There was a tower of Babel. God confused language. There are a lot of interesting words with complex meanings. Prophet is an interesting word. A Prophet is a messenger. An Angel is a messenger. Is a prophet an Angel? Let us work through some things.
- John the Baptist was known as a Prophet.
- John says he is not a Prophet. (John 1:21)
- John in Orthodox Iconography is often depicted with Angel wings.
Faith is a journey. Finding God and being "saved," saved like Ezekiel 36:26, where a man has a circumcision of the heart, and is experiencing God, that was the beginning of the journey. A lot of Christians have been in a never ending ordeal towards being saved, towards salvation, and never achieving it. They act like it was the end of the journey. Being saved was the beginning of the journey. How far will a man go?
I don't know.
I don't care.
Someone seeks God, and he follows directions.
When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. (Mark 12:25)
A lot of people may have been like the living dead. They were in darkness, a Valley of the Dried Bones. (Ezekiel 37)
What does it mean to be "Like the Angels?" There is a context there that a lot of people don't understand. John the Baptist, he may have been there.
I am a man. I eat and drink and sleep, at this time. There is a journey of faith where someone is being brought closer to God, and we are to be like the Angels. Putting words to something, and talking about it, it may be wrong. It is more about being and doing. Given someone was to say "I am Jesus," he is false. I am not Jesus. I wasn't born of a virgin. I didn't do all those miracles Jesus did. I didn't die for your sins.
I am not a god. I am man. There is only one God.
I am hitting on spiritual laws without quite defining them. Defining them would hurt me and hurt you.
There is a journey of faith. How far do you get? Given someone was to go as far as John the Baptist, they may find that it is hard.....impossible to get along, and to sustain it in This World. This World wasn't built for men of God. He who loves the world, the love of God is not in him.
Addendum -
Question: Has anyone hit the pinnacle of Faith in Christian history?
I am not to give names.
He may have ended up cloistered, and taken a vow of silence or something.
Question: Why take a vow of silence?
He became powerful in The Power of The Tongue, and there were issues with his Chain of Command. There was nothing left for him to do, but seclude himself....or he was sent into seclusion.
Also.....
If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. (1 Corinthians 13:1-10)
There is individual achievement. There is achievement as a group, a society, The Body of Christ, mankind. Given someone grew in The Power of the Tongue, past a certain point, he may not need to speak with his tongue anymore. This is individual.
For Prophecies to be ceased, there needs to be a fulfillment of the Kingdom of God, where every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess.
At times, my words feel like hammers. Writing like this, or the ability to write like this, it stays me on a journey of faith. It may be that in my personal journey, something just happens via God, and I don't blog or write anything anymore.
Question: How do you get by going up and down Jacob's Ladder without being in trouble?
God and I made some promises to each other towards the end of "God's Divine Scavenger Hunt Testimony Part III."
There was no instruction book for the things I was experiencing. I was off in some big leaps of faith. Given I found something really profound, and had to go back down the ladder a little bit, it is not a game or a toy. Given I am up again, I am up to stay.
God may not be so forgiving with someone else. It is a matter of the trial in "God's Divine Scavenger Hunt," and promises made.
Question: Given some Muslims were to make some sort of argument about Jesus eating food, what would you say?
I don't argue with Muslims here. Muhammad was a false prophet. He contradicted the prophets of the Bible. He was a blasphemer who was a possessed person. There are some "Spiritual Understandings".....not necessarily tied to Islam, but to the Middle East that Muslims inherited.
Jesus received all authority in Heaven and on Earth. When? When he was 6 years old? When he was a strapping 13 year old? When he was 22? Jesus started his ministry at the age of 30. (Luke 3:23) Jesus had to suffer many things. (Isaiah 53) He had to be tempted and go through trials. (Hebrews 4:15)
Jesus needed to fulfill very particular prophecy, and do some very particular things. It may be that during his trials on the cross, Jesus gained, in a moment, a higher level of "being" as he was dying.
It is not a competition. Working for God is like being on a racetrack. It is just a blessing to be there. On said racetrack, there my have been people through time and space God planned for. All a man has to do is stay his lane and don't fallout. It was all planned by God ahead of time.
Question: Would having an Angel body hurt?
There may be some discomfort. A man should lay back and relax, and hold tight to God.
Nothing to worry about.
Question: If someone was really angry or jealous with you, what would you?
None of you knew about any of this, and if some stated they did, they are lying or was a Knowledgeable Deceiver, a servant of Satan, leading people astray.
There is nothing to be angry about. There is an equality in trials. (James 1:2-4) A route forwards has been provided for someone.
Question: Given someone was to make the argument that a Prophet is an Angel, is he right or wrong?
Wrong. He was being a smarty pants with his own understanding.
Spiritual things are complicated and complex. Multiple things may be true at the same time, or at various points in time.
Question: Can you explain the trinity again like someone was talking to said Muslims?
I am not looking to persuade someone exactly. I am speaking the Truth, and speaking it plainly.
Picture in your mind a sword. Given someone had never seen a sword before, how do they perceive it? We are going to take some Polaroid pictures. The first picture is of a man handing the sword to someone hilt first. He has never seen a sword before. He may like that. He doesn't have the full picture of what is being handed to him. The next picture is of someone pointing the tip of the sword at the camera menacingly. Never seeing a sword before, he may not like that. It may make him scared or angry. If we take a picture of the sword on its side, so someone looking at the picture cannot see the flat of the blade, he wouldn't have the whole picture of what a sword is. How does someone perceive something? You may need the right context. Is a sword a weapon or a tool for cutting meat or cutting branches out in the yard? A man who has never seen a sword, he may not have known.
Jesus is Son of God.
Messiah.
Prophet.
There is a context for each of these. What context are we talking about Jesus in?
Jesus is at The Right Hand of God. (Mark 16:19) In this context, Jesus may be a Minister like a Prime Minister or Vizier. Joseph son of Jacob, who was a slave in Egypt, Joseph with the coat of many colors, he ended up "Vizier" or Pharaoh Minister wielding authority. There is a relationship between Joseph and Jesus.
The only way to the father is through the son. (John 14:6) Jesus received all authority on Earth and in Heaven. (Matthew 28:18)
Jesus is "The Lord," who came fulfilling the Words of the Prophets. Jesus did the Will of the father unto death.
The trinity is an easy way Christians have used to describe something, without having to get into all the details. The only way to have the full picture, it to take a leap and faith, believe in The Lord Jesus Christ and his life death and resurrection, and be seeking God towards Abiding in Christ. Now that a man is on the inside of something, with more of the full picture. Not all at once. Faith is a journey. A man takes his leap of faith, and he has the rest of his life to grow in faith and understanding with God.
Given someone is abiding in Christ, they may be flush, flush like in construction, with all scripture. We don't selectively read. It is something that comes easy and flows. The Holy Spirit flows like a river.
Question: Is there more to an understanding at being at "God's Right Hand?"
It may....."may".......have something to do with an understanding of what The Son of Man is. Why may? Christians need to be of one mind. It is not something that has been talked about.
What is Son of Man? It may be Son of Adam. Able was Son of Adam. Able was "Born due to Man's Sin." Able was the first murder. The Lord is a Shepherd. Able was a shepherd.
Ezekiel is son of man.
Jesus is son of man. Jesus talked about the Son of Man in the third person.
What do Jesus and Ezekiel have in common? They both prophesied the destruction of the Temple. They were "Born due to the sins of men." There had to be a falling away.
Be very careful here with your thoughts. Don't let them wander. You really wouldn't know unless you were "there."
Question: Does "Born due to the Sins of Men" have anything to do with a virgin birth?
Born due to the Sins of Men is more a threshold of sin was hit where God was compelled to act.
Jesus was born of a virgin.
Why would God be "compelled" to act? Man is made in the image of God. God is a King. He has a courtroom. He rules though charisma. David prior to being King, he had a War band. Through David's success and renown, he attracted warriors to him. God rules by charisma. There is spiritual law, or particular ways God judges things. God is honorable. God keeps his law. This law is not The Laws of Moses 100%. To understand it, someone may need Torah, and the Prophets, and be reading between the lines, and observing man living God in the present, and through history.
Question: Given Jesus become "More" where he was "like an angel," in the context of what is written or implied here, would it have happened on the cross, or prior to?
It may have happened at any time after the last supper, and during the arrest and trial. It is really my first time thinking about it, or working this out with God, in this context. I get things pretty close.
Question: Would Jesus needed to have been "like an angel" to perform the miracles?
No.
A man of God is Heart powered like Sacred Heart Jesus. When the woman touched Jesus robe, and he felt power coming out of him.......out of his heart area.
The Spiritual has layers like a Divine Comedy or the Atmosphere. On the ground layer, we have things physical. As you go up, we have allegories. Given someone climbs a mountain, he may get tired easier at higher elevations. There was a change. It was harder to see.
- Jesus did few miracles in his home town. (Matthew 13:58)
Performing certain miracles, like God was shepherding someone to perform some miracles, there is an individual growing in faith. Personal faith. Don't look down. Walk the line.
Performing miracles, like someone developing a healing ministry or something, and it was in God's plan for someone, he may have needed to move, he is going to go live in a city or area where no one knows him, and start developing a new identity as a servant of God. God may do works through him.
Jesus in his hometown, there were people who grew up with Jesus, and Jesus was their playmate from school or something. They didn't have faith in Jesus as a Prophet, Messiah, Servant of the God.
Saint Nicholas, when he was released from a Roman prison, he was said to travel around performing miracles.
Question: How do you know that when power came out of Jesus, it came out of his heart? (Mark 5:25-30)
Experience.
Question: If someone were to be developing faith towards performing certain miracles, are there some pitfalls or hang ups in 2026?
Cameras. Why are you recording it? There are several issues there.
Are you looking for attention like someone WANTS to be a miracle worker? Given The Lord is your shepherd, you shall not WANT.
Was someone testing God?
Was someone looking to show off to their buddies?
Did someone doubt? Recording may be looking down.
Given God was doing miracles through someone, having their image all over the internet or in books Newspapers, or wherever, that may be bad. They were a servant of God. People do blasphemous things with said images.
Question: Are you against Icons?
In Eastern Rome, around 800 AD, we have a Christian society where everyone in society was expected to go to Church and be Christian.
In 2026, in the US or France, we have a free society, where people are choosing whatever.
Iconclasm has a "Form" like Plato and the Forms. There may be a spirit there. Who would be destroying statues of Saints or the Virgin Mary today? Would that be like Satanists or Socialist in France? Would that be like Don Lemon barging into a Church to browbeat people? There is a spirit there.
Christians should not be creating images of Jesus or God the Father like the Sistine Chapel. They shouldn't be creating images of the Saints or Disciples or Prophets. Making a movie like "The Passion of the Christ" would be wrong.........however, taking a sledge hammer and destroying such images, or spraying them with paint and defaming them, that is very wrong as well. Christians need to be in agreement. Certain images may be decommissioned respectfully. This is something that needs to be addressed at a synod in the future.

Question: Could a man be performing miracles today?
Yes.
He may need to keep off the radar of the media and "greater Christianity."
Question: Would making "The Chosen" TV Series be wrong or a sin?
Actors are weirdos. Jim Caviezel, who played Jesus in the "Passion of the Christ," he has all sorts of testimony about how people attacked him, and he was ostracized. Actors in general, are weirdos. They tend to be into a lot of sins. People have known this since Ancient Greece or longer. It hasn't changed. An actor is a professional liar.
There has been a "Mysticism" in Hollywood, and around the movie/tv industry. An actor may have needed to get into "The Spirit of Something," like Heath Ledger and The Joker. Satan may have been "The Joker."

Question: Could a Christian have a Youtube channel?
Yes.
You shouldn't be having your image in it. It could be animated or something in particular ways.
When you see men that wear sunglasses, on Youtube, all the time....that tends to be a sign of something. The eyes are windows into the soul. They may have been aware of something. I wouldn't even go that far.
