John 3:5 Remission of Sin and Imbuement of the Holy Ghost = Regeneration of Spirit BACK TO THE BEGINNING

The Greek word Logos and the Aramaic word Milta (Miltha) both mean "Word." The conceptual difference between Logos and Milta is that Logos pertains to explanation, whereas Milta pertains to explanation AND its manifestation. You start with the connotation of a thing, and wind up WITH IT.

Somewhere back in seminary I read that the last Greek word in John 1:18, exēgēsato (ἐξηγήσατο), when it has no specified object, must be translated "revealed" rather than "declared." The difference is stupendous. Jesus Christ REVEALED God, because He was (and IS) God.

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" (John 14:3 KJV). I do not believe this is about physical distance. "I will come and take you with Me" is about mental and spiritual ability and perception--"I will come and put you on MY level." I.e., I will reveal it. Note that the italicized 'there' in the verse is supplied; it isn't really in the text. It isn't so much "where" He is, but what He is.

In the baptism in the Holy Ghost, we are joined with Jesus before God on high. In and with Christ we are crucified, buried, forgiven, resurrected/raised from the dead, AND ASCENDED UNTO HEAVEN. It is all PRESENT. Being the Manifestation OF the Eternal, The Milta IS eternal. All is present to Him, including before His past and after His actualization. Everything IS to Him. Thus He says, "You ARE healed." For you are risen, and you are filled with the Holy Ghost. Be THERE.
