The Beatitudes: Be Fruitful, Multiply, Have Dominion and the Life of Jesus as Recorded in the Bible.

By James A. Theodore

The Beatitudes Code has been cracked! Read it here.
God has not changed the plan of Creation. Jesus expressed his intent to re-create humankind.
The key to understanding Jesus is to see him as Second Adam; Adam who had not fallen. Adam who walked and talked with God without any separation or sin inherited from the archangel.
God had prepared for this moment for thousands of years. However, it was still up to the chosen and prepared people to receive the promised Messiah.
Our first ancestors turned away from God and we must choose to come back. Jesus spells out the way to return. The Beatitudes are a map containing specific sign posts. These include, in the first phase, development of intellect, emotion, and will for the character of the individual. Following this, we find the process of ethical relationships which conclude with seeing the goodness in others. At this point Christians are qualified to be blessed in holy marriage. Such a marriage will survive and thrive forever because God is involved. The spouses see God in each other. They do not see or find Satan in their relationship.
Upon being blessed in holy marriage, the couple are "peacemakers" which can only happen when the spirit of God enters the world through the united image of the Returning Christ who invites all believers to join him in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
The kingdom comes from within the individual, the family, and then expands in the society. This allows for God's sovereignty on all levels both spiritually and physically.
The Beatitudes are truly the same as the blessings given humankind expressed in Genesis 1:28 - be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion.
The Returning Christ completes the process.
He comes as the Bridegroom. He overcomes the fall of Adam and Eve. He opens the way to restore all things physically as well as spiritually. As the Bridegroom, he brings the holy marriage blessing which Adam and Eve did not attain. He completes the plan set out by Jesus in the Beatitudes. Amen.
And now, we know the rest of the story. God is God of all things He created.

THE BEATITUDES

(Matt. 5)

INTRODUCTION:

THE BEATITUDES – BE PERFECT

Jesus came to the people who had been prepared by God. He taught in their synagogues and gathered a large following. (Matt. 4) Then he presented his plan of restoration; re-creating God’s original ideal on the earth. (Matt. 5) It is the same as the Creator’s plan expressed as Blessings in the book of Genesis (Gen. 1:28).

The high point of Jesus’ ministry came as he gave the Sermon on the Mount, recounted most fully in Matthew. He did not intend to speak in code. He told his audience the plan for salvation. He directed them to become perfect and sent them out to witness – building the kingdom of heaven on the earth with him.

Jesus’ message became encoded as a result of his being rejected and crucified. He had only a brief time to teach but he promised to return.

That code has now been deciphered! The code-breaking technique required a coalescence of many factors. The key to understanding is now provided because of the age. We are living in the Last Days – the time of Christ’s return.

Layers of code have been wrapped around the central universal truth – the plan of restoration to original goodness - salvation. The Beatitudes contain the process designed by the Creator. Jesus’ plan, presented in the Beatitudes, has stood hidden in plain sight for two thousand years.

Shortly after completing the Beatitudes, Jesus said these words will never pass away. The plan of God is unchanging. The Beatitudes renew the Blessings promised in Genesis. They are in harmony with nature. They are consistent with the laws of the Jewish people prepared to receive the Messiah. They show the way to fulfillment and lasting joy.

God will never change His plan. A change after the fall of Adam and Eve would incorporate the actions of Satan into the replacement plan. If changed, the new plan would result from the efforts of both God and Satan, elevating the archangel to co-creator status and creating built-in unending conflict.

God alone remains supreme, the perfection of the plan is intact, and mankind retains the original dignity and freedom to return to a loving relationship with God. The purpose of creation was left unrealized in the Garden of Eden as Adam and Eve separated from God. Jesus is the victorious Adam who never left his Father.

We are left to ask what the world would be like if Jesus had been welcomed and revered. Jesus would have taught his followers to attain the destiny intended by God in the Garden – to be fruitful, to multiply, and to have dominion over creation. (Gen. 1:28) This is precisely the re-creation blueprint that we find in the Beatitudes.

Misunderstandings have been handed down from generation to generation for two thousand years. Jesus told his audience the steps to maturity; the way to a full relationship with God; and the realization of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

The time has come to understand and honor the Beatitudes. They are not simply guidelines for happiness. They are the clearest expression of the central theme of Jesus’ life. Let’s together go to the Mount and listen thoughtfully to Jesus directly instead of indirectly thru the theologies developed over time. With his guidance, in these Last Days, we no longer look thru a glass darkly but can see the Savior face to face.

What do we see? We see the Omega and it is one with the Alpha. The Will of God is unchanging. What was promised in Genesis, and planned by Jesus, is finally fulfilled by his return in the Last Days.

I have spoken, and I will bring it to pass; I have purposed, and I will do it. (Is. 46: 11)

God is God. Amen.

SUMMARY OF THE BEATITUDES

Jesus gave us nine Beatitudes. (The list is long of those who stop at eight but we can count Blessed are … nine times.) We can divide them into three stages corresponding to the Blessings in Eden - to be fruitful (individual), multiply (relationships), and take dominion (God’s dominion thru His children). Jesus is victorious Adam who would cut off our relationship with our father the
