This Man
This man, wether you believe him to be fiction or fact, is a sigil of enlightenment for all of humanity.. Honed in story, internationally traveled and documented in several middle eastern nations, a yogi of meditation, prayer, enactment and embodiment of power beyond scientific comprehension, born without sin, never committed sin, to declare our destiny, stood upon the founding principles we, as a nation went on to enshrine in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
This palm Sunday we are reminded that he walked into the den of trepidation knowing what was to come and that the goal was to create proven Resurrection and eternal life.
There has been no greater prophet ever.
Those who diminish him diminish themselves.

Yes, let's not diminish that man. He was a Jew, a Hebrew, an Israelite. His Father was the Creator Yahweh. His Name was Yahshua. He was the Messiah. His life perfectly fulfilled all the words of the prophets who wrote about him hundreds of years before.
When Yahweh used Moses to bring the Israelites out of Egypt, the final plague against the Pharaoh was the death of all the first born in the land. The houses of the Israelites were Passed Over by the angel of death because of the Blood of the Lamb that was on their doorposts.
This foreshadowed Yahshua's death, an innocent man, impaled on a tree on Passover Day. He died on Passover AS the same sacrificial lamb, so as to take the place of our death penalty from sin.
In that year, Passover was on a Wednesday. Yahshua died shortly before sunset, and his body was placed in the tomb so it would not be left hanging when the High Sabbath of the first Day of Unleavened Bread began at sunset. His body was in the tomb for THREE days, the sign of Jonah that he gave. He was resurrected three days after he died, on the weekly Sabbath, Saturday, again shortly before sunset.
His followers kept the Passover, for years, as commanded, only substituting the symbols of the Messiah in remembrance of him as He requested. They did not observe "ishtar".
The Bible is a Hebrew book, from Genesis to Revelation.
