-Matthew
17:1-4 seems to show that some are now with Christ in the Kingdom of
God?
Emmanuel's change, called
a transfiguration, was seen with Moses and Elijah by the disciples who
were with Christ. It took place on a."high
mountain apart":.Matthew
17:1-3;
Mark 9:2-8; Luke
9:28-36.
"The place of the transfiguration
was probably Mount Hermon and not Mount Tabor, as is commonly supposed."....Easton's
Bible Dictionary.
David
is not there (in the transfiguration) and neither
are many others.
The transfiguration occurred
before Emmanuel's death. Others have been taken away so as not to see death,
such as Enoch and Elijah.
Were they 'taken up there' and were with God before the time Emmanuel came
to be on the Earth? Yes! because.you
don't actually die.
The ancients Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob appear to be living, albeit
in a different realm
than humans:.Matthew
22:32.
The one
who
became Emmanuel was there with the Creator before Emmanuel's time on
Earth and also were the angels, but the others,
such as David, etc., what do we know about it?.2Timothy
1:9.
There have been many
illumined men and women
throughout history, here for a short time then back into the invisible
energy from which all the universe including us, is sustained.
The Infinite
One, the Divine
Power, is everywhere. There is not a place where this intelligent
energy we often refer
to as God
is not. And this God is always ready to help and heal, through the energy
of goodness that expresses through others, both through those here.(such
as.Grabovoi).and
those
having passed on.(such
as Bruno Gröning).
They are intelligent beings who can
be contacted if you ever need any kind of help. They are part of the
amazing family
of the Creator that individually have awakened
and been illumined,
that is, they are in what is known as the Christ family, an invisible family
of cohesiveness.
This God is not out and away
somewhere from us:.Hebrews
13:5.
Underneath the
atom of all things that are is the same energy. Different frequencies
provide different things, dirt, gold, fingernails, etc. The frequencies
depend upon the patterns for their formation; here is the intelligence
behind all things.
But, perhaps, the others
are all around us as the angels are:.Hebrews
13:2. They are separated from us because their existence is of different
frequencies or in a realm
mostly unknown to us as the extraterrestrials
are.
Emmanuel was the first one
to be born from the dead:.Colossians
1:18 "And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.".He
has the preeminence, but now there
are others who have followed in His footsteps and been resurrected.
We too can be where
He now abides:.John
15:4-7; John 7:39.
We are in the Father's realm
when we are in what is called the kingdom of
God:.Revelation
21:2-7; 1Corinthians 15:28;
Ephesians
1:23.
The transfiguration was a
vision of the truth of what is yet to occur to us, as is also to occur
for those disciples who were with Emmanuel back then and seeing the vision
of Moses and Elijah
in the Kingdom of God and Emmanuel transformed into pure full God energy
before their eyes and talking with them. This gave them great hope
and confidence:.Romans
4:17 ".....God, who quickens.(makes
alive).the
dead and calls those things which be not
as though they were."
-Why
did God the Father.(or
Emmanuel himself), allow such a severe
mocking and
scourging
upon him/himself?
-Mark
8:26 Why did Emmanuel not want those He healed to tell others?
It was
not His time then to heal everyone. He came
for other reasons, but because He was filled with compassion,
He
was often moved to heal those who came in close contact with him. His
purpose was to train His disciples, and of course, this needed both time
and circumstances, but His
popularity was such that He could spend all his time healing and never
have time for His influencing His disciples so they could carry on after
He would go back to heaven.
However,
when
Emmanuel was able to 'get away' for a short while.(and
it was difficult to
get to be alone),
He did not mind others talking about what great things He had done, but
wherever He went there was always such a crowd.
-Why do they portray Christ
as a child at Christmas? Christ was never a child.
People celebrate the birth
of Emmanuel
at this time, although most everyone knows that He was probably born in
the Fall season of the year, perhaps in October as some scholars think.
A child born of a virgin,
the virgin Mary, named Emmanuel, in whom was the spirit of the Eternal
One:.Hebrews
7:3,16. This was to become the Christ.
He began and will end all things:.Revelation
1:8; Ephesians 3:9; John
1:1-3. We too are eternal!
-If Emmanuel was already
perfect, why does it say in Hebrews
2:10 that God had to make Him perfect through sufferings?
Emmanuel was indeed perfect.
He came for the suffering of death and to taste death for everyman:.Hebrews
2:9.
He apparently had to experience
what it was like to suffer death as a human.(none
in
the
Creator's realm had ever experienced death before and because of what
He did, none would need
to experience death after him, so it was a giant step up in spiritualness
for all in the
family, but many, even of His disciples did experience death as they
didn't see the way clearly back then {1Corinthians
13:12} to give up beliefs in those negative things to which they had
become accustomed;
like today, many believe in death, even when God
is life), so that He would have
the experience to approach us with always a fully merciful and compassionate
heart:.Hebrews
4:15 "For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted like as we are,
yet without sin." Hebrews 10:10
"By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of
Emmanuel the Christ.once
for all."
The Father wanted Emmanuel.(never
having been physical:.Hebrews
2:14,16;
John 1:1-3, 14-17).to
go through what man goes through for this purpose of suffering and death:.Hebrews
2:17. He had not had the experience of death yet.
The Father did this so Emmanuel
could succour.(be
compassionate and help).us:.Hebrews
2:18. The Father did this so Emmanuel could become the captain of our
salvation, learning perfection in dealing with us:.Ephesians
2:10. Emmanuel's death was a part of His gaining knowledge of man's
life and death.
The 'perfect' Christ already
had righteousness:.2Corinthians
5:21. He already was in a relationship with the Creator-Father, His
and our Father:.John
17:5. The perfection attained was in
applying toward us the
righteousness He already possessed.
