Jesus Wants To Share Authority With His Family

For a while now the above scripture has interested me. What did Jesus mean? The answer is remarkable. The research I am sharing with you I have been looking at for a while. I spent some time vetting it. In the past I have been critical of theologians/ bible scholars mainly because seminaries are corrupted by the Catholic military Jesuits. Is this true of all who have gone to seminaries and have become biblical scholars with PHD’s in specific fields of study? I am willing to believe that it is possible that some may not be motivated by a carrier in academia but rather, are willing to follow a different calling. A couple I would like to mention are Dr. Tim Mackie and his partner Jon Collins of the Bible Project and Dr. Michael Hieser. For the most part I have not paid attention to the apocrypha and the so called second temple writings. I distrust the time period of the Babylonian exile and do not know about the Jewish scribes that compiled them. I am still looking into this and possibly will share some findings at another time. Nevertheless, I am cautiously looking at evidence that appears to prove these writings along with evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls have value in filling in some of the back story of mainly old testament teachings regarding, not just one rebellion in Eden, but two additional events that are key in understanding how earthly nations get their power. It could be possible for someone who has taken many years to learn ancient cosmology and the Hebrew language to study these writings in relation to inspired bible narratives. It is important to me that Heiser does not consider them to be inspired but rather tools that represent a snapshot of ancient cultural world views. As well he bases his findings in inspired scripture. You may even have an ah-ha moment where it all comes together for you. It is a lot of info and Michael Heiser has many resources for further study. Fortunately there is a documentary that is easy to watch. The Unseen Realm - documentary film with Dr. Michael S. Heiser.

Rather than me explaining the findings. I will encourage you to watch. I believe this is a very important message. Jesus had something very important to tell his disciples when he came back from the dead. Not only did he have all power in heaven and earth because he had reclaimed the nations, but his followers have a job to do.

The Holy Spirit is molding us into a worldwide family of people who after having been witnesses to the failure of rulership apart from Yahweh, eagerly await direction from our King. It will continue to fascinate my imagination how these wonderful things will be accomplished.
