S-word, Elijah, John the Baptist, and their relationship to Jesus is an interesting topic to me, but I think it is getting a little too far off the topic of Jesus' resurrection. Perhaps you might want to consider starting a new thread. I'll be gone for several days to my in-laws in Japan for the New Year's holiday, so I'll check in to see what is simmering on the stove when I get back.
Perhaps you might like to take on board the fact that Moses who died at the age of 120, (Genesis 6: 3, My spirit shall not always strive with man-----yet his days shall be an 120 years) even though his eye had not grown dim and he was still capable of siring children, died because God commanded him to.
In the assumption of Moses, he was then taken to heaven to stand on one side of the throne of Godhead, while Elijah who has not yet experienced death was carried up to stand on the other side of Enoch, who is the one man to have been redeemed from the previous world, who was taken to heaven unblemished at the age of 365; there he was stripped of his mortal garment and rubbed with the sweet smelling ointment of God which shone with the brilliance of the sun, where he was placed before the Most High, girded and clothed in fire, to serve God before the body of Adam (Mankind) into all eternity. (Enoch, the anointed one)
Elisha, the successor to Elijah, received his spirit, which later entered into, and rose to life, the body of a dead youth who was thrown onto the dead bones of Elisha, and was Later seen in John the Baptist who lost his head, which was the accusing, fire and brimstone preaching compilation of that enclosure of gathered spirits, which were the same gathering of spirits as was in his cousin Jesus, the descendant of Moses.
For Jesus was the son of Joseph the son of Heli, who is descended from Nathan the son of Uriah and Bathsheba the daughter of Ammiel, the son of Obed-Edom, a descendant of Moses through his second wife, who was the daughter of Hobab the Kenite, one of the two fathers in law of Moses.
When on the mountain with his three disciples, the face of Jesus changed to be seen as Enoch, the Godhead who sits in the throne of the most high in the creation, and who was reborn on earth in the body of his obedient servant Jesus, who he chose as the heir to his throne.
In reference to the triumphant procession of God into the sanctuary of his New Temple which is being built in heaven by the spirits of those who are gathered to Jesus the cornerstone, and will be established on earth as the kingdom of God in which and from within, he will rule the whole world with justice: Psalms 68: 27, "First comes Benjamin, the smallest tribe etc," be sure to read my thread, “Did you know.”
This is taken from the last Testament of Benjamin to his children, “And I believe that there will be evil doings among you, from the words of Enoch the righteous: that ye shall commit fornication with the fornication of Sodom, and ye shall perish all save a few, and shall renew wanton deeds with women; and the kingdom of God shall not be among you, for straight way He shall take it away.
Nevertheless the temple of God shall be in your portion, and the last Temple (The Son of Man) shall be more glorious than the first (Mankind.) And the twelve tribes shall be gathered there, (At the second Temple which is that of Elijah the prophet of fire) and all the Gentiles, until the Most High shall send forth his salvation in an only begotten prophet, (Enoch, the unblemished 365 day old sacrificial lamb of God) And he shall (Descend) and enter the first temple, (The body of Jesus) and there shall the Lord be treated with outrage, and He shall be lifted up upon a tree. And the veil of the Temple (The body of Jesus) shall be rent, and the spirit of God shall pass onto the Gentiles as fire poured forth. And He shall ascend from Hades and shall pass from earth into heaven. And I know how lowly He shall be on earth, and how glorious in heaven.” See ya when ya get back James.
