JOHN CHAPTER 1
1 In a beginning the Word was and the Word was with God and the Word was a God.
2 This one was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men
5
And the light, is shining in the darkness, but the darkness has not overpowered it. (John 1).
If only we could understand just these five verses of the bible completely, then we could begin to say that we are approaching the spiritual comprehension of the apostle John. For even though prophets in general do not understand what they are saying, Gordon believes that John did in these verses (and Gordon may well of course be wrong).
The Lords' Witnesses have tried and failed many times before with this attempt. But now, we do know. The first scriptures to consider are these:
27 For [God] subjected all things under his feet. But when he says that 'all things have been subjected,' it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him.
28 But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone (1 Corinthians 15).
4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind, And the son of earthling man that you take care of him?
5 You also proceeded to make him a little less than godlike ones, And with glory and splendour you then crowned him.
6 You make him dominate over the works of your hands. Everything you have put under his feet (Psalm 8).
From these two it is apparent that the global phrases 'everything', or 'all things', need to be taken in context. The reader must remember that Hebrew has no word for 'except'. So that if everyone in a city celebrated except the Chelsea supporters, then the bible would say: And everyone in the city celebrated. But those in the city who supported Chelsea did not celebrate. In other words one has to qualify the phrase 'everyone' with the surrounding context.
Returning now to John 1:1 it is apparent for example the God did not come into existence through the Word.
Please visit I16 for an explanation of how we first deduced that Satan/Lucifer was the firstborn angel of Jehovah, his first CEO (the one who put into effect the command: Let there be light, the one who initiated the big bang).
Please also visit U314, for an explanation of the deal by which the firstborn angelic rights of Satan where transferred to Michael.
So now we can revisit the majestic words of John...
1
In [a] beginning [of the world, which began with Adam's sin]
the Word [the Angel Michael]
was
[in existence and therefore able to offer to fix the problem with a ransom and a covenant], and the Word was with the God [In his heart and his outlook and his actions, he was on God's side rather than Satan's side],
and the Word was a God [Michael was a spirit being, a son of God, and therefore a God in nature. He existed in God's form - Philippians 2:6, but gave no consideration to a seizure to be equal to God - as Satan did. A God here means a spirit being. The God is Jehovah. The God, Jehovah, is an everliving everloving and everrighteous spirit being].
2
This one was in [that] beginning with God [All scripture must have power so this verse has a different meaning to verse 1.
Michael entered into and therefore was in a covenant arrangement with God, to be the mediator of the second holy spirit covenant and the fixer of the first Holy Spirit, after Satan sinned destroying the first holy spirit covenant].
3
All [sons of Adam] came into existence [got a second chance at life]
through him, and apart from him not even one
[son of Adam]
came into []
existence.
4
In him was life [human life for the sons of Adam and everlasting life for the angels], and the life [Jesus,
who was Immanuel possessed by Michael at his baptism. Jesus is the way the truth and the life and TCC4 is the life, and the light of men today]
was the light of men.
5
And the light [Jesus,
the light of the world AND FDS2/TCC2],
is shining in the darkness, but the darkness [the lies and ignorance and wickedness of the world or the Roman Catholic Church]
has not overpowered it
My favourite scripture has always been: And the light is shining in the darkness but the darkness has not overpowered it.
The fascinating thing about John 1:5 is that darkness is not just an absence of light. It has power. It is active darkness. And finally I saw what it meant on my birhtday. As you know Jesus is the way the truth the life and actually the light for the scripture says...
19 Now this is the basis for judgment, that the light has come into the world but men have loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were wicked. (John 3 NWT)
That light was Jesus for the scripture also says...
9 The true light that gives light to every sort of man was about to come into the world. (NWT)
10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, but the world did not know him. (John 1 NWT)
So Jesus was in fact the Way the Light the Truth and the Life. And these we know are the 4 true churches, TCC1 which became the Roman Catholic Church was the Way, the Gnostics were the Light, the Watchtower was the Truth and the LWs are the Life.
Yes and the light was shining in the darkness. For TCC2 was shining within the fallen Catholic church. But the Roman Catholic church had not overpowered TCC2 at the time that John wrote his letter. It did overpower it later and persecuted it out of existence and then destroyed all evidence of it except for the urn hidden in the ground containing the Gnostic gospel of Philip and except for the nursery rhyme about two little dickie birds called Peter and Paul. the RC church was already 'the darkness' at the time that John wrote his first chapter. It is still actively darkening Christianity today.
The Greek says literally: the word was God (John 1:1). But Greek has no indefinite article, no word 'a'. So the translation: the word was [a] God, is a possible translation of the Greek (although the scripture could have said: The word was one God - Greek does use 'one' as the indefinite article).
In the literal meaning we have the Word of God, who is Jesus. 'In a beginning' he is said to be 'with God'. But what 'beginning' is John referring to here? Is it the beginning of creation by God? Is it the beginning of Genesis 1:1 in the literal meaning? Well it cannot be the beginning of creation by God or the beginning of Genesis 1:1 because 'All things' did not come into existence through Jesus after those beginnings. All things came into existence through Satan after those beginnings. The only beginning after which all things came into existence by means of Jesus was the beginning of the world.
Once Adam had sinned, then without Jesus' agreement to the Angelic Ransom covenant (ARC), everything would have ground to a halt. So after the fall of Adam, everything came into existence through Jesus. What came into existence by means of him, by means in fact of his agreement to the ARC, was life, everlasting life in fact. So now we finally understand John 1:1-5. Jesus was the way the truth and the life, and the life is the light of men today. Jesus is our light, for he is the word of God.
So to understand John 1, one has to realise that Michael is the word, that a beginning is the beginning of the world, and that the world would have ended as soon as it began were it not for the ARC. The ARC gave the world a permanent future. So everything, after the world began, came into existence through the ARC, which is through the mediation of Jesus. This is why the scripture says both that all things came into existence through him and that what came into existence by means of him was life. His giving us the opportunity for everlasting life was necessary in order that the World would have a purpose.
If you say that Jesus was the firstborn angel and everything in the whole universe came into existence through him, since he had the firstborn master covenant, then you nullify the scripture which says: What has come into existence by means of him was life. But once you realise that Satan was the firstborn, and that everything physical came into existence through him, including the whole world, but that the world only continued in existence because of Jesus' agreement to the ARC, then the scripture: What came into existence by means of him was life, is simply a correct explanation of the scripture: All things came into existence through him. Of course, what came into existence by means of Satan, was death.
12 For the word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two-edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and [their] marrow, and [is] able to discern thoughts and intentions of [the] heart (Hebrews 4).
The power of the bible to discern the intentions of the hearts lies in its deliberate ambiguity. It is written so that if you wish to play God, and just assign your own interpretation to a scripture, then you can. But those who love God, continually work at improving their understandings. They do not assign meanings until they have pieced together the whole jigsaw, as far as they are able.
Jesus was able to say to his disciples after his resurrection:
18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth (Matthew 28).
Whereas before his death he said:
1 Jesus spoke these things, and,
raising his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour has come; glorify your son, that your son may glorify you
2 according as you have given him authority over all flesh, that, as regards the whole [number] whom you have given him, he may give them everlasting life (John 17).
Before he died he had a limited authority over all flesh, but after he died he had total authority over all creation. Satan was originally God's CEO, God's executive vice president, God did not move other than through Satan before Adam's sin. After this sin, Satan lost his firstborn right, but Michael did not gain it until after his death. At this point Jesus was God from an action point of view, hence Thomas said to him: My Lord and My God (John 20:28).
So now that we have grown up, we can understand what Michael meant when he said:
23 Be going away behind me Satan (Matthew 16)
33 Be going under behind me Satan (Mark 8)
He meant give your firstborn rights to me, like we agreed. And he meant become my follower and get saved which is a prophecy which will one day be fulfilled. Jesus not only said this to Peter in Matthew 16 but also said it directly to Satan in Matthew 4 when being tested although most translations miss it...
10 Then Jesus said to him: Go away,
Satan! [a mistranslation of
10 Then says to him the Jesus: Go thou behind of me,
adversary; it is written for: Lord the God of thee thou shalt worship, and to him only thou shalt render service. (Matthew 4 ED)
10 to,te le,gei auvtw/| o`

The imperative Greek verb
23 But, turning his back, he said to Peter: Get behind me, Satan! [they got it right this time] You are a stumbling block to me, because you think,
not God's thoughts, but those of men. (Matthew 16 NWT)
23 He but turning said to the Peter: Go thou behind of me,
adversary; a stumbling block of me thou art; for not thou regardest the (things)
of the God, but those of the men. (Matthew 16 ED)

evmou/ o[ti ouv fronei/j ta. tou/ qeou/ avlla. ta. tw/n avnqrw,pwn
So there can be no doubt. Satan will one day accept Jesus' authority and become his follower.
And now we understand the words of Bildad to Job:
13 It will eat the pieces of his skin. The firstborn of death will eat his limbs (Job 18).
"The firstborn of death" is Satan. Satan in the sense that he was the first to be condemned to death yes, but also in the sense that Jesus is the firstborn of life, and Satan is the firstborn of death. Both are firstborns of God, but they champion rather different outcomes for their followers. Whereas John blessed the 7 congregations and called Jesus Christ:
5 The firstborn from the dead (Revelation 1).
Jesus was not the first man ever to be resurrected, for he himself resurrected Lazarus. He became the firstborn of God through his angelic resurrection. He was the first angel to die and be resurrected, and Satan was the second. So Jesus became God's firstborn from the dead, being resurrected by God himself. But Satan was the firstborn originally which is why we read in Revelation:
9 kai eblhqho drakwn o megaV o ofiV o arcaioV o kaloumenoV DiaboloV kai O SatanoV
And was thrown the dragon, the great [one], the serpent, the archaic [one], the [one] called [the] Devil and the Satan (Revelation 12).
He was the most archaic angel and he was the greatest angel until Adam's fall. Satan was resurrected by Michael, since only Michael is resurrected by God himself.
6
There arose a man that was sent forth as a representative of God: his name was John [the baptist].
7
This [man] came for a witness, in order to bear witness about the light [Jesus,
who is the word, the way, the truth, the life and the light of the world],
that all [every race, every nation, every religion]
might believe through him.
8
He was not that light [he was not Jesus],
but he was meant to bear witness about that light.
9
The true light that gives light to every sort of man was about to come into the world [Michael was about to enter Immanuel, making Jesus. He had not yet entered at the time of John's first preaching and baptising!].
10
He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him [His agreement to ransom Adam, the ARC, is the legal basis for the world. Without it Adam would have died on 3993Nisan14 and Eve would have lost her human body and been raptured and there would have been no world at all. Satan did not bring this world into existence. He took Eden out of existence.
Michael brought the world into existence through the ARC. Father forgive them,
they know not what they do. They were killing their God, the one whose agreement to die for them gave them their lives, their souls and this whole world], but the world did not know him [They thought he was the son of Joseph the carpenter].
11
He came to his own people, but his own people did not take him in [Michael was the angelic prince of Israel].
12
However, as many as did receive him, to them he gave authority to become God's children [get baptised in holy spirit, be born again as angels. The 1NCs authorize the baptism in holy spirit],
because they were exercising faith in his name [his authority, his legal status, his covenant blessings];
13
and they were born, not from bloods [of validation sacrifices of various salvation covenants]
or from a fleshly will [genetic birth] or from man's will [water baptism into a true religion],
but from God [as angels in heaven associated with humans that are spirit baptised].
14
So the Word became flesh and resided among us [Michael possessed Immanuel, becoming Jesus Christ],
and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten son from a father [the only angelic son of God with everlasting life before Jesus died, was the angel Michael. All other everlasting life comes from that ransom. He got this when he agreed to mediate the second holy spirit covenant, the blessing of which is everlasting life. Also when he negotiated the firstborn rights from Satan he procured for himself what Satan lost i.e. being the only directly begotten son of God other than Adam. But Adam was dead during the time that the word became flesh and resided among us. So during his ministry Michael was indeed the only begotten son of God, having purchased these rights from Satan. He was also to become the only begotten God upon his resurrection - see verse 18]; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth.
15
John bore witness about him, yes, he actually cried out -- this was the one who said [it] -- saying: The one coming behind me has advanced in front of me,
because he existed before me [Gabriel who, was possessing John at the time, said that Michael who possessed Jesus after Gabriel possessed John and therefore came behind him, has advanced in front of Gabriel in salvation status (having everlasting life) and in priestly authority because he was born as an angel before Gabriel was and so had first choice over the ARC by birthright.
This statement is saying that Gabriel would have signed up to the ARC had he been older then Michael as an angel!]
16
For we all received from out of his fullness, even undeserved kindness upon undeserved kindness.
17
Because the Law was given through Moses, the undeserved kindness and the truth came to be through Jesus Christ.
18
No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god [Jesus became a God to be worshipped, an everliving, everloving, ever-righteous spirit being, after he died. He is therefore the only God who was himself begotten, or created. So he is the only begotten God]
who is in the bosom [position] with the Father [He is the firstborn God of Jehovah, the first true son, hence he alone is in his arms] is the one that has explained him.
19
Now this is the witness of John [the baptist] when the Jews sent forth priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him to ask him: Who are you?
20
And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed: I am not the Christ [he was a Christ, but not the Christ].
21
And they asked him: What, then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not [He was not the ex-human spirit of Elijah, he was Gabriel who possessed the human body of Elijah temporarily. But he was actually an Elijah as Jesus said in Matthew 11:14, since he cleared the way for Jesus, but he was not the Elijah of the Hebrew Scriptures ]. Are you The Prophet? And he answered: No! [He was not the
prophet predicted by Moses - Jesus was one fulfilment of this person. but the was certainly a prophet]
22
Therefore they said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself? [From a bible code standpoint there are 3 further John the baptist figures who are the Christ for a generation, the prophet in a further meaning and an Elijah respectively].
23
He said: I am a voice of someone crying out in the wilderness, 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.
24
Now those sent forth were from the Pharisees.
25
So they questioned him and said to him: Why, then, do you baptize if you yourself are not the Christ or Elijah or The Prophet? [From a bible code standpoint, the successive alternatives principle, there are 3 further people who will start a water baptism, making a total of 4 true Christian churches. Charles Russell was an Elijah, Paul is the Prophet and another Elijah. Gordon is the Elijah/Prophet/Christ for the last generation - we think]
26
John answered them, saying: I baptize in water. In the midst of you one is standing whom you do not know,
27
the one coming behind me, but the lace of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie [Jesus'
feet, the last members of his body on earth, the 1NC saints at the end of TCC1,
get imprisoned and lose the baptism of John, so they need a further Elijah so untie them. Higher = Earlier, Lower = Later].
28
These things took place in Bethany across the Jordan [not the Bethany of Lazarus which was 15 stadia from Jerusalem according to John 11:18. But the Bethany which was around 20 miles south of the lake of Galilee. the house of dates within the Watchtower, the prophets in the cave], where John was baptizing.
29
The next [day] [29Heshvan21 after John spoke to the Pharisees] [the day of the Elijah2 who was Paul] he beheld Jesus coming toward him
[having completed 40 days in the wilderness], and he said: See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world! [Jesus is God's sacrificial gift who will ransom Adam thereby removing the sin of the World, which is Adam's sin. Also Melchizedek does this from a human standpoint]
30
This is the one about whom I said, Behind me there comes a man who has advanced in front of me, because he existed before me [Again Gabriel confirms that he volunteered with Michael but Michael was older so he got the job of ransoming Adam angelically in validation of the ARC. But Gabriel was the validation sacrifice for the CRC].
31
Even I did not know him [Gabriel,
who possessed John at the time of Jesus' baptism, did not know Immanuel personally - John of course did very well being his cousin. It would also appear that Gabriel was not permitted to view Immanuel from heaven before his baptism!!],
but the reason why I came baptizing in water was that he might be made manifest to Israel.
32
John also bore witness, saying: I viewed the spirit coming down as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.
33
Even I did not know him, but the very One who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Whoever it is upon whom you see the spirit coming down and remaining,
this is the one that baptizes in holy spirit [Jesus has authority to seal people in holy spirit, giving them everlasting life, since he has this life himself by virtue of the ARC].'
34
And I have seen [it], and I have borne witness that this one is the Son of God [Jesus gained the firstborn son of God rights when he negotiated the bowl of soup deal with Satan when Adam sinned - see U17].
_______________________________________________________________________________________
John 1:29-34 must be compared to Matthew 3:13-17
13 Then Jesus [Immanuel in Jesus] came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, in order to be baptized by him [Michael in Jesus needed the water baptism of John in order to join the first Christian church, TCC1 (not withstanding his non adamic body). He was baptised into the Law of FDS1 by John as well as being under the Law of Moses!].
14 But the latter tried to prevent him [Gabriel tried to prevent Michael], saying: I am the one needing to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me? [This was a conversation between the angel Michael in heaven and the angel Gabriel in John on earth. Immanuel was not going to seal Gabriel in holy spirit giving him everlasting life. Michael was going to do that after he ascended. In fact once Michael became a God, Gabriel became the head of the second holy spirit, which headship carries everlasting life, that being the salvation blessing of the 2HSC. Gabriel and Michael would also have discussed the imminent possession of Jesus as well as the water baptism of Michael in Jesus into the 1EC, which required a request from Michael to Gabriel]
15 In reply Jesus said to him: Let it be,
this time, for in that way it is suitable for us to carry out all that is righteous. Then he quit preventing him.
16 After being baptized Jesus [Immanuel was raptured from under water and Michael entered under water, so that Michael was indeed water baptised inside Jesus] immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God's spirit coming upon him.
17 Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved (Matthew 3).
_________________________________________________________________________________________
35
Again the next [day]
[29Heshvan22]
[The day of Elijah3, who was Russell]
John was standing with 2 of his disciples,
36
and as he looked at Jesus walking he said: See, the Lamb of God! []
37
And the 2 disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38
Then Jesus turned and, getting a view of them following, he said to them: What are you looking for? They said to him: Rabbi, which means, when translated,
Teacher, where are you staying?
[Who is the FDS?]
39
He said to them: Come, and you will see. Accordingly they went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day; it was about the 10th hour
[].
40
Andrew the brother of Simon Peter was one of the 2 that heard what John said and followed [Jesus].
41
First this one found his own brother, Simon, and said to him: We have found the Messiah which means, when translated, Christ.
42
He led him to Jesus. When Jesus looked upon him he said: You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas which is translated Peter [Literally this was the spirit baptism of Peter. The 3 translations from Hebrew to Greek of Teacher Christ and Peter may refer to interpretations of old testament accounts which reveal teachings/doctrine and spirit baptism information and church leadership information for Christian churches].
43
The next [day]
[the day of Elijah4, who is Gordon],
he desired to depart for Galilee
[meaning he desired to depart for Galilee on the next/following day]. So Jesus found Philip and said to him: Be my follower.
44
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, from the city of Andrew and Peter.
45
Philip found Nathanael and said to him: We have found the one of whom Moses, in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.
46
But Nathanael said to him: Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him: Come and see.
47
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said about him: See, an Israelite for a certainty, in whom there is no deceit.
48
Nathanael said to him: How does it come that you know me? Jesus in answer said to him: Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.
49
Nathanael answered him: Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel.
50
Jesus in answer said to him: Because I told you I saw you underneath the fig tree do you believe? You will see things greater than these.
51
He further said to him: Most truly I say to you men, you will see heaven opened up and the angels of God ascending and descending to the Son of the man [Michael,
Gabriel and Melchizedek possessing non adamic humans from Enoch and Methuselah right up to the final possession of Jesus by Michael].
JOHN CHAPTER 2
1
Now on the day, the 3rd [one], a marriage
took place in Cana
of Galilee,
and the mother
of Jesus
was there.
2
Jesus
and his disciples
were also invited to the marriage.
3
And [upon] [it] [the marriage - not Mary!]
having become lacking [gsm]
of
wine
[noun as adverb]
the mother
of Jesus said to him: They have no wine.
4
But Jesus
said to her: What have I to do with you, woman?
My hour
has not yet come.
5
His mother
said to the
servants:
Whatever he tells you, do.
6
As it was, there were 6 water-jars
of stone sitting there according to the purification
of the Jews,
each [ana]
having- place-for measures
[accusative] 2 or 3.
7
Jesus
said to them: Fill the water-jars
of/with
water [genitive secondary object].
And they filled them until [the] top/upper part
[anw
- is an adverb. We used to think that it is used as an adverb, but grammatically was a noun, even so it would not count - see also katw.]
8
And he said to them: Draw some out now and take it to the
director-of-the-feast.
So they took it.
9
When, now, the
director
of the feast tasted the
water
that had been turned into wine
but did not know wherefrom it was although the
servants
knew, the [ones] who had drawn out the
water,
the director of the feast
called the bridegroom
10
and said to him: Every man
puts out the fine wine
first,
and when they become intoxicated, the inferior
[one].
You have reserved the fine wine
until now.
11
Jesus
performed this in Cana
of Galilee [as the] beginning
of his signs,
and he manifested his glory;
and his disciples
put-faith in him (John 2).
Jesus (3), Water (4), Wine (3), Woman (1), Mother (3),
Director of dinning room (3), Cana (2).
CNC (4,3,2,2,2,3,3,1,7,1,5) = 33.
'Having become lacking of wine' is possessive, the noun 'wine' acting as an adverb.
INC: Day, Marriage, Cana of Galilee, (Mother of Jesus), Jesus, Disciples, Wine, Woman, Mother, Servants, Water-Jars of Stone, Purification of the Jews, measures, Water-jars, Director of the dinning room, Water, Bridegroom, beginning of signs, Glory = 18.

12
After this he and his mother and brothers and his disciples went down to Capernaum, but they did not stay there many days.
13 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple those selling cattle and sheep and doves and the money brokers in their seats.
15 So, after making a whip of ropes, he drove all those with the sheep and cattle out of the temple,
and he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables.
16 And he said to those selling the doves: Take these things away from here! Stop making the house of my Father a house of merchandise!
17 His disciples called to mind that it is written: The zeal for your house will eat me up.
18 Therefore, in answer,
the Jews said to him: What sign have you to show us, since you are doing these things?
19 In answer Jesus said to them: Break down this temple, and in 3 days I will raise it up.
20 Therefore the Jews said: This temple was built in 46 years, and will you raise it up in 3 days?
21 But he was talking about the temple of his body.
22 When, though, he was raised up from the dead, his disciples called to mind that he used to say this;
and they believed the Scripture and the saying that Jesus said.
23 However, when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, at its festival, many people put their faith in his name, viewing his signs that he was performing.
24 But Jesus himself was not entrusting himself to them because of his knowing them all
25 and because he was in no need to have anyone bear witness about man, for he himself knew what was in man.
JOHN CHAPTER 3
1 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus was his name, a ruler of the Jews.
2 This one came to him in the night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that you as a teacher have come from God; for no one can perform these signs that you perform unless God is with him.
3 In answer Jesus said to him: Most truly I say to you, Unless anyone is born again/generated from above [as an angel in heaven, i.e. have an angelic body, which one is yet to enter into or actually as a non adamic human made in heaven and beamed down to earth in order that a resurrection or a healing miracle can occur by an instant invisible transfer of the spirit of a person from the adamic body to the new non adamic body], he cannot see the kingdom of God [This is see physically, by seeing an element of that kingdom, such as one of the descended 1NC Kings, or the greater ark of Noah etc. One can see the kingdom of God spiritually without being born again. Many non sanctified JWs have seen it spiritually. So since 2008Nisan22, when the Kingdom of God started in heaven is has been impossible for anyone to see it who was not born again as an angel (since no one has yet been born again as a human since then). So no one will be saved on sight except possibly the saints, who are pre selected by God. But after you have been born again as a gene zapped non adamic human on and after 2012Sivan15/16 (the last day of the 2:1 temple ratio prophecy - see U108) for water baptised LWs and upon entering Zoar for the faithful, then you will be able to see the kingdom by seeing the ark or descended 1NC Kings]
4 Nicodemus said to him:
How can a man be born when he is old [at least 30 for non adamics and 20 for adamics]? He cannot enter into the womb of his mother a second time and be born, can he? [Yes and No. Notice that the scripture does not say: He cannot enter into the womb of his mother and be born a second time can he? Raising the crazy possibility that he can somehow re-enter into the womb of his mother in addition to being born a second time! He enters the womb of God's wife, the holy spirit, the heavenly mother of the angels, to be born and as angel. But then we know that in the kingdom we shall have Methuselaian or Melchizedaic non adamic human bodies. Verse6 says what has been born from flesh is flesh. So who is the fleshly mother of these non adamic bodies? Well we do not need another fleshly mother in the kingdom (one is enough). So we think that a non adamic version of our mother's body is made in heaven when we enter into the CRC or FRC and this gives birth to our new non adamic Methuselaian for the CRC and Melchizedaic for the FRC body which we enter in the kingdom or when we go into Zoar. Healing miracles use a similar process but with an ageing non adamic body (that of Isaac, or Jesus, or John the baptist).
So one can enter into the womb of one's fleshly mother a second time and be generated from above!]
5 Jesus answered: Most truly I say to you, Unless anyone is generated/born out of water [water baptism of the conscience by faith or of the body by the true church]
and spirit [be a saint or get a temporary angelic vehicle at the rapture or at the resurrection out of the first death],
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God [This means that those who go into Hades and are resurrected into the Kingdom as humans must still have had an angelic phase, since people do not get an angelic body for no reason. So it point to the first death being an angelic form of existence - we know it is angelic sleep].
6 What has been generated out of the flesh is flesh [adamic humans beget adamic humans. Non adamic humans beget non adamic humans. We think that we have the same adamic mother as our non adamic mother. This whole ageing adamic thing is going to be wiped out and we will all be returned to what we would have been had Adam not sinned],
and what has been generated out of the spirit is spirit [angels beget angels].
BUT THIS VERSE IS IN THE PAST TENSE. IT DOES NOT SAY WHAT IS GENERATED FROM SPIRIT IS SPIRIT OR WHAT WILL BE GENERATED FROM SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. IT SAYS WHAT HAS BEEN GENERATED FROM SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. SO IT RAISES THE POSSIBILITY THAT AFTER THE CONVERSATION SPIRIT MIGHT GENERATE FLESH - VIA RESURRECTION. This is in fact the resurrection of the second dead. Only those born again as angels could be resurrected and only as humans prior to Jesus' ransom of Adam. So spirit begins were resurrected by the spirit but as flesh actually. But the day comes after Jesus' sacrifice when non spirit beings can be resurrected by the spirit as non adamic flesh. So this is possibly the most misleading statement in the entire bible.
7 Do not marvel because I told you, you people must be generated from above/born again [everybody is at some point in the future. There are 3 mothers. The adamic mother, the non adamic mother and the spirit mother. We all enter into 3 wombs!].
8 The wind blows where it wants to, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from [living or dead] and where it is going [spirit or flesh]. So is everyone that has been born from the spirit [The heavenly modem link - see U255. The spirit comes from God and goes back to him eventually when it re-enters his divine body before it leaves as a divine soul, a new God]
[Wind of course has no desire. Wind blows from A to B. Wind pictures our spirit or the holy spirit. Likewise the holy spirit moves people from Church A (which may be no church) to church B, the church which the saint must join after his baptism. If you are born from the spirit then you must blow with the wind. The sound the wind makes is the preaching of the saints. But there is nothing to see other than their effect. You cannot determine anything from their physical appearance]
9 In answer Nicodemus said to him: How can these things come about?
10 In answer Jesus said to him: Are you a teacher of Israel and yet do not know these things?
11 Most truly I say to you, What we know we speak and what we have seen we bear witness of, but you people do not receive the witness we give.
12 If I have told you earthly things and yet you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? [This verse says that verses 1-11 were earthly things - relating to those born on earth. Verse 13 onwards is referring to heavenly things, those born in the heavens]
13 Moreover, no one [out of the sons of Adam]
has ascended into heaven but the [one] that descended from heaven, the Son of the man [So the son of the man had both descended and ascended prior to this statement, so this was at least Jesus' second human possession. Further. Gabriel had descended and ascended several times and so had Melchizedek at the time of this statement.
But they are both also sons of the man, non adamics, sons of pre-fall adam. So the sense of this is that everyone who has ascended to heaven has done it from a prior descent, and they are all sons of the man, i.e. non adamic sons of pre fall Adam. Greek is using 'the' generally. It does that! The pre-adamics ascended without descending. All non adamics are sons of man, sons of pre-fall Adam, and they all both ascend and descend]
14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of the man must be lifted up [impaled and resurrected],
15 that everyone believing in him may have age-lasting life [in the Kingdom of God through the 1AC and the FRC].
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son [only angelic son with everlasting life and actually only directly begotten son having taken that status from Satan - the firstborn of God must be directly begotten.
And having carried out his ministry at a time when Adam, who was also a directly begotten son of God, was in the first death],
in order that everyone believing into him [believing to the point where they enter into his church and into his covenant]
might not be destroyed [will not enter into the first death but be raptured into their angel having been born again angelically]
but have age-lasting life [in the Kingdom of God through the JAC].
17 For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him.
18 He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God [The name resulting from the ARC].
19 Now this is the basis for judgment, that the light [Jesus]
[the true church]
has come into the world but men have loved the darkness [Satan]
rather than the light, for their works were wicked.
20 For he that practices vile things hates the light and does not come to the light, in order that his works may not be reproved.
21 But he that does what is true
[to his conscience, rather than what is false to his conscience]
comes to the light, in order that his works may be made manifest as having been worked in harmony with God.
22 After these things Jesus and his disciples went into Judean country, and there he spent some time with them and did baptizing.
23 But John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was a great quantity of water there, and people kept coming and being baptized;
24 for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
25 Therefore a dispute arose on the part of the disciples of John with a Jew concerning purification.
26 So they came to John and said to him: Rabbi, the man that was with you across the Jordan, to whom you have borne witness, see, this one is baptizing and all are going to him.
27 In answer John said: A man cannot receive a single thing unless it has been given him from heaven.
28 you yourselves bear me witness that I said, I am not the Christ, but, I have been sent forth in advance of that one.
29 He that has the bride [the 1NC saints]
is the bridegroom [the mediator of the 1NC].
However, the friend of the bridegroom [everyone who has ever been in any true religion],
when he stands and hears him, has a great deal of joy on account of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore this joy of mine has been made full.
30 That one must go on increasing [in disciples],
but I must go on decreasing [in disciples].
31 The one that comes from above is over all the others. The one that is from the earth is from the earth and speaks of things of the earth. The one that comes from heaven is over all others [Gabriel,
from heaven, is above all the water baptised. Michael, from heaven, is above all the saints, Melchizedek, who started on the earth but in now in heaven, is above all the faithful one, the sons of the FRC and its subcovenants].
32 What he has seen and heard, of this he bears witness, but no man is accepting his witness.
33 He that has accepted his witness has put his seal to it that God is true.
34 For the one whom God sent forth speaks the sayings of God, for he does not give the spirit by measure.
35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.
36 He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.
The rest of the dead will come to life after the 1,000 year have ended. All those resurrected from Hades into the Kingdom do not have angelic bodies. They are second dead. But the mechanism of escape from the flood is entirely angelic. Either you enter into the ark and are raptured angelically into heaven or you remain on the ground and are protected by your angelic soul from the 1NC 2NC or 3NC - the Omega Covenant mediated by Jesus. So this 3NC, must be celebrated at a festival - the 2NC festival.
