(The brightness of our
revelations depend upon the correctness of our doctrines (our building
blocks)
(God is Thought, God is a Spirit)
(John
14:1-4)
Let not your heart be troubled [Gk:
stirred up or agitated]:
ye believe in God, believe also in me [Jesus
Christ]. In my Father's house are many
mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to
prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will
come again [1], and receive you
unto myself; that where
I am, there ye may be also.
And whither [Gk: where] I go ye know, and
the way ye know.
1.
Commentary:
“I will come again” here refers to the
rapture (1 Thes 4:16,17) wherein we go up to Him,
as contrasted
to the later second coming (Rev
19:11-21) of the Lord wherein we come
down with Him.
(John
14:5-7)
Thomas [nick-named
Doubting Thomas] saith unto him,
Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the
way? Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way [Gk:
road: highway] [to Heaven], the
truth, and the life [life
eternal with God versus death eternal without God, i.e., separation
from love]: no man cometh unto the Father [i.e., goes to Heaven], but by me. If
ye had known me,
ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye
know him [(for I am telling you now)],
and have seen him [(in me)].
(John
14:8-14)
Philip [Gk: fond of
horses] saith unto him, Lord, shew
us the Father, and it sufficeth [Gk: (will)
satisfy] us. Jesus saith unto him,
Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not
known me,
Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how
sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest
thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the
words [Gk: the rhema] that I [the logos: John 1:14] speak unto you I
speak not of myself:
but the Father [the rhema] that
dwelleth in me [in the logos], he [the Father] doeth the works [Gk: deeds, acts] [including miracles of
healings, signs, wonders, and mighty acts of power]. Believe
me that I am
in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the
very
works' sake. Verily [truth], verily [truth], I say unto you, He
that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and
greater works than these shall he do [1];
because I go unto my Father [and
then the Holy Ghost (Spirit) will be sent unto you].
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that
the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my
name, I
will do it.

(John
7:37-39) In the last day, that
great day of the
feast [“the feast of tabernacles”
(this phrase 10x, is always plural indicating one “tabernacle” for each
person)],
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me,
and
drink. He that believeth on me, as
the scripture hath said, out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that
believe on him should [Gk: (are) about to] receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus
was not yet glorified [i.e., risen
“unto my Father”].)
a.
tabernacle
= Heb: a hut or
lair /// a hut (as of entwined
boughs); also a lair: den.
b.
lair
= Dict: a bed or
resting place of a wild animal; den.
c.
Commentary:
a tabernacle is a shepherd’s hut, or a wild animal’s lair or den. In
application, a tabernacle is
a grave containing “the ark of covenant.” “
(John
14:15-21) If ye love me
[i.e., believe me], keep
my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter [in addition to myself]
[1], that he may abide [Gk: dwell] with you for ever; Even
the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive [versus lies (so very true)], because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you
[now, in me], and shall be in
you. (John 14:18-21) I
will not leave you comfortless: I
will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
but ye
see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day
[of my Second Coming] ye shall know
that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and
I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,
he it is
that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved
of my
Father, and I will love him, and will manifest [Gk: to exhibit (in person) or disclose (by
words): appear, declare (plainly)] myself
to him [1].

(Rom
8:16-19) The
Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children
of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him,
that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are
not worthy to be
compared with the glory [indescribably
brilliant light (illumination
in all senses)] which shall be
revealed [Gk: to take off the
cover, disclosed] in us [2
Thes 1:7,10,12] [“in like manner” (Acts
1:11) as the baby Jesus was revealed in Mary]. For the earnest
expectation
of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the
sons [Gk: huios;
(matured, ripened) sons] of God.
(John
14:22-24) Judas [an apostle, brother of James and half-brother to Jesus] saith unto him, not Iscariot [i.e.,
not the traitor Judas], Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest
thyself unto us, and not unto the world [Gk:
kosmos; “cosmos” (universe)]? Jesus answered and said
unto him, If a man love me, he will keep [Gk:
watch; guard from loss or injury: hold
fast, preserve] my words: and
my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make
our abode
with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:
and the
word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
(John
14:25-28) These things have I
spoken unto you, being
yet present with you. But
the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I
[who am the Bible (John 1:14)] have
said unto you [i.e., READ the whole Bible]. Peace I leave with you, my
peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth [through
fear], give I unto
you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Ye have
heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again
unto you. If ye loved me [i.e., believed me], ye would rejoice [as
we should do at saved person’s funerals], because I
said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater
than I.
(John
14:29-31) And now I have told
you before it come to
pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Hereafter I will
not talk much with you: for the prince [Gk:
first in rank or power: chief ruler] of this world
[i.e.,
Satan] cometh, and hath nothing
in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as
the
Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

(2
Cor 4:1-4) Therefore
seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy [Gk: divine compassion], we
faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,
not walking in craftiness,
nor handling the word of God deceitfully;
but by manifestation of the truth
commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But
if our
gospel be hid, it is hid to them that
are lost: In whom the god of this
world [i.e., Satan] hath blinded
the minds [Gk: thoughts (fallen angels)] of them which believe not, lest the
light [Gk: illumination] of the
glorious [indescribably brilliant light (illumination
in all senses)] gospel of Christ, who is the image of
God,
should shine [Gk: beam forth ///
radiate] unto them.
Amen
