Biographical Note

SHIRMAN STOONE

Born on the 23rd of August in 1964 in Poland and lives in Poland. The author of the vision of biblical God (His spiritual construction – 26 Spirits). Some think that he has received „keys from heaven”. He was born to enlighten humanity before the approaching end of the world and to prepare people for the arrival of the expected Messiah. At the age of 27 — as he claims — he experienced „the dazzle of the mind” making the spiritual image of the biblical God to whom Christians, Jews and Muslims pray. Usually, he simply calls Him Love. After many years of learning Hebrew he discovers “holy codes”. Now, he is already certain that the vision from the past is “the divine plan”, and the important information for people. Therefore, the delivery of this knowledge becomes the purposes of his life – his mission.

chapter I

At the beginning...

Leave these people and release them! If this thought or the matter comes from people, it will break up, and if it really comes from God, you cannot destroy the them or it may turn out that you are is fighting God.

At the meeting of the Sanhedrin the idea simply seethed. These words expressing the prudence, and maybe the conviction, decidedly calmed hot heads of the aggregated. First of all the expression you are fighting God was effective. It was really that close for the furious council to take that day, the only proper and just, in their conviction, decision: to kill the apostates.

Gamaliel, a Pharisee expressed his opinion before the Jewish highest religious and judicial institution, namely the Sanhedrin, so bravely that he risked a lot. His authority was threatened. He put himself at risk. The matter was neither banal nor simple. The scandal with Jesus of Nazareth had not calmed down yet, and now His disciples were causing ferment and confusion in the minds of the Jerusalem community. However, subconsciously Gamaliel felt that he should intervene in their defense.

Whether this was a reflex, an impulse or some angelical prompt, he did not have any idea. He was unable to determine what or who ordered him to do that. He did not hesitate even for a moment. He said what he was supposed to say. Reportedly, he never regretted doing so.

The high priest Caiaphas for the last few days kept walking around the temple simply furious. No wonder, there was incessant problems with the Roman invader, and to add to that some disputes. Besides, endless sudden fights of fanatic zealots, next messiahs, instigators, restorers, envoys and messengers did not make his life easy. And there were these false prophets growing in the last months like mushrooms after the rain. To be honest, he was just exhaustively tired with this entire situation.

Caiaphas was aware that these continuous excesses and conflicts had threatened the safety of the priesthood, the religion, the temple, and first of all the existence of the nation of Israel. He was depressed by this. He feared that the worst would come.

Though he did not admit in his imagination that the sanctum could become a temple of Jupiter or Apollo, he had, however, some reasons to think so. Of course, he had not experienced the Babylonian captivity, but as a pundit he knew this story perfectly. What had happened five centuries earlier stamped a huge mark on the psyche of this nation. It had determined their future fate.

The resettlement for many years robbed and destroyed the temple. Could this script happen again? He tried to deceive his own mind, to reject such a vision. He knew, however, that if the Sanhedrin lost the control of the people, there would be mass-objections and rebellions or uprisings. This would lead to the end of Israel. The temple would disappear, and the people would be exiled from their own land. The threat was real. The Babylonian nightmare could again come true.

Rome did not know the word pity. Particularly in the subjected provinces, Rome punished the disobedient severely and properly. Practically each captivated country very quickly realized that any sign of the objection meant only one thing—death.

Not a single time did his high priest’s eyes have a good look at people dying in terrible pain on the crosses. And usually these were not occasional cases. The empire prevailing over the world took a liking for this kind of punishment.

Appointed by the will of God as a religious leader, Caiaphas felt responsible for God’s people. After all they were the chosen ones. He knew that he would not hesitate to defend the tradition and the faith of the fathers from anybody and anything. He thought that God himself had anointed him for this honorable office. At least those who knew him claimed that he just wanted to think so.

The truth was, however, pathetic and sad. Formally this was not the Sanhedrin to choose the high priest that time. In captivated Israel, the Roman occupying authority imposed a specific person to the High Council. And that was the so called proper cooperation.

Under such circumstances in the year 18 AD, the prosecutor from Italy Valerius Gratus appointed Caiaphas for this respectable office. Of course, nobody ever reproached him for that; however, healthy minds perfectly realized that the high priest had become unctuous first of all by the hands of paganism. And what about the God’s hands?

It may seem strange to some, but there was another important reason which could irritate the high priest. Caiaphas became suspicious that the Gamaliel’s fiery speech was no incarnated voice of the Creator, but the prank or rather a new intrigue of his father-in-law—Annas.

Old Annas, the previous high priest, also appointed by the will of Rome, still had huge influence in the Sanhedrin. He was less impetuous and more prudent. People respected him for this. Many of the council granted the old man exceptional sympathy, and maybe trusted him. He was said to be able to talk to people, to be human.

Unfortunately, his son-in-law—or if you prefer the husband of his beloved daughter—in this confrontation of the elects had decidedly come off badly.

Caiaphas remembered perfectly that he had not been the first to examine the Nazarene.

It was his father in law. Jesus came to Caiaphas much later. Reportedly this exhaustively enraged him. Some spoke that this tearing of his own robes during the trial of Jesus and this entire circus with the fanatic, though not a dangerous madman from Nazareth, was anything but the wish to show the Sanhedrin who was in charge there.

Israel having two high priests appointed by the will of Rome—that situation was outright absurd, comical, and at the same time distressing. It is interesting what Abraham, Jacob, or Moses would say about that, or unctuous with the Spirit of Yeahavah the high priests of the old, but still sacredly healthy Israel?

These twelve, who the world calls today apostles, were standing in the council chamber of the Sanhedrin with some concern, but also proudly. Their faces did not express fear. They believed in what they were doing. They trusted The One whose majesty they represented. After all they remembered perfectly that yesterday the high priest together with his supporters belonging to the party of Sadducees had ordered to throw them into the public prison. And what happened later? They never forgot that.

The last night...

“Jacob.”

“Speak, Peter.”

“What will become of us?”

“I have no idea. I think, however, that what God planned for us will happen. Anyway, I am afraid of nothing. Our Lord will surely help us.”

“Do you think about Jesus? Do you believe that He will save us?”

“I do believe.”

When Jacob looked at Peter, at once he remembered the way it had been his faith. Unfortunately, a generally known story with the cock crowing three times, seasoned with the denial of knowing the Messiah, stamped a terrible mark on the apostle. Now Peter also called Cephas was desperate. The defect on his conscience, though the Master had forgiven him this momentary weakness, did not leave the poor guy alone. And Peter had never come to terms with this.

Suddenly something flared up and resounded forcefully. All the apostles fell down on their knees. These twelve were exactly aware of what was going on. It was obvious—the God of Israel was again among his own chosen ones. It was easy to notice that the Father was just fulfilling the request of the Son. He was doing a favor to the child asking the Paternal Majesty for the help for his lambs.

As you guess, this was a readable sign for them that He, Jesus—the first—born to every creature, whom the immemorial Yeahavah had made the Master and the Messiah to us, to Earthlings, turned out worthy to hear His requests. So, it happened. For his faithfulness, the loyalty and the sacrifice he obtained this privilege from God.

The apostles did not think over the entity and the construction of God. At that time they did not even try to understand the Highest with their minds. Unfortunately, those were not modern times. In those days their force and power was Elohim—the unblemished Spirit of the Lord. The unblemished Spirit asked from God for them by Jesus was already acting for them with the entire power.

They had no idea that the thirteen Spirits of Elohim were clearing the way for their purpose. The purpose was the execution of the intention of the immemorial Omnipotent Yeahavah. The intention was the renewed bestowal of the man with immortality.

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control, Modesty, Mercy, Wisdom and Justice settled in the man once again spotless on earth. The apostles perfectly remembered the day of Pentecost. This noise from the sky as if the whole gale had rushed inside the house filling its interior. The mysterious tongues of fire and the general understanding of the speeches of different nations and tribes had convinced them and strengthened. All the healings and wonders accompanying them from that moment continuously confirmed in them the conviction that God was behind all of these things. They felt His power in themselves.

Today we already know that this was the time of the demonstration of the power and the force of God. Or maybe of God’s Spirit—Elohim?

One could write a lot about it. Let us leave, however, for a time being these considerations and let us return to what happened in the prison.

And here is what happened that night. No sooner had there been thunder and the flash than Angelus in one moment paralyzed with his light the prison-guards. He did not kill them. They only lost consciousness. Lying now in immobility, they looked like people sound asleep. Their surprised, joyful faces indicated that they were dreaming about nice things. The smile which settled on their faces was an incredible an intriguing phenomenon. What were they dreaming about? It is not known.

The apostles assumed a wait-and-see attitude. And we somehow do not find this surprising. Presumably every man possessing at least a bit of common sense would behave similarly.

Suddenly all the prison-staples, bolts and other protections were unblocked. The door and gates started to open without any interference. Afterwards, there was several minute long silence.

These twelve still did not open their eyes. They knew that they had to wait for the sign. Impudence or officiousness in the direct contact with the angel of Yeahavah could cost them a great deal. They preferred not to take a risk. They knew cases of the officiousness in such situations. They were still kneeling waiting for the development of the events.

The brightness began to come near in their direction. At last it stopped opposite them. And then they heard this unearthly voice:

“Go and preach in the temple all words of this life to people.”

Staying in a submissive attitude, they expected some additional instructions. However, that was all that the messenger had to say to them.

After a moment the light disappeared, which meant that the angel had left this not very nice place. Finally, the apostles could expose their faces and look around.

At once they noticed the guards lying at the open door. Having been freed in this wonderful way, they were going out watchfully. So they expected all the gates which they would go through to be opened. They were not disappointed. They went through them quickly. At each of them there was a body lying as if asleep. The inert silhouettes of the people guarding this uninteresting place did not move.

The apostles did not go at once to the temple, as the angel had ordered them. First, they moved to Barnaba, to rest and to eat. On the way, they decided to go to the temple at dawn. They sent, however, a messenger, to inform the Temple priests that they would teach there at daybreak.

“It’s time for us!” said Peter.

“Do we really have to go there?” Thomas asked.

“Thomas, we are not allowed to doubt the Lord. God would not forgive this. I have sent for our brothers. I think that they already know what happened in the prison. They will be waiting for us.”

“John, you are right. You have always sensed first His will. You were with Him to the end, when he was dying. Anyway, probably He loved you most out of us all. You understood Him,” Jacob threw in.

“Brothers, let us not discuss! You have heard what was said by the angel. We are going!” finished Peter brusquely.

They were quickly flitting through the narrow Jerusalem streets. After a moment they got to the area of the temple. The night was slowly finishing its service, and its inseparable alternate -the day had just come. It was approaching to expose a new era of history. History which is really only an exact schedule of events arranged and performed with the most careful accuracy and planned through to lead everybody and everything to the truth. And there was only one truth—Love is God.

Of course, like everybody, they also had many doubts. After all, to say that the situation was not normal was really not enough, it was rather abnormal. They were conscious that the performed things from the point of view of the mind were both impossible and irrational. However, the force which was pushing them, or saying this more gently—leading, was unimaginable.

It was not possible to hide that they enjoyed the power they had received. God’s Spirits Elohim that Yeahavah had promised to send to Jesus on the earth, already effectively were acting in them. Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control, Modesty, Mercy, Wisdom and Justice united for this unique moment to confirm the veracity and the mission of the Son of God. This strengthened and convinced them. They were sure what they were doing.

Walking with Nazarene across the lands of Galilee and Judea they admired Him. They saw with their own eyes healings, resurrections of the dead, the walk across the lake, and food multiplication.

All these miracles were unexplainable. They set the apostles into euphoria and rapture. They adored their Teacher. They were conscious that they were following somebody unusual. Now they could imitate Him. They had in themselves the same strength of the mind as their Master. This innocent man who was sentenced to death, crucified and resurrected by the Divine power, was the first man gifted by Yeahavah with immortality. The chosen one who could curb bad spirits and demons and throw them out of human bodies, He commanded them, and they executed His commands. They listened to Him.

From the moment they joined Nazarene, they tried to remember everything well enough. However, only now did they get the meaning from the earlier lessons taught by Him.

Well, as usual, the understanding of many matters comes over time. They remembered well the day when the Teacher asked them a fundamental question: And you, whom do you consider me to be? And only one, Peter, coped with this task. Why only him? Because God wanted so.

The others, when they heard that their Guide considered himself to be the Son of God and Messiah, looked rather surprised. Did they understand then what he was telling them? Did they at all wonder why they were following Him?

The apostles did not constitute just a group for their own sake. The church of which they were the pillars was developing promisingly. Converted people sold properties, and money was transferred to the common cash desk. Each received according to their needs. Everybody kept saying prayers and adoring God. Every day they would go to the temple. Meeting at people’s homes, they broke the bread the way they had been told by Jesus. They lived their lives in full joy filled with Love. Business profits, corruptions and frauds were out of the question.

Only once an unpleasant accident happened. A man named Ananias and his wife Saphira came up with a very bad idea. At the beginning they wanted to live in a church community. Then they sold all they had to transfer money to the Church. However, in their own unfaithfulness, they decided to deceive the apostles. They hid the vast part of the payment for the sold property and brought only the rest to the followers of Jesus.

This was a big mistake. The fraud turned out tragically. Peter at once denounced the fraud of Ananias. No sooner had he said:

“Not to me have you lied, but to God, than the first corpse appeared. The swindler fell down stone dead. After some time, his wife came and the situation happened again.”

If we wanted to summarize this with one sentence only, then one should state: The Last of the thirteen Elohim Spirits, the Spirit of justice, had just effectively gotten down to work.

The news about the penalty for the willingness of the deception of apostles spread rapidly. After this incident, nobody dared to lie in the community.

The first Church was ideal. It just could not be any different. The sending of Elohim was the first tangible evidence that everything was okay. The faithful, instructed by Jesus before His Assumption, did not leave Jerusalem. They prayed and patiently waited for the promise of Yeahavah—the promise of the sending of Elohim—God’s Spirit. They did exactly as they had been ordered by their Lord and Master.

And then came the day of Pentecost. The Holy Ghost came from heaven like a fresh gale. It came like a supervisor sent by God with an urgent order. It terrified, and at the same time fascinated.

Nobody had any idea what would happen in a moment. All the living creatures in a split second congealed in immobility. Only time could bring the right answer and solution. So, all they could do was to wait humbly looking only at this fascinating and incredible phenomenon.

The hedge of flames coming one after another slowly filled the room. After a moment the tongues as if from the fire separated. Then they circulated madly around the hall. At last they appeared separately over each of the apostles’ heads. And then came the silence.

The spectacle being experienced by the gathered people was incredible. This was the real marking and the unction.

The crowd gathered after the large movement around this place had been noticed. The gathered people, coming from different parts of the world, started to understand the words expressed by the apostles. They were talking and prophesying as if inspired. A real phenomenon was the fact that the people surrounding them could understand every word in their own native language.

There were many nationalities participating in this irrational spectacle: Parthians, Medes, Libyans, Elamites, Arabs, Romans, the inhabitants of Mesopotamia and the representatives of smaller or greater communities from the neighborhood of Holy Land.

The most perfect translator known by heaven and earth acted here. All the people who were inside that place were delighted, astounded, but also slightly concerned. It is not surprising they were concerned. They saw something unusual. They were expecting some kind of explanation. They wanted to understand the sense and the reason of what a moment ago they had experienced.

When all calmed down, Peter rose to speak. It was the first speech from the leader of these twelve chosen ones. He was speaking specifically. He did not feel fear. He explained to the people there what had happened a moment earlier. He gave the reason for that. He was telling about Jesus, about his mission, the crucifixion and His Resurrection.

Peter despite being a simple fisherman from that day began to teach as a sage. Nobody had any idea that the 12th Elohim Spirit—The spirit of Wisdom was signaling its presence. The Spirit for a house for itself. It lived in the mind and the heart of the man who owed to his Teacher a debt marked with the brand of despair.

The apostle was justifying all he was saying argumentatively. He quoted biblical writings, and words of the prophets. People were listening to him with attention. As a matter of fact, after what they had seen and heard, it is difficult to think they were not. They were beginning to believe.

Looking at this from the point of view of theology, Peter delivered an unusually important speech. He did not speak about himself, but in every word elevated Jesus. The story about His life, death and Resurrection was a novelty for some. However, nobody dared to oppose. Nobody interrupted him. Many had seen the Messiah work miracles. Besides, there was this sign from heaven—God’s Fire flying like a bird.

The tangible signs of the First-born unction by the only God Yeahavah were visible every day. From the moment of the baptism received from the hands of John the Baptist until Jesus’ death by crucifixion, He continuously astonished people. In general, He hid nothing. God, after all, healed and resurrected with His hands, and with His mouth taught. In Him only was the salvation.

For us, earthlings, he was the way, the truth and the life. Thanks to this, He submitted himself as the last sin-offering for our sins. We hope to avoid God’s Court. He became for us a chance for immortality.

Resurrected, Jesus became a guide for our hearts and souls. For what He accepted on Himself, the Highest made Him the earthly king and the adopted brother for us. Thanks to Him, the worshipers of God Yeahavah will be able to call themselves God’s sons, like their Master and the Guide Jesus Chris. He taught us prayer, and to begin our prayers with the words:

Our Father...

Then Peter quoted the prophet Joel:

“In the last days,” says Yeahavah. “I will pour out my Spirit on you and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will have visions, and old men dreams.”

Even on slaves and on female slaves

I will pour out in those days my Spirit and they will prophesy.

And I will make wonders above—in the sky,

and signs below—on earth.

Blood and fire, and whiffs of smoke,

the sun will turn into darkness,

and the moon into blood,

before the day of Yeahavah comes,

great and splendid.

Everyone who will call the name of Yeahavah

will be saved.

These words calmed down the gathered people, but also concerned them. They were explaining what happened, but did not herald peace on earth.

Peter with every word was growing stronger. His speech was simple and understandable for everyone. He was conscious that he was speaking mainly to Israelites. He scrupulously justified everything. He focused on the facts. Particularly on the proof of the family connection of Jesus with King David which meant a lot to many people gathered there. He knew about this.

As it is known, nobody likes contradictions and ambiguities. The apostle showed, based on writings, that the Messiah, whose arrival was expected sooner or later, had innocently been crucified. This was something they were not expecting. At last, quoting the words from Psalms in which David, the king of Israel, calls Christ his Master, showed the superiority of the person of Jesus over the conqueror of the Philistines the giant Goliath:

Yeahavah said to my Lord:

Sit down on the right,

till I put down Your enemies

With the footstool of Your feet.

After saying these words Peter added:

“Let the entire house of Israel know with the imperturbable certainty that this Jesus whom you crucified, Yeahavah made the Master, and the Messiah.”

It may be said that the situation is absurd if you we take the faith in God into consideration. Christ is not God? What heresies. Yet, nobody from the people gathered there thought about calling Jesus God—neither as a separate figure nor as a figure of the Trinity.

The virus which was supposed to creep into the structure of the Church did not exist yet. These times were to come. The deviation was lurking right behind the door. These twelve chosen by Jesus knew perfectly well that sooner or later bad times would come. The teacher very often told them about that, sometimes he warned them of that.

However, that day nobody intended to think about that at all. The enthusiasm and the delightedness of the people there triumphed. All of them seemed to be capable of moving mountains. This concerned particularly these over whom the fiery tongues rested. The sign which came from God authenticated the apostles in the eyes of the others. Now everybody saw that they had become unctuous. They had received irrefutable guarantees from heaven. They obtained the certainty and could act.

The disciples loved their Master. They knew well that for what they had done, they would achieve the honor of sitting with Yeahavah on the throne. They were conscious that it was Him who would lead the humanity to the final unification in Elohim. They believed that Jesus, thanks to God, would beat the rebelled entities under the leadership of Samael (Satan). However, the highest purpose was not the fight. The most important was to Love. Love as the way to the salvation was supposed to be preached to the world by them.

Only Love could unite mankind to the end of time with the only eternal being and immortal, with the Creator of Love, with God Yeahavah. For this reason the Son of God came into the world. Such was the intention, the purpose and the sense of the Messiah’s appearing on the planet Earth.

From that time apostles preached, as their Master had, the Kingdom of God. The kingdom in which people under the leadership of the king of earthlings Jesus Christ will become in Love subjected together with Him under the scepter of the king of kings—God Yeahavah.

They never called Jesus God. The Holy Ghost which they received as a gift would not permit such illogical nonsense, absurdity and heresy. They were conscious that the first-born Son of God had been born in time. And what is born in time cannot be immemorial, cannot be God. Because time has its beginning, and God is after all immemorial.

It is rather logical and simple. Notice that only Yeahavah does not have the beginning and the end, therefore we call Him God.

When Jesus declared that with the Father they were one, he did not mean that he was the same God as Yeahavah. The Messiah spoke about the unity in Elohim. He meant the 13 Spirits of God that he had received during the baptism in the River Jordan. He spoke about the unity with the Father in the Spirit. Because God named Yeahavah, as the Bible says, is Elohim. And Elohim is the spiritual construction of God: His 13 Spirits—Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control, Modesty, Mercy, Wisdom and Justice.

Only they allow the unification of all in all. And such is the ultimate objective.

The filiation and the unity with God can exist only in Elohim Spirits. Therefore, these who believed Christ, and were instructed by Him, prayed with the words: Our Father... Considering Yeahavah as Father and the only God, they called themselves His spiritual sons. This is what my Master Jesus of Nazareth taught.

The resurrected Jesus was for the apostles the Master, the Guide and the Messiah. And they preached that every day after the day they had been given the Holy Ghost. Each of them considered Him the king of Israel, the descendant of David and each of them taught that.

However, the difference between David and Christ was huge. Jesus, according to the promise given by Yeahavah to king David, by the Resurrection became the king to the end of time. This act made him the leader of all the earthlings. Such is the truth which Satan tries to hide from people. And many unconsciously help him in this.

Looking from the perspective of what has been recorded in the Bible, the prophecies came true. Yeahavah fulfilled the promise. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of the way. Yet, the fiery speech, miracles and the spectacle with the tongues of fire did their own thing.

Aggregated Jews clearly took to their hearts the word of the apostles because they began to ask questions:

“What are we supposed to do?”

“Be baptized in the name Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and accept the gift of Holy Ghost,” they were instructed by Peter.

The effect was unimaginable. That day three thousand souls converted. This was the first great success. Everybody adored God, and there was great joy.

The church kept developing and growing. Every day people would come and ask to be baptized. Many Israelites chose the new way to salvation.

It was more or less before nine o’clock. The apostles were entering the temple to pray. Exactly at the same moment a paralyzed man was being carried inside. The people carrying him put him at the temple gate called Beautiful. This was their habit for some years. The paralyzed guy every day in this place asked passers-by for alms. Simply he was begging there.

Suddenly he spoke in their direction:

“Help a poor man, take pity on the lame. Help the one in need.”

Peter and John looked first at each other, and then looked at the beggar. Then Peter said:

“I have neither silver nor gold, but I have what I am giving you. In the name of Jesus Nazarus, walk!”

And the miracle happened. This man immediately stood up. He shouted, gesticulated, thanked. He was glad like a child. This made people stop and assemble around him. After a moment a crowd had gathered.

The apostles quickly left this place. However, the healed man, not fully understanding what had happened, followed them. He kept following them around the temple. Where they were, he was there as well. People at once recognized that he was the beggar from under the Beautiful Gate, the cripple who every day stayed at the gate asking for handouts.

The news about the miracle spread rapidly. At some moment these who heard what had happened gathered in the gallery called Solomonic. This was the perfect opportunity for Peter, the opportunity to speak for the second time. Peter began to preach. He was speaking frankly and to the point. Between the lines he reproached his countrymen for their perversity and injustice:

“After all, it was not so long ago that you decided whom Pilate was to crucify. You chose freedom for the malefactor. Whilst, you ordered the just one to be crucified!”

The apostle kept roaring like thunder:

“You killed the life giver, and Yeahavah resurrected Him from the dead, which we testify. And it is just because of faith in the name of Jesus that the cripple you see here can walk.

I know that you were unaware of what you had done, both you and your superiors. Remember, however, that God told you through the prophets that His Messiah would suffer.”

Peter rebuked them, and simultaneously excused them. He could not proceed differently. He remembered what John had given him. Anyway, he did not forget about his absence during the crucifixion of Jesus. For the rest of his life he regretted that he had not stood on Golgotha. This shameful circumstance endlessly tormented his conscience. He knew perfectly the reason of his own absence which was unfortunately his cowardice. And that made his remorse even larger.

Fortunately, John, the beloved apostle of Master who witnessed the death of the Teacher, remembered His words: Forgive them Father because they do not know what they are doing.

The dying Son of God pardoned his torturers. This among other things was what Peter told the crowd.

Therefore, it is proper to suppose that this sudden change in the tone of his speech—from accusing to pardoning—was a consequence of the recollection of the Savior, dying on the cross.

And maybe this speech would have been a standard one if Peter had not begun to speak about something that was only supposed to happen. From the point of view of the recipient, he was preaching something completely simple and at the same time complicated. This speech given by Peter was difficult to understand for the people gathered there.

“Suffer and get converted so that your sins will be put to death, so that the days of separation from Yeahavah will come, so that the Messiah revealed to us will come, Jesus whom heaven must stop until the time of the renewal of all the things which had been foretold by the immemorial Yeahavah through his holy prophets. After all Moses said: The prophet just like me, Yeahavah will arouse to you, our God, from among your brothers. Listen to him in all that will be spoken to you. And everyone who will not listen to this prophet will be removed from my people.”

One thing was obvious. Everybody understood that one ought to get converted to be able to expect the return of the Messiah to the Earth. This was the condition. However, the second part of the statement was more complicated and not fully clear, particularly for non-Israelites.

From what was said by Peter one would be able to suppose that speaking about a risen prophet he meant Jesus. However, it was not so. When he expressed this sentence he knew that Moses, while speaking about the future messenger who is supposed to be aroused by Yeahavah, did not mean the Messiah. Why? This would have been too impertinent. Moses would have never dared to compare himself with the first—born Son of God. Under no circumstances would he have allowed an act of such incredible pride. The messenger of the Ten Commandments thought about the prophet of the renewal—Elias.

Expressing this sentence, the leader of these twelve wanted first of all to remind Israelites the prophecy from the Book of Malachi. There was a reason for that. He realized that every Jew had an encoded rule in himself—before the arrival of Messiah, first the prophet Elias must appear.

Herein, if Christ is supposed to return to the earth, then first somebody will have to appear who will be bestowed with spirituality like an Old Testament prophet.

What for, do you think? For what reason? Is there any bad thing supposed to happen? Could the effectiveness of the mission of Jesus Christ or His apostles be threatened? Will humanity again go astray? Will the Church be mastered by the satanic virus of a lie? Will the world sink again into deviation?

The apostle remembered exactly the scene when his Lord was transformed on a mountain. He appeared in the company of Elias and Moses. Like Jacob, John also experienced a momentary shock. He was speechless, mute, and afterwards wanted to put up tents for Jesus and the prophets. Peter did not forget that day.

Really only these two were equal to each other. One was the prophet of the beginning, whereas the other one was the prophet of the end. They knew that in a very near future Jesus would be their Master and King. They were born after all as earthlings.

They did not meet there socially. They talked about the present and future fate of the Church and humanity. They saw it in the incredible vision.

Frightened Peter, like his two comrades, did not have clearly any idea what Elias and Moses were talking about. And when they heard from the cloud the voice of God who said: This is my beloved Son, they were trembling with fear rather than thinking about anything. For the moment, their minds were paralyzed. After a moment, they took a dozen or more steps back. They did not want to hinder.

The Prophets were aware that the Messiah would suffer and die. He will die and rise from the dead after three days. He will resurrect. He will overcome death.

There on the mountain, Jesus revealed the future to Elias and Moses. It was not optimistic. The image appeared in which sons—Christians will be stirred with fathers—with the followers of Moses’s laws. They saw also persecutions of Mosaic Jews and the satanic virus which was embracing the Church.

With tears in their eyes, the prophets were looking helplessly how the deviation was degrading God and perverting the teachings of Jesus. They were saddened when they understood what was inevitably supposed to happen. Only the future was supposed to repair this, to reconcile fathers with sons and to renew the faith.

There was nothing new and strange in this. The Old Testament prophet Malachi had written about it earlier. Others also had prophesied. The conciliation was supposed to come only before the Day of the Lord—the day of Yeahavah. And this meant very distant times.

Elias, as Jesus said, was supposed to come in the future and to renew everything. What was he supposed to do? What was he supposed to repair?

The first and the most important task which was designated to the prophet was the restoration of the conscious worship of the only God—Yeahavah, the worship which practically did not exist anymore. The second, but not less important, was the conciliation of sons with fathers. The third task was the unification of earthlings in Jesus as the Messiah. As Peter put that skillfully: Jesus whom heaven must keep until the time of the renewal of all things.

Let us remember that Elias had already restored the faith in the true God. He had renewed the worship of Yeahavah. This was supposed to happen again. More or less two thousand years after the Assumption of Jesus, the spirit of the prophet was supposed to return. Incredible. Who from the people gathered there would believe in such a script? I think nobody.

Undoubtedly we happen to be living in incredible and unusual times. We have the year of 2014. Let us remember that last century was mad: two world wars with millions of victims—particularly civilians, terrible cruelties and mass murders on an unparalleled scale, the rapid development of science and technology, the man in cosmos, the television, the mobile phone, the Internet. And what ought to be emphasized—the deep knowledge of natural phenomena and dependences in the construction and functioning of the human body.

At last something happens according to Bible harbingers last days. Israel after many years of nonexistence is again a state. In 1948 it became again a nation, the community which has its land and holy Jerusalem.

Hebrew which died out is in a wonderful way renewed and restored. The shekel as legal tender currency returns like in the old times. Deserts become gardens. The words from the Holy Book are coming true. It is anything else but the open announcement of Messianic times.

Surely you wonder why the prophet Elias will have something to repair in the future. Is it going to be so bad with the faith in God and with the Church?

Peter and his comrades did not hear this conversation, which was very good. Anyway, it would be unreasonable to tell them about this. After all they were supposed to build the Church. If they had known which face would be adopted by the apostolic teaching, they might not have accepted this difficult task.

“Elias!”

“I am listening, Master.”

“You will have to restore reverence to our God in the future one more time.”

“Jeshua, my Master. I am ready. I already did this. Ask only Yeahavah to give me the force and to guard me. I will ask Him for this as well, but first of all for You, Master. I know that you will suffer, but you will overcome sin, and you will conquer death. Our only God Restores in You the immortality for us. You will finally lead us to victory and eternal life in God’s Kingdom of Love—Yeahavah.”

“Thank you, Elias, that you thought about me.”

“I suppose that these three down there do not have any idea what will happen during Paschal in Jerusalem.”

“Well, that is good they do not know what we do. Why to frighten them, Moses? If they knew that I would be crucified, and they would be persecuted in the future, then I do not know how they would take that. When what is supposed to happen happens, I will ask our God to send them his Holy Ghost. This will strengthen them and will confirm that God has chosen them.”

“Our Messiah, may Yeahavah do a good turn to You and give the strength in the suffering.”

“Look, Elias. Look, Moses. God shows us the fate of the Church. Look at that side.”

Images from the future appear

“Master, I see. You have resurrected. And now you are rising into heaven. You have won,” Moses speaks seeing the scene of the Assumption of Jesus.”

“Jeshua, Master. It is just impossible. People live in respect, peace, Love. It is not only Jews. I see other nations and people.”

“Splendid,” Elias adds.

“You mean these three below. There are others. They work miracles. People are joyful, happy. There is no violence. They share everything. What agreeability and harmony. They pray thanking God for all they get. I guess it worked, we made it,” Moses announces.

“Moses, Elias, this is only the beginning.”

After a moment

“My only God, they are going to stone him. He is praying. His name is Stephen. He forgives them. They killed him. My Master, they persecute Your disciples everywhere. What is this great city?”

“It is Rome, Elias.”

“They are murdering them. Oh Master, they are torturing them. Look! The lions are tearing them into pieces; they are dying in torments on burning crosses. And what is that? The Man put on the iron-armor, heated with fire. They are frying him. His body is swelling and breaking into pieces. What suffering! Why, my Master?”

“As you see, Elias, Satan is using torturers with entire power. Well, it happened once before. Do you remember Babylon and red-hot kilns into which they threw Israelites? The apostate wants to destroy my disciples, to break their faithfulness towards me and God.”

“Master, it is terrible.”

“What, Moses?”

“Romans are destroying Jerusalem. It is inhuman slaughter and massacre. Again they are driving us away from the Holy Land.”

“Elias, Moses, the nation of Israel will return to its motherland only after almost two thousand years. Before it happens, it will experience huge suffering and humiliation. At the end of these days Satan will humiliate the chosen people and will offend God. He will make the people obsessed by him murder the sons and the daughters of Israel and burn their bodies in big furnaces. They will become a burnt offering, the offering which Satan ironically will submit to God for his disobedience as the sign of his own catharsis. This will be called Holocaust.”

“It is absurd, Master. No, we cannot look at this. What strange clothes they are wearing. How terrible they look. What is this Auschwitz?”

“We do not have any influence on this. Moses. So, it has to take place.”

“See! There come the Times of Consciousness. The man is born who will receive your spirit and your power, Elias.”

“I can see this, Master. This man is writing something with such a strange box. This is not our writing. Though some sentences... Ooo! Some quotations are in our holy language. He is holding in his hand some books. You see this title? It is written Earthlings there.”

“My Master, What is the Internet?”

“I do not know this, Elias. I am not God.”

The image changes

“Master, what strange times and costumes. So, is this the way God’s renewed people are supposed to look? After all, Satan destroys and humiliates them. With their acts the pagans offend God: debauch, debauchery, murders, deviations, greed, falsehood, lies, violence. This view reminds me of Sodom, and not of God’s Church.”

“Moses, do not be outraged. You know well that even though you tried very much, Israelites by virtue of the observance of the law have not obtained, unfortunately, immortality so far. Their law did not liberate them. They did not manage, although they wanted to very much. Let us not forget that in Adam all people are His children.”

“Master, this is some new kind of priesthood. Sunday as the holy day? What is that all about? The Holy Sabbath (Saturday) is not the day devoted to God any longer?-Moses, you should know best how Satan can manipulate people. All the problems you had. Do you remember these 40 years of walking on the desert.”

“Jeshua, Master. They are proclaiming You to be God. Some Caesar or an emperor is controlling them. His name is Constantine. He is promising them something. They agree.”

“Elias, I know, it makes you very sad. Me, too.”

“It is terrible. They have sold themselves for silver coins just like Judas. Watch! They are building some strange temples. They established their own priesthood and separated from people. Some are living now in the splendor, others are starving.”

“And what is that? Now they are persecuting the ones who persecuted them. Is this supposed to be the Church? No, it is probably a bad dream. My Master, they are quarrelling among one another. They are divided. They are murdering each other.”

“Moses, so is that the way it is supposed to look. Wickedness must reveal its face fully. And everything that is alive in the worlds of worlds must see this so that nobody ever would blame God for not being patient, merciful and kind.”

“And who is that? Some meeting. Looks like the Sanhedrin. It is probably some new high priest?”

“Not, Elias, they established their own leader. How do they call him? The pope?”

“Master, what are they doing? They are kissing his hands. They call him Holy Father. What is that supposed to mean? It is the insult to God and to all that is holy.”

“And now what? They have crosses in hands and on cloaks. They kill and persecute people. Who will not kiss the cross is killed. My Master, where is Love, Joy, Peace, Justice?”

Suddenly the inscription appears—Mohammed

The entire three look into the cloud. They see the man who declares himself to be the prophet sent to arrange and order the faith in the only God. He calls him Allah. He says that he was visited by the Angel Gabriel sent by God. He preaches that neither Moses, nor disciples of the prophet of Jesus met requirements of the task. Now he, the descendant of Abraham coming from his son Ismael must stop the profanity and the moral corruption named Christianity. The inscription appears—ISLAM.

Within several seconds fragments of different wars are displayed. You can see the two camps fighting each other. There are crosses from one side, and half-moons from the other. You can hear shouting, groans, crying. There is blood everywhere, blood, a lot of blood.

The image changes again

And what is this Holy Office? What is this Inquisition? My Master, why are they torturing them? Why are people being burnt at the stake?

“They are not murdering them. This is being done by Satan who has settled in their bodies, Elias.”

“How long will they spill innocent blood, Master?”

“Do not worry, times will come when mankind is mature enough for the truth. Then Satan will lose control over him.”

“Look, a man is nailing something to the temple door. Martin Luther is his name,” Moses notices.

“So, the Church will begin slowly to change. People will begin to seek God. It is only the beginning. Many years will pass before the Church enters the path of proper renewal. Do not worry. Even in the worst times thanks to God the just will survive. That happened in the past, and that will happen in the future. When people because of Elias see the true face of God, they will not be able to say that they did not know Him. Then I will return to the earth for the ones who are intended to live. The second death will not have power over them.”

“Master, who are these people who are rising to the sky?”

“These are the ones who...”

In spite of the early hour, the traffic in the temple was already fair-sized. People slowly began to assemble around the apostles. The news about their wonderful release from the prison spread quickly. The disciples did not come there out of curiosity. They heeded the call. Subconsciously they felt that they should be together with them. Anyway, this was the rule—to support each other in difficult moments.

Other people seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger also began to approach. Peter looked at John and said:

“In the name of our Master Jesus Christ, speak of the glory of God.”

And then John for the first time expressed these words which the world was meant to hear at many other occasions as well: Beloved, let us love one another, because Love is from God, and everyone who loves, was born from God and knows God. Who does not love, does not know God, because God is Love. The Love of God appears in that he sent his only Son to the world so that we have life thanks to Him. Love is displayed in the fact that it is not us who have loved God, but it is God who has loved us and sent his Son as the sin-offering for our sins. Beloved, if God loved us so much, then we should love one another. Nobody has ever seen God. If we love one another, God lives in us and Love from Him in us is perfect. We know that we live in him, and He in us because he granted love to us from his Spirit. We also saw and we testify that the Father sent the Son as the Savior of the world. If somebody believes that Jesus is the Son of God; then, God lives in him, and he in God. We recognize and we believe in the Love which God has given to us. God is Love: who lasts in Love, lasts in God, and God lasts in him. By this Love achieves in us the fullness of the excellence so that we have a full trust for the day of judgement, because like He is, we are here below in this world. In Love there is no fear, but perfect Love removes fear because fear is associated with the punishment. The one who fears has not mastered Love.

In spite of the clarity and the simplicity, this speech was rather strange for people from out of the Church. By now they knew a different order of things. God from the temple in the area where they were staying had a completely different face. He required the absolute obedience and material gifts. This new one, proposed by John, though really the same, expected only spiritual offering. He desired Love because He was Love.

The sin-offering from the Son of God for sins of humanity, closing the era of all offerings, completed and finished the mystery of the choice which was supposed to take place in the gathered people. This was the key-argument for the listeners. The unification in one Spirit with God was really what they wished.

This offer was very attractive and logical. People had already had enough of the Roman occupation, their own poverty, unkindness of others and the lack of prospects. They received the gift which was hard not to accept. For this reason, many Israelites believed John. Anyway, the apostles did not need to authenticate themselves. The news about the miracles made by them spread in Jerusalem rapidly.

The first disciples in the temple very quickly accepted the newly converted. Within several minutes their world turned upside down—they were born again. The words brother, brother and sister, sister resounded all around.

There was, however, a big problem. The priesthood which was supposed to represent God, in this case His identity, rejected the offer. Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah and the God’s emissary was not accepted after all. As we remember, priests brought Jesus to trial before Pilate, and with the hands of Romans put him to death. The Master’s disciples did not belong to the group of people welcomed to the temple either. Several hours earlier they had been in prison. They had got there not because of the committed offences but because of the views which they were preaching. The situation, generally, was not too good.

It is hard not to notice that the Jerusalem temple except its majesty and sainthood had some deficit. The point is that over time it became a place of trade to some extent for animals, foods and everything that was suitable as an offering. The profits went to both the merchants and the priests. This was a gold mine at the time. Every day people submitted thousands of gifts and offerings. Endless pilgrimages of people visiting the Holy Place guaranteed employment and regular income for the priest and merchants.

It is really difficult to close prospering businesses because someone would claim that the era of the offerings had come to its end. And what about priests? How would they earn their living now? And merchants for whom the sales of offering animals and foods was the only source of their maintenance? Well and the following problem—Romans. The idea of mutual love and social equality in the world of business, connections and policy of violence did not have any chance to survive.

We cannot also forget one thing, the most essential one, namely, Yeahavah had his enemies. The fallen angel and his demons did not intend to permit the development of the Church. And if they permitted, that would be only because they wanted to live there. To introduce the virus of deviation and to take away the glory due to God—this was the satanic purpose.

It was easy to guess that this temporary Kingdom of Heaven on earth had no perspectives. Very quickly the idea of building the perfect community became the reason for unimaginable attacks. It was the number one object to be annihilated. It was the threat for the social and religious order existing in the land of Israel. When it was noticed that the Church was growing quickly, the persecutions started.

After the Gamaliel’s speech the discussion was going on for a long time. The members of the Sanhedrin did not want, however, the apostles to be the witnesses of their deliberations. Therefore, they decided to lead them out of the hall.

They were waiting outside. They were not allowed to talk to each other. What were they thinking about? It is hard to say.

“Let them in!” the order was given. The door opened. They entered one after another. There were guards walking from both sides. They looked like twelve rams led to the slaughter. They did not have an idea what would happen in a moment. But they had no fear.”

After a moment Caiaphas spoke.

“I warn you. If you do not stop preaching this rubbish, I will teach you a lesson. You will finish like this false teacher of yours. On behalf of the High Council, I forbid you to preach this nonsense and to deceive the people of Israel. This is my last warning. I promise you will die!” he exclaimed.

“However, so that none of you forget about this command, you will be whipped. Maybe then you will be more reasonable. Such is the decision of the council,” he added.

They took them out immediately. Afterwards, each of them was separately tied to a wooden column, and then flogged. The remaining eleven were forced to look at the suffering of the one being whipped. This was supposed to impress the remaining ones and simultaneously to remind them of the reason for their staying in this unpleasant place.

Anyway, one by one they entered the arena of suffering and humiliation. Peter was the last to be punished. They beat him decidedly harder. They did this intentionally, knowing that he was the leader of apostates. After the punishment, they were taken outside the temple. People looked, however, nothing was said. They were scared.

It may seem absurd, but the apostles were glad that they had become worthy of the suffering. They were persecuted for this Name, This Teacher. For the Man whose teaching led to the salvation of humanity.

Like their Master Jesus of Nazareth, they were entering the path of the oppression and persecutions for the truth. Under the whips they passed the first initiation, the absolute test of loyalty. They persevered.

They did not fear Caiaphas’ threats. They still preached the Good News about Jesus Christ. They did this both in the Temple, and in people’s houses. They were building the community of Love.
