Why does “You were all one soul” also say “You were all once whole?”

There are numerous prophecies that people will gain knowledge and wisdom if they pay attention to how they hear and perceive words and some are given below. It is usually people who are quite fanatical about taking care of their body that say “My body is a temple”, but it starts in the first book of the Bible, Genesis, with extra information hidden in a word play, and the theme was continued in word plays as well.

“Clearly people understood what was being said”

This example may sound like it was said by some hippy, but it is accepted by many Christians already, because it was referred to by Jesus(pbuh) (1) and it is spoken about openly a lot in the letters added to the books of the Prophets and the Gospels in the Bible later. Clearly people understood what was being said (2) .

“This is why the word of God was described as truth”

More than one word play confirms it and you can easily see how this happens, using an example in modern English. “Idol” also says “Idle”, meaning that it does nothing. Idols are idle and that is a basic truth. This is why the word of God was described as truth (3). It is also why people were told repeatedly that they had not perceived the meaning of words (4) and why many celebrated and had a bit of a party when they heard the words they were given (5).

“and why many celebrated and had a bit of a party when they heard the words they were given”

In Hebrew the word wind could also mean spirit (6), so when God breathed life into the body of Adam(pbuh), He breathed His Spirit into him (7). Jesus(pbuh) carried the theme on. He referred to himself as the temple during his trial (1), and the word People could also mean Temple (1). Following the biblical creation story, we are all versions of Adam(pbuh), who God breathed something of His life into, so the idea that your body is a temple makes perfectly good sense.

This is why “You were all one soul” also says “You were all once whole”

The Islamic community believe in the same creation story, and there is a belief among Moslems that we were all one soul at the beginning. Since we all came from Adam(pbuh) in the creation story that would make sense. This is why “You were all one soul” also says “You were all once whole”. You are all part of the same thing, and the idea that we should treat other people as we want to be treated ourselves makes sense.

“A clever move by God”

In fact, as the letters at the back of the Bible note, since God placed something of His Spirit into Adam(pbuh) and everyone, religious people cannot be nasty to anyone and then say they follow the first commandment and love God. A clever move by God. If you love him, you need to show it by not being nasty to any human being that he placed something of His Spirit into.

“Everything will be revealed if you pay attention to how you hear words”

We can go much further than that as well and deal with the arguments between those who believe in Evolution and those who believe in the Creation Story. Jesus(pbuh) said that he had much more to say, that people at that time would not understand (8). The wisdom in the word plays contains truths, and he said that the Spirit of Truth would come and tell you(8). He also said that everything will be revealed if you pay attention to how you hear words (5), and those prophecies are beginning to come true here in the Adamic Revelations.

Why do softly spoken Canadian and American people say “Atom” like “Adam”?

If you ask a softly spoken Canadian or American person how they say the word “Atom”, you will find that they often say “Adam”. Did God breath something of life into the atom? Stand in any garden, wood or forest, look around at the plants, trees, insects, birds and animals and then try to say no. Plainly God breathed something of life into the atom, and it grew into everything else.

Dinosaurs were the large monsters, called Tanin, in the original Hebrew of Genesis 1:21.  So instead of disproving the Bible, they confirmed that what was written was correct and that it was written with knowledge of those times.

“Again, the wisdom in the word plays makes perfectly good sense”

As for the amount of time it took to create everything, “God’s hours aren’t ours” and it has been understood for a long time that a day in our time is very different to a day in God’s time. Again, the wisdom in the word plays makes perfectly good sense. Although some Moslems argue with the idea of Evolution, the Qur’an says that God is the Evolver (9), so there is no need for arguing.

“There are now no issues between those who believe in Evolution and those who believe that the Bible talks about what happened”

When you look at the simple truths of the matter, there are now no issues between those who believe in Evolution and those who believe that the Bible talks about what happened. The Prophet Daniel(pbuh) said that knowledge would increase (10), and Jesus(pbuh) said that there was more information to give you that people would not have understood back then (8). He also told you how you would receive information. Listen to the sound of words (5).

“There are also prophecies that how everything was created will be revealed”

As you can see, several prophecies are coming true here and the argument about Evolution is now solved. There will be more information here about evolution later. There are also prophecies that how everything was created will be revealed and you will see that start to happen here as well (11). It is closely linked to the information about Evolution.

“More importantly, there is a simple message”

More importantly, there is a simple message in this. Jesus(pbuh) openly said that the main message of the Prophets(pbut) and the Law is that we should treat each other as we want to be treated ourselves. Put simply, heaven is a peaceful place and if people won’t stop treating others badly, they will not be welcome there.

Some aggressive religious people, who would rather make war than have peace, are trying to stop other people of the same Faith as them from seeing what Jesus(pbuh) and those other Prophets(pbuh) said. Even though they believe that Jesus will come back to lead. To be clear, they are trying to hide what the Prophet Jesus(pbuh) and the other Prophets(pbuh) have already said about how to treat others.

“And if they ignore this, they ignore God”

They tell people around them to believe that their Holy Book, The Qur’an, says that you cannot believe what the Prophets(pbut) told you in the Bible. So I’m going to show you what their book says on the subject, and politely remind them that since they believe that God said this to them in their holy book, it is a command, and that if they ignore this, they ignore God. No one who claims to believe in God can do that so publicly and expect to be believed.

“Let there be no compulsion In religion”  God

This is the truth of the Qur’an, the Holy Book of the Islamic Faith, and the vast majority of Moslem people are peace loving and do not agree with the extremists that do bad things.

The Qur’an says that people cannot be forced to accept the Islamic Faith. It is a well known fact that the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) could do nothing to make one of his relatives accept the Islamic Faith.
Al Baqarah (Surah 2) 256  Let there be no compulsion In religion: Truth stands out Clear from Error: whoever Rejects Evil and believes In Allah hath grasped The most trustworthy Handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth And knoweth all things.

“Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day Of Judgement, hath gone Far, far astray”

The Qur’an clearly says that Moslems should say that they believe what is written of the Prophets(pbut) in the Bible, including Jesus
Al Imran (Surah 3) 84 Say: “We believe In Allah, and in what Has been revealed to us And what was revealed To Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, And in (the Books) Given to Moses, Jesus, And the Prophets, From their Lord: We make no distinction Between one and another Among them, and to Allah do we Bow our will.”

In fact, the Qur’an says that those who do not believe in what God revealed to His Prophets(pbut) in the Bible have gone a long way in the wrong direction
Al Nisa (Surah 4) 136 O ye who believe! Believe in Allah And His Messenger, And the scripture which He Hath sent to His Messenger, And the scripture which He sent To those before (him).  Any who denieth Allah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day Of Judgement, hath gone Far, far astray.

“The Qur’an clearly says you can be of a different Faith to Moslems”

The Qur’an states clearly that you can be a Jew, a Christian or a Sabian and that the Criterion for getting into heaven was Given to Moses(pbuh). Obviously, the Qur’an would not have referred you to those things given to Moses(pbuh) if they had been corrupted.

Al Baqarah (Surah 2) 62 Those who believe (in the Qur’an), And those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), And the Christians and the Sabians – Any who believe in Allah And the Last Day, And work righteousness, Shall have their reward With their Lord; on them Shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 

“Therefore the Prophet(pbuh) Muhammad did not tell Moslems …”

Some Moslems say that the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) told people that they should not believe what is in the Bible and that it is corrupted. They say that he told Moslems “Neither confirm nor deny” what the Bible says. Firstly, that statement says that Moslems should not deny what is in the Bible, and that is plainly obvious. Therefore the Prophet(pbuh) did not tell Moslems not to read what is in the Bible, he did not tell people not to believe it and he did not tell them to deny what it says. Because the Qur’an says the opposite and that Moslems should say that they believe what is written in the Prophets(pbut) and the Gospel, to deny the Bible is to deny the Qur’an. But there is something else that Moslems should consider carefully.

“Would any Prophet give you a Revelation directly from God and then tell you to disagree with it?”

Would any Prophet give you a Revelation directly from God and then tell you to disagree with it and tell other people to disagree with it as well? God told Moslems in the Revelation given to Muhammad(pbuh) to say that they believe what He revealed to His Prophets(pbut) in the Bible, and there can be no higher authority for people who believe in God than God Himself.

“It clearly says that they corrupted what was said, because they asked people who gave wrong information what to think, instead of checking for themselves”

Those Moslems who take some of their beliefs from a document entitled the Gospel of Barnabus may wish to check what it says about corruption of what God gave the Prophets(pbut) to tell people. Chapter 189 clearly says that they corrupted what was said, because they asked people who gave wrong information what to think, instead of checking for themselves what was written down for them by the Prophets(pbut).

According to Chapter 189, Jesus said, ‘Every prophecy hath they corrupted, in so much that today a thing is not saught because God hath commanded it, but men look to whether the doctors say it and whether the Pharisees observe it, as though God were in error and men could not err.’

“If they argue with it, they argue with God”

So if you are told to read the document called the Gospel of Barnabus, please remind people that it tells you to check for yourself what God said through His Prophets(pbut). And that it says that it is those who give other opinions instead of what was written, who are those who corrupt what God and the Prophets(pbut) said. Please remind people that they should check what the Qur’an says, and that it says they should believe what the Prophets(pbut) said in the Bible. If they argue with it, they argue with God.

You may wish to begin with “Do you agree with God where He says in the Qur’an that you should say that you believe in what he revealed through His Prophets (peace be upon them) in the Bible?” because this will emphasise to them that disagreeing with it would be a huge mistake.

“The alternative is to let bad people hide the truth and peace”

All things considered, it is fair to say that those who call themselves Moslems, but who are attacking Christians and others in the Sudan and other places, are clearly ignoring what their Prophet(pbuh), their Holy Book and what God told them to say and do. Worse, they are telling other people the wrong things and corrupting what they were told. No one of the Islamic Faith should support them in any way until they have stopped that wrong behaviour. Most Moslems do not support those with extreme views and are peaceful people, but this information needs to be provided because it will allow them to show other people the truth. There will be more here as well.

“You can’t ignore the Prophets without ignoring God”

Clearly, when Jesus steps forward, he will be critical of anyone who ignores, and who tries to hide, what he said several times. You can check what that was right now, below (12). Some people love to hate and it is not the way of Islam, Christianity or Judaism to behave like that. You can’t ignore the Prophets(pbut) without ignoring God. The more those with extreme views and who claim to be Moslems are reminded and told by other people to follow the Qur’an, read what Jesus said, and stop ignoring it, the greater the possibilities for peace will be. The alternative is to let bad people hide the truth and peace.

Relevant biblical references follow, including quotes to assist in calling for peace.

1 Jesus referred to himself as the temple and some did not understand

John 2:19-22 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 20: Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? 21: But he spake of the temple of his body. 22: When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.  (The matter of whether Jesus was crucified and died will be covered here later, with relevant references to prove it, along with the fulfilment of a prophecy in the Qur’an that you will be told why God created different Faiths. In the meantime, you may wish to read The Adamic Revelations Part 4, which is relevant. There will also be information about Palestine.)
Sirach 36:14 (Revised Standard Version*) Fill Zion with the celebration of thy wondrous deeds, and thy temple with thy glory.   Note: Page 151 of the hard copy of the Revised Standard Version, note Y shows Heb Syr: Gk Vg people, so that when Jesus referred to destroying the temple he was referring to himself as a person, using a word play.  A comparison of other interpretations of this verse shows that the words Thy Temple were often interpreted as Thy people.
Sirach 49:11-13  (Revised Standard Version*) How shall we magnify Zerubabel?  He was like a signet on the right hand, 12: and so was Jeshua the son of Jozadak; and in their days they built the house and raised a temple holy to the Lord, prepared for everlasting glory.  Note: Here the word Temple has also been interpreted as People.

2 Later people clearly understood the word play about God breathing his spirit into Adam and that we are all part of the same thing

1 Corinthians 3:16  (KJV) Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Ephesians 2:18  (KJV) For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.

3 The words used by God confirmed the truth by saying things more than once using word plays

John 17:17  (KJV) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Isaiah 43:8-9  (KJV) Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, the death that have ears.  9: Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth

There are other references to the word plays containing truths as well.

4 People were told repeatedly that they had not perceived the meaning of words

Deuteronomy 29:4 (KJV) Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.  Note: The heart was considered to be the brain and the mind.
Isaiah 6:9  (KJV) And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Job 33:14 (KJV) For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
Romans 11:7-10 (KJV) What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8: (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9: And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense unto them: 10: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always. Note: They would have to bow their backs to look closely at what was written.
2 Corinthians 3:14-16 (KJV) But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. 15:  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 16:  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.  Note: The veil was taken away by Jesus as he showed them the things that were veiled in word plays, but he said that later everything will be revealed.
Deuteronomy 32:28-29 (KJV) For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 29: O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Luke 19:41-42 (KJV) And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42: Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace but now they are hid from thine eyes.
Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV)  The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 30:11-14 (KJV)  For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.  12: It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?  13: Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear, and do it? 14: But the word is very nigh to thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.  Note: The heart was considered to be the brain and the mind.
Isaiah 44:18  (KJV) They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. 

It was prophesied that people would hear and understand and see and perceive

Isaiah 25:7  (KJV) And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
Isaiah 29:24  (KJV) They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Isaiah 32:3-4  (KJV) And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. 4: The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.  Note: The heart was considered to be the brain and the mind.
Isaiah 42:16  (KJV) And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not: I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.

5 People sometimes understood what the words said

Nehemiah 8:12 (KJV) And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

It was also said that it would be done again

Luke 8:17-18  (KJV) For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither anything hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.  18: Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.  (These verses have also been interpreted as: For nothing is hidden that will not become evident Nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light and made plain to all. So be sure you pay attention to what you hear.  To those who are open to my teaching more understanding will be given But to those who are not listening Even what they think they have will be taken away from them.)
Mark 4:22-24  (KJV) For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. 23: If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 24: And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

6 In Hebrew the word wind could also mean spirit

The Wisdom of Solomon 7:17-22 (Revised Standard Version*) For he it is who gave me unerring knowledge of what exists, to know the structure of the world and the activity of the elements; 18: the beginning and end and middle of times, the alternations of the solstices and the changes of the seasons, 19: the cycles of the year and the constellations of the stars, 20: the natures of animals and the tempers of wild beasts, the powers of spirits and the reasonings of men, the variety of plants and the virtues of roots; 21: I learned both what is secret and what is manifest, 22: for wisdom, the fashioner of all things, taught me. Note: In verse 20 the word Spirits has also been interpreted as Winds.

So when God’s Spirit moved over the waters, it also meant that the air blew over the sea, which is necessary for the rain.

Genesis 1:2  (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 
Luqman (Surah 31) 31  Seest thou not that the ships sail through the ocean by the Grace of Allah.- that He may show you of His Signs? Verily in this are Signs for all who constantly persevere and give thanks.  With the extra knowledge about wind meaning God’s Spirit, you can see that this text about the sailing ships that relied upon the wind to move, was saying in a poetic way that they were transported across the sea by God.  Here you can clearly see references to signs like these in the text as well.

7 God breathed his spirit into Adam

Genesis 2:7  (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 

8 Jesus said there was more to tell you and that the Spirit of Truth would give you the information

John 16:12-14  (KJV) I have many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.  13: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  14: He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and he shall shew it unto you.  Note: This prophecy is slowly coming true in front of you.

9 The Qur’an says God is the Evolver

Al Hashr (Surah 59) 24  He is Allah, the Creator, The Evolver, The Bestower of Forms (Or colours).  To Him belong The Most Beautiful Names: Whatever is in The heavens and on earth, Doth declare His Praises and Glory; And He is the Exalted In Might, the Wise.  Translation: The Meaning of the Glorious Qur’an, translated by Abdullah Yussuf Ali (1934).

10 The Prophet Daniel(pbuh) said that knowledge would increase

Daniel 12:4 (KJV) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

11 Prophecy said that you will see how things were created from the beginning

The Wisdom of Solomon 6:22-25 (Revised Standard Version*) I will tell you what wisdom is and how she came to be, and I will hide no secrets from you, but I will trace her course from the beginning of creation, and make the knowledge of her clear, and I will not pass by the truth; 23: neither will I travel in the company of sickly envy, for envy does not associate with wisdom. 24: A multitude of wise men is the salvation of the world, and a sensible king is the stability of his people. 25: Therefore be instructed by my words, and you will profit.  Note: Wisdom was often referred to in the feminine, the analogy being that it is something beautiful and desirable.

12 Jesus(pbuh) said that you should treat other people as yourself and treat them as you would wish to be treated. It will seem strange to people who grew up with a Christian education to see these things have to be shown, but many Moslems will not know what he said, despite believing that he will come back to lead. This is why what he said has been put here.

Matthew 7:12  (KJV) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
John 15:12  (KJV) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John 15:17  (KJV) These things I command you, that ye love one another.
Luke 6:31  (KJV) And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
1 John 3:11  (KJV) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
Luke 10:25-28  (KJV) And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26: He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28: And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.  Note: This goes on to the parable of the good Samaritan running from Luke 10:29-37, which is relevant because it shows that people should treat everyone well and not just their fellow countrymen.
Luke 10:29-37 (KJV) But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30:And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31: And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32: And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34: And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35: And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36: Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37: And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.  Note: This follows on from Luke 10:25-28, and was used to illustrate the point.
Matthew 5:43-48  (KJV) Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46: For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47: And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.  Note: The reason Jesus said to be nice to people who are nasty to you is coming up below.
Matthew 19:19  (KJV) Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:35-40  (KJV) Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36: Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37: Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38: This is the first and great commandment. 39: And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40: On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.  Note: Jesus clearly described showing kind behaviour to other people as a commandment from God and a Law from God.  You will see more about that here.
Mark 12:28-33  (KJV) And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?  29: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The lord our God is one Lord:  30: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  31: And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  There is none other commandment greater than these.  32: And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou has said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:  33: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Luke 6:27-38  (KJV) But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, 28: Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. 29: And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. 30: Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. 31: And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32: For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33: And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34: And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35: But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36: Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37: Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: 38: Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.  Note: The reason Jesus said to be nice to people who are nasty to you is coming up.
John 13:34-35  (KJV) A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35: By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 14:15 (KJV) If ye love me, keep my commandments.  Note: Moslems are told that they should love the Prophets(pbut).

These things were also referred to in the letters added to the Bible after the Gospel

Romans 13:8-10   (KJV) Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.  9: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.  10: Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Ephesians 4:1-6  (KJV) I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord [Paul knew we are stuck in this realm to show that we will not spoil heaven], beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2: With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3: Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4: There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5: One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6: One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.  Note: Verses 3 to 6 refer to God breathing His Spirit into Adam and Adam becoming everyone else.  Ephesians 3:14-18 is also consistent with this.
1 Thessalonians 4:6-9  (KJV) That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7: For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8: He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 9: But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.  Note: He was addressing the men and the same applies to women.  In modern English, “woman” also say “womb man” and “women” also says “we men”.
Galatians 5:14  (KJV) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

“This explains why Jesus said to be extra nice to people who are nasty to you”

Romans 12:14-21  (KJV) Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15: Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16: Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17: Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18: If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20: Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21: Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

The last statement that if you are kind to someone who is evil towards you, you heap coals upon his head, is said earlier in the Bible, and refers to sending people who are spiteful to hell, without making the mistake of joining them there because you did the same thing.
Proverbs 25:21-22  (KJV) If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 22: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.

In fact, the Qur’an reveals that you should compete to treat others well, as if you were running in a race. This explains why Jesus said to be extra nice to people who are nasty to you at Luke 6:27-38. And clearly, if everyone tried get on with each other instead of fighting, there would be peace.

Al Baqarah (Surah 2) 148  To each is a goal To which Allah turns him; Then strive together (as in a race) Towards all that is good. Wheresoever ye are, Allah will bring you Together.  For Allah hath power over all things. 

“However, you will be shown more.”

Jesus(pbuh) said that the Prophets(pbut) had said these things before, and some of the other things he said showed that he had been reading the book of Sirach, which is still part of some Bibles and which is part of the Apocrypha
Sirach 31:15 (Revised Standard Version*) Judge your neighbour’s feelings by your own, and in every matter be thoughtful.

“Clearly no one can tell God that He may not say anything else”

You may find that some Moslems have been told that because there would be no more Wahy, the way Muhammad(pbuh) received the Qur’an into his head, he said that there will be no more revelations or information from God anywhere again. God has told people that they should not be doing things that they were told about before many times. If He wishes to correct people, or tell them what He meant, obviously He can.

“What is more, the references to word plays are also in the Qur’an”

Clearly no one can tell God that He may not say anything else, and He has already referred Moslems to Prophecies about wisdom in word plays being shown to you that have not yet happened. What is more, the references to word plays are also in the Qur’an, including at least one prophecy about them. Namely that you will be shown why God created different faiths. That will be shown to you here, so if you are a Moslem, please bookmark this website and visit it again.

Al Nūr or Light (Surah 24) 46 We have indeed sent down signs that make things manifest [clear]: and Allah guides whom He wills to a way that is straight.

The Adamic Revelations – part 4

This is about the Bible itself.

The meaning of words is not always fixed to one thing and they can often say several things at the same time. The Written Adamic post at www.originallanguage.blogspot.com shows that word breaks are not fixed and sometimes overlap each other with words that say something else as well. The other things that are said are important.

This happens a lot in the original Hebrew of the books written by the Prophets(pbut) in the Bible, and it explains why some of the things that Jesus said were hidden from people (1), why they could not understand some of those things that he said (1), and why he opened their understanding of the scriptures (2).

It is why the Prophet Daniel(pbuh) noticed other words and asked God what they were about twice, and was told by God to ignore them because they were for a later time (3). It is also why the Prophet Isaiah(pbuh) was quoted more than once in the Gospels, where he was told by God to tell people that they hear but do not understand, and see but do not perceive (4).

It is why the biblical book of Job says that God speaks not just once but twice, but mankind does not perceive it (5), and it is why King David(pbuh) said that God spoke once and he heard it twice (6).

It is why Jesus said that he was doing what was written in the Law and the prophets about him (7). When he said that he came to fulfil the Law (8), he fulfilled it in two ways. Firstly, the Gospels say he always did what pleased God (9), and secondly, he said that he had to fulfil the hidden laws about him (7).

How can we show this? It is why Moses referred to the secret things that they heard and did (10). It explains why Paul would refer to a volume of the book and wrote that it also said what Jesus was supposed to do, in writing (11). This seems to be a text in Psalms.

There is much more too, because Jesus said that all of the Prophets(pbut) before John the Baptist (who was there at the same time as him) prophesied about him (12).

So the biblical books called The Prophets say more than one thing at the same time.

In fact, there are various biblical prophecies that the additional information will be revealed, and these are very useful for the marketing department of any organisations that choses to market information to people who follow the bible. (Any suggestion that these things should be kept quiet is nonsense. In truth, the information is already with us. It has been published around the world to billions of people for over 2000 years, and it was prophesied repeatedly that we would see these things, so that this is part of the mainstream Bible in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.)

Specific reference points follow for researchers.

1. Things Jesus said were hidden at first

Luke 18:31-34: (KJV) Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32: For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked and spitefully treated, and spitted on: 33: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again. 34: And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Luke 9:44-45 (KJV) Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. 45: But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
Matthew 11:25 (KJV) At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (Babes meant people who were not so educated and so heavily indoctrinated into existing religious beliefs that they could not be open minded enough to look at the prophecies and see that they matched what was in front of them.)
Luke: 10:21 (KJV) In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Luke 19:41-42 (KJV) And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42: Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace but now they are hid from thine eyes.
2 Corinthians 3:14- 16 (KJV) But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. 15: But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their heart. 16: Nevertheless when is shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. Note: When Moses returned from Mount Sinai, his face was bright and it made the other people so nervous that he covered his face with a veil. Because the Jews of those times were aware of rich word plays in the Hebrew language, the meaning of the veil would have been clear to those around him. What he spoke through the veil was veiled, and there was more meaning in the words.
Colossians 1:25-27 (KJV) Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God: 26: Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Matthew 11:13 (KJV) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

2. Jesus showed them what the scriptures also said

Luke 24:44-46 (KJV) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalm, concerning me. 45: Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46: And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

3. Daniel noticed other words in the written text, asked God what they were about and was told they were there for something in the future

Daniel 12:4 (KJV) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:8-9 (KJV) And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these times. 9: And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

4. The Prophet Isaiah(pbuh) is quoted where he was told by God to tell people that they hear but do not understand, and see but do not perceive

Isaiah 6:9-10 (KJV) And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10: Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Acts 28:23-27 (KJV) And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 24: And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 25: And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers. 26: Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 27: For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
John 12:37-41 (KJV) But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: 38: That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believe our report and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? 39: Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, 40: He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. 41: These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.

5. The biblical book of Job says God sometimes speaks not just once but twice

Job 33:14 (KJV) For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

6. David(pbuh) heard what God said two times

Psalms 62:11-12 (KJV) God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. 12: Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

7. Jesus said that he was fulfilling the prophecies about him in the Laws

Luke 24:44 (KJV) And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalm, concerning me.
Luke 18:31-33 (KJV) Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32: For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked and spitefully treated, and spitted on: 33: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
John 1:45 (KJV) Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

8. Jesus said that he had to fulfil the Laws about him

Matthew 5:17-18 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

9. Jesus fulfilled his obligations to the Law and did what pleased God

John 8:29 (KJV) And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone: for I do always those things that please him.

10. Moses referred to the secret things that they heard and did

Deuteronomy 29:29 (KJV) The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

11. Paul says where to find something else written

Hebrews 10:7-10 (KJV) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8: Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9: Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Psalm 40:3-11 (KJV) And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 4: Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5: Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. 6: Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7: Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8: I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9: I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10: I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 11: Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12: Jesus said that there was a lot more

Matthew 11:13 (KJV) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

The prophecies that the name of Jesus would mean different things worked in the same way and they are also here.

Examples of additional words in Hebrew text
Demonstrating that the written text in Hebrew can say more than one thing is very easy because examples are provided in a book called The Bible Code, by Michael Drosnin. The book is about more things being written at different speeds, leaving equal spaces between characters in a very simple way, but there are various references to other things being written in the normal way in the prophets, with different word breaks. Just watch out for where he refers to plain text and things being written without a skip code. For example, The Bible Code, page 169: ‘The hidden text of the last verse is not really in a code, but revealed by slightly different word breaks in the original text. The warning is very clear – ‘for everyone, the great terror: fire, earthquake’ – and it cannot be by chance that this is the last secret revealed in the Bible.’ That is the original Hebrew Torah, and refers to the last verse of Deuteronomy. (The Qur’an has Judgment Day as a giant earthquake, so that radical people who think they are somehow going to take part in it should know that they will be a little bit busy falling over and having accidents, just like everyone else.)

The Written Adamic post at www.originallanguage.blogspot.com also contains useful information about how we naturally take in the next part of the next word as we read, so that we have a natural ability to change word breaks, if we loosen up a bit about things like spellings and grammar. The rest of that blog will also be of interest, as it is about the word plays.

Interpreting texts into other languages
Interpreting texts for people in different languages is made much quicker and easier by the fact that there are online multilingual bibles, such as http://mlbible.com. Other online Bible search tools are available and some can be found at www.understandingprophecies.blogspot.com on the right hand side. The Bible Code books showing alternative things written in Hebrew have also been interpreted and printed in a lot of languages, so that it will be easy for interpreters to find examples that are already in their own languages. It is also worth noting that word plays can cross language barriers, and continue revealing more information in word plays in the new language, and you can read some examples in the post called Adamic works in other languages at www.originallanguage.blogspot.com. (Word plays can also cross time barriers. For example, when Jesus washed his disciple’s feet, he said they didn’t know what he was doing and the word plays work in modern English. “He washed their feet and he cleaned their soles” also says “He washed their feat and he cleaned their souls”, so that he was symbolically saying that he was giving them a clean record.)

Huge amounts of information to be revealed
The organisation that launches the information about this first and shows that it is the leading provider, or brand, on the subject can look forward to on going work in this area, because if you know where to look for them, there are prophecies that how everything works will be explained. That is infinite and the brand leader on the subject can look forward to an on going income. However, as the information is already in the public domain but lightly veiled, it can only be the market leader by revealing things first and the factual information cannot be proprietary because it was written down thousands of years ago. And it has been published around the world.

Pay attention for very big revelations about the Bible

A very big revelation about the Bible itself will be revealed at www.originallanguage.blogspot.com and www.understandingprophecies.blogspot.com soon.

It is not at all a small thing, and it will open a whole new area of study.

It will be particularly interesting to media outlets, and will provide organisations that make educational programs and materials with a head start in researching, writing and providing such things for the billions of people around the world who reference the Bible

Numerous biblical prophecies about this revelation will assist in marketing the information. Because there is huge a global market for it, it will literally be worth millions. The nation that is home to the organisation that gets the educational information together and markets it first, can look forward to millions of pounds worth of exports and a welcome boost to its economy in these difficult times.

Adamic Revelations 3 - The name of Jesus would mean different things

When Christians tell the story of the birth of Jesus(pbuh), which was prophesied, they read the parts showing that Joseph and Mary were told what to call him.

Usually they don’t mention that this was because Jesus’ name was prophesied, or why. There were a number of prophecies that Jesus had to fulfil to show that he was the Messiah, before he could begin to perform the role. Among those prophecies was that his name would mean more than one thing. That was only possible because of word plays.

The name of Jesus could say different things at the same time, and in different languages too. It is because his name matched those prophecies, and also said other things, that the New Testament repeatedly refers to people believing in his name. Using word plays, his name meant different things. That is why people believed in his name, and you can find many biblical references to people believing in it.

One of the things that his name would mean was Mighty God. A Theophoric name is a name that contains or hints at the name of a god. Those names, which are still common today in many languages, suggested the protection of that god and made people wary of attacking that person. Jesus is the Greek interpretation of one of the meanings of his name. His Hebrew name, Jehoshua, has the same root meaning as Jehovah, so it was a Theophoric name. But the prophecies showed that his name would say various things.

Since so many people believed in his name, it did.

In fact, in the original language, Jesus of Nazareth also works as a word play saying Rabbinical school. One of the Prophets said that Jesus would be called a Nazarene, meaning that he would live in Nazareth for a time. Since Jesus was also a Rabbi and was teaching others, the word plays make sense.

These are some of the signs that he matched the prophecies about the expected person who would tell them things, and they are some of the signs that made a lot of people at the time believe that he was the real Messiah. (Messiah and Christ mean anointed, and Jesus was anointed by God to show that he was the one who would do a number of things prophesied of the Messiah figure.)

Naturally, as the other meanings of the name given to Jesus are uncovered in word plays, we should see greater unity between Christians, Moslems (who already believe Jesus was the Messiah and that he will come back) and those Jews who do not currently accept Jesus as the Messiah. (The Prophet Daniel(pbuh) was given the time that the Messiah figure would arrive, and it has long since past.)

These things show that Jesus was the expected Messiah, and this information will lead to greater unity and increase the possibilities for agreement and peace. They also show that word plays were used a great deal and that they formed a lot of the proof that was accepted at the time.

Some of the biblical texts that show the name of Jesus would mean different things follow.

Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) …and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Jeremiah 23:6 (KJV) In his days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness.
Matthew 1:21-23 (KJV) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22: Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23: Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

The Theophoric nature of the name of Jesus is clearly seen in the New Testament, and he made mention of it himself more than once. To give you a couple of examples, he mentions being there in God’s name.

John 5:43 (KJV) I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
John 10:25 (KJV) Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed me not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.

As you can see, it gets mentioned in some very well known parts of the Bible.

Matthew 21:9 (KJV) And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Mark 11:9 (KJV) And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 19:38 (KJV) Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
John 12:12-13 (KJV) On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13: Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke 13:35 (KJV) Behold, your house if left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

The religious leaders (who had tried to stop anyone who said that they were the Messiah from speaking in a synagogue) tried to put a stop to this prophesied proof that he was the one expected, by stopping people from talking about it.

Acts 4:17-18 (KJV) But that it spread not further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18: And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

They even went so far as trying to have a local court put a stop to any talk of these prophesied signs. You can clearly see that the judge would not get involved with their disagreement about names and words at Acts 18:15.

Acts 18:12-15 (KJV) And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgement seat. 13: Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. 14: And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you: 15: But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.

One way of doing the word plays is to look at how they are written, and there is a subtle word play in one of the descriptive names given to Jesus. He is often called the lamb of God. The b at the end of the word lamb is not pronounced and remains silent. Prophecy said that Jesus would be a light for the gentiles, the non-Jews, and he said that he was the light of the world. If you try and pronounce the b at the end of the word lamb, you will find yourself saying lamp, which is another word for a light.

There is more than one reason why Jesus would be a light to the world. One of them is that you need light to see, and Jesus was letting them see things like this. Keep watching this website during 2012, because at Matthew 4:22-24 and at Luke 8:17-18 he said that everything will be revealed if you pay attention to what you hear.

If anyone tells you that there will be no further revelations, remind them of those, and the references to the Spirit of Truth telling people everything at John 16:12-14 (KJV) I have many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14: He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and he shall shew it unto you.

Feel free to add that Proverbs said that it is the glory of God to hide things from people.
Proverbs 25:2 (KJV) It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

And that prophecy in the Old Testament repeatedly said that God would reveal things later, and in words.
Isaiah 42:16 (KJV) And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not: I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isaiah 35:5 (KJV) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Isaiah 29:18 (KJV) And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
Isaiah 42:18 (KJV) Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Isaiah 56:1 (KJV) Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

The fact that word plays were used also explains why Jesus replied that those who asked him a couple of questions had answered him at the same time. The answer was contained in their questions, in word plays.
