The Storm on the Sea of Galilee

Artist: Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606-1669)

Genre: Religious Painting

Date: 1633

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Movement: Dutch Golden Age

Location: Unknown Since 1990

Rembrandt’s most striking narrative painting in America, Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee, is also his only painted seascape. Dated 1633, it was made shortly after Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam from his native Leiden, when he was establishing himself as the city’s leading painter of portraits and historical subjects. The detailed rendering of the scene, the figures’ varied expressions, the relatively polished brushwork, and the bright coloring are characteristic of Rembrandt’s early style. Eighteenth-century critics like Arnold Houbraken often preferred this early period to Rembrandt’s later, broader, and less descriptive manner.

The biblical scene pitches nature against human frailty – both physical and spiritual. The panic-stricken disciples struggle against a sudden storm, and fight to regain control of their fishing boat as a huge wave crashes over its bow, ripping the sail and drawing the craft perilously close to the rocks in the left foreground. One of the disciples succumbs to the sea’s violence by vomiting over the side. Amidst this chaos, only Christ, at the right, remains calm, like the eye of the storm. Awakened by the disciples’ desperate pleas for help, he rebukes them: “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” and then rises to calm the fury of wind and waves. Nature’s upheaval is both cause and metaphor for the terror that grips the disciples, magnifying the emotional turbulence and thus the image’s dramatic impact.

The painting showcases the young Rembrandt’s ability not only to represent a sacred history, but also to seize our attention and immerse us in an unfolding pictorial drama. For greatest immediacy, he depicted the event as if it were a contemporary scene of a fishing boat menaced by a storm. The spectacle of darkness and light formed by the churning seas and blackening sky immediately attracts our attention. We then become caught up in the disciples’ terrified responses, each meticulously characterized to encourage and sustain prolonged, empathetic looking. Only one figure looks directly out at us as he steadies himself by grasping a rope and holds onto his cap. His face seems familiar from Rembrandt’s self-portraits, and as his gaze fixes on ours we recognize that we have become imaginative participants in the painter’s vivid dramatization of a disaster Christ is about to avert.

Jesus Calms the Storm

"That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Mark 4:35-41 New International Version

"The Fisherman." From Mark 1: 16-20.

We are cotinuing to learn who the Christ really was. We know He came to bring the bread of heaven "firm understanding of the processes of humanity entailed in the Gospels". For this to work we must repent. After repentance, we must be discipled.

While Jesus did not reteach the Torah, we know He said we must know it.

"Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” (Luke 24:44–48)

All of the teachings in the Gospels depend on the proper teachings of the Torah by the Jewish people. Without their knowledge, the Gospels are just runny schmegma. This is why I am applying proper Torah logic to this contemporary analysis of the Christ and completing history's first ever accurate proper definition of Discipleship. We must conclude it includes an understanding of the formulaic approach of the Torah which is NOT an Old Testament, it is a Torah, "the instructions, the recipe" a Tanakh "the handbooks" and a Talmud, "the survey."

Many portray the Old Testament with thee Jews as "the hard times" and the New Testament Era as the "good times", except none of this is true or accurate.

Now let's do some Jesus. The real thing. The Call to Discipleship follows in a format called the Four Directions.

Before we read we must define words from other languages so we make sure we understand.

Jesus= the Son of God. He contains all the beliefs God instilled in the Jewish people called the Torah. He came to the earth to reset the age and put the temple back on track.

The Sea of Galiee= Seas are places of reflection. We can't see ourselves exactly in the surface of the sea unless the waters are completely still. Then they mirror us perfectly. The Sea of Galilee represents the surface of the mind that is caught in a whirlwind, one that can only be freed from disturbance through contemplation. We must rule the mind if we are to benefit from this text:

"The verb גלל (galal) primarily expresses rolling, whirling or heaping and may also denote a broad sweep (of land or time). Noun גל (gal) means heap or pile; גיל (gel), a heap specifically of dung; גלל (galal), dung; גלול (gillul), idols. Noun גלה (gulla) means bowl, basin or spring; noun גלילה (gelila), circuit, boundary or territory. Noun גליל (galil) denotes a supporting cylinder or rod; adjective גליל (galil), probably describes a cylindrical hinge column, noun מגלה (megilla) means scroll. Noun גלגל (gilgal) means wheel; noun גלגל (galgal), wheel or whirlwind. Noun גלגלת (gulgoleth) means skull or head. In cognate languages verb גלל (galal) extends to also describe the nobility of someone who rules a region.

The parallel verb גיל (gil) expresses a circular motion as is mostly associated with expressions of joy and celebration (dance). Nouns גיל (gil) and גילה (gila) mean a rejoicing. Noun גיל (gil) describes a circle or time: an age."

Simon= a good reputation, i.e. "good reports are made about this person, the rumors one hears about this person are positive."

Andrew= a manly man of vows, a champion of liberty.

James=who is in control of his actions

Zebedee=what God has given can be pleasing to the senses

John= God's Graces are free, they are to be freely given

Jesus says they are going to fish for people. Not everything that is man shaped is a person. That is easy to see. So the process of fishing is actually one of cultivation of mankind out of the water in which is submerged, AKA a Great Flood of violence and confusion.

The net is the Holy Ghost, the conscience. It is found in the Voice of God that takes up residence within the Self and the counsel of the Godly once they becomes a fit residencec for Him. In order to trap the mind of man and hual it out of the depths, one needs a boat. The boats are those who have heard and understand the Gospel Torah, "the instructions the Son of Man spake."

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 

17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.

19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 

20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 16: Jesus walked. Jesus was not a bull or a ram or an ox, He was a man. He spoke like one, like an adult. This is what it means to cast a net into a lake, to attempt to draw out the entity in other lower lifeforms. For this you need the Torah.

The Number is 7849, זח‎ד‎ט‎, zahdt, "you are the same", we have to fish inside for what is not known to us without the Spirit of God.

v. 17-18: I will send you out. This does not mean hang out on the dock for gays with a net trap. It means the Spirit will send out the Self when it is made. The Number is 7426, זדב‎‎ו‎ ‎, zadvo, "import the marching orders."

=

The Torah.

v. 19: James and John were preparing their nets. To prepare is to transact with added insight and detail. This is what we are doing right at this very moment. Keep in mind this approach to the Gospels in not based on a marriage of kooky metaphors. Rather it is the exploration of a religion that was written long ago in a foreign language that nonetheless has great importance to the meaning of life of the mankind of today. Loose or screwy or popular interpretations of this meaning are no good.

A real Disciple of Jesus would want to know the right way to read His Torah.

The Number is 6295,טבטה, tabata, "demand prosecution of the claims."

v. 20: Without delay, He called them. I was very excited to start working on this Gospel as it has the power to end thousands of years of human bondage. The actual text of the Gospels are one and all quite ingenious, unworthy of handling by the bear paws of the fundamentalists and Mormons in particular who have fucked this planet up in their name.

The Number is 6396, ו‎גטו‎ ‎, "and the ghetto".

= to start a civil war and integrate two alien populations, to assert pressure upon them so they stop acting like barbarians.

"Together with the preposition επι (epi), meaning on or upon: the noun επιδημος (epidemos), literally meaning "upon the people" in the sense of a non-integrated addition, or even a burden to the natives: tourists, refugees, resident aliens, migrant workers, diasporic groups.

This word appears to be largely negative, and seems comparable the familiar term βαρβαρος (barbaros), barbarous (or barbarian when used substantively), which was probably associated with the noun βαρος (baros), weight or heaviness. Our noun επιδημος (epidemos) is the source of our English word "epidemic", which essentially describes a non-native entity that is upon/among the people, not belonging there (and having long outstayed its welcome). Another use of our word is in the term πολεμος επιδημος (polemosepidemos), meaning civil war (see Iliad 9.63).

Our noun is not used independently in the New Testament, but from it derive:

The verb επιδημεω (epidemeo), meaning to be upon the people: to be an alien with an unspoken implication of exerting a burden to the host population (Acts 2:10 and 17:21 only).

Together with the preposition παρα (para), meaning near or nearby: the adjective παρεπιδημος (parepidemos), meaning the same as the previous but slightly less alien to the host population: descriptive of a resident alien who is somewhat integrated but still recognized and treated as an outlander and perhaps even living in a ghetto or designated neighborhood (Hebrews 11:13, 1 Peter 1:1 and 2:11 only)."

So to be a Disciple of the Christ, one must act as an outlander on an entrenched pattern of barbarism and oppression and make it a burden upon the people to remain that way.

Man cannot settle for a world pockmarked by violence and disease, he must evolve and become enlightened. The time for avoiding this fact has passed.
