We will never see the Messiah Come
Unless we become a
Disciple of The Way
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches
thereof" (Matt 13:31-32 KJV). Thus,
the Kingdom is as the seed that the sower has sown in our hearts, and each of us
must become the "good ground" that permits the seed to
become a hundredfold more than what it was in its initial state.
Is there Two Messiahs predicted in the scriptures?
Or do we not understand the relationship between the two phases?
When will the Kingdom come upon the earth in the manner that carnal Jews and Christians predict? Yeshua taught that it will never come upon the earth in the manner that carnal men predict: "Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21 NKJ). How does one find the Kingdom? Through the imitation of Messiah/Christ. By outwardly living the life of the suffering Messiah, one becomes the reigning Messiah inwardly -- and only the consecrated reigning Messiah can pass through the veil of the inner Temple and enter the inner Kingdom. The historical Yeshua therefore fulfilled ALL of the Messianic prophesies in the scriptures by fulfilling the Law within himself (see The Law And TheWay), and living the life of the suffering Messiah outwardly, all those prophesies pertaining to the reigning Messiah came to pass within him as he became One with the Most High God. Thus, unless you become a Disciple of Messiah/Christ, and learn to understand what it means to pick up your own cross and follow in exact imitation of the pattern that Yeshua provided for those who follow in TheWay, then you can never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Doomsday Prophets
Who Guide The People In The Wrong Direction
In each generation that man has dwelled upon the face of the earth, there has arisen a class of pseudo-prophets who have been able to effectively employ this almost universal innate belief in the end of the world -- speak to the imagination of the people so as to stir their emotions to adhere to blind acceptance of counterfeit manmade doctrines -- and convey this false vision of imminent doom to the collective belief of the masses of people in a manner that serves the false prophet’s own personal monetary and political goals. As just one example: Pope Gregory I, who was supposed to be infallible, convinced the landowners throughout Europe that the end of times was so close, that if they did not at once hand over all their land to the church, they would be forever cast into the fires of hell when the great day arrived. The result was that the Papacy became the richest landowner in Europe.
In the time of Yeshua the Sadducees and Pharisees predicted the coming of the Messiah -- and when Yeshua did not commence to inaugurate the expected Kingdom, they condemned him as a false Messiah. Why? Because being carnal and of this world, they falsely believed the Messiah would come and kill all the opponents of the Jews -- and then rule the world with them as the chosen people. And with respect to this false vision of the Messiah, Yeshua's words are just as true today as when he spoke them to his disciples when he physically walked the earth: "And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, just as Elijah did? But He turned and rebuked them, and said, You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives but to save them" (Luke 9:54-56 NKJ). Thus, both the Jews and the Christians who look for a Messiah to come upon the earth and destroy the wicked, are merely a people who "...do not know what manner of spirit you are of."
Perhaps just as phenomenal is the fact that in continually ignoring the lessons of the past, the masses of people have subsequently fallen into the same trap in each and every succeeding age since the dawn of time itself. Generation upon generation of dooms-day prophets have successfully been able to induce the people to ignore the fact that each and every prediction that has been continually made by each and every subsequent generation of dooms-day prophets, has failed to come to pass.
Yet, the resolution to the problem is not a simple thing, and the non-believer has often fallen into a greater error that those who he has opposed. Just because the predictions of these dooms-day prophets have in every generation failed to manifest with respect to the immanency of the end times, that does not mean that the symbolism and spiritual meaning of what is portrayed throughout the scriptures as Armageddon is wrong. Those who believe that Yeshua and the Hebrew prophets possessed an enlightened wisdom, and were able to see beyond the barrier of this three-dimensional realm, must recognize that the warning these visionaries conveyed to us was very real, and not to be taken lightly. In this respect, the problem this great dilemma presents to us is demonstrated when the pseudo-religious politicians in his day confronted the Lord on the issue of the resurrection, and his words are as true today as when they were first spoken: “Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures, or the power of God?” (Mark 12:24 NAS).
That
the most authentic visionaries of both the Hebrew and Gentile elements of the
church have long warned us that the scriptures are not a history book -- but
rather, spiritual events that come to pass in the life of the person in search
of Truth, well confirms Yeshua’s warning that those of a carnal mind are
incapable of understanding the true meaning of the Bible.
Thus, the early Church Father Origen writes: “It is sufficient
however, to represent in the style of a historic narrative what is intended to
convey a secret meaning in the garb of history, that those who have the capacity
may work out for themselves all that relates to the subject.”
And with regard to what would otherwise be historical symbols and events
that would appear to us as the knowledge of superficial episodes of the past,
Origen writes: “I believe that every man must hold these things for
images, under which the hidden sense lies concealed” (Origen - Huet.,
Prigeniana, 167 Franck, p. 142).
Students
of Hebrew Mysticism will perceive that what the third-century Christian Church
Father Origen wrote was no different than what is contained in the Zohar, where
it states: “The narratives of the doctrine are its cloak.
The simple look only on the garment, that is upon the narrative of the
doctrine; more they know not. The
instructed, however, see not merely the cloak, but what the cloak covers”.
These
great truths are again demonstrated in the words of Moses Maimonedes, one of the
most respected of Jewish theologians, historian, and Talmudist, where he writes
about the nature of scripture: “Every time that you find in our books a
tale the reality of which seems impossible, a story which is repugnant to both
reason and common sense, then be sure that the tale contains a profound allegory
veiling a deeply mysterious truth; and the greater the absurdity of the letter,
the deeper the wisdom of the spirit”. These same truths are again conveyed to us in the words
of the Church Historian Eusebius: “Many were led astray by reading the
allegorical contents of the scriptures literally in the method of the Pharisees
and Sadducees”. What
these symbols truly mean is perhaps best expressed by G.R.S. Mead in his celebrated work, Fragments of a
Faith Forgotten, where he explained that, once properly understood, the true
meaning of what is “…projected onto the screen…” of the
scriptures, “…was in reality a picture of their [man’s] own minds”. In view of
the fact that Yeshua himself taught that the Kingdom of God is within us (Luke
17:20-21), that the scriptures were in fact a blueprint of man’s own mind
begins to make a great deal of sense.
If the words of Yeshua are true, and the Kingdom of God is within us,
then the search for the Truth and Light must be accomplished through the
development and Spiritual Anointing of our own Minds.
What are the implications? To
have faith and remain spiritually stagnant embracing the culture of this world
will not even begin to fulfill the Gospel mandate to be Genuine followers of the
Lord.
Even
in our modern times one of the great truths that experts such as Carl Jung and
Joseph Campbell acknowledged is that the scriptures are written in a language
that utilizes what they called universal symbols which are employed to convey
deep spiritual truths to the mind of carnal man -- who in his natural state, is
plagued by the congenital limitation of only being able to use less than ten
percent of his potential of mind. That
the scriptures are filled with many terrible visions of man’s fate -- while
not true from the perspective of the dooms-day prophet -- is nonetheless very
real in the greater spiritual reality of mankind that Yeshua and the prophets
attempted to warn us of. Once
this is recognized, the meaning of Armageddon is something that should truly be
feared by those who ignore its implications, and celebrated by those who embrace
the spiritual reality it conveys. The
problem is that when we permit false religious authorities and quasi-priests to
interpret these sacred symbols from a carnal perspective, we are no longer free
to make either rational or informed decisions with respect to this great event
that none of us can escape!
Not to lessen the fact that in every instance where the preverbal events of what has come to be known as Armageddon has been portrayed in scripture as something to be feared, there is another element to the theological equation that is rarely ever mentioned or discussed. This can be demonstrated by simply examining how we translate Matthew 24:8, where the King James Bible states that Armageddon is the “…beginning of sorrows”; the New Living Translation states it is “…the beginning of the horrors to come”; with the correct and little used interpretation by those who stand on our street corners proclaiming that we should repent being found in the Revised Standard Version where it reads that “…all this is but the beginning of the birth-pangs”.
Perhaps
the answer to the problem was best put into perspective by that 60’s
philosopher Bob Dylan during that time of his life when he was a student of
Hebrew Mysticism, when he said: “He who’s not busy being born, is busy
dying”! The problem is that we continually listen to those who
know the least with respect to the Mysteries of God -- false shepherd’s who
are either monetarily or politically motivated -- and we ignore those who know
the facts based upon their own first-hand spiritual experiences.
Why? Because we close our
minds to our own higher reality, and cause ourselves to dwell in a cultural box
that inhibits our spiritual growth and development of mind.
For the most part we are afraid to think differently than others, and we
fear becoming disenfranchised from the temporal things of this world -- temporal
things which, due to the impermanence of both this world and the very physical
body in which we presently dwell, we will quickly lose regardless of our choices
in life.
While
the modern believer will immediately reject the idea that God would abandon
them, the answer to their dilemma is readily found in the Bible they claim to
champion. God does not
abandon the truly faithful believer who follows the Lord as the pattern in their
life, and manifests the biblical mandate to be in the world and not of it!
What believers fail to realize is the absolute necessity of this world in
the life and development of the biblical portrayal of the prodigal sons of the
One Father-God. The holy men
and women who composed our scriptures comprehended that when the Bible conveys
to us the great reality that “God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Gen
1:27 KJV), that God Himself possesses these same Male and Female polarities that
are manifest throughout all of Creation.
From the perception of the spiritual language that is employed in the
scriptures, in the same way that a fetus dwells in the womb of its mother until
it has reached the necessary stage of maturity where it can be born into this
world, the ancients understood that the three-dimensional world in which we
dwell is very much as the womb of Mother-Earth.
The
implications of this spiritual reality -- though absent from our comprehension
today -- are profound with respect to our understanding of life as we know it.
In the same way that the body of a fetus is formed from an embryonic
state, we are ourselves in the process of being born into the next level of
Creation, and our psyche must then be perceived in a similar seed-state of mind.
What this means is that we are only capable of utilizing less than ten
percent of our potential of mind because our physical-consciousness is embryonic
-- and in the same way that the physical body of a fetus must develop to be born
into the kingdom of man, our minds and conscious awareness must develop in order
to be born into the kingdom of our soul and spiritual natures.
The implications of this long ignored reality is that in many respects,
the Atheists are more correct than those who believe in life after death,
because those who fail to be born into the Kingdom while still alive in the
physical body, cannot accomplish what is required in an after-death state.
When
the Jews of a carnal mind asked Yeshua when the expected kingdom would come, to
their own demise he spoke of a great truth that has been continually ignored by
the dooms-day prophets and the people of the simple faith who were influenced by
the manmade doctrines of the Church of Rome. Yeshua said that the kingdom will never come upon the
earth in the manner that carnal men predict, because it is “inside of
you” (Lk 17:20-21). That
the disciples of the Lord experienced these “pangs of birth”
when they were themselves born into the kingdom, can be seen in the words of
Peter at Pentecost when he said: “Fellow
Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen
carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only
nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: ‘In the
last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and
daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will
dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit
in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will
be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and
glorious day of the Lord’”
(Acts 2:14-21 NIV).
In
the comprehension of this eminent truth pertaining to the absolute necessity of
our striving to be born a second time, we can begin to perceive the great
difference between the teachings of The Way, and the doctrines and dogma of the
Roman Church which we unknowingly continue to cling to in our present time.
The Bible warns us that we will know the false prophets -- and detect
what is spurious -- by judging the tree by the fruit it bears.
It is easy to observe that the Emperor Constantine was not a great
spiritual leader who desired to lead his fellow man along the narrow path of The
Way, and into the birth of his soul and spiritual natures.
Constantine was a man who desired to rule over his fellow man -- and in
the symbolism of the teachings of the New Covenant, he saw a means to accomplish
his goal.
Because
we exist in an embryonic and incomplete state, the purpose of the teachings of
The Way is to first awaken a person to their soul and spiritual natures, and
then develop their true essence and maturity so as to enable the person to be
born into the Kingdom. Throughout the scriptures it is continually suggested
that carnal man dwells in a kind of stupor -- hypnotized by the forms and
sensual realities of this world. Some
places in the Bible represent this condition as sleeping, others as death --
i.e., “Another disciple said to him, Lord, first let me go and bury my
father. But Jesus told him, Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead”
(Matt 8:21-22 NIV).
Throughout
his Epistles the Apostle Paul writes that the carnal mind is dead to man’s
spiritual reality. In this
respect, we can see the concept of waking up from this stupor, sleep, or death,
in the words: “But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment” (Matt
12:36 KJV). It must be
understood that to be consciously aware of “every idle word”
requires one to be in total control of their mind.
That this total control of one’s words begins with a total control of
one’s mind, can be seen in the commandment of the Apostle to “…take
captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Cor 10:5 NIV).
James, Yeshua’s brother, the first leader of the New Covenant Church
who was known as a true holy man, wrote that in order to fulfill the vision of
the Gospel, one had to “…bridle the whole body” (James 3:2
KJV). The Apostle Paul
confirmed these words when he wrote of the necessity to “…beat my body
and make it my slave...” (1 Cor 9:27 NIV).
And commanded the followers of Yeshua to “Put to death,
therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature” (Col 3:5 NIV).
The problem is that these biblical commandments have absolutely nothing
in common with the doctrine of faith that was developed by Martin Luther in the
Middle-ages.
These
biblical verses are rarely used today because they represent concepts that would
be considered extreme and fanatical from the perspective of both believers and
non-believers in our modern-day culture.
In fact, everything in our present-day society has been engineered by
what the Apostle calls the god of this world, to inhibit the fulfilling of these
necessary ingredients in the process of the next stage of birth that the Bible
states is absolutely necessary if we are to enter into Life.
Thus,
we must pose the question: Are these requirements that are very clearly set down
in the scriptures really extreme and fanatical, as we believe today?
If it is true that our natural seed-mind is embryonic,
and if we do not succeed in being born we will fail to inherit the eternal life
that is promised in the scriptures, then there is a whole other dimension to the
controversy that few believers or non-believers today have even begun to
contemplate. If our failure
to develop our seed-mind to where it is able to be born into the Kingdom is
synonymous with a fetus that physically fails to develop, then our fate will be
similar to that of an embryo that has miscarried -- and from the perspective of
our absolute need to be born in order to enter into Life, then the warnings with
respect to Armageddon are neither extreme or fanatical!
Moreover, the above requirements where we are told to be conscious of
every word, and capture every thought to Messiah/Christ, and bring the natural
passions of the physical body under control, would then be understood as being
absolutely necessary to the development of mind in order to embrace the next
stage of development and eventual birth in spirit.
Throughout the scriptures there is a constant assertion that we must enter through a door -- but what is the meaning? "Then one said to Him, Lord, are there few who are saved? And He said to them, Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open for us,' and He will answer and say to you, 'I do not know you, where you are from,' then you will begin to say, 'We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.' But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity'" (Luke 13:23-27 NKJ). What both the majority of Jews and Christians fail to realize, is that the door is shut when we physically die -- and it must be opened and entered while we are still alive in the physical body.
One
only has to open the pages of the Bible to see that the whole of the New
Testament teachings is concerned with ethics, morality, and the manner in which
each of us treats our brothers and sisters.
The 
requirement is
that we must be perfect, as our Heavenly Father is perfect (Mt 5:48).
This state of perfection is referred to as the fulfillment of the Royal
Law of God, and is measured in our forgiveness, acceptance and love of our
fellow man. From a New
Covenant perspective, whatever is divisive, and not in accord with the Royal
Law, is of this world, and is an obstacle to our birth into the Kingdom.
It is from this perspective that the requirement in the Book of the
Revelation is set before us in the words: “Nothing
impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or
deceitful”
(Rev 21:27 NIV). This same
truth was expressed by Isaiah where it is written: “And a highway will
be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on
it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on
it” (Isa 35:8 NIV). And
this same truth is expressed in the words of Yeshua when he warned: “Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the
road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matt 7:13-14 NIV). The “narrow gate” that Yeshua speaks
that we must open in order for us to be born into the Kingdom, has its parallels
in the birth canal that serves as the gate that each of us has emerged through
when we physically entered into this present world.
That the next stage of birth has its similarities, is merely the result
that all realities are designed in accordance with the same Divine Pattern of
Creation.
What is truly
important for us to see in these solemn words spoken by the Lord, is that only
those who “enter through the narrow gate” will enter into Life
-- i.e., it is not those who believe, but those who follow in the footsteps who
are the Genuine disciples of Messiah/Christ.
The people who embrace the culture and thinking of this world, even when
they call themselves Jews and Christian, are those who walk the “broad…
road that leads to destruction”.
What Yeshua warns us is that we cannot walk two paths -- it is either the
one or the other -- and philosophical Jews and Christians will neither go to
Heaven, to Glory, or inherit eternal life -- without entering through the narrow
gate that is the entrance to the Kingdom.
Moreover, if this is not accomplished while we are alive in the physical
body in which we presently dwell, then we will have failed.
The
Bible continually warns us that the path or the second birth and entrance into
the Kingdom is not easy. The
strife of the inner war within ourselves as embodied in the symbols of
Armageddon is seen in the words: “We must through many tribulations
enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22 NKJ).
Thus, in the same way that a woman travails in labor to bring a child
into this world, we must ourselves endure the “…many tribulations”
of spiritual labor to be born into the Kingdom of God.
Since the Kingdom is within us, and Armageddon is therefore not an
historical event -- but more factually, a spiritual event in the life of the
disciple in search of Truth -- we must then totally re-evaluate everything we
think we know about both the Gospel Message, and the life we are presently
living. In
fully comprehending these biblical statements in relation to the whole purpose
of the teachings of The Way, let us again examine the definitive statement which
conveys to us the very essence of the Gospel -- and especially the Revelation of
John: “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the
right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But
outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters,
and whoever loves and practices a lie” (Rev 22:14-15 NKJ).
If
the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly
believed by the majority of Christians today, then why are those who remain
outside the city portrayed as “dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral
and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie”?
Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described
as the ”pangs of birth”, as he endeavors to overcome his own
lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh,
in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life,
transcend the natural barriers of this world, and “enter through the
gates into the city”.
The
modern believer will of course oppose such a reality, saying that Yeshua came to
save those who are lost. Yet, it was the Lord himself who warned: “But
as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken
unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living” (Matt
22:31-32 KJV). Thus, those
who are worthy of the resurrection are those who follow in the footsteps of the
Lord along The Way. What this
means is that, where the fetus has the potential to be born into this physical
world, we have the potential to be born into what Yeshua called the Kingdom.
In
two important recent Christian archeological discoveries known as the
Oxyrhynchus Papyri and the Gospel of Thomas, we can see an essential teaching
that Constantine removed from the Bible which Yeshua conveyed to those who asked
him about the coming of the Kingdom: “When the Lord was asked by a
certain man, when should his kingdom come, he said unto him, when two shall be
one and the without as the within, and the male with the female, neither male
nor female”. That
this is an authentic saying of the Lord which was at one time in our scriptures
is affirmed by St. Clement, the disciple of Peter, in his The Second Epistle
of Clement where he writes: “Let us expect, therefore, hour by hour,
the kingdom of God in love and righteousness, since we know not the day of the
appearing of God. For the Lord Himself, being asked by one when His kingdom
would come, replied, 'When two shall be one, that which is without as that which
is within, and the male with the female, neither male nor female’”.
What these important teachings convey is the reality of an inner
Armageddon, and the spiritual birth of the disciple in the Kingdom within.
These
strange sounding words are so very crucial for the modern Jew and Christian to
understand, that no amount of words can possibly do them justice with respect to
their immense importance. What
I will demonstrate throughout this web site is the great fact that in these
words is the essence of what the Bible calls the Key of Knowledge.
What they convey to us is the Divine Pattern -- i.e., in the same way
that each of us came into being through the intermingling of the polar opposites
(male and female) of our physical parents, the disciple is born into the next
world by the merger of the paradoxical opposites within his own mind and being.
Thus, where in the expression of the sexes each of us already moves
within the forces of Creation throughout every aspect of our lives, now we only
have to learn to apply this knowledge to make the two one, the inner and the
outer the same, merge the feminine and masculine powers, and thereby open the
gate that Yeshua spoke of as existing within our own selves.
The
great truth that has been continually expressed by both Jewish and Christian
visionaries is that the knowledge
of the mysteries of God and the Divine Plan begins with the knowledge of
ourselves as the Prodigal Sons of our Heavenly Father.
It is for this reason that the second-century Church Father Clement of
Alexandria said that it is “…the
greatest of all lessons to know one's self.
For if one knows himself, he will know God; and knowing God, he will be
made like God… and that man becomes God, since God so wills”.
In his treaties on The Soul and the Resurrection, St Gregory
writes that “the Resurrection is no other thing than 'the
re-constitution of our nature in its original form’”, and states
that there will come a time “…when the complete whole of our race
shall have been perfected from the first man to the last”.
The
reason these great truths are no longer the focus of the modern church is best
captured in the words of A.
Powell Davies: “Biblical scholars”, he writes, ”were
not disturbed by what they found in the Dead Sea Scrolls because they had known
all along that the origin of Christianity was not what was commonly supposed to
have been” (quoted by Millar Burrows in More Light on the Dead Sea
Scrolls). What Davies was
referring to was the fact that the Church of Constantine so altered the focus of
the teachings of the New Covenant, that what we call Christianity today has its
doctrinal legacy of birth in the fourth century, and has little in common with
the religion that the Son of God revealed to man at the beginning of our Common
Era.
While it is true that the Church of the Roman Empire is gone, and what is today known as the Christian religion is no longer under direct government control, because certain key elements of Yeshua’s teachings have been obscured, and even removed from the common understanding of the body of believers, the church continues to cling to traditional beliefs, dogma and understandings that are very incomplete -- and thus, make it extremely difficult for the modern Christian to embrace the fullness of the Word of God. If we were truly the disciples of Messiah/Christ, and we understood the whole message of the scriptures, we would view the doctrine of faith as being merely the beginning of man’s walk with God, and we would never permit our children to be imbued with the quasi-Darwinist mindset that predominates our culture and educational systems today.

At the beginning of our Common Era, I lived as Jacob who you call James. At that time I was known as the brother of Yeshua/Jesus, and I was the first and primary leader of the New Covenant Movement known as TheWay (The Way). If you call yourself a Christian or Messianic Believer, then I am he who lived as the first leader of your church -- and I was taught the essence of TheWay by Yeshua himself. If you are a Jew, then I can explain to you how Yeshua was not only a Jew among Jews, but the very embodiment of the Torah and Judaism. In this present time the flock of believers have become spiritually disenfranchised by manmade doctrines that rob the people of their indwelling spiritual essence. And as the people in churches and synagogues pray and beseech our Heavenly Father for guidance, mercy and spiritual insight, the Lord has heard you prayers and your petitions for greater knowledge and understanding. So to answer your prayers, I re-entered physical life in order to teach you how to become the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus -- for it is written: "For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother" (Matt 12:50 NKJ). And while you may not initially believe that you too can be a brother or sister of Yeshua, I have been sent to tell you that it is a great and glorious truth that becomes the reality of all genuine and faithful servants of the Lord.
It was written as a forewarning that Satan would rise up against the Church, and divert it from its spiritual path as TheWay. In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." And this warning is further stated in the writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions where it is written: "Our Lord and Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to deceive. Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately compare his preaching with that of James, who was called the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us, preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them.’"
Again it is warned by Clement: "Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one, unless he has gone up thither, and there has been approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach"
As predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness. But have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light within you (Luke 17:20-21).
In the churches and synagogues the people have prayed for the Light and the Truth of TheWay. In spirit on the Lord's Day it was revealed through a prophetess: "The disciples said to Jesus, We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader? Jesus said to them, Wherever you are, you are to go to James (JACOB) the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." And it was explained that we must: "LIVE THE LIFE OF YA'ACOV (James/Jacob) HA ZADEK IN BODY AND LIVE THE LIFE OF THE YESHUA IN MIND AND YOU WILL ACHIEVE THE KINGDOM. THIS IS THE ROYAL LAW OF THE MOST HIGH. All other methods are UNAUTHORIZED AND ARE THE PATH TO THE SERPENT - For just as Yeshua brought his disciples to Jacob, so did Jacob bring his disciples to Yeshua - and All shall come to God."
On this site and it's associated web pages, what will be revealed is the means for each person to live the life of Jacob in the body, and the Life of Yeshua in mind, so you will be able to Achieve The Kingdom which is within you (Luke 17:20-21). The commandment of the Lord is that you will look for Jacob/James, and he will lead you to Yeshua -- and in this time of spiritual darkness, this commandment has been fulfilled in your own time. No one is asking you to believe -- but rather, turn about from the darkness of this world and the incomplete doctrines of men, and the Lord will receive you and permit you to enter the Kingdom while you are still alive in the physical body-vessel. If you say you believe in Yeshua/Jesus, then live in the manner that he taught you to live. If you say you have faith, then believe that God will give you the strength to pick up your own cross and follow in the footsteps of Yeshua, as you too become the prodigal son/daughter who returns to the Edenic Kingdom of Origination from which you departed so long ago.
Who was Jacob/James? The Church historian Eusebius quotes Hegesippus and writes of Jacob/James, the brother of Yeshua/Jesus, and first leader of the New Covenant Church: "He drank no wine or strong drink, nor did he eat meat". Hegesippus is further cited by Eusebius and tells us that "...the Lord's brother...was Holy from his birth. Everyone from the Lord's time till our own has called him the Righteous", and that "[b]ecause of his unsurpassable Righteousness he was called the Righteous, and Oblias," the latter being a strange word he describes as meaning "Bulwark of the People, and Righteousness," (E.H. 2.23); for Epiphanius, the word means "Wall"; for Eusebius, the "Protection of the People." James was considered to be such a true holy man who was a Nazirene (of the vow) from birth, that Epiphanius, Bishop of Salamis (315-404 CE), who had access to works he said were called the Anabathmoi Jacobou (the 'Ascents of James') and the Gospel of the Hebrews, and writes that: "once during a drought, he [James] lifted his hands to Heaven and prayed and at once Heaven sent rain...Thus they no longer called him by his name, but his name was, rather, the Righteous One" [in Hebrew, the 'Zaddik'].
Is the vision of the perfect life of the Disciple of Yeshua manifest in the example of James? Peter is quoted as saying with respect to James: "Our lord and prophet, who has sent us, declared to us that the Evil One, having disputed with him for forty days, but failing to prevail against him, promised that he would send Apostles from among his subjects to deceive them. Therefore, above all, remember to shun ANY APOSTLE, TEACHER OR PROPHET WHO DOES NOT ACCURATELY COMPARE HIS TEACHING WITH JAMES...the brother of our Lord...and this, even if he comes to you with recommendations" (Clementine Homilies 11.35). Thus, we are able to see where the present-day doctrines and lifestyle associated with the Christian Church today, is merely the work of the apostles of the Evil One.
An
the personage of Jacob, the Brother of Yeshua who was sent back into this world
to call the flock to the wedding feast of my beloved brother Yeshua , I am the
guide who is to help you to put on the required wedding garment: "And
when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a
wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not
having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the
servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer
darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but
few are chosen" (Matt
22:11-14 KJV). This world is the "outer darkness",
and we must follow in the exact way that Yeshua taught in order to be chosen
worthy of the Marriage. We must ourselves be the virgins who are undefiled
from the ways of this world, 
with
the oil of purity in our lamps, and we must be prepared to eat the bread which
is the Knowledge (Manna from Heaven), and drink the wine which is the Spirit,
and greet the Bridegroom. Thus, I am here to guide you to the well
where the person who drinks will thirst no more.
In the recently discovered Gospel of Thomas it is written: (12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." So to once again restore the teachings of TheWay which is today known as Christianity, the Lord has sent Jacob/James, the Brother of Yeshua/Jesus, back into the world in order to guide the faithful flock into the Truth, the Light, and the Kingdom within (Luke 17:20-21). It is there that my brother Yeshua/Jesus awaits you.
The above warning with respect to the predicted corruption of Yeshua's teachings is further stated in the first century writings known today as the Clementine Recognitions where it is written: "Our Lord and Prophet, who hath sent us, declared to us that the wicked one, having disputed with Him forty days, and having prevailed nothing against Him, promised that he would send apostles from amongst his subjects, to deceive. Wherefore, above all, remember to shun apostle or teacher or prophet who does not first accurately compare his preaching with that of James, who was called the brother of my Lord, and to whom was entrusted to administer the church of the Hebrews in Jerusalem, — and that even though he come to you with witnesses: lest the wickedness which disputed forty days with the Lord, and prevailed nothing, should afterwards, like lightning falling from heaven upon the earth, send a preacher to your injury, as now he has sent Simon upon us, preaching, under pretense of the truth, in the name of the Lord, and sowing error. Wherefore He who hath sent us, said, ‘Many shall come to me in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them.’"
Again it is warned by Clement: "Wherefore observe the greatest caution, that you believe no teacher, unless he bring from Jerusalem the testimonial of James the Lord’s brother, or of whosoever may come after him. For no one, unless he has gone up thither, and there has been approved as a fit and faithful teacher for preaching the word of Christ, — unless, I say, he brings a testimonial thence, is by any means to be received. But let neither prophet nor apostle be looked for by you at this time, besides us. For there is one true Prophet, whose words we twelve apostles preach"
As predicted, the ministers of Satan have succeeded in altering the teachings of my brother Yeshua, and continue to lead many into the abyss of darkness. But have no fear my brothers and sisters, for the teachings of TheWay has been restored so that you might be able to overcome the darkness, and enter the Kingdom of Light within you (Luke 17:20-21).

| The Brother Of Yeshua/Jesus: 2000 years ago I lived as Jacob who many all James, and I was known as the Brother of Yeshua and the first leader of the New Covenant movement of TheWay which is today known as Christianity. I was sent back into the world to restore the teachings of my brother Yeshua to their original spiritual essence, and to guide you in TheWay that is "narrow" so you will be able to open the "strait gate" within you and enter the Kingdom that Yeshua declared must be attained through the second birth. | |

The Light Of Yeshua -- The Messianic Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: While many teach that believers are saved by faith, the journey of the disciple of Yeshua is one of absolute dedication to The Way. The disciple who becomes a brother to Yeshua must live as he lived, and become a Nazirene who is consecrated and wholly set apart as they walk the Narrow Way, enter into the Kingdom through the Strait Gate, and learn directly from the L-rd -- the One Rabbi and Teacher of the Mysteries of G-d. | |

The Long Island Mystic and Nazirene Disciple of TheWay: The Organizational HomePage of The Nazirene -- the Long Island Mystic, Evangelical Minister, and Prophet of TheWay -- who God bestowed upon him the gift of the recall of his previous life as a Disciple and Brother of Messiah/Christ -- and thus has re-entered this world at the present time in order to restore the Spiritual Essence and Teachings of his Master, Yeshua/Jesus. The Kingdom is within! And we must sojourn the narrow path of TheWay, enter the "strait gate" to the Inner Spiritual Temple, while still alive in the physical body. Thus, modern Christians have misunderstood the words of Yeshua -- he never said that we must physically die to enter the Edenic Kingdom of Origination -- but rather, we must die to the culture, mindset and ways of this world in order to enter the Kingdom! | |

Being Of Light: Who are we? What are we? From where have we come? What is our destiny? To the demise of those who read these words, only a handful of people today can answer these all-important crucial questions correctly! The rest dwell under the cloud of unknowing -- and if you think you are the person whose reflection you see in the mirror, then you are a stranger to your true self and have made yourself part of the illusion of this world. With great wisdom Yeshua/Jesus is quoted in The Books of the Savior, also known as Pistis Sophia (Faith-Wisdom): "Do not cease seeking day or night, and do not let yourselves relax until you have found all the Mysteries of the Kingdom of Light, which will purify you and make you into Pure Light and lead you into the Kingdom of Light." | |
