Sixth Lesson - How is One Born Again? Nicodemus
said to him: How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter into the womb
of his mother a second time and be born, can
he?
(John 3:4) Well
literally, no, of course he cannot. But symbolically, yes, that is precisely how
one is born again. Born from the womb of his heavenly mother, God’s wife, the
holy spirit. It is being born as an angel in heaven. Nicodemus asked a Yes/No
Question What
has been born from the flesh is flesh, and what has been born from the spirit is
spirit
(John 3:6) What
has been born from fleshly women is men and women of flesh and what has been
born from the spirit woman, the holy spirit, is angels. When you are born again
God creates an angel in heaven through his wife, the holy spirit, for you, Amen. And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul (Genesis 2:7). The breath of life was not from the ground, it was from the heaven. Two nostrils, two vessels for holy spirit, two vessels for life. The vessel of dust, the human body or "soul", and the vessel of spirit, the angelic body or "soul" for neither vehicle whether angelic or human is a living soul without a spirit. The Hebrew word Pn) occurs both in the singular 'nose' (Genesis 2:7) and in the plural 'nostrils' (2 Kings 19:28 NIVHEOT) in the scriptures. Do
not put your trust in nobles,
nor in the son of earthling man,
to whom no salvation belongs.
His spirit goes out, he goes back to
his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish
(Psalm 146:3,4). The
man formed out of dust goes back to his ground, the breath of life blown
into his nostrils, is spirit, and his spirit which goes out. But this spirit is
not going out in the sense of a flame being extinguished. No, his thoughts do
perish, but his spirit does not perish, it goes out, out of his human body and
either into an angelic vehicle or Gehenna. For the human body is effectively
vehicle for the spirit. And
do not become fearful of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul;
but rather be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna
(Matthew 10:28). Next
he said to them: "Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do a good deed or to do a
bad deed, to save or to kill a soul?" But they kept silent
(Mark 3:4). Man
can kill a human soul, but he cannot kill the angelic soul. A soul in the sense
of Mark 3 is the human soul, or body, the human vehicle for the spirit. The soul
in the sense of Matthew 10:28 is your angelic soul, the angelic vehicle for your
spirit. There are two different souls being talked about in Matthew 10 and Mark
3, and these two correspond with the two nostrils of Adam. The human soul can be
killed, the angelic soul cannot. Do
look, answer me, Oh Jehovah my God. Make my eyes shine that I may not fall
asleep in death
(Psalm 13:3). Then,
bending his knees, he cried out with a strong voice: Lord, do not charge this
sin against them. And after saying this he fell asleep [in
death] (Acts 7:60) What
actually falls asleep in death? It is not the body, it is not a human soul (a
living human body), it is the angelic soul, the angel which effectively
possessed the body, providing a non physical vehicle for your spirit which falls
asleep. He
emptied himself, and took a slave's form, and came to be in the likeness of men
(Philippians 2:7). Michael
emptied His angelic soul (vehicle) and left him asleep in heaven, and entered
Jesus, taking a slave's form. He took the 'form' or body away from the non
adamic human Jesus (Immanuel), who was a slave in this sense, at His baptism by
John. There was an empty angelic body (Michael's) in heaven all through the
ministry of Jesus, and there was a sleeping angel containing the human Jesus
(Immanuel's) spirit after his baptism which was his physical death. This is
technically how God overcame the death of Jesus on the stake, and resurrected
him as an angel. It is the same with all humans, we all have an empty angelic
body (vehicle) throughout our judicial lives (after we have been born
again), and a sleeping angel at our deaths. It
is sown a physical
body,
it is raised up a spiritual body.
If there is a physical body, there
is also a spiritual one
(1 Corinthians
15:44). Raised
up as in from the judicially dead (born again). Sanctification is the birth of
the angelic body in heaven for the man. Becoming one of God's son, means having
an empty angel waiting, with your name on it, in this way one gets a name! If
you die clean in the flesh then you are put into a temporary angel with no name
on it, and when resurrected you are back to a plain old human with no angel. Consequently
if anyone is in union with Christ, he is a new creation.
The old things passed away,
look! new things have come into
existence
(2 Corinthians
5:17). For
neither is circumcision anything nor is uncircumcision
but a new creation [is
something] (Galatians 6:15). The
circumcision of the spirit is a new creation, coming into union with Christ,
i.e. being baptized into his name (a marriage union) is a new creation, in fact
the creation of an angel, which is named at the circumcision of the spirit as is
the Jewish son at the circumcision of the flesh. To
put this in another way let us suppose that you died, and that as many believe,
your character was stored in God’s memory. If God resurrected you by sticking
your character back into another body which was a replica of your old one, then
would you still be You or would he merely be a perfect copy of yourself? A
clone. If
he was merely a clone, then you would actually still be dead, and would have not
benefited at all from your own resurrection. Although no one would actually know
whether the clone was you or not, since it would be a perfect copy. In order for
your resurrection to be of some use to you, there needs to be a continuity of
your life between your first human body and your second human or angelic body.
This continuity can only be provided angelically because God possesses no other
souls for the human spirit, other than the human soul and the angelic soul.
Solomon referred to this situation in Ecclesiastes: 1
Remember, now, your Grand Creator in the days of your young manhood, before the
calamitous days proceed to come, or the years have arrived when you will say: I
have no delight in them [because your body is
failing with age]; The long lasting house is his angelic body, the wailers are the funeral attendees, the golden bowl and jar and the waterwheel are his human body (it's all plumbing for blood which represents the spirit). The spirit returns to the true God, the silver cord is his lifeline of continuity between the human soul and the angelic soul, it is his umbilical cord with the heavenly woman, the holy spirit. It is God’s means of conquering death. When the umbilical cord is broken the child is born. Gold precedes silver in value, and gold precedes silver in time in this and other bible symbolisms]. The gold body, which the man has first, is the human one and the silver body is the angelic one. The
silver cord is the savior of the spirit of a person. This spirit is the
spirit/breath of life that God breathed into Adam. This spirit of life, one's
spirit, one's personality, persists even after death, returning to God, via the
silver cord, being exhaled in fact. One's very breathing confirms this several
times a minute. God either puts it in a sleeping angel or in Gehenna (where you
soul has no vehicle). The sleeping angel, a spirit creature, whether named,
conceived in the heavenly woman's womb, or just designated for an unrighteous
man who will be resurrected, is a living soul, just like an unborn fetus. It
actually has the same spirit of life as the human soul, for God breathed into
both of Adam's nostrils the same spirit. Therefore the human is in fact
angelically possessed, from his sanctification, by his named sleeping angel.
Those who are born again or spirit baptized from heaven have two souls, but only
one spirit. This living angel provides the continuity of his spirit symbolized
by the silver thread, through death which preserves him. When
Adam was created, God created at the same time his angel. This
[hope] we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and firm, and it enters
within the curtain
(Hebrews 6:19). So
to sum up, the soul is a vehicle for your spirit. There are two types of soul,
fleshly and angelic. These are the two vehicles for the spirit of a man. Before
you die, your spirit is put into a sleeping angelic body by God. Then when you
die, you merely become a sleeping angel. You are effectively angelically
possessed by an empty angel before you die. Those in the first death only are in fact alive from a second death standpoint since they are not in the second death, so they have an angelic soul, they are born again, although first dead, asleep in a temporary angel. John 3 tells is that everyone is born again, for even those in Gehenna do see the kingdom of God! |
