The Crucifixion Paradox: Surprising Truth Behind Jesus' Resurrection

Hi there. 

Easter is coming and why not to talk about what truly happened during the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is a contended topic. Christians say that crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ did happen. Muslims  say that did not happen, it only appeared so. If we delve into this mystery and actually found the real truth about the event, we will see that actually both parties are right in their own way. Yes, you heard me right. Both are right. 

I’ll reveal things which probably were a secret to many of you up until now. The revelations that I freely received I freely pass on to you so that you know how exactly does the salvation work through the resurrection of Jesus Christ so that by extension anyone else who truly follows Him and by extension any other human being and every living being would never and does never truly die.

The very word "salvation" in the ancient Greek has come from the concept of body fats saving you from death because of hunger, cold, and other extreme circumstances. For example, in the Lithuanian language which is as ancient as the ancient Greek language, which is also direct descendant from the Proto-Indo-European language, the same word does mean "body fats". This was a mental concept of the physical idea of body fats giving new meaning to the more sophisticated idea of salvation. Ancient people came to the idea of salvation from the simple physical fact that body fats somehow helps you to stand better against harsh things so you have more chances to survive. Having body fats in ancient times meant that you are likely to survive better if a famine or very harsh circumstance happens. 

You can now understand how this evolved into more modern understanding that wealth and money somehow incapsulates you from death, which is a stupid idea, of course, to those who are believers. Jesus did not like this idea. He said that wealth will not save you from eventual death. But if you really do not want to die do the very opposite of it - give away all your wealth give away those body fats by sharing your food source with those who are hungry. This would sound ridiculous to any rational listener of all times as something blatantly absurd. How loss of body fat or wealth will increase your chances of survival? However, the sacred truth is that the more you give away the more your chances of self-preservation grow. And if you do the ultimate thing that is complete self-sacrifice for the selfless purpose, for the purpose of serving others, especially if you were truly innocent for the cause of death this defeats the very death. 

How is it so? In other words, self-sacrificial dying will never happen, it is impossible as God does not allow it to stay. God will revert it. This has many reasons behind it, one of which is that ultimate glory always must rest with God. So that you could visualize it better, imagine if Jesus Christ has effectively died and came to Heavens. He would be given the ultimate glory for what He did — being innocent sacrificed Himself for others so they would be spared from death that duly belonged to them because of their sins. So, everybody in the Heavens would show their respect and glory to Jesus Christ. He alone did something that has such major effects. 

This is all very fine but where is the ultimate glory for God, His Father? The biggest astonishment in Heavens is that God did the most just thing when He did not let the innocent man die. Yes, there is glory to Jesus Christ but the one which belongs to God, His Father, is even greater. 

So, just to understand it how it works. One thing is that you can show that you actually did something amazing. Another thing is that God is so generous and kind that He takes what you did, reverts it, because alogside granting your goal - make all people saved - He would also revert the whole thing, so that you could not brag and boast about it. In the end the decision rests with God and the very reward stands as proof of what you are, what you are capable of because if you did something which in the end did not really happened but if you still have the reward, it shows what you are, you get praises for this deed but in the end you can't boast about the deed. What you have - you just have a reward in your hand and that's it. The reward stands as a proof of what you're capable of, but this only shows what you're capable of, it's not what you actually did in this sense. So, the utmost glory goes with God. Everyone is amazed in the Heavens how God solved the whole thing. God does never let truthful, obedient men perish, that's the whole idea behind it. So He will acknowledge what you're capable to do, what you historically have done, but in the end you'll be reverted to the position before that. 

So, if Jesus has shown complete obedience by dying and remaining dead He would be glorified alone, but where is the glory to the God then? God, the Father, always has the bigger glory. So, no matter how you are obedient to God even to the most extreme this will always be shadowed by even greater generosity and kindness of God. Believe me, you will never outdo God! It's not possible. In the context of death this means that perfect death to show obedience to God will never outdo the perfect generosity of God to reward you with not even tasting death in the fisrt place. You do not need to receive any revelations, you don’t need to read scriptures, this is not even a rocket science. Anyone with brains can come to a conclusion what to do in order to receive what they need and on eternal basis If your goal is to be immortal you must match the reward for immortality with the appropriate sacrifice . Sacrifice your life in order to never have died in the first place. Smart people realize this. 

It is impossible to die if you sacrifice your life serving the will of God. When I say it is impossible to die, please note that you must still be ready to undergo the ordeal but who cares what you suffer there if it ends with you to have never suffered as the result of your ordeal. And it is not just because you don’t remember the ordeal as if your brains were shut if your memory was erased. No! There is no trauma left even in the memory of the bones and muscles because it never happened. So, this is the greatest thing about it. This is the paradox. The paradox of both happening at the same time. We have death and eventually we have no death whatsoever. And even if we see people dying around us, it only appears to us so. In the end, when the world ends we will all be reverted back to the state before death. And in that state we will not remember death, neither know what is death because we will have never suffered, we will never have experienced anything like it. You can imagine how Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane to His Father - Your will be done, not mine The sweat was blood droplets. This was the real thing. Jesus Christ, when He was praying, He did not want to go through the ordeal, none of us would want to go through this. It's one thing to extremely suffer the whole process until death, but the death itself is something millions times more painful. And yet He was obedient. So basically He says: while I have this personal will but I don't care about that, I'll do everything what it takes to act according to the will of My Father because the scriptures must be fulfilled, obedience must be shown, and the reward is great. And you have to trust it. God, on his end, rewards you for looking how to fullfil His will not your own will, and once His will is fulfilled He is so generous that in the end everything comes to the state where you have not even tasted the very bitter thing. 

So, Jesus Christ prays to His Father and then you can imagine how after an instant He finds Himself in a completely different time/space feel. He is still in Gethsemane Garden, but his disciples are nowhere to find as well as the crowd that went to apprehend Him. It is like another reality. If you were in His place, you would quickly realize that a transposition in space and time has just happened. You would understand that you are here and now only because of what you did which brought you here. Jesus realizes that He successfully completed what must have been done according to the Scriptures according to the plan, according to the Will of His Father, His God and our God. And yet since He did it He was rewarded to have never experienced the very same ordeal as well as granted His goal of saving all humankind and by extension all living things. 

We will not die! What a great news for us! To give you another perspective, think about the story of Abraham sacrificing his child. We know the story that an angel intervened and Abraham did not sacrifice His Son in the end. This is what we read in the historical account. But how we know that Abraham would really go all the way through? How do we know that His hand would not tremble just as the dagger touched the body of his child? The only true way to prove it would actually be carrying the task to its very end. And yet the child is alive — this is the reward. Abraham was stopped because in an objective parallel reality He was obedient enough to fully complete the task. So, here we have again Abraham with the reward. So He has his son alive. Based on this reward we understand why Abraham was commended by God, why his future generations of his descendants were blessed. But in the end, what does He have at hand? He has only a reward. He does not have a dead body of his child to prove that he really went all the way to the end. But the reward in itself is the proof that he could do that, he could go to the end, and probably he did go to the end. But the result of it is that God reverted it. He said: fine, thanks, I see what you went through, I see your obedience I'm the most capable of everything. I'm reverting this. In the end I don't need dead bodies of children. And in the end I will prohibit this from ever happening again. This is another great thing. 

Let's talk about the witnesses. We have witnesses of the crucifixion and we know that they actually did not see crucifixion since it was reverted by God. It only appeared to them so. Yet, this witness testimony is crucial for us because these records of witnesses, when they maintain they saw crucifixion, these records confirm that Jesus Christ indeed went all the way to the end. We have historical account, so that we can be assured that resurrection event is true event also. We believe that the Messiah had to be crucified and die but without the eye witness accounts we would still be in doubt if the resurrection happened at all and then if the resurrection is the real thing or not. And if we really can hope that we will not taste death in the end also. So, now we know that it happened. We have these stories written in Gospels. We know that the resurrection is truth as it is also truth that we will never really die. So , no death in the end! 

Now, let's about more practical things. Have you ever wondered why the resurrected Jesus does not show even the slightest post-trauma symptoms? We understand that if somebody had just recently died, the trauma of death must be millions of times bigger than any injury trauma we can only imagine while we still retain life. The resurrected Jesus simply does not remember it because He did not experience it. Historically He truly died, everyone saw it but at the same time God reverted it back so it doesn’t matter that we have witnesses and all their accounts. 

If we had means to time travel and went back to this spot in time/space we would not see Jesus being crucified. These people would tell us:  look Jesus is crucified! We would say: look, we don't see it, it only appears to you. That's your perception. In reality we don't see this. 

But still the witness account is crucial thing to understand everything. So, the fact is that Jesus simply had never died, nor He was crucified in the first place, because He went through the whole ordeal to the very end. He was crucified, and He died, so He would not die in the first place, or crucified in the first place. Yes, this is a paradox for our brains. It is very hard to grasp. It's the biggest miracle of all. But God is capable of it. Let's face it. 

This is why Jesus does not talk about the crucifixion or death experience to His disciples He does not recount what He felt during it, it's so strange. He does not even comment on the behavior of the disciples before and during the crucifixion or even His burial He does not ask why they left Him, or complaining that they were not at the crucifixion site. He only talks that the crucifixion must have happened. So he talks, that it must have happened. Look at the scriptures! The Messiah had to die! So He had to die, this had to happen... Why talk about something that it must have happened if it already did happen and nobody is questioning the fact or the reason for it? There is not a slightest evidence that disciples have questioned whether the crucifixion was needed. 

Another clue is this odd ability of Jesus Christ to appear inside a house which was shut from inside. Not only that, but He could also appear and disappear instantly. This could be possible if Jesus no longer possessed material body and thus could go through the walls but this is clearly not the case as He retained body that could be touched and of course He was eating solid food. We know from other accounts from the Gospels. There must be another explanation. The truth is, He was able to appear inside the places while maintaining the material body simply because he was visiting from a somehow parallel time/space dimension. In this dimension, where crucifixion did not happen, the doors might have not been shut as the disciples would not be afraid of anyone. 

If you like detective stories and pointing to various clues, well you’ve got a perfect clue in the Gospel of John where a very strange and otherwise insignificant detail is being depicted. Read John, chapter twenty, lines six and seven, New International Version: “Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen." 

So, the thing is that we have the linen and we have the head cloth. They are resting in their appropriate places. Then, if we imagine the bodily resurrection happening in the grave, how is it happening in practical sense? Think about it. Wouldn't it be in a complete mess, when the dead body is wrapped in the linen like Egyptian mummy basically and covered in an additional head cloth!? We know even from these movies where somebody wakes up from coma that the first thing when when they wake up, they scratch everything from them — you know, those medical lines that pump stuff into the blood. They completely scratch everything away.  The place is a complete mess, even when people wake up from coma. And here... how it could all be left so neat and in order? Did Jesus, after being bodily resurrected in the grave, did he put extra effort to put everything in a neat way, in perfect order? As if the first thing after you being resurrecting  would be worrying that visitors will come and they will see the mess. What a disgrace! Yeah, the first thing we would probably think the resurrected person do — he  would do those household chores just to make the place be tidy, neat and in order. But I don't believe this. 

We could go even further — tell me, what clothes Jesus wear then? How much more ridiculous can this go? The truth is that there was no zombie like re-agitation of the body as the body was resurrected by other means. The body simply just disappeared in an instant and all these linens and head cloths simply dropped down neatly to their corresponding resting position. This is why it is not scattered around the place. Gravity did the house cleaning chores and put everything in perfect order. So, the body was no more there, as the body has found itself now in the garden of Gethsemane and dressed up in appropriate clothes which belonged to the body on a particular moment in time and space. In the time and space of the dead body in the grave there are no more clothes. But if the body is transposed in a different time/space in that time/space it has clothes that duly belong to the body in this particular moment. In the Gethesamane  Jesus was dressed, so after the resurrection the body is dressed. 

So, Gethsemane garden is the location from where Jesus arrives to inspect the grave and meets the women. Also another thing. Have you ever wondered what was the real issue with the doubting Thomas? What was it that he doubted about Jesus? Why he needed to put his finger into the supposed hollow wounds? Contrary to the popular and wrong belief that for some reason Thomas doubted that resurrected Jesus possess a true physical body what He doubted was in fact that this resurrected Jesus might have been an impostor because Thomas unlike other disciples would acknowledge Jesus only if He proved that He was really crucified. Thomas was the only one who actually believed that Jesus should be crucified and that evading crucifixion would be a sign that Jesus failed. So, when somebody says: look, we saw Jesus! This is not enough for Thomas.  Maybe this is another person. Because Thomas understood that the crucifixion must happen and so the person must show at least those wounds from the crucifixion so that he believed. 

So, the thing is that Thomas is doubting: could this be the very same person who was crucified? In Thomas' reasoning crucifixion comes first and resurrection just depends on it. Doubting Thomas just as most of us would never let the thought that Jesus could be spared of the crucifixion. For example, this is the problem in  these debates between Christians and Muslims. So, Muslims say: well, Jesus was not crucified! For Christians that's the main thing, that they know to turn away Muslims. Simply because of that. For example, there are Christians, who are unitarian Christians, who maintain that there is God and Jesus Christ is not God. There are Christians who are anti-trinitarians. On that regard they are not in a conflict with Muslims so much. But what would always bring Christians and Muslims to a conflict, no matter what kind of Christians they are, is the fact of crucifixion. Denial of the crucifixion is the most atrocious thing to most of us Christians, or maybe even absolutely to any Christian. 

So, doubting Thomas was also this: show me that this person was really crucified, then I will believe that he could be resurrected and He is whatever you says He is. Now, If Jesus was in the end crucified and later resurrected those real open wounds which must have been already rotting, must have been sanitized, re-built again, and so on... OK, we can allow for that but what’s the point of the wounds being left open holes to touch them? Probably Jesus would commend Thomas for his dilligence to make sure this Jesus is the real one and do not fall for some scam. What's wrong with this kind of doubt?! But still we see that Thomas disbelieved in the eyes of Jesus and the thing that Jesus actually not commends but rebukes him is that Jesus is alive because He never died. 

Jesus would like people to understand this mystery that you can die to show obedience to God but in the end you acknowledge the greater generosity of God who reverts this. So, why do you ask for these wounds? Isn't it enough to see the reward? You know from the witness accounts that I went through the whole ordeal. You know that I died and now you see me resurrected, so what's the point of these wounds? The very fact that I'm here with you is the reward from God, and I'm alive. Why are you so keen on seeing this death in me? I'm fully alive. I never truly died. I'm not having even a second of death in me, in my bones, in my flesh. Not even a second of death! That's how generous and great is God. What is so hard for you to believe in this?! 

So, this is how Jesus is reasoning this. This is why Jesus says that blessed are those who believe in this — that seeing the reward is enough of the proof of what the person was capable to do without requesting this evidence, material evidence. Just to make Thomas happy, what Jesus does, He just shows miraculously created fake hollow openings in His body. Miracolously created thing! It's not real! It's never practical! You will never have open holes in your body whether you dead or alive. It's not possible, there are no hollow wounds that you can touch, put your hand inside! But Jesus does this miracle. He creates those hollow openings in His body, so that Thomas could put his hand inside. Just to calm down Thomas. 

So, He convinced doubting Thomas that indeed the crucifixion happened  or rather that it must have happened if Jesus is standing here eternally alive. So, do you get the clue? Jesus’ position is that crucifixion must have happened since otherwise He would not stand here but to request material proof from the crucifixion from the one who has never been crucified for the sole reason he let himself to be crucified this is lack of belief. And therefore, blessed are those who believe that resurrected Jesus can exist without being actually crucified just because they have strong faith that if you obey God by going through the death of crucifixion you will live, that is, you will never have been crucified, you will never have actualy died. Because if you died to be alive, that doesn't mean that you in any way are dead, as Jesus had taught them earlier. Demanding proof of actual crucifixion in this case is stupid. 

This is why my dear listeners, the Muslims will be commended by Jesus Christ, not rebuked because in spite of all the witness accounts, all the historical accounts of the crucifixion they steadfastly maintain that Jesus Christ did not die, nor even He was crucified, and by extension nor even he undergone carrying the cross, nor he was scourged by Roman soldiers nor even Jesus Crist stood a demeaning court hearing in the council of Jews or before the Pontius Pilate. 

How on Earth Muslims are so brave to maintain these things with the risk of being ridiculed by everyone who knows a bit about the history? That’s because they do not care about history accounts, they only do care about the revelation they received. They received their revelation through their prophet and the revelation comes from the Word of God Himself, from Jesus Christ Himself, who clearly tells that “Neither they killed, nor crucified Him, but this was only made to appear so for them”. Why should we listen to those witness when the Jesus Christ Himself says that He was not crucified and killed? Would you listen to witnesses about Jesus Christ or what the Jesus Christ Himself says? So, this is basically the point of the Muslims. 

Of course, the Word of God, through the Quran revelation, could tell that despite there being no crucifixion happening still it must have happened, that is, the Messiah must have suffered the crucifixion so that crucifixion would not happen in the first place. But this reasoning would probably exceed the purpose and message style revealed through Quran neither it was any longer necessary given the new context of the post-resurrection world. In any case, Muslims are clearly not the doubting Thomas type of people. They simply believe that Jesus did not die because they believe that the highest glory belongs to God. Very simple and clear, and commendable In the end. To be resurrected just means that you did not really die. Muslims see it as it is - the post-resurrection reality They enjoy this reality. They left to be in this reality without considering things prior to this reality. They are not requested to delve into the cause of it. They have other things to do, other tasks. 

For us, Christians, it's a different story. We have our own tasks and instructions. We must continue contemplating the crucifixion as an inescapable cause that led to the resurrection. What does it teach us? That we have to follow Jesus, self-sacrifice ourselves in His example and be please to know that eventually we will never have experienced the ordeal we experience today not because our memory will be blotted but because it will be made so that we will not have experienced the ordeal in the first place. So, yes, it is crazy that while we continue talking about the crucifixion as a historic event the reality of the post-resurrection era is that crucifixion did not happen because God did not allow it, because God did the revert of events. But it did not happen only because it had to happen and Jesus Christ made sure it would be completed! Once we realize that, we will no longer get the rebuke addressed to doubting Thomas, we will no longer vilify Muslims, but we will glorify God for what He did and we will rest assured that we will never taste death in the end. 

So, this should help as to remain humble and obedient to God to the very end of any ordeal Let's face it. The ordeals, they are there and we will be suffering. The hope is that in the end we will not have suffered all these things. All people were saved from death by the deed of our Messiah Jesus Christ and ultimately by the grace of God, the Father. Even if we see people dying, it only appears to us this way but they are not truly dying as they will eventually be transposed to the place in timeline where they have never experienced any death. And the unborn people — they will also be transposed to the place where they have been born, so they have never been unborn in the first place. 

This is why people in the kingdom of Heavens look like angels that is like very young people. One thing  — they physically look like this because they have been transposed into this spot in time/space frame. Another thing — they look like angels and children because they have no trauma. We, adults, we look different from children and not only because we are aged, but also because we have already seen life. Every suffering cuts into our skin. It cuts into our appearance. Trauma (both mental and physical) is what also makes us look as we look. Children do not look like adults, not only because they just been born and are young but also because they didn't experience trauma. 

So, people in Heavens have no trauma whatsoever behind them. This is why they look like angels, like young people. No death, no physical and mental injuries of any kind. Remember, God is the most compassionate, most merciful! Let’s rejoice that we all have eternal life and it will not be taken away from anyone. Not taken away from anyone even if they believe or not, if they follow Jesus Christ or not, show faith in God or not It will not be taken away from anyone. The thing that Jesus Christ did and ultimately what God did is irreversible. You cannot diminish it in any way. You can do everything you want: you can go against God, against faith, but you will not diminish this — you will still be forever alive. 

So, this is great thing. The real issue, though, is where are we going to spend this eternity: is it in Heaven or in Hell? Thats the real issue. This will be a good topic for another video.

Today is enough. This video is already very long. But I'm happy I finally was able to recount all of this because believe me all the circumstances were against me. This is not the first attempt to record —there were many other failed attempts before. It seems that everything tried to stop me to record this video. Starting from the nature events and other things, which I do not really want to go into now. The end result is that I did record this and I'm so happy. I'm grateful to God. This is my duty. I did it up until this point. I still have to upload it to Youtube. 

Let's pray to our God, let's thank Him. God, You are the most amazing, more than our brains can even comprehend. Why talk in thousand words, let's just admit we can't comprehend how great, how generous, how kind You are. Yes, it's so great to be your child! I'm really happy. Whatever this life takes in the end we will be smiling like children — no trauma, remember!, no bad things experienced, not even in our bones. 

So, on this great note, let's finish this video today and, God providing it, I will see you again.
