John 6:41-71

[Jim Watt]

Dear Friends - 2011-07-07

These days I am not writing up new articles to mail, because of the pressure
to finish the final proof-reading of this Interlinear text of the Gospels
just prior to printing. However - in proof-reading the following portion, I
felt many of you would appreciate receive it with the Notes once again,
prior to publication. Jim Watt

HOUtos gar Emel-len pa-ra-diDOnai [3860] auTON, heis ek t*o*n D*O*de-ka.

*for he it was that should deliver him up, one of the twelve.*


 *NOTE: *This passage of John 6:41-71, is perhaps one of the most
controversial of all of Jesus' teachings. The very fact that Moses in his
Levitical teaching from God, forbade the drinking of blood, would pose a
problem for Jews. But of course, like in dreams and visions, Jesus is here
speaking metaphorically, not literally. Just as we are *not* to take dreams
literally, but symbolically; so we are to see that Jesus is here speaking of
feeding on *His Word*, and drinking of *His Spirit*. By all means make a
life-time investment in the purchase of “Dreams - The Divinity Code” - 'The
Keys to Decoding your Dreams and Visions' by Adrian Beale and Adam F.
Thompson. It has been called “The Ultimate Bible-based dream interpretation
guide,” and can be purchased through *<www.thedivinitycode.org>*.


 Recently these two Australian brothers visited the United States, and will
be retuning in November, as well as to Canada. One friend of mine has made
good use of “The *Metaphor* Dictionary” - perhaps the key portion of this
text, and is now satisfactorily interpreting her own dreams, plus those of
her friends. We can cease to depend on others to interpret our dreams, and
go to God directly for solving His messages to us. Up till now the majority
of texts on dream interpretation have been based on Karl Jung, and his
esoteric and occult background. I ceased teaching for a time on dream
interpretation, because I could not obtain a text that was clearly
Bible-based. The beautiful thing is this - God has given His Bible in a mode
like dreams - it comes mostly in the form of metaphors and symbols. See the
dreams Joseph and Daniel interpreted . See the Book of Daniel and
Revelation. But the parables of Jesus are also in this mode - not to be
received literally - but by the Spirit understood symbolically and
metaphorically.


 This portion of John requires us to understand how God seeks to communicate
with us. So - both the Bible and our dreams - are gifts from God, that if
properly understood and interpreted, bring us into a living and intimate
relationship with Him! What a challenge! What an opportunity! What a
privilege!


 Now let us go back to John 6:41-71 and apply these insights. We will be
blessed by the enlightenment that will come to us. And through this
Australian dream book, not only our dreams, but the Scriptures themselves
will open up to us in a new and living way. One further thought - Consider
the above 5 subdivisions with their sentences, which are set forth by Bible
Numerics. I have summarized each sentence, gathering up their summaries into
subdivisions, paragraphs, sections and books. My summaries are
*not*inspired like the Greek text, and Panin's English translation.
Therefore I
have left a space about them, so that you may replace mine with yours,
should you deem yours better. No other NT translation has the above feature.
It is unique to the discovery of Bible Numerics by Dr. Ivan Panin in 1890.
