The Da Vinci Code

The Novel, the Movie, the Lie

August 2006

This movie, unlike those in the past that have portrayed Jesus in an unsavory light, has taken Christendom by storm.  The only and obvious reason that any Christian would financially support this horrendous lie is because the church has failed to answer, in the minds of its laity, as to the validity of this absurd claim.

As a novel this story was never intended to be a great documentary work, with an in-depth collection of supporting facts to backup its claims, but rather a fictitious story for light reading.  Why anyone would take the time to write such fiction is beyond comprehension.  Even so, the lie found within the pages of this book can in fact, trace its roots back to the father of all lies who is now celebrating his victory in foisting upon the Christian world a lie so beguiling that it obscures (counterfeits) the truth concerning salvation and the new birth.

Many of our most brilliant theologians are left scrambling in an effort to do damage control rather than taking the offensive, and teaching with authority the truth about the divinity of Jesus.  The enemy does not want us to comprehend the truth about the “Marriage Supper of the Lamb”, or the “Woman of Revelation 12”, deluded in his thinking that if we do not understand this; it will not come to pass.  Until the truth about the Divine Nature of Jesus is taught, Christians will be left without a rudder to ride out these high seas of Satan’s lies. 

Getting up on national television and saying Jesus would not have broken any law “if” He had decided to marry Mary Magdalene, does not help in this battle because this too is a lie.  In order to meet the enemy on this battle field one must be firmly grounded in the truth about the Divinity of Jesus.

According to John chapter 1, Jesus our messiah existed before His birth to Mary and Joseph.  Mary and Joseph were chosen by God to give His Son the proper lineage and to build Him a body of flesh and blood.  As Nicodemus replied ...Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb to be born! John 3:4.  Jesus the only begotten Son of God by means we cannot fully comprehend returned into His Mother's womb in order to be born of Mary.  When the Holy Spirit over shadowed Mary it was not an eclipse but rather a convergence.  At that moment the Holy Spirit (feminine/mother member of the deity) and Mary existed in the same space, their wombs met and when the Holy Spirit left, a bit of Spirit remained within Mary’s womb.  Mary became the first “surrogate by implantation” mother in the history of the world.  Jesus the Son of God now had surrogate parents here on earth of the lineage of David.  As Son of the King of the whole universe and Son of David, He was heir to the thrones of both heaven and earth.  One hundred percent God and one hundred percent human.

In Romans chapter 1, Paul explains how they were without an excuse for not understanding the divine Nature of God ...even his eternal power and Godhead... Romans 1:20, because God had given them a lesson book.  God has given to us this lesson book also, namely the story of creation.  The question might be asked, where in the story of creation do we find information concerning the suitability of Mary Magdalene as a “helpmeet” for Jesus?  As any student of the story of creation will attest, God created a mate for every creature “after his kind”.  This fact is attested to again and again and then God put His stamp of approval upon it by saying “it was good”.  Our Messiah left the right hand of His Father to come to this earth to take on humanity.  In order for Him to redeem our lost inheritance, He must become our near kinsman, the Second Adam, and as such He was and is one hundred percent God and one hundred percent human.  A Being that is both human and divine cannot find among the daughters of Adam a suitable mate “after his kind”.  Returning to our lesson book, we find that Adam was created in the image of his Creator, both male and female.  This is different from the other creations because we find Adam was created with the essence of his mate contained within himself.   When Adam met Eve for the first time he recognized her and said ...This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man. Genesis 2:23.  Not only did he recognize her as being part of himself but he understood her roll in motherhood for he ...called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living. Genesis 3:20.

After Adam and Eve’s sin they were incapable of giving birth to a child free from the condemnation of death.  As all of their children were in bondage to sin and death, there was no one “alive” to receive Adam’s inheritance and so it went as spoils to the one who conquered him.  A messiah must come that can both redeem fallen humanity and take back the lost crown from the enemy’s head.  This requires a multi facetted plan, and this plan was designed before the foundation for the earth was laid.  Our copy of the laws governing the implementation of this plan was entrusted into Israel’s care.  Among these laws, the very laws most Christians try to nail to the cross, we find the law of the kinsman redeemer.  This law, played out in the book of Ruth for our instruction, governing the redemption of Elimelich and Naomi’s inheritance by a near kinsman is the same law by which the Second Adam will redeem the first Adam’s inheritance.  Naomi’s land was lost because her husband and sons had died.  Naomi’s daughter in-law Ruth and a near kinsman Boaz had a child and according to this law, they could say ...There is a son born to Naomi... Ruth 4:17. (the women said to Naomi Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today... Ruth 4:14 NAS)

We have a near kinsman.  It was for this reason the Only Begotten Son of God came into our world in a body built for Him by Mary.  Like Adam, from the beginning of His ministry until His death, Jesus too contained the essence of His mate within Himself.  For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; John 5:26.  Jesus, while hanging on the cross on Calvary, entered into a deep sleep, like Adam.  When the roman spear pierced His side, two fountains flowed out from Him offering proof that His mate had already been released from Him.  This truth, my friends, is what the enemy is so afraid of.  This is the reason he keeps spreading all these lies.  He does not care which lie we believe on this subject as long as we do not acknowledge Jesus as our Second Adam.  Why is he afraid of this truth?  Because this truth threatens his dominion and power as Prince of planet Earth.

When was the last time you heard a reasonable explanation as to who the Woman of Revelation 12:1 is?  The Prince of darkness would have us believe any number of things as long as they are not the truth.  For example how can this Woman be the Christian church with Jesus as her child, when Jesus is the beginning or head of the church?  Or how can this Woman be Mary when Mary never traveled to heaven?  The truth is that this Woman is the “helpmeet” of Jesus.  Like Eve She would ...be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man. Genesis 2:23.  As the helpmeet to the Prince of Heaven and Earth, She would be clothed with Her husbands finest and have a crown upon Her head to signify Her prominence.  As the second Eve, she is about to give birth to the very first “alive” human, a child that can redeem the first Adam and Eve’s inheritance.  Is it any wonder the Prince of Darkness is there to try and devour this Child as soon as it is born?  And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.  Revelation 12:5.  Thank God he does not devour Him, because this is our only hope of receiving an inheritance in the earth.  It is not until this time the reality of Jesus’ prayer, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 can actually take place.  Jesus’ Eve gives birth to a righteous “man child” according to God’s plan for the first Eve. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness... Genesis 1:26.  This Child is caught up to Heaven, even unto Gods throne, and upon inspection God finds Him to be Righteous indeed, born with the essence of His mate contained within Himself. It is at this time that God accepts Him as a righteous Son of Adam, declaring Him heir to Earth and all the kingdoms therein.   And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. Revelation 12:10.

How important is it for us to refrain from spreading the lies that conceal the truth about Jesus and His helpmeet?  Let me explain it another way.  When the Israelites were thirsty and clamored for water, Moses asked God what to do and He said Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink... Exodus 17:6.  Later when there was no water and the people again clamored for water, Moses asked the Lord And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. Numbers 20:7-8.  At the First Advent, Jesus came to be sin for us.  He came born of a bondwoman, born under the curse of death.  On the day His Helpmeet was to be released from Him, He was smitten, bled and died for us.  The fountain of water that flowed from His side was His Holy Spirit, the water of which He spoke that if we drink we will never thirst again.  At the Second Advent Jesus’ Son comes to rule on the throne of His Father.  He is born of the free woman and does not fall under the curse of death.  Like the second of the two sacrifices on Atonement, He escapes death.  But Moses spoiled the picture because he did not speak to the rock the second time, like he was told, and smote it instead, And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them. Numbers 20:11-12.  All those that spoil the picture of the “Two Anointed Ones” will have to go through the grave in order to behold the Kingdom of God.  When it is time for the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, the second Lamb of God will NOT be smitten.  The fountain of life that comes forth from His side will emerge according to the original plan God envisioned for the son and daughter born to Adam and Eve.

Jesus said ...I go to prepare a place for you. John 14: 2.  This preparation is not building houses for us, but rather taking care of all the legal requirements necessary to redeem Adam, his children and his dominion.  The Prince of Darkness does not want us to understand this plan.  To this end he has trampled the truth under foot for his allotted time.  Beginning with the Reformation the truth is being allowed to shine more and more until we reach the perfect day.  The Star of David has six points, when we reach that perfect day there will be six members in the Godhead.  Not too many years ago I would have been burned at the stake for saying this.  I thank God for the freedoms we have in the country, but I look forward eagerly to becoming a subject of God’s Kingdom, and seeing you there also.
