THE TERRIBLE MOCKERY OF “EASTER CELEBRATIONS”

So: On every anniversary of His hideous execution, apart from “Shopping Guides” what else might we see advertised as a primary enticement over the `Easter holiday period' the Christian West celebrates? Yes, there are the Church services; and there are re-enactments of His Crucifixion which, in no way whatsoever, could possibly ever give any degree of understanding of the pain and horror that The Son of God had to endure at the hands of blind, religious fools. It is a perverse mockery to re-enact His torturous suffering.

The key thing that probably most Western Christian children look forward to at Easter are chocolate eggs laid --- in the strangest, impossible concept --- by a rabbit; the wealth-producing “Easter Bunny”. Is that surely not the most perverse distortion of a crucial date that all Christians should understand in its yet-to-be spiritual outworking of menacing and growing portent?

Of course, it's all just fun for the children, isn't it? That is what Western society has determined as being suitable for Easter. And supposedly well-meaning and devout Christian parents of numerous denominations dote on their Christian offspring and, from supermarket shelves laden with endless selections of different sized “easter eggs”, buy whatever “their little hearts might desire”. The disgusting hypocrisy that now characterises Easter is little more than a convenient holiday with an associated shopping spree.

Well, reader; the end-cleansing --- already upon us and increasing in scope and scale --- will sweep that and every other kind of appalling distortion aside and away for all time; along with all those who cling to aberrant ideas which distort the Pure Truth of God.

For the shape of the Latin Cross, the so-called “Christian Cross of Salvation”, actually takes the form of a “sword”. For all who wear, revere or display it as a `belief-token' or symbol declaring that by His death on the Cross, The Son of God took away the sins of men; the terrible and appalling Christian distortion of the execution of Christ means that the Crucifix “takes the form” of a Sword of Judgement!

If you Christians, particularly, do not believe thus, yet still say you follow the Teachings of Jesus --- Who was nonetheless perversely murdered for being What He Was and Is --- The Son of God --- then how do you two thousand million global Christians reconcile His warning to the world?

Since an exponential factor can be readily observed in all global events now, let us restate the answer of Jesus to His disciples when asked what the end-time would be like. His reply is chilling:

Long-centuries before Jesus came to earth to warn humankind to obey The Law if they wished to live and return home; Isaiah, “the great Prophet and Servant”, had long done so. Remember Him? Of course you do. He featured in his own specific Discourse earlier on where he proclaimed the Coming of Imanuel. Let’s hear from the Great Prophet again; from his dire prophecy about us! From Isaiah 24:5-6. (Emphases mine.)

Now you, “Bible scholar”, and you, Christian reader --- all of you who live tremulously in piety in the belief that Jesus, The Son of God, sent down to earth by The Creator of all that is good to bring The Living Word to a base and evil humanity --- now that you better understand the true horror and suffering of Him Whom you profess to worship and follow; where in His admonition or that of the great Prophet, Isaiah, do you find the sure salvation of two billion Christians? It is arrant nonsense; a dangerous and monumentally-arrogant delusion.

Do you honestly believe that The Son of God willingly went to an horrific death to save you from your personal sins? Do you really believe that the Perfect Justice of God is displayed there; that an innocent man should be put to death for the wrongdoing and evil of others?

Such an injustice is not even accepted in earthly courts of law. If it were, imagine the outcry --- from all of you especially. So why and how can human beings who proudly call themselves Christians followers of, and believers in, Christ accept a notion that such a thing would be acceptable to The Creator Himself --- He Who is Perfect Love, but also Perfect Justice?

If you truly believe that such an aberrant tenet would be acceptable to The Almighty, then you must also logically accept the notion that the group of Roman soldiers who actually carried out His Crucifixion were blessed for all time and would enter Paradise upon their death. And what about Judas: Why has sainthood not been conferred upon him long before now? Surely, he, too, must be included among the especially blessed -– even before that particular group of Roman soldiers --- for is he not the key player in this ridiculous and infantile Christian scenario?

If the death of Jesus was a necessary sacrifice blessed by God --- as you have so nauseatingly affirmed for centuries --- then that is the only logical conclusion for you to draw. For if you do not believe that either Judas or the soldiers were so blessed in that way, then your whole absurd Christian ethos centred round “His necessary sacrifice” fails utterly.

Notwithstanding the pure truth of that statement, if you yet still seriously believe such a thing, then do not hide behind 2,000 years of earth-time to shield you from that most insidiously-evil event. Instead, have the inner courage to put yourselves in the place of the small group of executioners at His Crucifixion and actively take part in the brutal murder of The One Whom you profess to believe in. Be part of that Roman squad on that terrible day that you nauseously commemorate so wrongly: --- BLACK FRIDAY!

Help to lay the flayed and bleeding body of The Son of God on that rough and splintered “Cross of Death”. Feel His blood splashing on your skin --- for there are no niceties such as rubber gloves to protect your delicate hands. Next, take up the hammer and spikes and drive them through His flesh. Ensure, however, that you do it correctly so that the weight of His body will not tear His once-healing hands away from the spike when that dark, death-cross is raised. But as you drive home those spikes, look into His dying, pain-wracked eyes and say to Him:

How foolish and absurd a belief: And how utterly arrogant!

Such a belief is tantamount to idolatry of the worst kind, but self-idolatry --- of human beings --- and not of reverence and worship of The Most High or of He Who was and is a Part out of God. Jesus, The Son of God; designated as both The Word of God and The Love of God; that is who you symbolically murder each time you tremulously ”thank Him for dying for your sins”.

When the horrific realisation finally sinks in that such beliefs are so illogical and wrong that they actually border on a kind of religious insanity, it will be among you Christians, primarily, that a very large measure of the “great wailing and gnashing of teeth’ will occur. What will you say then?

Of course, His life and times produced more horrendous distortions amongst the monotheistic “big three” than just what we note in the Crucifixion. For, from the relatively small amount of illuminating knowledge from The Hand of Imanuel that you, reader, have been gifted thus far, we can safely say that very little about religious/church interpretation regarding Jesus is anywhere near close to the real Truth. In a tragic sham of distortion after distortion, it is all nothing more than convenient interpretation to suit earthly religious ritual and dogma, as is the case with our next Section.

RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION.

The Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus must surely rank as one of the most religiously contentious issues ever. Science, by virtue of its empiricist base, would quite rightly reject notions of the physical resurrection of a very dead body. Science would probably also reject the whole idea of Ascension, physical or otherwise. In bygone days, any opposition to the once all-powerful Church position that Jesus was resurrected physically, would certainly have bought an immediate death sentence and execution.

Yet the very Scripture we use as the introduction to this particular Discourse clearly states that precise rules hold unequivocal sway for all, including The Son of God Himself Whose words we accept they are.

In the last segment, Christianity featured strongly. Now: What do Islam and Judaism say about these two “contentious concepts”? Firstly, we will deal with the notion of Resurrection.

THE JEWISH PERSPECTIVE

Well, reader, an interesting take on our subject of the moment. Now whilst we explain the process of death and its aftermath in later Discourses, in this Section we delve more deeply and logically into the events surrounding the Resurrection of Jesus; the deeper knowledge of which is derived from The All-Truth of The Son of Man. For the moment, however, we should briefly comment on Sigal’s opinions.

(*) Peter’s comment: “of which we are all witnesses”, is clear enough. Obviously, it refers to the fact that they were witnesses to being in the presence of Jesus at various times, post-resurrection --- that’s all. As Sigal correctly states --- “No one saw Jesus rise from the dead.” In his Scripture Peter makes no claim to that effect.

(**) The “final disposition” of the body of Jesus is actually known --- but only to “the few”. Its whereabouts is detailed in the overarching knowledge that The Spirit of Truth’s entry onto the earth facilitated.

(Reader: in this Discourse we will apprise you of where that exalted “form” lies in its protected “sealed vault” under Jerusalem --- unless it has already been discovered. If that is the case, the relevant authorities will never ever make that known to the world. They could not do so, for it would be the absolute Divine indictment upon them.)

(***) No body present; and belief in a “physical” resurrection! Classic! No real knowledge: Now in the 21^st century, and after more than two millennia, just supposition, theory and personal opinions --- nothing more than that. Mr Sigal, seek out the knowledge of The Divine Laws of Creation now on earth and you will have your answer. Or simply accept what you will shortly read.

(****) The Disciples’ goal was “to prove that Jesus rose from the dead”. Why would they do that? The world changed after the death of Jesus. Such was His impact that a completely new calendric time-frame became the new reality. The same old hoary argument rears its silly head once more; a physical body resurrects itself, walks around with living humans for weeks, and then ascends into a non-physical Realm so far removed from the Material World that it is simply beyond our comprehension.

It is the “Life-force entity” that rises, not the physical shell that it must occupy whilst on earth. That is shed, and simply left behind. That’s it. No histrionics, just plain old logic as The Laws of Creation decree! We’ve all seen these “shells” often enough at funerals, for we all have one “to run around in”.

That is one Jewish man’s opinion of the Resurrection of Jesus; not anywhere near an academic analysis but valuable, nonetheless, precisely because it isn’t academic. Now let’s look at what might be called a more “official” Jewish version of things from more the academic side.

(*) Same old, same old! No need to comment on that Jewish view of resurrection except to say that on this subject only confusion and non-understanding reigns in Judaism, as it does in all of monotheism. Despite that sad state of Jewish affairs, let’s have more from the “chosen” race!

(*) ”... bound to be some confusion”, “...sometimes of a contradictory nature”. That says it all. Historically, confusion and contradiction have always been part of the human journey, particularly in the religious search for “answers”. Indeed, over millennia, we seem to have “hard-wired” our very human condition to the point where confusion and contradiction are now the norm --- as clearly evidenced by the state of our global societies and religions.

(**) Yes: We do survive death in the “First Death” process, but not in the “Second Death”. The “spiritual condition” of our soul plays a critical part in death’s aftermath for the individual. But, reader, we will apprise you of the detail of both “processes” in the two Discourses on Death that will feature later in the Work. Then you won’t be like all the learned gentlemen of theology who are clearly very confused.

(*) Correct, precisely according to The Divine Laws of Creation!

(**) After however many years, perhaps into millennia, a skeleton with all its clothing rotted and long gone, suddenly crawls out of its grave and is magically reconstructed into a blood-pulsing, clear-eyed, walking, talking “what”? Not worth commenting on; so stupid, illogical, inane, totally mad, and thought out by supposedly intelligent humans. Religion is surely the curse of humanity, and most are too blind to see that really clear reality! Anyway, what about the dead who never knew of this “truly wondrous outcome”? We will look at more foolish ideas on this subject later.

(***) Here we have “...a novel theory” that “...the resurrected dead will not live forever but will eventually die again”. Novel: Who lives forever, physically? Not an option!

(****) That is obviously and absolutely correct. A [physical] body cannot “inhabit eternity”.

(*****) Wrong! --- The soul is not immortal. Think of the “spirit”, not the soul. They are not one and the same, for the soul envelops the spirit --- just as the physical body envelops the soul. We are much more than just body and soul. (But more on that later).

(*) The word, “ethereal” is the key to understanding which body Jesus inhabited after exiting his “physical” form, and in which He was seen by the Disciples, and through which He walked and talked.

(**) Now we have different bodies thrown into the mix. We supposedly resurrect into who we originally were, but wait, no; it’s now a different body. Do these people actually believe their “theories”?

(***) Neither a miracle nor a mystery; the key word is “neither”! Being completely subject to Creation-Law, the whole concept and process is Perfect and thus completely natural.

(****) Who, exactly, will “consider the matter again” when they “come to life again”? Presumably, the Talmud will be conveniently on hand when “they” crawl out of the ground to “strike-up” conversations with whomever is watching and waiting over their graves --- if they are still known. What can really be said about these kinds of beliefs?

They are so illogically implausible --- we are being generous here, reader --- as to border on the insane! There are no words that would make any kind of sense --- so we will leave it there, in the realm of the stupidly-impossible.

(Reader, we will give you clear and very logical knowledge about this process later in the Work. In addition, we will describe to you the many different scenarios of death whereby such a process is simply impossible --- and there are many of them. I think that you, too, will shake your head in disbelief.)

(*) Self-explanatory: Correct!

(**) Explanations are in The All-Truth of Imanuel, for He has “pierced the veil” for us!

(***) Close! The resurrection is of the “ethereal body” --- which envelops the soul body.

(****) Previously commented on.

We are certainly glad that that little exercise is over! Having to work with and refute so much nonsense is actually “spiritually debilitating”, but it is what we are “Directed” to write about --- so we continue. Now it’s time to learn what Islam has to say about “resurrection”.

Before we leave M.M. Ali; he, in the INTRODUCTION to his translation of the Koran, gives a brief insight to our subject matter of the moment. From Section 5, LIFE AFTER DEATH --- The Resurrection or the Hour:

(*) Let’s briefly comment on Ali’s belief that the after-death reality automatically ensures “a starting-point for a new and higher life”. A “new and higher life” when the “limitations of the body of clay are removed” is totally dependent on a human being having lived a life that conforms at least in some measure to The Divine Laws of Creation. It is not guaranteed by belief in this or that religion. In fact, some religious dogma is so far removed from real knowledge that such ”teachings” would absolutely ensure that adherents of those will never ever find that desired “new and higher life” after death; in fact, quite the opposite. Countless millions of human souls remain “earthbound”, simply because they lived by false and distorted ‘teachings’ that contained little real Truth; the very thing which would have helped them to ascend. That, M.M. Ali, is the real LAW!

Let’s now look at another Islamic view of Resurrection according to the authors of the website: Al-Islam.org

(*) How does that fit with the many so-called martyrs who are already supposed to be in Paradise? Are they not also those who “died in the past”? A serious “disconnect” exists here, Islam --- you cannot have it both ways.

The whole jumbled mish-mash of seriously-flawed non-understanding and just plain ignorance centred on the subject of Resurrection and, in the case of Jesus, its necessary companion, Ascension, exists solely because the “religious dogma” that characterises it does not possess the clarifying foundation of The Divine Laws of Creation. One great Law in particular must be taken into account if the notion of “resurrection” is to be properly understood. That essential knowledge is --- once again:

The Law of Rebirth!

Yes, one more crucial aspect of DIVINE TRUTH that has been rejected for centuries by the greater majority of monotheists. Yet that is the way it is, and it cannot be changed by religious ignorance! (But, reader, continue on to the series of Discourses on The Divine Laws where we will illuminate them all for you; and read the Word of Imanuel as He offers Divine Power to the explanations --- including the inviolable reality of The Law of Rebirth!)

SO: Physical Resurrection and Ascension: We have now heard from various “scholars of religion”. Despite their confusion in that there is no “collective” and definitive knowledge-foundation by which they can all agree --- that’s their singular problem --- what should ordinary, everyday, down-to-earth reason and objective logic tell us about it? For are we not enjoined by the Living Law Itself to employ what all humans are gifted with, the attribute to think and weigh with intelligence, logic and reason? If forcibly locked into either an earthly empirical or a fundamentalist/religious framework; under those parameters the issue under discussion here might appear to be satisfactorily validated for some --- or perhaps even for many.

In the final analysis, however, an event such as a physical resurrection and ascension, which radically departs from “natural” processes, cannot possibly be held up as being logical in any way whatsoever. Correct clarification, therefore, must inherently rely on the truth and outworking of the very Laws that Jesus Himself stated could not be overthrown, and which He, according to the lawful parameters thus contained within them, also had to submit to at His death.

Because our Mandate derives from the Perfection of The Divine Laws, we can thus seriously question and challenge the strong, entrenched belief within probably most Christian communities that a physical resurrection and ascension is somehow valid. To this end a key question needs to be asked with regard to the “resurrection” of Jesus. Can a man, any man, in a flesh and blood physical body, weighing somewhere around 70 to 80 kilograms and very surely pronounced dead, realistically rise from that dead state to then live some kind of physical reality, eternally?

Whilst we certainly accept that Jesus was able to call the dead to life, it was done so under the strictest aegis of the Living Law, of Which He Himself Was and Is a Living Part. (The full explanation of the processes surrounding earthly death can be read in a later Discourse, along with how Jesus --- through employing Divine Power --- brought “the dead to life”.]

If we therefore employ the knowledge of The Divine Laws of Creation to apply the processes of death to the fate of Jesus, we are left with His irrefutable statement --- that we must often reiterate --- that He had not come “to overthrow the Law, but to fulfil it”. Not just to fulfil it to a somehow convenient earthly-belief level, but to fulfil it completely. That being the case He, also, was absolutely subject to the natural and therefore lawful processes of the normal exit of His personal inner animating core from the mortal cloak He was obliged to take upon being born of a woman on earth.

If we now track to the end of Jesus’ life, the extremely tenuous rationale offered to ostensibly support a “physical resurrection” has always been that He had to have risen in a physical body simply because His own was not in the tomb in which He was placed. Such a one-dimensional view is almost medieval and superstitious in its supposed “reasoning”. Quite clearly, Jesus had no choice but to vacate His broken, bleeding and dying body on that horrendous “cross of death” when His time of exit thereupon arrived. Jesus quite clearly died a physical death, as all who are born onto the earth one day must.

The Perfection of Creation-Law simply does not allow for anything other than complete naturalness in all things. Those Perfect Laws thus represent the ultimate level of pure naturalness. A death-process for Jesus different from the norm is simply out of the question, for aberrant and silly scenarios are impossible.

Therefore, whereas the inner animating core of human beings is that of Spirit, corresponding to the point or Realm of our origin, the inner core of Power that actually was Jesus was, and is, Divine; thus precisely corresponding to His Origins from out of The Godhead.

We know that after His death Jesus was taken down from the cross and placed in a tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea. What do we read post-crucifixion, however? Even those who were closest to Him did not recognise Him when He appeared before them. Mary Magdalene did not recognise Him immediately. Even two of His Disciples on their way to Emmaus did not recognise Him even though He walked and spoke with them for hours. How could it be possible that after a short interval of just days, those closest to Him did not recognise Him immediately? What does that clearly infer?

It unequivocally infers that had He been in His original
“physical” body, recognition would have been immediate.

Therefore, and in concert with the lawful outworking of the earthly death process, it is obvious that Jesus was in another, and different, body. That is what they saw, and thus why they did not immediately recognise the Jesus they had previously known.

The theological idea that it was some kind of “transmuted” physical body they saw does not hold water, for The Laws of Creation do not permit the “transmutation” of a physical body for anyone; not even in a “one-off” situation for The Son of God. The Eternal Laws of God are quite clear on this. The exit of our ”inner being” from the “physical-body part” means that that part is then irrevocably subject to the normal and natural “processes of nature”.

The “substitution-premise” that some writers and theologians --- and certainly Islam --- hold dear, may seem to answer the question of, “which body was it”? For them, the answer to most of the issues surrounding the Crucifixion and Resurrection seem only to make sense if there was a substitute for Jesus on the cross. Some researchers point to Simon of Cyrenaica as that substitute. Anecdotal commentary from everyday Muslim belief suggests that Judas was the substitute. Jesus was even supposed to have watched His own “death-walk” hidden from sight. Or that He survived the actual crucifixion, and then later left the Holy Land with His “wife” to live elsewhere on the planet.

Creation-Law tells us that a less dense envelope or body is able to penetrate denser objects. The sudden appearance of Jesus inside locked rooms in which the disciples regularly gathered thus testifies to the fact that He could not have been in a physical body. It is not lawfully possible to “rarefy” a physical body. Physical bodies cannot penetrate material doors or walls. Not His physical body, therefore, but one that we all possess too.

Thus: A non-physical Ethereal body of the consistency of that Realm through which we journeyed to incarnate on earth, and through which we must also journey to return “home” --- unless, through our own aspiritual deeds, we remain trapped “in the world”. Bodies, therefore, that in their very large numbers trapped here, can and do exist on the earth --- and sometimes be seen.

This “other-body” thus answers the question of how Thomas could feel the wounds of Jesus. It is simply a matter of the same kind of body within Thomas i.e., of the same consistency, bearing witness to the world of this lawful event. Thomas was invited to “touch” and “feel” purely because he was “Thomas the doubter”. Interestingly, Thomas’s fulfilment of his amazing mission to India after that must surely be seen to be one of seriously transformed conviction from a previously doubting nature.

An obvious question begs an answer here. What really did happen to the physical body of Jesus? We know that guards were posted outside the tomb to prevent the theft of it. Therefore, the story goes, it could not possibly have been stolen. For thieves would have been seen. So, the only possibility left is that we all meekly submit to the belief that Jesus did rise from the dead in His physical body. And that apparently seems to satisfy the majority of Christians in their various churches.

Of course, the other logical possibility must not ever be entertained lest the whole carefully nurtured structure totters and comes crashing down. For the reality is that soldiers on sentry duty do fall asleep. Or they can be bribed to turn a blind eye. Or perhaps the sentries, in strict concert with The Will of The Almighty, were rendered unconscious for a time: To thereby graciously permit a few especially chosen ones to quietly remove the body so that it might be placed where it would never ever fall into unbelieving hands.

Thankfully a small but steadily growing body of religious scholars now subscribe to the “probability” that the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus was a “spiritual” event, not a physical one. Deriving their ideas from historical narrative and ancient texts quite recently discovered but ignored by mainstream Christian Churches, this newly-emerging and correct view is exactly that which we state in previous paragraphs -- that Jesus was moved from His temporary burial chamber and placed in a secret, permanent vault.

For if that particular scenario is regarded as impossible, as blasphemy or heresy even; then we have a major and insurmountable problem with the fact that Jesus had to subsequently return to “The Father”. To thus levitate and ascend in that same supposedly physical body to a Realm that is obviously non-physical. And, moreover, to a level far beyond the incomprehensible reaches of the farthest universes even. Such an idea simply beggars description, for it is implausible in the extreme. In fact, it is patently impossible! That idea is so puerile as to be just plain dumb!

As He stated to His disciples, He would one day leave the earth and become, again, “One with The Father”. In the light of His sure statement, the question that must be put to the whole issue of the Ascension is:

“What is the natural reality of God?”

Human beings, of course, cannot ever answer that particular question. In absolute terms we cannot possibly know anything above our particular origins. By asking that question, however, we are not seeking an actual answer to it. We are simply, yet graphically, illustrating the fact that a huge and fundamental problem exists with any belief that Jesus ascended to become “One with The Father” ----- in His physical body.

Do we therefore also believe that The Almighty sits down to a meal? Or that He must subsequently use a toilet, as we must in the physical world? Of course not: It is an utterly ludicrous thought and, as a religious notion --- no matter how tenuous --- should never ever be contemplated.

However, that kind of physical reality must be accepted as inescapable for anyone who persists in the patently absurd notion that Jesus ascended in His physical body.

He said often enough; “My Kingdom is not of this world.” “I come into the world, and I leave the world.” What is so difficult to understand here? Even Pilate, the Roman Governor who passed the sentence of crucifixion upon Jesus, noted His reply that His Kingdom was not of the physical world that we presently occupy. It was of a non-material reality --- even above the Heavens designated as the spiritual home of human beings, yet still immeasurably far above even that!

If such a simple reality cannot yet be grasped and one still persists in the belief of a physical-body ascent, then the next question is: “At what point or level in the ascent did the necessary transition from a physical form to a non-physical one take place, in order for The Son of God to become One with God The Father?” And, “how much food did Jesus take for the return journey?”

Staunch Christians may regard such questions as a mockery or a defilement of an ostensibly sacred or holy belief. If so, then it is clearly a closed-spirit viewpoint. For the questions posed are extremely valid and must be honestly answered if any actively-promoted conceptual belief of a physical-body resurrection and ascension is to hold any credibility whatsoever. For one must follow the other in terms of any credible physical-mode answer.

This particular distortion may possibly derive, wholly or in part, from an incorrect interpretation about the fate of the dead at the end-time. This ostensibly states, that then: “All the dead shall be awakened.” We have just read all this from Jewish and Muslim beliefs and is certainly a major tenet of Christianity

As we intimated earlier, this sentence as it stands conjures up horror-filled images of all the dead emerging from their graves and being somehow fleshed out to physical specifications conforming to their original bodily appearance. And presumably to the same level of knowledge and belief they possessed when they died. How they could ever possibly understand the why of the very different world they will supposedly enter after emerging from their earthly graves, no one seems to have answered. And how can they?

What about Christians who have been cremated, and whose ashes -– at the deceased’s wish -– have been scattered in more than one location, or even at sea? Fish food. Surely problematic is the question of the hundreds of thousands of believers -– including Church martyrs -– burnt to ash by marauding armies over centuries. Problematic, also; the very many true believers burnt at the stake by the twisted “Dark Ages religious madness” of the very Church that should have protected them. Ash given to the earth becomes just dirt. That reality is The Law — CREATION-LAW! No chance of re-assembly there.

The whole idea in its continued belief to the present is nothing more than just latter-day religious madness stemming from Christian fundamentalism’s fear and ignorance. Fear of their interpretation of ‘Judgement-Day’, and ignorance of the true meaning of that particular Scripture. In this case, therefore, what has been so terribly distorted over centuries by such wrong thinking is not the meaning of the prophecy in the first place.

It is not even the correct wording. It is not that “all the dead” shall be awakened but that:

All that is dead shall be awakened!

The difference is clearly huge and fundamental and immediately conjures up a more correct picture, i.e., --- All that is spiritually dead shall be forced to awaken.

This does not at all refer to, or mean, those who have long since died. It means literally everything that has not adjusted itself to the correctness of The Divine Laws of Creation. Everything that has not voluntarily adjusted itself to The Law will be forcibly awakened to thereby reveal its true nature. Social structures, concepts, attitudes, religions, families, nations etc., will be affected according to the level of compliance or non-compliance of The Law previously undertaken prior to that crucial point.

At this present time we can observe this “awakening and revelatory process” in such diverse activities as are practised within the corporate world and in the churches. By extension, the previously hidden activities of leaders and senior persons within them will be subject more than they have thus far been in this relentless and unstoppable “spiritual-sifting” process.

Nothing will escape this now necessary and long-ordained spiritual cleansing. Not one thing, organisation or activity is, or will be, exempt. The perceptive reader should now readily understand the great gulf existing between dogma that incorrectly says “all the dead”, and that which The Truth in strict accordance with Creation-Law correctly states to be, “all that is dead”!

Then, yes then, through the experience dawns the realisation for most that they had wasted their lives on things that really did not matter; but would now cause major problems for them in their non-earthly body vis-à-vis, --- “Their works shall follow them”. In any case, the academic worlds’ seeming preoccupation with Jesus and his earthly physicality completely misses the point of the whole quite stupendous event --- His entry onto the earth as a very necessary act of “Truth-bringing”.

“Heed the Word, not the Bringer” should be the primary consideration. In the very first instance it is what He brought, His Teaching, the Truth inherent in His Divine Core, which should always have been the first and principal thing to be understood. It was precisely His Word, and not Him personally as a “man among men”, that was, and is, decisive for all on earth. That was then.

What we have today, however, is a virtual cult based on the “personality of Jesus”. Evangelical Christians promote the rather strange idea of the necessity for a “personal relationship” with a Power that human beings could not even begin to approach.

After His earthly death He warned Mary Magdalene not to touch Him. Having exited His physical body the Divine Power that was inherent in Him was no longer constrained by the recently-vacated, heavier material cloak. His Power therefore radiated much more strongly from Him then. Even as a “man among men”, that Power was still sufficient to effect healing from the radiations emanating from Him through just His “physical” covering.

(Reader: That especial point helps to answer the great question about the validity or otherwise of the Turin Shroud. In a later Discourse we examine that very subject and reach the only conclusion possible!)

Unfortunately for the Christian Church mainly, but for all of humanity ultimately, the true meaning and purpose of His coming from the Highest point in the non-material, Eternal part of Creation all the way down to the lowest point of the non-eternal, material Earth has not ever been understood correctly. And to teach that a physical body can somehow rise to the Highest part of the non-material, Eternal Divine Realm is surely the ultimate blasphemy --- aside from being just sheer, outright stupidity!

Thankfully today we have the written Word of The Other Son, IMANUEL. So, let’s read what He writes about the Resurrection of Jesus.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

IMANUEL:
THE SON OF MAN!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

There you have it! Brief but relevant excerpts from a much longer Lecture of far more knowledge. However, much of that deeper explanation does not yet “fit” with this point in our unveiling revelations. So, reader, through offering the relevant information at specific points in the Work, we strive to awaken your “Spirit” to want more of Imanuel’s ALL-Truth!

Mormons, however: Did you understand the clear admonition from Him in the form of the question?: ---

In the light of that and everything else in this Work --- for it has the Mandate of that Living Truth --- you should seriously revisit your very “faulty” doctrine!

Blasphemy: It is the word that Christians are often want to use against those whom they believe denigrate their ostensibly sacrosanct interpretations of Bible Scripture. I am sure we all accept that The Laws of God are sacrosanct. We would probably further accept that their outworking must be so too. Therefore, in concert with Jesus’s serious admonition that He had come to “fulfil The Law” –- the reciprocal outworking of which we have strongly noted –- what fate must await the Christian Church and its followers for continuing to promote a belief that is completely illogical, and thus absolutely wrong?

The very Law Itself will bring without fail the commensurate reciprocal consequences to all who would dare to denigrate “The Perfection of The Law”!

THE RESTING PLACE OF THE “EARTHLY BODY” OF JESUS

Though out of sequence in the thread of subjects we have looked at concerning the Life and Death of Jesus, the resolution of this great question resonates in Perfect concert with that Perfect Law! So, here, we both ask and answer this key question:

“What really did happen to the body of Jesus?”

Well, should humankind ever be permitted to find the actual location of His earthly cloak, the many who have written about Jesus and The Holy Grail and have propounded final resting places in locations as diverse as India, Pakistan and even the South of France -- and most assuredly all Christians who believe He ascended to His non-material Eternal Home in some kind of transfigured earthly body -- will then know that they were all very, very wrong.

So, what, exactly, will be revealed to the world should humankind ever be permitted the discovery of the especial earthly body of Jesus, and how will we know that it truly is He? More importantly in the context of such a claim, how and why can we so conclusively state such a radical and defining proclamation? The answer is simple.

The revelatory knowledge of the location of the body of Jesus is detailed in the complete All-Truth of Imanuel. That is why it is called the All-Truth! The series of Works that pertain to all past events are key bridges which can lead ‘seeking humankind’ to that very Source of knowledge.

As we have said many times thus far, the deeper explanations contained within this Work are derived from that Highest of Knowledge! It is not, nor could it ever be, designated as, in any case, low-level “human” knowledge.

Only with such a singular Mandate can we thus offer the keys which will provide the clearest revelation that --- prior to any such discovery --- it will be “proof positive” that that particular body is the earthly cloak of Jesus. For notwithstanding the recent, ostensible, “discoveries” of supposedly the ossuary of Jesus and His extended earthly family and examined by Israeli archaeologists, any sure conclusion that it might be Him must consider certain absolute facts about a body that is stated to be His.

To that end in revelatory clarification: The body that served The Son of God on earth rests in a sealed cavern under Jerusalem. At the entrance to the cave three crosses are engraved over the right-hand arch. The body inside will show evidence of crucifixion, but the bones in the legs are not broken. In the row of upper teeth in the skull, an eye-tooth is missing. And on the gravestone which covers His body is engraved a specific mark or sign: His Sign!

The missing eye-tooth or canine is obviously singularly significant. But why have we emphasised the fact that the legs on this especial body are not broken?

To repeat: The particular agony associated with crucifixion centres around the fact that being suspended from nailed palms or wrists means; that to ease compression of the lungs and possible asphyxiation, the naturally-sagging body must be held erect. However, as one can readily note when gymnasts perform the “crucifix position” on “the Rings”, only the strongest and fittest men in their prime can hold such a position for any length of time. Therefore, the very position of the arms affixed in that “crucifix position” in an actual crucifixion means that it is virtually impossible for crucified, invariably tortured, men to do so.

What they could and did use, however, was the leverage point that the nailed feet offer. It is the only means whereby the crucified one can relieve the crushing effect of a sagging body –- in effect to push up, to stand, in excruciating agony, on that driven-through spike. The burial Laws at the time meant that crucified Jews could not remain on the cross on the Sabbath so had to be taken down and buried before sunset. Breaking the legs of Jesus would have ensured a quicker end on that particular “Cross of Torture”.

The Book of John provides a clear account of that part of the process.

In that last capitalised sentence (by Fenton) lies the key to any so-called “discovery” of the body of Jesus, for it must show signs of crucifixion. At the very least, therefore, there will be damaged foot bones from the driven spikes -- but the legs will not be broken. If the “vault” of Jesus is ever discovered --- or even if it has --- it is unlikely that the Israeli Archaeological Authority would ever disclose such a find.

Now why would that be the case, reader? It’s really quite simple. Historically, the whole “industry of religion” centred on Jerusalem accepts Jesus only as a Prophet for Muslims and Jews, but as The Son of God for Christians. In order to maintain the monumental error of non-recognition and thus non-understanding of the Truth surrounding every facet of His Life and Death; Judaism especially, but also Islam, must maintain the particular “denial aspect” that characterises their individual “religious doctrines”. In the case of Christianity, the physical body of Jesus still “down here” would simply --- and very deservedly --- smash global Christendom apart. That beautiful and perfectly natural Truth, however, would set many millions free from over a thousand years of terrible and inexcusable distortion!

A CONCLUDING REALITY

The final consideration of this Key Discourse should feature something memorable about the “Divine Gift” to humanity of The Son of God. Therefore, let us quietly reflect upon a singularly poignant “poem” about the life of this Son, Jesus Who --- along with the Other Son, Imanuel --- are perhaps the greatest radicals to have ever set physical foot on the earth.

As we unequivocally state, however, Jesus will not do so again, for He is The One who returned to be with The Father. Yet Whose very Words, from out of Divinity Itself, many were “called” to disseminate amongst the world’s people.

Illustrated in the following poem is an unknown author’s salute and great love for Jesus and His Highest and most Noble form of Radicalism --- Perfect Love!

Radically noble in the sense that He was prepared to accept death on the cross if that was the only way by which He could anchor the Truth of His Teaching in the consciousness of humankind for all time.

He, as the Love of God --- and surely the most innocent of all --- even though suffering the grossest indignities until finally succumbing to the brutal act of murder perpetrated against Him; yet still offered up the greatest prayer of intercession ever for the senseless blind who committed that atrocity.

His noble prayer thus stands as an indictment against those who murdered Him then, and against those today who still very wrongly believe that His painful and brutal death on that cross could somehow be sanctified and Divinely Blessed by An Almighty God as some kind of loving act of propitiatory sacrifice to cleanse the evil and sin of an undeserving humanity.

The very words of the prayer itself stand in rightful accusation against such an evil distortion of the great and incomprehensible Love of the Creator.

“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do!”

Thus: They did the wrong thing!

Through an anonymous yet spiritually-insightful poet, the pure and ennobled form of Christ’s Mission rings down through the centuries and is baptised in its own unequivocal message of sublime radiance and great Spiritual Power!
