THE DISCIPLES CONFUSION

The answer can be found in the following Scriptures given by Jesus in reply to questions from His Disciples regarding the End-time. The singularly-strong aspect here is the clear statement that The One to come would instruct in all the Truth, meaning that Jesus had not done so. In other words, what He was able to give for that particular point in human spiritual evolution and have it at least basically understood, was just a part of the whole, not the complete thing. In necessary reinforcement, this is so stated in John 16:12:

“I have still much more to tell you; but you are not able to bear it.”

In other words, even though instructed by The Son of God Himself to a far deeper level of knowledge than certainly any other human beings to that time, the greater degree of understanding that humankind still required could not be imparted to the Disciples then. It was simply too much for them to understand or assimilate. Therefore another, The Other, would have to come and bring all The Truth.

Here we see, again, the personal pronoun, always the personal pronoun, wherewith Jesus --- as The Son of God --- differentiates Himself from the One Who Comes as The Son of Man (The Holy Spirit). The, so-called, “Second Coming of Christ” has been “accepted” as a non-negotiable event for centuries by virtually all Christian groups. The ostensible sureness of that happening as espoused by global Christendom, however, is clearly thrown into question if we assess that particular Scriptural statement objectively.

For if The Other is to come -- the word-concept if only being used for the purposes of this discussion of the moment -- such a crucial event must ultimately shake the very foundation of all religions and all science. In fact, it would impact on every facet of what it means to be a human being resident in Subsequent Creation at this time. And whether one is on earth or passed from it would be completely irrelevant.

The quandary for the global Christian community of if/should/when centred on the ostensible return of Jesus and not any thought for the Coming of The Other, presupposes the probability that Christianity/humankind, in general disbelief anyway, will ignore it and continue to embrace, instead, totally different and therefore wrong concepts, which is the position Christendom has chosen. Since this is just an exercise in “what if” and “maybe”; and because He has already been, the result for the greater mass of Christians, particularly, cannot now ever be as they hope or imagine.

Whilst we may accept that Jesus indicated He would “return”, He did not say where or how, or precisely why. In other words, in what “form” would such a “return” occur and for what purpose, given that The Other -- the actual Bringer of the All-Truth -- would be here on Earth with [His] All-Truth? Is this another Bible mystery? No, it is not! For the complete knowledge contained within that All-Truth gives us that answer too. However, reader; because such a revelation would surely be mocked, we will not divulge the year in which that precious and illuminating Event occurred.

What we may deduce, therefore, is that inherent within the encompassing All-Truth which Jesus Himself stated would be brought to Earth by The Other, would be revealed the how and why of a very brief but nonetheless exceptionally spiritually-powerful, non-physical, “return” by Jesus! What we therefore now have is a new knowledge of a “dual working” of Two Sons of God: In this case, for a brief moment in time in order that Divine Ordination be fulfilled for earthly humanity. The very same EVENT of which, perversely, the greatest majority not only remain obtusely oblivious, but would no doubt reject out of hand!

If we now look to The Revelation in Fenton’s Bible, Chapter 1 Verses 4 and 5, (our defining introductory quote to this Chapter) we should singularly note, in strict objectivity, a further strong statement of differentiation between The Two.

It is patently clear from the above Scripture that there is more than just one “One”. Moreover, the strongly denoted separative-conjunction, “and”, draws a clear line of demarcation between Jesus and The Other -- The One “Who Is, Who Was and Who Comes”! This key Scripture reveals the fact very clearly for: “...the seven spirits are before His Throne...” And it is the throne of “He Who Comes...”

Thus, in very necessary, repetitive-reinforcement in this crucial case: The One Enthroned is --- The One Who Comes!

He Who Comes, therefore, cannot possibly be GOD, The Creator, Himself, because it is not “The Almighty” Who comes to Earth. (If it were even possible to begin with, the whole of the “Material Worlds” -– in all its humanly-incomprehensible immensity –- would be utterly consumed by His Power.)

For how could He possibly be The Eternal Mediator Who would thus have to, very illogically, stand as the link between humankind and Himself? That is clearly an unworkable reality, and certainly a very foolish notion. That role belongs to The One appointed for the Task. The One “Who is, Who Was and Who Comes”-- The Alpha and the Omega -- The Word of God Who exists!

Therefore, as we have Proclaimed many times I think thus far --- and will do so again in future Discourses ----- for that is the Appointed purpose of this Work under its Ordained Mandate! Therefore, for your continuing conscious existence in His Creation, especially you billions of followers of Islam, Christianity and Judaism: Recognise and really understand this Absolute Truth, for you cannot ever change It!

The One Enthroned is thus “The One Who Comes”. For He it is Who is The Eternal Mediator, The Holy Spirit, The Son of Man. He is that Part out of GOD Who Comes as HIS Will.

Despite the crystal-clear logic of our explanations, we would yet be safe in commenting that the general, broad interpretation by many of the mainstream Christian Churches of the crucial message to John about “Who is to Come” would teach that Jesus in the presence of The One Enthroned would be interpreted as Jesus in the immediate presence of GOD Who, of course, would naturally be Enthroned!

However, as is brutally clear from the very logic inherent in this whole analysis, and which we will restate again: The One Who is Enthroned, is also The One Who Comes, so therefore cannot possibly be GOD! For “HE” is “THE ALMIGHTY” Who cannot descend to the earth! That “HE” is thus THE ONE Whom; “...no man hath seen at any time”!

Therefore, in logic brutal and clear, the very fact that the blessed recipient of this vision in the first place could behold The One upon The Throne, automatically tells us that He Who can be seen Enthroned cannot possibly be THE CREATOR. The One seen Enthroned above All Creation and designated as The Lord is the Living, Creative, aspect of God. Surely now, we’ve all finally “gotten this”!

The entry onto the earth of The One Who Comes with the complete and Perfect Whole of the All-Truth would thus ultimately fulfil the prophecies of Jesus and statements of Paul in that it would render any accumulated knowledge and belief, past and present, individual and collective, religious and scientific -- that did not perfectly accord with it -- irrelevant, and therefore useless. That is exactly the “in part” that shall be “done away”; and the “imperfect” that will “become useless”. It is when “all imperfect things will disappear”.

Thus, it is actually for this present era of humanity with its concomitant spiritual and technological development that the whole, the complete, the perfect, was intended for. And the One Who Comes is The One Who would bring it. The same Who, as The Spirit of Truth, Jesus was to send. Moreover, the All-Truth that He would bring would speak of Jesus, as we have previously stated.

A very crucial message of Jesus to His Disciples clearly reveals the obvious fact that He is telling them about The Other Son — Who is to Come. The constant reference and emphasis in the personal pronoun unequivocally shows that The One about Whom He is talking is not some vaporous or disembodied entity, but Someone -- just as Jesus had to be --- Who would be present in a physical body on earth, BUT at a future time. The simple statement in John 16:13: “He Himself will honour Me”, tells it all very, very clearly.

Here, however, is the paradox: The two-thousand-year time-frame since the time of Christ has permitted us the luxury of greater understanding and awareness of a far wider world than the people in His time could ever have known. Because of the greater level of overall knowledge now taught as a matter of course through scientific disciplines, Institutions of “higher” learning and in the general education systems today, the presupposition should therefore be that we are now also sufficiently spiritually equipped to recognise this complete whole when it was to arrive. And thus, similarly recognise The Bringer of it. The Spirit of Truth; The Holy Spirit; The One Who Comes!

Since it is our present time that is spoken of, the spiritual faculty within each one of us should, therefore, at least intuitively, have perceived that such an event was imminent -- and perhaps had already occurred. Yet almost the whole of the Prophetic utterings of Jesus and the Prophets within the pages of the Bible clearly show that the majority of mankind would miss the moment; would not be awake at the time. The great tragedy: Mankind, as a collective entity, did miss it, because they were not awake!

Let’s run a little exercise with the wonderful “hindsight word”, IF. So, if we do not recognise in time, if we miss that moment, if we simply refuse to accept -- even if it should somehow pass before us -- what happens then? If we stubbornly cling to what we presently believe out of fear of letting go, what will that mean for the one who has missed it, or for the one who is asleep? In turn, what will it mean for global humanity, if the majority of the world’s people -– including, therefore, most Christians -- are blind to the happening?

Then, as we intimate, if there has not been sufficient recognition and spiritual growth and change in humankind; as stated in Matthew, respectively, 24:30, Fenton, and the same Scripture in the New Jerusalem Bible:

Matthew’s Chapter 24 offers key pointers to this question of whether Jesus was or is to return. For example, from verses 3-5:

Here Jesus surely indicates that many would pretend to be Him and that the Disciples would need to exercise the greatest possible degree of alertness and spiritual discernment when the time for the entry of The Son of Man onto the earth arrived. That logically means that The Son of Man, The Eternal Mediator, would be here when many false prophets would claim to be Jesus.

Historically, messianic claims are nothing new. It would be fair to say, however, that the 20th century probably saw the public emergence of perhaps more false messiahs than ever previously recorded. And, of course, many are alive and well in the 21st century too. Yet He did arrive ---- and in the 20th century.

The following Verses not only add more Biblical weight to our premise, but they further illustrate the fact that Jesus does not refer to Himself in the ‘first person’ but clearly infers that there really is Another.

In those particular Scriptures as in many others, we would at least expect Jesus to say, “I will collect all Nations before Me.” -- if He Himself was to fulfil that role at the End-time. Yet that is not what He says, even though instructing and enlightening His Disciples as to what to expect then! Further Scriptural quotes clarify our premise. From John 14:26 and Luke 18:8. (All emphases mine.):

Further examples from The Jerusalem Bible provide more anchorage for our premise. From John 16:10 and 16:28:

Despite the fact that we can find passages where Jesus apparently indicates He will return, it is The Son of Man Who is to Come as The Eternal Mediator -- as Jesus clearly states. For too many other statements by Him show clear reference to the Other Whom He is to send. If it was unequivocally and absolutely certain that Jesus was The One Who Comes, then we would surely expect that all statements, references, Scriptures, inferences etc., would carry the “I” and not the “He” so clearly evident in so many places.

In addition: If it was so absolute, as Christian thinking today states so emphatically, then surely the men who were closest to Him -- even though not fully understanding all that He gave them -- would have written so in every case. However, that is not what we read, for that is not what they wrote. For that is not what He told them in this case! Why are we so emphatic about this exact aspect? Quite simple: A very telling point has been missed here. It is this:

In concert, we know there exists in Christendom the very prevalent belief that “the Bible” in its entirety is The Word of God given through ‘inspiration without deviation’. We also know that the Bible records Jesus as telling His Disciples they were not ready to receive all the knowledge He carried within, because they would not understand it. Should that not sound a note of warning to Christianity? We certainly think so. Why? For a very long time now global Christendom has conditioned itself to faithfully believe that the Bible provides an absolute and thus non-negotiable tenet: One Son of God, Jesus, Who is to return as “The Eternal Mediator”.

Yet that especial Work does not at all agree with what has now become a sacrosanct Church ordination. So where lies the ‘without-deviation-inspirational- aspect’ which must, by Christian definition at least, never be questioned?

An interesting yet problematic quandary for Christendom therefore rears its unwelcome head here, for the very Scriptures we quote and the obvious analyses and conclusions arising from them reveal a tenet that simply “does not stack up”. So which parts of the relevant Scriptures, messages, writings, admonitions etc., should we accept -- or ignore -- in order “to make it fit”?

If Jesus really was to return as The Eternal Mediator, why did the Disciples not change their texts to read accordingly and thus use the I, solely, in their collective Gospels and writings? Moreover, why did all later translators and interpreters also not change that wording? Surely, in terms of human language, this is nothing more than very simple and basic grammatical expediency -- for all languages must clearly differentiate between “I” and “HE”. If that were not the case normal everyday conversation would be severely hampered, if not impossible.

Perhaps, on this most crucial issue, it really is a case of Divine Will ensuring that despite so much non-understanding throughout history, the Bible actually does “tell it like it is” with regard to The HE Who is The One to set foot on earth at the Divinely-ordained hour. Global Christendom should take serious note --- again --- of the absolute truism proffered by the Danish philosopher, Kierkegaard:

‘It is not the Truth that lies with the masses, but the untruth. The crowd is the ‘untruth’.’

As a further exploratory foray into Bible “stuff”, the validity or otherwise of the Four Gospels has been the subject of much scrutiny and debate by Bible scholars and theologians for centuries now. It is clear that the original writings, or perhaps more specifically the original words given to the Disciples by Jesus, underwent much change and editing through many translations, but also through the personal or religious bias of various scribes and translators. We know, therefore, that the Bible today is a heavily re-worked publication set in a more- or-less final form that powerful, and at times tyrannical, Church leaders, operating under the guise of spiritually-enlightened and infallible scholars, determined it should take. More recent researchers have seized upon this fact to call into question the actual validity of the Four Gospels of the Evangelists.

The co-authors of “The Holy Blood And The Holy Grail” make much of this to lend credence to their particular and very silly premise. It is surely impractical and illogical, however, to believe that the Disciples of Jesus would report everything that transpired during their association with Him in exactly the same way. They were chosen not because of their sameness but because of their differences. They would therefore likely report events in the short yet hugely eventful Ministry of Jesus in historically volatile times differently from each other. Certain events would no doubt obviously impact more decisively on some than on others.

So, the very fact that they apparently did report things slightly differently, with one or two clearly important events omitted from some Gospels, should not detract from the main and critical message ultimately contained within the four Gospels. Rather, it should be seen as a convincing insight into a much broader sweep of their overall connection and association with Jesus. Thus, what they were tasked to pass on to the world.

Therefore, despite the obvious fact that the Evangelists were very different individuals from diverse educational and working backgrounds, the Books of the Four are remarkably consistent with regard to what we are postulating here. They no doubt made mistakes and perhaps did not report exactly all that transpired. And they clearly did not understand all that Jesus told them according to their record of His statements. However, one could assume that if there were huge and irreconcilable differences and not simply minor ones in terms of what they were told by Jesus -- or believed they were told, or grossly misinterpreted what they were told or heard -- then we would surely see evidence of that in their individual writings.

That is clearly not the case, however. In fact, the consistency with which references to The Other --- obviously from Jesus Himself; for where else could they have possibly gotten it from --- faithfully reproduced in the four Gospels by the four Evangelists clearly indicates, in our view, a singularly important aspect of what Jesus was trying to impart. And the four, in essence, recorded exactly that.

A strong example of what we contend can be found in Mark, (Fenton) Chapter 8, Verse 38:

In this example, Jesus does not say; “...when I come... in the majesty of My Father.” as He surely would have if He was to fulfil that future role. Such statements reveal that Jesus knew He would not return to the earth as the “Eternal Mediator”, and that He knew Who would, so therefore prepared the Disciples, and thus mankind through their writings, to expect such an event.

A singularly important aspect of “His” Coming would require it to be strongly linked to the appointed time and thus to any indicative signs that might precede this event. As previously stated, the key requirement must surely be the CRUCIAL RECOGNITION that such an event was imminent. Or perhaps had already taken place, and thereby been completely missed by most.

Despite the sureness that the global Christian Church in its many guises confidently exudes about the “non-negotiable return of Jesus”, the facts we have outlined most especially in this very Discourse showed that that scenario ultimately turned out to be not the case! The actual reality for the greater majority of humankind is very clearly spelt out in the Scriptural warnings from Jesus -- He Who would send The Other Who Is to Come. As a further problem for such believers, any entry of The Eternal Mediator onto the earth surely poses huge and fundamental problems for every Christian group that accepts the validity of the return of “someone”. For in the first place:

“Who will He come to?”

Of course, that would once have been the 64 billion dollar “doozy” question! Because that very question resonates with such powerful significance and has ramifications that will impact in the worst possible way for the “big three” particularly, and even though we have already made an absolute determination in previous Discourses, let’s look at it again.

Since only cool, clear objectivity offers the key to a logical interpretation of prophetic Scripture, not emotive Christian religiosity, we should well understand the obvious fact that the All-ruler -- the Alpha and the Omega, The Eternal Mediator -- must and will stand far above such earthly ideas as diverse religious denominations. He therefore will not, and, indeed, did not, ally Himself to any one group or Church. To put it bluntly, such a notion is just plain silly!

So, from the Disciples of Jesus, from those who lived with Him, who heard His Words and bequeathed their experiences to posterity, we offer a few more of His admonitions. Warnings to be fully awake and alert, to not get so bogged down in everyday worldly matters or pleasures that the spirit inside each of us falls asleep and misses the moment forever. Should this event not be recognised --- as has happened anyway --- that non-recognition will not stop the ‘tribulatory’ effects that are irrevocably associated with it.

As we have proclaimed often enough, the arrival of The Son of Man as The Eternal Mediator heralds the beginning of the complete collapse of all distorted religious beliefs of the peoples of Earth, along with all wrong science.

And in the parable of the ten thoughtless bridesmaids who were shut out of the wedding, Jesus admonishes and warns humankind to be alert and awake to this return.

Paul’s contribution to this reality is well stated in 1st Thessalonians 5:1-2.

Luke, 21:34-36 Fenton, gives a particularly strong warning about the crucial need to not miss the time or the moment. (Emphasis mine):

Surely, here follows the greatest warning yet to the corporate world and its financiers, exchange-rate manipulators, share-market ‘sharks’ and all of similar ilk who elevate the god-corporate and the god-financial before all else.

It is vitally important to understand why Jesus so strongly warned His Disciples to yet prepare for the entry of The Son of Man at the end of the times. Since He did not mean in His lifetime or even shortly thereafter –- because we have had 2000 years of history since -- how, then, could the Disciples watch and wait for such an event if they all followed the natural path of life into earthly death as they obviously all did around that time?

The answer lies in the overarching knowledge inherent within “The Divine Laws of Creation” fully explained in later Discourses. In this case, it involves, namely, The Law of Rebirth. In that Creation-Law lies the answer; immutability in concert with the spiritually lawful processes and inviolable outworking for all human beings that is the sure aftermath of the First Death, and the subsequent paths that must be taken thereafter -- to either life eternal; or to the Second Death.

The warning to the Disciples to ‘watch and wait’ meant that they should be alert and awake to the signs which would herald the arrival of ‘The Other’ far in the future. The clear admonition of Jesus to them of His words, “I have forewarned you...”, was to prepare them for a future End-time of great confusion. For at least some of them would need to be on Earth again to stand in the presence of ‘The Other’.

However, it was not just His Disciples to whom Jesus addressed the warning. It was to all of humanity then and now; for this time -- today! For this is the era of The Son of Man and thus The Judgement for all! A primary statement given by Jesus to His Disciples about the end-times indicates this clearly.

Thus, the generation of that time, especially those responsible for His murder, would all have to be back on earth to stand before the Living Truth of The Son of Man in the “last days”. Either to pass into life -- if there had been sufficient “good works” for expiation of the deed since; -- or to pass from life in the “Second Death”, if there had not. All generations before and since would similarly be required to face their own individual wrongs, whilst in the same period also experiencing the destruction of all the wrong that humankind had collectively produced -- for it to also “pass from life”.

One more warning -- and one that surely applies to Western societies today!

Continuing on from that very necessary explanation, let’s learn more about this singularly momentous issue. For if the full import of it is truly recognised and really understood, that recognition and understanding could then open a door that would greatly assist many to pass into life.

In this part of our revelation, it is essential to again stress the fact that the Bible regularly notes two different references to two particular “Names” and two respective “Titles” in various places within its pages. The general assumption has always been that both contrasting titles referred to the same One -- Jesus! Yet, firstly, we have the two different “Titles” designated as The Son of God and The Son of Man! Secondly, we have the two different “Names” given their specific designation -- Jesus and Imanuel! The Christian Churches, however, generally teach that “They” are One and the same.

Whilst we will examine the Conception and Birth of Jesus in greater detail in the following Discourse, the whole “unacceptable-to-the-big-three” concept of Two Sons of God behoves us to note the main points once more here.

The Gospel of Luke, 1:31-32 and 35, gives a good narration where the message of the archangel Gabriel to Mary is very clear. [Is this not the same Gabriel who delivered messages to Muhammad at the direction of The Almighty, and here announcing the Coming of Jesus, the Son of God, at the same “direction”?]

Matthew’s unfortunate mistake has bequeathed a legacy which has misled many successive generations to the present day. For in his Chapter 1 he writes that prior to the birth of Jesus, Joseph, knowing he was not the father, was nevertheless directed by a messenger of the Lord to accept Mary as his wife. In Verse 21 Matthew states:

Then Matthew, perhaps out of his own beliefs and/or lack of sufficiently clear spiritual understanding, later writes:

Joseph, however, did not name the child Imanuel but, in accordance with the instructions of the “messenger of the Lord”, named Him Jesus.

Therefore, what should be understood here is the very crucial fact that whereas the messenger of The Lord clearly proclaimed Jesus as The Son of God; Isaiah [7:14] was the prophet who prophesied, and thus proclaimed, Imanuel as The Son of Man: The Eternal Mediator!

Matthew has very wrongly attempted to make two into one, for the references relating to this truly ‘dogma-shattering’ revelation in Chapter 1 of his Gospel are simply illogical. In quoting Isaiah he clearly does not recognise his own mistake, and neither have many since. He has therefore unfortunately bequeathed a huge error to posterity because his translation of Isaiah’s prophecy centred on this crucial event makes no sense. Matthew has wrought a monumental error that has led literally billions astray. We, however, in concert with this Work’s Ordained Mandate, have now put it right.
