Jesus makes a distinction between Earthly and Heavenly
Jesus made these
proclamations, which apply right through all the ages. If I have told you earthly things,
and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? John 3:12, and
also,
And he said, (to his disciples) Unto you it is given to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not
understand. Luke 8:10. Also from the Prophets,
Isaiah 8:16. Let my teaching be kept secret: and my words be given to my disciples only.
Questions have to be asked, what are the heavenly things, which they did not understand then and not
even today? And what are the mysteries, which are only given to the true disciples? Because Christ referred this to
his disciples, which in reality was pointing to those in the future to come.
Also, why does Jesus specifically make a distinction between earthly and heavenly things? And why
all those, who claim to be from God, they haven't the spiritual light, which is the scriptural revelation, and why,
have they been looking at the scriptures all these years as a physical event? (While claiming that they've received
revelation, which is not true). And for centuries now, they've been trying to figure out the scriptures by guesswork
and by making up all kinds of stories and assumptions, where all the questions remained unanswered.
Therefore, it becomes quite evident that there is a difference between the earthly things and
referring of-course to the literal narrative, the letter, the story of what one reads and the heavenly things,
referring to the hidden knowledge 'manna' which is encoded within the framework of the letter itself.
The scripture is being presented as an historical event, but at the same time, there is no
historical evidence of any kind to prove it and one of the biggest mysteries of history is that there is no evidence
of Israel ever been captives to the Egyptians.
God is using the natural things as 'focal points' and means to teach us the spiritual. He uses the
visible and tangible earthly things, while behind them and at the same time lay hidden, spiritual and heavenly
knowledge, where wisdom and understanding is needed to work them out; like a crossword with its cryptic clues.
(Cross-Word?) The
word of the cross? Many things are in front of our eyes but we cannot see them, which we
shall prove in time.
But let's prove whether the scriptures are physical or not, by
looking into the story of the Ark to begin with, because just the same as the creation, has puzzled man since the
beginning of time. Which in reality concerns us today, where we must not look at it as a thing of the past, due to the
lack of understanding of what it really represents.
This is why it is written: all the
things that were written aforetime, were written for our admonition and learning today and
even what Paul said, was also a shadow of things to come, so that we might have hope
through patience and comfort of the scriptures. Rom.15: 4
The Ark's dimensions
Let's take the Ark's dimensions, which are 300x50x30 cubits in length, width and height, if we were
to work them out in feet, it will be 450x75x45 feet, because one cubit equals one and a half feet, eighteen inches, or
forty-five centimetres.
By yesterdays and even by today's standards we are looking at a huge cargo ship, where it has
disappeared into thin air and is nowhere to be found, if though many over the years have tried to locate it,
but without any success. They've even spent fortunes doing it and some are still trying at this very moment, as we
speak, also many have even written books about Noah's flood and claimed that they can prove it scientifically. The
question is, why should God create a natural world and suddenly decides to destroy it? Thus indicating that God had
made a mistake, which indeed does not make any sense; and why did the animals offend Him and how could all those
animals survive locked up for an entire year, and for150 days, which equal five months, without air, without
ventilation? Because the Ark was sealed up with black pitch and was also made up in rooms, can you really imagine an
elephant or a rhino locked up in a wooden box for so long, what about a giraffe being so tall? What did the big cats
eat or the big bears, what about the skunks, phew? What about the methane gas? Lucky for Noah that matches weren't yet
invented. Through a Jewish tradition, it is believed that Noah was the first astronaut, I am not surprised that the
ark cannot be found, forgive me this is just a joke, but is to see things logically that the scriptures physically
they don't add up.
The Ark was built in three levels, plus a hidden level
The Ark, which was built in three levels 'storeys' and used as a focal point, 'a picture in one's
mind' which could be compared to a ship naturally, which also mean that one third or one level of it was hidden under
water, as a normal ship. But in reality has nothing to do with a ship, but a metaphor, a substitute, in the place of
something else.
And what about the flood! The waters rose fifteen cubits above the highest mountain, has anybody
truly, ever given it a thought, for the waters to cover up a range of mountains and the flood supposedly, was
universal, because every flesh and living thing had died, drowned. And how much water is needed to do that, where did
all that water come from and where did it all disappear afterwards? There is no way that the waters on earth could
increase in any way, because the rain as we all know comes from the oceans, where it goes back again. The only way for
the waters to increase, but very little, if the glaciers were to melt and again, they could not flood the entire
planet. Man tends to believe in fairy tales, we can see that it is easier for a man to believe in myths, where there is
no understanding through logic.
An example
Let me give you an example; in the Hellenic mythology we read about the centaurs, which were half
man and half horse, we all know that never on this planet we've had such a monstrosity. But the question is how did
this exaggeration come about and who were in reality the centaurs?
You see over the years, storytellers and poets through the tales of village people, and for the sake
of writing something unusual, they've exaggerated things out of proportion. By the way, centaur means, someone who
spears a bull, a Taurus.
But let's look at the logical explanation, the so-called centaurs were
nothing more than excellent horsemen, who drove cattle from A to B, and looked after cattle, in actual fact they were
ranchers. They were, of what we call today 'cowboys', which has nothing to do with half man and half horse, but
excellent horsemen, but myth and tradition always twists things. And obviously like all things, the scriptures through
traditional beliefs and lack of understanding of their spiritual significance have been twisted.
The story of the flood does not add up
The story of the flood and of the Ark does not add up, God said that the life of all flesh, shall
only be one hundred and twenty years. And that was before the flood; and Noah carries on living to be 600 and 950,
another 350 years after the flood.
Genesis 6:3. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not
always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years (120).
Also, Shems' age does not add up
Also, Shem the son of Noah, we read that he was one hundred years old, two years after the flood,
while we read that Noah was five hundred when he had three sons.
In the meantime Noah was 600 when the flood came, meaning that Shem was 100, but surely Shem was one
hundred and two, (102) two years after the flood, but why should the scriptures make this statement? Which goes to
show that there is a cryptic somewhere hidden within the letter, the natural story and not so much a contradiction.
Genesis 11:10. This is the account of Shem: two years after the
flood, when Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad. (Hebrew texts)
And if we were to read the Hebrew and the Hellenic versions of Genesis
7:11, we can see that there is a difference of ten days on their account of events. The
question would be; have they in reality, made a mistake or was it put there on purpose and for a good reason?
Another and very important event that we must observe and take notice of; is where Noah had sent the
dove three times to the one time of the raven and where the dove brought back a leaf of the olive tree and the raven
never came back. But was feeding on corpses. If though the scriptures narrate to us a natural story, behind that story
hides a different meaning in cryptic clues.
And also, why should Moses tell us that the Ark was on the waters for 150 days and why mention that
the waters were 15 cubits above the highest hill or mountain. Meaning that the Ark was also15 cubits above the
mountain, what is the significance of such detailed narrative? How did Moses actually know the measurements of the
depth or height of the waters and why should Moses specifically give us these numbers and just the same with the
dimensions of the Ark and of the animals that went in pairs, two by two and so forth?
What is the teaching of the Ark?
What is the teaching and understanding for us, whether the Ark was 25 or 35 cubits or whatever
height, or if the Ark spent 250 days on the waters? This is the reason that up to now, no one has really understood
the hidden meanings of the scriptures.
But not just the Ark, even the age of Noah and also the age of Adam why should the writer make sure
to mention these numbers? Did man actually live such a prolonged life or is it just a cryptic? Moses came some two and
a half thousand years after Adam and one and a half thousand years after Noah and also one and a half thousand years
before Christ, how did Moses know about Adam and Noah and also about Christ, because he wrote about Him.
The volume of the ark
The volume of the ark, when worked out, which is 300x50x30=450,000 plus the hidden level, which is
another 300x50x10=150,000, so, when we add 450,000+150,000=600,000.
I don't expect anyone to understand this just yet, but do bear these numbers in mind.
