"Either make the tree good,
and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit
corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit." (Matthew 12:33)
|
<1>A
man who does good is a good person, but a man who is
evil
cannot do good, unless he changes himself. <2>You know them by their fruit (action).
|
"O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being
evil,
speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh." (Matthew 12:34)
|
<3>Esa
was telling them, "You who are
evil and strive to
gain the respect and attention of men instead of
God,
why should I expect you to speak good things and praise and glorify
the Lord who has given such powers to man? <4>You cannot see good and say good things
because your hearts (fourth
chakra, sacred
heart) are darkened (crudified), 'for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh.' That is why you say such
evil things about
me."
|
"A good man out of the
good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an
evil man out of the
evil
treasure bringeth forth
evil
things." (Matthew 12:35)
|
<5>From
the heart comes actions and perceptions. "From your
evil hearts, you
see me as the
devil.
But if you had a pure heart, you would see me as I truly am and
recognize my purity and beauty."
|
"But I say unto you,
That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account
thereof in the day of judgment."
"For by thy words thou shalt
be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." (Matthew
12:36-37)
|
<6>As
Esa
said, the words come from the heart. If the heart is darkened and
evil,
the words and also the action (fruit) will be
evil.
<7>So each man's
words and actions represent his heart, and he will be judged
accordingly.
|
"Then certain of the
scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see
a sign from thee."
"But he answered and said
unto them, An
evil
and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:" (Matthew
12:38-39)
|
<8>The
people were asking for signs instead of listening to his teachings
and truth. <9>Many
signs were given before by many
Prophets and still people did not
believe in them, listen to their words, or follow the truths they
revealed. <10>Esa
came, performed many miracles, and taught them the truth, but still
they were asking for a sign. <11>The
false
ego seeks all kinds of excuses to not
see the truth.
<12>The
only sign he gave them was "the sign of prophet Jonas."
|
"For as Jonas was three
days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man
be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." (Matthew
12:40)
|
<13>This
was the only sign he gave to them to witness as the sign of his
authority. But even this sign has been distorted by the paganizers
of
Christianity in the Roman empire, after
Christianity was accepted as the state
religion.
<14>It
is believed that he was crucified on Friday and rose on Sunday.
However, study of the gospels shows that
Christ
was put in the cave ("heart of the earth") in the evening.
<15>According to the
belief of the majority, he was in the cave Friday night, Saturday
during the day, and Saturday night, and rose on Sunday morning. This
would mean that he was in the "heart of the earth" only two nights
and one day. <16>So
if we believe this (that he died on Friday night and rose Sunday
morning), then
Esa failed to
fulfill the only sign he gave for his legitimacy.
<17>However,
if he had been crucified on Friday and stayed in the cave for "three
days and three nights," then he should have risen on Monday
afternoon about the same time of day that he had been put into the
earth.
<18>The
truth is that Mary and her companions went to the cave where
Esa was laid on
that Sunday morning, and found it empty. That is because he had left
it the evening before on Saturday afternoon around the same time
when he was put inside the cave on the day he was crucified (later
than the ninth hour of the day or three o'clock in the afternoon by
our time standard). <19>Therefore
he was taken to the cave on Wednesday before that Saturday, and he
was in the "heart of the earth for three days and three nights."
That is why those women who went to the cave the next Sunday morning
did not find him there.
<20>This
truth, like many other truths about
Christ
and his teaching, was changed after
Christianity became the state religion
of the Romans, with acceptance by the masses in great multitudes.
They accepted the basic
concepts of
Christianity with
Christ
as the Savior, but they transformed it into a new religion with many
flavors of their pagan religions, especially
Mithraism.
<21>In
fact, it was a part of the doctrine of
Mithraism that a Savior from a virgin
would come and all would be saved through him. So this part of the
story of the birth of
Christ
matched their basic beliefs. <22>Also
they injected their own festivals and holidays into the new
religion. That is why most of the Christian religious holidays have
pagan origins from the Roman religions.
<23>Sunday
was the weekly holiday in which the sun
god
(Mithra)
was worshipped, and Friday also was an exalted day. That is why a
formula was created so that both Friday and Sunday stayed exalted as
before. <24>Indeed
the true Christians of the east and far west in England observed
Hebrew Holy Days (their list is in
Leviticus 23)
until 700 A.D., and their
Sabbath
was on Saturday.
<25>Therefore,
he fulfilled his promise of staying in the heart of the earth for
three nights and three days by being in the cave from Wednesday
until Saturday afternoon, the
Sabbath.

"The men of Ninevah shall rise in judgment with this generation, and
shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas;
and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here."
"The queen of the south shall
rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it:
for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the
wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."
(Matthew 12:41-42)
|
<26>Those
who have strived to reach higher consciousness in many previous
lifetimes will come back, hear his words, and rejoice in their
truth. Eventually they will gain control of the Kingdom of
God
on earth and will render judgment on this rebellious generation.
<27>That is
because
Christ, one who is
in
Pure Consciousness,
who is greater than both Jonas and Solomon, was there and the people
would not listen to the truth he revealed. So they have to go
through much suffering until they become awakened.
