The mindset of Yeshua while hanging on the tree at Golgotha reveals that he did not die and get buried for three days, then get resurrected bodily. Think on the 'words' which Yeshua spoke while talking to a fellow criminal who was next to him at Golgotha. Again, his 'words' were the following:
If these words were spoken (as I presume they were while Yeshua was hanging on the tree) then it means that Yeshua expected to die and ascend to Paradise immediately at the point of death. He said the words TODAY you (my criminal friend) will be in Paradise (as I will be in Paradise). There is no expectation of dying and then getting buried for three days and then getting bodily resurrected. This further supports my view that Yeshua's spirit was 'glorified' immediately at the point of his death (passing). TODAY must mean today (this day). What else could this mean?
The behavior of Yeshua (in the NOW) reveals more than words in a book which got written by theologians decades AFTER his death. The three day death theory and then a bodily resurrection does not ring true. What happens, in reality, is that a human being gets translated to the spiritual realm immediately upon dying (passing). Absent the body present with God! Assuming that God the Father allows this translation/glorification. God would need to act at the point of one's death (passing).
The mindset of Yeshua at Golgotha was that his Father God would translate his real self (his spirit self) to the spiritual realm TODAY. The idea of a bodily resurrection (some three days later) does not appear as a valid theory to Yeshua while hanging on the cross. His God, Yahweh, was capable of saving his anointed at the point of death (passing). The thief (a criminal) did not need more than a few 'words' from Messiah Yeshua to be assured of his trip to Paradise. TODAY must mean today! What else can this mean?
The theory in the Gospels assumes that Yeshua/Jesus must die and then get buried (for three days) and then get bodily resurrected to prove his new life (after death). This implies that Yeshua must get buried with a body that is deformed, bloody, and beaten. A sword is thrust in his belly/side prior to being removed from the tree. Is this a logical mindset of Father God for his anointed servant? Does this sound logical for the Creator of all human beings to act in this manner? What would be the purpose of this sordid ordeal?
Good question. If Yeshua was buried after his removal from the tree he must have been alive in the spirit as his body was laying in the tomb. What would be the purpose of this three day ordeal? Would Father God want his anointed servant to perform some activities while buried in the tomb? None of this seems logical to me. The better alternative was for Father God to translate his anointed servant immediately at the point of death. His spirit consciousness could be continued as his real self was spiritual. TODAY you will be with me in Paradise (these words) make sense as this means that Yeshua assumed his translation to happen immediately at point of death. What else could this mean?
The mindset of Yeshua on the tree centered on his God. He desired to please his God in all that he did. As a Jew from Nazareth he recognized his God as Yahweh. Those of us who read English scripture are used to the title Father God. Yeshua, however, was an Aramaic Jew who did not speak English. His language was Aramaic and probably Hebrew. The last words of this anointed person were the following (in English):These words reveal the REAL Yeshua/Jesus to me. He was fully human. He was a servant of a Higher God. He was a Jew, a Rabbi, a Teacher, a Prophet, and a Messiah. He was not God...but a servant of God. His words reveal his character and his mindset. He was fully human. There is no need for further theories by theologians who desire to create doctrines and dogma. Religion has distorted this reality and made this person into an IDOL. It's amazing that so few can comprehend these issues. Deception must be the problem.
