WILL THE REAL JESUS STAND DOWN?

After Jesus was crucified, He spent the Sabbath Day resting just as God, the Father, did in the beginning. His work was finished. In the beginning, the work of God was both generating mankind and a habitat for man and the other creatures.

When Jesus said, “’It is finished,’ and bowed His head, and gave up the Ghost” (John 19:30);” it indeed was finished. The same thing happened at the Creation, “And God blessed them” (Gen 1:28)… “And the evening and the morning were the sixth day: (Gen 1:31). And finally, when all things were completed, it is written: 

Thusly, the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. (Gen 2:1-2)

 In the nearly six-thousand-years interim — ‘six days’ in God’s timing — He rested again, and again it was on the Sabbath Day that He rested.

The first ‘day’ of rest was the Creation wherein God generated all things, lastly mankind; then He was finished. Six thousand years later God finished His good work again, and again He rested. He had seeded the ‘garden’ a second time for His creatures to grow to be glorious again. As Jesus was glorified, so was mankind.

Glorification is twofold: (1) death and rebirth and (2) corruptible to incorruptible. Jesus did that so that man can do it as well.

After resting on the Sabbath Day, laying on a hard rock in a tomb, Jesus arose. God’s seed had grown, even on stone, and became a glorified man. Then Jesus shed His seed onto the ground (Adam in Hebrew) of Calvary, and Adam got a new start.

As one of the saints that arose alongside Jesus, the best bet is that the first to arise was Adam who then showed himself. Imagine the consternation when the skeptics saw naked Adam walking the streets of the city in his glorious new flesh and was not ashamed!

Then the Luciferin Conspiracy went wild after Jesus arose and the sealed and guarded tomb was found to be empty: 

Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, “Say you, ‘His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.’” And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught. (Mat 28:11-15)

 Together again, God and Adam; Jesus and Adam walked together in the Garden of Eden (John 19:41-42) as if neither had ever died! [1]

Adam was naked and was no longer ashamed for He would have had his Creator alongside of him. Something about the Resurrection of Jesus is usually glossed over — the disciples, when they encountered Jesus after He arose, “They came and held Him by the feet, and worshipped Him” (Mat 28:9). That has great significance!

“What was finished?” I ask again. God had said to the so-called Serpent, “I will put enmity between you (the Serpent in Judas) and the woman, and between your seed (Judas) and her seed (Jesus); it (Jesus) shall bruise your head, and you (Serpent) shall bruise His heel” (Gen 3:15). I submit that the Edenic Covenant with Adam was finished, and that Adam was restored to his glorious countenance.

The bruised heel would reveal that Jesus was fully man but also that He was the Object of the Edenic Covenant that would be bruised to defeat the Devil, Satan.

According to Healthline: 

A bruise is called a contusion in medical terms. They can occur anywhere on the body when your soft tissues are injured. Following the injury, small blood vessels under the skin break and allow blood to leak out.

Initially, the bruise might be tender and reddish or purplish. As it heals, the tenderness subsides and the blood will be metabolized. As this occurs, bruised skin turns from red to bluish to yellowish, and finally back to normal. It generally takes about two weeks for a bruise to resolve completely.

In some cases, your foot may feel as though it has a bruise. It may be tender or swollen, but there’ll be no discoloration. This may be because the broken blood vessels lie deeper under the skin or because your skin is thick, camouflaging the pooled blood.

 After hours of pressure from the weight of His Body, Jesus would have developed plantar fasciitis, a very painful inflammation and swelling of the bottom of the feet from the foot support on the Cross.

“The disciples came and held Jesus by the feet and worshipped Him” (Mat 28:9).

Like the scars from the nails in his hands and His pierced side; the bottom of the feet of Jesus would still have evidence that He had stood on the Cross without moving. His feet revealed to the disciples that Jesus was who He said He was and had arisen. They worshipped Him because He was both the Christ and He was the seed of Eve from Genesis, indicating that He was the same God from long ago, and that the creature, Adam, was now redeemed, ironically, after about 5500 years for Adam and 5-1/2 hours or so on the Cross. It took Jesus ‘six days’ or six hours in our time to die; then He rested on the seventh day. [2]

That is based on the truth; Jesus did die, and He did arise from death after resting in the tomb to regain the Virtue that He had lost during His redemption of Adam and his kind.

However, there was, as always, a narrative. Reread Matthew 28:11-15 above.

The watchmen revealed the truth to the chief priests. Both Annas and Caiaphas surely knew what was said was the truth because they paid hush money to the watchmen in exchange for their silence, or even denial of the truth. Instead of true testimony, the chief priests fabricated a new version of then truth; they were told to say, “His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.”

The watchmen did not see that. If anything, they saw only the Angel of God opening the tomb to reveal no Body of Jesus within. Instead, their narrative (lie) would be that what they saw were disciples of Jesus stealing His Body, implying that they had taken it and hid it in some unknown place. “This saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.”

“This day” was the date that Matthew wrote it in the first century. To this day in 2024, Jews still believe that the Body of Jesus was stolen. However, even due to intense investigation for centuries, the forensic evidence is that no Body has been found.

On the other hand, Muslims believe that there was no body to begin with; that it was a phantom of a man that was crucified. It must be that some of the disciples on Good Friday saw the Holy Ghost leaving Jesus and could not see that the Man, Jesus, was left hanging.

The narrative that Jesus was just a man who died to make a Name for Himself remains to this day. In their viewpoint, there was no death and resurrection, and some man named Jesus outperformed even Houdini. It was not the Greatest Story Ever Told but the Greatest Hoax Ever Conceived, even greater than the Great Russian Hoax of 2019.  

Hoaxes, now called ‘narratives’ are Satanic. From the beginning, people fell for the hoax rather than the truth. Hoaxes are easier to deal with than the truth which requires admitting that you were wrong all along; pride gets in the way of truth.

The Greatest Hoax, prior to then, was that deadly fruit would not cause death, to wit: go ahead and eat anything you want, “You shall not surely die,” so said the Serpent (Gen 3:4). It is the same now; take anything you want; it is good for you; and you will not die!

Death is not of the flesh as Adam and the woman discovered; it is the soul that dies, and as such; it is the soul that is saved (Psalm 31:9).

Narratives are the modus operandi of Satan. The world is full of narratives and one can usually follow the trail of money to discover the truth. The Jews believed the paid for narrative, rather than admit their wrong and that Jesus was, and still is, God in the flesh.

Truth makes people quite uncomfortable. The chief priests were very uncomfortable, even knowing the truth. They knew that they had killed God and rather than asking God for a pardon, they developed a narrative to save themselves; if the Body of God was stolen and had not arisen, then they had not killed God! In other words, rather than trust Jesus to save them, they endeavored to save themselves by deceitfulness.

Think about yourselves. How many times do you deceive to cover your sins? I have done that so many times myself, but the right way is to confess your sins to God and let Him justify you.

The chief priests sought to justify their actions by creating a façade. On the other hand, Jesus justified mankind by revealing truth; that He was God.

Jews still believe the narrative because if they do not, then they must admit that they are wrong.

I have revealed the truth to religious Jews, but they become irate; they must protect their delusion at all costs or admit that they have been wrong all along. On the other hand, secular Jews have no trouble in thinking that it might be true.



 

 

 



[1] The prevailing evidence is that the Garden of Eden was not in Iraq but Israel. Judea and its surrounding territory, perhaps the fertile crescent was most certainly the Garden of Eden, based on biblical passages. (See the commentary, The Two in One; Herrin Daily Thoughts: THE TWO-IN-ONE (kentuckyherrin.blogspot.com).

[2] According to the Books of Adam and Eve and Their Conflicts with Satan, 5500 hundred years equals 5-1/2 days in God’s time, and apparently it can equal 5-1/2 hours on the Cross.
