The Jesus Code

Elder Edwards:

The Murder of Roger Akroyd is written by Agatha
Christie, one of our treasures from the guild.
In "Murder" Dr. Sheppard is the alleged victim
of a crime and, as destiny would have it, Hercule
Poirot the famed interlocutor happens to be
vacationing with his trusty sidekick in those
parts. Of course murder is involved and it
becomes grave, as, we believe, the risk to
Dr. Sheppard. On the last page, in the tradition
of whodunnits, the detective Poirot is verbally
unraveling the plot when he turns and says ominously:
"Dr. Sheppard...!" It turns out that the criminal
was the thought-to-be-at-risk Dr. Sheppard,
and to boot a well respected member of high society.
He had engineered a crime and Poirot figured it out
on the last page: a revelation of sorts. This book,
the Murder of Roger Akroyd is recommended in the guild
for teens to develop focus and build creativity. The
story is written or arranged in a particular "style."
So it is, Father Edwards, with the New Testament of
the Christian Bible--whichever version or translation
one chooses, however many times the tetragrammaton
is found in it. Consider:

After establishing a basis in Hebrew philosophy and
Law, after immersing us in concepts of foundational
moments, choices, cause and effect--the old testament--
we are introduced in the first four books of the new
testament to a fella what named Jesus. Him, this
fella, why he was a regular old god. He did miracles
and healed the sick and flew and so on and so forth.
There are many consonances in the four stories of
this fellow and many areas that require some creativity
in order to bridge the gaps, for this inspired version
of the life of this Jesus to be compelling and precise.
We may consider this era of the bible the Synoptic Era.
What does that mean? For one thing, there was pressure
to know what was going on in Jesus' life so a synopsis
formed that would not have been enriched enough to capture
the mystery of what Jesus himself taught and went through.
Imagine one without a college degree in Legal Studies attempting
to critically analyze the judicial sparring at the High Court
of Justice over the years 1970-1973. However enriching, enlightening
or monumental the actual moments of debate, the uneducated
could only hope a synoptic view relative to an eventual outcome.
This is the gospel truth.

But comes a savior in the acts of an apostle named Paul. He is
a Jewish lawyer, ostensibly then well read in the Hebrew Scriptures,
who now believes that Jesus is Messiah, the promised anointed
one of the Israelites. Paul focuses us on what is important about
this Jesus whom we have been synoptically introduced to. He focuses
us on love, works, faith and prayer. He focuses us on death, resurrection
and sacrifice. And then, after a few scholarly touch ups by such
like Peter and John, we are given a complete portrait of the Christ
Jesus.

"I, Jesus, have sent mine angel...

I, Jesus, Elder Edwards. I, Jesus....

To the extent that the words of the Master are as well evocative,
how can we NOT also know what Jesus LOOKS like? It might be that
our blindness is a function of our lack of... truth? My argument
can neither be discounted nor refuted, as God lives through his Word,
Jesus lives through the word he signified by his Angel. Situate
yourself, Elder, at that Jesus FIRST... who took the books of
Isaiah, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Micah, Hosea, Obadiah,
Nahum, Zephania, etc... and wove each prophesy in a continuum
that was logically sanctioned by the laws of Moses in order
to respond prophetically to the elders of Israel concerning
the true will of the living God who in days yore spoke, elder
Edwards, to our Fathers. Just understanding the book of Leviticus
alone requires a superlative will that is rare in our times. But
then understanding all the prophesies and the entire Hebrew law and
then having the inspiration to understand and teach it all using
allegory, poetry and then prophesy to a willing disciple demonstrates
exactly who the historical Jesus was, when he was born, at what hour,
minute and second he rose every day of his life, the meaning of every
thought.. we have a complete PICTURE of the Christ Jesus in the Bible,
placed in complete moral context. We need not dwell too much on
the synoptic view of Christ's life since God is a God of the living
and not the dead. We should devour, with great marvel, the actual
signification given, elder Edwards, by "I, Jesus..."
I, Jesus... Elder Edwards... I, Jesus....

To give you a sense, Elder, of what "I Jesus" amounts to that
we are able to measure. He must have understood to be trivial:

1. The concept behind the links in
Mark 1-Genesis 1
Matthew 1-Genesis 5

2. The Law of Moses as documented in Leviticus

3. The History and Chronicles of the Kings of Israel

4. The scholarship on the psalms of King David

5. The legacy of Melchizedek, King of Salem (Salam is where
the word Shalom comes, according to the bible). Heb 7:2

6. The celestial prophesy of Ezekiel. Have you tried
reading and understanding this one? Wow!

7. The mathematically provable prophesy of Daniel.

8. The allegorical prophesy of Isaiah.

9. The works of ALL the prophets and their interpretation...

etc...


Then we can speak of Michael, whom Jesus taught and wrote in signification about....
