"The Whole Town." From Mark 1: 29-34.

Now we know why Jesus manifested: to get people to cut it out. Life is for the living, it is a place where man gets to enjoy the fulfillment of his own purposes, after he accepts the Holy Ghost.

In spite of this, there was collateral damage left behind by the practice of religion and also the non-practice of religion by the Roman state. The response of the God of Israel to this is not healing as the Book of Mark says when it is so literally translated.

We start with a very suspicious thing in a Judaic text: A pronoun.

The passage begins with a reference to they. They means "the Hague", the pure growth from an old stem; this is very curiously associated with the mission of the Christ on earth:

"The Hebrews and Greeks placed so much stock in their puns that they elevated it to a dazzling art form, and stored easily as much information in the pun-layer of their texts as in the proper narration. This pun-layer, which is rather alike a fractalic crystal, cannot be transferred into translations, because of which a huge part of the Biblical message is lost, as if hit by a stroke.

To somewhat counteract that sad injustice, here follows a look at the etymological neighborhood and poetic associations of the important words αγιος (hagios) and αγνος (hagnos), holiness and pure. For their occurrence in the New Testament, see further below.

The amazing words αγιος (hagios) and αγνος (hagnos), generally translated with "holy" or "pure", stem from the same hugely old root that also resulted in the Sanskrit word yajati (to worship) and the Old Persian word ayadana (temple). But what that root may have originally reflected is not immediately clear.

It probably did not have to do with a formal declaration of sanctity, because that would be part of a more modern religious or cultural devotion (see the adjective ιερος, hieros, meaning sacred, or οσιος, hosios, holy in a lawful sense). Instead, our words probably come from something much more fundamental and natural, something that spontaneously crossed the considerations of hunter-gatherers across vast territories, long before artificial cultural symbols such as deities had manifested."

To heal wounds fostered by a religious practice, one we don't want to destroy only codify, is done by nurturing old good wood. This explains why Jesus and his new converts went to the house Simon "reputable" and Andrew, "the house of the friends of the man-stealing husband":

The noun ανηρ (aner) refers to a human male individual or husband. Its genitive form is the familiar word ανδρος (andros), which means "of (a) man" or "manly."

"Verb ανδριζω (andrizo) means to behave manly (i.e. maturely or courageously). Noun ανδραποδιστης (andrapodistes), means man-stealer, and noun ανδροφονος (androphonos), meaning manslayer. Adjective υπανδρος (hupandros), meaning "under a husband," i.e. married. The adjective φιλανδρος (philandros), means friendly toward men or husband(s)."

Jesus Heals Many

29 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.

 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them.

32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.

 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.

Simon's mother-in-law had a fever and was bed-ridden meaning she was worried about the future of her gay son and his live in husband. The mother-in-law in such a unity would be the Jewish one. She began to wait, hoping for a conversion. This means she anticipated the onset of Shabbos in her son's mixed marriage household. This is typical, apparently.

The text says Jesus took her hand, meaning He took fate into His own, and read from the Torah. The whole town, meaning every aspect of the Self was covered during the reading, and this cured many wrong assumptions about the role of Jewish life in Roman times. For the ones who were left, that is.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 29: As soon as they left, they went to the House. The Number is 7719, ז‎זאט‎‎‎, zazat, "you are a step in the secret evolutionary code that is moving through humanity in a cyclic way, the agents for restoring humanity's faith in its fundamental truth."

"It's not clear why the Hebrew language would need a particle like that, but its persistent presence opens the door to the suggestion that the Hebrew texts we call the Old Testament are not primarily representations of a spoken human language but rather a kind of literary code from which spoken language ultimately derived.

Some theorists have suggested that spoken language developed with the help of pictures, and folks trying to discuss these pictures and needing new words and inflections to do so (like stone-age Bible studies).

On the evolutionary scale, classical Hebrew obviously sits between pictorial texts (pictures and hieroglyphs) that have nothing to do with spoken language, and the kind of text you are reading now (modern English), which tries to closely resemble speech.

Judging from its extant derivatives, unused verb זוז (zwz) appears to have described a cyclic or tidal "ebb and flow" motion. Noun זיז (ziz) denotes roving things such as certain animals, which obviously move about their territory in circles, depending on the season. Noun מזוזה (mezuza) denotes a "place or agent" of the parental verb's cyclic motion, and refers to a door- or gate-post (and of course humans' frequent return to some fundamental truth)."

v. 30-31: He went to her and helped her up. All Jesus wanted to do was help Israel get back on her feet. Look at all the foolishness we have done. Simon and Andrew were apparently come kind of David and Jonathan we never recounted, they were Discipled and witnessed miracles they were the perfect couple. The Number is 12219, ��ב‎באט‎ ‎, yevbat, "You were waiting, whimpering and whining."

Jesus did His best to free Israel from Rome. We know He did. Rome would not let it go, and the Jewish people were not able or unwilling to stand beside Him, not all of them so the Messiah did not take place.

v. 32: That evening after sunset the people brought the sick. Jesus had many, many Jewish followers that agreed with what He had to say about the Torah and being Jewish. The Number is 4551, דההא‎ ‎, the daha, "He led with His Hand, He pulled the snakes out." To revive Judaism and instate the Shabbat and an insurrection against Rome, Jesus came and lived and told His own story.

"The verb הדה (hada) is thought to mean to stretch out one's hand or to lead with one's hand. A comparable verb occurs in Arabic (meaning to lead or guide), but our Hebrew verb occurs a mere one time in the Bible, namely in Isaiah 11:8, where a young child is foretold to be able to stretch out the hand upon a viper's den without coming to harm.

Since reaching out is a fairly common activity, one would expect a verb that simply means to reach to occur more often, and since it doesn't it seems likely that it means something quite specialized.

Here at Abarim Publications we surmise that that this verb instead tells of extracting a snake from its den or shelter in order to remove it and keep it from harming passers-by. In Mark 16:18, Jesus tells of the signs that will accompany those who have believed: "In My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Hence we surmise that our verb means: to manually extract snakes from their burrows. And since this verb is the root of the Hebrew name for India, we might even go as far as to suggest that our verb means to snake-charm (which was an art certainly familiar to the Israelites: see Psalm 58:4-5)."

It was Christ's goal to start Eden all over again. He was not able to do it, as for why not we will see later.

v. 33: The whole town gathered. He would not let the demons speak. The Number is 14824, ‎ידחבד‎‎ ‎, yadhavad, "God's Committee."

During an accurate Kabbalah, all the questions about what the weerd werds in the Torah are explained, all definitions make sense, and one knows exactly how to proceed. Jesus fast tracked people to Shabbat because food, beverage, weddings, families, and the contacts were what they needed if they were going to outlive Rome. This concept and the diplomacy needed to make it happen are all covered in the Torah, but they are the very special focus of the Gospels.

Demons will try to undermine the former, no matter how beneficial they might be. No matter how well the right ways are illuminated in a scripture or a church, devil worshipping demons will still try to satisfy their temptations. Jesus was firm during His entire ministry what was to be done about this, but no one listened. Now His Name is being used to accomplish great evil in the eyes of the Lord. Persons who are involved with any of this gravening of God's Image must be punished.

Welterbe (auf)gespürt und (er)fahren – GR – Paläochristliche und byzantinische Denkmäler von Thessaloniki

Die Hafenstadt Thessaloniki wurde im Jahr 315 v. Chr. gegründet. Sie entwickelte sich zu einem wichtigen kulturellen und künstlerischen Zentrum und war einer der ersten Ausgangspunkte für die Verbreitung des Christentums. Thessaloniki verfügt heute über einige der bedeutendsten Denkmäler aus der byzantinischen Zeit. Dazu zählen religiöse, weltliche und militärische Bauwerke. Die Wandmalereien, Mosaike und Fresken dieser Denkmäler repräsentieren einige der wichtigsten künstlerischen Strömungen der byzantinischen Monumentalmalerei von ihren Anfängen bis zu ihrem Höhepunkt, der paläologischen Renaissance. Die Kirchen wurden zwischen dem 4. und 15. Jahrhundert gebaut und hatten erheblichen Einfluss auf die byzantinische Welt. Die Mosaike von Thessaloniki, wie der Rotunde, des Heiligen Demetrius und des Hosios David im Latomou-Kloste, gehören zu den großen Meisterwerken der frühchristlichen Kunst. Die Denkmäler von Thessaloniki stehen seit 1988 auf der UNESCO-Welterbeliste. Ich muss mich im Berufsverkehr durch Thessaloniki quälen und parke am Stadion, wo ich auch die Nacht verbringen werde. Ich habe mir wie üblich die für meine Runde wichtigen Punkte auf dem Stadtplan markiert und laufe zunächst zur Rotunde. Thessaloniki ist eine moderne, weitläufige Stadt. Im Zentrum rund um den Hafen beginnt bereits das Feierabendleben. Wie ich es von anderen Großstädten mit historischen Denkmälern schon kenne, stehen auch hier die alten Gemäuer, wie ein bisschen aus der Zeit gefallen, zwischen den Neubauten.

So sehe ich als erstes in einer begrünten Fußgängerzone Teile der alten Stadtmauer. Die Rotunde ist auch im modernen Stadtbild als ein ein großes und imposantes Bauwerk von Weitem sichtbar. Der Rundbau ist gut erhalten bzw. rekonstruiert und steht neben dem Glockenturm zwischen den Grundmauern der ehemals umgebenden weiteren Gebäude.

Im Inneren wird ihre Größe besonders sichtbar. Ich betrachte mir weit oben die schönen Mosaike und bestaune die dicken Wände.

Wenig später trete ich durch den nicht minder imposanten Galeriusbogen.

Am Navarinou-Platz kann man noch die Grundmauern seiner Residenz sehen. Die Stadt geht langsam in den Abend-Modus und die Sonne unter ins Meer, die Straßen sind voll junger Leute, es wird Musik gemacht und vor den Restaurants werden die Tische eingedeckt. Jetzt an der Hafenpromenade mit dem Weißen Turm und den Ausflugs-Windjammern entlang zu gehen, ist ein Highlight meines Stadtrundgangs.

Auf meinem Rückweg durch den modernen Teil der Stadt komme ich am byzentinischen Museum vorbei. Nach einer sehr ruhigen Nacht auf meinem Platz neben dem Stadion breche ich zum Morgenspaziergang zum Latomou-Kloster auf. Zunächst sehe ich einen wesentlich besser erhaltenen Teil der Stadtmauer. Sie führt steil auf den Berg, an dem sich die Stadt hinaufzieht und ich entdecke sogar einen Wachturm.

Auf dem weiteren Weg zum Kloster bin ich froh, nicht mit dem Auto gefahren zu sein, denn hier komme ich durch ein typisches Viertel einer alten Hafenstadt mit schmalen steilen Kopfsteinpflastergassen zwischen den kleinen bunten Häusern.

Das Kloster liegt versteckt auf dem Berg. Zum Glück gibt es einen Hinweis in der letzten Gasse. Im Garten blühen die Sträucher, man hat von hier oben einen traumhaften Blick auf den Hafen.

Ich werde freundlich in die Kirche gebeten, es riecht nach Weihrauch und mich umgibt die gleiche friedliche Stimmung wie schon im Klostergarten. Ich bin alleine hier und genieße sie.

Später verabschiede ich mich vom Wächter des Klosters, die Stadt erwacht zum Leben und ich begebe mich langsam auf die Weiterfahrt, vorbei am Berg Athos*, der für Frauen gesperrt ist, nach Philippi, dem letzten Welterbe auf dem griechischen Festland und damit auf meiner Runde.

Resümee

Thessaloniki ist eine sehenswerte Stadt. Ich habe nur einen winzigen Teil ihrer schönen Denkmäler gesehen und am Abend am Hafen auch nur einen kleinen Eindruck bekommen und war schon davon begeistert. Es lohnt sich, ausreichend Zeit mitzubringen für ausgedehnte Bummel durch die Altstadtviertel und am Hafen entlang und auf jeden Fall hier eine oder mehrere Übernachtungen einzuplanen. Meine beiden besuchten Welterbestätten kann ich unbedingt empfehlen anzuschauen, die Rotunde wegen ihrer beeindruckenden Größe und das kleine Kloster am Berg wegen seiner ganz besonderen Stimmung. *Ein Tipp noch - nur für Männer - die Eintrittsgenehmigung zum Berg Athos gibt es hier in Thessaloniki (siehe Read the full article
