“Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”
The Gnostic Apostle Thomas:
Jesus says: The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds.
(2) And when he finds, he will be dismayed.
(3) And when he is dismayed, he will be astonished.
(4) And he will be king over the All.”
(1) Jesus says, “If those who lead you say to you: ‘Look, the kingdom is in the sky!’ then the birds of the sky will precede you.
(2) If they say to you: ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fishes will precede you.
(3) Rather, the kingdom is inside of you and outside of you.”
(4) “When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will realize that you are the children of the living Father.
(5) But if you do not come to know yourselves, then you exist in poverty, and you are poverty.”
Jesus says, (1) “Come to know what is in front of you, and that which is hidden from you will become clear to you.
(2) For there is nothing hidden that will not become manifest.”
Chapter 22: “When you make the two into one, when you make the inner the outer, and the upper as the lower, and when you make the male and female into a single One, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female… then you will enter the kingdom.”
The so-called Gospel of Philip (one of the Gnostic, probably Valentinian, texts found at Nag Hammadi) says that light and darkness, life and death, right and left, “are brothers of one another, they are inseparable.”
In the apocryphal Acts of Peter , to explain why he is being crucified upside down, Peter says: “Concerning this the Lord says in a mystery, ‘Unless you make on the right hand as what is on the left and what is on the left hand as what is on the right and what is above as what is below and what is behind as what is before you will not have knowledge of the kingdom.’
1 Corinthians 3:16-1 – “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”
1 Corinthians 6:19 – “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own;”
2 Corinthians 6:16 – “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
John 2: 18-22 – 18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 19 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 this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spoke of the temple of his body. 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 said.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What Human would choose a god contained within walls of stones, over the One, Living God who surrounds us and is within us. The One who is tender and loving toward the Human, when they unite the One and the Holy Spirit within the temples of themselves. The Human has but one task in Life and it is this; to remember who they are and to make the Living God manifest within them.
Jesus, if he comes, will not return to a temple in Jerusalem; instead he will return to the temple that is within you, as he so preached; to those who have ears to hear.
When the kingdom of The One is revealed, it will not be in a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem; the kingdom of God, the One, will be revealed in the hearts of those who have united all things as One within themselves.
Fellow Humans; you are the very temple of God and when the Christ came, this is the gospel he proclaimed. Your minds and hearts are trapped by materialism, and the Spirit of God is far from you; this is why you say that a physical temple will be rebuilt in Israel, so God can descend into the Holy of Holies there.
How can a God which is All, which contains all of the created order within him|herself, reside in a physical temple built by men? Why do you think that the evil ones who preach this false doctrine, are seeking to destroy the Human; are seeking to destroy God within the Human. They want to destroy the One and replace him|her with a false god within a physical temple. You are the Temple of God!
Do not be deceived.
God is not a material being; he|she is spiritual, he|she is All. How will you conscribe the Living God in a physical building. You are totally deceived and lead astray by evil ones.
Has your heart not digested the words of Christ that he spoke to you. You are the Temple of God and there is no longer a need for another!
Praise god! How glorious is this message to the Human. God has declared that you O Human have been found worthy to contain God within you!
This is the “Good News” that Christ preached. Were you not listening? Did your ears not hear? Did you miss the greatest message of hope and inclusion ever preached to the world?
“For God so loved the world…” The whole world and he|she has agreed to come and live within you, within the temple of god within those who have let the Spirit of God descend within them.
When the Holy Spirit descends within, you are containing an astounding, power of love and light. In essence the Holy Spirit is the divine feminine and that is what descends into you, into the Holy of Holies within you. Your spiritual mother falls upon you and she holds you and passionately defends you.
And then by a mystery the divine feminine, the Holy Spirit unites with the One, which has been within you from the beginning. As they unite within you, within the Temple that you are, their power forms by their united being within you. And this power is freely given to you; so long as you are united and in alignment with the One who now dwells within you!
This is the whole power of the gospel message and you are trading it for worthless ideas of deluded minds.
Have you not listened, have you not heard the glorious message of our becoming. In a world dominated by materialism and the intellect, faith has been slaughtered. Verily, I tell you that faith is the hope of all things and the power of healing that will descend within you with the coming of the Devine Feminine within you.
So in the Holy of Holies, within you, God unites as One; All aspects of God become One within you.
Are you not thankful? Are you not grateful… This is the Good News.
But this beautiful merging of right and left, feminine and masculine, and the upper as the lower, you have created the Kingdom of God within you. Glorify God, the One, because she|he is good to those who submit to their kind hands. They will bring blessing to you and your family. They will bring blessing to the whole world. Cast off the chains of materialism and open your heart to the Spiritual Beauty of the One.
The left side of the brain controls the right hand and the left side of the brain controls the right hand. The left hand is considered the feminine hand because the right side of the brain is also considered feminine, and the left side of the brain is considered masculine and so to is the right hand. I am totally right brained dominant as are many in my family. Right brained people see and experience the world and take their intellectual cues in a different way than left brained Humans. The majority of people are left brain dominant.
Before we incarnated into a body our souls contained both female and male elements. These are separated in our incarnation and because of this we are always seeking to reunite with our missing part.
I am totally right brained and I ask your forgiveness, because it means that I have little regard for rules or methods, or mathematical formulas, and it is the main reason I can’t spell! Well, I can spell, but my mind is so intent on formulating an idea, that spelling seems superfluous.
“The brain’s left half is primarily responsible for speech and abstract thinking. It also controls the right side of the body. The right side of the brain is responsible for image processing, spatial thinking, and movement in the left side of the body.”
The left brain is dominated by parts to whole, analytical thinking; it is logical, detail and fact oriented, numerical, likely to think in words. By contrast right brained people are creative, free-thinking, see and learn from the whole to the parts, they are intuitive, and are likely to visualize with images rather than words. Right brained people are able to synthesize huge amounts of information. They think as a tapestry. In contrast left brain dominant individuals think in a linear fashion, adding one piece to another to form a coherent whole. The right side is considered feminine and the left side is considered masculine in outlook.
The Christ taught us to unite the feminine and masculine in the temple within our hearts so that the Kingdom of God might descend within the reunited spirit of the Human.
And when you do this, you have recaptured your essential being. You again become illumined as you were before your descent into the material world. Is not the One good, and worthy of our love and praise?
You are a beloved child!
Matthew 12: 22-32 — “Knowing their thoughts (of the Jews), he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.”
The Holy Spirit is the Devine Feminine and she will be defended always and forever by the One, in the same way that the Human defends their wives and daughters.
All of you who are united within the power and glory of the One, must defend the Spirit of God that is a living testament to the love of God within you.
You, my fellow Human, are living through an incredible transformation of yourselves as you walk within the crucible of fire that is descending upon the earth. The Human will be transformed by the power and presence of the One, when they are fully formed within you.
Call out to the Humans who are lost and decieved that they may receive the light and love of God within themselves; so that the Kingdom of God will at last descend fully formed within every Human.
Amen

The Gospel of Thomas
(1) “Many times have you desired to hear these words, these that I am speaking to you, and you have no one else from whom to hear them.
(2) There will be days when you will seek me (and) you will not find me.”
(39) Jesus says:
(1) “The Pharisees and the scribes have received the keys of knowledge, (but) they have hidden them.
(2) Neither have they entered, nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to.
(3) You, however, be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves!”
(40) Jesus says:
(1) “A grapevine was planted outside (the vineyard) of the Father.
(2) And since it is not supported, it will be pulled up by its roots (and) will perish.”
(41) Jesus says:
(1) “Whoever has (something) in his hand, (something more) will be given to him.
(2) And whoever has nothing, even the little he has will be taken from him.”
(42) Jesus says:
“Become passers-by.”
(43) (1) His disciples said to him: “Who are you to say this to us?”
(2) “Do you not realized from what I say to you who I am?
(3) But you have become like the Jews! They love the tree, (but) they hate its fruit. Or they love the fruit, (but) they hate the tree.”
(44) Jesus says:
(1) “Whoever blasphemes against the Father, it will be forgiven him.
(2) And whoever blasphemes against the Son, it will be forgiven him.
(3) But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither on earth nor in heaven.”
(45) Jesus says:
(1) “Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs picked from thistles, for they do not produce fruit.
(2) A good person brings forth good from his treasure.
(3) A bad person brings (forth) evil from the bad treasure that is in his heart, and (in fact) he speaks evil.
(4) For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil.”
Church Fathers Discourse on the Temple is Jerusalem
150AD Justin Martyr (On the Significance of A.D.70) CHAP. XLVII.–Desolation Of Judaea Foretold. That the land of the Jews, then, was to be laid waste, hear what was said by the Spirit of prophecy. And the words were spoken as if from the person of the people wondering at what had happened. They are these: “Sion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. The house of our sanctuary has become a curse, and the glory which our fathers blessed is burned up with fire, and all its glorious things are laid waste: and Thou refrainest Thyself at these things, and hast held Thy peace, and hast humbled us very sore.”(6) And ye are convinced that Jerusalem has been laid waste, as was predicted. And concerning its desolation, and that no one should be permitted to inhabit it, there was the following prophecy by Isaiah: “Their land is desolate, their enemies consume it before them, and none of them shall dwell therein.”(7) And that it is guarded by you lest any one dwell in it, and that death is decreed against a Jew apprehended entering it, you know very well.(8)
This what the Apostle Barnabas says about the temple of god:
Barnabas 16:1
Moreover I will tell you likewise concerning the temple, how these
wretched men being led astray set their hope on the building, and not
on their God that made them, as being a house of God.
Barnabas 16:2
For like the Gentiles almost they consecrated Him in the temple. But
what saith the Lord abolishing the temple? Learn ye. Who hath
measured the heaven with a span, or hath measured the earth with
his hand? Have not I, saith the Lord? The heaven is My throne and
the earth the footstool of My feet. What manner of house will ye
build for Me? Or what shall be my resting place? Ye perceive that
their hope is vain.
Barnabas 16:3
Furthermore He saith again; Behold they that pulled down this
temple themselves shall build it.
Barnabas 16:4
So it cometh to pass; for because they went to war it was pulled down
by their enemies. Now also the very servants of their enemies shall
build it up.
Barnabas 16:5
Again, it was revealed how the city and the temple and the people of
Israel should be betrayed. For the scripture saith; And it shall be
in the last days, that the Lord shall deliver up the sheep of the
pasture and the fold and the tower thereof to destruction. And it
came to pass as the Lord spake.
Barnabas 16:6
But let us enquire whether there be any temple of God. There is; in
the place where he himself undertakes to make and finish it. For it
is written And it shall come to pass, when the week is being
accomplished, the temple of God shall be built gloriously in the
name of the Lord.
Barnabas 16:7
I find then that there is a temple, How then shall it be built in
the name of the Lord? Understand ye. Before we believed on God, the
abode of our heart was corrupt and weak, a temple truly built by
hands; for it was full of idolatry and was a house of demons, because
we did whatsoever was contrary to God.
Barnabas 16:8
But it shall be built in the name of the Lord. Give heed then that
the temple of the Lord may be built gloriously.
Barnabas 16:9
How? Understand ye. By receiving the remission of our sins and
hoping on the Name we became new, created afresh from the beginning.
Wherefore God dwelleth truly in our habitation within us. How? The
word of his faith, the calling of his promise, the wisdom of the
ordinances, the commandments of the teaching, He Himself prophesying
in us, He Himself dwelling in us, opening for us who had been in
bondage unto death the door of the temple, which is the mouth, and
giving us repentance leadeth us to the incorruptible temple.
Barnabas 16:10
For he that desireth to be saved looketh not to the man, but to Him
that dwelleth and speaketh in him, being amazed at this that he has
never at any time heard these words from the mouth of the speaker,
nor himself ever desired to hear them. This is the spiritual temple
built up to the Lord.
419AD: Augustine (On Matthew 24:15) “Luke to show that the abomination spoken of by Daniel will take place when Jerusalem is captured, recalls these words of the Lord in the same context: When you shall see Jerusalem compassed about with an army, then know that the desolation thereof is at hand (xxi. 20). For Luke very clearly bears witness that the prophecy of Daniel was fulfilled when Jerusalem was overthrown.” (vol. 6, p. 170)
345AD: Athanasius “So the Jews are indulging in fiction, and transferring present time to future. When did prophet and vision cease from Israel? Was it not when Christ came, the Holy One of holies? It is, in fact, a sign and notable proof of the coming of the Word that Jerusalem no longer stands, neither is prophet raised up nor vision revealed among them. And it is natural that it should be so, for when He that was signified had come, what need was there any longer of any to signify Him? And when the Truth had come, what further need was there of the shadow? On His account only they prophesied continually, until such time as Essential Righteousness has come, Who was made the Ransom for the sins of all. For the same reason Jerusalem stood until the same time, in order that there men might premeditate the types before the Truth was known. So, of course, once the Holy One of holies had come, both vision and prophecy were sealed. And the kingdom of Jerusalem ceased at the same time, because kings were to be anointed among them only until the Holy of holies had been anointed. Moses also prophesies that the kingdom of the Jews shall stand until His time, saying, “A ruler shall not fail from Judah nor a prince from his loins, until the things laid up for him shall come and the Expectation of the nations Himself.” And that is why the Savior Himself was always proclaiming “The law and the prophets prophesied until John.” So if there is still king or prophet or vision among the Jews, they do well to deny that Christ is come; but if there is neither king nor vision, and since that time all prophecy has been sealed and city and temple taken, how can they be so irreligious, how can they so flaunt the facts, as to deny Christ Who has brought it all about?.. What more is there for their Expected One to do when he comes? To call the heathen? But they are called already. To put an end to prophet and king and vision? But this too has already happened. To expose the God-denyingness of idols? It is already exposed and condemned. Or to destroy death? It is already destroyed. What then has not come to pass that the Christ must do? What is there left out or unfulfilled that the Jews should disbelieve so light-heartedly? The plain fact is, as I say, that there is no longer any king or prophet nor Jerusalem nor sacrifice nor vision among them; yet the whole earth is filled with the knowledge of God, and the Gentiles, forsaking atheism, are now taking refuge with the God of Abraham through the Word, our Lord Jesus Christ. (Incarnation, Ch. VI )
325AD Eusebius Pamphilius, Ecclesiastical History: (On the ‘Millennial Reign’ of Christ) “This same historian (Papias) also gives other accounts, which he says he adds as received by him from unwritten tradition, likewise certain strange parables of our Lord, and of His doctrine and some other matters rather too fabulous. In these he says there would be a certain millennium after the resurrection, and that there would be a corporeal reign of Christ on this very earth; which things he appears to have imagined, as if they were authorized by the apostolic narrations, not understanding correctly those matters which they propounded mystically in their representations. For he was very limited in his comprehension, as is evident from his discourses; yet he was the cause why most of the ecclesiastical writers, urging the antiquity of man, were carried away by a similar opinion; as, for instance, Irenaeus, or any other that adopted such sentiments. (Book III, Ch. 39)
250AD Lactantius “But He also opened to them all things which were about to happen, which Peter and Paul preached at Rome; and this preaching being written for the sake of remembrance, became permanent, in which they both declared other wonderful things, and also said that it was about to come to pass, that after a short time God would send against them a king who would subdue the Jews, and level their cities to the ground, and besiege the people themselves, worn out with hunger and thirst. Then it should come to pass that they should feed on the bodies of their own children, and consume one another. Lastly, that they should be taken captive, and come into the hands of their enemies, and should see their wives most cruelly harassed before their eyes, their virgins ravished and polluted, their sons torn in pieces, their little ones dashed to the ground; and lastly, everything laid waste with fire and sword, the captives banished for ever from their own lands, because they had exulted over the well-beloved and most approved Son of God. And so, after their decease, when Nero had put them to death, Vespasian destroyed the name and nation of the Jews, and did all things which they had foretold as about to come to pass.” (Lactantius: Divine Institutes, Book Iv)
250AD Lactantius “And the prophets had predicted that all these things would thus come to pass. Isaiah thus speaks: “I am not rebellious, nor do I oppose: I gave my back to the scourge, and my cheeks to the hand: I turned not away my face from the foulness of spitting.” The same prophet says respecting His silence: “I was brought as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth.” David also, in the xxxivth Psalm: “The abjects were gathered together against me, and they knew me not: they were scattered, yet felt no remorse: they tempted me, and gnashed upon me with their teeth.” The same also says respecting food and drink in the lxviiith Psalm: “They gave me also gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.” Also respecting the cross of Christ: “And they pierced my hands and my feet, they numbered all my bones: they themselves have looked and stared upon me; they parted my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.” Moses also says in Deuteronomy: ” And thy life shall hang in doubt before thine eyes, and thou shall fear day and night, and shall have none assurance of thy life.” Also in Numbers: “God is not in doubt as a man, nor does He suffer threats as the son of man.” Also Zechariah says: “And they shall look on me whom they pierced.” Amos thus speaks of the obscuring of the sun: “In that day, saith the Lord, the sun shall go down at noon, and the clear day shall be dark; and I will turn your feasts into mourning, and your songs into lamentation.” Jeremiah also speaks of the city of Jerusalem, in which He suffered: “Her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she hath been confounded and reviled, and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword.” Nor were these things spoken in vain. For after a short time the Emperor Vespasian subdued the Jews, and laid waste their lands with the sword and fire, besieged and reduced them by famine, overthrew Jerusalem, led the captives in triumph, and prohibited the others who were left from ever returning to their native land. And these things were done by God on account of that crucifixion of Christ, as He before declared this to Solomon in their Scriptures, saying, “And Israel shall be for perdition and a reproach to the people, and this house shall be desolate; and every one that shall pass by shall be astonished, and shall say, Why hath God done these evils to this land, and to this house? And they shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, and persecuted their. King, who was dearly beloved by God, and crucified Him with great degradation, therefore hath God brought upon them these evils.” For what would they not deserve who put to death their Lord, who had come for their salvation? (Lactantius: EPITOME OF THE DIVINE INSTITUTES, Ch. 46)
