"Gospel," "Good News," and "Glad Tidings" are Mistranslations of the Greek Word Euaggelion, Which Meant the REWARD GIVEN TO THE MESSENGER Who Brought Certain Good News

Yes, I am ruffling your feathers to make you take a look, but it is true: the Greek word euaggelion (pronounced euangelion) is mistranslated as "gospel," "good news," and "glad tidings" throughout the New Testament. A euaggelion was not good news; it was not 'gospel'. Up until the time of Christ the Greek word euaggelion had meant the MESSENGER'S REWARD for bringing glad tidings. Euaggelion was "the REWARD, GIFT, or PRIZE given to the DELIVERER of glad tidings. It was the reward for bringing good news, NOT the message itself."

When people in a ruler's kingdom got his good news message, they celebrated and sacrificed offerings, giving a portion of them, the "euaggelion," to the one who had brought the good news. Jesus brought us in his life, death, and resurrection the message of God's love; we are to give Him the euaggelion, the reward. What reward is Jesus Christ to receive from us? LORDSHIP. Our self-lordship over our lives we have lived in rebellion and sin against him we lay down in humble submission to lordship by him. We surrender. We die of our own, self-directed lordship, and in forgiveness by him, we live resurrected to his lordship over us. THIS is return unto the Tree of Life in the Garden, which Life was and is living in submission to his Way. By this euaggelion, the giving of our lordship unto God, we have eternal life.

Repent and believe in the reward you give Jesus. Give Christ lordship over your life. It is his anyway. Surrender. Submit. He is Maryah (Aramaic for lord). He is the Milta (Miltha, Aramaic for the Manifestation of the essential connotation of God; i.e., he IS God.) Surrender and submit, humbly recognizing Him as YOUR lord, for He is the LORD over all heaven and earth.

"And to the Anointed One we may commit our blessings" (Daniel 9:24 Alexander). He has come! Bless Him! Reward Him! Our rewarding Him with lordship over us is power unto salvation. Our faith in the reward saves us. Making Him Lord of our lives puts Him inside us. We become His Kingdom--THIS we are to seek with our whole heart, to believe and to confess with our lips. We are to share this reward--the act of submission unto His lordship, with all the nations of the world. THEN the end may come.

We are not saved by believing a story; we are saved by believing to ACT, to REWARD the Messenger by surrendering, submitting, and making Him LORD over our lives. In Jesus' Name, believe!

A Good Video About The Holy Ghost

I watch way too videos. Many near-death-experience videos obviously are as phony as a three-dollar bill, composed simply as content for the industry. A few appear to be actual reports of actual experiences of people's deaths. This one (below) is either an actual experience or the teaching of a competent preacher utilizing the medium ("all is fair in &c"). It is worth listening to and giving serious consideration.

I Died & Jesus Revealed How The Holy Spirit Actually Works - Jesus NDE Shocking Testimony

John 19:30 "It is Adhered to" -- Jesus Recapitulated Our Sins, the Price of Our Redemption (Irenaeus was Right)

Jesus' recapitulation of man's sins is a Christian doctrine espoused by Irenaeus late in the second century (around 180 AD). To recapitulate is "to state again in brief." The idea is that Jesus as the Second Adam REPEATED the First Adam's life without the First Adam's failings. A life of complete reliance and faith in God (the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden) was adhered to. Jesus lived in complete and continuous submission to the Father, never trying to be independent, separate, or in control of "his" life. Google's Ai says, "'Not my will but thine be done, O Lord' is a profound prayer of submission, famously spoken by Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:42) before his crucifixion. It signifies prioritizing God’s divine plan over personal desires, embodying ultimate trust, obedience, and sacrifice. . . . Recapitulation (derived from the Latin recapitulatio, based on Ephesians 1:10, 'The supreme reign over the fulfillment of all the Ages, so that everything that is in heaven and on earth is renewed through Christ all over again') refers to Christ reliving and reversing every stage of human life—from infancy to old age—to restore humanity" (emphases mine).

Why is this important now? In 1976 I wrote a term paper on Irenaeus' doctrine of recapitulation. You can find that term paper here. I said there, "To establish His claim and win our freedom, Christ had to live a human life (fully so) retracing the history of man (footnote: "Summing up in Himself the whole human race from beginning to end"), specifically, Adam's. Only this time God's plan was perfectly adhered to." Adhered to. Well, in John 19:30 Jesus famously said in a loud voice, "It is finished," and then gave up the ghost; i.e., died. You have heard the preaching, the Greek word for finished is teleo ("it is finished" = tetelestai), and the implication is that the payment for all man's sins has been made in full. Not another cent, not another punishment is due. But the Aramaic text says, "It is adhered to." Jesus was saying, I have done what I was destined to accomplish: the recapitulation. He held out in faith to the giving up of his life--self-oblation--unto real life, being with the Father (see C. H. Dodd, 1953. The Interpretation of the Fourth Gospel. Cambridge University Press, paperback edition, page 442). Where man has gone wrong, Jesus consistently went right, and he won by this the reward (euaggelion) of becoming the Federal Head of man.

The Great Danger in Manifesting and the Law of Attraction

There is a great danger present in manifesting or practicing the Law of Attraction. The danger is in attributing the results--when it works--to oneself or some idol, and not recognizing nor attributing the response to God. In short, THERE AIN'T NO MAGIC. The universe does nor hear or fulfill your demands. Nothing is going to roll down the street to your magnetic vibrations. What happens is the invisible Consciousness of the Ineffable Being, "God," the pre-God Stuff, EVIDENCES HIMSELF BY RESPONDING TO YOUR BELIEF. "You imagined this. Here. See its manifestation? This is my proof of my being here, of my being alive, of my being aware of you, hearing you, and loving you with power. Now that you see sure evidence of me, come unto me and learn of me."

Miracles are God's "How do you do? I AM here, and I love you." When we hear Him, see Him, we are responsible and accountable to GO to Him, to surrender to Him, and to submit to Him. If we don't, well, rejecting the sovereign God in and with us won't end prettily. What we reject goes away, and that can be catastrophic at the end of our lives. For God, in all His gentle persuasion, is playing hardball. THIS STUFF IS REAL! Maybe not like we imagine it, but it is real nevertheless.

Have you ever looked at what sin is? Adam and Eve were told not to try to control their lives themselves. "Life" is God's control of our lives. Don't you be eating that! But Eve wanted to be in control, in charge, independent, directing her own life. When you manifest or practice the Law of Attraction, YOU DO IT YOURSELF, FOR YOURSELF. "I'll direct my own life, thank you."

Neville Goddard attributed his success in manifestation to proper appeal in GOD'S imagination and complete submission to His, i.e., GOD'S, getting it done. He knew this is GOD'S Life, and other than imagining what he wanted, he stayed out of it.

"They then went out, and preached every place, and Maryah helped them and began filling them with signs that they performed" (Mark 16:20 Alexander).

Who filled the Apostles with signs (miracles)? Maryah, God. It is Maryah who fills us with signs; we only perform them. HE is the power. Yes, He is in us, and yes, He is us, but He is the bigger half, and we aren't anything but what He makes us. Be a grateful whatever He makes you. Make your petition known, then give Maryah honor, reverence, respect, and love. And ATTRIBUTION!

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:22-23 KJV).

What is iniquity? Doing things just for yourself and yours. We are to be doing what God wants, working for Him. Our purpose for living is not to fulfill OUR purpose, but His. His purpose is manifesting Himself, His love through us, building the Milta. Yes, we can manifest, but FOR HIM. Think the best of others, for others. Think lovingly, pray for our government, manifest food for the hungry, health for the infirm, wealth for the poor. Preach, vibrate up a storm, and let God confirm the truth of what you say . . . for THEM.

We are to be CHANNELS of spiritual power (Frank C. Laubach).

The Meaning of Elohim

The ancient Aramaic name, according to Victor Alexander, was Al-lo-hiem: "Over the Flames." This (Over the Flames) was the same meaning as Ashur, the Creator God of the Ashurai in Nineveh (link is to pictograph of Ashur in Ashurit language). Elohim, Al-lo-hiem, Ashur--they all mean God. In the pictograph God is standing in the sun disc with, I suppose, his knowledge and his tools. Orderly rows of flames emanate from him. What are they? It struck me just now that Moses saw God as the burning bush which was not consumed--the Milta (Miltha)/ Manifestation of God as unnumbered trillions of Christs, the myriad "flames" of the One Milta, the Manifestation of the Ineffable Most High. "I am THAT One intent on becoming Him here with you."

Milta (Miltha) is all/continuous from inception of connotation to completion of its fulfilling manifesting act, from Aleph to Tav, manifesting the Beginning to Its End AS ONE THING

The Greek New Testament was LIVED in Aramaic, so the definition of John's Logos is "Miltha." Miltha is feminine gender like Eve, the Mother of All Living, which I believe is God's (the Ineffable's Consciousness') Imagination. God's imagination in us got warped. For transition into manifestation involves waking up as if from sleep in ignorance and having to learn what we are, were. We're all here to get it straightened out.

Get as Close to the Original Language and Ideas of the Scriptures as You Can

An e-mail I received:

I spent quite a bit of time reading your blog. You mentioned a Bible translation I’ve not heard of. I looked it up. Very expensive. And Aramaic? I’ve not heard of that. Beyond textus receptis?

My response:

The native language of Jesus Christ and his disciples was Aramaic. Aramaic was the language the Jews spoke during their captivity in Babylon. Aramaic was the language they all spoke when they returned to Israel and Judea. Both Hebrew and Aramaic evolved from the same proto language, Hebrew more west and south of Assyria, and Aramaic more to the east. Abraham was from this area. The so-called fertile crescent (from Euphrates and Tigris rivers to the Nile) was a busy trade route. For business sake, nearly everyone had a rudimentary understanding of necessary languages: Greek, Latin, Aramaic, and possibly Egyptian or Mesopotamian tongues in addition to their mother-tongue. Jesus' mother-tongue was Aramaic; his direct quotations in the New Testament are all Aramaic. The ancient Hebrew Biblical texts were his world-view. That is why I say when you look at your Bible, think of its title as being An Introduction To God. That's what it is from beginning to end.

Anyway, several years ago I learned that the original lived-language of the Bible was Aramaic, so I sought translations from the Aramaic. It turns out that several are actually English translations of Aramaic translations of Western Bibles. They carry the same Western perspectives and theological presumptions as our existing Church of the West versions. Then I found Victor Alexander. Victor is a native speaker of modern Aramaic and a devoted student of the ancient Aramaic language. I do not know what text of the Peshitta Victor used (he has retired from translating), but he translated from a Church of the East perspective, and there are very many differences between his translations and the Western Church's. Victor had a website, v-a.com, but couldn't cover the costs to maintain it. Then he had treatment for leukemia and was delirious for some time--as Satanic an attack as one can imagine. I managed to download most of Vic's translations while they were available on his website. Yes, he gave them away. I bought softcovers of his New Testament, Genesis, Exodus (these three I can't get past!), Isaiah, Jeremiah, the book with Daniel in it, Proverbs (only up to chapter 24), and Story of Jesus (which I highly recommend). I also got the hardcover copy of his New Testament (Amazon says it is available in hardcover, but I can't find it) and a copy of Old Testament Scriptures (which doesn't include Hosea, but I've already got that downloaded). Expensive? Yes, and they contain many little, insignificant typos (Vic is a one man effort), but I'd gladly pay many times over the total cost of all of them for any one of the insights I've gotten from them (today's: John 19:30, "It is adhered to"; i.e., the recapitulation [anacephalaeosis] is completed!!). AND BUYING THEM HELPS SUPPORT VICTOR AND LIV ALEXANDER. You can't have too many New Testaments, can you?

I also highly recommend Ethelbert Bullinger's Companion Bible (KJV), which is available online as free pdf's and economical in many used bookstores. It is by far the best study Bible I've ever found (apart from Victor's softcover of Genesis as taught by the Holy Ghost).

The Law is simply being like the Milta (Miltha), i.e., being like Jesus. That's what is going on in heaven.

Genesis 1:26: God Manifest as the Milta (Miltha) in Multitudes of Christs, as Multitudes of Persons, Saying to Them, "Let Us Make Man in Our Image"

Try not to hurt your head with this one. We think of Jesus Christ as a singular man. We might also thing of God as a great big singular primate of light who sits in a great big chair in heaven. But we also think of these two guys being everywhere at all times, and of their being conscious and in control of everything at all times. Christ has ascended and will return, and He is with us and within us alway. And what He is doing with and within us alway is MAKING HIMSELF. The Milta is making Itself PEOPLE, multitudes of persons. THIS is the image of God: One, in multitudes of people manifesting multitudes of Christ. Just ONE Christ who is everywhere. 

It is apparent that Jesus Christ is the appearance of a medium or field of power that is conscious and distinctly active AT A POINT. The think is, THERE ARE A LOT OF POINTS. He is in you, he is in me, he is in and acting upon everyone all of the time everywhere. And the universe if full of everywheres. I am saying that ALL THESE JESUSES ARE ONE. One Pre-God Stuff, one God, one Milta, one Jesus, one you, one me, and unnumbered trillions of people--each one a Jesus Christ. It is kind of fun imagining there being Christs everywhere, but the ontic reality is that God, the Ineffable's Consciousness, must be a universal field-like medium that acts like co-operative processes of individual packets of conscious energy. Everywhere, there are myriads of Divine Packets of Christ-light manifesting the Ineffable Most High, who is Over the Flames.

There is a word in Hebrew that means Over the Flames. Elohim. Elohim comes from the ancient Aramaic 'Al-lo-hiem', which means Over the Flames. Another Ashurit (Assyrian) word that means Over the Flames is Ashur. Ashur was originally written in pictographic form as a God-man standing in the sun disc over organized rows of flames. That pictograph, Ashur, meant 'God,' and THAT WAS ABRAHAM'S UNDERSTANDING OF GOD--there is a Consciousness over the Powers that manifest, and He controls everything. Faithfully. Abraham lived trusting this "Over the Flames." He was God's friend.
