Cartea Apocalipsei este ultima carte în canonul Noului Testament şi singura carte biblică aparţinând în întregime literaturii apocaliptice (cu excepţia 2 Ezdra, canonică pentru Biserica Ortodoxă Rusă şi Biserica Ortodoxă Etiopiană). Cf. Apoc. 1.9, autorul este de obicei denumit Ioan Teologul (uneori în mod controversat identificat cu Apostolul Ioan şi/sau Ioan Prezbiterul), iar locul scrierii luat ca fiind Insula Patmos din Marea Egee. Contextul scrierii pare a fi unul de persecutare a creştinilor, drept pentru care data scrierii este plasată fie ca 95-95 e.n., în timpul domniei lui Domiţian, fie ca 64-69 e.n., în timpul sau imediat după domnia lui Nero. Mesajul cărţii priveşte triumful escatologic al lui Isus Cristos asupra duşmanilor săi şi ai Bisericii sale.

Sărmanii soldaţi ai lui Cristos şi ai Templului lui Solomon (latină Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici), cunoscuţi mai ales sub numele de templieri sau Ordinul Templului (franceză Ordre du Temple sau Templiers), au fost unul dintre cele mai cunoscute ordine militare creştine.[1]

Ordinul a existat timp de aproximativ două secole în Evul Mediu. A fost creat în urma primei cruciade din 1096, pentru a asigura călătoria în siguranţă a numeroşilor pelerini europeni către Ierusalim.

Recunoscut oficial de biserică în 1129, Ordinul a crescut repede ca număr de membri şi putere. Cavalerii templieri puteau fi recunoscuţi după hainele albe cu o cruce roşie, distinctivă, şi erau printre cei mai bine echipaţi, antrenaţi şi disciplinaţi războinici din perioada cruciadelor.[2]Membrii Ordinului care nu erau războinici au creat o puternică infrastructură economică în întreaga creştinătate, introducând pentru prima oară proceduri financiare care au reprezentat începutul sistemului bancar,[3] şi au construit numeroase fortificaţii în Europa şi Ţara Sfântă.

Succesul templierilor era strâns legat de succesul cruciadelor. Când Ţara Sfântă a fost pierdută, iar templierii au suferit înfrângeri zdrobitoare, sprijinul pentru existenţa ordinului s-a stins. Zvonurile despre ceremoniile iniţiatice secrete ale lor au creat neîncredere, iar regele Filip al IV-lea al Franţei, puternic îndatorat ordinului, a început să facă presiuni asupra papei Clement al V-lea. Vineri, 13 octombrie 1307, regele Filip a arestat majoritatea membrilor Ordinului, inclusiv Marele Maestru Jacques de Molay, şi, după ce le-a obţinut mărturisirile prin tortură, i-a ars pe rug.[4] În 1312, papa Clement, sub presiune din partea regelui Filip, a dizolvat cu forţa întregul ordin. Dispariţia bruscă a unei părţi importante din societatea europeană a acelor timpuri a dat naştere la speculaţii şi legende, care trezesc şi astăzi interes.

The Miracles of Jesus – part I

The Miracles of Jesus – part II

The Miracles of Jesus – part III

Types of miracles

 Cures

The largest group of miracle stories mentioned in the New Testament are those concerning disease and disability. The Gospels give varying amounts of detail for each episode, sometimes Jesus cures simply by saying a few words, or laying on of hands, and at other times employs elaborate rituals using material (e.g. spit or mud). Generally they are recorded in the Synoptic Gospels but not John.

• Fever – The Synoptics describe Jesus as healing the mother-in-law of Simon Peter when he visited Simon’s house in Capernaum, around the time of Jesus recruiting Simon as an Apostle (Mark has it just after the calling of Simon, while Luke has it just before). The synoptics imply that this led other people seeking out Jesus, and him traveling over the whole of Galilee to preach to them.
• Leprosy – The Synoptics state that, early in Jesus’ ministry, he healed a leper, whom he then instructed to offer the requisite ritual sacrifices as proscribed by the Deuteronomic Code and Priestly Code. Jesus instructed the ex-leper not to tell anyone who had healed him; but the man disobeyed, increasing Jesus’ fame, and thereafter Jesus withdrew to deserted places, but was followed there. Luke also states that later, while on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus sent ten lepers, who had sought his assistance, to the priests, and that they were healed as they went, but that the only one that came back to thank Jesus was a Samaritan.
• Long term bleeding – The Synoptics state that while heading to Jairus’ house (see the section below on power over death), Jesus was approached by a woman who had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years, and that she touched Jesus’ cloak (fringes of his garment: Matt 9:20, 14:36), and was instantly healed. Jesus turned about and, when the woman came forward, said “Daughter, your faith has healed you, go in peace”. The bleeding is sometimes interpreted as menorrhagia, but most scholars consider that the duration, 12 years, makes it more plausible that the condition was something more akin to hemophilia.
• Withered hands – The Synoptics state that Jesus entered a synagogue on the Sabbath, and found a man with a withered hand there, whom Jesus healed, having first challenged the people present to decide what was lawful for a Sabbath – to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill . The Gospel of Mark adds that this angered the Pharisees so much that they started to contemplate killing Jesus.
• Dropsy – Luke alone states that, during a Sabbath, Jesus ate in the house of a prominent Pharisee, opposite someone who suffered from dropsy, and Jesus asked the Pharisees that were present if it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath, but, after getting no reply, healed the man. Jesus then challenged the Pharisees to say that they would not immediately pull out an ox, or a son (or a donkey, according to some ancient manuscripts of Luke), if it fell into a well during a Sabbath.
• Deafness – Mark alone states that Jesus went to the Decapolis and met a man there who was deaf and mute, and cured him. Specifically, Jesus first touched the man’s ears, and touched his tongue after spitting, and then said Ephphatha!, an Aramaic word meaning Be opened
• Blindness – The Synoptics state that Jesus met a beggar (Mark gives the name: bar-Timai or son of Timai) who, though blind, still identified Jesus as the Jewish Messiah; Jesus said that the man’s faith has healed him, and he received his sight, and was allowed to follow Jesus. This happened when Jesus was leaving Jericho, and Matthew adds that there was another healed at the same time. John mentions as similar event that happened near the Pool of Siloam, with the following details:
  • The disciples first questioned Jesus whether the man’s curse was for his own sins, or those of his parents. Jesus said it was for neither reason, “but that the works of God should be made manifest in him”.
  • Jesus healed him by spitting on the ground, mixing his spit with mud, and putting the mixture into his eyes, then sent him to wash in the Pool of Siloam.
  • The event happened on a Sabbath; therefore the Pharisees said, “this man is not of God, because he does not keep the Sabbath”. They asked the formerly blind man concerning Jesus, who said, “he is a prophet”.
  • The Jews did not believe that the healed man was the same person as the man who had been blind from birth, and asked his parents if the healed man was their son. The parents responded that he was, and had been born blind.
  • Jesus identified himself as the Son of God, and the cured man worshiped him.

Additionally, Mark alone states that Jesus went to Bethsaida and met another man there who was blind, and then cured him. Specifically, Jesus is described as spitting in the man’s eyes, to which the man responded that his vision is now blurred; Jesus then touched the man’s eyes, and the man responded that he can see clearly now. John’s account of the healing of has been argued by some scholars to be a conflation of the account of bar-Timai in Mark, together with the healing method given by Mark’s account of the second healing of a blind man.

• Paralysis – The Synoptics state that a paralytic was brought to Jesus on a mat; Jesus told him to get up and walk, and the man did so. Jesus also told the man that his sins were forgiven, which according to the Synoptics irritated the Pharisees, and according to John irritated the people in general. Jesus is described as responding to the anger by asking whether it is easier to say that someone’s sins are forgiven, or to tell the man to get up and walk. The Synoptics state that this happened in Capernaum, Mark and Luke adding that Jesus was in a house at the time, and that the man had to be lowered through the roof by his friends due to the crowds blocking the door. A similar account is given in John and occurs at the Pool of Bethesda; some have argued this is another version of the event described in the synoptics, rather than a separate cure.
• Unspecified sickness – All four Canonical Gospels state that Jesus was asked by an official to heal a person important to him, and although Jesus is somewhat annoyed at being constantly asked to perform miracles, rather than being asked for teachings, he says that the person would be healed, and the official returned home to find that this has happened. The Synoptics state that official was a centurion, and that it was the centurion’s servant that was sick, while the Gospel of John states that the official was a royal official, originating from Canaan, and that it was his son who was sick.

Exorcisms

According to the Synoptic Gospels, Jesus performed many exorcisms of demoniacs. These incidents are not mentioned by the Gospel of John.

The accounts in the Synoptic Gospels are:

• The boy possessed by a demon at Capernaum – Jesus exorcised an unclean spirit and forbidding the demon from informing people that he was the “Holy One of God”. (Mark 1:21-28, Luke 4:31-37)
• Jesus drove out evil spirits with a word. (Matthew 8:8, 8:14-17, Mark 1:29-39; Luke 4:33-41)
• The man possessed by demons at Gerasenes, whom the people had tried to chain up but had escaped, and lived in caves, and roamed the hills, screaming – Jesus inquired the man’s name, but is told by the man/demons that his name is Legion, “…for we are many”. The demons asked to be expelled into a group of swine, which Jesus did, and thereafter the pigs fell into a lake and drowned. The pig owners tell the townsfolk what had happened, and when the townsfolk see that the man is now sane, they besought Jesus to leave “for they were taken with great fear”. The man, on the other hand, informs the whole of the decapolis what had happened. (Matthew 8:28-34, Mark 5:1-20, Luke 8:26-39)
• Jesus drove a demon out of a mute man who then spoke, the Pharisees said it was by the power of Beelzebub. (Matthew 9:32-34, Mark 3:20-22)
• Jesus gave the Twelve Apostles the authority to drive out evil spirits. (Matthew 10:1-8, Mark 3:15, 6:7, 6:13, Luke 9:1, 10:17)
• Jesus said if he drove out demons by the Spirit of God or Finger of God then the Kingdom of God has come. (Matthew 12:22-32, Luke 11:14-23, 12:10;, Mark 3:20-30)
• The possessed daughter of the Canaanite or Phoenician woman in Tyre – the woman asks Jesus to heal her daughter, but Jesus says “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. The woman replies, “Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table”, whereupon Jesus tells her that her daughter is healed, and when the woman returns home she finds that this is true. (Matthew 15:21-28, Mark 7:24-30)
• The boy possessed by a demon that is brought forward to Jesus straight after Jesus’ transfiguration, and who foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, becomes rigid, and involuntarily falls into both water and fire – Jesus’ followers cannot expel the demon, and Jesus condemns the people as unbelieving, but when the father of the boy questions if Jesus can heal the boy, Jesus says everything is possible for those that believe, so the father says he believes that the boy could be healed, and Jesus does so. (Matthew 17:14-21, Mark 9:14-29, Luke 9:37-49)
• Jesus had driven seven demons out of Mary Magdalene. (Mark 16:9, Luke 8:2)
• Jesus continued to cast out demons even though Herod Antipas wanted to kill him. (Luke 13:31-32)

 Controlling nature

Jesus multiplying the loaves (altarpiece, 1870, Church of the Nativity of Mary, Ravensburg, Germany).The Gospels tell another group of stories concerning Jesus’ power over nature:

• The Feeding of the 5000 and of the 4000 men – Jesus, praying to God and using only a few loaves of bread and several fish, feeds thousands of men, along with an unspecified number of women and children; there are even a number of baskets of leftovers afterward.
• The Cursing of the Fig Tree – Jesus cursed a fig tree, and it withered.
• Turning Water into Wine – at a wedding, when the host runs out of wine, the host’s servants fill vessels with water at Jesus’ command, then a sample is drawn out and taken to the master of the banquet who pronounces the content of the vessels as the best wine of the banquet.
• Walking on water – Jesus walked on a lake to meet a boat.
• Transfiguration of Jesus – Jesus climbed a mountain and was changed so that his face glowed.
• The Catch of 153 fish – Jesus instructed the disciples to throw their net over the side of the water, resulting in them hauling in the huge catch (for hand fishing) of 153 fish.
• Calming a storm – during a storm, the disciples woke Jesus, and he rebuked the storm causing it to become calm. Jesus then rebukes the disciples for lack of faith.
  Transubstantiation during the last supper; disputed by some denominations. (see Christian Interpretations below)

 Power over death

The Canonical Gospels report three cases where Jesus calls a dead person back to life:

• Jairus’ daughter – Jairus, a major patron of a synagogue, asks Jesus to heal his daughter, but while Jesus is on his way, men tell Jairus that his daughter has died. Jesus says she was only sleeping and wakes her up with the word Talitha koum!.
• The son of the widow at Nain – A young man, the son of a widow, is brought out for burial in Nain. Jesus sees her, and his pity causes him to tell her not to cry. Jesus approaches the coffin and tells the man inside to get up, and he does so.
• The raising of Lazarus – a close friend of Jesus who has been dead for four days is brought back to life when Jesus commands him to get up.
  Jesus’ own resurrection from the dead.
• While the raising of the daughter of Jairus is in all the Synoptic Gospels (but not in the Gospel of John), the raising of the son of the widow of Nain appears only in the Gospel of Luke, and the raising of Lazarus appears only in the Gospel of John. It has been argued by several scholars and commentators[citation needed] that the story of the raising of Lazarus and that of the Nain widow’s son really refer to the same event, considered to derive from the raising of the youth in the original Mark.

 Supernatural knowledge

The ability of Jesus to know things by supernatural means could also be classed as a miracle.

This may explain the reason why Nathaniel responded to Jesus saying, “Before that Philip called thee, when thou was under the fig tree, I saw thee”, by answering, “Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.”[1] It could be perhaps that when he was under the fig tree, Nathaniel had been praying in secret which elicited this response, rather than that he did not know that he had merely been observed in the natural way.

The story of the Samaritan woman at the well is an example where Jesus supernaturally knew the history of the woman including the men in her life.

How Jesus became a Christ – first part

Cum a devenit Iisus un Christos – prima parte

How Jesus became a Christ – second part

Cum a devenit Iisus un Christos – a doua parte

How Jesus became a Christ” is the second DVD in the “Deep Deceptions” series. The series set out to ascertain answers to what he calls, “The Four Great Questions” about human destiny: Who Are We?, Where Did We Come From?, What Should We Do?, and What May We Expect After Death? Jesus promised that those who followed his message would do all the wonders he did and more. If this is not happening in todays Christianity it shows that something has gone very seriously awry. Few even realize that more than 80% of the life of Jesus is missing from the New Testament. Míceál Ledwith’s lifelong study of the available sources had identified many gaps in the religions understanding of God and our place in the world. In particular it became clear that the Christian religions do not, as they claim, carry the revelation of a previously unknown message; but are based on fragments and corruptions of a rare and very ancient wisdom. The early Christian Church spent several centuries of tortured controversy trying to explain how God could have become man in Jesus the Christ. It should have focused instead on how the divine element in every man and woman could be effectively drawn forth. According to the teachings of Ramtha, and upheld by a thorough investigation of all the historical sources, that is precisely what Jesus came to exemplify and facilitate for everyone. Inspired and guided by Ramtha’s teachings, this DVD presents what was accomplished during the transformative journey of the so-called hidden years of Jesus in Egypt, India and Tibet, which all came to fruition in the dramatic events of the three-year ministry in his homeland.
