The passage in Revelation 12 that says “war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the devil and his angels” has been one of the most literalized and misunderstood images in Scripture. The reason people read it as a cosmic battle is not because the text demands it, but because names, pronouns, and imagery were mistaken for literal beings rather than symbolic placeholders. Revelation itself tells us the book is signified—communicated through symbols. Once that is honored, the passage becomes clear. What “heaven” represents Heaven is not a location in the sky. Heaven represents a state of alignment, awareness, and consciousness. It is the inner realm where identity, belief, and perception are formed. So if a war breaks out in heaven, it cannot be external—it must be internal. Who Michael really represents “Michael” is not functioning here as a literal angelic general. Michael represents truth, Christ-consciousness, awakened awareness within a person. His “angels” are not winged beings, but supporting truths: • clarity • union • oneness • coherence • remembrance Where Christ-consciousness arises, truth gathers. Who the devil and his angels represent The devil here is not a red being with horns. “Devil” means accuser. It represents: • accusation • religion distorted into fear • shame-based identity • guilt, condemnation • cultural and traditional programming The devil’s “angels” are the voices that support accusation: • “You are not enough” • “You are separate” • “You must earn belonging” • “God is against you” These are not demons — they are false narratives. What the war actually is The war is what happens when truth confronts illusion. It begins the moment: • you hear something that doesn’t fit your old identity • a sermon, song, book, or insight stirs something inside you • you start questioning what you were taught • you feel both resistance and curiosity That tension is the war. Truth rises. Illusion resists.

Over time, I’ve read several works by others, listened to different voices and I’ve come to understand why many people especially Jews and careful students of Scripture struggle with modern Christianity. The issue is not Jesus. It is distinction. Judaism does not reject agency, embodiment, or divine expression. What it rejects rightly is collapsing categories Scripture itself keeps distinct. When Christians say “Jesus is God” without qualification or distinction, it creates immediate resistance. Not because others are closed-minded, but because Scripture never speaks that way. This resistance is not hostility. It is textual integrity. And nowhere did this happen more decisively than in John 1. Many read John 1 like this: “The Word became flesh… therefore Jesus is the Word, and Jesus is God.” But John never says that. John never says: • “Jesus is the Word” • “Jesus is God” • “God became a man” Those conclusions were imported, not read. What John actually says: John says: “In the beginning was the Word… And the Word was with God… And the Word was God…” This is Genesis language. John is echoing Genesis, not introducing a new ontology. The Word (Logos) is: • divine life • creative expression • self-communicating being This Word is Christ-life, not a human name. “The Word became flesh” does not mean “Jesus became God” When John says: “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us…” We assumed “flesh” meant one man. But Scripture uses flesh to mean humanity, not a single body. “Dwelt among us” echoes Genesis 2:7: God breathed His life into humanity. John is saying: Divine life (Christ) expressed itself in human form. This aligns perfectly with Jesus’ own words: • “The Father in me” • “I can of myself do nothing” • “The Father does the works” Jesus knew what we later assumed incorrectly. Christ is life, not a last name. “Christ” is not Jesus’ surname. Christ is: • the anointing • divine life • the Logos • God’s self-expression

Most people hear this as: God had one unique Son, sent Him as a sacrifice, and now access to God depends on believing. That is not how John is writing. “God So Loved the World” World (kosmos) does not mean “planet.” It means: • humanity (Adam) • human order • human consciousness • the realm of experience So, this is about humanity in its fractured state. “That He Gave” “Gave” does not mean: • killed • demanded blood It means expressed, revealed, shared. God “giving” is God revealing Himself through His life (Christ) in a vessel (Jesus) just as we see in Genesis 2:7 (Adam) — not God extracting payment. The same Gospel already told us what was given: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4) “His One and Only Son” — This Is the Big Misquote The Greek word here is (monogenēs). It does not mean: “only child ever born” It means: unique of the same kind one-of-a-kind expression It is a quality term, not a numerical one. Isaac is called monogenēs — yet Abraham had more than one son. So “only Son” does not mean exclusivity of sonship. It means unique embodiment. “Son” Is Identity Language — Not Biology “Son” in Scripture means: • one who reveals • one who carries the nature • one who expresses the source That’s why: • Adam is called a son of God • Israel is called God’s son • believers are called sons • Jesus is called Son Sonship is functional and revelatory, not genetic. What the Verse Is Actually Saying When decoded, John 3:16 reads more like this: God (Father, Source) so loved humanity (Adam) that He revealed His own life (Christ) through a uniquely embodied expression (Jesus), so that humanity (Adam) would awaken to the eternal life (Christ) already within but forgotten rather than remain in darkness. No violence. No blood demand. No exclusion. Just love revealing life. Why This Verse Gets Weaponized? Because when: • “Son” is made exclusive • “gave” is turned into sacrifice

Good day, beautiful souls; Today’s teaching brings us to Genesis 16, a chapter written in inner, symbolic language, revealing what happens when impatience and self-effort step in where trust has not yet matured. Hagar is not the problem. Sarai is not the villain. Abram is not condemned. This chapter is not about punishment, it is about what unfolds when we attempt to force outcomes instead of allowing alignment to work in its own time. As you read today’s teaching, listen inwardly. Genesis 16 mirrors moments we all experience: when fear of delay tempts us to create solutions from ego rather than rest in trust. Take what resonates. Sit with what stretches you. Leave what doesn’t. Awakening deepens when trust replaces control. After the deep sleep of Genesis 15, transformation is already in motion. But Genesis 16 shows us something vital: Ego does not like waiting. Sarai — The Mind Seeking Control Sarai represents: • The rational mind • Fear of delay • Anxiety around outcomes When awakening does not produce results quickly, the mind intervenes. Hagar — Self-Effort Consciousness Hagar is not just a servant. She represents self-effort identity. Hagar symbolizes: • Doing instead of being • Forcing outcomes • Creating solutions from fear Self-effort is not wrong. It is simply misaligned. “Go Into My Maid” This is not immorality. It is strategy. The mind attempts to fulfill promise through human effort. Religion does this constantly: Helping God fulfill what awareness already promised. Ishmael — The Product of Striving Ishmael is not rejected. He is simply not the promise. Ishmael represents: • Results born from pressure • Identity formed from striving • Success without rest Self-effort always produces something—but not what awareness intended. Contempt & Conflict — Inner Tension Once self-effort “works,” inner conflict increases. Why? Because striving cannot coexist with trust. The mind becomes restless. The soul becomes burdened.

“Unto us a son is born, unto us a son is given.” This is not a later Christological invention. It is Genesis language. Genesis 1 — Identity Declared; • “Let there be light” → awareness / Christ-consciousness • “Let us make man in our image” → Christ as the image of God • Humanity is declared in Christ before form This is identity before embodiment. Genesis 2 — Form Appears; • Man is formed from the ground of the soul • Breath is given • Life animates form Exactly the same pattern: • Son given → identity (Christ) • Son born → form (humanity) Isaiah is echoing Genesis, not inventing theology. Jesus Did Not Introduce Christ — He Reenacted Genesis; This is the breakthrough many miss. Jesus does not bring something humanity never had. He reveals what humanity forgot. That is why Scripture calls him: “The last Adam.” Not because Adam failed morally, but because Adam (humanity) forgot who he was. Genesis 3 is not rebellion. It is forgetfulness. • Awareness collapses • Ego emerges • Separation is experienced • Religion is born to manage fear Jesus comes not to replace Adam, but to restore Adam to remembrance. Mary’s Womb Was Not a New Event — It Was a Replay; Genesis 2:7 already tells us: • God breathes life into humanity • Christ-life animates form Mary’s womb is Genesis reenacted, not Genesis replaced. It only appeared miraculous because: • humanity had forgotten its origin • Genesis was no longer read symbolically • identity had been externalized What looked supernatural was actually natural truth remembered. “Son of God” Was Never Exclusive Language; This is where English betrayed Scripture. Son of God means: one who reveals God That’s why: • Adam is called son of God • Israel is called son of God • Humanity is called sons of God Jesus makes this explicit: “My Father and your Father My God and your God” Nothing new is being introduced. Only memory is being restored. Adam Did Not Rebel — Adam Forgot; This distinction matters.
