John the Baptist baptizes Jesus
the Ministry of Jesus begins!
Christian religions celebrate the baptism of Jesus on either January 8 or January 13.
Honor Death by Celebrating the Life, not Mourning the Loss
Jesus demonstrated the path to eternal salvation with five actions, three had never been experienced by mankind. Life and Death are two actions familiar to us although our knowledge of the significance of these is little understood.
When you add the other three, Transfiguration, Resurrection, and Ascension, the whole concept of each one alone defies our maximum mental capabilities to grasp. At that point we are stuck somewhere between Steven Spielberg and Walt Disney, like a fuzzy fantasy.
All three are far beyond our understanding of life, and so many other things beyond life as we know it. You must get beyond the limits of your mind. This world is no longer a playground, this is a spiritual war zone. The long-rumored battle between Michael with his legions of Angels versus the Fallen Angels, good versus evil, was true, and the battleground has now spilled into our world, Creation.
We don’t even see it.
But this is just a backdrop for the Main Event, your awakening.
It can and must come, to each and every one of you, if you are prepared to pay the price.
What I am about to disclose to you could change you, or reinforce what you might have thought. At a minimum, I hope it will lead to triggering your imagination and stimulating your creativity.
IMAGINATION
CREATIVITY
These are two of the most important gifts you were given by the Creator. Or perhaps it will stimulate you to seek out the truth. Deep down inside you harbor a fear that you are not fulfilling your mission in life. Your intuition is probably right.
Your physical body is perhaps the most complex, miraculous, and magnificent creation of the Father. When I say your body, I mean in a living state, after the Soul has fused with the fetus at the moment of birth, and the result defies physics, all of science, logic, or any other form of comprehension.
No matter what you think about yourself, Father Creator loves you so much because you are his Creation, that he gave you life. Your life is just the first step in your journey, for you must then find answers to the most unlikely of questions.
Not only did he create you to function in our world, he then gave you a path to return to the Kingdom, then to the Eternal State of Oneness of the Creator in Eternity. And then, about thirteen billion years after he created your world, he sent you his Son Jesus.
When Jesus first came to Earth during the Roman Empire his visit certainly did not get the press attention it deserved. But then, it took a long time for the news of events in Jerusalem to circulate around the world by camel and messenger pigeon.
His first mission was not just to die for your sins, it was meant to serve as a wake-up call.
- To help you know who you are and where you came from.
- To give you a living, breathing Son of God who looked and lived just like you.
- To use his powers through the Creator to work miracles and get your attention.
- To demonstrate through Transfiguration that God’s Grace in Heaven awaits those who awaken to the light on Earth.
- To demonstrate that sacrifices must be made to bask in the brilliant white light of the Kingdom of Heaven, or the golden glow of Eternity beyond.
All of these things, in order for the Holy Spirit to awaken you to the mysteries of creation and the magic of beyond. So, Jesus came to experience Birth, Transfiguration, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension to show you how it is done.
Our knowledge and experience are centered around Birth and Death, the natural cycle of life. Our misunderstanding of the significance of death has led to a backlash of negative thinking, thus increasing the density or frequency of our own bodies and stalling the progress of our spiritual evolution back to the Creator.
Nothing can trigger an emotional response on Earth like Death. To understand the meaning of Death we need to unravel the mysteries of life, our life, in the Earth state.
We have discussed the structure of the spiritual world outside. There are three key components we have identified, Eternity, the Kingdom (of Heaven), and Creation, the world in which we take physical form.
Based on a preponderance of information that has come to us through ancient scripture, inspired thinking, the teaching of Jesus, and new revelations of long-hidden truth we have been exposed to some of the truth. All things on Earth and the rest of Creation agree that one of the most important cycles we experience is the circle of life. Yet for all its importance there is very little we truly understand about it.
The Father created all that is in order for us to experience the human condition, the physical body. It is our most important test of faith and of our ability to seek salvation by following the path as shown by Jesus.
I think we might all agree on this premise and goal. Yet in our everyday life on Earth, we tend to ignore the most important teaching and example set by the Son of God. Of course, you may disagree with me about the importance, but look at the evidence. You praise the power of the Father and pray to his Son to show you the light, all the while denying the most important components of the path Jesus showed us.
Being born and dying are but two of the five actions Jesus taught us, and generally we accept them. Still we ignore the core of his teaching that all five steps are necessary for our spiritual awakening and fulfillment of the most important aspect of our mission, reuniting with Father Creator.
In our life on Earth we must achieve Transfiguration, embrace the State of Grace it represents, and know that such a state can only be temporarily experienced in our life, as it cannot be a permanent condition until we die. In somewhat scientific terms since Earthlings have a tendency of wanting to feel, see, and experience something before accepting it as truth, we create our own barriers to keep from experiencing the state of Transfiguration, the state of living in the Grace of God.
When Jesus transfigured for apostles Peter, James, and John, an event he neither planned nor expected, he was in a deep state of prayer. Suddenly his body burst into a blinding radiating white light, he seemed almost transparent to them, and on each side of him appeared spiritual entities the apostles identified as Moses and Elijah. Both had been long dead at the time yet there they stood, in the clouds on either side of Jesus radiating the same blinding light.
Jesus was frustrated at the time with his apostles who continued to doubt and misunderstand his words and teaching, even as he was demonstrating his power with miracles. In spite of spending three years with the Son of God before his death, those closest to him continued to lack faith. Only the Magdalen, who we call Mary Magdalen, understood the meaning and purpose of his words and actions, and in time came to be known as the Apostle to the Apostles.
It was Magdalen alone among all others who heard and understood the words of Jesus and who spent the rest of her life trying to make certain those words were not misinterpreted. She had a faith in Jesus and a love for Jesus that transcended their human condition and limitations.
Throughout his entire ministry she stood beside him, from the Baptism with John the Baptist to his Crucifixion and death on the Cross, where only Magdalen, of all the apostles and disciples, stood with his Mother Mary to mourn their beloved’s death.
She helped bring his body down and move it to the tomb where she anointed it with sacred oils. When the tomb was closed, she checked periodically in anticipation of his Resurrection, was first to discover the tomb was empty, first to discover the arisen Lord, then sent by Jesus to tell the Apostles of his Resurrection. Finally, she was at his Ascension when the followers received the Holy Spirit and Jesus, accompanied again by Moses and Elijah, ascended into the Kingdom of Heaven.
His Resurrection was the second time Jesus had Transfigured, into the State of God’s Grace, having previously experienced it with Peter, James, and John. This time it was permanent. So, in his human state he experienced Birth, Transfiguration into a state of Grace, and his final act of being crucified and Death. At the moment of his Death the world was made aware that he had fulfilled the ancient prophecy by dying, and would soon return.
In fact, let me review what happened at the moment of his Death on the Cross by quoting from an earlier description of events in an article written Good Friday of 2017.
---------------------------------------
Colton’s Point Times – Conversations with Melchizedek – April 6, 2017
Friday
[On Good Friday were there Angels with Jesus?]
Yes, Michael and Gabriel.
[How about when He was carrying the Cross?]
They turned away.
[So, He was on His own.]
They turned away their faces from the greatness of that ultimate human experience, his being crucified for bearing the truth. And the turning away was so as not to be contaminated by the loneness, the low vibration of that ultimate human condition. The carnage and the ugliness of the humanness. The ugliness to which, we would bring ourselves down, descend.
[Is it true the Roman stabbed the sword into Jesus to make sure he would die before the Sabbath began?]
Yes, that was the motive, that was the intention. It was also in the mind of the one who ordered this, the Roman Centurion.
Longinus was the soldier who actually pierced Jesus. He really was trying to help the Savior pass. He got the message, oh he got the message. He knew who Jesus was. He did not want to prolong this anymore. It also fulfilled a prophecy that Jesus would be dead before the Passover paving the way for the angels to arrive.
There would be no Jews on the streets concerned with the body missing or the burial. As a result, there would be a blank space in there where all of this other story would unfold. Without the Passover and everyone home and in after the sunset, this all would not have been possible. So, the Roman, the head of that guard who ordered it, was motivated by the Holy Spirit to create fulfillment of this prophecy.
Thus, at the precise moment of death on that fateful Friday, the earth, nature, the universe, and endless hordes of angels were able to awaken the world to the death of Jesus and the coming resurrection from the dead.
At the moment Jesus died, a massive earthquake tremor shook the entire earth. There was a complete great darkening of the sky. It was not just an eclipse, but an emission from a planet. It was some kind of an explosion or emission that slowly passed in front of the sun blocking the sunlight for the next twenty-four hours.
A celestial darkening overcame the earth. More like a cloud, more like a shadow, as clouds pulled together bringing a great darkening. It was almost like the clouds pulled together to mask a major explosion behind it. There was a great roar, a rumbling from that, which people would interpret as thunder.
[At the time of the death and resurrection was the whole world aware of what was going on, just the Middle East, or only the Israelis?]
The whole world felt the tremor and, the side where the Sun was, all of that area would have seen the darkening, whether it was on the horizon or not.
Those on the opposite side of the earth would have seen a shower of that explosion, a dense meteor shower with remnants striking the earth at different points. There was impact, impact all over the globe, yes, a shower of the stars and the sky, the sky lighting up in places because of that.
There was also a great essence of human foreboding, and all through the animal kingdom, the animal behavior just responded, indeed all through nature, marking that point. That the mission was fulfilled.
There was rejoicing, great rejoicing. Definitely, Angels sang.
[How many Angels came down during that period, between the death and Resurrection. I mean is there such a thing as the number of Angels, was it like an overwhelming amount? It seems people would stay off the streets for the next couple of days waiting to see what happened.]
A good question, can we number the Angels?
There were hordes, hordes of Angels. Banks upon banks, layers upon layers. Sweeping, sweeping and rolling, and ascending and descending. You know that concept of Seraphim, the Seraphim. Michael was within that whole ascending, descending, rolling, turning, of Angelic forces coming. He would appear and reappear.
---------------------------------
Once he was laid to rest in his tomb the stage was set for his last two acts on Earth, his Resurrection and Ascension.
How do we embrace the Death of a Loved One?
If we understand death is a necessary step to get to the Kingdom in Heaven, then we should turn our attention to focusing on celebrating the life lived and the progress made toward a reunion in Heaven. This is not a time for grieving, mourning the loss, feeling abandoned by those left behind.
It is a time to celebrate the life lived, not mourn the death. In death, you return to the Kingdom where your progress in your sacred covenant with God is assessed. You are following the path of Jesus “outside of time” with your body no longer necessary. You have returned to the Heavenly Soul of the Just, the Heart of the Creator in the Kingdom.
In order for your lifetimes on Earth to reach an end, you must embrace and experience the last two acts demonstrated by Jesus, the Resurrection from the Dead and the Ascension into the Kingdom.
Earlier, when you experienced the Transfiguration by being touched by the Holy Spirit, you were made aware of the final calling to the Father, the secrets to life everlasting. Your own Resurrection, demonstrated by Jesus, allows you to break free of the ties that bind you to everyday life on Earth. You have evolved to a higher frequency than the density of Earth.
In this state of Grace, you have the wisdom of Melchizedek, the power of Angels, and the example of Jesus at your disposal. It will be your new mission to help all others still left attached to Earth.
You see, in the eyes of the Creator, we all are One, the Oneness found in the heart of Father Creator. That same heart is the Soul for all mankind. Each of you is connected to the heart of the Creator by golden filament light beams.
All physical bodies have their own Soul on Earth, but all Souls come from the same single source, the One source, the heart of Father Creator. You achieve Resurrection when you follow the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the path of Jesus, Son of God.
You do not die in the physical world, only the vessel you occupy ceases to exist. Your soul and spirit, they live on in the Kingdom where form is energy, thought is energy, and perfect love is energy.
God the Creator does never give up on His creations. No matter how far astray you may drift, Jesus taught us the pathway to redemption and salvation. During the billions of years of our existence the Father also gave you multiple experiences on Earth to achieve the state of grace necessary to finally enter the Kingdom and return to Oneness with Father Creator.
You Resurrect when your Will reflects the Will of the Father, when you have achieved the state of grace of the Transfiguration needed to achieve your own ascension. When you finally know that the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are all always present within you.
Never again will you return to Earth in the physical form.
Some call it Judgement Day, the Grande Finale, your Ascension, when all Souls destined for Eternity Ascend, at the end of time, in unison, in Oneness, in the Grace of God, and the love of the Father.
And then there was the One.
