The Life
The Messiah Is the One Who Fulfills The
Prophecies Of His Coming.
When
the Jews found out that their customs and beliefs were so diluted
that they no longer had the original foundation, the people started
to long for a Messiah to guide them to the right path. That is
when the coming of the Messiah was prophesied by many Prophets.
So the expectation arose, and many prophecies came to the Jews in
symbolic language. They created expectations and concepts of
how the Messiah should be and in what manner he would come.
Even in this aspect there was not a common agreement between
different groups.
***
We see there are a lot
of prophecies in the Bible about the coming of the Christ,
Esa. Christians always refer to that part of the Bible
for the legitimacy of Esa being the Christ, the Expected One, the
one for whom they were waiting.
We also see in
Genesis that when God talked with Abraham, God said, “You are
going to have a son by the name of Isaac.” Abraham fell in
front of God and said “Let Ishmael be blessed.” He did not
believe that he was really going to have another child when he was
99 years old and his wife was 90 years old. He did not really
think he was going to have a child. So he was asking God, “Let
Ishmael be blessed, do not worry about another child. You know
I am not going to have another child. Anything you want to
give to a new child, just give it to Ishmael.”
And God said, “He is already blessed.” God gave a lot of
blessing and a lot of territory to Abram, before his name was
changed to Abraham. After He gave these promises, Abram had a
son by the name of Ishmael from Hagar. And then He changed the
name of Abram to Abraham, and He changed the same of Sarai to Sarah.
Then He promised him another son, and promised him new land for his
second son Isaac.
***
God promised Abraham
that He would give two gifts to his children. One was a kingly
spiritual domination (scepter) and the other material property as
the birthright. These two gifts as promised were inherited
from Abraham to Isaac, and then to Jacob (Israel). At the time
of his death, Jacob separated these inheritances and gave the
scepter (kingly spiritual domination and lawgiving) to Judah.
The birthright was given to Joseph and his seed.
That is why the great king of the Children of Israel, King David, is
from the tribe of Judah, and also Esa, the King of the Jews (House
of Judah) is from the same tribe. Abraham is the father of all
the Hebrews, so he is the father of Esa also, and David was the king
and father of Judah, so he is also the father of Esa. That is
why Esa who became Christ is “the son of David, the son of Abraham.”
However, as Christ himself said to the Pharisees in Matthew
Chapter 22, verses 42-45:
They Say unto him, The son of David.
No one could answer this question. But what is the answer?
The answer is that Christ, or the First Begotten Son of God who
became Pure Consciousness (Christ Consciousness), was in the world
even before the creation of this manifested world. So
spiritually he could not be the son of any mortal man, not even
David or Abraham. However, in a fleshy sense, he was born from
a mother with Jewish ancestry and from the tribe of Judah.
Christ also is a consciousness, and a person.
Also Esa was conceived from a virgin, so in truth his birth was a
miracle and no worldly man could claim that he was his father.
He was in Pure Consciousness even before coming to this world.
He came to the earth as an Avatar (god-man). That is why he is
called Emmanuel (“God with us”). But even an Avatar does not
know he is a god-man until later on in his life when he realizes
himself and understands his mission.
Furthermore, Christ was incarnated as the first Adam who guided
other humans to the path of the spirit (path of Pure Consciousness)
and later on as Noah, and Abram (Abraham). In fact, as God had
promised to Abram (Abraham), “and in thee shall all families of the
earth be blessed,” the only way that all families of the earth could
be blessed is by Abram (Abraham) being incarnated in so many
different nations and situations, and bringing the truth and
blessing to them. So whoever any nation or people consider as
their father or the one who brought to them the blessings, is none
other than Christ. God never fails in His promises.
***
God also told Abraham
that his son Ishmael was blessed. We see the children of
Ishmael are whom? They are the Arabs, and they have a great
territory, stretching from Arabia all the way to the end of North of
Africa, and it goes to the Straight of Gibraltar where the
Mediterranean connects to the Atlantic Ocean.
So
God promised two things to Abram and Abraham. He promised a
territorial promise and a kingship, or scepter. The territory
of Isaac went to the Children of Israel. And as we said, their
king, who eventually manifested as the highest kingship with
spiritual power, was Christ, Esa.
He gave the same promises for Ishmael. That territory is where
the Arabs live, and their highest spiritual authority came from
Muhammad, their Prophet.
So you see, if you go through the prophecies in the Bible for
the coming of the Christ, you see also there are promises and
prophecies for the coming of Muhammad. So God promised to two,
both sons of Abram(Abraham), that they were going to have a
territory, and they were going to have a kingly dominating spiritual
force coming from them.
If the Arabs and the Christians and the Jews realize that, we can
see we would have more than half of humanity blessed through
Abram(Abraham) and his two sons. If they can become one by
just realizing these prophesies from God and their fulfillment, then
they can realize the rest of The Greatest Sign also is from
God. It explains and clarifies those things that humanity has
not yet realized.
If they do realize this, what do we have? We have unity.
We have converted humanity to that for which they pray. So we
have conversion. They will be converted to see the whole Truth
of the unification of all the religions together.
Of course, you need some expansion of the mind. You have to be
prepared for it. If you are a completely dogmatic Christian,
you do not want to hear about this. But that is OK. The
human situation, I hope, will become better, but it is first
going to become worse. Humans eventually have to reach a point
to see that what we are trying to tell them is the truth, and they
have no choice but to be(come) unified.

The Name Jesus Is Not The Real Name
Of The Man Who Preached
The Gospels
Two
Thousand Years Ago.
There Is No “J” In Hebrew, And He Was A Hebrew.
All those who have
studied the name “Jesus” and its origin agree with one thing:
That it is not his original name. The most common explanation
is that “Jesus is the Greek form (equivalent) of the Hebrew name
Y’shua.” In Latin the “Y” is pronounced “J”. How the
rest of the name “-shua” was transformed to “-esus,” there seems to
be no reliable explanation on earth.
***
So, if his real name
was not Jesus, what was his name? He had two names. One
was his sacred name, which is the name of the Messiah (
).
The Messiah always knows his sacred name. As it is not
pronounceable, we put the Hebrew equivalent for it. The Jewish
people never uttered the name of the Lord. If they uttered the
name of the Lord, they would be stoned to death because they knew
the real name of God cannot be pronounced. So anything you
call God on earth, is not His name.
It has been revealed to us that the name Jesus comes from Zeus.
The “Je” (“Jay” sound) means victory, and the “seus” means the god
Zeus. Have you ever heard about Zeus, the Greek god?
After Christianity was accepted in the Roman Empire, the name of
Esa, which was the earthly name of Jesus, was changed to “Jay”
(victory to) “Zeus.” Jay means victory. Zeus means the
god Zeus or victory to Zeus. So his name became Jesus.
In the East, people know Jesus as Esa, Esa the Christ. Even in
the writings about Christ that they found in a monastery in India,
the name has been referred to as Esa.
***
Similar sounding names
also can be found in Hebrew, such as “Esau” and “Isaiah.” In
Arabic and other close neighbors to them (such as Persia), he is
also called “Esa.” That is why whenever the name Jesus is used
in our literature to identify him for the western audience, the name
Esa is also included to let them know his true birth name.
Therefore, his earthly
name was Esa and his sacred name, which cannot be pronounced, is
written in Hebrew with the five letters (
).
That is why we use that as his sacred name and Esa as his earthly
name. Jesus never was his name.
So that fulfills another prophecy that, “Many will come and tell me
that we cast out devils in your name. And I say, ‘I know you not,’
you are the worker of iniquity,” because they are not really using
his name ()
to cast out the devil. They are invoking the name of Zeus to cast
out the devils. So that is why he told them, “No, I do not accept
your work. Your work is not done in my name. You are casting out the
devils not in my name, but in the name of others.
***
The Sacred Name was
also known in Islam. In a story about Muhammad, someone asked
him, how many names does God have? He answered “3000”.
Of these, 2,999 are revealed to humanity.” The One which is
kept secret is His Sacred (Holy) Name.
The creative energy (the movement felt within when repeating The
Holy Name or The Word silently inside) created by the words (when
the Name of the Father and Son merge as One) is the Mother (The Holy
Ghost).
***
In the prayer, “In the
Name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Ghost,” the Name of the Son
is used in the middle between The Father and The Mother to show that
he is the mediator to manifest them in the manifested universe.
Without the Son, the qualities of The Father and The Mother would
remain un-manifested!
***
There Has Never In History Been
A Messenger, Prophet, Or Son Of
God That Was Not Born From An Earthly
Mother.
The expectation
that He will come from the sky (heaven) is true. But sky or
heaven means Pure Consciousness. He comes from Pure
Consciousness. He is an Avatar.
Cloud means confusion. Whenever the earth becomes weak and
confusion prevails, His Spirit will rise on earth (Bhagavad Gita
4:7).
***
Look at every Great
Prophet. Moses, Abraham, Muhammad, Christ, etc., all were born
from a woman. They were raised in the society. They were
apparently regular people. Suddenly they realized their
mission and then the message became the most important thing in
their lives.
***
After Esa’s spiritual
eye was opened, his true struggle in overcoming the power of the
tama guna started. That is why he was led to the wilderness,
which is a symbol for the turbulent, uncontrollable mind. In
this wilderness of his turbulent consciousness, he started the
greatest battle in his life, the battle of overcoming the lower
nature which leads man to all kinds of attractions, desires,
attachments, greed, or Maya. John opened his eyes but it was
Esa himself who should have to overcome.
In the
Bible (Matthew
Chapter 3), it is after Esa overcame the temptations of evil that he
again became Christ. He has to overcome in every
lifetime in order for him to recognize his Christhood.
***
Never has a Savior
come who has saved all instantly, and never will there be. It
is the wishful thinking of the childish character who believes this.
Each person has to grow – the Savior can show the way – but it is
you who has to walk it.
It is like a seven year old child to say, why doesn’t his Father,
who is the head of the university, just give him a doctorate degree
without him going through all the years of training in school, high
school, etc.? We are here to learn many lessons. No one
can be saved until he or she is ready.
***
The difference between
the man Esa (Jesus) and the Christhood of Esa was that Esa was an
Avatar (god-man). He was god because he had come from Pure
Consciousness. He was man because he was in the body. That is
why he called himself a son of God (god) and also a son of man
(man).
In his Divine state he was Christ and in his human body he was the
man Esa (Jesus).
***
Because Esa was born
an Avatar (from Pure Consciousness to flesh) he remembered very well
that the goal of the life is to be(come) Divine, and one of the ways
to reach this goal is to follow and live, “by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” By following His Will,
then the substance will be provided.
A man who only lives for bread (physiological and safety needs) is
found in his first chakra and cannot emerge from being earthbound.
***
All of the things
happened in Esa’s life, such as the wise men coming, Herod being
informed of the child so that he was aroused, and then Mary and
Joseph being forced to go to Egypt, so that the prophecies “by the
prophet” were fulfilled.
Also, by Esa and his family moving to Egypt, they came in touch with
the Egyptian spiritual knowledge and were influenced by it.
***
Esa went to Persia, to
Pakistan, to India, to Tibet and he studied with all the people
there. Actually if you look at the teaching of Esa, it sounds
very much like Krishna’s teaching in the Bhagavad-Gita:
“I am the way and whoever comes to me will reach the Father-God.”
It is very, very similar. When you read the New Testament
and the Bhagavad-Gita,
you see so much similarity there. It is the same Spirit.
***
I
do not believe that he really studied much. He just
picked up from the Spirit. He was their revealer for many
lifetimes! The doctors were saying, “This twelve year old boy
knows a lot.” He knew, not of the book. I do not think
anyone can learn all these things by reading only, but the Spirit of
the Father comes through him, and tells him the truth.
***
Esa The Christ came as
the expected Messiah. He came in a humble way and preached the
gospel of the Kingdom Of Heaven to the Jews. But they expected
him to come from the “cloud” and in the way which had been
symbolically described by the Prophets. So the Jews, because
of their concepts, did not accept him as the Expected One.
He also thought differently than the beliefs of the Pharisees and
the scribes of the Jews. This created a barrier for the Jews
to follow him. The Jews were waiting for the Messiah to come
and purify their religion. When he came and tried to break
those misconceptions and purify it, they started to resist him.
That is always a great obstacle when any new teaching comes to
humanity. The concepts of previous religious leaders
become a barrier to accepting the new teachings.
The reasons for the difference in the teachings of the Prophets
are twofold, for the same reasons: (1) because the mission of each
Prophet is different, and (2) because the consciousness of the human
is in a higher level at the time of the new teacher than when the
previous Prophet came. That is why Christ said, “You do not
put new wine into the old skin.” Also if the Messiah comes and
teaches what the people already know,
then what is the need for
his coming?
