Why Jesus Returned

By Peter Walton

For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. - Matthew 12:40 The premise of this book is that during these three days, Jesus was bombarded with images from Satan of future human events, trying to convince him that he should not return to the Earth versus images from God's angels showing him future human events to convince him to return. Here's a few examples of the over forty chapters of the book: "I Wear the Chain I Forged in Life;" "Alone with the Sky, Nature, and God;" "That Others May Live;" "The Evolution Scam;" "Broken Down Computers."

33 AD: The Most Important Day in the Earth’s History

Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all of the land unto the ninth hour. (Matthew 27:45 KJV)

I thirst. (John 19:28 KJV)

When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." (John 19:30 KJV)

Matthew 27—Jesus was crucified on Good Friday. He was wrapped in linen and covered in ointments and sealed in a sepulcher of Joseph. Then the next day, Pontius Pilate ordered his guards to seal the stone and to guard the tomb. The next day, Mary Magdalene and a few others went to the tomb and found it empty.

The angels often sang excerpts from Christian songs, a technique that Jesus could see actually soothed the head of the dark forces and guided him to return so that his followers could sing along.

For the farthest corners of the earth

Still his mercy reaches

Even to the pain we cannot see

Even through the darkness

There’s a promise that will keep us

There is one who came to set us free

Great God

Wrap your arms

Around this world tonight

Around the world tonight

And when you hear our cries

Sing through the night

So we can join in your song

And sing along

We’ll sing along

Dedication of the Followers

This chapter has both Satan to Yeshua and Angels to Yeshua images and a total of three details.

SATAN TO YESHUA:

In Rome alone, Christians will be burned to produce light at night in a sport (scene from the movie Paul, Apostle of Christ²) in the same way that your followers are fed to the lions and/or the chariots as a spectacle.

ANGELS TO YESHUA:

Jesus is the only way to the Father. In this same movie, at the last minute, Luke is removed from a group of Christian men, women, and children about to be fed to the lions to examine the prison warden’s daughter as he is a physician. He prays with them that their pain will be brief, followed by the joy of being with God in heaven, and he also asks them to pray for the men who sent them to this arena. Earthly troubles are a regular occurrence, but how you handle them and if you turn to God in prayer will determine your residence after your brief stay on earth is over.

Tell Your Heart to Beat Again

Danny Gokey³

Tell your heart to beat again

Close your eyes and breathe it in

Let the shadows fall away

Step into the light of grace

Yesterday’s a closing door

You don’t live there anymore

Say goodbye to what you’ve been

And tell your heart to beat again

Excavating Jesus: Beneath the Stones: Behind the Texts by John Dominic Crossan and Jonathan L. Reed⁴ p. xvi:

Archeological discovery:

p. 2: The Caiaphas Ossuary. In November 1990, construction workers building a water park in the Peace Forest south of Jerusalem’s Old City broke through a burial cave sealed since 70 AD. The name Caiaphas was crudely scratched in Aramaic on an ornately decorated ossuary, a box hewn of soft limestone in which bones of the deceased were reburied. Caiaphas was the high priest of Sanhedrin who led the conviction of Jesus.

Exegetical discovery:

p. 7: The Dead Sea Scrolls of a sectarian group that separated itself from the priests of Jerusalem’s Temple to live communally. Taken from eleven caves in 1947—some texts relatively complete, some severely damaged, some in tens of thousands of fragments.

exegete defined: one who practices exegesis; noun: exposition, explanation, or critical interpretation of text.

ANGELS TO JESUS: Consider the discovery of where Moses received the Ten Commandments!

The God of the Mountain: The True Story Behind the Discoveries at the Real Mount Sinai. Jebel al Lawz mountain in Saudi Arabia:⁵ by Penny Cox Caldwell.

p. 3. Foreword: Jim, Penny, and their two children answered the call of the Lord and followed the ancient writings of Moses on the most amazing adventure of modern times…What Jim and Penny found…is the very mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments, where Aaron fashioned the golden calf, where Moses built the Exodus 24:4 altar and twelve pillars, and where God stood in the pillar of fire when Moses struck the rock that would supply the Hebrew slaves with life-giving water.

p. 10: The two giant slabs of granite so high above us with the (almond) tree standing in between seemed for the world to be a symbol of the event that had shaken the earth; the delivery in flames of fire of the Law of the Almighty—the Law written by His own hand.

p. 410: the tree…lives on in spite of the harsh desert climate. It clings tenaciously to the surrounding rocky face of this mountain, set apart and defiant against the elements…A vibrant tree, pulsing with the residue of the glory of the Lord that once rested upon this place. A living sign that the Source of all life, and the sustaining thereof, is still there!

Living by Faith (Martin Luther)

This chapter has both Satan to Jesus and Angels to Jesus images and a total of two details.

SATAN TO JESUS:

Even after the Italian government recognized Christianity as the nation’s religion in the fourth century, how could they be practicing Christianity when they were in many cases receiving indulgences to acquire money from their congregations who they wouldn’t even let read the Bible?

ANGELS TO JESUS:

The just shall live by faith saying swept across Europe, migrated to North America, and the rest of the world.

The Gifts and Ministries of the Holy Spirit by Lester Sumrall:⁶

p. 148 Martin Luther changed a continent by the force and strength of one Bible truth: The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17 KJV).

Martin Luther Wikipedia biography:

Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the Catholic view on indulgences. Luther proposed an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his Ninety-five Theses of 1517. His refusal to renounce all his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520…resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Holy Roman Emperor.

Martin Luther quotes (www.brainyquote.com):

Everything done in the world is done by hope.

Next to theology, I give music the highest place of honor.

Grant the Holy Spirit the honor of being more learned than you are. For you are to deal with scripture in such a way that you bear in mind that God himself says what is written. But since God is speaking, it is not fitting for you to wantonly turn His word in the direction you wish to go.

Amazing Grace

⁷

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come

’Tis grace that brought me safe thus far

And grace will lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we first began

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow

The sun forbear to shine

But God who called me here below

Shall be forever mine

5-Star Hatred: The Importance of God’s Word

This chapter has both Satan to Yeshua and Angels to Yeshua images and a total of 2 Details.

SATAN TO YESHUA:

Look at what your going back will mean for many of your believers due to their desire to read your words of scripture in the Bible. Think of all the pain my minions will inflict.

DETAIL 1:

Details of this chapter from the movie The Forbidden Book:⁸

When John Wycliffe translated the Bible from Latin to English so that the masses could read the scriptures on their own, he was under threats from the established Catholic hierarchy. One of the highlights in my world was when his bones were dug up in 1428, forty-four years after his death, then burned by order of the pope! That’s five-star hatred: my honor roll.

ANGELS TO YESHUA:

What led up to the Roman Catholic church making Latin the only language the Bible could be written in showed the power of your words and your Father’s words. After your earthly death, Hebrew and Greek scribes spent their working lives recording the words. By the year 400, the Bible had been translated into 500 languages. Every single word was scrutinized then presented with care.

SATAN TO YESHUA:

Then to start the 1,000 years of the Dark Ages, the Roman Catholic church said that the Bible could only be written in Latin. Only a handful of priests had access, and the pope was declared God’s sole agent, one hundred thousand prostitutes employed by the church so they could build magnificent cathedrals—indulgences so that the flock could buy their way to heaven! Brilliant. Who could make these actions?

ANGELS TO YESHUA:

There will always be your children doing whatever it takes to honor and promote the kingdom. The Bible college started in year 563 in Northern Scotland which led to the Culdees secret society to continue your word and keep the flame burning during the darkness. The invention of the moveable type printing press in 1455 by John Gutenberg in Germany, creating the Gutenberg Bible, possibly the most beautiful of all of the magnificent versions of the word.

William Tyndale’s translating of the Bible into English in 1526. This was in Worms, Germany, then he shipped 6,000 copies to England. Born in 1494 in Gloucester, England, he spoke eight languages.

SATAN TO YESHUA:

Stop right there. William Tyndale who, because of his efforts, spent the last 500 days of his earthly life in a cold prison cell, then was burned at the stake 10/06/1536, partly for his statement to the archbishop. The boy who runs the plow will know more scripture than you. The reign of terror by Queen Mary after she succeeded her father, King Henry VIII, when in her four years of rule, 300 of the leading Lutherans were burned at the stake.

ANGELS TO YESHUA:

Men of God have no fear. Although they are in the world, they are of God. Look at William Tyndale’s last statement as he was burned at the stake: "Lord, open the eyes of the king of England.’ Only God could have influenced King Henry VIII to have 20,000 copies of William Tyndale’s English Bible printed and distributed to every church in England.

10/31/1517, All Saints Day: Consider the effects of Martin Luther posting his 95 Theses on the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany. 4/17/1521 at the Cathedral of Worms. He had a ten-second speech on what he thought would be the day he was burned at the stake which ended with scripture is my authority.

The last screen in The Forbidden Book: It is impossible to mentally or socially enslave a Bible reading people (Horace Greeley, 1852).

SATAN TO YESHUA:

Look at the increasing commitment to me via atheism increasing in the early 1910s with the God Builders in Russia, the 1950s with Mao Tse Tung in China, and continuing with the technological addicts.

DETAIL 2:

From More Than a Carpenter by Josh and Sean McDowell:⁹

How can you explain nineteenth century German rationalist Karl Venturini’s swoon theory, claiming that Jesus didn’t really die, he merely fainted from exhaustion and loss of blood? To return to a people with this arrogance?

The New Atheists actually celebrate the death of God (p. 47). If the New Atheists get their way, freedom of religion will be a relic of the past. (p. 48)…religion is based upon faith alone," whereas atheism requires no faith commitment since it relies primarily upon the empirical evidence of science (p. 49).

ANGELS TO YESHUA:

You only have to look to the transformation of the apostles when you returned to visit them the Monday after your Friday crucifixion: On the day of the crucifixion, they were filled with sadness; on the first day of the week, with gladness. At the crucifixion, they were hopeless; on the first day of the week, their hearts glowed with certainty and hope. When the message of the resurrection first came, they were incredulous and hard to be convinced, but once they became assured, they never doubted again (p. 99).

And we will always leave signs that point to you. Consider in 1975 when over 200 biblical manuscripts, including
