What does it mean when he says he is the El of the living, when clearly Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had been dead for years?
Mat 22: v31. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by Yahweh, saying,
V32. I am the El of Abraham, and the El of Isaac, and the El of Jacob? Yahweh is not the El of the dead, but of the living.
What does our Creator mean when he talks about death being like sleeping?
Jhn 11: v11. These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
V12. Then said his disciples, Messiah, if he sleep, he shall do well.
V13. Howbeit our Creator spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
V14. Then said Messiah unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Lazarus back to life after 4 days!
What does he mean when our Creator says it's appointed for men to die once, so did Lazarus die twice? Can the scriptures contradict themselves? Yahweh forbid!
Heb 9: v27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Man’s body is formed from the dust of the ground and the breath of life.
Gen 2: v7. And Yahweh our Creator formed man [of] the dust of the ground (symbolic of the flesh body including the brain) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (pneuma=spiritual=mind); and man became a living soul.
James confirms that any body without the spirit is dead.
Jas 2: v26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. The spiritual assembly or body is also dead without the Holy Spirit!
When we die, our physical body returns to the earth or to dust and our mind or spirit returns to the Father.
Ecc 12: v7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto Yahweh who gave it.
Paul says there's a physical body and a spiritual body.
1Co 15: v40. [There are] also celestial (heavenly bodies like angels) bodies, and bodies terrestrial (earthly bodies like humans): but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.
1Co 15: v44. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body (human), and there is a spiritual body (angel).
Thus, using the above scriptures explains why he says Lazarus “sleeps”. Though he is physically dead, his spirit or mind is still alive, but is sleeping with the Father. This also explains why he says he's the El of the living. Even though Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob have been physically dead for many years, their mind or spirit is still alive with the Father with no thoughts, dreams, praise, or knowledge.
The Father is the source of all life and Holy Spirit which flows through our Creator to the seen and unseen world.
1Ti 6: v16. Who only hath immortality (Son YahwehShua) dwelling in the light (Yahweh the Father) which no man (or angels) can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.
So, we are only awake if our spirit or mind is placed into a physical body or a spiritual body at the will of the Father being carried out by the Son.
It's clear that a spiritual body is much more powerful than a physical body. Satan the adversary is in a spiritual body and was able to deceive a third of the angels to follow him as fallen angels, but he deceives all humans.
Rev 12: v3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
V4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars (stars are angels: Rev 1: v20. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.) of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Rev 12: v9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world (all humans): he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
So your mind is something in this human body that our Creator is working with at the direction of the Father. If you repent daily, are baptized in the singular name of the Father and Son (YahwehShua) and overcome the adversary (allows the growth in Messiah in you) you could be one of the 144 thousand Saints and receive a spiritual body when our Creator returns at the 7th Trump.
Mat 28: v19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name (singular name, not a title such as lord, g-d, JC are not in the original scriptures, names are transliterated to preserve the phonics or how a name sounds, Yahweh in Paleo Hebrew is the tetragrammaton which sounds like Yahweh in English. Yahweh was in the original scriptures nearly 7000 times!) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (most scholars feel the Holy Spirit was added and not in the original scriptures, the singular name YahwehShua contains the name of the Father=Yahweh and the Son=YahwehShua Shua=Savior):
Rev 3: v7. And to the angel of the church (one of the seven assemblies or small flocks around the world that are being perfected) in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
V8. I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name (YahwehShua).
V9. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
V10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour (24 hr/1000 yrs= 1 hr/ 42 yrs switch mo. for yr = 1hr /42 mo. Hour of testing=last 3 & 1/2 yrs prior to 7th Trump) of temptation (testing), which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
V11. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
V12. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my Father Yahweh, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my El Yahweh, and the name of the city of my El, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Father Yahweh: and [I will write upon him] my new name.
Gal 4: v19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until YahwehShua Messiah be formed in you.
1Th 4: v16. For YahwehShua himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the Trump (7th) of Yahweh: and the dead in YahwehShua Messiah shall rise first:
1Co 15: v52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last Trump (7th): for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
So how do we reconcile the scriptures regarding that it's appointed for all men to die once and then the judgment? Did Lazarus not die twice? Are the scriptures contradicting? Yahweh forbid!
What our Creator is saying is that until he is done shaping your mind in this physical body he doesn’t care if you’ve been dead 4 days like Lazarus or 4000 years. Or if he wants to extend the physical life of anyone for his own purposes! It's likely Moses and Elijah will have their physical life extended after thousands of years to be the two physical witnesses to finish the ministry of Messiah the last 3 and 1/2 years prior to the 7th Trump!
What? Are you crazy?
Rev 11: v3. And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days (3 & 1/2 yrs of 30 day months where the new moon was not seen likely from smoke from all the destruction), clothed in sackcloth (not pretty like our Creator {Isa 53: v2. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him}).
V4. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the El of the earth.
V5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
V6. These have power to shut heaven, that it not rain (sounds like Elijah {Jas 5: v17. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months}) not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood (sounds like Moses {Exo 7: v19. And Yahweh spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and [that] there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [vessels of] stone}), and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
V7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them (YahwehShua has appointed their final physical death!).
V8. And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Messiah was impaled (Jerusalem).
V9. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues (different languages) and nations (gentile nonbelivers all over the world will think the human false messiah calling himself the son of Yahweh is real) shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
V10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another (they will believe the human false Messiah who is beautiful and who will also be on the scene the 3 and 1/2 years, as well as prior to the 7th Trump. He will convince everyone that the 2 Witnesses are two demons causing the curses. Isa 66: v5. Hear the word of Yahweh, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let Yahweh be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.); because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
V11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from Yahweh the Father through YahwehShua entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
V12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven (spiritual bodies at the 7th Trump) in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
The final day of your physical death is not known by humans. It is appointed by your Creator YahwehShua. That's why the final day of your final physical death is better than your day at birth because he's done shaping your mind in this life!
Ecc 7: v1. A good name [is] better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.
Aaron and his Sons were symbolic of the future 144,000 Saints of the better Resurrection. The Levites are symbolic of the future Innumerable Multitude, another type of Saint that overcomes during the first hundred years of the last great day after the Millennial Sabbath. All humans who ever lived or were aborted who are not part of the 144k Saints will have their physical life extended into the Millennial Sabbath and learn from our Creator for a thousand years and then get their chance to be in the family if they can overcome the adversary when he's let out during the first hundred years of the Last Great Day.
No way you say! Sorry, not sorry!
Rev 20: v2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
V3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
V4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of YahwehShua Messiah, and for the word of Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast (creature = creation), neither his image (false idols), neither had received [his] mark (absence of 777) upon their foreheads (brain mind), or in their hands (doing their occupation any day of the week); and they lived and reigned with YahwehZidkenu Messiah a thousand years.
V5. But the rest of the (Spiritual) dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished (he just handed out 144k Spiritual bodies v4. No more spiritual bodies for over a thousand years is a true fact. It does not preclude however having anyone who didn't make it to the 7th Trump having their physical body and life extended during the millennium for the Millennial Sabbath. What a loving Creator! All creation has a chance to be in the family.) This [is] the first resurrection.
V6. Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of YahwehZidkenu Messiah, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
V7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
V8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea (ends badly again similar to Armageddon prior to the Millennial Sabbath.)
All creation not part of the better Resurrection will have their physical life extended into the Millennial Sabbath. This includes Hitler, murderers, aborted fetuses, and everyone who's paralyzed, or injured will be restored whole and get to know our Creator perfectly for a 1,000 years without any influence from the adversary.
You've lost it! A former prisoner I used to study with said when everybody says you're losing it that's when you're finding it!
HalleluYahwehShua!
