“And I heard the number of them which were sealed; and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of Israel.” Revelation 7:4. The word sealed means to stamp with a signet or private mark (for security or preservation), referring to a spiritual security or preservation.

“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”  Genesis 32:30. It is our spiritual life that is preserved, through which we enter an invisible wall of protection, the measure of which is 144. 

“And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.” Revelation 21:17.  How does man reach this spiritual measure of 144?  By obeying Jesus’ instruction pertaining to the twelve tribes of Israel:  “And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”  Matthew 19:28. The word regeneration means anew; the process of forming again, referring to the forming of a new creation from within, “a new heaven and a new earth,”symbolizing a new mind and a new heart,” through which “the first heaven and the first earth” (formed in a darkness we mistook for light; through lies we mistook for truth) passes away.  “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.” Revelation 21:1

The twelve tribes of Israel are neither lost nor extinct, but existing within in the form of positive and negative aspects.  We are to judge the negative aspects of the tribes, which is to overcome them. The number twelve represents judgment, as we see in our own judicial system.  Judging the 12 tribes of Israel formulates to 12 x 12, which equals 144, “the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.”   An angel is a messenger. Those that hear (through obedience) the message of the angel of the first 6 churches in the book of Revelation reach the spiritual measure of 144.   As God’s physical creation was formed through 6 days of works (not to be taken literally), our new spiritual creation is formed through 6 (metaphorical) days of (spiritual) works.  A day is 24 hours, 6 days formulating to 6 x 24, which equals 144.  These spiritual works are the works of the spiritual judgment that is to take place within us— the act of overcoming all of our false religious and personal beliefs. Those that reach the spiritual measure of 144 by executing God’s spiritual judgment upon themselves, enter the 1,000-year reign of Christ: 144 + 1,000 = 144,000. “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them…  and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years…”  Revelation 20:7. The reign of Christ begins within the individual when what constitutes christ (love and truth) rules their mind and heart.  These make up the 144,000 mentioned in chapter seven of the book of Revelation.  Notice that the tribe of Dan is not listed among the tribes. That is because the word Dan means judge, and the 144,000 have already judged themselves.

THE TEN VIRGINS

“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1

The kingdom of heaven symbolizes the realm of the mind.  It is likened unto ten virgins because the number ten is associated with the mind, which enters a virgin state through its purification. The quieting of the mind is an eastern practice that aids in the purification of the mind, which is encoded in both the Old and New Testament. Moses instructs the children of Israel, chosen to represent us the people, to “stand still,” the word still meaning be silent, quiet self. The book of Revelation teaches us that the seventh seal is opened through silence in heaven, which symbolizes the mind. Through silence in the mind, the seventh chakra is opened, connecting us to the divine power of the heart. When we quiet our mind, we give power to what Moses symbolizes, which is the holy Spirit.  As the Spirit of God moved upon the waters in the Creation, and upon the waters of the Red Sea, the holy spirit, if not resisted, will move upon the spiritual waters, symbolizing the thoughts of the mind, influencing our thoughts, causing us to think differently, the meaning of repentance. John baptized unto repentance; a baptism that illustrated the purification of the mind, which the ten virgins symbolize.  Jesus gives the instruction through his cleaning of the cup and platter parable.  The cup symbolizes the mind.  The platter symbolizes the heart.  To purify the heart we must move beyond repentance and into perfection.

Israel, like heaven, symbolizes the Mind, which consisted of ten tribes, descending from ten of Jacob’s sons, those born of Leah and the bondmaids, symbolizing flesh and bondage.  When we silence our mind it enters a virgin state, prepared for the truth that makes us free of our spiritual flesh and bondage, as the virgins prepared themselves for the bridegroom, and as Esther prepared herself for the king.  “…for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours…” Esther 2:12.  The oil symbolizes the anointing—  the spiritual anointing, through which the mind and heart are made pure.  The word myrrh means distillation, which is the purification of water, which like the sea, symbolizes the thoughts of the mind.

“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.”   Matthew 25:1. The kingdom of heaven symbolizes the realm of the mind.   The lamps symbolize the hearts of those that have purified their minds, and those that think they have purified their minds. “And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:”   Matthew 25:2,3. This is where we see what separates the wise virgins from the foolish virgins.  The five wise had oil in their lamps, symbolizing the anointing in their hearts.  The five foolish virgins represent those that think they have been made pure, but having no oil, being without the anointing, have been deceived. “But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.” Matthew 25:4. The five wise are those that have not been deceived by a false doctrine, one that teaches purification of the mind through any other way than what Jesus taught, which is through the heart. The mind alone does not have the power to bring us into the pure spiritual state symbolized by the virgin.  We are not made pure by thinking positive thoughts, or by repeating some prayer or mantra.  We can only be made pure through the spiritual anointing or christ power of the heart— the oil the five wise have, but the five foolish lack. 

“While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept… (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…” Matthew 25:5.  The bridegroom, symbolizing spiritual truth, has been delayed for over fifteen hundred years due to religious iniquity; the spiritual veil that has rendered the spiritual mind unconscious, possessed by the spirit of slumber.  “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt… And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” Daniel 12:2,3. The dust of the earth symbolizes the spiritual inactivity of the heart— the spiritual power called christ lying dormant in the heart of man.  But some will awaken out of this dormant state and begin their heart-purification process.  They are the wise, having oil in their lamps.

“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.”  Matthew 25:6-9. Midnight. The twelfth hour, the number twelve representing judgment. Those purifying themselves through God’s spiritual or internal judgment, have entered the bedchamber, where the spiritual seed of truth is being sown. “And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.”  Matthew 25:10.  Marriage is intercourse— a spiritual intercourse through which the holy seed or word of truth is sowed in our heart.  The door of the bedchamber is open to those that are believing, obeying, putting action (knowingly or unknowingly) to the works outlined in the churches in the book of Revelation, and closed to those that are not.

 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door…”  Revelation 3:7,8. The door is open to those purifying themselves through the spiritual or internal works encoded in the symbolism of God’s Word. “Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.”  Matthew 25:11. These, believing the religious iniquity, think  they have purified themselves, but they have climbed up some other way.  The word “know” or “knew” is intercourse.  Adam knew Eve and she conceived.  God’s holy seed cannot and will not pass through the veil of religious iniquity. “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. ” Matthew 7:23

2012 DECODED

iuO6Y15085“The Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear…”

In the year 2000, the world made its transition from one biblical era to another.  From the carnal “era of Isaac” to the spiritual “era of Jacob”; a transition that was illustrated two thousand years ago when John the Baptist decreased and Jesus the Christ increased.  It was to be man’s transition from repentance to perfection through the spiritual works that Jesus spoke of and demonstrated for us while he was on this earth.  But mankind has not been performing these spiritual works for the past two thousand, making little spiritual advancement due to the carnal-minded doctrines of religion, which fail to teach these deeper works.  If man accepts this transition by doing the spiritual works, there will be peace and tranquility.  If he resists, there will be more wars and destruction, causing much anxiety. 

“The Mayans prophesied that from 1999 we have 13 years to realize the changes in our conscious attitude to stray from the path of self-destruction and instead move onto a path that opens our consciousness to integrate us with all that exists.”  – Joseph Robert Jochmans

The biblical time of transition took place in 2000, giving us 12 years to actualize positive change through a spiritual judgment that takes place in the heart, the number 12 representing judgment.  At the end of these twelve years, a physical judgment will begin to take place in the earth. 

“And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,”   Revelation 7:2

This is the travailing of mother earth, revealing the spiritual travailing that should already be taking place in our spiritual mother— in our heart.  The time of trouble mentioned in the 12th chapter of Daniel, meaning judge of God, is to bring on the spiritual birth in those that have yet to begin this transition.

“Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.  And I heard the number of them that were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.”  Revelation 7:3, 4

  144,000.  The number of days in a Baktun cycle.  But more importantly, it is a spiritual measure reached through the spiritual judgment.

“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”  Matthew 19:28

Each tribe has a positive and negative aspect.  We are to judge (overcome) the negative aspects.  The number 12 represents judgment. Judging the 12 tribes formulates to 12 x 12, which equals 144.  

“And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits”  Rev. 21:17

Those that complete this spiritual judgment enter a spiritual wall of protection. These have become pure in heart through a spiritual sacrifice, entering what is referred to as the 1,000 year reign of Christ: 144 + 1,000 = 144,000.

What do man’s carnal sacrifices have in common?  The sacrificing of the pure and of the innocent.

In the “era of Abraham” (4000 years ago) Abraham was instructed to sacrifice his innocent son. Five hundred years later, the Hebrews would be instructed to sacrifice a lamb without spot or blemish, illustrating what would take place in the “era of Isaac” (2000 years ago), when a human lamb, one without spot or blemish (without sin) was sacrificed. Why would God first instruct Abraham to sacrifice his innocent son?  To show us, through the ancient language of biblical symbolism, the spiritual act that has taken place in our heart; the son symbolizing the word of God, which is truth, revealing the sacrificing of a spiritual innocence or purity, which according to scripture begins to take place just past the age of four.  In the end, it was not Abraham’s innocent son that was sacrificed, but the ram, symbolizing idolatry, the worshipping of false images, which we do by giving reverence to the false religious and personal beliefs of our heart.

The Mayans misinterpreted the ancient spiritual knowledge given them in the way of symbols.  It was not the literal heart that was to be sacrificed, but the spiritual impurities of the heart.  

“When he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.”  Proverbs 26:25

“For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:” Matthew 15:19

I can only hope that over the next 5 years many of us will become still, quieting our mind, entering that spiritual temple called the heart, discovering and sacrificing the false religious and personal beliefs, whose negative and destructive energy is bringing death.  Let us be diligent, setting aside beliefs and disciplines that serve only to bring us an illusion of peace.  Setting aside the things that distract us from the spiritual works that must be performed in order to spiritually prepare us for the dismal prophecies predicted for our future due to our fallen spiritual state.

UNITED STATES FLAG SYMBOLISM

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

flag_eagle_header-smThe eagle symbolizes the presence of God
Red symbolizes the Spirit of God— Love
White symbolizes the Word of God—Truth
Love and Truth is the presence of God

Blue symbolizes the peeling off process that makes us free, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. The seven red stripes represent this spiritual process or metamorphosis. The number seven refers to the spiritual. 

In Hebrew, the word seven means to seven oneself, seven times (7×7), which equals 49, the number of days between Passover and the day of Pentecost or Shabuoth. The new life we obtain through our one-time spiritual Passover and one-time spiritual day of Pentecost, is 1 added to 49, bringing us to a spiritual measure of 50— to our spiritual Jubilee:

“Jubilee, among the ancient Jews, extraordinary Sabbatical year (following every seventh ordinary Sabbatical year) celebrated every 50th year. In the year of Jubilee, the land was completely left to rest. All debts were remitted; land that had been alienated was restored to it original owners; and all Jews, who, through poverty, had obliged to hire themselves out as servants, were released from bondage.”  (Funk and Wagnalls New Encyclopedia. 1986 ed.)

The fifty stars symbolize the freedom that is associated with the spiritual process that brings us out of spiritual and physical bondage. The process through which we are made free is encoded in the 49th chapter of Genesis.

OLD AGE & NEW AGE BELIEFS

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

Audio Version

Having spent a considerable amount of time on Christian and Spiritual message boards, I began to see parallels between those of mainstream Christianity and those of new age Christianity.  Those of the old age were claiming to be born again and saved.  Those of the new age were saying the same thing, but in a different language, claiming they were already spirit and perfect, they just had to remember it, and believe it.  While one group claimed to have the Holy Spirit, which is to say you have the Power of God, the other group claimed they were God.  And both groups showed little respect for the earth. The one waiting to be whisked away in what they call the rapture, escaping the evil literally, the other calling the earth an illusion, escaping its evil through the power of their mind, denying that evil even exists, calling anything negative and destructive, such as disease, an illusion.  After seeing these parallels, I asked before going to sleep one night, “Lord, Why the parallels between these two groups of people?” I awoke to the words, “It’s the two gold calves the king of Israel set up in Dan and Bethel.  It’s the same image; an old religious belief in a new age wrapping.”  I understood the symbolism in the biblical story immediately.  And as time went by, I began to fully understand why it had come about.  For over fifteen hundred years now, the children of God have been humiliated and browbeaten by religion, stripped of their self-worth and self-esteem, stripped of their authentic power, controlled by fear.  Many of these children of God left the religious system in a very down-trodden emotional state, which made them overly susceptible to a belief that would make them feel good about themselves, their hearts eager to take on a belief that would tell them that they were okay, they were not sinners bound for hell.  It was the perfect time for the arrival of a new belief, one that would tell them what they so desperately wanted, and needed to hear. This belief helped them change the way they thought about themselves, gently patting them on the back, telling them they were perfect just the way they were.  This belief would also teach them that there was no such thing as evil, and that the world that had hurt them so badly was just an illusion, a dream, so they could set their mind at rest; they could be at peace in their mind.  This childish belief, while serving in part to help the children regain their self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth, was causing the children of God to push the boundaries, as children do. They were taking it too far, impatiently proclaiming a spiritual state that can only be reached through spiritual works that change the heart.

The Church told them they had sin, but in the wrong spirit, and with no truthful word of instruction on how to purify themselves.  When one walks away from a religious belief, it is important to understand that the same emotional energy that gave power to the old belief is carried over, transferred to the new belief, which in this case was no different than the old belief, just spoken in a different language.  In both cases, the spiritual works that transform the negative and destructive energy of the heart into positive and constructive energy are not being performed.  These two beliefs are one and the same, one existing at each end of a linear line.  Bringing the two ends together through their parallels reveals that they are at the same point or place; having the same state of mind— deluded, their erroneous beliefs powered by what the Bible calls “the energy of delusion,” providing the mind with a false peace that acts as a wall, separating the follower of such a belief from his own heart, which symbolized by the temple, is where we offer up the spiritual sacrifices that purify our heart.

HOPI “MESSAGE TO ALL MANKIND”

/ Sandra L. Butler / Leave a comment

Dan Evehema

In the year 2000 we entered the spiritual “era of Jacob,” when we are to worship God on a spiritual level; the instructions encoded in the Holy Bible, which is written in a symbolic language, the language of the Native American peoples. Through revelation of the symbolic code of the Bible, received between 1998 and 2005, we are able to incorporate the spiritual knowledge of the Word of God with the message coming through the Spirit of God by way of Hopi Chief Dan Evehema’s very powerful and life-saving message to all mankind:

“We Hopi believe that the human race has passed through three different worlds and life ways since the beginning.  At the end of each prior world, human life has been purified or punished by the Great Spirit Massauu due mainly to corruption, greed, and turning away from the Great Spirit’s teachings. The last great destruction was the flood which destroyed all but a few faithful ones who received permission from the Great Spirit to live with Him in this new land. The Great Spirit said, “It is up to you, if you are willing to live my poor, humble, and simple life way.  It is hard but, if you agree to live according to my teachings and instructions, if you never lose faith in the life I shall give you, you may come and live with me.”

The great destruction is spiritual.  The flood symbolizes the overflowing of iniquity caused by a turning away from the spiritual teachings of God’s Word. The new land is the promised land, symbolizing the new life promised us if we are willing to live according to the spiritual teachings and instructions of God’s Word.  The few faithful ones are those that have performed the spiritual works of a spiritual creation, receiving spiritual life, receiving permission to live with God (Revelation 21:1-3).  They are spiritually poor (Matthew 5:3).  They are humble in the spiritual sense, having made their way down to a spiritual Jordan, meaning, a descender, describing their humble posture, stepping on twelve metaphorical stones, symbolizing the spiritual works of their new creation, through which they receive a new life.

“The Hopi and all who were saved from the great flood made a sacred covenant with the Great Spirit at that time. To the Hopi the Great Spirit is all powerful. He appeared to the first people as a man and talked with them in the beginning of the creation of this world.  He taught us how to live, to worship, where to go and what food to carry, gave us seeds to plant and harvest. He gave us a set of sacred stone tablets into which he breathed all teachings.  In these stone tablets were made instructions and prophecies and warnings. This was done with the help of Spider Woman. Before the Great Spirit went into hiding, He and Spider Woman put before the leaders of the different groups of people many colors and sizes of corn for them to choose.  The Hopi was the last to pick and then chose the smallest ear of corn. Then Massauu said, You have shown me you are wise and humble. For this reason you will be called Hopi (people of peace).”

The sacred covenant is called the new covenant, which is synonymous with the new creation.  The first people are the children of Israel, chosen to represent us the people.  The Great Spirit that appeared to them was Moses, the Spirit of God personified.  If Mankind had followed the instructions in Genesis (the first book of Moses), which means creation, he would live according to God, the Great Spirit.  Moses gave the people instructions in the form of  two sacred stone tablets, which contained the spiritual teachings that man was to live by. The corn symbolizes the spiritual seed or word of God.  Joseph was in possession of the corn, wearing a coat of many colors, which like the many colors of Hopi corn, symbolize degrees of spiritual growth.  Hopi, last to pick of the corn, picked the smallest.  Benjamin, the last son of Jacob, received the smallest inheritance (in measure of land).  But the richest inheritance (in spiritual measure) with regard to that spiritual land called the heart, the new Jerusalem, the word Jerusalem meaning founded peaceful.   Hopi (people of peace) are wise and humble, as the people who humble themselves to the spiritual judgment symbolized by the twelve stones of the Jordan, and the twelve tribes of Israel, through which one obtains internal peace (Psalms 122).

“It was to Spider Woman’s two grandsons the sacred stone tablets were given.  These two brothers were instructed to carry them to a place the Great Spirit had instructed them. The older brother was to go immediately to the east, to the rising sun, and upon reaching his destination was instructed to immediately start to look for his younger brother who shall remain in the land of the Great Spirit.  The older brother’s mission when he returned was to help his younger brother (Hopi) bring about peace, brotherhood and everlasting life. Hopi, the younger brother, was instructed to cover all land and mark it well with footprints and sacred markings to claim this land for the Creator and peace on earth. We established our ceremonials and sacred shrines to hold this world in balance in accordance with our first promise to the Creator. This is how our migration story goes, until we met the Creator at Old Oraibi (place that solidifies) over 1000 years ago.  It was at that meeting when he gave to us these prophecies to give to you now at this closing of the Fourth World of destruction and the beginning of the Fifth World of peace. He gave us many prophecies to pass on to you, and all have come to pass. This is how we know the timing is now to reveal the last warnings and instructions to mankind.”

Benjamin and Joseph, two brothers, symbolizing the two divine attributes of God, the spiritual anointing that brings peace to the heart.  Moses and Aaron, two brothers, symbolizing the Spirit and Word of God, which carry the sacred stone tablets (containing the spiritual laws) to a place the Great Spirit had instructed them, which is the Heart (Jeremiah 31:33).  The older brother was to go to the east and look for his younger brother, illustrating the Word of God reuniting with the Spirit, resulting in the resurrection of spiritual truth, which the rising sun symbolizes.  When they come together in the heart of man, there will be peace, brotherhood, and everlasting life (Psalms 133:1-3)  The sacred markings symbolize the inscribing of truth on that spiritual land called the heart.  The ceremonials and sacred shrines are now to be performed and erected spiritually, bringing balance and peace to the heart, which will bring balance and peace to the earth.  The word Oraibi (in Arabic) means Intelligent, associating it with the Mind.  But the Mind is not the place that solidifies. The place that solidifies is the Heart.  Seed solidifies or forms in that spiritual earth called the heart, not in that spiritual heaven called the mind.  Oraibi (in Chaldean numerology) is the number 5.  Jesus (the seed of God) came in the Fifth; in the beginning of the fifth thousandth year.  When the spiritual seed of God (truth) is sowed in the spiritual earth of man, the Fifth World of peace begins.

We were told to settle permanently here in Hopiland where we met the Great Spirit and to wait for Older Brother, who went east, to return to us. When he returns to this land he will place his stone tablets side by side to show all the world that they are our true brothers — when the road in the sky has been fulfilled and when the inventing of something, in Hopi means, gourd of ashes, a gourd that, when it drops upon the earth will boil everything within a large space and nothing will grow for a very long time. We were told that three helpers who were commissioned by the Great Spirit to help Hopi bring about the peaceful life on earth would appear to help us and that we should not change our homes, our ceremonials, our hair, because the true helpers might not recognize us as the true Hopi.  So we have been waiting all these years.  It is known that our True White Brother, when he comes, will be all powerful and will wear a red cap or red cloak. He will be large in population and belong to no religion but his very own. He will bring with him the sacred stone tablets. With him there will be two great ones, both very wise and powerful.”

Hopiland, like Jerusalem, symbolizes the Heart, through which we come into the presence of the Spirit of God, waiting for Older brother, symbolizing the Word of God, as the Apostles were to wait in Jerusalem for Jesus (Acts 1:4).  The promise is the seed or word  of God, the Older Brother, who went to the east, symbolizing the spirit.  Jesus went to the east metaphorically, sitting on the right hand of God, the right hand symbolizing the power or spirit that sows the seed or word of truth in our heart.  The road in the sky has been fulfilled.  We can no longer reach the Great Spirit through the power of our mind, which the sky symbolizes.  The only way now is through the power of our heart.  The Hopi prophecies are interpreted as physical events, the gourd of ashes symbolizing the atomic bomb.  The words “atomic holocaust and 2006” were discovered in the Bible using the mathematical code, which also pertains to physical events.  Not taking place in the physical suggests a spiritual interpretation, the biblical gourd symbolizing the false peace that has settled over the people.  A peace that was suspended on September 11th 2001, the towers reduced to a pile of ashes.  The three helpers commissioned by the Great Spirit symbolize the mind, heart, and body, which through their purification brings peace— within and without!   The True White Brother will  wear a red cap or red cloak in the spiritual sense, his mind and heart influenced solely by the holy spirit. The color associated with the spirit is red.  He will belong to no religion because it is religion that has prevented the return of the two great ones, symbolized in scripture by the two witnesses, through which one becomes spiritually wise and powerful.

“One will have a symbol or sign of the swastika, which represents purity and is Female, a producer of life.  The third one or the second one of the two helpers to our True White Brother will have a sign of a symbol of the sun. He, too, will be many people and very wise and powerful.  One will have the symbol of the moja, or cross. We have in our sacred Kachina ceremonies a gourd rattle which is still in use today with these symbols of these powerful helpers of our True Brother.  It is also prophesied that, if these three fail to fulfill their mission, then the one from the west will come like a big storm.  He will be many in numbers and unmerciful. When he comes he will cover the land like the red ants and overtake this land in one day.  If the three helpers chosen by the Creator fulfill their sacred mission, and even if there are only one, two, or three of the true Hopi who remain holding fast to the last ancient teaching and instructions the Great Spirit, Massauu will appear before all, and our world will be saved.  The three will lay a new life plan which leads to everlasting life and peace. The earth will become new as it was from the beginning. Flowers will bloom again, wild game will return to barren lands, and there will be abundance of food for all. Those who are saved will share everything equally and they all will recognize Great Spirit and speak one language.”

The heart is a producer of life when it conceives of truth, which the son and the sun, symbolize.  Jesus was conceived in Mary, her virginity symbolizing the purity of the Heart. The cross of the Bible is associated with the death of truth, which has taken place in our heart. The big storm is a time of trouble, which the Prophet Daniel spoke of (12:1).  The one from the west reveals the cause of the storm, the west symbolizing the word,  man’s word, which the Prophet Jeremiah says will be his burden (23:36).  Man’s word is the sum of his false beliefs, many in numbers, and unmerciful. To prevent the storm we must fulfill the mission of the three helpers, which is the purification of our thoughts, emotions, and actions.  Jesus provides the ancient teaching and instructions through his parable of the cup and platter, through which we are saved in the spiritual sense.  A new life plan, which leads to life and peace, comes with the creation of a new earth, symbolizing a new heart, one that is free of false beliefs, as it was from the beginning.  Creation is the only way we can save our world from destruction.  Those who have obtained salvation through creation speak one language. The language of the Great Spirit, which is spiritual.  The language of God’s Word, which is symbolic.

“We are now faced with great problems, not only here but throughout the land. Ancient cultures are being annihilated. Our people’s lands are being taken from them. Why is this happening?  It is happening because many have given up or manipulated their original spiritual teachings.  The way of life which the Great Spirit has given to all people of the world, whatever your original instructions, are not being honored.  It is because of this great sickness called greed, which infects every land and country. Now we are at the very end of our trail. Many people no longer recognize the true path. of the Great Spirit.  They have, in fact, no respect for the Great Spirit or for our precious Mother Earth, who gives us all life.  We were told that someone would try to go up to the moon, that they would bring something back from the moon, and that after that nature would show signs of losing its balance.  Now we see that coming about.  All over the world, there are now many signs that nature is no longer in balance. Floods, drought, earthquakes, and great storms are occurring constantly and causing much suffering.”

The spiritual teachings of the Bible have been manipulated through the carnal-minded teachings of religion.  Literal interpretations being assigned to that which is spiritual.  As the lands are being taken from the red man, who embodies the Spirit, our ancient sacred texts have been taken away from the Spirit— from a spiritual interpretation or understanding.  The lands also symbolize the hearts of mankind, which the holy spirit is no longer in possession of, the great sickness of heart causing great problems (Jeremiah 4:18-20).  The true path was covered over with religious iniquity, the leaders of both government and religion, which rule over the people, driven by monetary and spiritual greed, which is a heart problem.  There is no respect for the Great Spirit because there is no respect for the holy spirit of the heart.  There is no respect for our precious Mother Earth, who gives life  because there is no respect for our precious spiritual Mother Earth, through which we obtain spiritual life. The moon has a direct effect upon the seas, which symbolize the thoughts of our mind.  What we bring back from a metaphorical journey to the moon is awareness of our repressed thoughts, which the gathering together of the waters or seas symbolize (Genesis 1:9,10).  The moon also has a direct effect upon our emotions, the suppressed emotions in our heart causing an imbalance in our earth, which the imbalance in nature and the earth are testifying to through floods, drought, earthquakes, and great storms, causing much suffering.

“Now we must look upon each other as brothers and sisters. There is no more time for divisions among people.  Today I call upon all of us, from right here at home, Hotevilla, where we too are guilty of gossiping and causing divisions even among our own families; out to the entire world where thievery, war, and lying go on every day. These divisions will not be our salvation.  Wars only bring more wars, never peace. Only by joining together in a Spiritual Peace with love in our hearts for one another, love in our hearts for the Great Spirit and Mother Earth, shall we be saved from the terrible Purification Day which is just ahead.  There are many of you in this world who are honest people. We pray for balance on earth to live in peace and leave a beautiful world to the children yet to come.  We know you have good hearts, but good hearts are not enough to help us with these great problems. We want the people of the world to know the truth of our situation.  This land which people call the Land of the Freedom celebrates many days reminding people of the world of these things. Yet in well over 200 years, the original Americans have not seen a free day. We are suffering the final insult. Our people are now losing the one thing which gives life and meaning to life — our ceremonial land, which is being taken away from us. Hotevilla is the last holy consecrated, undisturbed traditional Native American sacred shrine to the Creator.  As the prophecy says, this sacred shrine must keep its spiritual pathways open.  This village is the spiritual vortex for the Hopi to guide the many awakening Native Americans and other true hearts home to their own unique culture.  Where is the freedom which you all fight for and sacrifice your children for?”

As long as there are false religious beliefs there will be divisions, religion being the great divider, which is why the True White Brother will belong to no religion.  As long as there are divisions there can be no peace.  Thievery, war, and lying are spiritual acts, taking place in the heart of man every day.  Spiritual Peace will require more than love in our hearts for the Great Spirit, Mother Earth, and for one other.  It will require truth, through which we overcome the falsehood that exists in us, experiencing a spiritual Purification Day that will save us from the physical Purification Day.  What purifies the heart is truth, the essence of Love or the Great Spirit.  To reach brotherly love, the meaning of Philadelphia, we must complete the spiritual works of God’s Word (Revelation 2,3).  Many of us may be honest with respect to our outward actions.  But there is a deeper level of honesty. Many of us would never consider stealing from our brother, yet we continually rob God through carnal offerings and sacrifices (Malachi 3:8), which is why we have these great problems to begin with.  It is through spiritual worship and sacrifice that we bring balance to that spiritual earth called the heart, which will bring balance to the physical earth.  The Native American Indian or Red man embodies the Spirit of God. They were assigned caretakers of Mother Earth, as the holy spirit is caretaker of the Heart.  But like the Red man, the holy spirit of the heart has suffered the final insult, loosing possession of the heart through an unholy spirit.  Hotevilla symbolizes the Heart, the spiritual shrine or temple, the spiritual pathways of which are opened by following the spiritual instructions given to us through our ancient sacred texts and writings.  Freedom requires truth.

” you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”  The words of Jesus.

“Is it only the Indian people who have lost, or are all Americans losing the very thing which you originally came here to find?  We don’t share the freedom of the press because what gets into the papers is what the government wants people to believe, not what is really happening.  We have no freedom of speech, because we are persecuted by our own people for speaking our beliefs.  We are at the final stages now, and there is a last force that is about to take away our remaining homeland.  We are still being denied many things including the right to be Hopis and to make our living in accordance with our religious teachings.  The Hopi leaders have warned leaders in the White House and the leaders in the Glass House [the United Nations] but they do not listen. So as our prophecy says then it must be up to the people with good pure hearts that will not be afraid to help us to fulfill our destiny in peace for this world.  We now stand at a crossroad whether to lead ourselves in everlasting life or total destruction.  So many people have come to Hopiland to meet with us.  Many times people have asked how they can help us.  Now I hope and pray that your help will come.  If you have a way to spread the truth, through the newspapers, radio, books, through meeting with powerful people, tell the truth!  Tell them what you know to be true.  Tell them what you have seen here, what you have heard us say; what you have seen with your own eyes.  We, the Hopi, hold the sacred stone tablets and now await the coming of our True White Brother and others seriously ready to work for the Creator’s peace on earth.  We are not so different in the Creator’s eyes.  The same great Father Sun shines his love on each of us daily just as Mother Earth prepares the substance for our table, do they not?  We are one after all.”

Chief Dan Evehema from Hotevilla, Arizona, Hopi Sovereign Nation
Spiritual leader, Eldest Elder Greasewood/Roadrunner Clan

The world entered the spiritual era with the new millennium, where we stand at the final crossroad. Continue to worship God or the Great Spirit in a literal mountain or temple? Or worship Him in a spiritual mountain or temple? (John 4:21,23).  The White House represents the Heart, which is full of corruption. The Glass House or United Nations represent the spiritual nations we are given power over when we keep the spiritual works of the Father (Revelation 2:26). It is through these internal works that our hearts are made pure, entering a state of peace, which is the only way we can help bring about peace in our world. Even if one does not possess freedom of speech in the literal sense, he possesses freedom of speech in the spiritual sense, able to speak words of truth in his heart, which has more power to effect change than all the words spoken through the media. If our beliefs are in line with the Creator’s, there will always be persecution (Matthew 10:22). We will be persecuted for the sake of the spiritual name, which is truth, through which we are saved from the negative and destructive energy generated by our false beliefs. We have entered the final stages, entering the third and final era of Jacob, in which we are given one final opportunity to lead ourselves into everlasting life through spiritual works, or lead ourselves into total destruction through spiritual disobedience. The True Red Brother and the True White Brother will hold [to] the same spiritual stone tablets, which contain the spiritual laws of the Creator, written upon the heart through spiritual obedience.

9/11 DECODED

Audio Version

Twin TowersThe following is a revelation I received over three days following the event. The two towers symbolize the two witnesses in the book of Revelation: “And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city.”  The great city, in the literal sense, is New York City.  In the early morning of September 12th 2001, I heard upon waking: “This is the opening of the sixth seal.” 

“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal… there was a great earthquake.”  Revelation 6:12.  It was a great metaphorical earthquake that took place on September 11th, 2001.  Its purpose?  To bring down the wall of false peace that is governing the mind of man.  The first in a series of catastrophic events.  At 8:46 am, a commercial jet was hijacked and flown into one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Eighteen minutes later, another commercial jet was hijacked and flown into the second tower. Soon after that, another hijacked jet would be flown into the Pentagon, and at 10 am, a fourth hijacked jet crashed before hitting its target, the Capital, the Heart of our great nation. Thank God this was not accomplished.  In this is our hope!

The North Tower symbolizes the Spirit of God.
The South Tower symbolizes the Word of God.
The Pentagon symbolizes Protection.
The Capital symbolizes the Heart.

The external enemy that brought down the two towers was a radical lunatic fringe, those of the Arab nation, descendants of Ishmael, son of the bondmaid, symbolizing bondage. “For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by the bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.” Galatians 4:22.  But what continues to give power to these external enemies are the internal enemies of the mind. Two spiritual enemies, represented in two physical enemies: Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.  It was a foreign physical nation that terrorized our nation on September 11th, the manifestation of a negative and destructive spiritual nation ruling the mind of man; a terror hidden deep within, keeping us in the bondage; keeping us from being completely free.  “For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.” Galatians 4:25.  Jerusalem is referred to as the Mother, exemplifying protection.  But it is important to note that Abraham had two sons by two mothers: Sarah the freewoman and Hagar the bondwoman.  The physical Jerusalem is far from freedom and peace.  She is in bondage, revealing the spiritual bondage of that spiritual Jerusalem called the Heart.  This internal bondage is revealed through Rachel’s bondmaid, Bilhah, which means terror, the external terrorism generated by the terror or fear existing deep within; so deep within the psyche that most of us are still unaware of its existence.  Hagar is mount Sinai, where the children of Israel erected the gold calf, symbolizing the false images or beliefs that cause man to remain in spiritual bondage. These false beliefs are sin, the wages of sin, death, September 11th resulting in 2,997 deaths.

The two towers symbolize the Spirit and Word of God.  But man has chosen to follow his own spirit and word, giving power to their negative and destructive energies, manifesting in the physical through destructive events, wars, and catastrophic events that are increasing in size, intensity, and frequency.  These destructive events are not God’s doing.  They are man’s doing, as spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, “man’s word shall be his burden,” man’s word being the sum of his false beliefs.  It is time to take responsibility for what we are bringing upon ourselves through the power of our own word; through the negative and destructive power of our many false religious and personal beliefs.  Ishmael and Isaac, two brothers, existing without in the nation of Israel, as well as within.  The ongoing physical battle between the Israelis (descendants of Isaac) and the Palestinians (descendants of Ishmael) is a manifestation of the ongoing spiritual battle taking place within us, as was spoken by James, the brother of Jesus: “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come thy not hence, even of the lusts that war in your members?”  James 4:1. Our members are our own mind and heart.  If we don’t get on with battling the enemy within, there will be more and more laws added without, until we are left with no freedom at all.  The real enemy lies hidden within, and as long as it remains hidden, the battle against evil can never be won, its negative and destructive energy continuing to bring death, destruction, sorrow, pain, and suffering.

The nation of Israel continues to fight for peace.  But there will be no peace in Jerusalem until there is peace in the Heart of man; a peace that comes through the purification of the Heart.  “To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord…” Ezekiel 13:16.  September 11th, 2001 was only the first in a series of calamities that will bring down the wall of false peace that keeps mankind from entering into his own heart. “So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the ground, so the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall…” Ezekiel 13:14.  The word Jerusalem means founded peaceful.  Will mankind continue to choose the bondage of false peace over the freedom of authentic peace?  What remains of the wall in Jerusalem is called the Wailing Wall, and on 911, a desperate cry for help rang out!  Ishmael, son of the bondwoman, means God will hear.  This is the first covenant, which begins to be fulfilled within when we cry out from our heart in our personal time of trouble to be delivered from our spiritual bondage, the source of our many physical bondages or addictions.  This cry is the beginning of our journey from bondage to freedom; the beginning of our spiritual birth.  “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered… ”  Daniel 12:1

EAST & WEST

/ Sandra L. Butler / 1 Comment

Audio Version

cyclopes-statue-stone

The Holy Bible contains all the spiritual knowledge we need for the salvation or healing of our soul, combining ancient practices of the east with the ancient instruction found in the Sacred Text of the west.  “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD…”  Exodus 14:13. The word still means quiet self, be silent, keep (put to) silence.   “And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”  Revelation 8:1. Silence in heaven is the key to opening the seventh seal.  Heaven symbolizes the mind. The seventh seal is the seventh chakra.

“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”  Revelation 1:7. If this were about the physical eyes, it would be plural, not singular. This is about “the third eye,” the spiritual eye, through which we gain insight pertaining to the things we cannot see. The verse is clearly about Jesus, symbolizing truth, which “cometh with clouds;” coming with or through the thoughts of that spiritual heaven called the mind. Truth comes to us through our mind by way of the Spirit.  East and west, Spirit and word. The Spirit is the power that delivers the word of truth, first to our mind, and then to our heart if we don’t resist it. “For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matthew 24:27. The “lightning” and the “Son of man” share the same symbolic meaning, which is “truth.”  Jesus was called the Son of man, the son symbolizing the seed or word of truth through which man is spiritually healed.

The East is associated with the Spirit and the Mind. The Spirit works through mind-body disciplines or practices such as yoga to bring calmness to the mind, and wellness to the body. During the practice, one is encouraged to “trust the breath,” the breath symbolizing the spirit. When the children of Israel journeyed through the wilderness, they were to trust Moses, symbolizing the Spirit of God.  But they resisted, forfeiting what comes with the holy spirit working through the mind, which is tranquility.  In stark contrast, is the anxiety that is possessing the minds of so many, the cause of panic attacks.  So many on anti-anxiety and anti-depression drugs. Clearly, man is resisting the holy spirit, whose deepest purpose is to bring us into the truth regarding the source of this anxiety and depression. “Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do aways resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.” Acts 7:51.  In the eastern practice of yoga, one is often led to put his hands to the third or inner eye, which is associated with higher consciousness or spiritual sight— the meaning behind the mythological Cyclops. Another example of the spirit working at a mind-level is the eastern practice of Reiki, performed through a technique similar to the laying on of hands for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental disease.  It’s when we combine the ancient practices of the east with the ancient instruction found in the Sacred Text of the west, that we activate the ultimate healing power called christ.  When meditation is done according to the ancient instruction of the Holy Bible, the 7th chakra is opened, through which the deepest level of the soul is healed. The Spirit, activated or manipulated through ancient practices of the east, while evoking a response that can heal mind and body, cannot, by itself, heal the sub-conscious, which is the heart— the deepest and most important aspect of the soul.  To heal the heart requires us to follow the ancient instruction of the Sacred Text of the west.

“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”  Matthew 19:28.  The word regeneration means the act or process of re-forming.  As Spirit and word formed the physical heaven and earth, spirit and word are needed to form our new spiritual heaven and earth.  The word is the works of creation.  Those that are in the process of the regeneration are metaphorically sitting upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel, which are the works that bring their new creation into existence, “a new heaven and a new earth” symbolizing a new mind and a new heart. (Revelation 21:1). Judgment is symbolized in scripture by fire.  “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.”  Revelation 3:18

Perhaps you have heard new age teachers talking about the “violet flame,” their understanding of which will be limited to the source through which they received it— through the Spirit, which makes it an incomplete truth. To receive complete truth on these spiritual matters will require us to incorporate the Word. The gold tried in the fire symbolizes the purity that comes through the judgment.  A “flame” is part of the fire.  The seven colors associated with the twelve tribes of Israel or twelve sons of Jacob are the seven colors of the rainbow.  And what do we find at the end of the rainbow— upon the conclusion of our spiritual judgment? Gold. Purity. The color “violet” is associated with Naphtali, a son by Rachel’s bondmaid, symbolizing bondage.  This is the point in the trans-formation process where we go from seeing the bondage of our mind to seeing the bondage of our heart.  This is where we make the transition from the kingdom of heaven, symbolizing the realm of the mind to the kingdom of God, symbolizing the realm of the Heart; the throne of that healing power called christ. Krishna or Christ, east or west, the meaning is the same: the source of all existence.

It is time to incorporate the Word, which provides us with the ancient instruction through which we are made holy. It is time to bring a deeper meaning to the many religious ceremonies and celebrations through the Word.  Let’s look at the eastern festival called Holi, also known as the “Festival of Love,” the “Festival of Colors,” or the “Festival of Spring.”  It celebrates the eternal and divine love of Krishna, and signifies the triumph of good over the evil.  The east is associated with the Spirit of God, which is Love.  The west is associated with the Word of God, the Holy Bible containing the the spiritual works through which we reach Love, which is why Jesus said, “believe the works,”  the word believe meaning “to obey or put action to.”   And why Jesus, the truth personified, said, “no man cometh unto the Father, but by me,”  which is to say, no man comes to Love, except by truth, which being the word of God, is the spiritual works or instruction through which we are made holy, triumphing over evil.

East and West.  Spirit and Word.  Love and Truth, through which we are healed on a soul-level.

The Holy Bible’s Ancient Instruction on Meditation

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.”  Revelation 8:1  

The seventh seal or seventh chakra connects us to the divinity within, to our divine source; our holy spirit, a positive spiritual energy, a connection that requires silence in heaven; quiet in the mind.  Set aside half an hour each day to be still in mind and body. “And the earth was without form, and void…  Set aside all incantations, mantras, or repetitious prayers, which are extraneous attachments to belief, creating the void that is needed for the new creation to begin. “and darkness was upon the face of the deep. This means nothingness in the mind. No visualizations, no gazing at crystals, no making of sounds. Listen only to the primordial sound of your breath, the physical manifestation of the holy spirit. “ And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”   Genesis 1:2

“When we quiet our mind, we abase its power; the power of the mind giving way to the power or holy spirit of the heart, which void of all extraneous attachments, is free to move upon the waters, influencing the thoughts of our mind.  It takes time to quiet the mind, to turn off the everyday thoughts, so be patient, “But let patience have her perfect work” James 1:4, that perfect work being a complete transformation. When the ego-driven thoughts of the mind are restrained, the holy spirit of the heart is free to move the subconscious thoughts into the light; into the awareness of the conscious mind.”  (excerpt from THE LITTLE BOOK FOR THE SOUL: an ancient healing process)

WHO ARE WE REALLY?

evolution_creation

Who are we really? What is our origin? Did we evolve from Apes? Or are we the descendants of Adam and Eve? Evolution or Creation? Through revelatory knowledge from 1960 we open the door to discovering that our origin lies somewhere in-between.  “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:…” Genesis 1:26. This is not the creation of Adam, as the Church teaches, placing Adam among the living beings of the sixth day, varying in beastly appearance, including human-like kind, each going through an evolutionary process until it matched the image in God’s Mind. Genesis 1:26 is the idea of Adam, as Genesis 1:1 is the idea of heaven and earth. Nothing has been formed yet, as we see in verse 2. There were two creations. The sixth day creation, the number six pertaining to the physical. And the seventh day creation, the number seven pertaining to the spiritual.  Adam and Eve were made in the seventh day, in the image of God, spiritual beings existing in a spiritual realm, having spiritual abilities and godly intelligence, passed down through the DNA of Cain and Abel. The coats of skins they received were not animal skins, but physical flesh bodies, grounding them to the physical realm, which prior to their fall they enjoyed and interacted with through a glorified body, Eve’s part of the “them” called Adam. “Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam.” Genesis 5:2. After Cain slew Abel, he went to the land of Nod, where he took a wife. So who are we? We are the descendants of Cain and his wife, who I suspect was the highest development of the human-like kind of the sixth day, which is why we carry Neanderthal DNA. The creation of heaven and earth took six days according to Genesis. And according to Peter, a day is equal to a thousand years, which is why the Church teaches that God’s Creation was formed over a period of six thousand years. The 6 days have to do with our spiritual creation. A day is 24 hours. 5 days equates to 5 x 24, which equals 120, the age at which Moses, representing the Law, and the flesh, referring to our sinful spiritual flesh, dies. 6 days equates to 6 x 24, which equals 144, a spiritual measure through which one enters a spiritual wall of protection. The six thousand years has to do with what took place at the beginning of these millenniums. What took place in the beginning of the 3rd thousandth year was the foreshadowing of what took place in the beginning of the 5th thousandth year. That is when we were given the spiritual instructions for returning to a pure spiritual state of being through six metaphorical days of spiritual or internal works; through the creation or formation of “a new heaven and a new earth,” symbolizing “a new mind and a new heart.” We are now in the seventh day; in the beginning of the seventh-thousandth year since the fall, symbolizing the spiritual decline of mankind. As Adam was formed in the seventh day, we too can be formed, or should I say reformed, becoming the last Adam, returning to our spiritual origin, back to who we really are.
