John the Baptist

-----------Where do the DEAD go at DEATH?------------

John has 'penned' much Truth from Inspiration! Not just what we call the four Gospels. The drift of his work surely needs his thinking of 1-2-3 John as well + the Revelation!! His Words of explaining do wonders for [my] understanding! Perhaps we both have a similar experience in our walk of life? It seems that James & John were referenced by our Master as one time 'sons of thunder'?

Anyway: In John 20 we see ALL KINDS OF TODAYS ERROR EXPOSED! >From verse 1 on! But, in verse 17 we see Christ appearing to Mary on the Saturday evening of today, as we call it! At Sunset the 7th day, the Sunday of our day started. The first day of the week.

In verse 17 Mary is C-L-E-A-R-L-Y told by the Word Himself (CHRIST!) "..Touch Me not for I AM NOT YET ASCENDED UNTO MY FATHER.."
But this was THREE DAY'S PAST HIS DEATH!! Even notice verse 19 after He had ascended to His Father it states by John that.. "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 in verse 1 John penned that it WAS YET DARK! "The first day of the week commeth Mary Magdalene [EARLY, WHEN IT WAS YET DARK, unto the sepulchre, and see the stone taken away from the sepulchre."

Christ died on the eve of Friday's Preparation day, being the sixth day. He died at the evening sacrifice. (the Vail was rent from top to bottom making the way into the most Holy Place) Saturday the 7th day Christ lay DEAD in the tomb. (sleeping) And sometime [after sunset] of His seventh day Sabbath He was resurrected! OUR SATURDAY NIGHT OR EVENING.

OK: John DECLARES THAT CHRIST TOLD US BY MARY'S ENCOUNTER, THAT CHRISTS DID NOT GO TO HEAVEN UNTIL AFTER HIS RESURRECTION!! But we are 'still' being told that our dead soul does . Again see who tells us that? Gen. 3:3-4!

But, that was not all that John penned! Ask yourself why the Women (and the mother of Jesus) still Obeyed their Master's Sabbath day COMMANDMENT? And again ask yourself if [YOU] LOVED CHRIST AS THEY DID, and when the sun had set Sabbath evening, what would you have IMMEDIATELY DONE after sunset? Remember: The spices were ALREADY prepared on the Preparation day. (Fri. the 6th day)

John answers the question. It was yet DARK, after the sun was set. There is NO WAY that you could hold these ones who LOVED CHRIST BACK from going to anoint the body of Christ! (except for the MEN, huh? MEN?? They were hiding!)

Anyway this is the explanation of John's 'Inspiration'. Even when Mary 'wept' because Christ was thought to be taken away & Christ appeared to her she did not see him clearly because she was in the darkness of our Saturday evening, AND she was crying! But Christ did NOT GO RIGHT TOO HIS FATHER AT DEATH is the point!

We do know what some folks still teach, huh? Even as seen in verse 19 these same ones call this hiding of the disciples on our Saturday evening's dark part for fear of the Jews a SUNDAY MORNING WORSHIP SERVICE!

What was it that was LACKING HERE? Notice verse 22! "When He had said this, HE BREATHED ON THEM, [AND SAIETH UNTO THEM, RECEIVE YE THE HOLY GHOST.]" YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN! Jn. 3:3

It is ONLY AT THIS POINT OF YOUR LIFE THAT ONE WILL DO AS CHRIST COMMANDED.. "IF YE LOVE ME KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS" LOVE COMES ONLY BY BEING BORN AGAIN!! SABBATH AND ALL!
