The Baby King Who Takes on Caesar

Friends, is the Christmas story little more than a sweet, saccharine tale about a cute baby being born? Or do the Gospels present something more subversive and revolutionary, a battle between two great kings? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s “Word on Fire Show” episode.

A listener asks, whose body is the Body of Christ in the Eucharist? Infant, crucified, or resurrected Jesus?

  1. The corn. John 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The corn. The only begotten son of the father is one, and God, shall declare them! To no one but one. The Alpha and The Omega are the sons of God.

  2. The corn. Many people believe that the word of God is written out there somewhere! But it’s written from within you, within the human condition. I lie not against God, God is in me as THE TRUTH! The foolish virgins, will not believe it, and these are real Christians in God, Christ Jesus who walked on this earth in real time and now is. As the wise virgins, are real Christians, so is the foolish virgins, real Christians. Remember only Judah excepted David as king, and only the wise virgins, will except The Spirit Of Truth, as Lord. That which is done in the beginning expect it at the end. When the last becomes first within the beginning of the Alpha, expect the first to become last within the end of the Omega. When you kill The Spirit Of Truth, who do you think you’re killing? The two witnesses, The Spirit Of Truth, within the spirit of grace and the spirit of grace, within The Spirit Of Truth. They represent the likeness of the image of God‘s structure, in the word of God, in real time, they complete the totality of the word of God, in the beginning and the end. Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.

  3. Revelations 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

    The corn. And I (The Spirit Of Truth ) looked, ( through the eyes of the Holy Ghost, as a extension of the mind of God ) and behold ( the hidden manna ) pale horse: ( not influenced by personal feelings of the imagination of his heart life, or the unconscious, in adaptation when causing that which is first to become last with intent ) and his ( The Spirit Of Truth ) name ( is the mind of God ) that sat ( as the seat of power ) on him ( he himself as the totality of his human mind and consciousness and his unconscious, in the becoming of the mind of the spirit ) was Death, ( Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. ) and Hell ( the dead in the spirit world ) followed with him. ( The Spirit Of Truth, wherever he goes as a thorn on the one side ) And power ( as the seat of power ) was given ( as part of God’s plan ) unto them ( evil spirits in the spirit world on the one side, as a necessary evil ) over ( having control over the last within the beginning of the nature of men ) the fourth part ( The fourth part of the structure of God is, the last! Within the beginning of the Alpha ) of the earth, ( the little ground, as the spirits in the spirit world call it. This represents the biological body in the human condition as the ground of your being and psyche ) to kill ( to kill steel and destroy ) with sword, ( with the word of God, in the spirit of grace ) and with hunger, ( not the elementary form of hunger, but the primary form of smashing, trashing and destroying ) and with death, ( the word of God, in The Spirit Of Truth ) and with the beasts ( the impulse of ones biological nature ) of the earth. ( the flesh ) Wise virgins, remember the kingdom of Heaven is written from within you, within the human condition of man. Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.

  4. The corn. In the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth, you cannot even backslide! Without hearing about it, from the Holy Spirit, in your vision dreams, you will be off the housetop and it is very difficult to be seen again in your vision dreams, back up on the housetop, but it’s not impossible. The further out you get without turning back into The Spirit Of Truth, the darker it gets to the point where you will not be able to find your way out. My advice, do not do this if you’re not dedicated to the commitment! Once you’re in, there’s no getting out, the only way out is in. This is nothing like Grace, to be played with. Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.

  5. Matthew 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

    The corn. I can hear someone say. What exactly is the judgment like? God is preparing you for the spiritual new heaven that you will be in and that is within you while in real time, it can only be done in real time, because this is the only time you will be in the completed totality of God’s structure, on the one side of the Omega and on the other side of the Alpha and you will be living life the way it was created to be experienced and you will be preserved in the Holy Spirit, in this way while in real time. It’s like psychotherapy! but concerning why you’re on the path or off the path of God‘s voice at any given time, according to the directions of God‘s voice in the visions dreams, of the Holy Spirit. That’s the judgment in a nutshell.

  6. *One of the best perspectives on Christianity. Superb*👌👌

  7. Revelations 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

    The corn. The mechanics of the hidden variables, in quantum mechanics, is the spirit and the mechanics of the structure of God, which is the midst, round about, before and behind. The spirit of the structure of God, is. The Midst = The center of the structure of God, is everywhere throughout the structure of God. Round = the circumference of the beginning, and the end the first and the last. About = throughout the diameter of the beginning and the end the first and the last. Before = the last throughout the beginning. Behind = the first throughout the end. These are the hidden variables of quantum mechanics. Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.

  8. The corn. If you heard the last trumpet, would you recognize it?

  9. The corn. Out of the mouth of science God exist! The structure of God, speaks out of all things, even quantum mechanics.

  10. Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

    The corn. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. So I will give you your camel within the form of a gnat that you may believe. The gnat within the camel and the camel within the gnat.

    The corn. You have two particles one in the beginning, and one in the end. You have the particle within the beginning black, and it is on earth and you have the particle within the end white and it is in heaven. Now, if the white particle within the beginning becomes the likeness! of the black particle in image form within the end, I know that the black particle within the end will become the likeness! in image form of the white particle within the beginning and the particles within the beginning and the end will become entangled because of the spirit within the particles is the same spirit in the beginning and the end. It is the spirit that makes the particles one and the same within the beginning and the end and it is the likeness of the particles that makes the spirit recognized as being one within the same structure, in image form within the beginning and the end. This is why quantum mechanics behave the way it does, it’s imitating as the likeness of the structure of God.

    The vacuum in the mind of the spirit and within it, is the heart of the earth. Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth, where the oil now is.

  11. The corn. When you look at the Dark matter and dark energy, you’re looking at invisible adams that is spiritual, within the vacuum of the universe. I can hear someone say, how do you know? Because I have touched it at the edge of the universe between the spirit world. What do you think you’re looking at? The likeness of God’s image reflected in the surface display of his creation. You’re looking at the end of the Omega within the beginning of the Alpha. When you close your eyes, you’re seeing the same thing! You just do not know it because it transcends thought, the universe is within you! It’s like trying to explain to a fish that’s never been out of the water that he’s in water, the fish cannot perceive that, because all the fish knows is water, it’s the same image when it comes to understanding the universe that is within you. You are the physical substance in the beginning, and the end is the eternal substance that is within you, do not look at the substance when looking at God, look at the under lining structure that the substance is in and that is within the substance, look at yourself and look within yourself there is a structure that houses both dimensions and that structure is called God, the beginning, and the end, the first, and the last, is the structure of God! Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.

  12. Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

    The corn. I, even I, am the last when the last becomes first within the beginning of the Alpha and I even I am the first when the first becomes last within the end of the Omega.

    I the last, even I the first, am conscious when the last becomes first within the beginning of the Alpha and I the first, even I the last, am conscious when the first becomes last within the end of the Omega.

    If the field of space time, were to become one with the field of eternity, you would see the field of eternity, within the field of space time.

    Basically you would see the end within the beginning while existing in real time within you.

    you are seeing the field of eternity within you, while being in the field of space time, in real time. The whole thing becomes transparent in transcendence of the human condition found in the eternal nature of man. You must transcend the unconscious through the transformation of changing the water into wine, basically changing the unconscious into consciousness because God, is a conscious spirit and we must become what God is! Welcome to the dispensation of The Spirit Of Truth.

  13. Amen Awesome Amazing Mystical JP

  14. The corn. When I was eight or nine years old and Angel came and spoke to me and said, you are one sent into a new time to bear record that the seal of God is true. God sealed me in my forehead, and change my name to .Oneffunes. And I asked God, what does it mean and God said to me, it means ONE FOLD, you and I are one. The corn, it’s with the Holy Spirit, showed me that I am. In the spirit world, they call me the new moon, one time I was in the spirit world, and I seen an angel, and I said to him what is my name, and he called me A Rock, but the Bible call me The Spirit Of Truth.

  15. The corn. What makes us so valuable passed all other created beings is, we are in the completed totality of the structure of God, we are on both sides! On the one side of the Omega and on the other side of the Alpha and if you cannot operate the structure of God, while in real time, you will not be able to fly in Paradise, you will be in Paradise, but you will be considered as a Eternal Walker, unable to fly.

  16. The corn. The Spirit Of Truth, and the Holy Spirit, or one and the same spirit, within one and the same structure. The Spirit Of Truth, is the eyes of the Holy Ghost, which is a extension of the mind of God, made manifest in the flesh, if you have seen The Spirit Of Truth, you have seen the Holy Spirit, in the flesh.

  17. The Catholic and Orthodox Bible is the the Truth.

    As is Tradition. But times change.

    A man can only step in a river once; for the man changes, and the river changes. (Some Greek guy said this, but meant something bs metaphysical with it.)

  18. Not all women are innocent. Many aren't.

  19. I pray to Mary, for she is my True Mother.

    I pray to the Father.

    I am terrified of Gabriël.

    And Jesus is Lord. ❤

  20. I've read the Oxford Annotated. Trust me, biblical "scholars" are demons: they want fame. How dumb, their arguments.

  21. Father Barron, you should be Pope. The next one. This one is decent, I guess. ❤
