The Lord who was and art and shall be

5] And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

Jesus Christ WAS 2000 years ago
Jesus Christ IS Now, e.g. a JW in Israel
Jesus Christ Shall Be, in victorious form
(when those who pass on to the other side of armagedon
are transformed)
....

In this allegory, the Jesus Christ of 2000 years
ago was the Elijah sent before, the Jesus Christ
of today, probably Isaiah, whose great day of
judgment occurs according to the witness of history.

WHY do we say this?

In this allegory, the principal verses are in Malachi
Chapter four. The Jesus, subsequently, of the
new Testament is the "warning" sent by God,
Elijah, before the Great Day of the Lord.

The prophesied Lord is anti-typed or generated
by Isaiah. How do we know? Because of the predictions
made concerning him being bruised for our iniquities and
scourged. This is clearly in the context of speaking
truth to power and what happens when the power to which
truth is spoken refuses to accept truth. Certainly,
bruising and scourging of the truth teller. Isaiah's
prophesy, from the moment he made God into the form of
one seated on a throne has been about truth and power
and the actions of those in power when truth is their lot.

So, my current state:

The Jesus Christ that showed up 2000 years ago, who wrote
the Revelation, was INDEED as he said on the cross, Elijah,
sent by his story to turn the hearts of fathers and sons to
each other. SINCE God did not smite the earth with a curse,
but only seems to have began warning about doing so since 1914,
then he was the warning.

The Jesus Christ TODAY, is represented in argument form
by the entire Bible and in spirit form by any descendants
of Abraham and David who embraces the arguments propounded
by the Elijah Christ. This is the Lord who art and wast.
He is to be scourged and bruised to the extent that the
modern Fathers who are privy to the commandments of YHWH
are predicted and then prophesied to NOT, as with the ancients,
accept the Christ and his argument. Most people who have
an argument against their Fathers are destined to feel pain.
I should know....

Then again, I was also born "of a virgin" in "a manger" which
was an incubator in Zaria, the morning star, when there was no
room for me at the inn in Ibadan.

I'm certainly not making myself out to be the Christ... for if I
did I'd be inspiring more bruising and scourging than I've undergone,
in having an argument with my Fathers about out tradition and thus culture...
but, people like me represent his argument against the Rabbis, and to the
extent that I'm found to be Jewish, then people like me are
as well the resurrected Christ in the third day after crucifixion.
It would mean that the Jesus story is written partly as witness
history, partly as revealed prophesy. It is currently my best analysis.

SUSTAINING VERSES
[9] And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
[10] And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
[11] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
[12] But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
[13] Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
...
Mark 9
[9] And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
[10] And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
[11] And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
[12] And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
[13] But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
....
[17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
..

Now you say, but this is John the Baptist.
Indeed. A Mystery. Read
...
[20] And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
[21] And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
[22] Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
[23] He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
[24] And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
[25] And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
[26] John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
[27] He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

The bottomline, Elder, is that the God of Abraham, the Father
of the Jews, teaches a Universal message to be adhered to
by ALL people not just Jews. However, he used the Jewish
Nation to ILLUSTRATE his message in time and it is unwise
to ignore this illustration. Certainly, we do not say that
the Jews, today, are "God's Chosen People." I think we agree
that God CHOSE Israel in ORDER to speak to the entire planet.
The question concerns HOW God speaks to the entire planet.
There can be no doubt, Elder, that so long as a Rabbinic High
Council exists EXACTLY like the one that condemned Jesus to
death, then the message of Malachi as touted above, that
Elijah CAME to "restore all things." The "but they knew
him not," in that interpretation, HAS to be, elder, the
FINAL and apokalyptic warning to the Jewish nation that
their Father in Heaven, who granted them their nation,
is speaking. If NOW, sir, they deny the Christ, even though
his argument is in perfect form, then we can say "and they
knew Elijah not" and "Oh Jerusalem holds." Therefore,
if a Rabbinic Council of the State of Israel exists, then
the Christ of 2000 years ago was the Elijah who came to
restore all things via father/son relationships... and
if in this recursion, during the resurrection, by their
ACTIONS against Jewish children who argue FOR the Christ
"they know him not" then all things will NOT be restored
and Eden is to be reached through the SECOND destruction
of this system of things, not the one with New Jerusalem
being a physical place that DIDN'T exist before 1947,
but prophesied to be brought back by Ezekiel. In that awada
the temple in Ezekiel is to be reconstructed perfectly
as a signal that the children of Israel are listening to God.
