2 Introduction At this time in the history of the people of Israel our Father has revealed a parable which was written about 2000 years ago for some of us today. It is the parable in Mark 8 wherein a blind man was restored to His sight. The parable is about a man who was spiritually blind, about a man who did not know his Father. He was brought to Yahshua, because Father, through the disciples, drew him. His spiritual blindness was so complete that he was not aware of his blindness and therefore he could not ask Yahshua to be healed but the disciples they did it for him, asking Him to touch him. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Man does not come to his Father through his own will, as his will is the essence of his self consciousness, but man is drawn by Him and when he is drawn he will come to see Him Manifested, but only when he has passed his lowest level of self respect, which is the absence of self. This is happening at the present time within a relative few who have reached their utter blindness and are dying. As the disciples in the time of Yahshua brought the blind man to Him, I have brought those to Him who read this writing and pray Him to touch them. The Parable Mark 8:22-26 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. Bethsaida Yahshua came to Bethsaida, which was a coastal town just north on the Sea of Galilee and east of the river Jordan. When we look at the geographic map of Palestine, which is presently called Israel, one can imagine the Jordan River to be a man with the Sea of Galilee as his head and the Dead Sea on the bottom as his belly. In the paper The Judge Dan much of the meaning of this man is explained, about his rise, his fall and his resurrection. It is not the story of every man, but of those who descend from the man Israel. In The Judge Dan is also shown the wonderful meaning of the name Jordan, which is: The Highest is Leading on the Pathway of Life. Our Father is the Sovereign of our body, He is the Highest and He leads us, through His Manifestation or, Him Manifested or, Yahshua, to Life. Page 2 of 7

3 The meaning of the name Galilee is explained in the paper Galilee as to be: The Complete Sovereignty Revealed. The Sea of Galilee pictures the head of the man, it is thus in our head wherein we will be revealed all the things of Him, as He comes from the presence of our heart. Therein, in our head, it is symbolised, and effected, will He take up His residence right in the middle of our brains in our Holy of Holies, the diencephalon. The dictionaries give as the meaning of the name Bethsaida, the House of Fishing. This meaning is correct and is supported by the likelihood that in the time of Yahshua many in this coastal town earned their living with fishing. However, this given meaning as the House of Fishing obscures a much deeper meaning. The name Bethsaida are the two Hebrew words: בית צידה beth-tsaida. When we look closely to the paleo Hebrew pictures of the letters of these two words, we come to a much deeper understanding. The word בית beth, or House, means: Within (ב) a Covenant (ת) is Made. (י) This is the proper meaning of any House as a House divided cannot stand. By extension, and in the context of the word Bethsaida, it means man s skull, because there in his consciousness He spoke to man and made the covenant. But it is also there, within the confinement of his logic, whereto man is banned. There, in his reasoning, he needs to work the ground to make his six days full in order to become fulfilled, but through the death of self whereby also his reasoning dies. The House of Desire The word צידה tsaida, or Fishing, means: By the Working (י) of Desire (צ) the Door (ד) will be Revealed (ה) 1. By extension it means, that by man s life long quest, through his making of choices, thus in him eating his fruits of Good and Evil (Working) and so answering his desires in order to become fulfilled (Desire), that his self dies, then he will be granted to see (Revealed) the Door (Door), the Manifested Father within him. To put the two words Beth and tsaida together, one can say that the name Bethsaida means that a covenant is made within man, which expresses itself in man as: man s desire to become full-filled. As man cannot fulfil himself, this desire will ultimately kill his idea of self in order that he will see the power of his desire instead of the things his flesh was attracted to. He will then come to see the One who sired him, Yahshua, the Manifested Father, within him and AS him. This is the true Authority of the Head, this is the House, the Covenant wherein He sires to be our Desire. The brief meaning of the name Bethsaida should therefore be: The House of Desire 2. 1 One may see that the hard work of a fisherman will be rewarded with food which sustains him. The word צידה tsaida, or fishing expresses therefore the deeper meaning as: desire. 2 The English word desire holds also the key to the understanding of man s transformation to his destiny. Desire is formed by two words, de and sire. To sire means, to beget or to acquire. In truth, it is only our Father who can sire. The prefix de comes from the Latin de, meaning down, down to the bottom, totally or completely, it has the function of undoing or reversing a verbs action. When we desire, and this concerns all our desires, it is not our desire but Father s de-sire as He is our, so called, hidden identity. He sires, He is siring Himself by giving Himself away completely (de). In other words, He begets or acquires us (sire), by emptying Himself in us (de), filling us with His Glory. We on the other hand are Him begotten and we experience His siring as a feeling of attraction which leads us to fulfillment. Desire is indeed our Father s experiential power in us, leading us towards our transformation. Page 3 of 7

4 To summarise this paragraph: When man has been led by the Jordan, led by the Highest on the Pathway of Life, and has caught all his fish (exhausted all his flesh desires) in the Sea of Galilee, the Complete Sovereignty will be Revealed to him, then his Bethsaida, His House of Desire is fulfilled. He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town. We will be taken, as the blind man, by the hand of Yahshua, the manifested Father out of the town into everlasting Life. This leading by the hand is shown in Psalm 139, wherein David was led by His Hand. Psalm 139:8-10 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. It is interesting to know that the word town or city symbolizes doctrinal things 3 (hence, the Judges of old were sitting in the gates of the city to be enquired about the rules thereof.) So will we all be taken out of the doctrinal things of man or, out of the System, but not by our own will, which characterizes our blindness, but by His hand. when he had spit on his eyes Spitting is presently considered to be rude and a social taboo. However in this allegory it has a wonderful meaning. Saliva is a body fluid excreted by glands in the mouth and which main function is to help the body with the absorption of nutritients. When the blind man was spat on the eyes by Yahshua, it allegorically assisted him in his mental absorption of the spiritual nutritients which substantiated him or, in other words, it assisted him in coming to see the spiritual reality which made him, and all men, into physical human beings. When we, as blind men, are spat on our eyes by Yahshua we will also be made ready to see that we are but participating of our illusory realm of choices between right and wrong and that we are thus eating of the tree of Good and Evil. Whatsoever choices we make in life be it Good or be it Evil they are made and are thus our fruits of our tree, which is our tree of self-consciousness. This tree is our illusory realm because our blindness governs this realm. His saliva will make us ready to see where we are and where we are going to, from the tree of Good and Evil to the Tree of Life. His saliva will make us full through His work of us seeing Him from within ourselves, within His Perfected Work of our tree of Good and Evil. It is by our sight that we, as the Tree of Good and Evil, come to grow into the Spiritual Perfection of our Tree of Life. This spitting of Yahshua on the eyes of the blind man, the recording of this in innumerable bibles and read over time by a countless number of people, but generally speaking not understood, was written to picture the wonderful and ultimate event which is happening now... at this moment in time in the history of the people of Israel, at the conclusion of their sixth day, the end of their self consciousness as they experience the nadir of their blindness. An event that He spits on the eyes of a few who will 3 See in a negative, or flesh application: Isaiah 22:2 Thou art a tumultuous city and in a positive, or spirit application: Zechariah 8:3 Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth. The name Jerusalem will be the name of us, the name of our city: Revelation 3:12 I will write upon him the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down* out of heaven from my Elohim: and I will write upon him my new name. It is in our head, or in the City of Truth, or Jerusalem which is His Name and which will be Our Name, where His doctrine of Life will be established. *Note: This coming down out of heaven, into our mind of doctrinal things, is shown in the context of the symbolic man with Galilee as the head and Bethsaida as the mind, because the Jordan as: The Highest is Leading on the Pathway to Life is formed north of the Sea of Galilee by precipitation ( down out of heaven ) on the slopes of Mount Hermon, and Mount Hermon, which was the place of transfiguration, symbolizes the beginning of our New Life.

When Yahshua put His hands upon the blind man for the first time, He reflected upon him as His apparent created Work, that is, man s His 6 days. He showed man in his flesh pursuit. He then asked the blind man if he saw ought. The term if he saw ought, which appears in the King James, the Geneva as well as the Tyndale bible, is correct but not well understood. The word ought comes from the old English word Ahte which means: to own or possess. In the context here in this parable it refers to beginnings where true ownership or principality is established. The question of Yahshua was therefore, if the man could tell Him who claimed ownership on that which he saw. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking The man trusted his ability and he looked up (this in contrast to the second time where he was made to look up). The man saw all men in this realm as men as trees, walking. He saw men as having a self consciousness, claiming to have a self will. This is what he saw ought as self will is man s perceived possession. Self will is man s principality, it is his domain given to him from the beginning wherein he chooses for himself what is right and wrong or good and evil, wherein he perceives to have sovereign rulership. Therefore the man in the parable saw all men walking as trees of Good and Evil as that is what they ought to, as this is their walk. That we, as trees, are walking speaks figuratively of our in-ability. Man s walk is man s way of life and, as a tree cannot walk, our walk, our way of life, is something we really cannot do. We are His perfect workmanship which He created from within where He formed our beginning and, as we are His creation or His Work, we are blinded for Him, our Father, our spirit origin, who produced us as we are now. So, we thus live the illusion that we can walk, we have the idea that we can make choices between Good and Evil to determine our walk but..., we cannot... Coming to see our inability means coming to grips with our death, our death of self and this revelation closes our His 6 days work. From this day onwards we will begin to see that in reality our 6 days work was an illusion as we come to see that not we, as flesh men, but that our Father worked 6 days. Genesis 1:31 And Elohim saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. The man in the parable saw his blindness when Yahshua touched his eyes for the first time. In like manner when He touches us, that is, when His manifestation becomes apparent to us, our perception of self dies and we will see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up When Yahshua put His hands again on the man s eyes He demonstrated to him that it was Him who gave him Light. Ephesians 5:14 arise from the dead, and the Anointed shall give thee light. Yahshua s first touch was a touch to the death of self wherein the man saw his lifelong period of blindness for the Work of the Father in Him. When Yahshua touched his eyes for the second time, He showed the man His Rest whereby the man did not have an ability to look up, but that it was Him, the manifested Father, who made him look up, as He gave him Light. At this time some of us have been given Light from the inside by their Anointed or, in the Hebrew language, by their משיה mashiyach (Messiah). The word Messiah means: The Revelation (ה) of the Destruction (ש) of Chaos (מ) through Work.(י) It is Him who has revealed His Name to some of us as He touches their eyes for the first time, and when He touches their eyes for the second time He Page 5 of 7

6 makes them look up and they See the Light. The First time is His Work, the second time His Rest. and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. The man in the parable was re-stored to the state wherein he was before he was born, wherein he knew to be ONE with the Father wherein he knew he had LIFE. As he was re-stored he then ate from Him, from the Tree of Life, and while eating he consumed Him, healing, re-storing or becoming the Life of the Tree of Life 4. And so, as he himself be-came, so saw he every man clearly. This man had seen the transformation of men as trees, walking, as Trees of Good and Evil into seeing every man clearly indeed, seeing every man as he clearly is: united as the Tree of Life. He had seen the Spirit Father re-united with the one who came out of Him, His Flesh Bride, Male and Female together, Spirit and Flesh... together. And..., as He is telling us this parable, revealing it to some of us from the inside, they, who begin to see, will see their transformation growing as their Tree of Life, but... from within. And he sent him away to his house The man in the parable was woken up to his true identity, to be the Sovereign Manifestation of Father, and was then sent to his house. He was sent to his re-stored flesh, now made perfect and undefiled, He was indeed sent into His consciousness inside his head. This man followed the same pattern as his forefather Jacob who was woken up from his blindness after his night/life-long fight with his brother Esau and was healed in Succoth (Tabernacles) and after he was healed he too was sent to His House, to Bethel, which means to The House of El. Trees show our transformation from the realm of Good and Evil to the realm of Life The Life of a Tree The green coloured pigment Chlorophyll of the leaves of a tree is a molecule which absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to synthesise carbohydrates from two opposing forces, Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and Water (H 2 O), which is a complex process called: photosynthesis. Briefly this process combines chemical compounds from Carbon dioxide and Water into sugars which sustain the life of the tree and releases oxygen as a waste product. The Spiritual reality of the Life of a Tree The colour Green of the Chlorophyll is formed by the colours Yellow and Blue. Yellow is the colour of Love and Blue is the colour of The Law. Love and Law together reflects the very character of YaHWaH and we are His reflection. Without Sun Light there is no photosynthesis and trees cannot sustain themselves. The Sun Light is the Light of the Son, The Manifested Father. This Light is the Light of Men (John 1:4). We, as His green reflection of Love and Law together, absorb the Light of the Son in order to start the process of photosynthesis which sustains us during our physical life. He Lights every man that comes into the world (John 1:1-9). This process of photosynthesis reflects our life as trees living in the realm of Good and Evil, as Good is pictured by Water, which is Life, and Evil is pictured by Carbon dioxide, which is lethal in high concentration. As we absorb the Light of the Son and eat the fruits of the tree of Good and Evil, He sustains us and as a waste product, Oxygen, or His Breath, or His Spirit Life is produced. A Note on Water and Carbon dioxide A water molecule (H 2 O) has 2 Hydrogen atoms bonded to 1 Oxygen atom. The atomic value of Hydrogen is 1 and of Oxygen 8. This reflects Life, as the Father is 1 and in the spiritual as well as in the physical realm he is 1 2 and His Manifestation is His Breath and reflected by the number 8. That means that this molecule has a total of 10 protons. Ten is the number of divine perfection and thus Good *. A Carbon dioxide molecule (CO 2 ) has 2 Oxygen atoms bonded to 1 Carbon atom. The atomic value of Oxygen is 8 and of Carbon 6. This molecule reflects man in his natural state identified and manifested by His breath 8 2 yet insufficient. This molecule has a total of 22 protons. Twenty two is the number of disorganization and disintegration and thus Evil * Numbers in Scripture by E.W. Bullinger 4 The Tree of Life are the two Hebrew words: צץ חי (ets chay), which means: To know the desire of the inner room. The word know implies to be one with, the inner room to be the skull or head, and the desire to be the Life of the Father (footnote page 3). The Tree of Life has thus the implied meaning of: To be One with the Life of Father inside the Head. Page 6 of 7

7 As the man in the parable followed the same pattern as his father Jacob, so will we all eventually follow that very same pattern. It is there in His House where Jacob, the man in the parable, and thus we all, take up residence and from Our House we will let His Light shine forth. We are then able to celebrate the Feast of Lights, our Chanukkah, which is the Hebrew word: חנכה Chanukkah (Strong s 2598) and which means: The Life (נ) of the Inner room (ח) revealed (ה) by the One who is the Least.(כ) When we have arrived in our House, which is His House, we have come to discover within us that by giving away all we have we own the All. This will then be our realization of the economy wherewith He has ruled His House, and all therein, as from the beginning. This realization will be our New Economy, the Giving Away of Self. There in Our House, Father s Covenant with man is finally materialized (Hebr.8:13) so that there in His House, which will also become the world, we will be called Isra-El (Genesis 35:10), which means El-rules, not ruling with El. saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. The account of this parable is closed with the instruction to the healed man, neither to go into the town nor to tell anyone who belongs to the town about his healing. As a town has the symbolic meaning of the doctrines of man the man was told to leave the doctrines, or the things of the world, behind. After Jacob received his sight at the dawn of his New Day (Gen.32:26) and departed for Bethel he told his household to put away the strange gods that were among them and to leave behind their earrings which bound them, or made them to listen, to the doctrines of man (Gen. 35:2-4) In like manner will they, who at the present time receive sight, follow the example of their father Jacob, an example reiterated to them by Yahshua through the instruction in the parable of the blind man. These people will neither go into the town, which means, they are not attached anymore to the doctrines of man. They will, as Jacob s company, change their garments (verse 2) and, as garments means values, this means that they will have a change of values from those values of the flesh into those of divine truth. As Jacob/Israel hid all the strange gods and the earrings of his company under the Oak, so will these present Enlightened Ones leave all their flesh considerations (company), pertaining to their Tree of Good and Evil, under the Oak Tree. And, as the Oak is the King of the trees, this indicates that it is the very realm of Good and Evil itself which they will submit to the highest of all flesh authorities, our King, who indeed has created them as Trees of Good and Evil. Then they see themselves clearly as having consummated the Tree of Good and Evil into His Rest. From then onwards they are given to eat of the Tree of Life, to be the Tree of Life. Revelation 2:7 To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Elohim. Even more so and this in conclusion of the revelation of this parable, those people, as they have submitted all their flesh considerations, which is their perception of self, to Him, will not tell it to any in the town. They will not have commune-ion with those still in the town or with the doctrines of man because they have become the New Covenant, the new set of doctrines, which is the New City and this city has come down from heaven (Rev. 3:12, 21:2) and they will be called by His Name and the Name of the city, which is the New Jerusalem, Revelation 21:27 and there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie. Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of Elohim did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Page 7 of 7
