I was thinking this morning, about Jesus, and about Mary, and about a writer who said that, a non-Christian writer, Jesus had scraggly hair, he had long hair, a messy beard that look like it had never been combed, and I remembered that Moses had hair are like that and so did John the Baptists, Job, Lot, and so on.
I happened to be watching recently, I finished it this morning, a movie on Howard Hughes, the great recluse, and at the end of the movie he kind of look like that, and then I thought of Jesus being character assassinated and the others as well, and the suffering of Job, and it occurred to me that Jesus and all the others were driven to suffering, were all outcast from society, and Howard Hughes chose to be a recluse, where as the Prophets of God, or the men of God, were forced into this situation.
In the case of Jesus I have always believed Mary was used by her family to persecute Jesus, of which she did gladly, and very effectively, and while everyone was sympathetic with Mary they came to hate Jesus. And in disliking Jesus they outcast him from general society and he was forced to live a life of solitude, and therefore to society he looked like an outcast of his own choice same as Howard Hughes, but in reality Mary put him there along with her family, and along with the flying monkeys who supported her family.
It’s very coincidental that all these great men of the Bible looked the same, or all of around about the same age, all went through hell, all had to deal with very foolish people, all taught people, all they came great men of God, and all walked alone for a period of time without anyone around, including Jesus.
Remember that Jesus’ story was created to make people believe that Jesus was God. Like you and I know that Baptism is what they call of fire, baptism of fire, so neither Jesus nor John baptized with water, but to fit Scripture to the narrative that Jesus was God they had to say that John baptised with water and Jesus Baptized with the spirit, and so on, and it is said Jesus’s disciples baptised with water under Jesus authority.
Jesus knew the only way to be born again, was like silver burnt over fire, meaning you went through living hell to become a new person, same as Jesus went through living hell to become the great teacher he became, in order to help people. So there is no way on heaven and earth that Jesus would have baptised with water, or John would baptise with water, or the disciples, or anyone who had ever learned from Jesus personally.
Therefore the baptizing with water, was put in by the church, that had no idea what that it meant, and had no idea how to do it. It’s the same as the census, there was no history of a census except for in the Bible thus it was a narrative about the early life of Jesus that didn’t really happen. There is no hard historical or archaeological proof outside of the Bible for a census that required people to travel to their ancestral hometowns during Jesus’ birth or childhood.
So looking at it logically, looking at what all the great men of the Bible went through, I always believed, that the Prophet, the new Prophet was part of each story. Meaning part of his life is like Joseph, part of his life was like Moses, part of his life is like Job especially the suffering meaning that Jesus, John and all the others went through what Job went through, and while they suffered society condemned them and made them a recluse.
When you are pushed out of society, you have no choice but to take on solitary life, you can mingle to a degree, but the people don’t really like you because of what they’ve been told before they meet you or after they met you, and you can see it on their faces. Job was very unjustfully treated, Moses became very frustrated teaching the people, Jesus was tempted in many many ways, Joseph was prison in the end after being outcast, I believe that God kept the stories in the Bible so that the new Prophet would be able to read each story and get an idea what would happen and his life.
So God gave him some explanation of what was actually happening to him while he was being tortured by people, outcast, unjustfully treated, going through pain, and so on. It was kept in the Bible to help keep each new Prophet sane, while living in a lost world in its own madness.
What saved every Prophet, probably except Moses because he upset God, was the woman that God gave them saved him. Eve is referred to as a “saviour” or “rescuer” based on the original Hebrew text of Genesis 2:18.
God was also called Ezer, what Eve was called:
Psalm 33:20: “Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.”
Psalm 121:1-2: “My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
Psalm 146:5: Blessed is the one whose help is the God of Jacob.
The word is used of God because of what he does by coming to the aid of someone who can’t manage alone.
It’s also used of humans and nations, such as Egypt as a would-be ally in Isaiah 30:5 and Ezekiel 12:14, and Ezekiel 30:8 speaks of those who help Egypt. In those cases the helper is not necessarily stronger than the one being helped.
Thus Eve, Mary, Salome, and others, were not stronger than Adam, John or Jesus, but they were put into a position by God to help these men. In other words the women had to show God that they were really faithful, fully supported and believed in the man who had taken them from filth to respect, and changed their lives completely.
In other words, each one of these women, owed their lives to the man who changed them and to God, and God, in turn, asked each one to now save the man who saved them.
If each woman, at the time the Prophet was suffering, looked back and wondered what she would be doing if she had not met this man, she would have been rolling in immorality and loving it, like pigs in mud and filth, eating slops (He becomes so hungry that he longs to fill his stomach with the carob pods (husks) the pigs are eating) like the Prodigal Son.
So my thoughts are, and order to make the man a Prophet, God puts him through living hell on Earth, and in order to make his woman worthy – she also goes through a woman’s hell.
Both, must go through trials, to change their way of thinking from the past to a new way of thinking, and the Prophet shows his worthiness and faith in God by suffering silently, it takes a long time to get to that stage, but there’s nothing left for him any more.
The woman, we will call her Mary, she had to come to the realization of what she’d done, and that in the process of making her a better woman a wholesome woman, what would be a good wife, what would be a wonderful mother, in order for her to change for the better Prophet had to suffer and his life become worse as her life got better for her because she was changing within, her Soul was changing, becoming Born Again.
What God wanted of Mary, now, was for her to save the man who saved her.
The whole changing of their lives is about being changed in the inner soul, the darkness of society has to be removed and that’s a very painful process but it must happen so that we change our thinking, our views, our feelings, and we exchange apathy for empathy, we become compassionate human beings who seek to help each other and make the world a better place for us having been here.
So the Prophet’s and the woman who loves them, to be worthy of each other he and she, they had to go through very hard times, change in soul, and become completely new, and in that process see each other completely differently, and realise that the person who they disliked originally actually was a new person.
God knew Mary without her sin, the same for Jesus, but Mary and Jesus didn’t know each other without their sins, so by removing each one’s immoral character, they were finally able to see themselves as human beings both of good character, loving, worth knowing, the perfect partner to walk at each other side to do God’s work in the world.
