Good morning bus riders!
We have reached the fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Always remember that the ordinary season after Pentecost represents each of us having entered ministry in the name of Jesus, with his soul the Lord over each of our saved souls and our cleansed bodies of flesh.
Each of us must be ordained by Yahweh’s Spirit. Each of us must go forth with the divinely inspired knowledge of Scripture that is only possible through the inner voice of the Son.
The Day of Pentecost reflects each of our soul’s ‘graduation day’ from a period of life where we submit our souls to Yahweh and begin to apply our brains to understanding Scripture; and, this application is much different than sitting in a classroom in a seminary and being taught tricks and distractions that prove intellect is what the people follow.
Seminaries are led by hired hands who have failed to enter ministry as Jesus, with them choosing the cloistering of an educational institute to the truth of ministry that says go out into the world and save seekers of truth.
Ordination to enter that ministry can only come from Yahweh, not some dean, nor from grades posted by some professors of knowledge.
The ‘diploma’ or ‘certificate’ of approval is the soul of Jesus resurrecting within one’s soul, which has been Baptized pure by Yahweh’s Spirit.
A priest ordained by a bishop of some diocese will go to work in a building owned by an organization, pronouncing ritual as more important than salvation.
The high priest Jesus reborn into new flesh goes unrecognizable into the world, leaving the truth as a seed that will grow within fertile minds that seek the truth and eternal salvation.
The point of the reading today, read aloud in Episcopal churches on this fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, speaks of the expectation that comes for those who seek the truth and salvation, as well as those who find the truth of Jesus within their souls as their individual Lord.
An expectation is also set before all who pretend to be saved, when they act as teachers of knowledge that hire approved applicants. This is in addition to those who reject Yahweh and His Son in every imaginable form, from the pew-sitting laggards to the atheists that memorize more Scripture than seminary scribes and hired hand graduates combined.
Jeremiah wrote about the expectations this second group faces.
In Jeremiah 8’s verses selected, we first read the words of anger coming from Yahweh, about the demise planned for the wayward Judeans that claimed to be His children.
Jeremiah then wrote as one of those true children of Yahweh, whose soul had married Yahweh’s Spirit, resurrecting the soul of Yahweh’s Son within Jeremiah, leading his flesh as a prophet.
The misconception is to read Yahweh’s threats as His wanting to destroy the Judean people, which would happen when the Babylonians would invade, conquer and take captives as their slaves.
However, Yahweh’s anger was more appropriately applied to the released souls of those pretending to serve Him, when they only served themselves, when their souls would stand naked and bare before the throne of Judgment.
Yahweh set the expectation that those who say they are in the name of Yahweh – including in the name of His Son Jesus (as Christians do) – when they are lying through their teeth, serving only selfish desires, they will be expected to pay the price of their unrepentant sins.
In the text we read from Jeremiah 8, we find mention of the “poor of my people.” Jeremiah wrote (in Hebrew) “baṯ-‘am·mî” four times, which each time shows translated as “poor of my people.”
The Hebrew word “bat” means “daughter. To say a “daughter” is “poor” is to imply one is totally ignorant of the deeper meaning of “daughter of my people.”
This is a statement of souls trapped in physical bodies of flesh. All souls in human form – males and females – are spiritual “daughters,” and Yahweh’s Scripture is about the spiritual, not the physical.
The souls of a wayward Judea claimed to be Yahweh’s, when those “daughters” served only their flesh.
As “daughters,” those parents saying they serve Yahweh as true Israelites offer their children up to divine marriage to Yahweh. The “daughters” – again, these are souls in both male and female bodies of flesh – become the bridesmaids betrothed to Yahweh.
Thus, when Jeremiah wrote, “If her king is not in her,” which is a statement of divine marriage and the consummation of that union, from which the soul of the Son of Yahweh (Adam-Jesus) is implanted in a virgin womb-soul.
For Jeremiah to then wrote (divinely inspired by the Son’s soul within), “the harvest is past, summer is over and we not are saved,” this speaks of the lack of Adam-Jesus having come into a lost soul to “save” it.
Here, Jeremiah wrote the Hebrew word that translates as “saved,” which is the root word in the name “Jesus.” That name means “YAH Saves.”
Now, in the Track 1 companion Psalm 79, not read aloud, but stated in the first verse is the announcement that this is” a psalm of asaph.” This means David sang as a soul whose inner Lord was the Son of Yahweh, who used David to act as a “gatherer,” so those who sang his songs of “gathering” could see the path of righteousness that which each soul is expected to take.
When David was the King of Israel and Judah, the people were led in the same way true Christians would be led by Jesus, through his Apostles. David was like that, when he was made a “Christ” (or a “Messiah) by Yahweh pouring out His Spirit upon David’s soul forever.
In the verses selected for singing today, we read the lyrics: “elohim have come in the people ׀ into your possession”.
Because the tone of the song in Psalm 79 is much like the writing of Jeremiah, where Yahweh was angry at waywardness in His name, this says the use of “elohim” must be seen truthfully.
Here “elohim” is not only the spiritual possession by Yahweh’s “elohim,” but the worldly demon spirits who are those fallen “elohim,” the ones who followed Lucifer-Satan-Azazel and refuse to assist mankind, as Yahweh commanded them.
Thus, when David sang, “they have given this corpse of your servants food for the flying creatures of the spiritual ; the flesh of your saints , to that alive in the flesh “, in that “they” are the demon “elohim.”
David writing “a corpse” is a statement about the state of death those “elohim” lead souls towards.
David then singing, “We have become a reproach to our neighbors,” the hidden truth of “to our neighbors” (from “liš·ḵê·nê·nū”) is the truth that answers the question asked of Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”
The Hebrew root word “shaken” means “neighbor,” but also “inhabitant.” This means the truth of “a neighbor” is a “co-inhabitant” of one’s soul, in one’s body of flesh.
One’s soul can be demonically possessed … more easily that one’s soul can take the steps of self-sacrifice that are necessary to become a soul married to Yahweh, receiving His Spirit of purification, and becoming reborn as His Son in new flesh.
David then wrote “elohe yisenu,” which actually names Jesus as the “elohim” of “salvation.”
In the Track 2 Old Testament reading selection from Amos 8, we find a highly metaphoric set of verses selected that are the voice of Yahweh through His prophet, speaking to those who seek salvation, but are headed to ruin.
The metaphor includes Amos writing, ““when will the new moon be over so that we may sell grain; and the sabbath, so that we may offer wheat for sale?”
We need to hear this as Yahweh speaking similarly as the Gospel reading from Luke, relative to the “manager” of “a certain Man’s wealth.” It is a statement of souls in flesh serving their personal wants and desires, rather than sacrificing self to serve Yahweh, who has erased their debts of sin.
The “new moon” speaks of the beginning of the ecclesiastical year and the month of Nisan beginning, with the Passover taking place on the first full moon. To equate that time of devotion to Yahweh – as His people – and the selling of grain, speaking loudly of the selfish state the people had fallen into.
When Amos then wrote, ““that we may acquire for money the poor , and those in need for a pair of sandals ; and even the chaff of wheat sold as grain”, this speaks of the “poor” being used for profits, when the true souls of Yahweh’s people are “those in need of a pair of sandals,” to prepare to walk the path of righteousness.
To read, “even the chaff of wheat sold as grain,” this says there will still be good grain from which spiritual food will be ground; but those who pretend to serve Yahweh and are worthless chaff will keep many people from being properly fed.
In the metaphor of this verse, the implication of “buying with silver” or “acquiring for money” is what one sells one’s soul for. Nothing that has value on the material plane has any lasting value beyond death, when a soul is released for Judgment.
Amos then speaks, “has sworn Yahweh by the redemption of Jacob (supplanter) ; if I will forget perpetually all of the deeds .”
In the name “Jacob,” which means “supplanter,” as one who takes unrightfully what is his (or hers), the price for “redemption” is divine union with Yahweh. This means “has sworn Yahweh” is a statement of the oath of marriage, which means the marriage vows are agreement to the terms of the Covenant.
In order to be “redeemed” for past sins, one’s soul must also “have sworn” total commitment to “Yahweh” as His wife-soul.
Now, the companion Psalm 113 to the Amos reading is like night and day, with David singing all about the daylight of service to Yahweh.
While the Episcopal Church cuts off the last word in verse nine, it is the same that begins verse one. The English translation of this is “Hallelujah.”
That English translation misses the most important meaning of what is written, as two Hebrew words are combine to make one English word: halal and yah.
The word “yah” is an abbreviated form of “Yahweh,” with the typical English translation of “halal” being “praise.” Thus, the true meaning of “hallelujah” says “praise Yahweh.”
Not “praise God,” but specifically “praise Yahweh.” To say “hallelujah” without knowing the meaning of the Hebrew means many Christians assume the word means “praise God.”
In Psalm 113 David followed “halal yaw” by writing “Yahweh” six times in the first five verses. That makes it clear that he sang “praise” to a most specific “Yahweh,” not to some generic “god.”
In verse one, David wrote “hallu ebed Yahweh,” which says “praise servants of Yahweh.” He then followed that by singing, “hallu et-sem Yahweh,” which says, “praise the name of Yahweh.”
The “name of Yahweh” is just that. Yahweh.
Still, the truth of “halal” is it does not actually translate as “praise.” The word means “to shine.” So, David is repeatedly singing “shine Yahweh! shine the servants of Yahweh. shine in the name of Yahweh.”
This becomes a deep statement that “praise” is not something possible of human beings – souls enslaved in bodies of flesh.
It is the presence of Yahweh, His purifying Spirit, and the resurrection of His Son’s soul within the wife-soul of a devotee that brings about this “shine of Yahweh.”
It cannot be reproduced by human souls alone. Thus, humans cannot give “praise” that adequately justifies personal experience of this “shine of Yahweh.”
The “shine of Yahweh,” which emits “praise” from within one’s soul, comes from the presence of Yahweh’s Son. When Adam-Jesus within “praises Yahweh,” then the host soul knows what that “praise” is; and, it joins in with the celebration.
Can you understand that?
<Look for nodding heads.>
Great!
In verse two, David sings about this “name of Yahweh,” which is a statement about the divine marriage of a soul with Yahweh. To be Anointed by Yahweh’s Spirit places a wife “in the name of” her Husband; and, all souls trapped in bodies of flesh take on the femininity of the worldly realm, as bridesmaids, daughters, and receivers of impregnating Spirit.
When one reads the truth that comes from verses six through nine (where Yahweh is not named), those verses are singing of the presence of the Son within David’s soul.
Thus, the expectation set for those who will be found saved by marriage to Yahweh and being reborn as His Son in new flesh is to submit fully to His Will and enter ministry in the name of the Son.
This brings us to the reading selection from Paul’s first letter to the Apostle Timothy. Here, it is easy to be misled and distracted by the word “kings,” and think Paul was telling Timothy to respect the power of those human rulers over people. That is not the point of this selection today.
The first word of verse one is a capitalized “Parakalō,” which ordinarily is the first-person active word saying, “I call to or for, I exhort, or I encourage.” When a Greek word in the New Testament is capitalized, it denotes a divine elevation in meaning, to that equal to Yahweh. Therefore, the first-person speaking here is Yahweh, not Paul.
This reading selection is then Paul confirming what Yahweh inspired David to write in Psalm 113, where Yahweh is saying through His prophet Paul, “I urgently call upon you.”
Part of that “Call” is to become “kings,” as the Sons of man resurrected in the name of Jesus.
Now, in the text of Paul (which is always most deep and difficult to follow when reading some casual English translation) is spelling out the steps a soul must take to be able to “shine of Yahweh.” He is saying what it takes to meet a soul’s expectations for salvation.
In verse five, where we read Paul write, “One indeed God , one kai the go-between of God kai of mankind , mankind Christ Jesus”, this is not saying the ‘whole name’ of Yahweh’s Son … as “Christ Jesus.”
Each of those capitalized Greek words speak separately and one a divine level of meaning, relative to Yahweh. The word “Christ” means ALL souls who have experienced the outpouring of Yahweh’s Spirit upon their souls, individually and forever … just as David was “a Christ” or “a Messiah,” as one “Anointed” by Yahweh.
The ”go-between” for Yahweh – His “mediator” – can only enter into a soul-flesh that is purified of all past sins. Being “a Christ” means being returned to a virgin state of being, into which the soul of Yahweh’s Son can be resurrected, as a divine act that consummates a marriage between a soul and Yahweh.
When one is then “a Christ,” one can then be reborn as “Jesus” in new flesh, so a purified soul remains pure forevermore.
Paul is confirming what David sang. That state of being never changes. To be eternally saved, one must become “Jesus” reborn … and the name “Jesus” means “YAH Saves.”
This brings us to the Gospel reading selection from Luke 16. This is the parable of the “Unrighteous Manager” or “Steward,” which is only found told in Luke’s Gospel.
The way the English translation unfolds, it seems clear that a wealthy man had a dishonest manager, who was found out and fired, at which point he began to plan how he could survive without having some wealthy man to steal from. So, he calls upon debtors of his former master and reduces their bill, as one last act of dishonesty; so, he can count on those debtors not only owing the wealthy man, but his dishonest manager too.
This leads to a conclusion that says one cannot serve two masters; and, that is confusing because Jesus said that in Matthew’s sixth chapter.
There seems to be some head-scratching over this parable; but I found it is all translation inadequacies.
This past week, I saw the parallel between Judas Iscariot and the manager who misused his master’s riches. In the same way the parable unfolds, Judas Iscariot was likewise mismanaging the proceeds that came into the ministry of Jesus. There are several references in the Gospels about Judas Iscariot being dishonest with the purse.
Judas Iscariot must be seen as a reflection of all souls – past, present, and future – who pretend to serve Yahweh, through the Son (the certain Man – a capitalized word in Greek), while serving themselves.
The two masters are then Yahweh and any spiritual influence that is not Yahweh.
This means that the certain Man of great spiritual wealth was not informed by some tattletale who was cheated by the manager, but by the voice of Yahweh, speaking the truth that uncovers all deceptions.
When the manager was ‘fired,’ the reason was he did not serve Yahweh totally, with all his heart, mind and soul. He served his own soul, whenever it behooved him.
This is like finding out your spouse has cheated on you with another, when the marriage vows prohibit that freedom to mix and ‘hook up’ with any other … for the rest of one’s life.
The manager was then divorced by the certain man of great wealth.
One of the confusing elements in the parable comes in verse eight, when we read (NRSV), “And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly, for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light.”
Why would the master commend the dishonest manager for further cheating on the certain man of great wealth.
The answer is the divorce preceded those further acts. The dishonest manager was no longer married to Yahweh and was free to mix and ‘hook up’ with whoever he pleased.
This means the master commended the dishonest manager for finding a way to support himself. He commended his intellectual abilities to persuade those souls who were indebted to the master, by convincing their souls that his soul had the power to reduce what they owed.
As is always the case, those who put great faith in their Big Brain’s ability to sidestep disaster, the Big Brain dies along with the rest of the body of flesh, when it is time for the soul within to pay for all the crimes committed serving self.
In verse eight, Yahweh said to the dishonest soul: “these sons of this of age of these more shrewd than those sons of this of light into this family this of their souls they exist”.
When we read “sons,” this is the masculinity of the spiritual realm, of which a soul is. Upon death of the flesh, the souls all become “sons” that are divided by Yahweh in Judgment. Those deemed “sons of this of age,” the “age” is the limitation of time, which only exists in the material world. The “sons of this of light” are then the souls who were led by the “light” of truth, which comes from the resurrection within those “sons of this of light” that is Jesus.
Those who serve the world, cannot serve the “light” of truth. The division of souls is based on attempting to serve two masters.
We see this in Jesus telling his disciples about the time of Judgments, when there will be two types of soul – sheep and goats.
In that parable, neither the sheep nor the goats understood why they were judges as good (the sheep) or bad (the goats). This is because both were lost in serving one master, not two. One served Yahweh faithfully, while the other served self faithfully.
We are expected to be sheep by the time our Judgment comes, not goats.
We are expected to be "sons of this of light" when our souls are Judged, not "sons of this of this age."
The comparison that must be made to the waywardness of ancient times in Israel and Judah, as well as the waywardness of the times when Jesus spoke in parables, and the waywardness of today’s times, is there are always those ‘goats,’ those “dishonest managers,” who so are unwilling to serve Yahweh over self that they totally immerse their souls in serving self, while acting under the pretense of doing the Master’s work.
Today, we have leaders of all Christian religions calling upon those in debt to Yahweh (due to sins) and telling them, “Scripture says you owe Yahweh because you have committed adultery. I tell you that I (one wearing a robe of the master) will allow you to commit a limited number of adulterous affairs and still be able to erase the others through self-sacrifice to Yahweh.”
That is shrewdness – the Big Brain leading the soul to dishonesty – all while getting so immersed in self-piety that one’s soul is incapable of seeing how great his or her own debt is. It can never be repaid.
Thus, the moral of the parable says, You cannot serve two masters, because you will either love the one and hate the other” that you will become lost in who it is you truly serve.
With that, I see the bus arriving now; so, I will leave you to ponder these lessons for today.
We all have spiritual expectations placed upon our souls. There are no discounts in that debt to be given by those pretending to represent Yahweh and His Son Jesus.
The only path to redemption and salvation is through divine union with Yahweh, becoming a Christ by the outpouring of His Spirit upon our debtor souls, so once debt-free our souls can join with the soul of Jesus; and, his soul will become our Lord, leading us individually to the path of righteousness in ministry that is eternal life forevermore.
I look forward to meeting with you again next Sunday. Until then, do take care of your souls. You do not want to carry over unpaid debts in this life to another life imprisoned in flesh awaiting those dishonest debtors.
Amen
