The Jews In The Land Of Israel

A lot of people criticize the Jews in the land of Israel for displacing the Palestinian people, even though The Bible (Exodus 3:17, NIV) and The Quran (Quran 5:21, Sahih) clearly indicate that the Jews used to live in the land of Canaan, the land of Israel, and will again. The Jews simply returned to a land that they used to live in, and by so doing, fulfilled prophecy. (Isaiah 11:11-12, NIV)

(The Bible and The Quran talk only about our internal qualities. The land of Israel is the physical manifestation of an internal quality called Israel, which is when a person is in adhesion with The Creator.)

Around the world, there are examples of people who've displaced other people, even though they weren't returning to their own land. However, these displacements don't draw the same kind of ire:

1. Canadians displaced The First Nations people, Native Americans.
2. Americans displaced The First Nations people, Native Americans.
3. Australians displaced The Aboriginal people, Aboriginal Australians.
4. And there are other examples as well.

The reason why people are especially upset with the Jews in Israel, is because the Jews aren't fulfilling their spiritual role. This resentment towards the Jews is a spiritual matter, but it manifests in corporeality. The Jews have to return to God and seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

If the Jews begin to fulfill their spiritual role, and begin to bring The Light to The Nations of The World, the attitude towards them (the Jews in Israel and the Jews around the world) will change.

The Nation of Israel symbolizes adhesion with The Creator. If you have Jews who are not in adhesion with The Creator living in a land that symbolizes adhesion with The Creator, you have a discrepancy, and this discrepancy has to be remedied. The Jews have to return to God and become the thing that their nation symbolizes, a people who are in adhesion with The Creator. 

Israel is a tiny country, yet it disproportionately generates a tremendous amount of INTERNATIONAL news. Almost every day, every week, every month, there's an INTERNATIONAL story about Israel. No other country of that size does that. In fact, there are many small countries in the world that people haven't even heard of.

Israel has dominated INTERNATIONAL news since is was re-created in 1948. Almost everyone in the entire world has heard of the Jews and Israel, and this is by design, it has purpose.

Israel has a spiritual role to play in the entire world, and as such, everything that Israel does is the world's business. The Jews have to return to God, they have to seek to benefit others instead of themselves, and they have to begin to bring The Light to the entire world.

There's no escaping this destiny, it's simply a matter of time. May The God of Israel guide the Jews and The Nation of Israel, may He lead them and may He show them the way. 

We're all one family and we have to start treating each other as one family.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Do not be afraid. God is with us.

Israel

Why do The Nations Of The World hate Israel, yet Israel doesn't hate any nation?

Understanding Anti-Semitism

Why do people hate the Jews and The Nation of Israel and why is anti-semitism [1] on the rise?

It's important to understand the source of anti-semitism and the hatred for the Jews and The Nation of Israel because understanding brings rational and intellectual reason and insight. You don't build anything through blind hatred.

The hatred for the Jews and The Nation of Israel is purposeful. It's not that people are getting meaner. Providence awakens people in this way because the Jews and The Nation of Israel are not bringing The Light to The Nations of The World.

The Jews and The Nation of Israel have a specific role to play. The word Israel comes from the word le rosh (head) and The Nations of The World are the guf (body).

Not to say that the Jews and The Nation of Israel are greater than, better than or more important than others. Not at all. Everyone is equal - you can't have a head without a body and you can't have a body without a head. In fact, the head serves the body.

The Jews and The Nation of Israel are the transformer between God and The Nations of The World. Their role is to bring The Light to The Nations of The World.

However, this is the only part of humanity that's broken and needs to be corrected.

The hatred for the Jews and The Nation of Israel arises because the Jews and The Nation of Israel aren't fulfilling their spiritual role, they're not bringing The Light to The Nations of The World.

Who suffers the most as a result? The Nations of The World because the Jews have the means to take care of themselves - they're using their God given traits, which are meant to be used in bestowal, for their own selfish profit and gain. 

As a result, hatred awakens in people naturally and instinctually because they're not receiving The Light. This hatred is a part of the natural correction process and the natural process of our return to God.

This hatred will push the Jews and The Nation of Israel to return to God and begin to seek to benefit others instead of themselves, to rise above their egos and connect in mutual bestowal.

There will be more focus on the Jews and The Nation of Israel and they will continue to receive blows and pressure until there is nowhere left to turn, except to return to God.

Understanding where the hatred for the Jews and The Nation of Israel comes from, helps to dissolve it. The leap from hatred to love isn't far and it isn't hard to do.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

May The God of Israel, The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and May He show us the way.

God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Our Return To God Will Be A Gradual Process

Some people may think that our return to God will be an instantaneous event, and there may be some parts of it that will be, but our return to God will be a gradual process with various phases.

For example, when a baby is born s/he goes through various phases:

1. When s/he's first born, s/he has eyes but s/he can barely see, s/he has a mouth but s/he can't talk, s/he can't eat anything except drink milk and water, s/he has legs but can't walk, s/he has sexual organs but they don't 'work' etc.
2. As the baby grows, s/he develops baby teeth and begins to eat soft foods and then small pieces of solid foods, s/he also begins to walk and talk.
3. As the child grows, s/he develops adult teeth and can eat a wide variety of foods, s/he can run and play and engage in a wide variety of physical activities, his/her vocabulary increases and s/he spends most of his/her time learning.
4. It's not until the child reaches puberty that his/her sexual organs become active. They had been dormant this whole time.
5. The child's experiences continue to grow until s/he reaches adulthood where s/he takes on even more responsibilities.

We understand this phased approach to our growth and development. Our return to God will be similar in that it will also happen in phases:

1. First, The Nation of Israel and The Jewish people need to return to God. They are a part of humanity that needs to awaken early because they have a specific role to play. This doesn't mean that they're special, greater than or more important that others, not at all. It simply means that they have a role to play that requires them to be one of the first people to awaken.
2. After that, The Nations of The World will return to God. This doesn't mean that they're less important than others, not at all. It simply means that they will awaken later.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Desperate To Fit In

Sometimes we're so desperate to fit in that we become the loudest proponents of the side we're trying to join, and the loudest critics of the side we're trying to leave. Here are a few examples:

1. Women Trying To Be Like Men:
• Women and men are different, we have different qualities, attributes, temperaments and we have different roles to play in society. Unfortunately, in the past few years, women have been so desperate to become 'equal' to men, that some women have become the loudest critics of feminine qualities. Feminine qualities, such as looking after children, taking care of the home, creating a nurturing, caring, loving family unit are perceived as 'weak', compared to 'stronger' masculine qualities, such as working outside the home etc. Women leaving their role in society has been a disaster for families, for communities and for society as a whole. Children have suffered the most as a result of absent mothers, mothers who now spend all their time working.
• Women need to embrace their feminine qualities and being to fully realize their role in society.
2. The Jews/The Nation of Israel Trying To Be Like The Nations of The World:
• The Jews/The Nation of Israel and The Nations of The World are different, they have different roles to play in society. Unfortunately, in the past few years, the Jews/The Nation of Israel have been so desperate to become like everyone else, that they've completely abandoned their role. So much so, that some Jews/Israelites have become the loudest critics of the Jews/The Nation of Israel. The result of the Jews/The Nation of Israel not playing their role in society has been a disaster for the entire world and everyone, including all of nature, is suffering as a result.
• The Jews/The Nation of Israel needs to return to God and begin to fully realize their role in society.

People have different roles to play and we have to accept this. We're equal, but we're different. The sooner we accept our different roles, the sooner we can begin to play them, and the sooner we can bring harmony and balance to all of our lives. 

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

The Positive Meaning Of The Holocaust

The holocaust is a stain on history because of the atrocities committed against the Jews. Yet, the holocaust has a positive meaning.

Today, as we begin our return to God, the Nation of Israel and the Jewish people have a role to play. First, The Nation of Israel and the Jewish people have to wake up, meaning they have to return to God. Then, they have a role to play in bringing the entire world back to God.

In the future, when the entire world has returned to God, Israel's distinct role will no longer stand out because there won't be any difference between The Nations of the World and The Nation of Israel and the Jewish people. The entire world will be as one.

This dissolution of Israel's distinct role in the future is represented by the holocaust, it's the end of the distinct role of the Jews, merging into an integrated, unified humanity - which is an extremely positive thing.

Not to say that the Jewish people will cease to exist, not at all, but rather to say that The Nations of the World will come to know God just as the Nation of Israel and The Jewish people know God. All will be as one, united in the knowledge of The Lord.

The First Jesus, The Second Jesus And The One

Edited:  April 8, 2014

WORK IN PROGRESS:
This post is a work in progress and is subject to changes, revisions, edits and deletions. I've presented it here to give you an idea of a general concept; however, I'm not sure I've done a very good job explaining it. Please bear with me as I continue to work through this. One example is that I don't know how the Book Of Revelation is interconnected.

The First Jesus is exactly the same as The Second Jesus, yet they are different. The First Jesus is Jesus Himself, whereas The Second Jesus is a part of The One.

Through fractals [1] we can understand the connection between The Old Testament, The First Jesus, The Second Jesus, The New Testament, The Quran and The One:

• "I am the Alpha and the Omega ... who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Revelation 1:8, NIV)
• "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, NIV)
• We can also understand the reference to Adam:
• "Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. (Quran 3:59, Sahih)
• ""The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit." (1 Corinthians 15:45, NIV)

Let's take a look at the differences and similarities between The First Jesus and The Second Jesus:

1. FROM WHERE:
• The First Jesus: Is from Israel.
• The Second Jesus: Is from the Nations of The World.
2. FOR WHO:
• The First Jesus: Is for The Nation of Israel. Jesus said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Matthew 15:24, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: The Second Jesus is also for Israel, but is a part of The One, who is for the entire world. ""... they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD."(Jeremiah 31:34, NIV)
3. GENDER:
• The First Jesus: The person is male.
• The Second Jesus: The person is female because The Second Jesus is a part of The One who is female.
4. SCRIPTURE:
• The First Jesus: The Gospel writes about The First Jesus. 
• The Second Jesus: The Quran writes about The Second Jesus.
5. FRACTAL[1]:
• The First Jesus: The First Jesus is a fractal of The Old Testament. "In the beginning was The Word ..." (John 1:1, NIV) "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." (John 1:14, NIV) Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: The Second Jesus is a fractal of The Old Testament. "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary ..." (Quran 3:45, Sahih) "Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." (Quran 61:6, Sahih)
• The One: The One is a fractal of The Old Testament, The New Testament and The Quran.
6. TITLE:
• The First Jesus: Refers to himself as The Son of Man. "From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." (Matthew 26:64, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: The Second Jesus is a part of The One, a state within The One. As such, he refers to himself as a prophet. "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet." (Quran 19:30, Sahih) The Quran makes no distinction between any of the prophets. (Quran 3:84, Sahih) Also, it is written, "The LORD used a prophet to bring Israel up from Egypt, by a prophet he cared for him." (Hosea 12:13, NIV)
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that The Quran says that Jesus was a prophet while the Bible doesn't, but now we can understand this discrepancy.
7. CRUCIFIXTION:
• The First Jesus: Was crucified. (Matthew 27:32-44, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: Will not be crucified, but will probably have the stigmata to make it look like she was. "... they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them." (Quran 4:157, Sahih)
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that The Bible says Jesus was crucified while The Quran says he wasn't, but now we can understand how both are true.
8. EAST AND WEST:
• The First Jesus: Of his return, Jesus said, "For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. (Matthew 24:27, NIV)
• The Second Jesus: Will likely make a journey from east to west. "And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah." (Quran 2:115, Sahih)
9. DOES GOD HAVE A SON?
• The First Jesus: Is often referred to as the Son of God. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16, NIV) This verse is layered in meaning. One meaning is that it is a state of attainment that is considered childhood, therefore God has a son. Also, based on perception of reality, you perceive that you're young in the quality of bestowal.
• The Second Jesus: The Quran says that "Allah has not taken any son ..." (Quran 23:91, Sahih) This verse is layered in meaning. One meaning is that The One is not a son because she's female. Also, while the Quran says that Jesus is the son of Mary, this is an internal state within The One. Even the adult state of attainment starts off as a little child and eventually grows to adulthood, " ... a little child will lead them." (Isaiah 11:6, NIV) Therefore God doesn't have a son or any children because these states of attainment have grown up, they're in complete adhesion with The Creator. Also, based on perception of reality, you perceive that you were always in bestowal.
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that Jesus is often referred to as The Son of God while The Quran says that God doesn't have a son, but now we can understand how both are true.
10. TRINITY:
• The First Jesus: Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit ..." (Matthew 28:19, NIV). This is a state of attainment where a person is still growing, developing.
• The Second Jesus: It is written, "And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son." (Quran 4:171, Sahih) This is a state of attainment where a person is in complete adhesion with The Creator.
• Initially, it seems like a contradiction that The Bible speaks of three, while The Quran tells us not to speak of three, but now we can understand how both are true.

Here are some questions about the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets:

1. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks about both The First Jesus and The Second Jesus?
2. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks only about The First Jesus?
3. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks only about The Second Jesus?
4. Is there language in the Torah, the Writings and the Prophets that speaks about The One?

Israel - God's Chosen People

Israel, God's chosen people. Chosen to do what? Chosen to serve.

Think of a restaurant:

1. God owns a restaurant. He has food. (Food for our souls, light.)
2. The people of Israel are the waiters chosen to serve the food.
3. The people of the nations of the world are the customers chosen to enjoy the food.

Everyone has a role to play - the restaurant owner, the waiters and the customers.

Some people may feel - why is Israel chosen/special and I'm not? The answer is that Israel isn't more special than anyone else, they just have a different role to play.

We can't all be waiters and we can't all be customers. Systems, for example families, are designed for people to play different roles. When the restaurant is open:
                - the restaurant owner seeks to benefit the waiters and customers,
                - the waiters seek to benefit the restaurant owner and customers, and
                - the customers seek to benefit the restaurant owner and waiters.

The restaurant operates in harmony and balance, in mutual concern and responsibility. Everyone plays their role in order to benefit the others. Everyone is equal, no one is greater than the other.

The restaurant has been closed for a long time, but it's soon going to reopen.

May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.

Israel And The Arab Nations Are Brothers

The world is one family.
 
One of the more prominent conflicts you see in the world today is the conflict between Israel and the Arab Nations, yet they're both brothers with many similarities:

1. They have a similar language. Both Hebrew and Arabic are written from right to left and share many similar words.
2. Abraham is a patriarch in Judaism and Islam.
3. Judaism and Islam are both monotheistic religions, they both believe in One God.
4. Jerusalem is a holy place for both nations
5. In The Bible, The Torah was given to Moses, The Psalms were given to King David and there were many prophets in the land of Israel. The message of The Quran was given to The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and it is intimately tied to the message that was given to the Jewish people through The Scriptures. If I were to guess, I'd say about 70% of the people mentioned in The Quran are Jewish, for example, Moses, David etc.
6. There are many other similarities.

Israel and the Arab Nations need to put aside their differences and work together as brothers. The whole world is one family and we need to start working together as one family.
