So now we're beginning section 9 of the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. Once more, if you would like more commentary on this Gospel, please join us on Tuesday nights on The Dark Outpost. Section 9, Lections 81-89. Lection 81, The Roman Trial Before Pilate, Verse 1. Then led they, Jesus, from Caiaphas, into the hall of judgment to Pontius Pilate the governor, and it was early, and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, least they should be defiled, but that they might keep the feast. Pilate therefore went out unto them and said, What accusations bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him, If he were not a male factor, we would not have delivered him up to thee. We have a law, and by our law he ought to die. Because he would change the customs and rights which Moses delivered unto us, ye he made himself the Son of God. So if you remember from last week some of the charges against Jesus, it wasn't just the fact that the Pharisees and the rabbis said that Jesus was speaking blasphemy because he was claiming to be the Son of God, but it was also because he technically broke the laws of Moses, which was to slaughter a lamb at the Passover. If you can remember from last week, Judas brought a lamb to the Passover feast, and Jesus said to leave it alone, not to sacrifice the lamb. Of course throughout this whole gospel we've seen Jesus push vegetarianism and to take care of the animals, because the animals are our brothers and sisters. This brings us to verse 3. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him and judge him according to your law, for he knew that for envy they had delivered him. So Pontius Pilate doesn't want to be a part of this anymore. He's like, You guys are envious of this man. You judge him. I don't want to be a part of this thing you've got going on with this guy. Verse 4. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not law for us to put a man to death.  And they further accused him saying, We found this fellow perverting the nations and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a king. So now they're trying to manipulate Pontius Pilate, right? Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again and called Jesus and said unto him, Art thou the king of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself or did others tell you it of me? So Jesus is asking, Do you believe I'm the king of the Jews or did they tell you that? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nations and chief priests have delivered thee upon me. And what hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight and I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then?  To this end I was born. And for this cause I came into the world that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate said unto him, What is truth? Jesus said, Truth is from heaven. Pilate said, Then truth is not on earth. Jesus said unto Pilate, Believe thou that truth is on earth amongst those who receive and obey it, there of the truth, who judge righteously. And we had heard this, he went out again unto the Jews, and sayeth unto them, I find in him no fault at all. And when he was accused, the chief priests and elders, he answered them nothing. Then Pilate said unto them, Here is thou not how many things they witness against thee. And he answered him never a word, in so much that the governor marveled greatly. And again he said unto them, I find no fault in this man. And they waxed the more fiercely, saying he stireth up the people, teaching throughout all jewelry. Beginning from Galilee to this place. When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilean. And as soon as he saw that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at the time. And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he was desirous to see him for a long season, because he had heard many things of him, and he hoped to have seen some miracles done by him. Then he questioned with him in many words, but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him, and many false witnesses rose up against him, and laid to his charge things that he knew not. And Herod with his men of war sent him at naught and mocked him, and arrayed him with a gorgeous robe and sent him to Pilate. And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together, for before they read enimate between themselves. And Pilate went again into the judgment hall, and sayeth unto Jesus, whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then sayeth Pilate unto, speakest thou not unto me, knowest thou not that I have the power to crucify thee, and have the power to release thee? Jesus answered, thou couldst have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above. Therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thence Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, if thou let this man go, thou art no Caesar's friend. Whoever so maketh him a king, speaketh against Caesar. So again, they're trying to manipulate Pontius Pilate. I actually have a lot of empathy for Pontius Pilate. We talked about this on the dark outpost last week when we covered section nine.  And honestly, Pontius Pilate really wants to let Jesus go, because he sees that there is nothing wrong with Jesus. This brings us to verse 21. Pilate called together the chief priest and rulers of the people. When he was set down on judgment seat, his wife sent upon him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man, for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. And Pilate said unto them, ye have brought this man unto me, as one that proverbeth the people, and behold, I have examined him before you, and have found no fault in this man touching those things. Whereof he accused him, no, nor yet hered, for I have sent you to him, and lo, nothing worthy of death was found in him. But ye have a custom that I should release unto you, one at the Passover. Will ye therefore that I release unto you the king of the Jews? So now Pilate's like, listen, okay, so you have this Passover rule that I'm going to release a prisoner. So maybe if I give you that option to release Jesus, you'll release him, because Jesus has done absolutely nothing wrong, and it's absolutely ridiculous that you brought him to me, because I see that you are just actually envious of his popularity.  So anyway, now we go to verse 24. Then they cried again, saying, not this man, but Borobus. Now Borobus was a robber, and for sedition made in the city, and for murder was cast into prison. Pilate therefore willing to release Jesus spake again to them, whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? Jesus Borobus, or Jesus which is called the Christ? And they said Borobus. Pilate said unto them, what then shall I do with Jesus which is called the Christ? And they say unto him, let him be crucified. And the governor said, why would evil have he done? But they cried out all the more, saying, crucify him, crucify him. Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto him, behold again that I bring forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. And again they cried out, crucify him, crucify him. And Pilate said unto them the third time, why would evil have he done? I have found no cause of death in him. I will therefore chastise him and let him go. And they were insistent with loud voices requiring that he might be crucified, and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tomblet was made, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person, see you to it. Then answered all the people and said, his blood be on us and on our children. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required, and he delivered Jesus to their will. Election 82, the crucifixion. Then released he Borobus unto them, and when he had scorched Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. When the soldiers of the governor took Jesus to the common hall and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him and put on him a purple robe. And when they had plated a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and a reed in his right hand. And they bowed the knee before him and mocked him, saying, Hail King of the Jews. Then came Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, Behold this man. When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him.  And after that they mocked him. They took the robe off of him and put his own raiment on him and led him away to crucify him. And as they led him away, they behold one Simon, a Syrian, coming out of the country. And on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people and of women, which also bewailed and laminated him. But Jesus turning to them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren. And the wombs that never bear, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us and to the hills cover us. For it they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry. And there was also two other male factors led with him to be put to death. And when they were come into a place called Calgary in Golgotha, that is to stay a place of the skull, where they crucified him and the male factors one on the right hand and the other on the left. And it was in the third hours when they crucified him and they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall. And when he had tasted thereof he would not drink. And Jesus said, Abba Amma forgive them for they know not what they do. Then the soldiers when they crucified Jesus took his raiment and made four parts to every soldier apart. And also his vesture. Now the vesture was out without seam woven from the top and throughout. They said therefore among themselves let us not rend it and cast lots for it those who it shall be. That the scripture might be fulfilled which sayeth they parted my raiment among them. And for my vestures they did cast lot. These things therefore the soldiers did and sitting down they watched him there. And a superscription was also written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew. This is the king of the Jews. And this title then read many of the Jews for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city and it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. Then said the chief priest to the Jews and to Pilate right not to the king of the Jews but that he said I am the king of the Jews. Pilate answered what I have written I have written. And one of the malfactors which were hanged railed on him saying if thou be the Christ save thyself and us but the other answered rebuking him saying does not thou fear God seeing thou art in the same condemnation. And we indeed justly for we received the due reward of our deeds but this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus Lord remember me when thou comest into the kingdom. And Jesus said unto him verily I say unto thee to this day shout thou be with me in paradise.  Likewise also the chief priest mocked him while the scribes and elders said he saved a lamb he himself cannot save. If he be the king of Israel let him now come down off the Christ and we will believe him. He trusted in God let him deliver him now if he will have him for he said I am the son of God. The users and the dealers and beast and birds also cast the like things into his teeth saying thou who drivest from the temple the traitors and oxen and sheeps and doves art thyself but a sheep that is sacrificed. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness all over the land unto the night power and some standing around lightened their torches for the darkness was very great. And about the sixth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice my God my God why hast thou forsaken me? Some of them stood there when they heard this and said this man calleth for Elias another said he calleth on the son the rest said let be let us see whether Elias will come to save him.   After this Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished that the scriptures might be fulfilled saith I am a thirst and from a vessel they filled the sponge with vinegar and put it upon a stick and put it to his mouth and Jesus cried with a loud voice saying Abba Amma into thy hand I command my spirit. When Jesus had therefore received the vinegar he cried aloud it is finished and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost and it was the ninth hour and behold there was a great thunder and lightning and the partitioned wall of the holy place from which hung the veil fell down and was rent in twain and earth did quake and the rocks were also rent. Now when the centurion and they that were with him watched Jesus saw the earthquake and those things that were done they feared greatly saying truly this was the Son of God and many many women were there which followed from Galilee ministering unto them and among them were Mary the mother of Jesus and Jonas and the mother of Zebediah children and the laminated saying the light of the world is hid from our eyes and the Lord our love is crucified. Then the Jews because it was the preparation that the body should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath for it was pass over Sabbath they besought Pilate and their legs might be broken that they might be taken down. Then came the soldiers and break the legs of the two who were crucified with him but when they came to Jesus they saw that he was dead already they break not his legs but one soldier with the spear pierced his heart and floweth came there out blood and water and when he saw it was bare record and his record is true he knoweth that he sayeth true that ye might believe for these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled a bone of him shall not be broken and again in the midst of the week the Messiah shall be cut off. Election 83 the burial of Jesus. Now when the event came Joseph of Armaith an honorable counselor who also waited for the kingdom of God came and went in boldly upon Pilate and craved the body of Jesus. He was a good man and just and had not consented to the counsel and the deed of them and Pilate marbled if he were already dead and calling unto him the centurion he asked him whether he had been any while dead and he knew it of the centurion he gave the body to Joseph he came therefore and took the body of Jesus and there came also Nicodermas who at first came to Jesus by night and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes about a hundred weight and they took they the body of Jesus and wound it in linen cloths with the spices as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden and in the garden there was a new specular wherein was never man yet late. There laid the Jesus therefore and it was about the beginning of the second watch when they buried him because of Jesus's preparation day for the specular was nigh at hand. So a specular is a burial room a room where they laid the bodies as we know that's where Jesus was laid inside of the tomb it's kind of like a tomb basically they're saying this this tomb had never been used before he was the only body inside of it this brings us to verse five and Mary Magdalene and the other Mary and the Mary of Jonas beheld where he laid there at the tomb they can't watch for three days and three nights and the women also who came with him from Galilee followed after bearing lamps in their heads and beheld the specular and how his body was laid and they made limitations over him and they returned and rested the next day being a high day and on the day following they brought and prepared spices and ointments and waited for the end of the Sabbath. Now the next day that followed the chief priest and the Pharisees came together unto Pilate saying sir we remembered that deceiver said while he was yet alive after three days I will rise again command therefore that a specular be made sure until the third day be passed least his disciples come by night and steal him away and say unto the people he has risen from the dead so the last air shall be worse than the first Pilate said unto them ye have a watch go your way make it sure as you can so they went and made the specular sure sealing the stone and setting a watch till the third day should pass so yeah we spoke about this on the on the dark outpost this is also in the canonized bible that these priests and these Pharisees who already brought Jesus to Pontius Pilate to be crucified because they were envious of Jesus were now concerned that the disciples would steal Jesus's body and trick people and say that he had risen from the dead so now they're asking Pilate to send guards to like guard the tomb to make sure that they don't do this and Pilate's like whatever man just get your guys and go go guard the tomb do what you got to do so this brings us to lecture 84 the resurrection of Jesus verse one now after the Sabbath was ended and it began to dawn on the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene to the specular bearing spices which she had prepared and there were others with her and as they were going they said among themselves who shall roll away the stone from the door of the specular for it was great and when they come to the place and looked they saw that the stone was rolled away so again they put a stone in front of the tomb so that people couldn't get in and out we again talked about this on the dark outpost it was a really heavy stone women could not have moved that stone and as the women are walking up to the tomb they're actually worried about getting into the tomb to be able to put spices on the body because they know that there is now a stone in front of it now we get to verse three for behold there was a great earthquake and the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it his countess was like lightning and his raiment white as snow and for fear of him the keepers did shake and became dead as men I take this to mean the whole place as and for fear of him the keepers to shake and became his dead men they freaking passed out because they were so afraid I don't blame them that would be pretty pretty pretty intense to see that happened and the angel answered and said into the women fear not ye for I know ye seek Jesus which was crucified he is not here for he has risen as he said come see the place where the Lord lay and go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead and behold he goeth before you into Galilee there shall ye see him low I have told you and they entered in and found not the body of Jesus then she ran and came to Simon Peter and the other disciples whom Jesus loved and said unto them they have taken away the Lord out of the specular and we know not where they have laid him and they ran and came to the specular and looking in they saw the linen clothes lying and the napkin that had been laid about his head not lying with the linen clothes but wrapped in a place by itself and it came to pass as they were much perplexed behold two angels stood by then and glistening garments of white and said unto him why seek ye the living among the dead he is not here he has risen and behold he goeth before you into Galilee there shall we see him remember ye not how he spake unto you when he was not in Galilee and a son of man should be crucified and he would rise again on the third day and they remembered his words and they went out quickly and fled from the specular for they trembled with amazement and they were afraid now at the time of the earthquake the graves were open and many of the saints which slept arose and came out came out of the graves after his resurrection and went into the city and appeared unto many but Mary stood without at the specular weeping and as she wept she again stooped down and looked into the specular and saw all two angels in white garments and one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain and they said unto her woman why weepest thou she sayeth unto them because they have taken away my Lord and I know not where they laid him and when she had thus said she turned herself back and saw Jesus standing and knew not that it was Jesus so remember we have learned throughout this gospel and the other Gnostic Gospels we've studied that Mary Magdalene was Jesus's wife Jesus does say this many times throughout the gospel she was actually his second wife he was we know from this gospel that he was married at the age of 18 to another woman named Miriam who died seven years after after their marriage and then he married Mary Magdalene so for Mary Magdalene the death of Jesus is is way more intense probably on a very human level than the other disciples because Jesus was her Christ was her Messiah was her teacher and was also her husband and so I can't even imagine what she was going through and the confusion and all the emotions that she was experienced so now we get to verse 13 Jesus sayeth unto her woman why weepest thou who seekest thou she supposing him to be the gardener sayeth unto him sir if thou have borne him hence tell me where that thou hast laid him and I will take him away Jesus said unto her Mary and she turned herself and sayeth unto him rabbi which is to say master Jesus sayeth unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my father one with my mother but go to my brethren and say unto them I ascend unto my parent and your parent to my God and your God and Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things unto her and commanded her to announce his a resurrection from the dead this brings us to election 85 Jesus risen again appear to at the Emmaus and behold two of them went the same day to the village called Emmaus which was from Jerusalem about three score for a long and they walked together of all these things which has happened and it came to pass that while they commune together and reasoned Jesus himself junior and went with them but their eyes were holding that they should not know him so these two guys are chatting talking about all these crazy things that have happened in in Jerusalem you know the earthquake the guy rising from the dead all this stuff and Jesus appears and they don't know it's Jesus but appears to them while they're walking down the street verse 3 and he said unto them what matter of communications are these that you are having with them one another as you walk in our sat so Jesus is like what's going on why you guys were sad and one of them whose name was Cleophas answered saying unto him are thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and has not known the things which have come to pass there in these days and he said unto him what things I find this a little humorous we talked about this in the dark outpost Cleophas is like dude you're not new from here you're obviously like in Jerusalem you you know what happens I'm pretty big has happened in Jerusalem and Jesus is like what happened tell me what happened I don't know which I find kind of funny verse 5 and they said unto him considering concerning Jesus of Nazareth who is also a prophet mighty indeed in word before God and all the people and how the chief priest and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and have crucified him but we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel and beside all of this three days have passed since these things were done so remember two guys the the the old Jewish faith they knew there was going to be a messiah that was going to come to free Israel like that was in their the Old Testament or the Hebrew Bible and they were sure that Jesus was the one now I think what the confusion was is they didn't realize that this was a spiritual saving not an actual saving of an earthly kingdom the Israel Israelites of the olden days definitely went through hell and back being enslaved by so many different nations and so they were expecting a real like literal releasing of Israel and what Jesus came to do the messiahs came to do was was spiritual which is then as we get into the early Christian faith we're obviously getting to Gnosis or Gnosticism which is what the original faith was all about this brings us to verse six he and certain women also of our company made us astonished which we were early at the specular where they found not his body they came saying that they had also seen visions of angels who said that he was alive and if certain of them who were with us went to the specular and found it even so as the woman had said but he they saw not then he said into them all fools and soul of heart to believe all of the prophets had spoken ought not Christ to have suffered these things and then enter into his glory and beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded unto them in the scriptures these things concerning himself and when they drew nigh unto the village whether they went he made as though he would have gone further but they constrained him saying abide with us for it is towards the evening and the day is far spent he went into terry with them so jesus was going to keep traveling but the two two guys who didn't know it was jesus was like no no no you can't it's getting it's getting late you should come with us and it came to pass that he said at the table with them he took bread the fruit of the vine and gave thanks blessed and break and gave to them and their eyes were opened and they knew him and he vanished out of sight so all of a sudden as they're eating they figure out it's jesus and bright as they realize who they've been talking to this whole time he vanished and they said to one another did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us by the way and while he opened to us the scriptures and they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the 12 gathered together and them that were saying the Lord has risen indeed and hath appeared to simon and they told what things were done in the way and how he was known of them and breaking the bread now while they had been going to Emea some of them of the watch came into the city and showed unto Caiaphas what things have been done and they assembled with the elders and took counsel and said behold all the soldiers slept some of his disciples came and took his body away and is not joseph of army of thought one of his disciples for this cause then did he beg for the body from Pilate that he might bury it in the garden in his own tune let us therefore give money to the soldiers saying yay his disciples came by night and sold him away while we slept and if this comes to the ears of the governor we will persuade him and secure you so they're still not believing it like they still think that this really rich joseph guy like paid off the the guards so that they could take the body of jesus and fool everybody these Pharisees just don't quite get it do they election 86 jesus appears in the temple and blood sacrifices cease verse 1 the same day at the time of sacrifice in the temple there appeared among the dealers and the beast and in the birds one clothed in white raiment bright as light and in his hand a whip of seven cords he's already when he was in human form before his crucifixion he already whipped all of them in the temple and now we're seeing him again in spirit form whipping as well and at the side of him those who sold and bought flood and terror and some of them fell as dead men for they remembered how before his death jesus had driven them away from the temple enclosed in the like manner and some declare that they had seen a spirit and others said that they had seen him who was crucified and that that he had risen from the dead and the sacrifices ceased that day in the temple for all who were in fear and none could be had to sell or buy but rather let their captives go free and the priests and elders caused a report to be spread that they who had seen it were drunken and that they had seen nothing but many had affirmed they had seen him with their own eyes and felt on their backs the scourge or the that but were powerless to resist for when some of the boulder among them put forth their hands they could not seize this form which they beheld nor grasped the whip which chastised them and from that time these believed in jesus and that he was sent from the god to deliver and oppress them and free those who were bound and they turned from their ways and sinned no longer to others he also appeared in love and mercy and held them by his touch and delivered them from the hands of the persecutor and many light things were reported of him and many said of a truth the kingdom has come in some of those who slept and risen when jesus rose from the dead appeared and were seen by many in the holy city and a great fear fell upon the wicked but the light and gladness came to the righteous at heart election 87 jesus appeared to his disciples first one then the same day at evening being the first day of the week when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the jews came jesus and stood in the midst and saith unto them peace be unto you but they were afraid and scosed they had seen a spirit so remember the the disciples are fugitives now they they're hiding we've talked about this many many times going through there the the gospels that were lost from like philip and mary and all the other disciples that were included in in the canonized bible but they were fugitives they knew that that they um the ruling elite wanted them dead verse 2 and he say unto them behold it is I myself like as ye have seen me after time a spirit can indeed appear in flesh and bones as ye see me have behold my hands and my feet handle and see and when he had said so he showed unto them his hands and his heart then where the disciples glad when they saw the lord for thomas called didimus that's another gospel we started with actually when we went through these gnostic gospels was the thomas the gospel of thomas or didimus which means the twin one of the disciples had said unto them except I shall see seen his hands the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his heart I will not believe then saith he to thomas behold my hands my heart and my feet reach hither thy hands and not be faithless but believing and thomas answered and said unto him my lord and my god very famous line from doubting thomas and jesus saith unto him thomas because thou hast seen me thou hast believed blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed then saith jesus unto them peace be unto you as abba amma hath sent me even so I send you and when he had said this he breathed on them and said unto them receive ye holy ghost preach the gospel and announce ye unto all nations the resurrection of the son of man teach ye the holy law of love which I delivered unto you and whosoever forsake it their sin they are remitted unto them and whosoever continue in their sins they are retained unto them baptize them who believe and repent bless and anoint them and offer ye the pure ablation of the fruit of the earth which I have appointed unto you for a memorial of me lo I have given my body and my blood to be offered on the cross for the redemption of the world from sin against love and from the bloody sacrifice and feast of the past and ye shall offer the bread of life and the wine of salvation for a pure ablation with incense as it is written of me and ye shall eat and drink their off for a memorial that I have delivered all who believe in me from the ancient bondage of your ancestors for they making a god of their belly sacrificed unto to their god the innocent creatures of the earth in place of the carnal nature within themselves so again the eating of meat and eating of their flesh and drinking of their blood to their own destruction corrupted their bodies and shortened their days even as the Gentiles who knew not the truth or who knowing it have changed it into a lie and it's interesting David mentioned that before in the dark outpost that in the Old Testament we see people living for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years and so it seems that they possibly lived for that law because they did not eat meat and Jesus is saying that now that they shortened their days because they started eating meat as I send you so send ye others also to do these things in my name and he laid his hands upon them in the like manner as the apostles so also be ordained prophets and evangelists and pastors a holy priesthood and afterward he laid his hands upon those they chose for deacons one of each of the 412 and these are for the rule and guidance of the church universal that all may be perfected in their places in the unity of the body of the Christ so this brings us to election 88 the eighth day after the resurrection first one and after seven days again his disciples were within the upper room then came Jesus the door being shut and stood in their midst and said peace be unto you and he was known unto them in holy memorial and he said unto them love ye one another and all the creatures of God yet I say unto you not all are men who are in the form of men are they men are women in the image of God whose ways are ways of violence of oppression and wrong who choose to lie rather than the truth verily till they are born again and receive the spirit of love and wisdom within their hearts then only are they sons and daughters of Israel and being of Israel they are children of God and for this cause I came into the world and for this I have suffered at the hands of sinners so again remember the Israelites or the kingdom of Israel is not an actual place it's a group of people it's people that follow the law of love or the law of Jesus verse four these are the words which I speak unto you while I was yet with you that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of moses and in the prophets and in Psalms concerning me and Jesus said I stood in the midst of the world and in the flesh was I seen and heard and I found all men glutted with their own pleasures and drunk with their own follies and none found I hungry or at thirst for the wisdom which is of God my soul grievous over the sons and daughters of the men because they are blind in their heart and in their soul they are deaf and hear not my voice then opening he their understanding that they might understand the scriptures and said unto them thus it is written and thus it is behooved the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead after the third day and that repentance and remission of sin should be preached in my name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem and ye are witnesses of these things and behold I sin my promise of my parent upon you even of my father one with my mother whom you have not seen on this earth for I say unto you of truth as the whole world have been ruined by the sin and vanity of woman so by the simplicity and truth of woman shall it be saved even by you shall it be saved rejoicing therefore and be glad for year more blessed than all who are on earth for it is ye my 12 000 who shall save the whole world again I say unto you when the greatest tyrant and all the seven tyrants began to fight in vain against the light they knew not with whom or what they fought for they saw nothing beyond a dazzling light and when they fought they expanded their strength against one another and so it is and for this cause I took forth part of their strength so they might not have such power and prevail in their evil deeds for by evolution and evolution shall the salvation of the world be accomplished by the descent of spirit into matter and the ascent of matter into spirit through the ages so he's saying that this faith is going to evolve and go all over the world which we know is is true election 89 this is the last last election of section nine and this is Jesus appearance at the sea after these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea and on this why showed he himself there were together Simon Peter Thomas called Didymus and Nathaniel of Cana and Galilee and James and John and two other of his disciples and Peter unto them I go fishing and they say unto him we also go with thee they went forth and entered into a ship immediately and that night they caught nothing and then when morning was now come Jesus stood on the shore but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus so it's interesting Jesus told them to stop you guys shouldn't be eating meat and then they went fishing and they couldn't they couldn't catch anything that's kind of funny then Jesus said unto them children have ye any meat so Jesus is testing them they answered him Nay Lord not enough for all there is not but a small loaf a little oil and a few dried fruits and he say unto them let these suffice come and dine like again let this suffice do not eat the fish do not eat the animals don't do that they are God's children too and he blessed them and they ate and were filled and there was a pitcher of water also and he blessed it likewise and low it was the fruit of the vine and they marveled and said is it the Lord and none of the disciples dust asked him who art thou knowing it was the Lord this is now the sixth time Jesus showed himself to his disciples after that he was risen from the dead so when they had dined Jesus sayeth to Peter son of Jonas love us to me more than these and he sayeth unto them ye Lord thou knowest that I love thee he sayeth unto him feed my lambs he sayeth unto him again the second time Peter son of Jonas love us to me he sayeth unto him ye Lord they knowest that I love thee he said unto him feed my sheep he sayeth unto him a third time Peter son of Jonas love us to me Peter was greed because he has said unto him the third time love us to me and he said unto him Lord thou knowest all things thou knowest that I love thee and Jesus said unto him feed my flock fairly fairly I say unto thee thou art a rock and from the rock and on this rock I will build my church and I will raise the above my twelve to be my viscount upon the earth for a century of unity to the twelve and another shall be called and chosen to fill that place among the twelve and now shall be the servant of servants and shall feed my rams and my sheep and my lambs and yet another shall rise and he shall teach many things which I have taught you already and he shall spread the gospel among the Gentiles with great zeal but the keys of the kingdom will I give to those who succeed thee in my spirit and obeying my law and again I say unto thee when thou wasst young thou girdest thyself and walketh wither thou wouldest but when thoust be old thou shall stretch forth thy hands in another and shall gird these and carry thee wither thou wouldst not this spake he signify excuse me by what death he should glorify God so yes in a very old English way he is telling Peter that he's going to die of crucifixion as well which we know is true and when he had spoken with this he saith unto him follow me then Peter turning about seeing the disciples whom Jesus loved following Peter seeing him saith to Lord Jesus what shall this man do Jesus saith upon him if I will that he tarry till I come what is thou to thee follow thou to me then when they're saying abroad among the brethren that the disciples should not die yet Jesus said unto him he shall not die but if I will he will tarry till I come what is done to thee and that ends section nine so this brings us to section 10 election 90 through 96 this will end the gospel of the holy 12 which I'm very sad to see this gospel go but I'm sure we will find lots more interesting stories from the other band or heretical gospels so section 10 election 90 is titled what is truth verse one again the 12 were gathered together in the circle of palm trees and one of them even Thomas said to the other what is truth for the same things appear different to different minds and even to the same mind at different times what then is truth it's very very good point seems like we're getting into some gnosis some inner knowledge the idea that truth can at times be relative verse two says and as they were speaking Jesus appeared in their midst and said truth one in absolute is in God alone for no man neither anybody of men knoweth that which God alone knoweth who is the all in all to men is truth revealed according to their capacity to understand and receive that makes a lot of sense right the one truth half many sides and one seeth one side only another seeth another and some sees more than others according at his as it is given to them behold this crystal how the one light is manifest in 12 faces yay four times 12 and each face reflect one ray of light and one regarded one face and one another but it is in the one crystal and the one light that shineth in all behold again it would one climb at the mountain and attain one height he sayeth this is the top of the mountain let us reach it and when they have reached that height low they see another beyond it until they come to that height from which no other height is to be seen if so be they can attain it so it is with truth I am the truth and the way the light and have given to you the truth I have received from above and that which is seen and received by one and is not seen and received by another that which appeared true to some seameth not true to others they who are in the valley see not as they who are on top of the hill but to each it is truth as the one mind seeth and for that time till a higher truth shall be revealed unto the same and to the soul which received with higher light shall be given more light wherefore condemn not others that ye be not condemned so don't judge other people because you can see more reality than they can don't judge them because you still have more to learn as well that makes total sense to me it's like that saying the more that you learn the less you actually know verse 8 goes on to say as you keep the holy law of love which I have given unto you so shall the truth be revealed more and more unto you and the spirit of the truth which cometh from above shall guide you I'll bat through many wonderings into all truth even as the fiery cloud guided the children of israel through the wilderness be faithful to the light ye have till a higher light is given to you seek more light and ye shall have abundantly rest not till you find god give if you all truth as a ladder with many steps for the salvation and perfection of the soul and the truth which seameth today ye will abandon for the higher truth of tomorrow press ye unto perfection who so keep it the holy law which I have given the same shall have their souls however differently when they may see the truth which I have given many shall say unto me Lord Lord we have been zealous for thy truth but I shall say unto them nay but that others may see as ye see and none other truth beside faith without clarity is dead love is the fulfillment of law how shall faith and what they perceive profit them that hold it in unrighteousness they who have love have all things and without love there is nothing worth let each hold what they see to be the truth in love knowing that where love is not truth is dead letter and profited nothing so do all things in love you know there are a lot of churches out there a lot of christian churches out there that do things out of hate they use god and they use jesus and they use the faith as a weapon to try to condemn people for their lust for violence which obviously jesus is saying here that that's that's not correct we do things in love verse 14 goes on to say there abide goodness truth and beauty but the greatest of these is goodness if any have hatred to their fellows and harden their hearts to the creatures of god's hands how can they see the truth unto salvation seeing their eyes are blinded and their hearts are hardened to god's creation as I have received the truth so I've given it to you let each receive it according to their light and ability to understand and persecute not those who receive it after a different interpretation interesting don't persecute people who have a different opinion of you a different truth if it's all done in love very interesting isn't it for the truth is the might of god and it shall prevail in the end over all errors with the holy law which I have given is the plan for all and just and good let all observe it for the salvation of their soul this takes us to lection 91 the order of the kingdom part one verse one in that time after jesus had risen from the dead he tarried 90 days with mary his mother and mary magdalene who anointed his body and mary cleophas and the 12 and their fellows instructing them and answering questions concerning the kingdom of god so he hung out with them for about three months that's 90 days after he had risen and as they ate supper even it was even mary magdalene asked him saying master will that now declare us the order of the kingdom and jesus answered saying verily I say unto the oh mary into each of any disciple the kingdom of heaven is within you but the time cometh when that which is within shall be made manifest in the without for the sake of the world order indeed is good and needful but before all things is love love you one another and all the creatures of god and by this shall all men know that you are my disciples and one asked him saying mastered will thought the infants be received into congregation in like manner as moses commanded by the circumcision and jesus answered for those who are in christ there is no cutting of flesh nor shedding of blood that's fascinating wow okay so that's saying that that there should be no more circumcising I'm not a man so I don't really have an opinion on that I just find that very very fascinating let the infant of eight days be presented unto the father and mother who is in heaven with prayer and thanksgiving and let a name be given to it by its parents and let the presbyteris sprinkle pure water upon it according to that which is written in the prophets and let its parents see to it that is brought up with the ways of righteousness neither eating flesh nor drinking strong strong drink nor hurting the creatures which god have given into the hands of man to protect yeah so we should not be raising our children as meat eaters or drinkers apparently interesting right again one said unto him master how will thou when they grow up and jesus answered after seven years or when they begin to know the evil from good and learn to choose good let them come unto me and receive the blessings at hand of the presbyter or the angel of the church with prayer and thanksgiving and let them be a bondage to keep from flesh eating and strong drink and from hunting the innocent creatures of god for shall they be lower than the horse or the sheep to whom these things are against nature and again he said if they're come to us any that eat flesh and drink strong drink shall we receive them and jesus said unto him let such abide in the outer court till they cleans themselves from these grosser evils grosser evils or till they perceive and repent of these they are not fit to receive the higher mysteries wow that's super interesting so if you're still eating meat he's saying you there are certain things you won't understand because your mind is being influenced by the way your body is reacting to the meat you're eating i this it this makes sense to me with yoga we we cleanse our bodies with yoga too so that our mind may be pure and not corrupted verse nine goes on to say and another asking him when when wilt thou they receive baptism and jesus answered after another seven years or when they know the doctrine and do that which is good and learn to work with their own hands and choose a craft whereby they may live and they are steadfastly set on the right way then let them ask for initiation and let the angel or presbyteria of the church examine them and see if they are worthy and let him offer thanksgiving and prayer and bury them in the waters of separation that they may rise to newness of life confessing god as their father and mother bowing to obey the holy law and keep themselves separate from the evil in the world and another asked him master at what time shall they receive the anointing and jesus answered when they have reached the age of maturity and manifested in themselves the seven fold gifts of the spirit then let the angel offer prayer and thanksgiving and seal them with the seal of chris chrism it is good that all be tried in each degree seven years nevertheless let it be unto each according to their own growth in love and wisdom of god so i grew up presbyterian and in the presbyterian church we are baptized as babies i was born in february of 1983 and i was actually baptized by that Easter of 1983 and so jesus is saying not to do that though he's saying that we should be older and we should actually understand what's happening when we take the baptism however i do know that from ancient culture that the baptism of babies was something that our ancestors did out of fear that a baby would die early they thought that by having the baptism the baby would enter into paradise which in my opinion the baptism really doesn't matter at all because it's all about the integrity and and the intent of the heart and the soul now it's interesting with my yoga practice i do every single morning i feel like that's my daily baptism it's my daily anointing of the spirit of god or trying to find that spirit of god that piece of god so that i can go about my day in the law of love and doing it everything in love sometimes i fail as we all do but it's very interesting how we talked about it how it needs to be reoccurring so this brings us to election 92 which is the order of the kingdom part two verse one and another asked him master will thou there be marriages among us as it among the nations of the earth and jesus answered saying among some it is the custom that one woman marry several men who shall say unto her be thou our wife and take away our reproach among others it is the custom that one marry several women and who shall say unto him be thou our husband and take away our reproach for they who love feel it as a reproach to be unloved but unto you my disciples i show a better and more perfect way even this that marriage should be between be between one man and one woman who by perfect love and symphony are united and while love and life do last how about in perfect freedom and let them see to it that they have perfect health and that they truly love each other in all purity and not for worldly advantages only and then let them play their trough one to another before witnesses and then we go on to verse three then when the time has come let the angel of presbyteria offer prayer and thanksgiving and bind them with this scarlet cord for ye will and crown them and lead them thrice around the altar and let them eat one of the bread and drink of one cup then holding their hands together let him say to them in this wise be two and one bless be the holy union for whom god doth join together let no man put asunder so long as life in love do last and if they bear children let them do so with discretion and prudence according to their ability to maintain them wow that's interesting there are people in the christian faith who practice quiverful which is having as many children as you possibly can um but jesus is saying here be mindful you know with discretion i don't think he's saying to go have an abortion by any means but i'm seeing like you can try to not to get pregnant that's super interesting nevertheless to those who would be perfect and to whom it is giving i say let them be as angels of god in heaven who neither marry nor are given in marriage nor have children nor care for the morrows but are free from bond even as i am and keep and store up the powers of god within for their ministry for works of healing even as i have done but that many cannot receive the saying only they to whom it is given so this brings us to verse five and another asked him saying master in what manner shall we offer the holy ablation and jesus answered saying the ablation which god loveth in secret is a pure heart before a memorial of worship offer ye unloved bread mingled wine oil and incense and ye come together in one place to offer the holy ablation the lamps being lightened let whom who persided even the angel of the church or the presbyter having clean hands and a pure heart take from the things offered unloved bread and mingled wine with incense and let him give thanks over them and bless them calling upon the father mother in heaven to send their holy spirit that it may come upon and make them to be the body and blood even the substance in life of the eternal which is ever being broken and shed for all and let him lifted up towards heaven and pray for all even for those who are gone before for those who are yet alive and for those who are yet to come as i've taught you so pray and after this let him break the bread and put a fragment in the cup and then bless the holy union and let him give unto the faithful saying after this manner this is the body of christ even the substance of god ever being broken and shed for you and for all unto eternal life as you have seen me do so do ye also in the spirit of love for the words i speak unto you they are the spirit and they are life this brings us to election 93 the order of the kingdom part three and spake another saying master if one half committed sin can a man remit or attain his sin and jesus said god forgive with all sin to those who repent but as ye so also must ye reap so even though god is going to forgive you that's not going to take you away from from karma right what goes around comes around you have to eat calls in effect you have to go through the consequences of your actions neither god nor man can remit the sins of those who repent nor forsake their sins nor yet retain the sins of those who forsake them but if one being in spirit see it clearly that any repent and forsake their sins such may truly say unto the pennant thy sins are forget forgiven thee for all sin is remitted by repentance and amendment and they are loosed from it who forsaken it and bounded who continue it nevertheless the fruit of sin must continue for a season for as we so must we reap for god is not mocked and they who so to the flesh shall reap corruption and they who so to the spirit shall reap life everlasting wherefore it any forsake their sins and confess them let the presbyter say unto such in this wise may god forgive thee thy sins and bring thee to everlasting life all sin against god is forgiven by god and sin against man by man and another asked him saying if any be sick among us shall we have power to hill even as thou doest and jesus answered this power cometh of perfect chastity and of faith they who are born of god keep their seed within them nevertheless if any be sick among you let them sin for the presbyter of the church that they may anoint them with oil of olive in the name of the lord and prayer of faith and the going out of power with the voice of thanksgiving shall rise them up if they are not detained by sin of this or a former life so sometimes what we're going through in life cannot be fixed because it is the effect of something we did a cause we had in a prior existence and throughout this we've seen jesus speak of this cycle of birth and death and that reincarnation was a pillar of the christian faith in the original faith verse five and another asked him master how shall the holy assemble be ordered and who shall minister therein and jesus answered when my disciples are gathered in my name let them choose from among themselves true and faithful men and women who shall be ministers and counselors and temporal things and provide for the necessities of the poor and those who cannot work and let these look to ordering of the goods of the church and assist in the ablation and let these be your deacons with their help and when these have given proof of their ministry let them choose from them who has spiritual gifts gifts of guidance or prophecy or preaching of teaching and healing that they may edify the flock offer the holy ablation and minister the mysteries of god and let these be your presbyters and their helps and from these who have served well in their degree let one be chosen who is counted in most worthy and let him preside over all and he shall be your angel and let the angel ordain the deacons and consecrate the presbyters anoint them and lay their hands upon them and breathing upon them that they may receive the holy spirit for the office to which they are called and as the angel let one the higher ministry anoint and consecrate him even one of the supreme counsel for as I send apostles and prophets so also I send evangelists and pastors for eight and forty pillars of the tabernacle that by the ministry of the four I may build upon and perfect my church and they shall sit in Jerusalem a holy congregation each with his helper and deacon and to them shall be scattered congregations refer in all matters pertaining to the church and as light cometh to shall they rule and guide and edify and teach my holy church they shall receive light from it and to all shall they give more light so it's interesting because we know from the last section and from the bible the canonized bible that Peter is the disciple that God or Jesus built his church upon and we know that Peter Saint Peter's Basilica is in Rome Italy but we also know that the Vatican means the head of the serpent and we know that the Catholic church has been heavily corrupted and we see a lot of these other gospels that Jesus's brother James was ahead of the church in Jerusalem so that's interesting that he's saying here that in Jerusalem that's where the main church should be so that's some interesting little history there that we probably don't have a lot of information on where the hiccup happened between Peter and James Peter and in Rome and James in Jerusalem and I'm sure once we have access to the Vatican library we might get more answers to what actually happened there this goes on to verse nine and forget not with your prayers and supplication intercessions and giving of thanks to offer the incense as it is written in the last of your prophets saying from the rising of the sun and to the setting of the same incense shall be offered unto my name and in all places with pure ablation for night my name shall be given among the Gentiles for verily I stand to you incense is the memorial of the intercession of the saints within the veil with words that cannot be uttered this brings us to lecture 94 the order of the kingdom part four verse one and another asked him saying master how wilt thou that we bury our dead and jesus answered seek ye counsel of the deacons in the matter for concern of the body only verily I say unto you there is no death for those who believe in the life to come death as ye deemed it is the door to life and the grave is the gate to resurrection for those who believe and obey morning not nor wait for them that they have left to you but rather rejoice for their entrance into life as all creatures come forth from the unseen into this world so they return to the unseen and so will they come again till they are purified so again another indication that we get many many chances we don't get this it's not just one and done with our lives as humans we get many chances to be purified let the bodies of them that depart be committed to the elements and the father and mother who renew with all things shall give the angels charge over them and let the presbyteria pray that their bodies may rest in peace and their souls awake to a joyful resurrection there is a resurrection from the body and there is a resurrection in the body there is a rising out of the life of the flesh and there is a falling into the life of the flesh so again that's life a cycle of birth and rebirth and death and birth and death and birth again what we call reincarnation let prayer be made for those who are gone before and for those that are alive for those that are yet to come and for all our one family and God and God they live and move and have their being I mean for me especially I don't believe that believing in reincarnation doesn't make you a Christian I think that's just propaganda and fear mongering that the church has done to people to try to make them vulnerable and make them a captive audience to to their power hungry people the God I believe in is a very loving God and will give you multiple times to grow in your soul and so that that doesn't to me it doesn't make you not a Christian because you believe in reincarnation at all so anyway verse four the body that you lay in the grave or that is consumed by fire is not the body that shall be but they who come shall receive other bodies yet their own as they have sown in one life so they shall reap in another blessed are they who have worked righteousness in this life where they shall receive the crown of life sounds very Edgar Cayce doesn't it the things that Edgar Cayce would say and Edgar Cayce himself was a very religious man okay so we go on to verse five and another one asked him saying master under the law of Moses clad the priests with garments of beauty for their administration in the temple shall we also cloth them to whom we commit the ministry of sacred things as thou has taught us and Jesus answered saying white linen is the righteousness of the saints but the time truly cometh when Zion shall be desolate and after the time of her affliction is past she shall arise and put on her beautiful garments at as it is written but Tiki verse the kingdom of righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you and all things seek simplicity and give not occasion to vain glory seek you first to be clothed with charity and the garments of salvation and the robe of righteousness for what doth it profit if you have not these as the sound of brass and tinkering of symbol are ye if you have not love seek ye righteousness and love and peace and all things of beauty shall be added unto you and yet another asked him saying master how many of the rich and mighty will enter into life and join us who are poor and despised how then shall we carry on the work of God in the regeneration of mankind and Jesus said this is also a matter for the deacons for the church and council with the elders but when my disciples are come together on the Sabbath at even or in the morning of the first day of the week let them each bring an offering of tithe or the tithe of a tithe of their increase as God does prosper them and put it in a treasury for the maintenance of the church and the ministry and the works thereof for I say unto you it is more blessed to give than receive so he's talking about tithing here bringing in a little bit of your money that God prospers you with and I I do believe in a sense of tithing of giving back to whom much is given much is expected however I do not tithe to a church because most in my opinion most churches are not good with what they use their money for I'm tired of seeing these like super like flamboyant churches that are just rich beyond measure but yet they're homeless people living down the street I just don't think that's what God meant at all and so I tend to when I tithe I tend to give to charities that I really trust that are really doing good in the work and the world this brings us to the last verse of election 94 this is first 10 so shall all things be done recently in an order and the rest will the spirit set in order who proceeded from the father and mother and heaven I have instructed you now in the first principles and lo I am with you always even until the end of the age election 95 is the ascension verse one and Jesus after he had shown himself alive to his disciples after his resurrection and so joined with him for 90 days teaching and speaking of the kingdom and the things pertaining to the kingdom of God had finished all things he had to do led forth the 12 with Mary Magdalene and Joseph his father and Mary his mother and the other holy women as far as Bethany to the mount called all of where he had appointed them and when they saw him as he stood in the midst of them they worshiped him but some doubted and Jesus baked unto them saying behold I have chosen you from among men and given you the law and the word of truth I have set you as the light of the world and as a city that cannot hide but the time cometh when darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people and the enemies of truth and righteousness shall rule in my name interesting right I was just talking about the corruption of the church and he's basically saying it the enemies of truth and righteousness shall rule in my name in my opinion Pope Francis is one of them and a lot of other Protestant preachers as well and set up a kingdom of this world and oppressed people and calls the enemy to blasphem putting forth my doctrines the opinions of man and teaching in my name that which I have not taught and darkening much that I have taught by their traditions and we know on the dark outpost we've talked about this the Christian church picked up because Constantine through the council of Nicaea Constantine was not Christian he was Mithraic and he put a lot of Mithraic pagan traditions into the Judeo-Christian faith verse four but be of good cheer for the time will also come when the truth they have hidden shall be manifested and the light shall shine and the darkness shall pass away and the true kingdom shall be established which shall be in the world but not of it and the word of the righteousness and love shall go forth from the center even the holy city of Mount Zion and the mount which is the land of Egypt shall be known as an altar of witness unto the Lord and now I go to my parent and your parent if I God and your God but ye tarry in Jerusalem and abide in prayer and after seven days ye shall receive power from on high and the promise of the Holy Spirit shall be fulfilled unto you and ye shall go forth from Jerusalem unto all the tribes of Israel into the other most parts of the world and so we had clarification earlier on in this gospel that Israel the tribes of Israel the Israel people that Jesus spoke about was not an actual country or citizens of the country Israelites are people on the side of light of God not the cabal they are not Israelites they are Canaanites verse six goes on to say and having said these things he lifted up his pure and holy hands and blessed them and it came to pass that while he blessed then he was parted from them in a cloud as the sun and brightness received him out of their sight and as he went up some beheld him by the feet and others worshiped him falling to the earth on their faces and while they gaze steadfastly into the heavens behold hoods too stood by them in white apparel and said ye men of Israel ye stand ye gazing into the heaven this same Jesus who is taken from you in a cloud and as ye have seen him go into heaven shall come again to the earth then they returned unto Jerusalem from the mount of olives which is from the city from the city a Sabbath state journey and as they returned they missed Mary Magdalene looked for her but found her not and some of the disciples said the master had taken her and they marveled and were in great awe now it was midsummer when Jesus ascended into heaven and he had not yet attained his 50th year for it was needed that seven times seven years should be fulfilled in his life ye that he might be perfected by the suffering of all experiences and be an example unto all to children and parents to the married and the celibates to youth and those full of age and into all ages conditions of mortal life so this actually brings us to 96 which is the last selection of the gospel of the holy 12 i'm going to be very sad to put this gospel away but we must move forward on to our next missing gospel which is the gospel of quella or the gospel of q so this is election 96 the pouring out of the spirit verse 1 and the disciples were gathered together in the upper room when they returned from the mount they all continued with one accord and prayer and supplication and their number was about 1 and 20 in that day in that day james stood up and said men and brethren it is known unto you how the lord before he left chose peter to preside over us and watch over us in his name and how it must needs be that one of those who have been with us and a witness at his resurrection be chosen and appointed to take his place verse 3 and they chose two called barse bus and mathias and they prayed and said thou lord who knows the hearts of all man show which of these two has chosen to take part in the apostleship from which thou dost raised thyself served peter to preside over us and they gave forth their lots and a lot fell upon mathias and the twelve received him and he was numbered among the apostles then john and james separated peter from their number by laying on the hands that he might preside over them in the name of the lord saying brother be thou as a hewnstone six squared even though petrus which art petra being witness to the truth on every side and to the apostles were given staves to guide their steps in the ways of truth and crowns of glory with all and to the prophets burning lamps to show light on the path and sensors with fire and to the evangelists the book of the holy law to recrawl the people to the first principles and to the pastors were given the cup and platter to feed and nourish the flock but to none was given ought that was given to all for all were one priesthood under christ as their master great high priest in the temple of god and to the deacons were given baskets that they might carry therein the things needed for the holy worship and the number was about 120 peter presiding over them and when the third day had fully come they were all with one accord in one place and as they prayed there came the sound from the heavens as a rushing of mighty wind and the room in which they were assembled was shaken and it filled the place and their appeal appeared cloven tongues of flame of flame like fire and sat upon the head of each of them and they were all filled with the holy spirit and began to speak with tongues as the spirit gave them utterance and peter stood up and preached the law of christ unto the multitude of all nations and tongues who were gathered together by the report of what had been seen and heard each man hearing in his own tongue wherein he was born and of them that listened there they were gathered unto the church that day three thousand souls and they received the holy law repented of their sins and were baptized and continued steadfastly in the apostles fellowship and worship and the ablation and prayers and they who believed gave up their possessions and had all things in common and abode together in one place showing the love and the goodness of god to their brothers and sisters and to all creatures and working with their hands for the common wheel and from these there were called 12 to be prophets with the apostles and the 12 to be evangelist and the 12 to be pastors and their helps which were added unto them and deacons of the church universal and they numbered 120 and thus was the tabernacle of david set up with the living men filled with goodness even as the master had shown upon them and to the church and Jerusalem was given James the lord's brother for its president and angel and under him four and twenty priests and the four hold ministry and helpers and deacons also and after six days many came together and they were added six thousand men and women who received the holy law of love and they received the word with gladness and as they gathered together on the lord's day after the Sabbath was passed and were offering the holy ablation they missed Mary and Joseph the parents of Jesus and they made search but found them not did some of them said surely the lord have taken them away as he did Magdalene and they were filled with all and sung praises to God so we know Mary Magdalene wasn't actually taken away because she ended up in the south of France I don't believe uh his parents were taken away either so it's kind of interesting I guess we'll keep reading and see what happens if they clear that up but it might have been that there was just speculation I have no idea I wasn't there or 16 and the spirit of God came upon the apostles and the prophets with them and remembering what the Lord had taught them with one voice they confessed and praised God saying we believe in one God the infamed the secret found the eternal parent of whom all things invisible invisible the all and all through all around the holy twain in whom all things consist who have been who is and who shall be we believe in one Lord our lady the perfect holy Christ God of God light of light begotten our Lord the father spouse and son our lady the mother bride and daughter three modes and one essence undivided one bayon trinity that God maybe manifests as father spouse and son of every soul and every soul may be perfected as the mother bride and daughter of God and this by a scent of the soul into spirit and the descent of the spirit into the soul who cometh from heaven and is incarnate of the virgin ever blessed in Jesus Maria in every Christ of God and is born and teaches the way of life and suffer under the world rulers and is crucified in his berry and descended into hell who rises again and ascended into glory from thence giving light and life to all we believe in the seven whole

twelve witnesses chosen of God for the enlightenment of the world unto salvation let him be amen thea marthana until the coming of Christ Jesus Maria our savior savior excuse me with the holy saints for them that believe these things are true for them that believe not they are as an idle tale but to those who with perceiving minds and hearts reading the spirit and the letter which kill it they are spiritual varieties the things that are written are true not because they are written but rather they are written because they are true and these are written and you may believe with your hearts and proclaim with your mouths to the salvation of many amen here into the holy gospel of the perfect life of Jesus Maria the Christ the son of David after the flesh and the son of God after the spirit glory be to God by whose power and help it has been written so again that ends the gospel of the holy twelve very sad i'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions again please join us on the dark outpost on tuesday nights where we really talk about this with David's duplicated we give way more commentary and it's always nice to have somebody else sit there have somebody else's opinion because two minds are are better and mightier than one and i really appreciate all the emails we received of people who have been um very affected by this gospel this has to be one of my favorite gospels i do believe it is a legit gospel um for sure 100 percent i think most of the gospels we've studied so far are legitimate gospels and they bring back the essence of the true christian faith as a practice as a spiritual practice not just a crazy dogma so anyway next week we will start with a book of q or cool i'll probably call the book of cool throughout our whole reading because of censorship of the 17th letter of our alphabet so um and i'm sure we're going to have any comparisons to it because of what's happening as we're living through the apocalypse right now and all this stuff is resurfacing so i would again love to hear your opinions in the comment section below please be kind to each other remember the law of thank you to dash mckay for doing our music if you would like to purchase the opening song there is a link in the description box and thank you for Todd Roderick for um helping me get this video out to you guys today i will talk to you soon bye


Hello everyone, the topic for this session is what is React server side rendering and do I really need it? The topics we are going to cover in this talk are different ways to render a web page, what exactly is happening during each rendering and the comparison between them. As most of you know, there are two ways to render a web page that is client side and server side. Let's start with client side rendering. So this is how the whole process of client side rendering will look like, when the server sends a response to the browser in form of HTML, which will just have the skeleton of the web page or bare minimum code. Browser downloads such as to have the page in an intractable state, browser executes React, any other templating library that you might be using. But all this is happening, you will be seeing a loading icon on your browser to maintain the calm of the user. Once the browser completes execution, the page will be both variable and intractable now. So let's see server side rendering, it's a little bit different than CSR. Server side rendering, server sends very to be rendered HTML response to the browser. The browser renders the page and now it will be variable. And then browser downloads the JS, the browser executes it. When all this is happening, you will be seeing a variable screen on your browser. Once the execution is completed, the page will become now intractable. So this is to highlight the difference between these two. In CSR, though the page will be up a little bit later, but once it's up, it will be both variable and intractable. Whereas in SSR, the page will be up sooner, but you need to wait a little bit longer to have the page in an intractable state. So as you have seen, the server side rendering renders the initial load faster. It is because in CSR, it requires more JavaScript to be downloaded and passed and also needs to make a second HTTP request to load the content. Whereas in SSR, your server's response to the browser is HTML of a page that is ready to be rendered. Hence, the rendering is faster. So you might be thinking, which is better for me then? It's not all black and white, depends on different conditions and scenarios and priorities that you might be having while building your web application. These have a quick comparison between these two to understand that. The advantages of SSR over CSR are initial page load is faster. As we have just discussed, a blank page flicker that happens with CSR isn't a concern for SSR now. It's great for search engine optimizations and the content is up before we get it. The search engine can crawl it and index it efficiently, which is not so possible with CSR. At least not simply. It's great for static sites. If you think of heavily tech-speed sites like New York Times, SSR is a preferable approach in those scenarios. The disadvantages of SSR over CSR are the required frequency of server requests and hence can create bottleneck for the sites which are highly interactive. The throughput of your server is also less compared to CSR. The method that we use in React app to enable server-side rendering, that is React DOM server.render to string is a synchronous CPU pound call which will hold the event loop and hence the server will not be able to process any other request that it completes. It's a big consideration for the application which are going to be highly interactive. And overall slow page rendering since the content, so though the content is rendered and the consumer can see it sooner, but you won't be able to interact it until the browser completes execution. All these reasons lead to non-rig site interactions. So when to use SSR, you might want to use SSR if you needed for search engine optimization, already have a working React app near the best possible performance and are willing to pay for the extra resources. And also if you're planning to have a heavily tech-speed sites, you might don't want to use SSR. If your React app isn't finished yet, get it up and running, then worry about the optimization step. Server resources are scarce, perhaps due to low budget or inability to scale. Yeah, that's all. Thank you.


Hello, my name is Pat Lohr, and I'm a member of the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium's math team. Thanks for joining me today. I'm going to share four examples of number strings based on the ideas of Kathy Fosno. They're designed to give you some ideas about how you can use strings like these to encourage your students to develop good addition strategies. You'll be able to download the files so you can adapt them and make use of them in your classroom if you'd like. I've discussed the first two strings, which make use of 10 frame visuals in Part 1. In Part 2 we'll be looking at the last two strings, which make use of an open number line. This professional learning opportunity is made possible by a grant from Alberta Education to support the implementation of the revised mathematics curriculum. The file has a page of teaching notes with information about the math behind the strings and suggestions for presenting the problems in the classroom. I'll be talking about some of these ideas during the webcast. The four examples of strings are definitely meant to be a starting point for you, and I encourage you to make use of the ideas to create some number strings of your own. I think they'll help move your students on to more abstract ways to work with numbers. So now we're going to have a look at the third number string. This one is designed to help students who have used number lines at school already. It'll introduce them to the idea of an open number line, one that doesn't include divisions and labels for all the numbers. In this string, I'm not using a completely open number line. I'm saving that for the fourth string. If you've already watched Part 1 of this webcast, you may notice that I'm using the exact same string of problems, as I used in example 2, adding five facts. This time, instead of a 10 frame model, I'm going to use a number line marked only at intervals of five. A number line is a powerful model for adding and subtracting numbers. And by removing some of the divisions, I'm trying to push my students beyond counting one by one to find the answers. I always want to start any number string at a place where I'm sure my struggling kids can be successful and try to go to a place such challenging for my strongest kids. It's about helping everyone in the class move forward, rather than trying to get everyone to exactly the same place at the same time. For each example, you're going to ask, who knows the answer? How do you know what was your strategy? You write the answer when it's given and do your best to model the student strategies on the number line. If a student suggests starting at five and then counting on five more, model it like this. But then ask, does anyone have a different strategy that doesn't include counting on one by one? You're really trying to help them move beyond that. Likely, a student will suggest that they could count by fives or know that two fives make one ten. Again, I would model that like this. I suggest you do the writing on the board because it really should be a mini lesson and you don't want it to go on too long. The next question is five plus seven. Notice that I'm only presenting one question at a time and leaving the previous questions and answers on the board. I want to encourage them to use the facts they know to help them with facts they don't know. I'm going to use the same number line, though, so let's erase the work from the last problem. Again, model strategies as they're suggested and ask, did anyone think of it in a different way? Acknowledge a counting on strategy if someone suggests it. But by the second or third problem, I might not actually model it. Remember, we're trying to get them to move on beyond that. Someone might suggest that they start with the five, add another five, and then two more to get twelve, or you may have a student that starts with the seven, adds three more to make the ten, and then two more to get to twelve. Both of those are great strategies. The next problem is five plus six. That's a near double. You might have a student suggest that six plus six is twelve, so the answer would be one less. Model that one like this. So we have six, and six more to make twelve, and then we're going to take one away to give us eleven. When a good strategy is shared, consider asking someone else to restate it in their own words, or ask them all to turn to a neighbor and explain the strategy to them. Next is five plus nine. You can see how important it is that students have a strong understanding of five and ten as anchors, as well as how to take apart numbers. As long as students know that nine is five and four more, then adding the two fives and then the four is a possible strategy. If they know that nine and one more is ten, and that fives of one and a four, then that's another great strategy to start with the nine and make a ten, and then add four more. This also requires that they know five plus nine is the same amount as nine plus five, and that's not always as obvious to our students as we think it is. So this is why my last question presents the problem with the five in the second spot. I'm wondering if anyone will still think of taking the eight apart to make a five and three. Of course, that's not the only good strategy for this one. And there's an even more open number line with only the multiples of ten marked. Move to this model when you think your kids are ready. And I've included a couple of sample number lines with the modeling there for you to have a look at. Okay, let's take a look at the fourth number string. In this one, I'm using a completely open number line, and I'm going to move on to multi-digit addition. One of the reasons we want our kids using flexible strategies for addition basic facts, rather than rote memorization, is that those strategies will be just as powerful and meaningful when it comes time to add larger numbers. This number string is similar to many I've used with my grade five and six students, because they often lack strong number sense, and many lessons like these give us a chance to talk about the concepts they might be missing, like those five and ten anchors I keep talking about. This string of problems will focus on adding with nines, because there are some great strategies and I want to make sure my kids can use them. Again, I start with the fact that I think is within reach of all my students, nine plus seven. You can see that this number line is truly open, no markings at all. I ask the students to show me a thumbs up when they have an answer, and when most are ready, I ask, who knows the answer? What was your strategy? Who thought of it in a different way? I know I sound like a broken record. If someone says they know that nine and one more is ten and six more is sixteen, I would model it like this. The nine and one more to make ten and six more to make sixteen. If someone says I move one from the seven to the nine and turn it into ten plus six, you might want to actually record the nine plus seven equals ten plus six. And ask your kids if it works every time. Someone else might say that I know ten plus seven is seventeen, so nine plus seven is one less, and I might model that one like this. So we do the plus seven and then we take away the one. Ask your kids, why are you doing it that way? Why does that work? This string continues with nineteen plus seven, which is moving us into a two-digit example, and you can start to see the power of the open number line. No need to get fancy, no need to be perfectly proportional, and it's very easy to model any number of strategies. Twenty plus seven minus one, nineteen plus one plus six, even seven plus three plus sixteen. When I ask students to suggest other strategies, they think of all kinds of possibilities. It's that kind of flexible thinking that I want us to encourage. Here are some other problems in my string. Nine plus twenty-seven, ninety plus seventy, and seven hundred plus nine hundred. I hope you can see how I'm trying to make connections and help everyone move ahead in their thinking. How does what you know about nine plus seven help you with ninety plus seventy, or seven hundred plus nine hundred? Never settle for an explanation like, I just do nine plus seven and add a zero. I tell my kids that, in my world, sixteen plus zero is still sixteen. The last one is my challenge problem. It's probably out of reach of lots of my kids, but that's okay. Everyone can benefit from the discussion. With any of the questions, let your kids jot down intermediate steps if they need to. But remember that this is all about personal strategies. And that's it for part two. If you haven't had a chance already, please check out part one. Again, here are a few sample modeling strategies for you. I owe a debt to the ideas of Kathy Fosnow, and I do highly recommend that you check out her work if you found this interesting. Remember, keep the many lessons quick and don't expect everyone to master the strategies the first time you present them. We want our kids to see the math behind the facts, build strong anchors of five and ten, and work flexibly with numbers. We definitely do not want them to believe that rope memorization is the key to math power. Thanks for spending the past few minutes with me, and I hope I've given you some food for thought.
