We usually gloss over the 'multitudes' in scripture as just many that followed Jesus. There is more to them than that.
In scripture, the Hebrews were sons
of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; not that they were his sons but were of
his gens, as it is called in the Latin. The ethnic area called ‘Judea’
was the home of the Jews, those of the gens of Judah. Israel, which was
the northern kingdom was by then not ethnically pure.
Flavius Jospehus wrote that after
the defeat of Israel (not to include Judah, as it was called at that time,)
that there was a diaspora of the Israeltites eastward and that they were
replaced by the Cuthites from near Babylon. Israel had become Samaria, and
indeed it was odd that there was a ‘good Samaritan’ because they were not fully
Jews and as such they were considered unclean in Judaism.
It is often written that the multitudes
followed Jesus (e.g., Mat 12:15). The ‘multitude’ was an admixture of races and
even the Gentiles (non-Jews) that followed Jesus. Contrast the commoners (multitudes)
who followed Jesus for goodness to the Jewish Pharisees who pursued Him for
evil. The root noun from which the multitudes come means “of common thought.”
They all followed Jesus because they believed Him to be God whereas the
Pharisees challenged that thought.
Jesus acknowledged His Identity: as
the Son of man and the Son of God. As the Son of man (huios anthropos),
meant that He was beheld to be of the posterity of man, but rather was
the ‘Son of God’ (huios theos). ‘Son’ in that instance is not ‘yios’
but ‘huios.’ The former is the
first generation offspring, whereas the latter is the posterity of some more
ancient predecessor.
Matthew chapter one reveals
Jesus as the Son of man, or the posterity of Abraham through Joseph, His supposed
father (Luke 3:23). On the other hand, Luke 3:38 presents Jesus as the Son
of God, not directly as a parent but as the posterity of the Father.
Note that Abraham was the supposed
progenitor of Jesus but the LORD GOD His real posterity. [1]
Just as Cain was the supposed son
of Adam (Gen 4:1) and Jesus the supposed Son of Joseph, Isaac was the supposed
son of Abraham. The point therein is that all three were the posterity of the
LORD GOD. Matthew chapter one stops short with the genealogy of Abraham because
that had gone far enough. The next generation would have been the LORD GOD because
Abraham had been regenned in the fiery furnace by God.
Terah was, according to the Book
of Jasher (chapter twelve), not the father of Abraham. Abraham was created
by God (Jasher 12:9). Matthew stopped short because he was well aware of the gens
of Jesus went back to God, not to Terah, the supposed father of Abram.
With those things said, Jesus was
supposed to be the progeny of Adam but that was not so; He was the progeny of the
LORD GOD period because He is God! The flesh of Jesus was no more than the ‘coat
of skin’ that God put onto Adam after sin (Gen 3:21). It was the ‘Garment of
Adam’ that must be crucified; hence the ‘place of the skull’ (the cranium of
Adam). [2]
The crucifixion was much about taking
off the flesh of the female Adam and revealing the Spirit of God within — the very
Holy Ghost of Jesus that is God’s True Image. (Gen 1:27) [3]
So far, the goal was to reveal why
Jesus is God, not just the Son of God. You may ask a not so silly of a question,
“Is Jesus now without flesh?”
No, Jesus was glorified at death.
By that I mean that His ‘Garment of Adam” was removed and replaced with the
unrecognizable glorious flesh of God. (John 7:39). Jesus shed the flesh that
Adam wore and replaced it with flesh that God had originally made for Adam; the
flesh that kept Adam safe from the fiery darts of the Wicked One. That flesh
was temporary until Jesus was glorified alongside Jesus. (Mat 27:53).
Good Friday was beginning of regeneration
for Jesus. First, he shed the flesh of
Adam then God would a few days later put onto His Ghost a new skin that was
glorious like the one the LORD GOD had made for innocent Adam.
When Paul wrote that “He has made
Him to be sin for us” (2 Cor 5:21), that can be taken literally; Jesus arrived on
planet Earth with the flesh of Eve — the female Adam. Hence, Jesus is the Son
of Man because of Eve who was the ‘mother of all living” (Gen 3:20).
The flesh that died was the flesh
that Eve produced. He was born of a virgin; hence Adam’s kind had no part in His
coming. The flesh that Jesus gave up on the Cross was perhaps the decadent genetics
of the ‘Serpent’ though Eve because it was that day the Crucifixion of Jesus
defeated sin. (Sin is more than a virus but a genetic disfiguration within.)
Note that Judas died that same
day as Jesus and Satan who was in him had only one place to go. Maybe he
vacated the body of Judas and went with the flesh of Jesus to his grave. Not
only would sin be carried away from mankind but the Devil as well. (I wish I
knew this for certain because it makes sense scripturally, and to be honest,
those thoughts were given to me, and I am sure it was from God.)
Lastly, for the multitudes… they
were the sons of Man through Eve as well since she is the mother of all. The multitudes
included the sons and daughters of Eve, and even Haggar, the mother of Ishmael.
The multitudes included the Babylonians and even the Arabs — all the sons of
the female ‘Adam.’
When scripture speaks of Adam, it
is natural to think of the male of the species. However, it can be concluded
that Adam was not the father of all living or scripture would not have assigned
that distinction to the female alone. It may have not been the place of the
male Adam’s skull but the female’s of Adam’s kind. If that is true, then Jesus
died for all the living — the ‘whosoever’ in John 3:16.
The multitudes were the ‘sons and
daughters” of Eve, not that Eve was their mother, but that the multitudes were
of her gens, or genetics, and not necessarily of the male Adam.
That mitochondrial DNA, call them
excess genes, are passed along only by the female of the species, therefor the
genetic ‘Adam’ of all mankind — the multitudes — are from Eve. It is her that
sinned first, was it not?
The Jews, perhaps, wanted Jesus
killed for some hidden reason. Perhaps because the blood of Jesus would make
the multitudes equal to them, and indeed it did, “He is not a Jew, which is one
outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he
is a Jew, which is one inwardly…” (Rom 2:28-29).
Paul was speaking to Gentile
Romans and making them Jews, not in the flesh, but in the Spirit. The Romans
were part of the multitudes that would soon follow Jesus. They were ‘sons of man’
as well but not the male ‘man’ but the female Adam. They all had the mitochondrial
“granular thread’ of Eve within their fleshes.
King Solomon was the first to
identify mitochondrial DNA; he wrote, “Or ever the silver cord be loosed” (Ecc
12:6). Literally, the meaning from the Hebrew is when the pale twisted thread
becomes distant.
Solomon was speaking about DNA in
some distant time, perhaps at the Crucifixion when Eve’s DNA would be regenned
by Jesus. He did that for the multitudes. He carried away all their “sins that
are past” by the propitiation of His blood (Rom 3:25).
Jews are different. They were
chosen and peculiar people (Deut 14:2). Because of the birth of fatherless and
motherless Isaac, mankind was redeemed but that would work only for a time. Before
Christ was crucified, rest was in Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16). It was by his
seed, or DNA, that they were rewarded as the sands in the sea — the granules in
the waters — perhaps the semen.
The multitudes were common and
many. They were neither chosen nor peculiar; they merely followed. They
had very little of the DNA of Abraham within their genes. Jesus would correct
that, speaking to Christians, Paul wrote, “You are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people…” (1 Pet 2:9).
Why all the turmoil between Jews
and the multitude— the rest of us? We are vying to be a special people to God.
When Muhammad came, the battle
got fierce because they are now the ‘multitudes.’ Their ‘Jesus’ is Isa who I
believe is the Beast of scripture. They in the 600’s AD defected from Judaism
and Christianity and created another ‘god’ called ‘Isa’ that has the spirit of
Satan in him.
The world will someday, for a
short time, be a worldwide caliphate. They seek that and that is in harmony
with scripture.
In conclusion, the point is that
we are all ‘sons of Satan’ not that we have Satan within us but his genetics.
That can only be corrected by gene editing. Jesus did that on Good Friday 33 A.D.
and we need no further tampering.
