The Little Bible That Was Eaten

  Elim  "Mute"    by roel1943 via FlickrThe Jamieson Fausset Brown Bible Commentary states:  "a little book - a scroll, little in comparison with the scroll, the book of Revelation 5:1, which contained the whole vast scheme of God's purposes, not to be fully read till the final consummation.  This smaller book contained only a portion which John was now to make his own, and then to use in prophesying to others."

What is in this little scroll, this little book, is what is not in the greater scroll, the greater book, which in being opened by the Lamb revealed to John/Yochanan the judgment through which the Lamb, Yehoshua, was being and would be revealed as the King of kings, the Anointed King of Israel.

What then is in this little book is of the greatest significance, for it is that which is hidden in the word of God, the revelation of Mashiach that is hidden in the word of God. We see that it is the voices of the seven thunders which have been "muted" within the larger scroll, the larger Bible, and we therefore understand that at the time when the prophecy of this hidden aspect of the revelation of Mashiach charged to John is given the great roar of the seven thunders will be heard in all the world.

John 3:16 and The Jewish Nation

The Jordan River

We may understand Yehoshua's dialogue with Nicodemus by reading it in this way:
~

There was a Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews who came to Yehoshua by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that you art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that you do, except God be with him.
~

 What was Nicodemus wanting to say or to ask?  Was he asking about Yehoshua's person, his teaching, his power to work miracles, his relation to the Pharisees, or to the rulers of Israel as a whole?  Did his question imply that he thought that Yehoshua was possibly the promised Messiah but that he was confused because he was not doing the things that he expected the Messiah to do?

Yehoshua answered and said unto him,  I tell you the truth, Except a person is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God.
~

Yehoshua answered his implied question by telling him that it was not enough that people saw his miracles.  They must see them with eyes enlightened by the Holy Spirit.  Then they would not only see that their power was from God but they would also see and understand the meaning of his miracles as foretold by Moshe and the Prophets.  From this they would have the right basis for understanding who he was and what he was doing in Israel.  For this to happen a person would have to receive a new creation of the life in their soul.  They would have to be born again, this time from Above.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

 Nicodemus asked him how it was possible for a person to literally be born over again while they were yet in their present body and in the present world.  It was commonly taught that when converts were baptized and became Jews they became legally a new person, as if they were born again.  Nicodemus recognized that Yehoshua was talking about something more than even this.

Yehoshua answered, I am telling you the truth, Except a person be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not be amazed that I said unto you, You must be born again.

The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you can not tell where it comes from, or where it goes: so is it with every one that is born of the Spirit.
~

Yehoshua explained then to Nicodemus that a convert might be immersed in a mikvah or in the Jordan river where they would be accounted as legally dead to their life as a gentile and legally alive as a Jew but unless they also are immersed in the Holy Spirit, so that they die to their life in Adam and come alive to the life that is given through the Holy Spirit of God, it is of no avail that they are baptized in water.

Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

Yehoshua answered and said unto him, Are you a master of Israel, and do not know these things?

I am telling you the truth, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you do not receive our witness.

If I have told you earthly things, and you do not believe what I tell you, how shall you believe if I tell you of heavenly things?

And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Adam who is in heaven.

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Adam be lifted up, that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For this is the way that God loved the world, he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
~

For this is the way that God chose to love the Jewish people, he gave his only begotten son to redeem the nation that whoever in all the world believes on him should not perish but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 
~

For God did not choose the Jewish people in order to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved by His giving his son as a redemption for His family, the Jewish people.

The Harvest of The Goyim

                 The Wailing Place
Everything Shaul (Paul) did and said was about the work of planting and harvesting a testimony among the nations, a testimony that the promise made by God to Abraham has been fulfilled in Yehoshua (Jesus) the Messiah.  All of this work is now about to be finished.

When it is finished there will be no more adversity coming to the Jew in the name of Christianity.  There will no longer be an anti-Semitic Christianity in the world.  Instead, it will be  acknowledged by everyone who has any interest in Yehoshua (Jesus) at all that he was claimed only to be a Jew of the tribe of Judah of the line of David.  He was not reported by anyone to be of the tribe of Benjamin, for example, nor of Levi, nor of any other tribe or people.    If he was Messiah he was the promised Messiah of the Jews, not of the Romans, not of the Persians, not of the Arabs nor others.  When the work of the testimony among the Goyim, (the nations), is finished everyone, friend and foe, will admit to the importance and truth of this.

It will be admitted by all that if he was the promised Messiah he was giving new revelation to the promise of the Messiah in Israel.  He was revealing himself as a Messiah who would be rejected and would freely lay down his life, rather than forcing himself on his beloved bride, Jerusalem.  It will be admitted by all that if he is the Messiah he gave himself over to death in order that God might keep His promise to Abraham, the promise He made by covenant with Abraham.

It will be agreed that if he is the Messiah he is the Messiah because he was sent by God to be the Prophet like unto Moses to lead Israel into the perfection of obedience to the Torah.  It will be acknowledged  that if he is the Messiah he is the Messiah because when he was rejected by his own, rather than condemning his people for rejecting him and his Father who sent him he laid down his life.  It will be recognized that if he laid down his life, he laid down his life freely in an act of eternal justification and forgiveness toward Israel.  And then the testimony will be clear that he did this in order that God might keep and fulfill His covenant with Abraham, to bless him and his family and all the nations of the earth through him.

It will be admitted by all that if he is the Messiah he will come again to his own when his own are prepared to receive him.   For this is truly the Good News of Israel and Her Messiah, the corporate salvation in heavenly places of God's chosen nation, through Yehoshua, her Messiah and Redeemer.

A Shofar a Thousand Cubits Long

HISTORICAL INTERIOR OF THE RASHI SHUL IN WORMS
R. Tavi said in the name of R. Yoshia: "What do we learn from the following text? 'There are three things that are never satisfied:... the grave and the womb....' How comes the grave next to the womb? - This juxtaposition teaches you that just as the womb takes in and gives forth again, so the grave takes in and will give forth again. Moreover, if the womb which takes in silently gives forth with loud noise [i.e., the crying of the infant], does it not stand to reason that the grave which takes in with a loud noise [i.e., the wailing of the mourners], will give forth [those who are revived] with a loud noise? Here is an answer for those who deny that Techiyas HaMeisim is taught in the Torah."
Rashi cites the verse (Yeshayahu 27:13), "And it shall be on that day, that a great Shofar shall be sounded...." The Midrash entitled Osios deRabbi Akiva elaborates (sec. 9): "How will the A-mighty resurrect the dead in the time to come? He will take up a Shofar a thousand cubits long and will sound it, and it will reverberate from one end of the world to another. With the first blast the world will be in an uproar; with the second, the earth will split," and so on. See also Pirkei deRabbi Eliezer, sec. 34.
