Mission of Jesus Christ lectures by Yu.N. Lutsenko Jesus Christ, Brockhaus Bible Encyclopedia

Some contactees and seers claim that among earthlings there are aliens from other worlds who are carrying out insidious subversive work on our planet. And others from television screens assure us that they themselves arrived on Earth as representatives of highly developed civilizations of the Cosmos with a good goal - to save humanity, mired in sins and uncontrollably striving for its destruction.

Indeed, you look at what is happening around us, and you will inevitably agree that people, forgetting about common sense, about the highest universal principles, want to realize the old prophecy about the end of the world.

How likely is the possibility of the presence among people of people from other worlds - aliens, extraterrestrials? Not least important is the question of the possibility of the Second Coming of Christ, the likelihood of which is defended by some contactees and representatives of religion.

Or maybe there is something in this?

The inert, rational consciousness of a person tends to go to extremes (from militant materialism to obscurantist idealism). Avoiding extreme judgments, let's try together to find answers to these questions about aliens, including Christ, the messenger of the Universe. Naturally, my arguments will not convince everyone. It's unavoidable. Each person perceives the surrounding reality in their own way. And this individuality of perception gives rise to different interpretations and understandings of the same event, phenomenon. The wide range of political views on social processes in our country is a vivid example of this.

Two factors characterize the individuality of a person’s perception of surrounding events: intelligence (as the sum of knowledge, experience, their breadth, depth and spectrum) and spirituality (as a reflection of the highest form of thinking, which determines the direction of the use of intelligence).

Let's return to the aliens. Let's start with such a famous historical figure as Jesus Christ. At present, perhaps, there is no point in proving the reality of His existence; this is a generally accepted fact. No myth can become the basis for such a significant world phenomenon as the Christian religion, the number of adherents of which makes up a fifth of humanity.

The High Cosmic Essence was “sent” to Earth to bring to the consciousness of people the highest knowledge: what man is, what the Universe is and what the deep connection is based on, connecting man and Infinity into a single whole.

The ultimate goal of this action was supposed (through the perception of this higher knowledge) to save humanity from self-destruction.

Many researchers of the Holy Scriptures had great doubts about the very possibility of the unearthly origin of this person and the mechanism of his incarnation.

To understand how this could happen, it is necessary to consider the process of human birth and death.

A person is made up of three different bodies in structure and properties: a dense body (what we usually understand by the word man), a soul (the sphere of higher emotions) and a spirit (the sphere of our thinking). The soul and spirit form the so-called information structure of a person. It contains all of his life path(in fact, the entire evolutionary path of the Divine Monad from the world of minerals to man is recorded there), his habits, preferences, experience, knowledge, etc., that is, his complete information characteristics.

After the death of a person, his information structure, having separated from the dense body that played the role of a case for it, is located near the deceased for the first nine days (without completely losing connection with the body!). This information structure is usually located under the ceiling and monitors the funeral ceremony, after which it remains in the cemetery.

On the ninth day, the intermediate etheric body in which this information structure was stored (like in a plastic bag) disintegrates. As a result, the latter receives freedom of movement regardless of the location of the buried body.

Located during a person’s life in his dense body and being link Between it and the information structure, the etheric body plays the role of a kind of placenta, with which the fetus (information structure) is connected by an umbilical cord (the so-called silver cord).

The process of “birth” of the information structure—the spiritual essence of man—on the ninth day ends with the death, disintegration of the “placenta”—the etheric body and the “umbilical cord”—the silver cord.

This is what the process of a person’s death and the birth of his information structure—that which is his essence—looks like.

Forty days is a period of adaptation and stabilization of the entity that was previously human in completely new conditions. There, many habits, desires, as well as ideas about the world around us lose meaning.

According to the testimony of those who have been on the other side of earthly life and, after resuscitation, returned from the stage clinical death, the souls of the dead met in this Looking Glass the souls of friends and relatives who had previously passed on to another world. They surrounded the newcomer with care and attention so that he would not feel lonely and helpless in this new world for him.

After the adaptation period, on the fortieth day, these new inhabitants of the Looking Glass move to a certain energy level of existence for further existence. If in our earthly conditions we find friends and like-minded people by level of intelligence, then in Through the Looking Glass the determining factor is the level of spirituality, characterized by the frequency of spiritual vibrations.

It is this indicator that determines the direction of the transition of a person’s posthumous essence, his information structure, into the spheres of existence with the corresponding frequency of these vibrations into the so-called egregor.

The reflection of these otherworldly processes of migration of souls is expressed in the legends of hell, purgatory and paradise. Schematically, a parallel can be drawn with the corresponding floors of the astral world: lower, middle and upper.

The indicator of spirituality of an entity that was previously human is formed on Earth. It depends on the conscious direction of a person’s actions. Either he lives and creates for the common good, or he acts from selfish and base motives, coming into conflict with the Higher Principles of Nature and accordingly forming his negative karma (accumulating sins). That is why a person’s way of life, action and thinking is so important. This determines the conditions of his posthumous existence.

The complex, voluminous program of human evolution (more precisely, his Monad, which is located in each of us and is a particle of the Absolute) cannot be completed in one life cycle.

And after a certain period of time, determined by a number of factors, the information structure of the former earthling is reincarnated on Earth again and again: This process continues until the Monad completely completes the earthly cycle of evolution. Man is its last stage in the dense body.

How does incarnation happen? Approximately in the third month of pregnancy (the time difference can be quite large - from conception to birth), the information structure (soul and spirit) is infused into the fetus. From this moment on, it is spiritualized.

Sometimes, for one reason or another, spiritualization does not occur. In such cases, a person is born in appearance, but without signs of intelligence in the eyes, almost without emotions - just a body that absorbs and processes food - a complete idiot.

The act of immaculate conception for the Supreme Beings who oversee the development of humanity is a matter of technology. The process of fertilization (materialization) and the process of adding the necessary information structure do not present any difficulty for them. In the case of Christ, this information structure was not of earthly, but of higher cosmic origin.

Christ showed his awareness of ideological issues (about the essence of things) very early, which surprised and frightened those around him. In adulthood, having formed a group of disciples, He tried to convey to their consciousness that huge block of information of high spiritual frequency that was embedded in Him. Any information is characterized by a certain spectrum of spiritual vibrations, which determines the significance of its content; Higher knowledge has a very high frequency.

But what were the disciples of Christ like? It's unremarkable ordinary people, besides, they are not very literate. The words of Christ did not always find a response in the minds of the disciples, which (quite naturally) gave rise to doubts, hesitations, and unbelief in them. Up to the betrayal of the Teacher.

The large gap in the level of intelligence and, most importantly, in the level of spirituality between Christ and His disciples is “to blame” for the fact that the apostles were physically unable to correctly perceive and comprehend the voluminous block of knowledge of high spirituality that Christ offered them. The low background of spiritual vibrations of the apostles distorted the highest meaning of the Testaments of Christ. Therefore, Christianity is based on far from accurately perceived truths of the Higher Knowledge. The gap between the capabilities of Christ and His disciples was too great.

Under these conditions, Christ, despite all his efforts, could not fulfill the mission entrusted to Him in full. Sacrificing oneself is a last, desperate attempt to somehow save the situation, to leave a strong emotional mark in the minds of people about Himself and about the knowledge that He sought to convey.

In this regard, the mission was a success - the Christian Church was born.

The limited capabilities of his disciples after the departure of Christ turned them into fanatics, bringing to people... their own, individual understanding of the Testaments of Christ. Hence the discrepancies and well-known contradictions in the writings of the evangelists. “The Gospel is the teaching about Christ, and not the teaching of Khrist,” N. A. Berdyaev rightly noted.

I hope that those professing the Christian Idea will understand me correctly. I don't want to compromise this religion in any way. Like any other, bringing an understanding of the Higher Knowledge to humanity. There is only one truth. But there are many ways to understand it; it is too comprehensive.

Christianity played a huge role in the past. It occupies a worthy place today. But, hand on heart, we admit that in the history of Christianity (as in the history of other religions) there were dark pages: Crusades, bonfires of the Inquisition. At the beginning of the century, Christian priests blessed soldiers for the fratricidal war of Christians against Christians... In all this, distortions of the Testaments of Christ clearly manifested themselves.

Due to the incompleteness of the mission of Christ, the Higher Beings undertook a new action aimed at completing His program, At different periods modern history, mainly in the first millennium, high spirits were “landed” on the earth. They, unlike Christ, had to go through not one, but several earthly incarnations in order to fully adapt, get used to and reach the level of thinking of an ordinary earthling.

The inclusion of an individual "paratrooper" program occurred in different eras. This depended on the socio-historical situation and on the degree of readiness of the “paratrooper” himself to act in the specific prevailing conditions.

And they, already at the level of consciousness of the people around them, conveyed to them the highest truths. Higher knowledge is practically not perceived directly, so analogies, parables, etc. are needed.

Who are these “paratroopers”? These are people whose vision of the world around them, actions and educational activities ultimately led to major progressive changes on a universal human scale.

They were often perceived (and are perceived) as destroyers of obsolete traditions, misunderstood and persecuted during life, and reviled after death, for the depth of human ignorance is immeasurable.

You don't have to look far for examples. Let us remember E. Blavatsky, the Roerichs.

By the way, the “paratroopers” themselves not only do not know their colleagues exactly (they can guess). Often they are not aware of their own high origin and destiny, so deep is the adaptation achieved in several incarnational stages. Gradually they become more people than people themselves, with all their inherent advantages and disadvantages. Like all people, the intellectual and spiritual level achieved by the “paratrooper” at the time of disclosure and inclusion of the program plays a large role in the disclosure of their individual program and its implementation. Hence the inevitability possible errors and shortcomings in the implementation of the program, like any person.

The program, the block of information (taking into account the experience of Christ) is not revealed completely and not immediately, but gradually and carefully. So that again there is not a large gap between the “paratrooper’s” ability to convey and the ability of people to accept this information, and most importantly, to correctly interpret and comprehend it. In some cases, the matrix of the formed, revealed on initial stages block of information. And this matrix was introduced into the psychosphere (noosphere, information field) of the planet. Through it, she began to actively interact with the sphere of thinking of some people, whose consciousness was sufficiently prepared for this moment. This is how the process of “replication” of knowledge took place.

This was what is called intuitive findings, insight.

The time that passes from the introduction of the matrix into the psychosphere of the planet to the active manifestation of certain information in the rational consciousness of a person is from three to five years.

Aliens on Earth are also represented by the lower, astral plane (the so-called extraterrestrials). The existence in human history of such personalities as Torquemada, Stalin, Hitler confirms this.

And if people are tuned in to the frequency of good events... Everything is in the hands of a person, including his future.

So let's think and set ourselves up only for the good. Strive to connect your consciousness with the Higher principles. By doing this, you connect to the field of Mind of those Higher Beings who make so much effort to help humanity avoid a tragic ending. Try to see yourself in everyone and never wish for people what you don’t want for yourself.

No Messiah or Savior can help people if they themselves do nothing.

What will happen tomorrow depends not so much on conversations and even actions, but on the direction of our thinking.

And one last thing. There will be no Second Coming of Christ. This phenomenon was unique. And after completing his mission, He went forever into his spheres of Existence. IN as a last resort(if necessary) an imitation of the Coming of Christ is possible...

Our destiny depends on ourselves. You just need to follow the Higher Laws, eliminating evil and hatred within yourself.

The identity and mission of Yeshua of Nazareth (from Nazareth) is not clear-cut. In this article I expressed my personal opinion about him and his mission.

In order to find out what mission Yeshua ha-Nozri came to this earth with, you need to read as many ancient sources as possible that tell about Yeshua ha-Nozri. Some of the information about him is told to us by the books of the New Testament, which are included in the canon of the Bible. And even more information can be gleaned from "Apocrypha", - books that were rejected by Christian priests as not canonical or deuterocanonical.

For anyone who said or did anything that was not pleasing to Yeshua, he killed. Thus it was clear that There is a demonic entity in the body of this person.

Upon reaching a certain age, Mashiach went out to begin his dark business, for which he came to earth. And everything would have worked out for him if not for the Light Gods. They knew the plan of the Dark God and prevented the plans of the Mashiach sent by him - by entering the so-called “Great Light Wanderer” into the body of Mashiach.
The bright personality subjugated the demon, and used the body of Mashiach to preach to the Jews the acceptance of the Spirit as the third part of the component of a full-fledged person:
for whoever accepted the Spirit of Light sent from the Light Wanderer - conscience was born in him, and he became a full-fledged person with an immortal soul.
This was the goal of the Light Wanderer to destroy the plans of the forces of darkness and transform the majority of Jews into full-fledged people with an immortal soul.

Anthony Buzzard

In any system of knowledge there is a certain fundamental idea, a basic concept to which all other facts are subordinate. This main idea determines the nature of the entire phenomenon and gives a certain meaning to each of its aspects. The key concept, the main thesis, becomes the criterion by which supporting ideas are evaluated. The Christian faith has come to us in the Bible, a collection of documents that require us to react and act in a certain way. The source of the information presented in it is God Himself, Who conveyed His message through prophets and teachers, but, above all, through His main representative, the Messiah Jesus.

What is the fundamental doctrine of Jesus? What are the key messages in His Message? What idea underlies His preaching and teaching? What must a person learn who wants to follow Jesus?

The answer to this question can be found by anyone who is able to read the Bible, in any translation, and seeks to find out what Jesus really taught. The importance of the core idea of ​​Christianity, the gospel, was so inspiring to the New Testament writers that they emphasized it again and again.

An example of the incomprehensible loss of the foundation of teaching is the fact that the main message of Jesus is rarely heard in modern sermons, if not completely silent. It is surprising that the leaders of traditional Christianity themselves admit that the Gospel they preach is different from the Gospel that Jesus proclaimed.

A number of crucial passages spanning the period from the beginning of Jesus' ministry in Galilee to the death of Paul testify to an incredibly simple fact: the Bible knows only one gospel, intended for both Jew and Gentile. This is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God:

Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God and saying that the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent and believe in the Gospel. (Mark 1:14-15)

But when they believed Philip, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. (Acts 8:12)

And having appointed a day for him, many came to his hotel; and from morning to evening he expounded to them [the doctrine] about the Kingdom of God, bringing evidence and confirming them about Jesus from the law of Moses and the prophets. Some were convinced by his words, while others did not believe. (Acts 28:23, 24)

Therefore I charge you before God and our Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word... (II Tim. 4:1, 2)

Key idea of ​​Christianity

The three main witnesses to Jesus' ministry, Matthew, Mark and Luke, unanimously call Him an evangelist, a herald of God's Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Without fear of possible objections, we are ready to declare that the Kingdom of God was the axis around which the entire teaching of Jesus revolved.

Mark leads summary activity of Jesus. His public ministry began with the proclamation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. Arriving in Galilee, Jesus called on His countrymen to change their thinking—to repent—and to believe the Good News, the Gospel, of the Kingdom of God (Mark 1:14, 15). Thus, they had to join God's great plan to save mankind.

Luke emphasizes the great significance of the gospel of the kingdom. The first information that Luke reports about Jesus, after the birth of the Messiah is proclaimed, concerns the Kingdom of God: “And the Lord God will give him the throne of His father David; and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and his kingdom will have no end” (Luke 1:32, 33).

Every Jew understood perfectly well that this was about the enthronement of Jesus in the coming Kingdom of God. Jesus Himself gave a clear definition of the main purpose of His ministry: “But He said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities, for for this purpose I was sent” (Luke 4:43). These words help us to gain insight into the mind of Jesus and provide the necessary key to the whole Christian religion based on His teachings.

Luke then immediately tells us that Jesus preached “the word of God” (Luke 5:1). This is a shorthand term used by Luke (and the New Testament) for the Christian Message or Gospel of salvation. Matthew defines this Message when he writes that Jesus proclaimed “the word of the kingdom” (Matthew 13:19). Mark mentions simply “the word” (Mark 4:14).

In His famous parable, likening a sower to an evangelist who is faced with different reactions In his words, Jesus implies that the gospel should be deeply rooted in the heart of every person as vital information for him. The new convert who understands this Word is sent on a Christian journey whose goal is the Kingdom. There is nothing more important for our spiritual well-being than understanding this Message - the Good News of the Kingdom of God. According to Luke. 4:43 and Luke. 5:1, The message of the Kingdom and the “word of God” are equivalent concepts. “Message,” “word,” “gospel,” and “testimony” are terms used interchangeably. All further references to the “word” and “gospel” in the New Testament must be considered and interpreted in accordance with the most complete “original text” - the “Gospel of the Kingdom of God.” This approach gives harmony and coherence to the entire New Testament narrative, and also helps to connect it with the earlier revelation given in the Hebrew Bible. As John Bright noted:

The concept of the Kingdom of God essentially contains all biblical truth. Being clearly expressed in the teachings of Jesus, it appears in one form or another throughout the Bible... To understand the meaning of the Kingdom of God means to get as close as possible to the essence of the biblical Gospel of salvation29.

Spreading the gospel was of utmost importance to Jesus and His disciples, whom He chose as helpers: “And Jesus went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom...” (Matthew 4:23; 9:35). “And he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:2). He gave His followers the responsibility to carry the message of the Kingdom everywhere: “Let the dead bury their own dead, while you go and preach the Kingdom of God” (Luke 9:60).

Jesus told His followers that the primary purpose of their lives was to seek the kingdom of God: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God...” (Matthew 6:33). The kingdom should be a treasure for them to sacrifice everything else for (Matthew 13:44-46). You must make the kingdom the theme of your earnest prayer: “Thy kingdom come” (Matt. 6:10). Insight into God's Kingdom plan can only be achieved through the special gift that is given to those who sincerely follow Jesus and believe His teaching. However, this gift is not available to superficial disciples (Matt. 13:13-16).

The theme of the Kingdom was central to Jesus' conversations with his disciples after His death and resurrection. When the Lord appeared again to His chosen representatives, for almost six weeks He spoke to them “about the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3). IN last conversation, just before Jesus ascended into heaven, the disciples asked Him if the time had come for the restoration of the Kingdom (Acts 1:6).

What every believer needs to know

Luke gives us information that every convert to the Christian faith must hear and accept. This is a kind of early creed that succinctly conveys the main ideas of the Gospel: “But when they believed Philip preaching the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized” (Acts 8:12).

Philip in every way followed the example of Jesus Himself, who insisted on the necessity of faith in the Kingdom of God for salvation: “To everyone who hears the word of the Kingdom and does not understand, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart,” so that people “would not believe and be saved.” . Salvation was linked to the Messiah's promise of a great reward awaiting His disciples. They will help Him lead the new world, or the new age of the coming Kingdom: “You who have followed Me, in the future, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (see Matt. 19 :28; Luke 22:28-30). Before this, Jesus promised: “Do not be afraid, little flock! for it has been your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). By speaking to His audience, Jesus was essentially inviting His listeners to participate in the leadership of the Kingdom.

It is not surprising that Paul, who imitated Jesus in every way, called his ministry the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom (Acts 20:25). Luke constantly reminds us of what the apostles intended by the concept of “Gospel.” He reports that Paul preached for three months in the synagogue of Corinth “about the kingdom of God” (Acts 19:8). To leave no room for doubt or misunderstanding, Luke concludes his second work, the Book of Acts, with a description of Paul's activities in Rome. For two years Paul stayed in this city, “preaching the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ” (Acts 28:31). It was this gospel message of salvation that he addressed to both Jews and Gentiles (Acts 28:23, 28, 31).

The same Gospel of the Kingdom must be proclaimed throughout the world today to prepare people for the final establishment of the Kingdom on the Day of the Lord when Jesus returns in power to rule the earth. In the words of Jesus Himself: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world... and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14).

With such evidence—and in fact there is much more—those who are seriously engaged in the search for biblical truth will have no difficulty in discerning the basic idea underlying the Christian message of salvation. The Kingdom of God is undoubtedly the foundation of the preaching of Jesus and the apostles, the axis around which true Christianity revolves.

Unanimity of Scholars on the Purpose of the Messiah

The idea that the Kingdom of God was the main theme of Jesus' preaching and the purpose of His coming does not give rise to significant disagreement. “On this key point there is complete unanimity... It boils down to this: central theme Jesus' preaching and work was the Kingdom of God." The same author notes a strange fact: in the preaching of the Church after the time of the apostles, “the Kingdom of God was not given the main role.”

Many other eminent scholars confirm that the Kingdom Message was at the core of Jesus' teaching: "This term [Kingdom of God] is the starting point of His proclamation." John Sobrino writes:

Regarding the work of Jesus, it is an undeniable historical fact that the “Kingdom of God” was the fundamental idea of ​​His preaching, the concept that gave meaning to His entire ministry. The conclusions that follow from this are extremely important. They provide us with two keys to help us understand Jesus. First, Jesus admittedly did not place his own personality at the center of His teaching. As Karl Rahner put it, “Jesus preached the Kingdom of God, not Himself.”

Although Jesus did claim exclusivity and spoke about it more than once, His preaching was nonetheless Kingdom-focused. This thesis is confirmed by many prominent scholars: “The core of Jesus’ preaching was the Kingdom of God.”34 “According to the generally accepted opinion, the main place in the teaching of Jesus was the approach of the Kingdom of God.”

At the turn of two centuries, the British scholar Archibald Robertson, who lectured on the Kingdom of God, argued: “There is no doubt that in the teaching of our Lord the Kingdom of God is an indicative and comprehensive component, briefly conveying the purpose of his coming... Everywhere we see that his main the message was good news of the Kingdom.”

Well-known interpreters of the Bible unanimously affirm that the Kingdom of God is the fundamental idea of ​​the Christian religion: The Kingdom of God is the main theme of the teachings of Jesus, through which he refracted the understanding of his own personality and his ministry.

The Kingdom of God, in a certain sense, can be called great theme, uniting everything Holy Bible… The government of God flows from His sovereign nature. It was reflected in the command of dominion over the world, given first Adam. Later this right was lost by mankind due to sin. In Second Adam the right to dominion was legally restored. It will be realized on earth at the final stage of human history and will transcend history, rushing into eternity, when, in the words of John, “the throne of God and of the Lamb” will be established (Rev. 22:3). The biblical doctrine of the Kingdom of God contains the Christian philosophy of history38.

The New Testament is as driven by the dream of theocracy and the eschatological establishment of the Kingdom of God as the Old Testament.

Jesus' narrowing was centered around the exciting term "Kingdom of God." All other ideas are connected with it and illuminated by its light40.

The Kingdom of God was central to the teachings of Christ...The fundamental doctrines of Jesus naturally revolve around this key theme.

The Kingdom of God is the core that holds the various parts of Scripture together. John Reumann states: Ask one hundred New Testament scholars around the world, Protestant, Catholic, or non-Christian: what was the main Message of Jesus of Nazareth? The vast majority - perhaps all - would say that His message was centered around the Kingdom of God... Modern scholars are unanimous in this: The “Good News” Jesus proclaimed was about God and His Kingdom...

However, today, when we hear that Jesus proclaimed the Message of the Kingdom of God, this seems strange to us and immediately raises many questions for us... To the modern person who gets an impression of Jesus' teaching only from snatches of Sunday church sermons or from a quick glance at passages Bible, it may seem that the teachings of Jesus have no cohesive element. We see a sound thesis in one sermon, a ray of light in another, a piece of truth in another, but rarely is there an attempt to integrate the teachings of Jesus into a coherent whole... That is why it is so important to understand that Jesus had a basic doctrine, and that it was about the kingdom of God. It is this theme that unites all the words and actions of Jesus... The kingdom of God is the connecting element that determined everything that Jesus did and said. The Gospel of Mark, after a short prologue, immediately moves on to mentioning the good news, which sets the tone for the entire book42.

An Australian theologian emphasizes the primacy of the Kingdom for the preaching of the Gospel:

We can get rid of the naive judgment that the Gospel is separated from the Kingdom by following the biblical instructions: in the New Testament (especially in the Gospel writers) we see everywhere the “Gospel of the Kingdom”... The essence of the Kingdom is decisive, for it determines the essence of the salvation that Jesus brought , and the essence of the gospel we are to preach... The question is: what gospel are we preaching two minutes before midnight on the scale doomsday?.. Are we really unable to come to an agreement on this issue and are we not sure of the content of the Gospel that we are called to proclaim?

In light of these facts, it is difficult to see how Christ can be preached if His gospel of the kingdom is not explained to potential believers. Uncertainty about the content of the Gospel is nothing more than an acknowledgment of the chaos that reigns in the Church. As Paul stated, “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom. 10:17). “How can they believe in Him whom they have not heard,” he wrote (Rom. 10:14)44. He meant that the true gospel message of Jesus must be delivered by evangelists, representatives of the Messiah. According to Paul, the words of Jesus must reach the ears of a potential convert without distortion. He wrote to the people of Ephesus: “And [Jesus] came and preached peace to you, both far and near” (Eph. 2:17). To know Christ we must hear Him and learn from Him, “for the truth is in Jesus” (Eph. 4:20, 21). The apostles had never heard the now popular theory that the preaching of the historical Christ was intended only for Jews, and that the risen Christ brought a completely different message to the Gentiles! Once again we see how important it is to believe in the Jesus of history and build our faith on the Gospel that He preached.

On this issue the New Testament authors show complete unanimity. According to the author of Hebrews, the Christian gospel was originally preached by Jesus Himself and then passed on to subsequent generations by faithful witnesses of the same Kingdom Message (Heb. 2:3). John warned of the danger of such people appearing who would distort “the teaching of Christ” (II John 7-9). Paul insisted on the need to follow “the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ” (I Tim. 6:3). There is complete consensus that main goal Jesus was preaching the Kingdom of God. However, in our time, people who claim to adhere to the Gospel proclaimed by Jesus say practically nothing about the Kingdom! There is clearly no logic here. One cannot be a disciple of Christ without accepting His teaching, namely the Message of the Kingdom. Many people create confusion by claiming that “the Gospel is Christ.” They do not seem to study the accounts of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which clearly show that Jesus was declaring an objective reality other than Himself. This was the Gospel of God His Father: “Whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s sake will save it” (Mark 8:35).

In Scripture there is a subject of preaching, Christ, and a clearly defined object. Jesus was not a silent crucified Savior (although his death is of great significance). He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus without His teaching is not Jesus at all! A Jesus separated from His Jewish heritage and from His roots in the books of the Hebrew prophets is not the Jesus of history. Without proper instruction, converts will picture thousands of pictures of Jesus in their minds. Therefore, it is very important that the thinking of Christians be rooted in the Bible and in the words of Jesus Himself.

Elisabeth Achtemeier feels that modern Christian sermons lacking a key element:

One of the fundamental ideas of the New Testament, which the average churchgoer rarely hears these days, is the proclamation of the coming Kingdom. God's Jesus Christ. All the major theological writings of the Old Testament are permeated with the idea of ​​the kingdom... The prophets foreshadowed the era of the kingdom, and at the same time the era of judgment, exile and a new exodus (Isa. 52:11-12). They wrote about wanderings in the wilderness (Isa. 48:20-21), about entering the renewed promised land (Ezek. 34:25-31), where Israel will live in loyalty to God and in complete security, having entered into a new contractual relationship with God (Jer. 31:31-34), about the light of Israel, which will attract all nations (Isa. 60:1-3; 56:6-8). Israel hoped for the coming kingdom and anticipated its arrival in its worship (Ps. 46:95-98). Throughout most of the Old Testament he looks forward to its establishment.

It should not be forgotten that the true gospel of Jesus “is almost unheard of by the average churchgoer these days.”

Sir Anthony Buzzard

Kingdom of heaven on earth. The Forgotten Christianity of the Jew Jesus.

It is believed that Catholics are the people of Christmas, and Orthodox Christians are the people of Easter. And no one is considered people of the Transfiguration, Baptism or Pentecost. Meanwhile, Christ came not for the sake of Christmas and not for the sake of Easter. He came to create the Church, not to put on flesh and then crucify it.

Psychologically, for us, Easter is the finale of our spiritual year. Easter cuts off the spiritual year for us, and it begins and repeats again. And we live from Easter to Easter.

After the Resurrection, we allow ourselves to move away from strict fasting. But not for long. Soon after Easter, the Gospel of the Paralytic is read in church and a sermon is heard that after the relaxation of several post-Easter weeks, it is time to come to your senses and re-engage in the work of God.

It is assumed that post-Easter joy is a state of rest and idleness, which is awarded to all who have passed the test of fasting. And fasting itself is ordinary everyday work and the meaning of our earthly life. Fasting and work are the norm. And joy and freedom are the prize. And it is also assumed that freedom and joy are dangerous things in the matter of salvation, since no one really knows how to use freedom, and joy can be the cause of spiritual relaxation. And therefore joy is joy, and fasting and humility are more reliable.

But here we need to stop and take a closer look at what we consider important and what God considers important in the matter of our salvation. What is our joy for God and what is our dejection with fasting for God? And what for God is our understanding of Easter as the most important event in Christian history.

Christ's mission did not end with His Resurrection. Easter is only half the story. Until Trinity, Christ remained somewhere close to people and did something for people and God. After Easter, he said: “I am going to my Father,” and did not say that he had already “gone away.”

Jesus says: Do not touch Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; But go to My brothers and say to them: I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.

This means that Easter was not the end of Christ’s earthly life.

The finale of Christ's mission was Pentecost. By a strange coincidence, Trinity and Ascension are in the shadow of Easter and in terms of the degree and scale of the celebrations they cannot be compared with Easter. How so? Why did we stop halfway? It's like reaching the middle of a mountain, losing interest in climbing to the top and turning down.

In general, we perceive the life of Christ on earth very strangely. There is nothing surprising. We are not the only ones who see the mission of Christ somehow differently from what the Lord expects from us. The apostles wanted to prevent Christ from being crucified. They communicated with Jesus for three years, and for them His Resurrection became a revelation.

For us Christmas is very big celebration. And Baptism is less. And the Transfiguration is even less significant. Meeting is even smaller. Of course, a measure cannot measure infinity. All holidays are equal, but it just so happens that they are not equal. This is because we, like the apostles, do not fully understand Christ’s plan for our salvation and the meaning of His economy.

For example, for us Good Friday is the worst and most tragic day of the church year. For Christ, Friday evening is the best day of His earthly life, because He no longer had earthly life. About two o'clock in the afternoon, God the Son returned to the monastery of the Trinity to His Father.

At Christmas, Jesus was the most distant from heaven and was bound hand and foot by the powerless flesh of an infant. At Golgotha, the Lord threw off our earthly body and became free, as he had never been free during all his thirty-three years of mission.

For us, the finale is Easter. But for God it is only current work to destroy the chains of death that bound man from the Fall until Easter. In the time before the Resurrection, Christ carried out work to free man from sin and the bonds of the flesh. This is part of the work that the Lord has done under the earth and on the earth. After Easter, work remained on earth and in heaven. Its meaning is to connect a person to heaven.

We are earthly. Therefore, the first part of the work is clear to us and its results are close.

We are earthly, so everything heavenly is difficult for us to understand, and therefore Ascension and Pentecost are difficult for us to understand. Meanwhile, this will probably be the most important thing - the restoration of our heavenly relationship with God. This is the re-creation of man by God by grace, through union with the nature of the Godhead through the Holy Spirit.

The form of testing a person during the “earthly” and “heavenly” work of the Lord is interesting. Before Easter, we test ourselves and prepare for it by the suppression of the flesh. There is no fasting after Easter. And the Lord will test us with freedom and joy, preparing us to receive the Holy Spirit. It is surprising that God gives man the Spirit not after Lent, when, it would seem, the most convenient time for this, but when the effect of fasting is smoothed out by the fifty-day joy of Easter. In fact, the Holy Spirit cannot enter a soul depressed by fasting. The spirit needs a soil of joy and freedom.

It's like with wounds. The doctor cleans them first. Then he applies medications and only after some time is he allowed to put stress on the body. Tests cannot be immediately imposed on wounds of the soul that are open and cleansed by fasting. They should tighten.

God attracts man with everything available means. On Last Judgment He can tell us:

– What else did you need? I gave you a post and you complained. I gave you abundance and you turned it into sin? What did you need? And what did I not give you? I gave you freedom and you hurt yourself. I bound you, and you blamed Me for keeping you safe.

But to whom shall I compare this generation? He is like children who sit on the street and, turning to their comrades, say: we played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; We sang sad songs to you, and you did not cry.

Great Lent and post-Easter joy are a complete set of means by which God could draw us to Himself. Everything that God could give us, He gave for one purpose, for which Christ came.

The meaning of the birth of God on earth is the creation of the Church. As soon as the Church was created, Christ became invisible and ascended to heaven completely. We still have a hub with heaven - the Church. The essence of the Church is that it is the body of Christ incarnate on earth. Our connection with God is through the Holy Spirit, within this Church.

And now the most important thing for us. Easter took a thorn out of the world. The world after Easter became completely different. Another sky. Other people. Another nature. The world was prepared and received the Holy Spirit. Each of us had to go through all these paths, just as the apostles received the Holy Spirit.

Now, in the post-Easter time, we renew our vows with God and again ask Him to remind our souls of the grace of the descent of the Holy Spirit into our hearts.

In the old Komsomol times, I remember, everything was ours student hostel laughed at one unlucky fellow student who was pregnant and was afraid to sleep through childbirth. But the descent of the Holy Spirit into our soul is an event a thousand times more significant than childbirth. There was no way to sleep him through. Either it was there or it wasn’t.

Or we, like the apostles Luke and Cleopas, once exclaimed: “Didn’t our heart burn!” Either we got lost somewhere between Easter and Trinity and have no idea about the burning of the heart and how the heart lives with the Holy Spirit, how it yearns at His loss. This means that we have never experienced the peace based in heaven, which is born only in the mother Church. This is a special amazing state and the feeling that everything is in its place, arranged by God in the best way for us and is under His protection and blessing. Being in the Church is an amazing feeling of being in God, in His body and spirit. Without the Body of Christ - the Church, the fullness of life in God is generally impossible.

If for us the action of the Holy Spirit on our soul seems unnecessary for communication with God and “normal life,” then for us that for which Christ came and for which we put on the cross did not happen—the descent of the Holy Spirit. If the existence of the Church seems unnecessary for modern man who has God in his soul and who himself is able to communicate with God, without any churches and priests, then before us the mission of Christ turned out to be completely meaningless - the creation of a special union of God and man - the Church.

The creation of the Church is what Jesus was born for, for which He was brought to the temple at Candlemas, for which He was baptized in the Jordan, transfigured on Tabor, crucified, descended into hell and destroyed its chains, resurrected and ascended. The end of the church year is Trinity.

And the Gospel reading about the paralytic is read not so that we repeat the work of fasting and again begin to depress the body, but so that we do not forget about the goal Christian life- reunification with God through the unique organism of this new union - the Church.

We have overcome an important height on the way to the pinnacle of Christian life - life in the Holy Spirit. We have tested our souls in the crucible of the passions of fasting. Now until Pentecost she will be tested in freedom. Because freedom is an attribute of God. Without the test of freedom, we cannot become like God and cannot be full citizens of heaven, who differ from us in the ability to use freedom for good.

Let us be careful in this test. Freedom in God is freedom from sin. This is the freedom of love. This is ours conscious choice life in God. During Great Lent, the good Christian was cleansed of most of his sins. The joy of Easter cauterized the remaining ulcers of the soul, healing them with the new medicine of grace. And now we have fifty days to check our body temple, put it in order, clean it and make it a worthy dwelling place for God.

The relaxation that the Gospel reminds us of is the relaxation of our soul, which has wrongly replaced Easter joy with the joy of eating Easter cakes, cottage cheese, meat and drinking wine. After His Resurrection, Christ certainly did not eat eggs and Easter cakes. For Christ, Easter was not about songs and Easter cakes. Where He wandered alone after the Resurrection, only the Father knows. What kind of business he had on this Resurrection is unknown. But it certainly wasn’t breaking the fast with eggs and wine. Definitely not a trip to visit relatives and guests. Definitely not the ringing of bells or diocesan round dances.

But it is known for sure that He prepared the structure of the Church and created each of us his own special personal abode. How it happened, most likely, we will never know. God does not need us to know these matters of Divine construction. Only one thing is important to Him - that we know His purpose of coming into the world, which is to unite with the Lord through the Holy Spirit. His goal is to create for himself a new people of God.

Thus says the Lord: I will take you from among the nations, and gather you from all the lands, and will bring you into your own land. And I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be cleansed from all your uncleanness, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My commandments, and to keep and fulfill My judgments. And settle in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.

And more from today’s Gospel about Thomas:

Jesus said to them a second time: Peace be with you! just as the Father sent Me, so I send you.
Having said this, he blew and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit.

The resurrected Jesus appeared not so much to convince the Apostle Thomas, but mainly for the sake of this most important breath that anticipated Pentecost. On this day the apostles first encountered this new reality life in God through the acceptance of the Holy Spirit and...were not ready. After forty-three days, the Lord will repeat the attempt to bestow the Comforter Spirit on the disciples, and it will be successful.

Forgive us, Lord, and our previous weakness. It didn’t work out right away for the apostles either. Bear with us. Increase our strength, and we will increase our Christian labors for the sake of assimilating Your breath.

Christmas people? Easter people? No, all Christians are people of the Trinity or Pentecost.

The Christian year does not end with Easter. Christmas is just the beginning of Christ's journey. The finale of Christ's life is Pentecost. And our final life is death in the flesh and birth in the Spirit, which lasts our entire life from baptism to personal Transfiguration, Easter, Ascension and personal Pentecost.

In this article we will figure out what the mission was and life of jesus christ , look and perspective . Jesus Christ is a man born on the planet by the Virgin Mary the Mother of God (the incarnation of the current Mother of planet Earth). It was not the defective conception that the Spirit of Jesus as the representative of man from solar system contained and physically expressed a fragment of the Spirit of a high being of the Lord of the Hierarchy of the 5th race Christ to fulfill your mission. He also contained part of the Spirit of the Solar Father of that solar system from which his Spirit came into incarnation. Jesus physically manifested 3 versions of the Spirit. This is what he seemed, and people perceived him as Son of God . Mary the mother of Jesus was raised in special conditions she, as a mother, had to accept the Spirit of a very highly trained student from the solar system. And in order to give birth to such a Spirit, a woman had to be prepared both physiologically and spiritually. The High Spirit attracts only a prepared body. Mary was prepared for a long time and taught in a special school; Joseph, the father of Jesus, also had a high level of student training and was not a simple carpenter, as it is written in the Bible.

Life of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus grew up, he received an education and began to realize his initiations; he was led through life by the head of the Hierarchy and the Solar Father, so that he would fulfill his mission and task. Jesus has already come with dedication Solar Adept , the next initiation he earned as Teacher during his life, having fulfilled his mission entrusted to him by the Solar Father, who the Father is can be read in this . Which allowed him to become one of the seven Ray Teachers of the entire Hierarchy of the planet. Until the age of 33, he prepared himself for this performance. Jesus was of royal line and blood. At the age of 12 he preached sermons Pharisees and they revered and respected him at that age. Clearly he was a man of noble birth, carrying something very important, and this clearly made him stand out among the people of that time.Jesus reached the fulfillment of his mission when the Solar Father and the head of the Hierarchy of the Planet instructed him to acquire new human opportunities for all humanity of that era. And this Soul and onwards Mental Cup, which is called Holy Grail. And so that his body could accept the concentrated Spirit, he engaged in various practices. He developed and built himself up in many areas of improving both the physical body and the subtle world. By this he accumulated not a planetary Will, but a higher one. Will is accumulated by action. The nature of these actions must be deep, wise, focused on acquiring the Soul and the Holy Grail, new era . And such a highly developed person could not fit into that society of people. The external conditions that unfolded around Jesus are a consequence of those internal emanations (radiations) that he unfolded and expressed, carrying to other people, awakening them to the awareness of the new Will of the Father. Jesus, coming at the beginning of the 5th race, taught people to accept this Will as laws for life in the form 10 Commandments of Jesus Christ.

Jesus spoke “Not my Will, but yours Father” . He could have freely escaped crucifixion, but when he accepted the Father's Will in Garden of Gethsemane At some point, Jesus twitched his body, got scared, doubted humanly and said the following phrase:

39. And going a little further, he fell on his face and prayed and
said: Father My! if it is possible, let him pass from me
this cup; however, not as I want, but as You want.

In order for the body to accept it and withstand the entry of the Soul and the Chalice at the crucial moment. Roughly speaking, his body had to be nailed down. But having entered into the acceptance of the very deep Will of the Father, I was able to take the fire of the Father directly, which formed in him Holy Grail. This is a powerful physical and bodily impact of the entry of fire into the body at the dawn and beginning of the fifth race.

The first to enter something new, he always experiences greater difficulties and difficulties than those who follow him. This is where the law comes into play. “If one person could take it, then it was given to everyone”. At that time, none of the people had a Soul and a Cup. The Soul, entering the body of Jesus Christ, was fixed in the chest area, then the Cup entered behind the Soul through the head during the crucifixion and was also fixed in the chest. These events are described in the bookJesus, by his training, mastered physical world,subtle world And world of fire he accumulated Spirit, Light, Energy and even fire in his nutria Holy Grail .

Holy Grail helps a person synthesize his thought, there is no cup, a person does not develop his thought, there is no environment for this, and the environment must be fiery. And as a result of this, he had unique abilities. In fact, Jesus Christ did not die on the cross, but he entered into a certain condition (this is what yogis do in India, and he was there). You can read about this in the book . This is a confirmation of Jesus' 17-year journey through the East. He was taken down from the cross and wrapped in a shroud. After 2-3 days he recovered and during this time a new subtle body was formed and with this body he passed through the shroud, leaving a light imprint subtle body Christ as his appearance and countenance.The origin of his face comes from the light of the subtle world of the fifth race, and not from the physical world. A strong radiation and radiance of light came from his body, it was so powerful that the women who met him at the exit of the cave he said “Don't touch me” for they could be burned by a higher new materiality than these women had.With his Soul and Chalice he brought people to the true five-racial standard of the Father.The apostles recorded Jesus' sayings and words such as:

“Merge with the Heavenly Father with all your Heart, Soul, and Mind”

These words tell us about the threefold structure of a person, which a real person of the 5th race should have. Jesus Christ, after his complete restoration, went to live in the region of Pakistan and India under a different name and status.Jesus, having fulfilled his mission, gave impetus and the beginning of the development of all five races of humanity.

In conclusion, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is like an execution with torment, suffering and deprivation if you look at it externally. The deeper meaning is that a person can be transformed and change by entering something new without torment, suffering, without pain, without loss, without death.The Way of Christ - this is not to come to the cross and crucify yourself, but the meaning TRANSFORMATION And CHANGE . Transformation in a modern civilizational way is the Path of Christ for everyone who has taken his path. Overcoming the old and entering the new.

To enter the new you need to change.

What does it mean to change?

It is necessary to free yourself from old attachments and habits, look at your life differently, rethink it and see that the Father gives us more than we accept. By breaking old habits one can enter into new opportunities, but new opportunities will come from old talents.

Refuse- it means to get rid of it. To reconsider with different meanings, approaches, you need to stop acting in the old way, but embrace a new path, and this is where difficulty arises for many. When we do not accept new conditions, opportunities, we seem to fall out of the Father, we are alienated from him and we go our own way as best we can, but without the Father. All people are led and developed by the Father and the Lords of the Hierarchy; through fixation of fire at the Hum point in the center of the chest, we learn to live fire in the new era of the 6th race.

The officially recognized story of the life of Jesus Christ, which we all know, is not the story that actually happened. Evidence of this is recorded as records in the information field of the planet, bearing the true events and facts of what was happening at that time. And they do not depend on what humanity writes about it in books. The place of Jesus Christ's crucifixion was not where it is shown now. This is a necessary measure Holy place You can’t trample with ladle. Different interpretations and translations of texts gradually distorted this historical fact.Our scientists and historians are gradually coming to this conclusion; you can watch this in the film Forgotten Jerusalem from a series of films New Chronology Hoax A.T.Fomenko, G.V.Nosovsky . This is said and confirmed by the Lords of the Hierarchy.
