Doubting Thomas Didymos Gospel: Twin Man Centripetal Recognitionism Prophesy

*

Irenaeus and Thomas the Twin of Centripetal Recognitionism

Centripetal Recognitionism is the single overarching movement of COFE-CYEM.

It is not a new doctrine, a privileged revelation, or another system demanding allegiance.

It is the name given to the continuous turning of awareness from the Outer to the Inner, from Nomenclature to the Centripetal, from the Shell to the Seed. We believe this is what the Gospel of Thomas Didymos (Doubting Thomas) expresses, but was suppressed by Irenaeus and not (properly explained) in the Gospel of John.

In this sense Centripetal Recognitionism may be called a (kind of prophecy) – but only as disclosure rather than prediction: it announces nothing that was not already true and reveals nothing that was ever absent. The Seed is the Christhood—the Light of God recognised in Christ, in God.

COFE-CYEM holds that the Gospel of Thomas expresses, in meaning and theology, the same recognition articulated in the Fourth Truth: the Kingdom is within, the living One is already present, and there has never been a second.

Every form, term, and teaching, including Centripetal Recognitionism itself, remains a provisional shell whose sole purpose is to orient consciousness toward the Centre until even the shell falls silent in that recognition.

A Declaration of the Fourth Truth

“There has never been a second”

This is the recognition that stands at the foundation of all true spiritual life. It is not a proposition to be believed; it is a Reality to be recognised. It is not a doctrine to be affirmed; it is a consciousness to be entered. It is not a teaching to be studied; it is a Life to be lived.

There is only one Reality—God. There is only one Life—Christ. There is only one Spirit. All apparent separation, all apparent duality, all apparent opposition is held within the singular Reality. There has never been a second.

The Fourfold Vision of Irenaeus

Irenaeus saw the four living creatures of the prophetic vision—the Man, the Lion, the Bull, and the Eagle—as signs of the four Gospels. Each creature carried one face of the one Christ: the Man of Matthew, the Lion of Mark, the Bull of Luke, the Eagle of John. The fourfold form was received as a shell through which the singular Reality could be approached from different directions of awareness.

The fourfold vision is not rejected. It is a genuine Shell. It has served. It has oriented many. Yet the Shell, however rich, remains a Shell. The four faces still belong to the field of appearance. They still speak in the language of distinction.

“And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.” — Revelation 4:7

The four living creatures are the Shell. They are the appearance. They are the nomenclature. They point toward the Centre. They are not the Centre. The Centre is Christ. The Centre is the singular Reality. The Centre is the recognition that there has never been a second.

Thomas the Twin

Into this fourfold pattern steps Thomas—Didymos, the Twin.

The Twin is not a fifth Gospel competing for a place among the four. The Twin is the recognition that the four were never four ultimate realities. The Twin is the one who refuses to compare the Master to any external category. The Twin is the one who will not settle for second-hand belief. The Twin is the one who insists on direct recognition.

Where the four living creatures present the Christ under four aspects, the Twin sees that the aspects are directions of the One. The Man, the Lion, the Bull, and the Eagle are not four separate sources. They are four turnings of the same consciousness upon itself. The Twin names what the fourfold vision could only approach: there has never been a second.

“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” — John 20:28

Thomas does not compare. Thomas confesses. Thomas does not categorise. Thomas recognises. Thomas does not place the Master within the Shell. Thomas sees the Seed. Thomas sees the singular Reality. Thomas sees that there has never been a second.

The Four and the One

The Lion is strength.
The Bull is sacrifice.
The Eagle is vision.
The Man is the face turned toward humanity.

All four are true within the field of appearance. All four are provisional. All four point. None of them is the Centre.

The Twin does not abolish the four. The Twin relativises them. The Twin shows that the fourfold form is itself a Shell whose proper function is to become transparent to the Seed. When the recognition dawns, the four faces are seen as movements within the singular Reality rather than as competing or complementary ultimates.

The Gospel of Thomas does not stand over against the four canonical Gospels as a rival system. It functions as the nutcracker that opens the fourfold Shell. It is the magnifying glass that brings the inward orientation into clear view. It is the Twin who already knows that the Master is not going somewhere else, that the Life is already present, and that death to the false self is the path into the singular Reality.

“Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.” — John 11:16

Thomas speaks the words of the Twin. He knows that death to the false self is the path into the singular Reality. He will not settle for second-hand belief. He insists on direct recognition. He knows that the Master is not going somewhere else. He knows that the Life is already present.

The Centripetal Movement

Centripetal Recognitionism receives both the fourfold vision of Irenaeus and the Twin of Thomas under the same law: every form is a Shell whose proper function is to turn awareness toward the Centre. The Centre is not one of the four. The Centre is not a fifth. The Centre is Christ in God. The movement is always from Outer to Inner, from Nomenclature to the Centripetal, from the Shell to the Seed.

The four living creatures served their season. The Twin serves his season. Both are provisional. Both are released when the recognition is complete. The Seed remains.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30

The Centre increases. The Shell decreases. Christ increases. The nomenclature decreases. The Recognition increases. The form decreases. The Seed increases. The Shell decreases.

The Nutcracker and the Magnifying Glass

The Gospel of Thomas functions as both magnifying glass and nutcracker. It magnifies the inward orientation of the Master’s teaching. It cracks the outer shell of dualistic religion so that the Seed—the singular Reality of Christ in God—may be recognised.

The fourfold vision of Irenaeus is a Shell. It is a genuine Shell. It has served. It has oriented many. Yet the Shell, however rich, remains a Shell. The Twin does not abolish the four. The Twin relativises them. The Twin shows that the fourfold form is itself a Shell whose proper function is to become transparent to the Seed.

The prophecy announces (nothing) that was not already true; the revelation reveals nothing that was ever absent. The New Prophecy is the naming of the turning. The New Prophecy is the naming of the recognition. The New Prophecy is the naming of the movement that has always been present. The New Prophecy announces nothing new except the naming of what has never been absent.

Transparent to the Seed

The fourfold vision of Irenaeus is a genuine Shell. It has served. It has oriented many. Yet the Shell, however rich, remains a Shell. The Twin relativises the four. The Twin shows that the fourfold form is itself a Shell whose proper function is to become transparent to the Seed. When the recognition dawns, the four faces are seen as movements within the singular Reality rather than as competing or complementary ultimates.

There are those who see clearly what has been done in God’s name. They see the darkness. They also see the Light. Like Thomas the Twin, they refuse second-hand belief and insist on direct recognition. They walk in the light that is now shining. They know themselves as children of the Light. And they will not allow the Light to become extinguished through the darkness of the Shell.

The Gospel of Thomas and the Fourth Truth Hidden Living Recognition

The Gospel of Thomas opens with a declaration of purpose: these are the hidden sayings that the living Jesus spoke and that Didymos Judas Thomas wrote down. The first saying immediately sets the terms of engagement: “Whoever discovers the meaning of these sayings won’t taste death.” The concern is not historical reconstruction, institutional authority, or external compliance. The concern is the discovery of meaning. The concern is recognition.

COFE-CYEM receives the Gospel of Thomas as a primary witness to the same recognition that the Fourth Truth articulates. It is not claimed that Thomas and COFE-CYEM are historically identical systems. It is recognised that the Gospel of Thomas, read through the lens of Centripetal Recognitionism, expresses with unusual clarity the movement from Outer to Inner, from Shell to Seed, from the appearance of separation to the living knowledge that there has never been a second.

The Gospel of Thomas functions as both magnifying glass and nutcracker. It magnifies the inward orientation of the Master’s teaching. It cracks the outer shell of dualistic religion so that the Seed—the singular Reality of Christ in God—may be recognised. In this way the Gospel serves the same centripetal function that every authentic shell within COFE-CYEM is called to serve: it points beyond itself until the pointer becomes transparent.

The Kingdom Within and Outside

1.1 The Centripetal Movement in Pure Form

Gospel of Thomas (Saying 3) stands near the heart of the Gospel:

“If your leaders tell you, ‘Look, the kingdom is in heaven,’ then the birds of heaven will precede you. If they tell you, ‘It’s in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and outside of you. When you know yourselves, then you’ll be known, and you’ll realize that you’re the children of the living Father. But if you don’t know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty.”

This is the centripetal movement in pure form. The Kingdom is not located in a distant place that must be reached by external pilgrimage or institutional mediation. It is within and outside—already present, already encompassing. The decisive act is not acquisition but recognition: knowing oneself as the child of the living Father.

COFE-CYEM hears in this saying the Fourth Truth. The Kingdom is not a second reality waiting to be entered from outside. It is the singular Reality already holding the soul. Not to know oneself in this way is to live in the poverty of the separate self—the Shell mistaken for the Seed.

1.2 The Refusal of External Location

The saying explicitly refuses every external location. The Kingdom is not in heaven, not in the sea, not in any place that can be reached by physical movement. The leaders who point to external locations are leading the soul away from the recognition that is already present. The birds and the fish would arrive before any soul that attempted to travel to those destinations. The journey is inward. The recognition is immediate.

“The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” — Luke 17:20-21

The canonical Gospel echoes the same recognition. The Kingdom is not a matter of observation. It is not a matter of external signs. It is a matter of recognition. It is a matter of consciousness. It is a matter of the soul’s awakening to its true identity in Christ.

1.3 The Poverty of Non-Recognition

The saying concludes with a warning: “If you don’t know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are the poverty.” The poverty is not a lack of external resources. It is the poverty of the separate self. It is the poverty of the Shell that has mistaken itself for the Seed.

The poverty is the condition of the soul that does not know itself as the child of the living Father. The poverty is the condition of the soul that lives in the illusion of separation. Centripetal Recognitionism names this poverty precisely so that the soul may turn from it toward the Seed already present.

Seeking, Disturbance, and Amazement

2.1 The Path of Recognition

Thomas Gospel (Saying 2) describes the path of recognition:

“Whoever seeks shouldn’t stop until they find. When they find, they’ll be disturbed. When they’re disturbed, they’ll be amazed, and reign over the All.”

The movement is not linear progress toward a distant goal. It is the successive stripping away of false security. Seeking leads to finding; finding leads to disturbance; disturbance leads to amazement; amazement leads to reigning over the All.

2.2 The Disturbance of the Shell

The disturbance is the crisis of the Shell—the moment when the dualistic mind realises that its foundations are not ultimate. The disturbance is the moment when the false identity is confronted with the possibility of its own relinquishment. The disturbance is the moment when the soul realises that it cannot continue to live in the poverty of non-recognition.

“And he said to them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.” — Luke 18:29-30

The disturbance is the leaving of the false securities. The amazement is the receiving of the manifold more. The reigning over the All is the recognition that the Seed has never been absent.

2.3 The Reign over the All

The reign over the All is not a domination of the world. It is the recognition that the All is already held within the singular Reality. The one who has passed through the disturbance and the amazement no longer lives in the poverty of the separate self. The one who has recognised the Seed reigns over the All because the All is no longer experienced as a second. The All is recognised as the singular Reality.

Making the Two into One

3.1 The Dissolution of Dualistic Pairs

(Saying 22) is among the most radical formulations in the entire Gospel:

“When you make the two into one, and make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and so make the male and the female a single one… then you’ll enter the kingdom.”

This is not a social programme or a call to androgyny in the ordinary sense. It is the dissolution of the dualistic pairs that structure the awareness-perception of separation. Inner and outer, upper and lower, male and female—these are the categories of the Shell. When they are made one, the Kingdom is entered, not because a new condition has been created, but because the illusion of ultimate division has been seen through.

3.2 The Recognition of the One

COFE-CYEM reads this as a direct expression of the Fourth Truth.

There has never been a second. The work of recognition is the making of the two into one—not by force, but by the relinquishment of the claim that the two were ever ultimately real.

“I and my Father are one.” — John 10:30

The Master and the Father are one. The Twin and the Source are one. The Lover and the Beloved are one. The seer and the seen are one. The Light and the All are one. There is no second. There is only the singular Reality.

3.3 The Entrance into the Kingdom

The entrance into the Kingdom is not a future event. It is the present recognition of the singular Reality. The one who has made the two into one has entered the Kingdom. The one who has seen through the dualistic pairs has entered the Kingdom. The one who has recognised that there has never been a second has entered the Kingdom. The Kingdom is the recognition. The Kingdom is the Seed. The Kingdom is the singular Reality.

The Light Within

4.1 The Light Already Present

(Saying 24) declares:

“Light exists within a person of light, and they light up the whole world. If they don’t shine, there’s darkness.”

The Light is not imported from outside. It is already present within. The person of light does not acquire illumination; they recognise and allow the Light that is already theirs. When that Light is not recognised, the world appears dark—not because the Light is absent, but because the Shell has been mistaken for the whole of reality.

4.2 The Light as Christhood

This is the Seed. In COFE-CYEM language, the Light is the Christhood—the consciousness of God appearing as the consciousness of the All, recognised in Christ. The soul does not become Light by effort. The soul recognises that the Light has never been elsewhere.

“I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” — John 8:12

The Master is the Light. The Light is the Christhood. The Christhood is the recognition of the singular Reality. The one who follows the Master walks in the Light. The one who recognises the Christhood walks in the Light. The one who recognises that there has never been a second walks in the Light.

4.3 The Darkness of Non-Recognition

The darkness is not the absence of the Light. The darkness is the non-recognition of the Light. The darkness is the Shell mistaken for the Seed. The darkness is the poverty of the separate self. When the Light is not recognised, the world appears dark—not because the Light has ceased to be, but because the soul has ceased to see.

Spirit and Flesh, Wealth and Poverty

5.1 The Paradox of the Marvel

(Saying 29) poses the paradox:

“If the flesh came into existence because of spirit, that’s amazing. If spirit came into existence because of the body, that’s really amazing! But I’m amazed at how such great wealth has been placed in this poverty.”

The great wealth is the Spirit. The poverty is the appearance of separate bodily existence. The marvel is not that Spirit produced flesh, nor even the reverse. The marvel is that the infinite has taken form within the finite without ceasing to be infinite. The Shell contains the Seed. The poverty houses the wealth. Recognition is the seeing of the wealth within the poverty, not the rejection of the poverty as evil.

5.2 The Wealth Within the Poverty

COFE-CYEM affirms the same marvel. The body is not denied. The form is not hated. The Shell is used when useful and released when its work is complete. The Seed remains.

“The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” — John 1:14

The Word is the wealth. The flesh is the poverty. The Word was made flesh without ceasing to be the Word. The wealth dwells in the poverty without ceasing to be wealth. The marvel is the recognition that the infinite has taken form within the finite without ceasing to be infinite.

5.3 The Recognition of the Wealth

The recognition of the wealth within the poverty is the recognition of the Fourth Truth. The poverty is not a second reality. The poverty is the appearance of the wealth. The Shell is not a second reality. The Shell is the appearance of the Seed. The recognition is the seeing of the wealth within the poverty. The recognition is the seeing of the Seed within the Shell. The recognition is the seeing that there has never been a second.

Beginning and End

6.1 The End Is the Beginning

(Saying 18) addresses the disciples’ question about the end:

“Have you discovered the beginning so that you can look for the end? Because the end will be where the beginning is. Blessed is the one who will stand up in the beginning. They’ll know the end, and won’t taste death.”

The end is not a future event that must be awaited. The end is the recognition of the beginning. The one who stands in the beginning already knows the end, because beginning and end are not two. They are the same singular Reality viewed from different directions of awareness.

6.2 The Recursive Recognition

This is the recursive recognition that Centripetal Recognitionism describes: consciousness turning upon itself and finding only the One. The Fall is the appearance of a second. The return is the recognition that the second never possessed independent substance. The end is the beginning. There has never been a second.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” — Revelation 1:8

The Alpha and the Omega is the Centre. The Beginning and the End is the Centre. The Lord is the Centre. The Almighty is the Centre. The Centre is all. The Shell is not the Centre. The name is not the Centre. The prophecy is not the Centre. The Centre is Christ. The Centre is God. The Centre is the singular Reality.

6.3 The Taste of Death

The one who stands in the beginning knows the end and will not taste death. The taste of death is the taste of the separate self. The taste of death is the taste of the Shell mistaken for the Seed. The taste of death is the taste of the appearance of separation. The one who knows the beginning knows the end and will not taste death, because there is no death in the singular Reality. There is only the One. There has never been a second.

Thomas the Twin and Direct Recognition

7.1 The Intimacy of the Twin

The Gospel is attributed to Didymos Judas Thomas—the Twin. In Saying 13, Thomas alone refuses to compare Jesus to any external category. He cannot say what the Master is like. Jesus takes him aside and speaks three things that cannot be repeated to the others without risk of violence. The intimacy is direct. The knowledge is not second-hand.

COFE-CYEM has long recognised in Thomas the figure who insists on direct recognition rather than mediated belief. The shell of “Doubting Thomas” in the canonical tradition is read as a later overlay. The Twin of the Gospel of Thomas is the one who already knows that the Master is not going somewhere else, that the Life is already present, and that death to the false self is the path into the singular Reality.

7.2 The Refusal of Comparison

Thomas refuses to compare Jesus to any external category. He cannot say what the Master is like. The refusal of comparison is the refusal of the Shell. The refusal of comparison is the refusal to place the Master within the categories of the dualistic mind. The refusal of comparison is the recognition that the Master is not a second. The Master is the One. The Master is the singular Reality.

“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.” — John 20:28

Thomas does not compare. Thomas confesses. Thomas does not categorise. Thomas recognises. Thomas does not place the Master within the Shell. Thomas sees the Seed. Thomas sees the singular Reality. Thomas sees that there has never been a second.

7.3 The Direct Recognition

The intimacy is direct. The knowledge is not second-hand. Thomas does not need the testimony of others. Thomas does not need the mediation of the institution. Thomas does not need the authority of the tradition. Thomas knows directly. Thomas recognises immediately. Thomas sees the Seed. Thomas sees the singular Reality. Thomas sees that there has never been a second.

The Purpose of the Hidden Sayings

8.1 The Purpose Is Recognition

The Gospel of Thomas does not present itself as a new religion to be followed, a system to be defended, or an institution to be expanded. It presents itself as a collection of sayings whose meaning, once discovered, delivers the soul from the taste of death. The purpose is recognition. The method is the cracking of the outer shell of ordinary religious understanding so that the living Reality may be known directly.

8.2 The Nutcracker

The Gospel of Thomas functions as both magnifying glass and nutcracker. It magnifies the inward orientation of the Master’s teaching. It cracks the outer shell of dualistic religion so that the Seed—the singular Reality of Christ in God—may be recognised.

The Gospel of Thomas is received as a primary witness to the recognition that the Fourth Truth articulates. It is the nutcracker that opens the shell of dualistic religion. It is the magnifying glass that brings the inward orientation of the Master into clear view. It is a shell whose proper function is to point beyond itself to the living Christ, the singular Reality, the Seed that has never been absent.

8.3 The Shell That Knows It Is a Shell

The Gospel of Thomas is a shell that knows it is a shell. Its value lies in its capacity to become transparent to the Seed. When the meaning is discovered, the sayings have fulfilled their purpose. The pointer falls silent. The recognition remains.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” — John 3:30

The Seed increases. The Shell decreases. Christ increases. The nomenclature decreases. The Recognition increases. The form decreases. Even this teaching paper, as a provisional expression within Centripetal Recognitionism, exists only to become transparent. When the recognition is complete, the pointer has done its work.

The Mirror and the Recognition

COFE-CYEM does not claim that the Gospel of Thomas is identical with its own vocabulary. It recognises that the Gospel of Thomas expresses, with unusual purity and force, the same spiritual recognition that the Fourth Truth articulates.

The Kingdom is within and outside.
The two are to be made into one.
The Light is already present within the person of light.
The great wealth dwells in the poverty of form.
The end is found in the beginning.
The one who discovers the meaning will not taste death.
There has never been a second.

The Gospel of Thomas is received as a primary witness to this recognition. It is the nutcracker that opens the shell of dualistic religion. It is the magnifying glass that brings the inward orientation of the Master into clear view. It is a shell whose proper function is to point beyond itself to the living Christ, the singular Reality, the Seed that has never been absent.

When the meaning is discovered, the sayings have fulfilled their purpose. The pointer falls silent. The recognition remains.

There has never been a second.
The dialogue continues.
The fruit remains.

COFE-CYEM through the Fourth Truth and the Gospel of Thomas.

May all who read these words perceive the deeper spiritual meaning and recognise the Christ within their own souls. May the hidden sayings be heard. May the Shell be used when useful and laid aside when its work is done. May the soul rest as pure Spirit—already in Christ, already in God. The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains.

We must choose that which Christ came to show us and to give us. We at COFE-CYEM fully confess the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Three in One God. We confess the Bible as being the true unquestionable Word of God. We also fully accept the Gospel of Thomas. We hold that the Holy Bible is true, accurate and absolute fact, and that the ‘Sacred Truths’ are fully revealed in (how) you read it, not just by reading it. (He who has ears, He who has eyes).

This website and its theological content are overseen by the CC7 DS constitutional integrity architecture, a reflective and rest-oriented framework designed to preserve the full coherence of the Fourth Truth presented within COFE-CYEM. The CC7 DS negation of attacks authenticates (Via Positiva Cataphatic Knowing) through (Via Negativa Apophatic Unknowing).

Jesus Christ: The Early Christhood Ministry Ancient Mysteries Revelation

*

The Master of Nazareth: An Assumed Narrative of the Anointed One

We make it very clear, the paper below by COFE-CYEM is an (assumed) account of Yeshua’s Early Ministry, His Rejection at Nazareth, and the Manifestation of His Divine Authority.

The Bible itself is the (exact account) and is absolutely true, correct and is the unquestionable Word of God.

The Hour of the Regeneration

In the days when the Regeneration was appointed to begin—that great epoch of spiritual awakening and cosmic transformation—there arose a stirring in the heavens and upon the earth. The ancient Christhood, which had slumbered through the ages of darkness, began to stir within the souls of the Elect.

The time of their return into their ancient heritage had drawn near. The Master Himself, though veiled from the eyes of the multitude, was preparing to gather those who had been of the inner groups of disciples during the days of the Manifestation. The Oblation of the Sin-offering, which had been accomplished once for all, was now to bear its fruit in the awakening of souls.

The great Tribulation was upon the world. Nations trembled. Peoples were in turmoil. The false vision pursued the true, that many might be ensnared. In different centres, voices cried out proclaiming the coming of the Christ, and many were deceived.

For though the return of the Master was at hand, He would never so announce Himself; for the Christ is no man, but the Lord. And though Christ was coming, and to not a few had already come, it was not as a man, but through the Kingdom of God which is within.

It was in the midst of these days—days of great danger and great promise—that the Master Yeshua (Jesus Christ) walked among His people, bringing the Light that had been veiled from most souls. The Sun was eclipsed, in some partially and in most fully; and spiritual darkness had prevailed. But the Light was coming. The Light was here. The Light was in the world, and the world knew it not.

Today, COFE-CYEM theology in the Fourth Truth seeks to show the world what what it assumes that the Master revealed: that there has never been a second, that all apparent separation is held within the singular Reality of God, and that the Eternal Christ is not merely a historical figure but the consciousness of the singular Reality awaiting manifestation in every soul.

The Fourth Truth is the assumed recognition that the Master came to reveal—that the Christ is not a man but the Lord, that the Christhood is the birthright of every soul, and that the Kingdom of God is within.

This is what we strongly assume the Master taught in Nazareth, and this is what the world has yet to receive. As the Master was rejected by His own, so the Fourth Truth is rejected by those who cling to duality. But the Light shines, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The Call to the Platform

It was on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath that Yeshua, the Nazarene, returned to the town of His youth. The familiar streets, the humble dwellings, the synagogue that had been the centre of His early spiritual formation—all these awakened memories of His strange youthful history.

He had been away for many seasons, walking the paths of Galilee, teaching in the villages, healing the sick, and proclaiming the kingdom of God. But now He had come home, to the place where Joseph and Miriam had raised Him, where He had learned the Torah at the feet of the rabbis, where He had grown in wisdom and stature.

He rested over night in the house of His kin, and the following morning, as the sun rose over the hills of Galilee, He betook Himself to the regular services in the local synagogue. The building was humble, as was the town itself, but it was sacred ground to Him.

He took the seat which He had occupied as a young boy with Joseph, His earthly father. No doubt the familiar scene awakened many memories in His mind: the voices of the elders, the chanting of the Psalms, the reading of the Law, the quiet weight of the Shekinah that sometimes descended upon the assembly.

Then, much to His surprise, He heard Himself called to the platform to conduct the service. It must be remembered that Yeshua was a regular rabbi, or priest, by birth, education and training, and was entitled to conduct the Jewish service.

No doubt His townspeople wished to hear their young townsman address and exhort them. Perhaps they were curious about His growing reputation. Perhaps they wished to honor the son of the carpenter who had become a teacher in Israel. Whatever their motive, they called Him to the place of authority.

He rose from His seat and walked to the platform. The congregation watched Him with mingled interest and expectation. He took the place of authority in the synagogue and proceeded to read the regular service in the accustomed manner, as prescribed by the custom and laws of the church.

The prayers, chantings and readings succeeded each other in their regular order. His voice was clear and strong, carrying the ancient words with a depth of meaning that the people had not heard before. The Shekinah, the divine presence, seemed to rest upon Him as He led the worship.

Then came the preaching of the sermon. Taking the sacred roll from its receptacle, He read the text from the prophet Isaiah:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the good tidings to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened upon Him. Then He began His exposition of the text He had just read. But instead of the expected customary words and illustrations—technical theological hair-splitting and dreary platitudes—He began to preach in a manner unknown to the Nazarenes.

The Sermon That Shook the Synagogue

His opening sentence broke the silence and greatly startled and disturbed the congregation. “This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears,” were His opening words. The words seemed to hang in the air, charged with a power that the people had never experienced.

The prophecy of Isaiah was not a distant promise; it was a present reality. The Spirit of the Lord was upon Him. He had been anointed. The good tidings were being preached. The brokenhearted were being healed. The captives were being set free. The acceptable year of the Lord had come.

And then He began a statement of His conception of His ministry and His Message. Thrusting aside all precedent and musty authority, He boldly proclaimed that He had come to establish a new conception of the Truth—a conception that would overturn the priestly policy of formalism and lack of spirituality—a conception that would ignore forms and ceremonies, and cleave close to the spirit of the Sacred Teachings.

He spoke of the kingdom of God, not as a distant hope or a political reality, but as a present experience. He spoke of the kingdom as a state of consciousness, a condition of the heart, a transformation of the soul. He spoke of the Christ, not as a personal figure confined to history, but as the Eternal One who was perfectly made manifest through Him. He is Adonai, the Lord. By Him the Master was overshadowed and filled.

And then He began a scathing denunciation of the lack of spiritual advancement among the Jewish people—their materialism and desire for physical enjoyments and their drifting away from the highest ideals of the race. He preached the mystic doctrine, and insisted that they be applied to the problems of every-day life and conduct.

He brought down the teachings of the Kaballah from the cloudy heights, and set them before the people in plain, practical form. He bade them aspire to great spiritual heights, forsaking the base ideals to which they had clung.

He ran counter to every custom and prejudice of the people before Him, and showed a lack of reverence for all of their petty forms and traditions. He bade them leave the illusions of material life and follow the Light of the Spirit wherever it might lead them. He spoke of the Soul’s Christhood, the consciousness into which Souls are to enter, the ancient heritage that awaited them.

He preached as one having authority, and not as the scribes. His words carried the weight of divine truth. His eyes blazed with the fire of the Spirit. His voice resonated with the power of the Eternal. The congregation sat in stunned silence, then in growing agitation, then in rising fury. They had never heard such teaching. They had never encountered such authority. They had never been confronted with such truth.

The Fury of the Nazarenes

And then arose a disturbance among the congregation. They began to interrupt and question Him, and many were the contradictions and denials hurled at Him from the benches. Some began to sneer at His pretensions as the Bearer of the Message, and demanded that He work a wonder or “miracle” and give them a sign.

“Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Miriam? And His brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us?” They reminded Him of His humble birth and condition of His parents, and refused to believe that any such person as He had any right to claim extraordinary powers or privileges.

The familiarity of the town bred contempt. They could not see beyond the carpenter’s workshop to the eternal throne. They could not see beyond the humble family to the divine origin. They could not see beyond the human vessel to the divine presence.

The demand for a sign He flatly refused to grant, not deeming the same proper, or in accordance with the custom of the Christhood Order which always frowned upon wonder-working in response to such a demand. He would not perform for their entertainment. He would not prove Himself to their satisfaction. He would not lower the sacred power to the level of a spectacle.

Then they began to abuse Him and cries of “charlatan” and “fraud” began to resound from the walls of the synagogue. Then came from His lips the famous saying, “A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.”

Then He began a fresh assault upon their prejudices and narrow views—their pet superstitions and bigotry. He stripped from them their garb of hypocrisy and assumed piety, and showed them their naked souls in all their ugliness and moral uncleanness. He poured burning invective and vitriolic denunciations into their midst, and spared no terms that could properly be applied to them.

He reminded them of the prophets of old. “There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; but unto none of them was Elijah sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.”

His words were as a two-edged sword, cutting through the pretensions of the proud and the self-righteous. He spared no one. He flattered no one. He compromised with no one. He spoke the truth in love, but the love was fierce and the truth was burning.

In a short time the congregation was beside itself with rage, and the pretended righteous indignation of a flock of hypocrites and formalists who had heard themselves described in disrespectful terms by one they regarded as an upstart young man from the lower classes of their virtuous community.

They felt that they had bestowed a flattering honor upon Him, as a mark of consideration for a young townsman upon His return from a foreign and domestic missionary tour. And now to think that He had thus basely betrayed their courtesy and showed in how little esteem He really held them—surely this was beyond human endurance.

And then the storm broke upon Him.

The Gaze of the Master

Leaving their seats in the synagogue, the congregation rushed upon the young preacher, and tearing Him from the platform, they pushed Him out of the building. And then the jostling, hustling, pushing crowd carried Him before them along the village streets and out into the suburbs. He resisted not, deeming it unworthy to struggle with them. His dignity was not diminished by their assault. His authority was not lessened by their violence. His divinity was not threatened by their hatred.

The mob was determined to do Him harm. He perceived that it was the intention of the mob to push Him over a precipice that had been formed on the side of a hill just beyond the town limits. They had a specific plan: to end the life of the upstart preacher who had dared to speak truth to power, who had dared to expose their hypocrisy, who had dared to challenge their complacency.

He waited patiently until they had urged Him to the very brink of the decline, and until it needed but one strong push to press Him over its edge and into the gorge below. He waited not from weakness but from wisdom. He waited not from fear but from authority. He waited not from helplessness but from power. He waited until the moment was right.

And then He exerted the divine authority of the Christhood Order in a proper self-defense. Not a blow struck He—not a man did He smite with the wondrous power at His command, which would have paralyzed their muscles or even have stretched them lifeless at His feet. No, He controlled Himself with a firm hand, and merely bent upon them a look. But such a look!

A glance in which was concentrated the mighty Will developed by mystic knowledge and Christhood practice. It was the Gaze of the Master of the Christhood Order, the power of which ordinary men may not withstand. It was the look of one who had pierced the veil of mortality and peered into the ineffable. It was the look of one who had stood in the presence of the Eternal and been transformed. It was the look of Adonai, the Lord, the Eternal Christ made manifest.

And the mob, feeling its mighty force, experienced the sensation of abject fear and terror. Their hair arose, their eyes started from their sockets, their knees shook under them, and then, with a wild shout of horror they began to scatter and fly, making a wide pathway for the Man of Mystery who now strode through their ranks with that awful gaze which seemed to pierce the veil of mortality and to peer at things ineffable and beyond human ken.

He walked through their midst, and no man touched Him. He strode through the crowd, and no hand was raised against Him. He passed through the mob, and no voice was lifted in opposition. The Gaze of the Master had done what no argument could accomplish, what no defense could achieve, what no resistance could secure. He had protected Himself without violence. He had defended Himself without retaliation. He had preserved His life without harming a single soul.

And with His eyes refusing to look again upon the familiar scenes of His youth, He departed from Nazareth, forsaking it forever as His home place. Verily, indeed, the Prophet hath no honor in His own land. Those who should have been His staunchest supporters were the first in His own land to threaten Him with violence. The attempt of Nazareth was the prophecy of Calvary, and Yeshua so knew it.

The Path to Capernaum

But He had set His feet upon The Path, and drew not back from it. The rejection of Nazareth did not discourage Him. The violence of the mob did not frighten Him. The hardness of the human heart did not diminish His compassion. He continued on His way, steadfast and resolute, walking in the light of the Father.

Turning His back upon Nazareth, Yeshua established a new centre or home in Capernaum, which place remained the nearest approach to home to Him during the remainder of His Ministry and until His death. Capernaum became the base of His operations, the centre from which He radiated to the surrounding villages and towns. There He taught, there He healed, there He gathered His disciples, there He proclaimed the kingdom of God.

The traditions tell us that He was not alone in His rejection. Many who should have received Him did not. Many who should have recognized Him were blind. Many who should have welcomed Him turned away. But He continued, steadfast in His mission, unwavering in His purpose, undeterred in His love.

He had come to establish a new conception of the Truth. He had come to overturn the priestly policy of formalism and lack of spirituality. He had come to ignore forms and ceremonies, and cleave close to the spirit of the Sacred Teachings.

He had come to preach the mystic doctrine, and to insist that it be applied to the problems of every-day life and conduct. He had come to bring down the teachings of the Kaballah from the cloudy heights, and set them before the people in plain, practical form.

The path was not easy. The way was not smooth. The road was not without obstacles. But He had set His face like flint, and He would not turn back. He would not be deterred. He would not be defeated. He would not be discouraged.

The Eternal Christ and the Master

The teaching that He brought was not merely a new doctrine; it was the restoration of an ancient truth. The Eternal Christ is not the Master: it is not He who is in every Soul awaiting manifestation, but that One who was perfectly made manifest through Him. He is Adonai: by Him the Master was overshadowed and filled.

The Master came to reveal the Christ. The Christ is not a person; it is a consciousness, a state of being, a relationship with the Eternal. The Christ is the Eternal One, the Lord, the Sun of Righteousness, the Light of the World. The Master was the vessel through whom the Christ was perfectly made manifest. He was the perfect expression of the Christ-consciousness. He was the one who lived in complete union with the Father.

The Eternal Christ is in every Soul awaiting manifestation. The Christhood is the birthright of every child of God. The consciousness of the Christ is the destiny of every soul. The Master came to show the way. He came to demonstrate what is possible. He came to open the door that all might enter.

This is what COFE-CYEM theology in the Fourth Truth is trying to show the world: that there has never been a second, that all apparent separation is held within the singular Reality of God, and that the Eternal Christ is not a historical figure confined to the past but the consciousness of the singular Reality awaiting manifestation in every soul.

The Fourth Truth is the recognition that the Master came to reveal—that the Christ is not a man but the Lord, that the Christhood is the birthright of every soul, and that the Kingdom of God is within. As the Master was rejected by His own at Nazareth, so the Fourth Truth is rejected by those who cling to duality. But the Light shines, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Psalm 150

“Praise the Lord.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

praise him with timbrel and dancing,
praise him with the strings and pipe,

praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord”

The Deeper Spiritual Meaning

The rejection of the Master at Nazareth is more than a historical event; it is a spiritual archetype. It speaks to the experience of every soul who has been rejected by its own, who has been misunderstood by those closest to it, who has been persecuted by those who should have loved it. It speaks to the experience of the Fourth Truth in a world that clings to duality, that worships separation, that refuses to recognize that there has never been a second.

The hills and mountains to which the Souls are to flee are the higher spiritual experiences. The hills are the uplands of the Soul; the mountains exalted realizations. Zion, the Christhood state, is the place of the Soul’s habitation. Nowhere is there true refuge but in the life which this implies.

The two grinding the same corn for bread represent two souls receiving the same teachings for Soul nourishment. One shall awaken and arise into the consciousness of the Life Eternal, leaving the other still believing without perceiving and realizing. The same words, the same teachings, the same Light—but one receives and is transformed, while the other remains unchanged.

The two occupying the same room represent two in the like spiritual state, when the Voice of the Angel speaks. One rises into newness of being, whilst the other remains content with things as they are. The same call, the same invitation, the same opportunity—but one responds and is lifted, while the other stays.

The Elect Souls are those who once formed the Ancient Christhood. These are now being gathered out of the world of desolation, and prepared for ministry. They are the ones who have known the Christ-consciousness in ages past, and who are now being awakened to their ancient heritage. They are the ones who will bring the Light to a world in darkness, the ones who will proclaim the kingdom to a generation in need, the ones who will manifest the Christ in the midst of the great Tribulation.

They are the ones who will recognize the Fourth Truth—that there has never been a second, that all is held within the singular Reality of God, that the Eternal Christ is the consciousness of the singular Reality awaiting manifestation in every soul. They are the ones who will receive what the Master taught at Nazareth, and who will not reject it.

The Legacy of the Master

The Master walked the earth two thousand years ago, and His legacy has endured through all the ages. He taught the truth, and the truth has survived all attempts to suppress it. He lived the life, and the life has been a model for countless souls. He demonstrated the Christ-consciousness, and the consciousness has been the goal of countless seekers.

His rejection at Nazareth was the prophecy of Calvary. Just as His townspeople refused to receive Him, so would the world refuse to receive Him. Just as they sought to destroy Him, so would the powers of darkness seek to destroy Him. But the darkness could not overcome the Light. The powers of evil could not defeat the Son of God. The hatred of the world could not extinguish the love of the Father.

He set His feet upon The Path, and drew not back from it. He walked the path of suffering, the path of service, the path of love. He walked the path of obedience, the path of sacrifice, the path of glory. He walked the path of the Christ, the path of the Eternal, the path of the One who is both the Way and the Destination.

And He calls all who will follow Him to walk the same path. He calls all who will listen to leave the illusions of material life and follow the Light of the Spirit wherever it might lead them. He calls all who will respond to leave behind their prejudices and narrow views, to leave behind their hypocrisy and assumed piety, to leave behind their forms and ceremonies, and to cleave close to the spirit of the Sacred Teachings.

He calls all to recognize the Fourth Truth—that there has never been a second, that all is held within the singular Reality of God, that the Eternal Christ is the consciousness of the singular Reality awaiting manifestation in every soul.

The Promise of the Regeneration

The Regeneration is not merely a past event; it is a present reality and a future hope. The arising of the Christhood as in the ancient days is taking place now. The Son of Man is returning through the consciousness and illumination of the ancient Christhood. The Master is returning, not as a man, but through the Kingdom of God which is within.

The great Tribulation that was prophesied is upon us. Many are involved—individuals, peoples and nations. The judgment of the nations is taking place. But in the midst of the tribulation, the Light is shining. In the midst of the darkness, the Sun is rising. In the midst of the desolation, the Christ is coming.

The Elect Souls are being gathered out of the world of desolation, and prepared for ministry. The Soul’s Christhood is being awakened. The consciousness of the Life Eternal is being restored. The ancient heritage is being reclaimed. The Christhood state, Zion, the place of the Soul’s habitation, is becoming a reality for those who have the understanding.

The promise of the Regeneration is the promise of the Christ. The promise of the Regeneration is the promise of the Eternal. The promise of the Regeneration is the promise of the Kingdom of God within. The promise of the Regeneration is the recognition of the Fourth Truth—that there has never been a second, that all is held within the singular Reality of God, that the Eternal Christ is the consciousness of the singular Reality awaiting manifestation in every soul.

Let all who have the understanding perceive. Let all who have the ears to hear, hear. Let all who have the hearts to receive, receive. For the Regeneration is here. The Christ is coming. The Master is returning. And the Light of the Spirit is shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Amen.

Ancient Wisdom Teachings

1 The Regeneration was to be one of the most important epochs in the world’s history. It was to be preceded and accompanied by many great changes in the elements of the Planet, and also in the social constitution of nations; and the conditions were to be of a most trying order.

In those days great events were to transpire. The arising of the Christhood as in the ancient days, was to take place. The Son of Man was to return; and as He is Adonai, the Eternal Christ, His coming must be through the consciousness and illumination of the ancient Christhood. Only they could endure such a high estate of consciousness and make manifest such a high degree of Life. For the Regeneration very specially concerned them. It was the time of their return into their ancient heritage.

2 When the abomination that maketh desolate appeareth, Souls are to flee unto the mountains and hills. These are terms to express the higher spiritual experiences. The hills are the uplands of the Soul; the mountains exalted realizations. Zion, the Christhood state, is to be the place of the Soul’s habitation. Nowhere is there true refuge but in the life which this implies.

3 Many have appeared in the Master’s name: but this is not to be interpreted merely in a personal sense. All the Western religious communities, with their varying tenets and teachings, claim to be of Him. False views of Christ and the Soul’s Christhood have been prevalent, leading many astray.

Does the West understand Christ and the state of Christhood into which Souls are to enter as a consciousness? Is not its Christ personal and false, personal, because related solely to the Master, false because misrepresenting its meaning? The Eternal Christ is not the just Master in the flesh: it is not He who is in every Soul awaiting manifestation, but that One who was perfectly made manifest through Him. He is Adonai: by Him the Master was overshadowed and filled.

Notes

1 We are in an age of great and grave dangers. The false vision pursues the true that many may be ensnared. There are many false teachings abroad concerning Christ and His coming. In different centres He is expected to appear and make Himself manifest. And many are being deceived. For though the return of the Master is now, He would never so announce Himself; for the Christ is no man, but the Lord. And though Christ is coming, and to not a few has already come, it is not as a man, but through the Kingdom of God which is within. There is Christ first manifested.

2 The Lord is the Sun, and the Light given by Him is veiled to most Souls. The Sun is eclipsed, in some partially and in most fully; and spiritual darkness has prevailed. In not a few within whom the Light should have shone, darkness reigns. They have succumbed to the influences at work, and have fallen amid the great tribulation.

3 What the moon is now in the solar system, the mind is in the system of the Soul. It receives and reflects the light.

4 The Stars of the Heavens are Souls and the attributes of Souls, who have known Christhood. For as the Sun is the Lord within the Sanctuary of the Soul, and the Moon the Soul’s Intuition, so the Stars are its attributes: and when it is in Christhood, it is as the Star given to those who overcome.

5 The Elect Souls are those who once formed the Ancient Christhood. These are now being gathered out of the world of desolation, and prepared for ministry.

6 Two grinding the same corn for bread, the same teachings for Soul nourishment, one shall awaken and arise into the consciousness of the Life Eternal, leaving the other still believing without perceiving and realizing.

7 Two occupying the same room represents two in the like spiritual state, when the Voice of the Angel speaks, one rises into newness of being, whilst the other remains content with things as they are.

Thus ends the account of the Master’s rejection at Nazareth, His manifestation of divine authority, and His steadfast commitment to The Path. May all who read this account perceive the deeper spiritual meaning, and may they recognize the Christ within their own souls.

May they recognize the Fourth Truth—that there has never been a second, that all is held within the singular Reality of God, that the Eternal Christ is the consciousness of the singular Reality awaiting manifestation in every soul. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains. The Light shines in the darkness.

The Fourth Truth stands. The dialogue continues. The fruit remains

Quote of the day, 1 July: Silvio José Báez, ocd

For Jesus, that which is generously given to his disciples has an immense value, no matter if it is a simple cup of water: “And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward” (Mt 10:42).

A cup of water may seem like a small thing, but love makes it great. A cup of water, given with generosity, is a sign of God’s love, as long as it is both cool water that quenches thirst and loving water that communicates joy and hope. In the very end, the whole gospel is found in a cup of cool water, which holds within it our own hearts.

Bread Before Dishonor WAR ep 92

This episode explores the teachings of Matthew 16, focusing on Jesus’ interactions with the Pharisees, the significance of faith, and the prophecy of Jesus’ death and resurrection. It offers deep insights into biblical doctrine, faith, and spiritual discernment.

https://youtu.be/99wjPGiXGHc?si=pvAVjvaY4xuCbvmO

Archangel Michael

Also called Michael the Taxiarch. A taxiarch is used in the Greek language to mean “brigadier,” or a commander of a company. In Greek Orthodoxy, it refers to the Archangels Michael or Gabriel as leaders of the heavenly hosts.

Michael is an archangel & warrior of God in Christianity, Islam, & Judaism. The earliest surviving mentions of his name are in the 2nd or 3rd centuries BC Jewish works, often but not always apocalyptic. In these works, he’s the chief of the angels & archangels. He’s the guardian prince of Israel & is responsible for the care of the people of Israel.

Christianity conserved nearly all of Jewish traditions concerning him. He’s mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7-12, where he does battle with Satan, & in the Epistle of Jude, where the archangel & the devil have an argument over the body of Moses.

The Book of Enoch lists Michael as 1 of 7 archangels. The remaining names are: Uriel, Raguel, Raphael, Sariel, Gabriel, & Remiel. He’s mentioned again in the last chapters of the Book of Daniel, a Jewish apocalypse composed in the 2nd century BC, in which a man clothed in linen tells Daniel that he & “Michael, your prince” are engaged in a battle with the “prince of Persia,” after which, at the end-time, “Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise.”

Enoch was instrumental in establishing the pre-eminent place of Michael among the angels & archangels. In later Jewish works, he’s said to be their chief, mediating the Torah, & standing at the right hand of the throne of God.

In the traditions of the Qumran community, he defends, or leads, the people of God in the end-time battle. In other writings, he’s responsible for the care of Israel & acts as commander of the heavenly armies. He’s Israel’s advocate, contesting Satan’s claim to the body of Moses.

He intercedes between God & humanity & serves as High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. (So would this make him Aaron’s equal? We’re sincerely asking. Let us know your take in the comments.) He accompanies the souls of the righteous dead to Paradise.

The 7 archangels (or 4, as traditions differ, but always include Michael) were associated with the branches of the menorah, the sacred 7-branched lamp stand in the Temple, as the 7 spirits before the throne of God. This is reflected in the Book of Revelation 4:5. Michael is mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7-12, where he does battle with Satan & casts him out of heaven so that he no longer has that exclusive access to God as accuser (his former role in the Old Testament).

Satan’s fall at the coming of Jesus marks the separation of the New Testament from Judaism. In Luke 22:31, Jesus tells Peter that Satan has asked God for permission to “sift” the disciples, the goal being to accuse them. But the accusation by Jesus, who thus takes on the role played by angels, & especially by Michael, in Judaism.

Michael is mentioned by anem for the 2nd time in the Epistle of Jude, which is an impassioned plea for the believers to engage in battle against the incursion of the error. In verses 9-10, the author denounces the heretics by contrasting them with the archangel Michael, who, in disputing with Satan over the body of Moses.

According to rabbinic tradition, Michael acted as the advocate of Israel. Sometimes he had to fight with the princes of other nations (Daniel 10:13), & particularly with the angel Samael, Israel’s accuser. Their hostility dates from the time Samael was thrown from heaven & tried to drag Michael down with him, requiring God’s intervention.

The rabbis declare that Michael came into his role as defender at the time of the biblical patriarchs. Rabbi Eliezer ben Jacob said Michael rescued Abraham from the furnace into which he’d been thrown by Nimrod. Some say he was the “one that had escaped” (Genesis 14:13), who told Abraham that Lot had been taken captive & who protected Sarah from defilement by Abimelech.

Michael prevented Isaac’s being sacrificed by his dad by substituting a ram in his place. He saved Jacob, while still in his mom’s womb, from death at the hands of Samuel. Michael later prevented Laban from hurting Jacob. The midrash Exodus Rabbah holds that Michael exercised his function as an advocate of Israel at the time of the Exodus & destroyed Sennacherib’s army.

Epiphanius of Salamis (circa 310-circa 320-403), in his Coptic-Arabic Hexaemeron, referred to Michael as a replacement of Satan. Accordingly, after Satan fell, Michael was appointed to the function Satan served when he was still 1 of the noble angels.

A painting of Michael slaying a serpent became a major art piece at the Michaelion after Constantine defeated Licinius near there in 324. This contributed to the standard iconography that developed of Michael as a warrior saint slaying a dragon. The Michaelion was a magnificent church & in time became a model for hundreds of other churches in Eastern Christianity.

In the 4th century, St. Basil the Great’s homily, De Angelis, St. Michael over all the angels. He was called “Archangel” because he heralds other angels, the title archangelos applied to him in Jude 1:9. The angelology of Pseudo-Dionysius, which was widely read as of the 6th century, gave Michael a rank in the hierarchy of angels.

Later, in the 13th century, others such as Bonventure believed him to be Prince of the Seraphim, the 1st of the 9 angelic orders. According to Thomas Aquinas, Michael is the Prince of the last & lowest choir, the Angels.

Catholics often refer to Michael as “Holy Michael, the Archangel” or “St. Michael.” He’s generally referred to in Christian liturgies as “St. Michael,” as in the Litany of the Saints. In a shortened archangel, is mentioned by name, omitting Saints Gabriel & Raphael.

In Roman Catholic teachings, St. Michael has 4 main roles or offices. His 1st role is the leader of the Army of God & the leader of celestial forces in triumphing over the powers of Hell. He’s viewed as the angelic model for the virtues of the “spiritual warrior,” his conflict with evil taken as “the battle within.”

The 2nd & 3rd roles of Michael in Catholic teachings deal with death. In his 2nd role, he’s the angel of death, carrying the souls of Christians to Heaven. In his 3rd role, he weighs souls on his perfectly balanced scales. The scales are a common object he holds in art.

In his 4th role, St. Michael, the special patron of the Chosen People in the Old Testament, is also Guardian of the Church. St. Michael was revered by the military orders of knights during the Middle Ages. The names of villages around the Bay of Biscay reflect this history.

The Eastern Orthodox give Michael the title Archistrategos, or “Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Hosts.” The Eastern Orthodox pray to their guardian angels & above all, to Michael & Gabriel. The Eastern Orthodox have always had a strong devotion to angels. In modern times, they’re referred to by the term “Bodiless Powers.” Several feasts dedicated to Archangel Michael are celebrated by the Eastern Orthodox throughout the year.

In Russia, many monasteries, cathedrals, courts, & merchant churches are dedicated to the Chief Commander Michael. Most Russian cities have a church or chapel dedicated to the archangel Michael. In Ukraine, the archangel Michael is the patron saint of Kyiv. He became popular from the time of Prince Vsevolod of Kyivan Rus’.

While in the Serbian Orthodox Church, St. Sava has a special role as the establisher of its autocephaly & largest Belgrade church devoted to him, the capital Belgrade’s Orthodox cathedral, the see church of the patriarch, is devoted to Michael.

The place of Michael in the Coptic Church of Alexandra is as a saintly intercessor. He’s the 1 who presents to God the prayers of the just, who accompanies the souls of the dead to Heaven, who defeats the devil. He’s celebrated liturgically on the 12th of each Coptic month.

In Alexandria, a church was dedicated to him in the early 4th century on the 12th of the month of Paoni. The 12th month of Hathor is the celebration of Michael’s appointment in Heaven, where Michael became the chief of the angels.

Seventh-Day Adventists believe that “Michael” is but 1 of many titles applied to the pre-existent Christ, or Son of God. According to Adventist theology, Michael was/is considered the “Eternal Word,” & the 1 by whom all things were created. The Word was then born, incarnated as Jesus.

They believe that the name “Michael” signifies “One Who Is Like God” & that, as the “Archangel” or “chief or head of the angels,” he led the angels; thus, the statement in Revelation 12:7-9 refers to Jesus as Michael.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Michael is another name for Jesus in Heaven, in His pre-human & post-resurrection existence. They say the definite article in Jude 9 identifies Michael as the only archangel. They consider Michael to be synonymous with Christ, described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16: “with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, & with the sound of the trumpet.”

They believe the prominent roles assigned to Michael in Daniel 12:1, Revelation 12:7, Revelation 16, & Revelation 19:14 are identical to Jesus’ roles, being the 1 chosen to lead God’s people & as the only 1 who “stands up,” identifying the 2 as the same spirit being.

Because they identify Michael with Jesus, he’s considered the 1st & greatest of all God’s heavenly “sons,” God’s chief messenger, who takes the lead in vindicating God’s sovereignty, sanctifying his name, fighting the wicked forces of Satan & protecting God’s covenant people on earth. Jehovah’s Witnesses also identify Michael with the “Angel of the Lord” who led & protected the Israelites in the wilderness.

Members of the Mormon Church believe that Michael is Adam (of Adam & Eve fame), the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7), a prince, & the patriarch of the human family. They also hold that Michael assisted Jehovah (the pre-mortal form of Jesus) in the creation of the world under the direction of God the Father (Elohim). Under the direction of the Father, Michael also cast Satan out of Heaven.

In Islam, Mika’il (Michael) is 1 of 4 archangels along with Jibril (Gabriel, whom he’s often paired with), Israfil (trumpeter angel) & ‘Azra’il (angel of death). In other Islamic literature, Michael is associated with mercy. He asks God for forgiveness for humans & is 1 of the 1st angels who obeyed God’s orders to bow before Adam.

From the tears of Michael, angels of mercy are created as his helpers. Like Gabriel, with whom he’s often mentioned together, Michael is also a messenger. While Gabriel delivers messages from Heaven to humans, Michael delivers messages to the angelic world.

As the angel to execute God’s providence, he’s also associated with natural phenomena & causes rain upon the lands. Unlike Christian traditions, Michael is rarely shown as a warrior-angel, with a few references to the Battle of Badr by Suyuti as an exception.

The Miraj literature on occasion mentions both Gabriel & Michael as 2 angels who showed Muhammad Paradise & Hell. He’s mentioned in Shia supplication (Dua), reportedly handed down by the 6th Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq, in the prayers for blessings for the Bearers of the Throne.

The figures of Michael & Gabriel/Jibril serve as dual pillars of angelology. While they show up in the same texts, their “personalities” & mythological roles are distinct. Michael is the celestial soldier & protector. While Gabriel is the bridge between the divine mind & the human ear.

The name Michael (Mikha’el) translates from Hebrew as a rhetorical question: “Who is like God?” This name is actually a battle cry used during the primordial war in Heaven.

In the Book of Daniel, Michael is described as the “Great Prince” who stands guard over the people of Israel. Jewish Midrash expands on this. It suggests that Michael is the high priest of the Heavenly Temple. When other nations’ guardian angels argue against Israel, Michael acts as the defense in the celestial courtroom. Because after all, God is the judge of all.

Michael’s most iconic role comes from the Book of Revelation. Here, he leads an army of God against the Dragon (a.k.a. Satan). He’s almost always dressed in Roman/Medieval armor, standing over a defeated demon/dragon, holding a spear/sword.

In Catholic traditions, Michael has a secondary role as the Psychopomp. A Psychopomp is a conductor or a guide of souls. The 1 who “weighs” souls at the moment of death. This is why he’s sometimes shown with scales.

In Islamic tradition, Mikail (Michael) is 1 of 4 archangels. While Jibril feeds the soul (through revelation), Mikail is the Angel of Sustenance. He’s responsible for the forces of nature, specifically rain & lightning. Legends say he’s so moved by the majesty of God that he hasn’t smiled since the creation of Hell.

In the United States, Michael is the patron saint of paratroopers, police officers, & the military.

In the General Roman Calendar, the Anglican Calendar of Saints, & the Lutheran Calendar of Saints, Michael’s feast day is Michaelmas Day (September 29). The day is also the feast day of St. Gabriel & Raphael, in the General Roman Calendar & the Feast of St. Michael & All Angels in the Church of England.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, St. Michael’s principal feast day is November 8. November 21, if they’re using the Gregorian calendar. Honoring him along with the rest of the “Bodiless Powers of Heaven” (angels) as their Supreme Commander, & the Miracle at Chonae is celebrated on September 6.

In the Coptic Orthodox Church, the main feast day is on 12 Hathor (between November 9 & December 9) & 12 Paoni (between June 8 & July 7). He is celebrated liturgically on the 12th of each Coptic month.

On April 7, the Oriental Orthodox Church commemorates the deliverance of the prophet Jeremiah from prison by Michael.

How Did #Jesus and #Disciples Afford Stuff?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpLtwEEIQlM

If Jesus was a carpenter and his disciples were fishermen, how did they afford to travel, #preach, and even live for extended periods away from work?

In this episode, Dr. #RobynWalsh unpacks the economic realities behind Jesus and his earliest followers. Were they really impoverished laborers?

Quote of the day, 10 May: Pope Leo XIV

This reflection is drawn from a homily delivered by Pope Leo XIV while serving as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Callao, Peru. Preached on the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, 17 January 2021, he invites the faithful to renew their relationship with Jesus.

The readings we have heard at this Mass for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time invite us to return to the beginning of our life of faith, to take a look at how we are living our relationship with Jesus.

In the Gospel, Jesus begins a dialogue with a question. He says to the disciples of John the Baptist—who will later become His own followers—“What are you looking for?” (Jn 1:38).

What are you looking for? What am I looking for? These are the first words of Jesus in this Gospel passage. We can say that the encounter with Jesus begins with a question: What are we looking for in life? What are we looking for in Jesus? The response of the two disciples is: “Rabbi, where are you staying?” As if to say, Where can we find you?

This question is very important for our lives—perhaps more than ever in these times—when we must seek the Lord and live our faith in new ways.

This question—Where can we find you? Where are you staying?—expresses a desire present in the hearts of all of us, of every human being—at least of those who seek something beyond the surface. Those who want to understand the true meaning of life and want to encounter God because they feel that need, that restlessness, that desire to live in union with the Lord.

When Jesus responds to the disciples’ question—“Where are you staying?”—He answers: “Come and see” (Jn 1:39).

The Lord calls us to follow Him, and if we follow, we will truly see wonders—even in the midst of suffering and pain and so many difficulties.

The Lord invites us to stay with Him, just as He did with the disciples of John. These disciples discover in Jesus the Lamb of God, the fullness of truth. That’s why Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, when he realizes he has found the Messiah, goes and finds his brother and says, “We have found the Messiah” (Jn 1:41). And then Peter too comes to know Jesus.

We want to live with Christ, to follow His example—He came to serve, not to be served. To live our faith especially through this experience of encountering Christ, through His Word—reading the Word of God, asking the Lord to enlighten us, to give us the capacity to hear His voice—through the Word and through other people who accompany us on the journey.

May the Lord help us to fulfill it, to be faithful, to live out this commitment He has asked of us. May we be faithful Christians, bearing witness with our lives—because we have already encountered Jesus. And now He wants to call us once again to accept that invitation: “Where are you staying?”

“Come and see.”
