Jesus’ Last Words Reveal a Biblical Secret

admin 0

The purpose of this article is to answer two questions.

1. What were the last words of Jesus on the cross?

2. Who really said those words?

To answer both questions and shed some light on what Jesus actually said and meant, let’s look at the Aramaic text and consult two expert translators of ancient Aramaic, Dr. George Lamsa and Dr. Rocco Errico. “Why should we care about Aramaic when we have the King James Bible, written in English?” You can ask.

The answer is that Jesus spoke Aramaic. Aramaic is an oriental language full of idioms and rhetorical figures. Many passages in the King James Bible that seem confusing and contradictory are just mistranslations from the Aramaic. For example, in Luke 14:26 Jesus says, “If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father and mother, and his wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and also his own life, he cannot be my disciple.”

Is this the same Jesus who taught love and tolerance? Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:44 (KJV) “But I say to you: love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who despitefully use you and persecute you.”

The problem is that when the King James Bible was written, the translator did not understand the intended meaning of a word in that verse and that changed the entire meaning of the verse. It’s the Aramaic word, “sna.” It is a word with 5 meanings. Just as there are words in English with multiple meanings, there are words in Aramaic with multiple meanings.

Although one of the meanings of the word “sna” is “to hate” or “to loathe”, it also means “to stand upright”, “to put out a candle or a light”, “to thresh” and to stand by one’s side”. (according to Dr. Errico in his book, “Let There Be Light, the Seven Keys”)

Considering other quotes from Jesus about love and forgiveness, it’s easy to see that he was using the latter meaning of the word, “to put by one’s side.” In other words, to follow Jesus, one had to be willing to leave his family behind. Jesus was a radical religious leader who was at odds with the powerful Pharisees, during dangerous times. He knew that some mothers and fathers would try to discourage their sons and daughters from following him, so he made it clear that as much as his followers love their parents, there might come a time when they would have to choose between their loved ones and Jesus. . .

Seeing how one word with multiple meanings can cause so much confusion, is it any wonder that Jesus’ last words on the cross, a time of great fear, confusion, and anguish for his followers, presented such an opportunity for misquotation and misunderstanding?

We must also remember that Jesus was a good Jew who kept the Law of Moses. At that time, when a pious Jew was dying, he or she used to recite Psalm 22, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my roar??? Therefore, many people believe that this is what Jesus said as he died on the cross.

According to the Gospel of Matthew, including all of the Greek Gospels, Jesus cried out in his own native Aramaic tongue, “Eli, Eli, l’mana Sabachtani?” Note that it is phrased as a question and the gospels kept it in the original Aramaic.

If these words are considered as a question, then it seems that Jesus is doubting why he is suffering and questioning the Father. According to Dr. Errico, this phrase could also be considered a statement from Jesus. He believes it was a victory cry from Jesus that made him realize that God’s plan was taking place exactly as planned.

Jesus may actually have said “El’, el’, l’mana shwaqthani”, which means “O God, oh God, for what purpose have you kept me!”

According to Dr. Lamsa, in the Lamsa Translation of the Bible, the verse is “About the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, ‘Eli, Eli, l’mana Shabakthani,’ which means, ‘My God. , my God. , this is why I was saved!” Dr. Lamsa actually footnoted the last part of this to indicate that it means: “Because this was my destiny!”

Once again, most of the confusion stems from one word with multiple meanings, the Aramaic word ‘shawaqthani.” Found in Psalm 22, this word means “let me live” or “forgive me.” abandon. Dr. Lamsa was a native of Assyria and spoke fluent Aramaic as well as understanding the customs of the Orientals. The people of that region use the phrase “l’mana shawaqthani” to confirm their own destiny. The root of the word, “shawaq”, i.e. found in Romans 11:4 can mean “to keep” or, as in Matt: 6:12, “forgive”.

Taken in the context of the rest of Jesus’ teachings, I think he was in fact saying, in many words, “This is what I have lived for and this is my destiny.”

Which brings us to our second question, “Who actually said those words?” I know it was Jesus of Nazareth hanging on the cross, but Jesus himself told us that the things he did were actually done by the “Father” through Jesus.

In my book, “Your Loved Ones, Your Self; Finding and Raising the Inner Family,” I present the evidence, both scientific and religious, for the three parts of human consciousness, the subconscious or lower self, the conscious mind or self. middle, and Higher Self, or Loved Ones. I call them Beloveds because our own Higher Self has two parts or natures, one paternal and one maternal. We are a projection of his love and they are our connection to the inscrutable God.

The Essenes were a nature-loving sect living at the time of Jesus. They called themselves, “The Children of Light.” The many references to light and the Father by Jesus and his disciples indicate that they were influenced by the teachings of the Essenes. The Essenes in turn were influenced by Huna, an ancient religion that spread from Africa throughout the East and finally to the Pacific islands where it is practiced to this day. In Huna we find a model for the 3 parts of consciousness that I mentioned earlier.

Evidence for this belief in a parental Higher Self that is above us and creates using light can be found in James 1:27, “Every good and perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of change”.

It seems that Jesus and his disciples recognized the Higher Consciousness in each of us and spoke of God and the Father In James 1:27 there is a clear reference to God Y the father. “Religion pure and spotless before God and the Father is this…” This is a clear distinction between God and a Higher Being referred to as “the Father.”

Jesus himself made the distinction when quoted in John 20:17: “Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and to your Fathers, and to my God.” and your God.” (The King James Bible and the Aramaic translation agree on this critical verse.)

A fuller and more detailed explanation of this can be found in “Your Loved Ones, Your Self; Finding and Raising the Family Within”, Infinity Publishing 2007.

Our Loved Ones, our Higher Self, are projected into this world as human beings. Each one of us has a Father in heaven, in other words, a Higher Self within. We have a purpose in life chosen by our Higher Self. While the physical body of the man Jesus died, the joyous cry of his Higher Self, his Father who had worked through him throughout his life, cried out for joy, letting the world know that he had accomplished his mission, through his son, Jesus. That is the answer to who spoke the last words of Jesus on the cross. He was the Father, his own Higher Consciousness. It is the same Higher Consciousness that each one of us shares and that is part of an inscrutable creator. We can communicate with that Higher Being and it is our link with God. At that level we have some understanding of God.

But just as Jesus taught us the lesson of vicarious atonement, he also taught us, as in the Our Father, to pray and talk to our Father, who is in heaven, who is with God and is part of that kingdom, but No god. Through that Higher Being, each one of us can approach and connect with an inscrutable creator and that is what the last words of Jesus demonstrated. His Higher Consciousness, his Father, was speaking not only to this world, but also to God.
