at sea, there was a terrible tempest. According to the superstition of the mariners, a person fleeing from his Master's command creates such a turmoil at sea. They began to enquire among themselves and said, "COME, AND LET US CAST LOTS, (like the tossing of a coin, "head" or "tail") THAT WE MAY KNOW FOR WHOSE CAUSE THIS EVIL IS UPON US. SO THEY CAST LOTS, AND THE LOT FELL UPON JONAH." (Jonah 1:7).
Though here was a temporary lapse on the part of Jonah in fulfilling his mission, he manfully and most outrageously volunteers: "AND HE SAID UNTO THEM TAKE ME UP, AND CAST ME FORTH INTO THE SEA; SO SHALL THE SEA BE CALM UNTO YOU: FOR I KNOW THAT FOR MY SAKE THIS GREAT TEMPEST IS UPON YOU." (Jonah 1:12)
DEAD OR ALIVE?
Since Jonah was selflessly offering himself as a "vicarious" sacrifice there was no need for strangling him before throwing him into the sea, no need to spear him or break his arm or limb.
In his own words: "TAKE ME UP AND CAST ME FORTH."
The question now arises, that when the shipmaster and the crew threw him overboard, was Jonah dead or alive? Any Christian child who has attended Sunday School will give an immediate reply: "ALIVE!" The storm subsides. Was this perhaps a coincidence? A fish swallows Jonah.
Was he dead or alive when swallowed? The answer again is "ALIVE" Was he dead or alive when "JONAH PRAYED UNTO THE LORD HIS GOD OUT OF THE FISH'S BELLY?" (Jonah 2:1)
Surely dead men don't cry and don't pray! The answer again is "ALIVE" For three days and three nights the fish takes him around the ocean: dead or alive? "ALIVE!" is the answer.
On the third day it vomits him on the seashore: dead or alive? A-L-I-V-E, of course! What had Jesus prophesied about himself? He said: "AS JONAH WAS SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE" LIKE JONAH. And how was Jonah? Was he dead or alive for three days and three nights?
Alive! ALIVE! ALIVE! is the unanimous answer from the Jew, the Christian and the Muslim!
UNLIKE JONAH
If Jonah was alive for three days and three nights, then Jesus also ought to have been alive in the tomb as he himself had foretold! But Christianity hangs on the flimsy thread of the death" of Jesus for its salvation. So it has to answer that Jesus was DEAD for three days and three nights.
The contradiction between his utterance and its fulfilment is obvious. Jonah ALIVE, Jesus DEAD! Very UNLIKE Jonah! Jesus had said "LIKE Jonah" not UNLIKE Jonah.
If this is true then according to his own test Jesus is not the TRUE Messiah of the Jews. If the Gospel record is genuine then how can we blame the Jews for rejecting "CHRIST".
THREE AND THREE = 72 HOURS?
The Doctor of Divinity and the Professor of Theology replies that in Matthew 12:40 under discussion, the emphasis is on the TIME factor "as Jonas was THREE days and THREE nights in the belly of the whale, so shall the son of man be THREE days and THREE nights in the heart of the earth."
"Please note," says the learned theologian, "that the word "THREE" is repeated F-O-U-R times in this verse to prove that Jesus was going to fulfil the prophecy as regards the length of time he was going to remain in the tomb, and NOT 'As Jonas was' in relation to his being alive or dead.
If it is the time factor that Jesus was stressing then let us ask whether he fulfilled that aspect of his promise to the Jews as well. The Christian dogmatist answers: "OF COURSE!"
PUBLIC HOLIDAY
The question arises: when was Christ crucified? The whole Christian world answers: "FRIDAY!" Is this the reason we celebrate "Good Friday" as a Public Holiday in every Christian nation from America to Zambia, from Abyssinia to Zaire at Easter? What makes Good Friday" so good? "it is the death of Christ on the Cross on this day to wash off our sins," says the Christians. So he was killed on the cross on a Friday, 19xx years ago? "YES!" says the Christians.
From the Gospel records we gather that the Jews were in a hurry to eliminate Jesus. Hence the midnight trial, and then dispatching him off to Pilate in the morning; from Pilate to Herod and then back again to Pilate. The vested interests were afraid of the general public. Jesus was their hero. He had been their benefactor. His enemies had to do away with him quickly, and succeeded in doing so.
However, as much as they were in a hurry to hang him on the cross, they were in equal hurry to bring him down from the cross before sunset on Friday because of the Sabbath.
The Sabbath starts at about 6 p.m. on Friday and the Jews were warned in Deuteronomy 21:23 that the victim of crucifixion was an "accursed of God" and was not to be permitted to remain hanging on the Sabbath day, "that thy land be not defiled which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."
To satisfy the religious scruples of the Scribes and Pharisees the "secret disciples" of Jesus took down the body from the cross. They gave the body the Jewish burial-bath, plastered it with "one hundred pounds weight of aaloes and myrrh" (John 19:39), then placed the shrouded body into the sepulcher before night-fall.
WHY "SUPPOSED"?
There are numerous differences between the various sects and denominations of Christianity, but on the above they are unanimous. Jesus is SUPPOSED to be in the tomb on the night of Friday. He is still SUPPOSED to be in the tomb on the day of Saturday. He is still SUPPOSED to be in the tomb on the night of Saturday. Christians agree whole-heartedly with this.
It will be noted that I have repeated the word 'SUPPOSED' three times. The reason is that the Gospels are silent as to when exactly Jesus came out of the tomb. He could have been taken away on Friday night by his "secret disciples" to a more congenial and restful place, but I have no right to assume about what the Gospel writers are silent. I have, therefore, repeated the word 'SUPPOSED' three times.
In the final analysis, let us see whether Jesus was THREE days and THREE nights in the tomb:-
EASTER WEEK
IN THE SEPULCHER
DAYS
NIGHTS
FRIDAY - placed in tomb just before sunset
- nil -
One night
SATURDAY - supposed to be in tomb
One day
One night
SUNDAY - missing before sunrise
- nil -
- nil -
TOTAL
One Day
Two Nights
You will no doubt note that the GRAND TOTAL is ONE day and TWO nights, and NOT three days and three nights.
According to the Christian Scriptures Jesus had failed a SECOND time. FIRST he was unlike Jonah, who was ALIVE in the belly of the fish, which is the exact opposite of what the Christians claim had happened to their master Jesus, who was DEAD for the same period of time as Jonah was ALIVE
SECONDLY, we discover that he also failed to fulfill the TIME FACTOR as well. The greatest mathematician in Christendom will fail to obtain the desired result THREE days and THREE nights. We must not forget that the Gospels are explicit in telling us that it was "before sunrise" on Sunday morning (the FIRST day of the week), that Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it empty.
"GOOD" WEDNESDAY
The Armstrong family has debunked the whole Christian world. They seem to know their arithmetic! Mr Robert Fahey of the "Plain Truth" magazine, delivered a lecture recently at the "Holiday Inn,' Durban, where I was present.
Mr Fahey attempted to prove to his Christian audience that Jesus Christ was crucified on a Wednesday and not on Friday, as is supposed by Orthodox Christianity for the past two thousand years. According to him if one counts backwards from Sunday morning deducting 3 DAYS and 3 NIGHTS, one ought to get WEDNESDAY as the answer.
I congratulated Mr Fahey for his ingenuity. I asked him, how was it possible for the past two thousand years the whole Christian world celebrated GOOD FRIDAY instead of GOOD WEDNESDAY. Thus the 1,200,000,000 Christians of the world today are ignorant of the correct day of the so called crucifixion!
It means that even the Roman Catholic Church which claims an unbroken chain of Popes from Peter to this day according to Mr Fahey are mislead.
GOD OR THE DEVIL?
The question arises, who deceived the millions of Christians for the past TWO THOUSAND years. GOD or the DEVIL? Mr Fahey categorically answered: "THE DEVIL!"
"If the devil," I said, "can succeed in confusing the Christians in the most elementary things of their Faith, whether to celebrate a Good Friday or a Good Wednesday, then how much easier for him to mislead Christians in other things concerning God?" Mr Fahey blushed and walked away.
If this is the belief of the trend-setters of the Christian Faith in the world today, may we not then ask: is this not the mightiest hoax in history?
Christians cannot count!!!

JESUS NOT RESURRECTED (LITERALLY) yet each of us can raise the Christ WITHIN.
Chapter 14/19
A PHYSICAL, LIVE JESUS!
After the due greetings of "Shaloam", Jesus begins calming the disciples' fear for taking him to be a ghost. He says:
"Behold (have a look at) my hands and my feet, that it is I myself (I am the same fellow, man!): handle me and see; for A SPIRIT has no flesh and bones, as you see me have.
(Do you see now, that the resurrection, is not a LITERAL death, but a death of the OLD nature, the Old man.The OLD PERSONALITY, controlled by the lower OLD man, a RENEWING of the mind.
And he showed them his hands and his feet."
Luke 24:39-40
What was the man trying to prove? That he had been resurrected from the dead. That he was a spirit?
What has the demonstration of hands and feet to do with resurrection? "It is I MYSELF!" Can't you see, you fools!?
"For a SPIRIT ..." any spirit, has "NO flesh and bones, as YOU see ME have!" This is an axiomatic, self-evident truth.
You do not have to convince anybody, whether Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Atheist or Agnostic. Everyone will acknowledge without any proof that A SPIRIT HAS NO FLESH AND BONES!
"If you can't see this self evident truth THEN YOU ARE SURELY blind" IT'S A SYMBOLIC DEATH OF OUR old man (OLD NATURE) THAT IS CRUCIFIED, NOT LITERALLY A PERSON NAMED JESUS."
"He was crucified, dead and buried." "And arose from the dead"
Furthermore a "spirit" cannot consume food.
Jesus ate a piece of broiled fish with his disciples after His resurrection from The Tomb (Luke 24:42-43).
Revelation 11:8. And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. You SEE! It's SPIRITUAL PLACE, not a LITERAL place, as religion and the Church proclaim.
Deuteronomy 30:11 we find:
"For this law that I enjoin on you today is not beyond your strength nor beyond your reach. It is not in heaven, so that you need to wonder, "Who will go up to heaven and bring it down to us, so that we may hear it and keep it?"
Nor is it beyond the seas, so that you need to wonder, "Who will cross the seas for us and bring it back to us, so that we may hear and keep it?" No, the Word is very near to you, it is in your mouth and in your heart for your observance."
How could it be any more clear? Jesus says that those who say the kingdom of heaven is in the sky - those who take the letter of the law and squeeze the life out of - will be sorely disappointed because the birds will get their first.
Those who think it is in the sea, perhaps in some dark place where we must retreat in order to find it, are also sadly mistaken. The kingdom-consciousness is not measured in miles, but in heartbeats, for it's right there, inside.
Jesus' message goes unheard when people insist that the main part of Christianity is for one to be saved and then to wait until a future time when the Kingdom of Heaven is lowered down from the sky like theater scenery. Anyone can say, "Lord, Lord", that takes no effort or talent whatsoever. But for the Christian mystic, the kingdom unfolds within us and is made by our actions.
This is your LIGHT (soul) that has descended into the tomb of matter (the physical body). The body (or animal) mind has to be symbolically crucified, so that the soul can rise from the dead animal personality controlled by the three lower forces, the lunar triad, or the physical, the emotional and the intellectual.
No it's not a miracle, it's simply a spiritual fact and practice called kundalini yoga.
The movement of the soul energy through each evolution of the seven chakras. Then there will be no more hell hounds on your trail. You will have risen from the dead (symbolically and literally).
A renewed mind or consciousness. Touch me feel me, see it's me, I'm the same physically, but not mentally. I have undergone a change, a transformation.
This what the whole of the crucifixion story is about. The renewing of your mind. From the dead animal mind, to the cosmic mind of Good.
Religion has corrupted this wonderful truth, and kept the real meaning from you for a thousand years. But now you know the truth, there is nothing to believe, you just read the truth, so it's not a matter of faith of any kind of belief, but KNOWING.
"look no lo here, nor lo there, for the kingdom of GOD is WITHIN you"
NOUGH SAID!
The offering of Isaac by Abraham means the same thing. Your Soul must descend into the tomb of the physical body to acquire spiritual knowledge. When the Soul reaches perfection by repeated incarnations it is said "to go out no more" from its Father's kingdom.
The Veil of Allegory
Maimonides speaking of the Book of Genesis said, "We ought not to take literally that which is written in the story of Creation, nor entertain the same ideas of it as are common with the vulgar.
If it were otherwise, our ancient sages would not have taken so much pains to conceal the sense, and to keep before the eyes of the uninstructed the veil of allegory which conceals the truth it contains."
Jerome said, "The most difficult and obscure of the holy books contain as many secrets as they do words, concealing many things even under each word."
Mosheim said that all the Fathers of the second century attributed a hidden and mysterious sense to the words of Scripture.
Origen asked, "What man is so simple as to believe that God, as a gardener planted a garden in the East? That the Tree of Life was a real tree which could be touched, and of which the fruit had the power of conferring immortality?"
This tree mentioned by Origen is the kabalistic Tree of Life or spine in man. Immortality is achieved by the raising of consciousness (in terms of vibrational frequencies) from the Lower Self to the Higher Self, represented by Tiphareth, the heart centre on the middle pillar (spine) of the Kabalistic Tree of Life.
The Mysteries of the Kingdom (I Corinthians)
What man knoweth the things of a man save the Spirit of a man which is in him. (2.11)
We speak not in the words man's wisdom teacheth but which the Holy Ghost (as Light) teacheth. (2.13)
We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory. (2.7)
We speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world. (2.6)
Let a man so account of us as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. (4.1)
Judge nothing until the Lord comes, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the counsels then shall every man have praise of God. (4.5)
These things I have in a figure (or symbol) transferred to myself (Paul) and to Apollos (Sun-Monad). He will come (illuminate the Lower Self) when he shall have convenient time. (16.12)
The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned. (2.14)
We have the mind (Higher Mind) of Christ. (2.16)
THE TRUTH OF MYTHOLOGY
The nub of this whole debate is the failure of modern scholarship to comprehend in full truth the nature and function of the myth.
Through stolid inertia of mind and the process of insensible shifts of conception that in time twist the primal sense of words over into some secondary or subordinate aspect of relevance, the modern mind has come to read into this word "myth" the meaning of untruth, something imaginatively conceived, fantastic, bearing no relation to reality. By myth a modern writer now means a story that is not true.
This meaning falls so far out of line with the true original connotation that it now stands as the exact opposite of the primal significance. The ancient myth was the truest of all stories.
It always carried more truth than history. Modernity worships the barren record of objective history and derogates the myth; the sagacity of the ancient day worshipped the myth and derogated, in fact virtually ignored, the objective history.
Being admittedly imaginative and fictional in outward form and content, it made no pretence to factual objectivity.
The story, with actors, characters and incidents, never happened as narrated.
And nobody was supposed to be so naïve, so stupid as to "believe" it.
But into the story the genius of dramatism inwove the design of conceptual structure, the pattern of a truth, the plot of an ideogram, concocting situations that gave the mind a veritable picture of some aspect of truth that history in the large was telling or was destined to unroll.
The myth wrapped up in a fiction the meaning, the structure of history that was, is and is to be.
It was a brilliantly ingenious methodology of presenting in the frame of a human story the idea-forms which, as Plato shows us, were the grand bases of speculative philosophy in his day, as also in old Egypt, and which he demonstrated to be the thought-forms over the pattern of which the creative Mind of the Logos framed the universe.
So the myth, it might be said, was a cosmic ideograph in fictional disguise. Apollo really did not let his son Phaeton drive the chariot of the sun across the sky and scorch the earth; but the conceptual structure dramatized by the story is a truth of vital import.
Theseus did not penetrate Minos’ labyrinth, slay the great bull and follow Ariadne’s thread to find his way out. But, at the level of intellectual insight the story tells the great truth that man’s soul must enter an underworld full of devious intricacies, find and slay the fierce and doughty animal nature and by the thin light of a divine intuition make his way back to the light of an upper world.
The day in which modern superciliousness bred by the presumption of superior knowledge can belittle and deride the majestic structures of classical mythology is fortunately close to its evening dusk.
When we catch enough of the spirit of the ancient mythicists to begin to interpret aright the myths and release the glowing intelligence hidden in those recondite constructions, the world may at last emerge from its "Dark Ages" of religious superstition.
When MacCulloch, therefore, contends, as he persists in doing in face of a mountain of research data establishing the contrary thesis, that the descent narrative in early Christian literature is to be accounted for without admitting any derivation from prior Pagan mythology, he is both defying evidence and merely venting the force of an inveterate Christian or modernistic prejudice which has steadily dominated Christian scholarship over the centuries and still obsesses Christian psychology.
The theme of the hero descending and freeing souls bound in an underworld limbo comes close to being the central and pivotal feature of ancient religious philosophy.
The evidence back of this statement is voluminous and clear. But it has to be examined to be known. No doubt it has all seemed to Christian mentality so bizarre, so childishly grotesque, so unrelated to reality as to be dismissed with contempt.
But this is because the Christian mind has been conditioned that all Pagan religion, with all its literature that ran so strongly to mythicism, was nothing better than puerile naïveté of mind, the wild conceptions of child-minded primitive peoples.
The myths were condemned as fantastic nonsense and this attitude occluded the possibility of discerning their meaning and their importance.
Finally, that the descent tradition, couched in the language and forms of mythology, was a structure that carried the meaning of not one single man’s descent from the cross of this earth life down into some nameless limbo called Hades, hell, Amenta, Sheol, Tophet, but the descent of hosts of divine soul units, sent out from heaven to be the child-deity that is cradled through infancy, roused or resurrected in his youth to conscious functioning of his divine genius and finally grown to the fullness of the stature of the nature of Christhood within the temple of every mortal’s heart and mind, is as clear to capable scholarship as any such abstrusity can be. It happens to be irrefutably, incontrovertibly true.
MacCulloch assumes to conclude his case with the statement that the Christian movement did not pick up the descent tradition from Pagan mythology; they could and presumably did devise their own myths. How devastatingly true that statement is our author could hardly have guessed or believed.
The ancients devised their great myths, every feature of which betokened some facet of sublime truth.
The Christians, in the form of their weird misinterpretation of these creations, or out of their own misguided conceptual efforts, also devised the "myths" that, parading in the false disguise of truth, have derationalized and enslaved the Western mind.
The tragic word that has to be spoken in the summary of this theme is that these concretions of the Christian mind that constitute Christian theology are myths in the bad modern sense, things fantastically untrue.
It has to be said that they do not dramatize truth, but wildly caricature it. The true myth has two aspects, literal falsity (that deceives nobody) and inner subjective truth.
Paganism kept the two phases entirely distinct; but Christianity confused the two, mistaking the outer falsity for truth.
Therefore its presentation of these ancient formulations has been untrue and harmfully deceptive. The affirmation of their literal-historical truth, which at once becomes untruth, practically kills the power of their inward verity.
By obsessing the believer’s consciousness with such a story, for instance, as that of the bodily crucifixion of one man on a wooden cross, and offering this as the Creator’s device for the salvation of his earthly children, the Christian system of pious faith has so enfeebled the message of man’s true spiritual regeneration as to have reduced it almost to a moral and intellectual nullity.
In persuading the West’s millions for centuries that thrice dousing the head with water, along with the recital of the names of the triune deity, will insure the individual’s sanctification in perpetuity, the Church of Christ again robs the devotee of the dynamic knowledge that the immersion of the unit of his soul power in the water of the body will give it the experience required to consummate a truly deific beatification.
And by the inculcation in generation after generation of the belief that in partaking of the bread and wine in the physical celebration of the Eucharist, the member partakes magically of the actual body and blood of the man of Galilee, the psychological forces that might enrich the spirit are dissipated out in an empty fancy.
Without exception every doctrine of this folly-ridden system has thus been distorted from truth and illuminating power into palsying falsity of alleged history.
Almost every traditional faith of peoples the world over rests on a central story of the son of a heavenly King going down into a dark lower world, there suffering, dying and rising again and returning to its native upper world.
The failure of Christian intelligence to see that their basic theology is just a gross stolid literalization, and then the conjured historization of this universal legend in the hypostatized biography of just one of the many dramatic type-figures, who was no more a living man than some thirty to fifty others similarly delineated and all antecedent to him in time must be seen ere long in its true light, as the most colossal demonstration of intellectual ineptitude in all history.
As has had so often to be said in the treatment of this chapter of religious development, it has held the mind of Western humanity under the spell of a hallucination that has strewn the path of Occidental history with the sad wreckage of life and happiness. It is by no means an overstretching of the truth to assert that it has hypnotized the Western mentality.
It can almost certainly be said, and with truth, that no religion in the world has ever put forth the belief that the demise of the physical body has ended the existence of the soul that animated that body.
Likewise no religion has ever taught or conceived except in the grossest mental depravity that the decaying cadaver of the deceased human is reassembled after corruption, reintegrated and restored to former physical existence.
Therefore the Christian linking of the resurrection doctrine with the death and restoration of their hero’s physical body wrecked the doctrine utterly.
The death that was overcome on Easter morn is soul’s "death" and that not of one man’s soul, but the souls of all men that live, which "he" typified.
And finally, that the traditional allegory of the Christ-soul’s descent from heaven into a dark nether region to awaken the hosts of the earth’s former dead could ever have been sanely made relevant to any other locality than our good earth itself, is again the incredible miscarriage of Western intelligence.
When this benighted condition can be ended by the dawn of understanding, when it is known in what we call the scientific manner that every intimation of the allegories has immediate pertinence to our own life in this dark underworld, and that the Scriptures are all sheer poetic dramatization of the deep ignorance we yet struggle through toward the day of our glorious transfiguration into sons of God, then will our sacred Scriptures become once again shining lamps lighting our path up the heights of wondrous being.
Then can the truth and the beauty of the resurrection ritual enlighten our reason and truly sanctify our spiritual minds as we hear the thrilling strains of the Easter choral.
It has been well pointed out that myth and legend are truer than history, for they take us to the inside of things, whereas history only shows us the outer illusion.
Joseph Campbell
Matthew 24:3-31 (King James Version)MYTHOLOGY of the end of the WORLDLY man, worldly EGO mind.
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) This means to enter into meditation.
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.Clothes represent the EGO.
And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before.
Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. This is the renewed mind.
