@The Anointed,
Continued from previous post.
The dying words of Benjamin to his children while in Egypt; “Now I know, from the words of the righteous Enoch, that there will be also evil-doings among you: for you will commit fornication with the fornication of Sodom, and shall perish all save a few, and will multiply inordinate lusts with women; and the kingdom of the Lord shall not be among you, for immediately He will take it away. (This happened when the tribes of Israel went to war against the inhabitants of the land of Benjamin and killed every man woman and child of the tribe of Benjamin in that territory apart from 600 fighting men who had taken refuge at the rock of Rimmon, see Judges 20: 47-48.)
Nevertheless the temple of God shall be built in your portion, and shall be glorious among you, and the twelve tribes shall be gathered together there, and all the Gentiles, until the Most High shall send forth His salvation in the visitation of His only-begotten one. And He shall descend and enter into the first temple, (
The body of Jesus) and there shall the Lord be treated with outrage, and He shall be lifted up upon a tree. And the veil of the temple shall be rent, and the Spirit of God shall descend upon the Gentiles as fire poured forth. And He shall arise from the grave, and shall ascend from earth into heaven: and I know how lowly He shall be upon the earth, and how glorious in the heaven. . . . . THE TESTAMENT OF BENJAMIN 9.
It was not Jesus who laid down his life, but Enoch who cannot actually die.
On the cross, Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me," as he gave up the spirit with which he had been filled and the indwelling spiritual Enoch, who can never die, then ceased to be an individual entity, and the graves of the righteous spirits of who he was their compilation, and by whom he had evolved, up until the birth of Jesus his earthly duplication, were opened, and three days later, they [
The body of Christ the anointed one] came out of their graves and entered the city of Jerusalem, where they revealed themselves as the risen body of Christ.
Matthew 27: 52, And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that slept arose. Verse 53, And three days later [On the day of the resurrection,] came out of the graves and went into the Holy city and appeared to many.
One would expect the risen body of (
The anointed one) to appear to the family of Jesus first, and this is exactly what we see.
The first to see one of they, who were of the body of the risen Christ, the 365 day old unblemished Lamb, the sacrificial offering prepared for us by God, were his Mother, Mary the wife of Cleophas and her [sister-in-law] Mary Magdalene, who, although looking straight at him, thought that he was the gardener, until he spoke her name.
Luke 24: 13-35; The next, to who one of the risen body of Christ appeared, were the carpenter ‘Cleophas’ who is also called Alphaeus the father of James the younger of Mary’s sons, and his nephew Simon/Simeon the cousin of Jesus, who was to inherit the Episcopal throne of the church of the circumcision after his half-brother, 'James the righteous,' was killed at the instigation of the same Sadducee sect that had Jesus, the full brother to James, killed.
Although Cleophas and Simon walked and talked with one of the risen body of Christ for some 11 kilometres to the small town of Emmaus, they did not recognise him for who he was, until Simon saw the manner in which he broke the bread. Cleophas and his companion, then returned to Jerusalem, where the disciples, which included Simon Peter and Simon the Patriot, the only two of the twelve disciples by the name Simon, were cowering in a darkened room.
Cleophas, then said to the disciples, who would have opened the door for him, "He has risen, he appeared to Simon," who was of course Simon the nephew of Cleophas and cousin to Jesus, and the one who succeeded ‘James the younger’ as the head of the church founded by their brother Jesus.
It was then that a figure appeared in that dimly lit room in the form that they recognised as Jesus.
Luke here, reveals that Jesus did not appear to his disciples, which included Simon Peter and Simon the patriot, until after Cleophas had said to them; “He has risen, he appeared to Sim on,” who was not Simon Peter or Simon the patriot, and yet 1 Corinthians 15:5; states that Jesus appeared to Cephas first, and then to the Twelve, which appears to contradict the scriptures that state the first males to who Christ had appeared, were Cleophas and his companion, Simeon.
Did Paul, get it wrong, or did Paul originally say that Jesus appeared to Simon first, and then to the Twelve, and later translators of Paul’s letters, were to misinterpret Paul’s “Simon” to mean Simon Peter, also called Cephas?
See John 21: 1 to 12; Then there were the seven disciples who were fishing on Lake Galilee having no success at all, when someone on the bank told them to throw their net on the right side of the boat in which they caught 153 fishes, later on while sitting down to eat with the person who had a fire prepared with fish on it and some bread, not one of the seven disciples of Jesus who had walked and talked with him, dared to ask who he was, but they understood that he was of the risen body of Christ. Even when he ascended up into heaven as a cloud, some of the 11 disciples doubted that it was he.
Jesus is the head to the risen body of '
CHRIST'.
