Transfiguration in the Church
or making earthly into heavenly men: turning 4 into 7
To enter the United States, one needs a green card; to enter eternity, one needs a white dress or an ID card with the numbers seven (7) or twelve (12) on it.
Blind, deaf, and not caring to learn the Truth, or people with an ID card number 5 need miracles(14):
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Here are the original words from Graham Nash’s song (1971) that speak volumes about how we deal with the uncertainty of life while the mirror (Truth) is free:
How does it feel
When life doesn't seem real
And you're floating about on your own
Your life is uncertain
So you draw the curtain
Pretending there's nobody home——————————Jericho
But don't theorize
Look in your eyes
They can't tell lies
Though you disguise what you see
The mirror is free
But we once had a savior
But by our behavior
The one that was worth it is gone
Songbirds are talking
And the runners are walking
A prodigal son is coming home
And don't theorize
Look in his eyes
They won't tell lies
But if he defies what you see
He'll give you the key
Be yourself
We needed a tutor
So built a computer
And we programmed ourselves not to see
The truth and the lying
The dead and the dying
A silent majority
But don't theorize
Look in their eyes
Are they telling lies
The ones that they learned on TV
What a way to be free
Making mistakes in our job is tolerated as long as we stay a “net positive.”
But how do we know we are net positive with the Lord?
Abram wanted to know the answer to that question as well.
God can not trust man's word; hence, he needs proof that we mean it.
After winning the battle with sin, or chasing out the five kings who occupied the kingdom of four: Heart (H), Mind (M), Soul (S), and the Body (location of your tree), and stripping us of the identity card with the Lord (ID), the Lord came to Abram to show him the gate to Heaven, or transforming four into 7:
7 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8 And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
These are instructions on redeeming our sins: three animals for each M, H, and S, a dove and pigeon (male and female birds), or five animals for sins.
Heifer, the strongest of the three, represents the Heart; goat is she, which means Soul, the weakest of the three; and Mind is the ram. Note two horns in M and S. (Jesus will divide goat from the sheep- Souls)
As in the film Up in the Air, starring George Clooney, birds are heavenly creatures, denoting the sacrifice of Jesus and Mary to make up for Adam and Eve's mistakes. They should not be cut in half; they are the Truth.
We can observe this from many layers: Years make nine or 3x3, the number of Covenant; two birds mean fallen humans, Adam and Eve, or sacrificial offerings for 29. In total, there are five offerings. Two of these have four horns ( on the altar from Moses).
We should, therefore, cut all of our thoughts (M), words (coming from the Heart), and deeds (S) in half in the manner of 3-3, three on each side, which makes a total of 8 pieces, or 6+2. Without the pigeon and dove, we would stay at number 6 or Death.
Cutting in half means analyzing everything from the left and right perspectives, determining what is right and wrong, what is Truth, and what is a lie. What belongs to Earth, and what to Heaven?
Sin separates from the Truth so we need to let the Truth pass through those pieces:
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him.
13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.
14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.
15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi[e] of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates
That day of a covenant is marked by 9 (18), representing the beginning of the Church. In his deep sleep, the Lord came and predicted for people number 4 (13th line) a measure of time of 400 (or 4000?) years before the final punishment. If Abram lived around 2000 BC, then 4000 is just about now.
The magic happens in the darkness, in the narrow path between these offerings, in a deep sleep when we are not in charge:
We break the offerings of our Hearts, Minds, and Souls in half, just like Jesus broke bread and allowed the Lord to pass through them. The more we break into halves, the better we become, so by eating bread, we let the Truth pass through those offerings, but if we offer nothing, nothing miraculous happens.
The same as making a decision; we have to cut through the overwhelm in a fearful moment, not a pleasant happy clap-along party or “all you need is love” lies:
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
In the New Testament, Luke Chapter 9 presents the reflection of the same event that highlights a key moment in the life of a new Church: the New Covenant, a new approach to sacrificial offerings for our sins.
The Transfiguration
28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray.
29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him.
33 As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.
35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.”
36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.
The passage starts with 28 or 10= X or the end/death (Abram’s Chapter 15 or 6, which is death). The following number is 8, which prepares for the events concerning eternity:
Peter (M), John (S), and James(H) of the New Testament are Abram(M), Isaac(S), and James(H) of the Old Testament.
Jesus came to transform people 2 (29th line) into 7 (34th line), and once again, like in the story with Abram, the disciples fell into a deep sleep. Peter is the group leader at number 5, while Elijah and Moses are number 3 (divine-like). Peter stands alone against Jesus.
Again, in line 33, the offerings made to the Lord are:
(3) three from this Earth (Peter, James, and John) and (3) three from Heaven (Moses, Elijah, and Jesus in Heavenly Glory).
Heavenly Church against the Church on Earth, and the Lord overshadows them.
The heavenly Church discusses the exodus from the land of falsehoods, transforming four into seven. This is the Covenant that the Lord established with the new Church.
The new evangelization: Listen to him!
Cutting animals in half has become obsolete, but the idea remains the same: break and eat bread, or break your will, thoughts, and deeds in half and allow the Lord to pass through them. Here’s why the Catholic and Orthodox Churches celebrate Saints: when we celebrate Mass, we unite with the Church in Heaven through the transfiguration of bread into Jesus. We transform from 4 to 7 or 4+3, allowing the Lord to enter our kingdoms and rule there.
Submitting to the rule of the Truth is a fearful/dreadful moment where we are not in control but trust the process. In the darkness of frightening moments, the Lord comes and gives instructions.
A crucial moment here is about dividing, not uniting everything. First, we divide the offerings, and then God, the Lord, makes us one in the Truth. Therefore, messages from Medjugorje and other satanic places that preach fake peace and unity contrary to the Word of the Lord: Listen to me, offer what you believe is right and wrong, and He will burn away what is not correct. We cannot heal ourselves or create unity. This same notion is akin to communism: brotherhood and sisterhood.
In the 1960s, at the Vatican II summit, Catholic church leaders coined “new evangelization” and presented it as the “original” idea for implementing widespread destruction of knowledge and tradition. Breaking altars is what followed in a manner of Schumpeter’s creative destruction, not Abram’s Covenant with the Truth.
This is where the Protestant church came from in the 16th century. In 4000 years or 2000 years from Jesus, 500 is a quarter of the time only:
This Sunday, March 16, 2025 (1+6+3 is X+9), the end of the Covenant or Earth, the Catholic Church offered these Words as a solution for X or termination of the contract.
The Old Testament passage finishes with the 18th line, and the New Testament passage finishes at the 36th line, or 9-9, at age Abram was told he found “friendship” with the Lord.
Nine is the number of a covenant.
These days, in church, many foolish virgins make a covenant with the numbers 2 or 5 or celebrate 29 or 59, leaving their marks in symbols such as this (taken from two Catholic churches):
Enemies from all sides surrounded Israel; no place was exempt from the works of the devil.
Transfiguration, or transforming four into 7 (by adding three or multiplying by three, which is even better), occurs through the works of the Holy Spirit (a dark cloud during the day and a smoking firepot at night). In the book of Revelation, Jesus speaks to seven Churches. Some are better than others, but all have sins to rectify before he returns.
Even in witchcraft or masonic lodges, they understand the deeper meaning of the 3-3 number and the division in half, so they have these two pillars where the Head of Masons pass through, mimicking the God:
CONCLUSION:
The line between death and life cuts directly through our Heart, Mind, and Soul. One half belongs to Life, while the other belongs to death, so we must divide everything, offer it to God, and, through prayer and communion, allow the transfiguration to occur: let the Lord pass through us and make us whole. Or, Jesus was standing alone, against the Peter in the end.
The more we cut in half and offer to the Lord, the more transformation happens. God will not force anyone to love him; love includes freedom to listen or not, just like Adam and Eve had a choice to choose the Tree of Life or learn to cut between good and evil.
We got what we wanted, being godlike, and now is a chance to become that.
Pretending the Truth does not exist is wishful thinking, a way to avoid reality: the fear of the Lord, the fear of decision-making, and the fear of being wrong.
For the majority, making decisions or cutting in half and choosing are crossroads they avoid at all costs. Others guided by wicked Hearts, make decisions never thinking twice about right and wrong.
Choosing and making a mistake is frightening, a cross we run away from.
After the three disciples heard the Lord, Peter immediately offered his interpretation of the event: let’s build the church walls /tents and not transform the Souls for Heaven (what the Lord meant). It isn't easy to listen and let the Truth be our guide and not have our ideas of what should be done.
Our solutions are usually meant for this world, not the next: building houses, not Truth. Our Hearts light up when we see a new car, but not that much when we learn something new. We want the safety of a tent, to keep the good moment forever in a box just for us.
Breaking our will is the key to why we pray and celebrate the Mass: first, we break five into four (confession), and then Jesus (3), in bread and wine, passes through our Heart, Mind, and Soul and transfigures four into seven.
The majority of people would rather die than change their Minds, admit a mistake, or cut in half anything within themselves.
It is that kind of disease, a sick Heart: being right is better than knowing the Truth. When we do not understand the Scriptures but immediately apply our interpretation of them, that is a Heart problem, not a Mind problem. Listening is the most challenging task, and there is no love without listening first (read here)
The foundation of the Church is listening to the Word of God, not making up fake interpretations in the Vatican II style.
When God Himself introduced new evangelization, He was crucified; yet when corrupt Church leaders present new evangelization in the end times, we worship it as the Word of God.
