xi Preface

Preface

When one views the most renowned among men (because He was not merely man), it must need be that we do so through the finite; however, through expressed grace granted by the Creator, coupled with faith in Him who maintains all things and His ability to preserve all things, I believe that we can realize the temporal taking hold of the eternal, through the Spirit freely given to those who ask Him. For the edification contained herein we all owe our Awesome Creator alone, for any and all omissions or errors, I, as a simple layman accept the responsibility for and ask forgiveness of them, first before the Perfect Father and then of my fellow man.

This work is divided into two sections: the first looks at Old Testament, Messianic, Allegorical, and Prophetic scriptures, or MAP, mainly focused on the redemptive plan of YHVH (GOD), including the first and second coming of Christ, God’s Judgement, and Eternal Kingdom, with His own commentary of New Testament scriptures, which enlighten even obscure writing of the prophets.

The second, Have I been so long a time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me. Jesus, which is a sequential and harmonic blend of the four gospels and Acts, into a complete account of the earthly life of our blessed Savior Yehowshuwa Masshiyach, Jesus Christ.

Herein is contained the complete Gospel record, penned by the four Apostles whom were foreordained by God, according to His purposes, to bring the world the Grace and Truth contained in His Own Son Jesus. Prophesied and named Emmanuel (God with Us), displaying for all to see, Him for who He is. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Before us is a scene by scene unveiling of The One of Whom is more written than "any other throughout the history of man, because history is His—Story. For this narrative, the Original King James Version is used; may we all fulfill His call to learn of Him.

The correlation of the multitude of scenes in the Life of the Anointed Savior follows the following basic structure. The Lord inspired me to view the gospels in two ways: first, with the scripture that not one jot or tittle would pass until all is fulfilled, and within it to diligently view, and secondly, the time and locations statements contained therein. After much review and search of resources, Luke was chosen as the general base for structure. But where an event is most prolific in another gospel, that gospel was then used. In oversight of the good news, some main events emerge such as Jesus Birth, the Sermon on the Mount or on the Plain, the Transfiguration, Jesus’s Hour Had Come, the Death on the Cross, The Resurrection, etc…, which aid in correlation. The feasts and feast days described along with their description and duration in Leviticus give added direction. When locations are referenced, then travel time allowance was also considered. When these and various other resources are reviewed, a final structure is determined and reviewed. Each scene is recorded with all gospel information included, I wish that every single word were able to be transcribed; however, for narrative continuity, limited redundancy exclusions seem necessary, even fewer inclusion not originally scribed are included for verbal clarity and placed in italics. With this, scriptural sequence lines, of each of the gospels were created and continually consulted. Attempting to keep all this and sometimes more, in consideration, what follows is the result, I have learned so much and will surely continue to understand more as this is read by those more acute to wisdom than I. Before our modern world, The God Whom was in Christ Reconciling the world back unto Himself here again displays before all the most Abundant of life ever lived, may each whom reads, truly receive His promise of a more abundant life in Him, both now and forever more, in all things my humble desire is To God be the Glory, Great things He has done…

Our loving Heavenly Father never pours out blessings sparingly, but always with abundance, in the course of compiling this greatest of stories ever told, analytics often stretched the mind, but always proved to produce artistry that is only achievable by the One Whom spoke all things into existence from the eternal realm. Here all skeptics discrepancies willingly bow, unto the multiple dimensionality of His genius, His truth, His ultimate work of beauty and love, that of His second Personage, His Son, Jesus the Christ, our savior, the King of Kings and the Lord of lords. All references to the three personages of the Godhead, in both sections of this work are Capitalized out of honour and awe of the Only God there are none beside.

It is with complete and perfect confidence, that I commend all whom read and hear, these His eternal and inerrant words, that if unbelief is your position you may prove Him, and find that it is His goodness that leads you to repentance, and to fellow believers that we all may bow in awe of Him, The Author and finisher of our faith, The One whom first loved us and then gave Himself for us. Amazing Love how can it be that you my King would die for me. For truly it is our joy to honor You. In all that we do…

Messianic, Allegorical, Prophetic Scriptures

(Gen. 1:1) In the beginning God. (Jn. 1:1–2) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.

(Gen. 1:3) And God said (Jn. 1:1) the Word was God.

(Gen. 3:15) I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed: it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel. (Gal. 4:4) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son. Made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. (Rom. 16:20) And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly, The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (Heb. 2:14) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same: that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil.

(Gen. 4:4) And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock (Sheep) and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering. (Num. 18:17) But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem: they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD. (Heb. 11:4) By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

(Gen. 5:24) And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; For God took him. (Mk. 16:19) So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. (Heb. 11:5) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

(Gen. 12:1–3) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Acts 7:2–5)

Stephen to the council, And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, harken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran, and said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. And He gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that He would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. (Heb. 11:8) By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed, and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Gal. 3:7–9)

Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

(Gen. 12:7) And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy Seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him. (Gal. 3:16) Now Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy Seed, which is Christ.

(Gen. 14:18) And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and He was the priest of the most high God. (Heb. 6:20, 7:1) Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus made an high priest, for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:

(Gen. 17:19) And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his Seed after him. (Heb. 13:20–21) Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant. Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory for ever and ever. A-men. (Rom. 9:7) Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy Seed be called.

(Gen. 22:7–8) And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide Himself a Lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. (Jn. 1:29) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

(Gen. 24:17) And the servant ran to meet her, and said. Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. (Rev. 19:7) Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.

(Gen. 26:2–5) And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy Seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Because that Abraham obeyed My voice, and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws. (Heb. 11:18) Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy Seed be called:

(Gen. 28:12) And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. (Jn. 1:51) And He said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

(Gen. 28:14) And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy Seed shall all the families of the earth be Blessed. (Gal. 3:8) And the scriptures, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

(Gen. 49:10) The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come: and unto Him shall the gathering of the people be (Num. 24:17). I shall see Him, but not now: I shall behold Him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. (Eze. 21:27) I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him. (Isa. 2:2) And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (Heb. 1:8) But unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of Thy Kingdom.

(Ex. 3:13–14) And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. (Jn. 4:26) Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto thee am He. (Jn. 8:58) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was I Am.

(Ex. 12:3) Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their father’s, a lamb for an house: (Jn. 1:29) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

(Ex. 12:5) Your lamb shall be without blemish, (Heb. 9:14). How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offer Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God. (1 Pet. 1:19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. A male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

(Ex. 12:13) And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. (Rom. 5:8–9) But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

(Ex. 12:21–27) Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. (1 Cor. 5:7) Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, (Jn. 19:29). Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they fill a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to His mouth. And dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you. And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as He hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

(Ex. 12:46) And in one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. (Jn. 19:36) For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.

(Ex. 15:2) The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation: He is my God, and I will prepare Him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. (Acts 7:55–56) But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked upstedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

(Ex. 15:11) Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? (Acts 4:27) For of a truth against Thy Holy Child Jesus, Whom Thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together.

(Ex. 16:4) Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you: and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in My law, or no. (Jn. 6:48–51) I Am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I Am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

(Ex. 17:6) Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the Rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. (1 Cor. 10:4) And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

(Ex. 33:19) And He said, I will make all My goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. (Jn. 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

(Lev. 1:1–9) And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD. And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering: and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:

And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar: But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. (Eph. 5:2) And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

(Lev. 14:1–3) And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be bought unto the priest: (Lk. 5:14) And He charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. And the priest shall go forth out of the camp (Heb. 13:13) Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp, bearing His reproach.

(Lev. 16:15) Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is
