Sure:
I am from Nigeria and know NOTHING about the West
and its ways. Hence no assumptions hold that bind
our view. Fiat Lux, the blinding light of logic,
then, before the witness of all just and candid
men, shall be our judge. The Dalai Lama presides.
1. When approached by a European concerning one "King
of all the Kings" a Christ, I was skeptical. "He
would have to be superior to the King of all the Kings
in MY land" I told the European and his army. The European
asked who that was, and I said to him "you're speaking
to him. I'm the King of the Kings of Africa. The fellow
with the tent, that's just my corporate secretary."
2. Upon hearing the story, told in synoptic form, I deduced
with all the wise men of the earth, that this Jesus the Christ
might never have existed. But the riddle compounded when
an inspired verse warned that any spirit that denied that Christ
came in the flesh was not of God. So I decided to give it my
full attention. Upon reading the works of Paul it became clear
that there was a metaphorical gradient relative to the issues
of life and death. As children we often wonder where the dead
go. Well Paul begins to contextualize things for us, harking,
my wise men point out, to the Hebrew sages of yore. A very wise
dude, this Paul. We study more and discover that he is in fact
a Jewish Philosopher won over by this Christ whom we deduce might
not exist, but whom the admonition warns of denying in the flesh.
3. Then I came upon the Revelation of the Christ. By this time
I had read the Hebrew Scriptures diligently and had become
a student of its prophesies, as well as an interpreter of the
Law of Moses as handed down to the sons of Aaron. I realized
what power of mind it took to contemplate the deeper nuances
of Hebrew Philosophy and so was pleasantly riddled with pleasure
to discover that the Revelation of the Christ was narrated and taught
by one who was a Master of the Hebrew Scriptures and its prophesies.
Knowing what it took, what a feat of mind, to do what I had done--read
Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah*, Ezekiel, Micah, Joel, Habbakuk, etc--I
realized that this Christ would have had to be a total Master of the
Hebrew way. Alas when I approached Minister Faramade, perhaps not
intently knowledgeable of the extent to which the Book of the Revelation
is a thesis on the Jewish Prophetic sojourn, he excused himself by
downplaying the physical Christ who, like me, knew the Hebrew Prophesies
and THEN ordered them in an allegorical prophesy which in fact came to pass...
always pointing to the spirit form of Christ who did NOT teach and narrate
the book of the Revelation to John. So we ask Minister Faramade, have you
read the whole bible sir? Have you read all the books of the prophets?
Have you read the works of Paul? Have you read the Revelation? Then how
can you not say that the only precise image of Jesus is his own Revelation??
For, if a man exists as his words, through his words, as God exists as his
word through his word, then there is no clearer example of the light of Jesus
than that which he himself signified through his angel. The book of the Revelation was narrated and taught to John in the style of the ancient sages who
themselves hardly wrote anything down. It is a sin according to the Christian Theology to deny that Jesus came in the flesh, and downplaying the marvel of the talent it took to write the Revelation is the primary way through which Christ continues to be crucified till this day. That another many might not say to himself, this king is better than me... Christ lives through the Revelation of the Christ
and does so for as long as light is relevant to darkness... evidently.
...a tragedy can still be averted.... oh earth...
