And other sheep I have which are not of this fold;

and there will be one flock and one shepherd

The Son Will Rise on the East


Completed January 22, 2010

Then he led me to the gate,

the gate facing toward the east;

and behold, the glory of the God of

Israel was coming from the way of the east.

And His voice was like the sound of many waters;

and the earth shone with His glory. And it was like

the appearance of the vision which I saw, like

the vision which I saw when He came to

destroy the city. And the visions were

like the vision which

I saw by the river Chebar;

and I fell on my face. And the glory of the LORD

court; and behold, the glory of the LORDfilled the house.

Ezekiel 43:1-5

East is derived from the Greek root which means

arisen. And both knowledge and truth have arisen from the

East. For many of Gods children have spread to the East.

For as God promised to the forefathers, I am the LORD, the

God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on

which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants.

And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner

came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward theeast.


11/243

Your descendants will also be like the dust of the earth, and

you will spread out to the west and to the eastand to the north

and to the south; and in you and in your descendants shall all

the families of the earth be blessed. (Genesis 28:13-14)

And many truths have been enlightened by the philosophies of

the East. For philosophy is derived from the Latin roots phil

which means love and sophia which means wisdom and

understanding. Thus philosophy is the love of wisdom and

understanding. For the philosophers of the East have soughtfor wisdom and understanding. But the antithesis of wisdom

and understanding is ignorance. And many Western

philosophers have ignored the philosophies of the East. But

what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The

God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord

of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with

hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed

anything, since He Himself gives to all peoplelife and breath

and all things; and He made from one man every nation of

mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined

their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for

Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

for in Him we live and move and exist , as even some of your

own poets have said, For we also are His children. (Acts

17:23-28)

And in ignorance, the philosophers of the East have denied

that Christ is the Son of God. For by the Son descending and

dwelling amongst men, we too can be called sons of the living

God. Being then the children of God, we ought not to think


12/243

3

that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image

formed by the art and thought of man. Therefore having

overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to

men thatall people everywhereshould repent, because He has

fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness

through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished

proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. (Acts 17:29-

31)

And in truth, Eastern philosophies speak of the cycle ofrebirth. For as they profess, to be born here and to die here,

to die here and to be born elsewhere, to be born there and to

die there, to die there and to be born elsewhere that is the

round of existence. (Buddhist text) And the Son in truth

spoke of the cycle of rebirth. For as the Son testified, Truly,

truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he

cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of

the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not be amazed that I said to you, 'You must be born

again.' (John 3:5-7) Yet the East fails to recognize that

Christ has risen from the dead. But now Christ is risen from

the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have

fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also

came the resurrection of the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:20-21)

And now His firstfruits have risen from the dead. For as the

prophecy says, behold, I will open your graves and cause you

to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring

you into the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the

LORD, when I have opened your graves and caused you to

come up out of your graves, My people.

I will put My Spirit


13/243

4

within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on

your own land. Then you will know that I, the LORD, have

spoken and done it, declares the LORD. (Ezekiel 37:12-14)

But the cycle of rebirth shall soon end, for as all men have

died, so shall all men be made alive in Christ. For as in

Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But

each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward

those who are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the end,

when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when Heputs an end to all rule and all authority and power. (1

Corinthians 15:22-24) And reincarnation is derived from the

Latin root incarnationem which means to become flesh.

And the Word came to earth and would dwell in the flesh. For

the Word becameflesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His

glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of

grace and truth. (John 1:14)

we can live with peace in the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit

of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and

of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was

through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the

likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He

condemned sin in theflesh, so that the requirement of the Law

might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the

fleshbut according to the Spirit. For those who are according

to thefleshset their minds on the things of theflesh, but those

who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the

mind set on thefleshis death, but the mind set on the Spirit is

life and peace. (Romans 8:2-6)

leads to death. And through Christs death in the flesh, now

But the flesh ultimately


14/243

But although the flesh must die, the spirit can now live

forever. And at the last trumpet the trumpet shall sound, and

death shall be swallowed for all time. For we shall not all

sleep, but we shall all be changed-- in a moment, in the

twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will

sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall

be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and

this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible

has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on

immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is

written:

Death is swallowed up in victory.

O Death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is thelaw. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through

our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:51-57)

On Eastern Philosophy



Eastern philosophy includes and often incorporates the

various philosophies of the East, which include the Chinese,

Indian, Iranian, and Japanese philosophies. And Eastern

philosophy is founded upon three distinct philosophical

traditions: the Chinese, Indian, as well as the Persian

philosophies. And although these philosophies lack the

Abrahamic heritage of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic

philosophies, they do contain many ideologies which yield

great truths. For the Truth comes from the Word of God, and

it is wrong for any man to claim to know all truths. For not

from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert comesexaltation; but God is the Judge; He puts down one and exalts

another. (Psalms 75:6-7)

And one distinct feature of Eastern philosophy is its emphasis

on the continuity of the spirit, for spirituality exists in our

religious as well as our secular life. For it recognizes that our

entire daily life involves our entire relationship with God. For

as Christ taught us, we must take up our cross each and every

day. For if anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny

himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me. For

whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses

his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. (Luke

9:23-24) For there is no designated time nor place to worship

God. For His people were taught to worship God at every

time and at every place. For the first of all the

commandments is: Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the

LORDis one. And you shall love the LORDyour God with all

your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all

your strength.This is the first commandment. (Mark 12:29-

30)

And another distinguishing feature of Eastern philosophy is its

understanding of reincarnation, the process of ones soul being

transferred following death into rebirth. For literallyreincarnation means to be made into flesh again. And it is

true that all men are born in the flesh, and all men must die in

the flesh. And although all men are born and die in the flesh,

no man can enter heaven unless he is reborn in the Spirit. For

as the disciples were taught, truly, truly, I say to you, unless

one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the

kingdom of God. That which is born of theflesh is flesh, and

that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that

I said to you, You must be born again. (John 3:5-7) But few

men have chosen to be born again in the Spirit. For "the wind

blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not

know where it comes from and where it is going; so is

everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8) For the cost of

being born in the Spirit is to die to the flesh. But the reward of

dying in the flesh is to be reborn in the Spirit. For as it was

foretold of those who were born in the Spirit, then I saw

thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to

them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded

because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of

God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image,


17/243

8

and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their

hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a

thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until

the thousand years were completed. This is the first

resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the

first resurrection; over these the second death has no power,

but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign

with Him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:4-6) Thus,

those who have died and were born in the Spirit, would be

reborn in the Spirit. And they would reign in the heavens

with the Son. But those who have worshipped Satan and have

taken his mark, they would be condemned in hell. And now

that the years are complete and the end draws near, all souls

have been reincarnated to face the last judgment.

Yet the truth of reincarnation was abolished and declared

heresy by the papacy for obvious financial gain. For much of

the churchs wealth came from plenary indulgences, the sale

of dispensations that would absolve their patrons of their debts

in purgatory. For the Catholic church invented purgatory

as a place of purification, so as to achieve the holiness

necessary to enter the joy of heaven, which is experienced by

those who die in Gods grace and friendship, but are still

imperfectly purified. (Catechism of the Catholic Church

1030) And the Council of Trent would pronounce an

anathema against those who either declare indulgences to be

useless or deny that the Church has the power to grant them.

(Catholic Encyclopedia, vii, pp. 783-4) For as Pope Leo X

acknowledged of the papacy's indulgences, since God has

been pleased to give us the Papacy, let us enjoy it.


18/243

Another distinguishing feature of Eastern philosophy is the

understanding that the individual is an active participant of the

universe. In other words, the individual is integrated into the

whole universe which is objectively held to be one. Thus,

Eastern philosophy interprets the universe subjectively as a

participant, rather than objectively as an observer. And we as

His servants are commanded to participate with God in the

same way. For the Son is One with the Father, as He

testified I and the Father are one. (John 10:30) And He

came down to earth as a participant, to perfect our union with

God. For as He said, the glory which You have given Me I

have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I

in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so

that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them,

even as You have loved Me. (John 17:22-23) And through

the Holy Spirit, the unity of the body of Christ iscomplete. For even as the body is one and yet has many

members, and all the members of the body, though they are

many, are onebody, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we

were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks,

whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one

Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13) And although the division of

mankind remains great, at the end all of mankind shall be one.For as the prophecy foretells, behold, the tabernacle of God is

among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be

His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will

wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer

be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying,

or pain; the first things have passed away. (Revelation 21:3-

4)

Dharma - the Law



The Hindu philosophy has no single founder, and has no

single book as a reference for their beliefs. And in fact, the

word "Hindu" was not recognized until the 18th

century. For

"Hindu" was the Persian name used for the Indus River. And

the modern term of Hindu refers to its citizens, who live on the

Indian subcontinent of the Indus River, and adhere to the

Hindu philosophy of life.

The Hindu philosophy blends their spiritual and secular life,

which includes daily activities such as singing, dancing, andeating. And one prominent feature of Hindu philosophy is the

philosophy of Dharma. For as is defined of Dharma, the

word Dharma is derived from the root DHR- to hold- and its

etymological meaning is that which holds this world, or the

people of the world, or the whole creation from the microcosm

to the macrocosm. It is the eternal Divine Law of the Lord.

The entire creation is held together and sustained by the All-powerful Law of God. Practice of Dharma, therefore, means

recognition of this Law and abidance by it. (Swami

Shivanada)

And the Lord gave the Law to His witness to give to the

people. For "the LORDsaid to Moses, 'Come up to Me on the

mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone


21/243

12

tablets with the law and the commandment which I have

written for their instruction.'" (Exodus 24:12) And the Son

would validate the Law and its commandments. For as He

testified, "do not think that I came to abolish the Lawor the

Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill." (Matthew

5:17) And the Son would validate the Law, "in everything,

therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat

you, for this is theLawand the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)

And Dharma refers to that which holds this world andmankind together. For as the Hindu text Atharva Veda

describes allegorically of Dharma Prithivim Dharmana

dhritam, which means "this world is upheld by Dharma".

And it was foretold that this world would be upheld by the

Law. "'For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace;

and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the

day that is coming will set them ablaze,' says the LORD of

hosts, 'so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But

for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise

with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about

like calves from the stall. You will tread down the wicked, for

they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day

which I am preparing,' says the LORDof hosts. 'Remember the

law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances

which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.'" (Malachi

4:1-4) And the Father has upheld the Law through the Son.

"Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in

whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He

will bring forth justice to the nations." (Isaiah 42:1) And the

Son and the Spirit shall uphold the Law at the end. "For truly I


22/243

13

say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest

letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is

accomplished." (Matthew 5:18)

But Dharma does not condemn nor forsake any man. For

Dharma is needed in order to nurture and sustain him. For

"Dharma is that which nurtures the subjects and in turn the

society." (Mahabharat 12.109.11) And as Moses taught the

people of the Law, "the LORD your God will prosper you

abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the offspring ofyour body and in the offspring of your cattle and in the

produce of your ground, for the LORDwill again rejoice over

you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers; if you

obey the LORDyour God to keep His commandments and His

statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn

to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul."

(Deuteronomy 30:9-10)

And the goal of Dharma is to allow for the improvement of

mankind. For "the sole aim with which Dharma is advocated

is to bring about the evolution of living beings. A doctrine

preaches that that which is able to bring about evolution is

Dharma." (Mahabharat 12.109.10) And the Law of the Lord

allows for the improvement of mankind. For the Law restoresmen's souls and makes most men wise. For "the law of the

LORDis perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the LORD

is sure, making wise the simple." (Psalms 19:7) And the Law

allows all men to live. For "if Your law had not been my

delight, then I would have perished in my affliction. I will

never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived

me." (Psalms 119:92-93) And the Law grants those who obey


23/243

14

it great peace. For "those who love Your law have great

peace, and nothing causes them to stumble." (Psalms 119:165)

For the Law is righteousness and truth. For "your

righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and Your lawis

truth." (Psalms 119:142) And it was through the Son that the

Law was perfected. "For theLawwas given through Moses;

grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ." (John

1:17) And it is through Christ that the law of righteousness

ends. "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to

everyone who believes." (Romans 10:4)

And Dharma can be summarized by one word: compassion.

For "compassion itself is ultimate Dharma". (Mahabharat

3.373.76) For the Law was not intended to judge man, but

was written to teach man of compassion. "Or have you not

read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple

break the Sabbath and are innocent? But I say to you that

something greater than the temple is here. But if you had

known what this means, 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT A

SACRIFICE' you would not have condemned the innocent."

(Matthew 12:5-7) And as the young ruler asked of our Lord,

'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?' And

He said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVETHE LORDYOUR GODWITH

ALL YOUR HEART, YOUR SOUL, AND YOUR MIND. This is the

great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU

SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two

commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

(Matthew 22:36-40) And as Christ would teach them on the

law of compassion, "in everything, therefore, treat people the

same way you want them to treat you, for this is theLawand


24/243

15

the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12) For it was by the Lord's

compassion that He gave us His only Son. And it is through

His compassion that His Son shall return. And "'it will come

about in that day that I will respond,' declares the LORD. 'I will

respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth, and

the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and to the

oil, and they will respond to Jezreel. I will sow her for Myself

in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not

obtainedcompassion, and I will say to those who were not My

people, 'You are My people!' and they will say, 'You are my

God!'" (Hosea 2:21-23)

III

Atman - The Spirit


Completed February 26, 2010

The atman is the Hindu philosophical term which means

man's "spirit". For atman is at the core of every man, and in

translation literally means "I am". For in the Upanishad texts,

atman is defined as "tat svam asi", which means "atman is

what you are." (Chandogya Upanishad VI.8.4) And its

derivation comes from the Sanskirt root tmanwhich means

"breath". And it was through the breath of the Spirit, that the

first man was brought to life. "

And this creationist concept of atman implies that the

the individual spirit as a microcosm of the universal spirit of

Atman. For the term Atman refers to the "universal spirit" of

all of creation. And the universal spirit of all of creation is the

Spirit of God. For "in the beginning God created the heavens

and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness

was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was

moving over the surface of the waters." (Genesis 1:1-2) And it

is through the Spirit of God that man was given life. For "the

Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty

gives me life." (Job 33:4)

And the Spirit of God dwells in

And the LORD God formed

man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils

the breath of life; and man became a living being." (Genesis2:7)

individual is a microcosm of the whole. For atman refers to


26/243

17

man, while he still has life and breath. "For as the LORDsaid,

'My Spiritshall not strive with man forever, because he also is

flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty

years." (Genesis 6:3) Thus, the Spirit is the one who gives us

life. And as the Spirit gives the spirit of life, so can the Spirit

take away the spirit of life. For "You take away theirspirit,

they expire and return to their dust. You send forth Your

Spirit, they are created". (Psalms 104:29-30)

But our atman exists in opposition with our ego (ahamkar),which is produced by our own selfish pride. And this dual

nature of our self, atman and ahamkar, in error gives way to

our pride. For it is our pride that separate us from oneness

with the Spirit. For "there are two selves, the separate ego and

the indivisible Atman. When one rises above I, me and mine,

the Atman reveals itself as the real Self." (Katha

Upanishad) For our ego is separated from God by the

boastful pride of our flesh. "For all that is in the world, the

lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride

of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world." (1 John

2:16) And man was first separated from God by wanting to

be like God. For as "the serpent said to the woman, 'You

surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat

from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God,

knowing good and evil.'" (Genesis 3:4-5) And man's pride to

this day continues to damn him. For as it was foretold of

man's sinful pride, "your heart will become proud and you will

forget the LORDyour God who brought you out from the land

of Egypt, out of the house of slavery." (Deuteronomy 8:14)

And no man's ego shall be beholden, for only One shall be


27/243

18

exalted on that day. For "the pride of man will be humbled

and the loftiness of men will be abased; and the LORDalone

will be exalted in that day." (Isaiah 2:17)

And through this struggle of atman versus ego, the atman

remains elusive and hidden. "For the self cannot be known

through the study of scriptures, nor through the intellect, nor

through hearing learned discourses. It can be chosen only by

those whom the Self chooses." (Katha Upanishad) And it was

through the choice of Christ, that His Elect would be chosen.For as he said "you did not choose Me but I chose you, and

appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your

fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in

My name He may give to you." (John 15:16) For the Spirit

was revealed by the Light. "The same was in the beginning

with God. All things were made by him; and without him was

not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the

life was the light of men." (John 1:2-4) For as the Son

confirmed "I am the Lightof the world; he who follows Me

will not walk in the darkness, but will have theLightof life."

(John 8:12) And it is through the Holy Spirit that we are now

One with God.. For "you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit,

if indeed the Spirit of Goddwells in you. But if anyone does

not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If

Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet

thespiritis alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of

Himwho raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who

raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your

mortal bodies throughHis Spiritwho dwells in you." (Romans

8:9-11)

And it is only by denying our pride, and following


28/243

19

Christ's path that our atman can be known. For as He said, "if

anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and

take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save

his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will

find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole

world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in

exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:24-26) And now is the

time that all men have been called. And "now may the God of

peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may yourspirit and

soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the

coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Thessalonians 5:23)

Brahman - the Father


Completed March 4, 2010

And all things come from and return to the Father. And the

Hindu philosophical term is that all things come from

Brahman, the One who creates and sustains all things. And

the Father is the Creator who created all things. And "in thebeginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis

1:1) And the Father is the One who created man in His own

image. "God created man in His own image, in the image of

God He created him; male and female He created them."

(Genesis 1:27) And the Father is the One who sustains our

souls. For "behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the sustainer

of my soul." (Psalms 54:4)

And Brahman is derived from the Sanskirt root brahmawhich

means "prayer". And the Son taught us how to pray to the

Father. As "He said to them, 'When you pray, say: Our Father

in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we alsoforgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us

into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Luke 11:2-

4) And as it was prophesied, His kingdom shall be a place of

prayer for all people. "Also the foreigners who join

themselves to the LORD, to minister to Him, and to love the

name of the LORD, to be His servants, everyone who keeps

from profaning the sabbath and holds fast My covenant; even

Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us day by


30/243

21

those I will bring to My holy mountain and make them joyful

in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their

sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; for My house will be

called a house of prayer for all the peoples." (Isaiah 56:6-7)

And Brahman is infinite and beyond all comprehension. For

"that supreme Brahman is infinite, and this conditioned

Brahmanis infinite. The infinite proceeds from infinite. Then

through knowledge, realizing the infinitude of the infinite, it

remains as infinite alone." (Mundaka Upanishad) And thepower of the Father is infinite. For "He counts the number of

the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and

abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite." (Psalms

147:4-5) And the heavens and the earth are ruled by His

infinite power. For "the pillars of heaven tremble and are

amazed at His rebuke. He quieted the sea with His power, and

by His understanding He shattered Rahab. By His breath the

heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.

Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; and how faint a

word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can

understand?" (Job 26:11-14) And the Father gave us His Son

that we may know of His infinite love. "For God so loved the

world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever

believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John

3:16)

And the derivative of Brahman is BRH- which means "to

create". And Brahman created all things in the past, present,

and future. For "I know everything that has happened in the

past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are

yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one


31/243

22

knows." (Bhagavad Gita 7:26) And at the beginning, the

Father created all things. For "in the beginning Godcreated

the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) And in the present,

the Father sustains all things. For "do you not know? Have

you not heard? The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creatorof

the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His

understanding is inscrutable." (Isaiah 40:28) And at the end,

the Father shall reveal all things that will be. For "the angel

whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his

hand to heaven and swore by Him who lives forever and ever,

whocreatedheaven and the things that are in it, the earth and

the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it,

that there should be delay no longer, but in the days of the

sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the

mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His

servants the prophets." (Revelation 10:5-7)

And Brahman is silent for His name means silence. For as the

student inquired of his master "'Sir,' said a student to his

master, 'teach me the nature of Brahman.' The master did not

reply. When he was asked a second and a third time, he

replied: 'I teach you, but you do not listen. His name is

silence.'" (Samkara Upanishad) And as Moses warned the

people, "be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have

become a people for the LORDyour God. You shall therefore

obey the LORDyour God, and do His commandments and His

statutes which I command you today." (Deuteronomy 27:9-10)

And His Son was sacrificed in silence for our sins. "He was

led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before its shearer

issilent, so He opened not His mouth. In His humiliation His


32/243

23

justice was taken away, and who will declare His generation?

For His life is taken from the earth." (Acts 8:32-33) And the

day draws near when all men shall be silent. "Besilentbefore

the Lord GOD! For the day of the LORDis near, for the LORD

has prepared a sacrifice, He has consecrated His guests."

(Zephaniah 1:7)

And Brahman is complete and whole in itself. For "in the

beginning this world was only Brahman, and it knew only

itself thinking: 'I am Brahman.' As a result it became theWhole." (Brhadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10) And in the

beginning, there was only God. For "in the beginning was the

Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was

God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into

being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into

being that has come into being." (John 1:1-3) And as God

Himself would confirm, His name is complete. For "I am who

I am". For as "Moses said to God, 'Behold, I am going to the

sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers

has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His

name?' What shall I say to them?' God said to Moses, 'I AM

WHO I AM'; and He said, 'Thus you shall say to the sons of

Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.''" (Exodus 3:13-14) And

now we profess that God Himself is the Creator of all. "Know

that the LORDHimself is God; It is He who has made us, and

not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His

pasture." (Psalms 100:3)

Satya - The Son is Truth



Truthalone triumphs, not untruth.

The path oftruthleads to Godliness.

Sages having their desires fulfilled,

ascend to the realm of the supreme treasure oftruth.

Mundaka Upwanishad III.1.6

Satya is the Hindu philosophical term which means "truth".

For as it is defined in the Sanskrit verse, sate hitam satyam,which means "satya is the way to ultimate truth". And the

Son is the way to ultimate truth. For the Son is the Word, and

the Word is the Truth. For "the Wordbecame flesh, and dwelt

among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten

from the Father, full of grace and truth... For the Law was

given through Moses; grace and truthwere realized through

Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time; the onlybegotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has

explained Him." (John 1:14-18) And as the Son testified, "I

am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the

Father but through Me." (John 14:6) For the Son has

sanctified His disciples in truth, as He asked of the Father,

"sanctify them in the truth; Your word istruth. As You sent

Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For


34/243

25

their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be

sanctified intruth." (John 17:17-19) And on that day His city

shall be the City of Truth. "Thus says the LORD, 'I will return

to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then

Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain

of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.'"

(Zechariah 8:3)

And satya is derived from the root word satwhich means "to

exist for eternity". And the Word of God existed at thebeginning. For "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word

was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the

beginning with God." (John 1:1-2) And the Son shall reign on

His throne forever. For "Your throne, O God, is forever and

ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your

Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated

lawlessness; therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with

the oil of gladness more than Your companions." (Hebrews

1:8-10) For His existence from the beginning remains always

the same. "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of

the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They

will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a

garment; like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be

changed." (Hebrews 1:10-11) And the Son shall be the same

for all of eternity. "But You are the same, and Your years will

not fail." (Hebrews 1:10-12) And by believing in the Son, we

also shall inherit eternal life. For "he who believes in the Son

has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see

life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:3)


35/243

26

And satya means the sun which is light. "Now, that which is

Satya is thesunthe being who dwells in yonder orb and the

being who is in the right eye. These two rest on each other."

(Brihadaranyaka Upanishad I.5.2) And God gave mankind the

orb of the sun, so that he would have light. "Then God said,

Let great lightsappear in the sky to separate the day from the

night. Let them mark off the seasons, days, and years. Let

these lights in the sky shine down on the earth. And that is

what happened. God made two great lights, the sun and the

moonthe larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one

to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these

lightsin the sky to light the earth,

And Satya is the truth in words, as Dharma is the truth in deed.

For as the Hindu verse says, satyamiti yathasastrarthata sa

eva anusthiyamanah dharmanama bhavati, which means

to govern the day and night,

and to separate the lightfrom the darkness. And God saw that

it was good." (Genesis 1:14-18) And the Father sent us the

Son and He was the Light. "For God did not send the Son

into the world to judge the world, but that the world might besaved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he

who does not believe has been judged already, because he has

not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

This is the judgment, that the Lighthas come into the world,

and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their

deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates theLight,

and does not come to the Lightfor fear that his deeds will beexposed.But he who practices the truth comes to theLight, so

that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in

God." (John 3:17-21)


36/243

27

"satya is truth in words and dharma is truth in deed."

(Taithriya Upanishad) And the Son came as the truth in Word

to fulfill the Law in deed. For as the Word said, "do not

think that I came to abolish theLawor the Prophets; I did not

come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until

heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke

shall pass from the Lawuntil all is accomplished." (Matthew

5:17-18) And Dharma instructs that our deeds should be done

through compassion. And as the Son instructed us of our

deeds, "in everything, therefore, treat people the same way

you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the

Prophets." (Matthew 7:12)

But most importantly satya means "near to God". For the

Sanskirt verse says sate hitam satyam, which means "that

which brings you nearer to God is satya". And the priests

brought men closer to God, for only they were allowed to

come near the covenant. "So you shall appoint Aaron and his

sons that they may keep their priesthood, but the layman who

comes near shall be put to death." (Numbers 3:10) And

through the priesthood of Christ, all men may draw closer to

God. For "Jesus has become the guarantee of a better

covenant. The former priests, on the one hand, existed in

greater numbers because they were prevented by death from

continuing,but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues

forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore He is

able also to save forever those who drawnearto God through

Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them."

(Hebrews 7:22-25)


37/243

28

And this verse is commonly interpreted as "satya is the love

which brings you nearer to God". For it is through the

sacrificial love of the Son, that we have been brought closer to

God. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only

begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,

but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the

world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved

through Him." (John 3:16-17) For God so loved the world,

that He was sacrificed as a propitiation for our sins. And "by

this the loveof God was manifested in us, that God has sent

His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live

through Him. In this is love, not that we lovedGod, but that

He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our

sins." (1 John 4:9-10) And through His love, those who were

far may now draw near. For "now in Christ Jesus you who

formerly were far off have been broughtnear

by the blood ofChrist." (Ephesians 2:13) And by His example, the Son taught

all men how to love. "This is My commandment, that you

loveone another, just as I have lovedyou." (John 15:12) And

by His servitude and love, He taught us a greater love. For

"you have heard that it was said, 'You shall loveyour neighbor

and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies,

bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, andpray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that

you may be sons of your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:43-

45) And by His sacrificial love on the cross, He taught us the

greatest love of all. For "greater lovehas no one than this, that

one lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)


38/243

29

Greater love has no one than this,

that One lay down His life for His

enemies.

Karma - An Image in the Mirror



Karma is the classic Hindu philosophical understanding that

consequence of our own moral choices. Therefore, it expounds

on the law that every action has an equal and opposite

reaction. And this law of Karma is consistent with the

Newtonian law of physics which we have emboldened. For as

it states, "for every action has a reaction equal in magnitude

and opposite in direction". (Philosophi Naturalis Principia

Mathematica,Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion) And

this ideology is succinctly summarized by the Hindu verse,"God does not make one suffer for no reason nor does He

make one happy for no reason. God is very fair and gives you

exactly what you deserve." (Bhagavad Gita) And Judeo

Christianity upholds this same ideology of justice, for "a just

balance and scales belong to the LORD; all the weights of the

bag are His concern." (Proverbs 16:11)

And karma was established from the beginning, for in the

beginning all things were zeroed and balanced. For "in the

beginning was only Being, One without a second. Out of

himself he brought forth the cosmos. And entered into

everything in it. There is nothing that does not come from

him. Of everything he is the inmost Self. He is the truth; he is

the Self supreme." (Chandogya Upanishad) And karma shall

31

be enforced at the end. For at the end, all things shall be

zeroed and balanced. "See my sovereign technique: creatures

both in me and not in me. Supporting beings, my person

brings beings to life, without living in them. I am omnipresent

as the storm wind which resides in space. All beings exist in

me. Remember that. All creatures enter into my nature at the

end of an eon". (Bhagavad Gita) For the end was established

when the beginning began. For as God disclosed, "I am God,

and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me,

declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times

things which have not been done, saying, 'My purpose will be

established, and I will accomplish all My good pleasure.'"

(Isaiah 46:9-10)

And karma is one. Yet it is the division of one into two.

"Two from one! This is the root of suffering. Only perceive

that I am one without two, pure awareness, pure joy, and all

the world is false. There is no other remedy!" (Ashtavakra

Gita) For the division first began in the Garden. For it was

from the division of man into two, that mankind's separation

first began. For the first man was divided into Adam and Eve,

and mankind was divided into male and female. For

knowledge was divided into good and evil, and man's

existence was divided into life and death. For "the LORDGod

commanded the man, saying, 'From any tree of the garden you

may eat freely;but from the tree of the knowledge of good and

evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you

will surely die.' Then the LORDGod said, 'It is not good for the

man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.'

The LORDGod fashioned into a woman the rib which He had


41/243

32

taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man

said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of

Man." (Genesis 2:16-23)

And mankind has struggled to make two into one. For man has

struggled to make one flesh. For "have you not read that He

who made them at the beginning 'made them male and

female,' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father

and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shallbecome one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one

flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man

separate." (Matthew 19:4-6) And man has struggled to form

one heart and one spirit. "For I will give them one heart, and

put a new spirit within them. And I will take the heart of stone

out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may

walk in My statutes and keep My ordinances and do them.

Then they will be My people, and I shall be their God."

(Ezekiel 11:19-20)

And karma is derived from the Sanskrit root karman which

means "action" or "deed". For karma is a result of our

actions and deeds. For the disciples were reminded to prepare

their minds for action. "Therefore, prepare your minds foraction, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the

grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ." (1

Peter 1:13) And the disciples perfected their faith through

their deeds. For "faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by

action, is dead. But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have

deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show

you my faith by what I do." (James 2:17-18) But the people


42/243

33

dealt with God treacherously through their actions. For the

people would rebel with treacherous deeds. For "they tempted

and rebelled against the Most High God and did not keep His

testimonies,but turned back and actedtreacherously like their

fathers; they turned aside like a treacherous bow." (Psalms

78:56-57) Thus each man shall be judged by his actions and

deeds. For "God will judge both the righteous man and the

wicked man, for a time for every matter and for everydeedis

there." (Ecclesiastes 3:17)

And what is karma, but God's just response to our actions.

deeds. "'It will come about in that day that I will respond,'

declares the LORD. 'I will respond to the heavens, and they

will respond to the earth, and the earth will respond to the

grain, to the new wine and to the oil, and they willrespondto

Jezreel." (Hosea 2:21-22) And man's sinfulness shall be met

with great retribution. For "vengeance is Mine, and

retribution, in due time their foot will slip; for the day of their

calamity is near, and the impending things are hastening upon

them." (Deuteronomy 32:35) But man's righteous actions

shall be rewarded with honor and glory. For "the nations will

see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you will

be called by a new name which the mouth of the LORDwill

designate. You will also be a crown of beauty in the hand of

the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God."

(Isaiah 62:2-3)

For this world is an image of God, who is One and complete.

For when karma is complete, the reflection and its source shall

be one. For "an object has a reflection: When looking we see

And on that day, the Lord shall respond justly to every man's


43/243

34

two images, yet there is only one thing. Likewise, this world is

a reflection of the Supreme Lord. We may see two, yet only

One exists." (Jnaneshwar) For man was created in the image

of God. For "God created man in His own image, in the

image of God He created him; male and female He created

them." (Genesis 1:27) And when we look at God and

mankind, we may see two, yet there is just One. For we are

the reflection of God. And at the end, God and mankind shall

be One. "Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear

as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in

the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree

of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every

month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the

nations. There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of

God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will

serve Him; they will see His face, and His name will be ontheir foreheads. And there will no longer be any night; and

they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of

the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they

will reign forever and ever." (Revelation 22:1-5)

For now we see in a mirror dimly,

Reincarnation - The Cycle of Life



Reincarnation, the recurring cycle of birth, death, and rebirth,

is a recurrent theme of Hindu philosophy. And reincarnation

is the concept that our bodies are temporal, but our souls

endure forever. For our physical bodies are like garments

which are worn-out over time. And after time "these worn-out

garmentsare shed by the body. Worn-out bodies are shed by

the dweller within the body. New bodies are donned by the

dweller, likegarments." (Bhagavad Gita) And it was the first

man and woman who donned garments of skin. For "the

LORDGod madegarmentsof skin for Adam and his wife, and

clothed them." (Genesis 3:21) But at the end man's skin wears

out like a garment. And at the end, even the earth will roll up

like a garment. "Lift up your eyes to the sky, then look to theearth beneath; for the sky will vanish like smoke, and the earth

will wear out like agarmentand its inhabitants will die in like

manner." (Isaiah 51:6) Yet we were taught not to cling to

these garments, but to fear for the fate of our souls. "Do not

fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but

rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in

hell." (Matthew 10:28)


46/243

37

And the Hindu term for reincarnation is samsara, which is

suffering that is due to one's sins. And though man in his

ignorance has been tempted by the flesh, his soul remains

rooted in God. For "the tree of eternity has its roots in the sky,

and its branches reach down to earth. It is God; it is the

immortal soul. The whole universe comes from God; his

energy burns like fire, and his power reverberates like thunder,

in every part of the universe. In honor of God the sun shines,

the clouds rain, and the winds blow.Deathitself goes about its

business in fear of God." (Katha Upanishad) And as the

Father claimed of men's souls, "behold, all souls are Mine; the

soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine".

(Ezekiel 18:4) But each man must suffer as a consequence of

one's sins. For "the soul who sins shall die." (Ezekiel 18:5)

For the only way to freedom is to do what is lawful and right.

For "if a man is just and does what is lawful and right; if hehas not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the

idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor's wife, nor

approached a woman during her impurity; if he has not

oppressed anyone, but has restored to the debtor his pledge;

has robbed no one by violence, but has given his bread to the

hungry and covered the naked with clothing; if he has not

exacted usury nor taken any increase, but has withdrawn hishand from iniquity and executed true judgment between man

and man; if he has walked in My statutes and kept My

judgments faithfully -- He is just; He shall surely live!' Says

the Lord GOD." (Ezekiel 18:6-9)

But every man since Adam has died. For each man's sins have

sentenced him to death. For "if he begets a son who is a


47/243

38

robber or a shedder of blood, who does any of these things and

does none of those duties, but has eaten on the mountains or

defiled his neighbor's wife; if he has oppressed the poor and

needy, robbed by violence, not restored the pledge, lifted his

eyes to the idols, or committed abomination; if he has exacted

usury or taken increase-- shall he then live? He shall not live!

If he has done any of these abominations, he shall surelydie".

(Ezekiel 18:10-13) And the path of our failures leads to death

and rebirth. But the "path to eternal life" frees us from the

pain of rebirth. Thus by "banishing the folly of rebirth and

thus beholding perfection's true Being - that is wisdom."

(Tirukkural 36:358) But few men have been freed from the

cycle of rebirth. For "never does a man attain freedom by his

own skill". (Paushkara Agama) For the path to freedom was

established by the Father. "Thus says the LORD, 'Stand by the

ways and see and ask for the ancient

paths, where the goodway is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls.

But they said, 'We will not walk in it.'" (Jeremiah 6:16) And

the path to eternal life was revealed by the Son. For as He

said, "enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and

the wayis broad that leads to destruction, and there are many

who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is

narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."(Matthew 7:13-14) And the path to eternal life is granted

through the Spirit. For the grace of the Spirit grants us

freedom and rest. For "as the cattle which go down into the

valley, the Spirit of the LORDgave themrest. So You led Your

people, to make for Yourself a glorious name." (Isaiah 63:14)


48/243

39

But the flesh is temporary, and our bodies are templeswhich

are limited by time. For the temple is a reminder of God's path

to eternal life. For "we look not at the things which are seen,

but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are

seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are

eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:18) And the first temple was

established by the Father. "Your God has commanded your

strength; show Yourself strong, O God, who have acted on our

behalf. Because of Your templeat Jerusalem kings will bring

gifts to You." (Psalms 68:28-29) And the second temple was

established by the sacrifice of the Son. For "Jesus answered

them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it

up.' The Jews then said, 'It took forty-six years to build this

temple, and will You raise it up in three days?' But He was

speaking of the templeof His body. So when He was raised

from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; andthey believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had

spoken." (John 2:19-22) And the third temple is being built by

the Spirit. For we as His people are the temple of the Spirit,

"or do you not know that your body is a templeof the Holy

Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you

are not your own? For you have been bought with a price:

therefore glorify God in your body." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

And by following His path, the Lord has granted His servants

freedom and rest. But the time of rest has ended, before the

Son of Man returns. For "whenever there is decay of

righteousness... and there is exaltation of unrighteousness,

then I Myself come forth... for the destruction of evil-doers,

for the sake of firmly establishing righteousness, I am born


49/243

40

from age to age." (Bhagavad Gita) And as the prophecy

foretold, His people have arisen from their graves for the last

judgment. "Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will open your

graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My

people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. Then you

will know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your

graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My

people. I will put My Spirit within you and you will come to

life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will

know that I, the LORD, have spoken and done it," declares the

LORD.' " (Ezekiel 37:12-14) And "many of those who sleep in

the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but

the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. Those who

have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the

expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to

righteousness, like the stars forever and ever."

(Daniel 12:2-4)

Thus the truth of samsara is the answer to time's final

mystery. For when time comes to an end, the cycle of

reincarnation shall come to an end. And at the last battle,

Death shall be vanquished, and the cycle of reincarnation shall

end. Then the robe of eternal life shall awaken for all men in

victory. "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep,

but we shall all be changed--in a moment, in the twinkling of

an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the

deadwill be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For

this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must

put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on

incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall

be brought to pass the saying that is written:


50/243

41

Deathis swallowed up in victory.

ODeath, where is your sting?

OHades, where is your victory?"

1 Corinthians 15:51-55

For time as at the beginning shall end. And the circle of God's

temple shall be One once again. And "I saw notemplein it,

for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are itstemple."

(Revelation 21:22)

Samsara is Suffering and Death


Completed March 29,2010

Samsara is the Hindu word for reincarnation, but it also

pertains to the sufferings that occur in everyday life. Forsamsara is determined by one's karma, and each man's samsara

is transferred from one life into the next. Yet many through

not experienced the true suffering of death. But at the end,

suffering and death shall retain its power over all men. For

"the whole universe comes from God; his energy burns like

fire, and his power reverberates like thunder, in every part ofthe universe. In honor of God the sun shines, the clouds rain,

and the winds blow. Death itself goes about its business in

fear of God." (Katha Upanishad)

And death is a fair and just recompense, for all men must

suffer through death. And as it was promised, even those who

then He will reward each according to his works. Assuredly, I

say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste

death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

(Matthew 16:27-28) And no longer will man be able to cheat

death. For as it was prophesied, "then out of the smoke came

locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the

suicide have tried to escape their just recompense, and have

have cheated death, must suffer throughits pain. For "the Sonof Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and


52/243

43

scorpions of the earth have power. They were told not to hurt

the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but

only the men who do not have the seal of God on their

foreheads. And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to

torment for five months; and their torment was like the

torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. And in those days

men will seekdeathand will not find it; they will long todie,

anddeathflees from them." (Revelation 9:3-6)

And samsara literally means "to wander". For men havewandered aimlessly from one life into the next. And God has

rejected those who have wandered from His commands. For

"You have rejected all those who wanderfrom Your statutes,

for their deceitfulness is useless." (Psalms 119:118) And it

was due to Israel's deceit that God made them wander in the

desert for forty years. "So the LORD'S anger burned against

Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty

years, until the entire generation of those who had done evil in

the sight of the LORDwas destroyed. Now behold, you have

risen up in your fathers' place, a brood of sinful men, to add

still more to the burning anger of the LORDagainst Israel. For

if you turn away from following Him, He will once more

abandon them in the wilderness, and you will destroy all these

people." (Numbers 32:13-15) And it is due to man's sins that

God makes them wander. For "He deprives of intelligence the

chiefs of the earth's people and makes them wander in a

pathless waste. They grope in darkness with no light, and He

makes them stagger like a drunken man." (Job 12:24-25) But

the path to eternal life is there for those who choose to walk in

His ways. For "a highway will be there, a roadway, and it will


53/243

44

be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel

on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will

not wanderon it." (Isaiah 35:8)

And samsara is derived from the Sanskirt root which means

"to flow". And the winepress once flowed with the Son of

Man's blood. And "one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with

a spear, bringing a sudden flowof blood and water. The man

who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He

knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you alsomay believe. These things happened so that the scripture

would be fulfilled: 'Not one of his bones will be broken,' and,

as another scripture says, 'They will look on the one they have

pierced.' " (John 19:34-37) And as it was prophesied, the

winepress shall flow when the Son returns. For "I will send a

plague against you and make blood flowin your streets. Your

people will fall dead. People with swords will attack you from

every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD." (Ezekiel

28:23)

But samsara shall bring all men back to the Father. For the

water from the Father sustained mankind from the beginning.

"Now a riverflowedout of Eden to water the garden; and from

there it divided and became four rivers." (Genesis 2:10) Andthe Father caused water to flow in the desert. For "He opened

the rock and water flowedout; it ran in the dry places like a

river." (Psalms 105:41) And the water shall flow from the

"By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will

grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither

and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month

Temple of God, and it shall be healing for all of the nations.


54/243

45

because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit

will be for food and their leaves for healing." (Ezekiel 47:12)

Moksha - The Way



Moksha is the Hindu term which refers to liberation

from the cycle of samsara. And it is through many

lifetimes, that men have been bound to this earth. But"through constant efforts over many lifetimes, a

person becomes purified of all selfish desires and

attains the supreme goal of life." (Bhagavad Gita)

For it is the selfish desires of the flesh, which

imprison most men on this earth. For "if you have

bitter jealousy andselfishambition in your heart, donot be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This

wisdom is not that which comes down from above,

but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy

andselfishambition exist, there is disorder and every

evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure,

then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and

good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy." (James

3:14-17) And it is through the selfless example of

Christ, that we learn to deny our selfish ways. "We

then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of

the weak, and not to pleaseourselves. Let each of us


56/243

47

please his neighbor for his good, leading to

edification. For even Christ did not please Himself;

but as it is written, 'The reproaches of those who

reproached You fell on Me.'" (Romans 15:1-3)

And every selfless act originates from God. For

"every selfless act...is born from Brahman, the

eternal, infinite Godhead. He is present in every act

of service." (Bhagavad Gita) For it was the selfless

act of the Father, that caused Him to send us His only

Son. And "although He existed in the form of God,

He did not regard equality with God a thing to be

grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a

bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of

men. Being found in appearance as a man, He

humbled Himselfby becoming obedient to the point

of death, even death on a cross." (Philippians 2:6-9)

And moksha is derived from the Sanskrit root mukti

which means "to release". And it is through the

mercy of God, that men are released from the cycle

of death. And it was after the seventh year of the

Jubilee, that the people were released from their

debts. "At the end of every seven years you shall

grant a release of debts. And this is the form of the

release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his


57/243

48

neighbor shallreleaseit; he shall not require it of his

neighbor or his brother, because it is called the

LORD'Srelease." (Deuteronomy 15:1-2) And it is

after the seventh year of the prophecy, that all men

shall be released from the cycle of death. "This will

be written for the generation to come, that a people

yet to be created may praise the LORD.

For all men deserve the sentence of death. But the

Son who had committed no sin, did not deserve the

sentence of death. Yet when Pontius Pilate passed

judgment over Christ, he asked the people, "but you

have a custom that I should release someone to youat the Passover. Do you therefore want me torelease

to you the King of the Jews?"

For He looked

down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaventhe LORD viewed the earth, to hear the groaning of

the prisoner, to release those appointed to death, to

declare the name of the LORDin Zion, and His praise

in Jerusalem, when the peoples are gathered together,

and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD." (Psalms

102:18-22)

Then they all cried

again, saying, "Not this Man, but Barabbas!"" (John

18:39-40) "Then he releasedBarabbas for them; but

after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to

be crucified." (Matthew 27:26)


58/243

49

And it was through the selfless act of His death on

the cross, that His people were released from the

cycle of death. For "inasmuch then as the children

have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself

likewise shared in the same, that through death He

might destroy him who had the power of death, that

is, the devil, and release those who through fear of

death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."(Hebrews 2:14-15) And now we are released from

the Law which has bound us. "For now we have

been released from the Law, having died to that by

which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of

the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter." (Romans

7:6) Yet despite knowing the truth, only one of ahundred would follow His Way. For "from the heart

there radiate a hundred and one vital tracks. One of

them rises to the crown of the head. This wayleads to

immortality, the others to death." (Katha Upanishad)

And as the Son spoke of the Way to eternal life,

"what man among you, if he has a hundred sheep andhas lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in

the open pasture and go after the one which is lost

until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on

his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home,

he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying

to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep


59/243

50

which was lost!' I tell you that in the same way, there

will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who

repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who

need no repentance." (Luke 15:4-7)

Thus the Truth is the Way to eternal life. For as

Christ said of the Way, "Let not your heart be

troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In

My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not

so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for

you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will

come again and receive you to Myself; that where I

am, there you may be also. And where I go you

know, and the wayyou know." Thomas said to Him,

"Lord, we do not know where You are going, and

how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am

the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the

Father except through Me." (John 14:1-6)

The Hindu Prophecy


Completed April 2, 2010

Hindus consider this period of time to be the end of the Kali

Yuga or the "Dark Ages". And in this forsaken age, mankind

has degenerated and has fallen away from God. For as was

foretold "in the Kali Yuga, wealth alone will be the deciding

factor of nobility. And brute force will be the only standard or

deciding what is righteous or just. In that age, people will be

greedy. They will take to wicked behavior. They will be

merciless, indulge in hostilities without any cause,

unfortunate, extremely covetous for wealth and women. And

in theKali Yuga

, men will abandon their parents, brothers,friends, and relatives. They will occupy high seats and will

pretend to preach religion. And mortal beings will become

dull-minded, unlucky, voracious, destitute of wealth yet

voluptuous, and women, wanton and unchaste." (Puranas)

And the disciples prophesied of the coming of this age. For "it

is in the last days that you have stored up your

treasure! Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your

fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against

you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has

reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived

luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you

have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have

condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not


61/243

52

resist you." (James 5:3-6) "But realize this, that in the last

daysdifficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self,

lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to

parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable,

malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of

good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure

rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness,

although they have denied its power." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

And when evil and injustice rule, God shall return to establishHis righteousness upon the land. For "whenever there is

decay of righteousness... and there is exaltation of

unrighteousness, then I Myself come forth... for the

destruction of evil-doers, for the sake of firmly establishing

righteousness, I am born from age to age." (Bhagavad

Gita) And the Son shall execute His righteousness on the

land. For " 'behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD,

'when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken

concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In

those days and at that time I will cause a righteousBranch of

David to spring forth; and He shall execute justice and

righteousnesson the earth. In those days Judah will be saved

and Jerusalem will dwell in safety; and this is the name by

which she will be called: the LORD is our righteousness.' "

(Jeremiah 33:14-16)

And at His return, the Lord shall mount His white horse, and

He shall execute justice throughout the land. For as the Hindu

prophecy foretold:


62/243

53

The Lord of the universe, will mount His swift white horse

Devadatta and, sword in hand, travel over the earth exhibiting

His eight mystic opulences and eight special qualities of

Godhead. Displaying His unequaled effulgence and riding

with great speed, He will kill by the millions those thieves who

have dared dress as kings.

Bhagavata Purana

And as the book of Revelation also foretold, the Son of Man

shall mount His white horse and execute justice on those who

have forsaken His name.

Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He

who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in

righteousness He judges and mak
