- John 14:8-11 8. Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9. Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father’? 10. Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.11. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.
When Jesus taught the disciples about God and told them about God while testifying, Philip, one of the disciples, asked Jesus to show God to him. He said ‘now that I know God, I really want to see Him,’ and said that he would be satisfied and happy if Jesus showed God to him. To Philip who was asking to be shown God, Jesus said, “Anyone who has seen me has seen God.” God is ‘an Almighty Being’ and Jesus, though he was ‘the Messiah,’ was ‘a person on the earth.’ Then how can having seen Jesus be having seen God? Jesus was not ‘God Himself.’ Both his body and flesh were different. However, you have to understand his position of what he meant when he said ‘seeing him was seeing God.’
God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son do not appear directly. They appear by showing ‘the savior’ whom They use as Their body. And They appear through ‘the Word.’ “Anyone who has seen me has seen God.” This Word is something that God and the Holy Son said wearing ‘Jesus’ body.’ If the Divine just speaks, no human beings can understand those words. That is why God and the Holy Son choose ‘exactly one person in that time period’ as ‘Their body,’ and convey ‘Their Will’ while giving the Word to ‘the whole.’
A broadcasting station’s programs are transmitted through ‘radio waves.’ However, people cannot see them unless they have ‘a monitor.’ Even if God and the Holy Son give ‘the Word,’ people cannot just hear it. Therefore, the Trinity send ‘the savior of the time period.’ When the broadcasting station transmits programs through radio waves, people watch them through ‘a monitor.’ Likewise, God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son spread ‘the Word that saves the time period’ through ‘the body of the savior of the time period,’ thereby letting people see the Trinity and Their work.
“Anyone who has seen me has seen God.” Those who heard this Word but failed to understand it became slanderers and opposers who opposed Jesus to the extreme, and saying “This is blasphemous. He is telling us to see him as God the Divine,” they immediately ostracized him, treated him like a heretic, and persecuted him. By doing that, their destinies split off and went toward ‘death.’ On the other hand, those who heard that Word and understood it and believed it, rejoiced, delighted in it, and their destinies split off and went toward ‘life.’
The Original Entities of God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son cannot be seen through ‘a human body.’ Until now, throughout 6000 years of salvation history, [the Trinity] never showed ‘Their Original Entities.’ Although it is recorded in the Bible that Moses and Abraham saw God, what they saw was not ‘the Original Entities’ but what God showed them ‘at their levels’ in order to enlighten them about God. In the same way, at the time when Jesus came, even though people could not see God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son, they could always see God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son who wore a body, that is, they could always see Jesus. Because they saw that way, they saw [the Trinity] easily and often. They were satisfied. In this way, for those who saw the things that are connected as one, their destinies changed from the destiny of servants to the destiny of sons. They were ‘the high level apostles.’
‘Jesus’ mentality’ came upon the apostles and so they became ‘the second Jesus,’ and preached the New Testament gospel. After hearing the testimonies of the apostles, the people of that time period came to know that: “God, whom we waited for, has come through Jesus! He came like He promised! The history that was promised in the Old Testament, the promise of God coming, is being fulfilled in a new way through Jesus!” On the other hand, the priests under the Law, who tried to see God directly, failed to see God through Jesus. They only kept waiting continually for God to come. Ultimately, their destiny was split off and went to ‘death.’
“Anyone who has seen me has seen God.” You have to see the things that are connected as one. Destinies are split up based on this. At the time of the New Testament, those who saw the Trinity through Jesus’ body received salvation and their destiny changed into the destiny of sons. On the other hand, those who failed to see the Trinity through Jesus’ body and did not believe but treated him like a heretic, ended up either remaining in the old time period or becoming slanderers. Depending on whether you see the things that are connected as one or not, your destiny become split up in this way.
Seeing the Trinity through the savior is not empty words, nor fantasy words, and nor an illusion. Even if you cannot see your brain, you can see it by seeing your body. ‘Nerves’ are laid out throughout your entire body and connected to the brain. Therefore, seeing the body is the same as seeing the brain. Also, all of the body parts are connected; hence, seeing the left hand is like seeing the right hand. It’s just that the forms and shapes are different.
Still, since they are connected, they are ‘the same flesh and the same body.’ Likewise, since the Trinity sent the savior and thus are connected to him, seeing him is seeing the Trinity. Until now, I spoke to you about the Trinity who have come wearing the body of the savior. Second, they appear wearing creation. In Romans 1:20, Apostle Paul said: “For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualitied – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
You surely have to learn and treasure the language of creation. The writings of the Almighty are ten thousand times higher in level than ‘academics of the world.’ The Almighty’s writings are ‘the creation that the Trinity created.’ God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son also teach us through ‘the creation that They created.’ Therefore, you have to learn ‘the language of creation.’ Both the Trinity and the Lord let you realize the things you should do and solve your problems by giving you revelations through showing you creation in an instant when something is urgent and also giving you revelations directly through the Word at times. If you study the language of creation, you will connect with the Trinity and the Lord frequently while seeing creation.
