GNOSTIC Interpretation of The Gospel of THOMAS PART2; Jesus said, I shall choose you, one out of (To chase) a thousand, and two out of (To chase) ten thousand, and they shall stand as a single one. (Deuteronomy 32:30, etcetera) 24) His disciples said to him, show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it. He said to them, Whoever has (Both) ears, let him hear. There is light (Where Jesus, the light of the world is) within a man of light (Jesus has become that man), and it (The upper meaning; light of Christ) lights up the whole world. If it does not shine, it (The light within you) is (Merely) darkness (Only one ear, which only hears the fleshly teachings of men). 25) Jesus said, Love your brother (The Elect; both in their day, the early rain, and those to come, the latter rain) like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye (for indeed, they are your eyes). 26) Jesus said, You see the mote in your brothers eye (Your objections to the books he accepts, because you look not on the hidden language they convey, but only on their dating and acceptance and credibility etcetera), but you do not see the beam in your own eye (That your own books refer to them, and that both sets of books unlock to the very same keys). When you cast the beam (The false concept of the Canon) out of your own eye, then you will see clearly (To back down from your objections) to cast the mote from your brothers eye (your fleshly level objections to his way of seeing). 27) Jesus said: Unless you fast unto the world, you will in no way find the Kingdom of God; and unless you observe the Sabbath day (The millennium, after the 6,000 years) as a Sabbath (One who is at rest in the truth),you will not come to see the Father (The light within those images). 28) Jesus said, I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in (and on the level of) the flesh (As a living parable of his spiritual meaning). I found all of them intoxicated, (Not from the bubbling spring, but men’s words); I found none of them thirsty (For the word, the bubbling spring). And my soul became afflicted (Reduced to the level that the fleshly can accept) for the sons of men, because they are (Spiritually) blind in their (Spiritual) hearts and do not have (Spiritual) sight (The 2nd eye, ear, etcetera); for empty (Carnal) they came into the world, and empty (Carnally) too they seek to leave the world (Satisfied with having only that 1 eye, ear, etcetera). But for the moment they are intoxicated (On the empty, fleshly, earthly words of men). When they shake off their wine (Strong Delusion, drunkenness; the spring measured out by men, since they loved not the truth), then they will repent (and drink instead from his bubbling spring which He, not men, has measured out). 29) Jesus said, If the flesh (The lower-level of the Scriptures) came into being because of spirit (That the higher, Spiritual level is couched in the lower, physical level), it is a wonder. But if spirit (The higher level meaning, by means of the Holy, Elect Children) came into being because of the body (Born of the Woman, or the flesh and blood, reproducing after the, lower, fleshly meaning of the Scriptures), it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth (The higher level meaning of the Scriptures) has made its home (Couched itself) in this poverty (The lower level meaning of the Scriptures). 30) Jesus said, Where there are three gods (As in the God of the Old, New, and Apocryphal Testaments), they are gods (Jesus has become them). Where there are two (Testaments; the Christians) or one (Testament; the Jews), I am with him (Until the end of the age). (The 3 are the Elect, the 2 are the Christians of the same house; and the Jews, are the 1 and are another house) Raise the stone (Elevate the rejected Testament), and there you will find me (The cornerstone); cleave the wood (Seek the higher level in the New Testament), and there I (The Logos) am. 31) Jesus said, No prophet is accepted in his own village (Jesus is not accepted by the Jews); no physician heals those who know him (Jesus cannot cure the Christians of their unbelief). 32) Jesus said, A city (The New Jerusalem) being built on a high mountain (Judeo-Christianity) and fortified (In time by God’s Word) cannot fall, (The gates of hell shall not prevail against it) nor can it be hidden. (The whole world will see it.) 33) Jesus said, You hear (The lower-level meaning) with one of your ears, [but the other one (Which understands the higher level) you have closed.] preach from your housetops that which you will hear in your one ear (That which has been taught previously; the 2 trees, or Testaments) {(As well as) in the other (Spiritual) ear (That which was taught at first and rediscovered; the 3 trees).} for no one lights a lamp (The Word of God, Psalm 119:105) and puts it (The Word) under a bushel, nor does he put it (The Word) in a hidden place, (The Word Apocrypha means taken away and hidden) but rather he sets it on a lamp stand (Proclaims it in the Church, Revelation 1:20) so that everyone who enters (The Kingdom) and leaves (The Kingdom) will see its light (Which is the higher-level meaning contained in God’s Word). 34) Jesus said, If a blind man (False Jews with their false image, or Canon) leads a blind man (False Christians, who use this tactic as a reason to murder the prophets and exile the Apostles so they can take over the Church), they will both fall into a pit (The pitfall of seeing only the lower-level; therefore captivity will be taken captive and those who kill with the sword of God’s Word must later be killed with that same sword of God’s Word). 35) Jesus said, It is not possible for anyone to enter the house of a strong man (The house of God under Satan’s control) and take it by force (At the end of days) unless he binds his hands (Builds a case against him for 2,000 years); then he will (Be able to) ransack (Reveal the crimes of) his house (Expose the deeds of false religion, as well as the lie they base it on). 36) Jesus said, Do not worry from dawn (The initial revelation of the mysteries and keys in the Early Church) to dusk (The subsequent concealment and suppression of those mysteries and keys) and from dusk (The time of the suppression) to dawn (The 7th millennium, when the morning star arises in our hearts) about [what food] (Scriptures) you [will] eat (Accept), [or] what [clothing] you will wear (Your particular denomination). [you are much] better than the [lilies] (The Elite of the world, which is the field), which [neither] card nor spin (For the Kingdom of God). And for your part, what [will you wear] when you have no clothing? (No religion will take you because you side with the prophets against them) who would add to your stature? (Lead you into your true nature—like Jesus, Moses and Elijah were during the transfiguration) it is he who will give you your (True) clothing (The righteousness of the saints; Job 29:14, Revelation 19:8). 37) His disciples said, When will you (The Living Word) become revealed to us and when shall we see you? Jesus said, When you disrobe (Leave the religious establishment) without being ashamed and take up your garments (Denominations, differences) and place them under your feet like little children (The Elect) and tread on them (Reject them, throw the small fish back into the sea), then [will you see] the son of the living one (And thus be like Him, for when we see the Son, we see Him, and in seeing Him, we become as He is), and (Hence) you will not be afraid (For He is perfect Love, which casts out all fear; 1 John 4:18). 38) Jesus said, Many times have you desired to hear (Spiritually with the other, spiritual ear) these words which I am saying to you, and you have no one else to hear them from (As in this book). There will be days (The 2 spiritual days, or 2,000 years) when you look for me (Seek my meaning, or Logos) and will not find me (The meaning of these words). 39) Jesus said, The Pharisees and the scribes (and later, the Early Church infiltrators) have taken the keys of knowledge (of the higher-level meaning; see also Luke 11:52.) and hidden them (Behind the fleshly locks of earthly images). They themselves have not entered (By knowledge of these keys into the Kingdom), nor have they allowed to enter those who wish to (Seeing as they saw the light within those images and suppressed them, thereby blaspheming the Holy Spirit). You, however, be as wise as serpents (The scribes and Pharisees Matthew 23:33, 12:34, etcetera,) and as innocent as doves (The Elect). 40) Jesus said, A grapevine (The false Church) has been planted outside of the Father (The knowledge of the mystery), but being unsound, (Rooted in the teachings of men) it will be pulled up by its roots and destroyed. (By Jesus, the true vine John 15:1) 41) Jesus said, Whoever has something in his hand (The true wealth, a grasp on this concept) will receive more (Keys, revelations, insights, power), and whoever has nothing (The poverty, or no grasp on this concept) will be deprived of even the little he has (Temporal power, power over the Church). 42) Jesus said, Become passers-by. (Fast from the world--verse 27; become solitary, etcetera) 43) His disciples said to him, who are you, that you should say these things to us? you do not realize who I am from what I say to you (From the tree, or Old Testament Scriptures), but you (Disciples, early Christians) have become like the Jews, for they (either) love the tree (The Scriptures) and hate its fruit (That which it brought forth, namely Jesus and the Knowledge of the mysteries) or love the fruit (Jesus, the mysteries) and hate the tree (The Scriptures that brought forth these things). 44) Jesus said, Whoever blasphemes against the Father (Old Testament Era and Scriptures) will be forgiven, and whoever blasphemes against the son (New Testament Era and Scriptures) will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (Who will lead us into a proper understanding of both the Old Testament and the New Testament, thereby revealing the 3rd Testament) will not be forgiven either on earth (The earthly argument against them will be compelling) or in heaven (The Spiritual argument against them will be compelling). 45) Jesus said, Grapes (The fruits of Christianity and the New Testament) are not harvested from thorns (Christians, when they are worldly and rich), nor are figs (The fruits of Judaism and the Old Testament) gathered from thistles (False Jews: synagogue of Satan), for they do not produce fruit (Scriptural produce). A good man brings forth good from his storehouse (His heart leads him to the good fruit); an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in his heart, and says evil things (His evil fruit). For out of the abundance of the heart he brings forth evil things (Which prevents people from recognizing the mystery). 46) Jesus said, Among those born of women (Adam after the flesh could be said to have been born a second time, by means of Eve’s transgression and his subsequent acquiescence), from Adam until John the Baptist, there is no one so superior to John the Baptist that his eyes should not be lowered (before him). Yet I have said whichever one of you comes to be a child (One of the Elect) will be acquainted with the Kingdom (As John the Baptist was) and will become superior to John (Because this time around, they will actually succeed). 47) Jesus said, It is impossible for a man to mount two horses (Kingdoms) or to stretch two bows (Fight both for and against each side) and it is impossible for a servant (An Elect One) to serve two masters (God and Satan); otherwise he will honor the one and treat the other contemptuously. No man drinks old wine (Old Teachings) and immediately desires to drink new wine (Teachings). And new wine (Teaching) is not put into old wineskins (Students, followers), lest they burst; nor is old wine (Teaching put into a new wineskin (Student), lest it spoil it (As the old, false concept of the Canon did to the early Christians). An old patch (Teaching) is not sewn onto a new garment (Religion), because a tear would result (In a new religion). 48) Jesus said, If two (The old and new wineskins) make peace with each other in this one house (of God), they will say to the mountain (The world system; the religious establishment), move away, and it will move away. 49) Jesus said, Blessed are the solitary and Elect, for (Being apart from the religious establishment) you will (Through your labors) find the Kingdom. For you are from it (We base our understanding on early Christianity), and to it (The original teaching) you will return. 50) Jesus said, If they (Jews and Christians) say to you (The Elect), where did you come from?, say to them, we came from the light (Higher-level of the word), the place where the light (Spiritual meaning) came into being on its own accord and established [itself] and became manifest through their image (The lower, physical meanings). if they say to you, is it you?, say, we are its children (We are brought forth from it, in order to finish what was left for us to do), we are the Elect of the living Father. if they ask you, what is the sign of your Father in you?, say to them, it is movement and repose. (To labor and to find life through it. When we rule, then we will rest. That we have at long last recovered the truth involves taking over the world and resting upon the Word of God.) 51) His disciples said to him, when will the repose of the dead (The Jews and Christians) come about, and when will the new world come? He said to them, What you look forward to (That teaching which was from the beginning), has already come, (The original Judeo-Christian teaching) but you (Because the keys were taken and hidden) do not recognize it. 52) His disciples said to him, twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, (The 24 books of the Hebrew Canon, later adopted by the Protestants) and all of them spoke in you. (The traditional Christian teaching; that we would know Jesus through the Canon.) He (The Living Word of God, which is not subject to the dead, or the false Christians and Jews) said to them, You have omitted the one living in your presence (That the Word of God uses books outside the Canon) and have spoken (only) of (What) the dead (False Jews and Christians have said).
