“After that, He appeared in a DIFFERENT FORM to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country” (Mark16:12).
Is it another physical form that is being referred to here that Christ appeared in on the road to Emmaus?
If Mark16:12 is not referring to another physical form, then what form is Mark referring to there?
Now, Jesus did say:
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life/being.” (Jn6:63ESV paraphrased).
If it is the supposed “glorious” body that is being referred to here, then why did the two disciples on the road to Emmaus mistake him for a mere stranger? For, Cleopas said to Jesus on the road, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” (Luke 24:18)
The disciples were merely looking at appearances just like many of us today. If they had seen some glorious body like that of the transfigured body, then they would not have mistaken him for a stranger.
In other words, they saw Jesus in “a different [physical] form” (Mark16:12) because “the flesh is no help at all” (Jn6:63ESV).
Christ’s BEING (spirit and life) is in the Word not in appearances (Jn6:63). His sheep recognize Him by His voice (Jn10:4). Again, this is not referring to the physical voice but that of the spirit-to-spirit.
Foolish, Prudent or the Bridegroom?
The other day, i went to the Lord regarding an application for an immigration visa (EB-5) to the United States.
Thus said the Lord:
“Five of the virgins were foolish, and five were prudent.” (Matt25:2)
Now, am i to put myself in the category of the foolish, the prudent, or wow (!) the bridegroom himself just as the Lord has been impressing upon my mind and heart (disclosed here: Capstone & Christocratic New World Order & Government)?
OK, if i am the bridegroom, there are those who are waiting for me.
So thus said the Lord to me:
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.” (Matt13:45-46)
I had earlier thought it would be as simple as buying that visa, in faith! But now i realized it does not come that easy even if we dump big dollars into the US Treasury.
Nonetheless, if a tea wala can become PM of India, so can this Engineer “become” the Capstone!
