EPHESIANS 2

 Ephesians 2

Amplified Bible 

Made Alive in Christ

And you [He made alive when you] were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of your transgressions and sins, in which you once walked.

 You were following the ways of this world [influenced by this present age], in accordance with the prince of the power of the air (Satan), the spirit who is now at work in the disobedient [the unbelieving, who fight against the purposes of God].

 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of [flesh]human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. 

We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God’s] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. 

But God, being [so very] rich in mercy, because of His great and wonderful love with which He loved us, even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace--His undeserved favor and mercy--you have been saved from God’s judgment). 

And He raised us up together with Him [when we believed], and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, [because we are] in Christ Jesus, [and He did this] so that in the ages to come He might [clearly] show the immeasurable and unsurpassed riches of His grace in [His] kindness toward us in Christ Jesus [by providing for our redemption]. 

For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. 

And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]. 

For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Therefore, remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, who are called “Uncircumcision” by those who called themselves “Circumcision,” [itself a mere mark] which is made in the flesh by human hands-- remember that at that time you were separated from Christ [excluded from any relationship with Him], alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise [with no share in the sacred Messianic promise and without knowledge of God’s agreements], having no hope [in His promise] and [living] in the world without God. 

But now [at this very moment] in Christ Jesus you who once were [so very] far away [from God] have been brought near [in] by the blood of Christ. 

For He Himself is our peace and our bond of unity. He who made both groups--[Jews and Gentiles]--into one body and broke down the barrier, the dividing wall [of spiritual antagonism between us], by abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the hostility caused by the Law with its commandments contained in ordinances [which He satisfied]; so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thereby establishing peace. 

And [that He] might reconcile them both [Jew and Gentile, united] in one body to God through the cross, thereby putting to death the hostility. 

AND HE CAME AND THE GOOD NEWS OF PEACE TO YOU [Gentiles] WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE [Jews] WHO WERE NEAR. 

For it is through Him that we both have a [direct] way of approach in one Spirit to the Father. 

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens [outsiders without rights of citizenship], but you are fellow citizens with the saints (God’s people), and are [members] of God’s household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the [chief] Cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined together, and it continues [to increase] growing into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, set apart, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. 

In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

Amplified Bible  

The Blessings of Redemption


Paul, an apostle (special messenger, personally chosen representative) of Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed), by the will of God [that is, by His purpose and choice],

To the saints (God’s people) who are at Ephesus and are faithful and loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed and worthy of praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ, just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. 

In love He predestined and lovingly planned for us to be adopted to Himself as [His own] children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the kind intention and good pleasure of His will-- to the praise of His glorious grace and favor, which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved [His Son, Jesus Christ]. 

In Him we have redemption [that is, our deliverance and salvation] through His blood, [which paid the penalty for our sin and resulted in] the forgiveness and complete pardon of our sin, in accordance with the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. 

In all wisdom and understanding [with practical insight] He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, with regard to the fulfillment of the times [that is, the end of history, the climax of the ages]--to bring all things together in Christ, [both] things in the heavens and things on the earth. 

In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny--we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory. 

In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 

The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers; [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 

And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. 

These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 

And He put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and [l]appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].


 “Saints” refers to born-again believers. All believers are holy, that is, set apart or sanctified for God’s purpose.

In the New Testament the word “hope” expresses a cherished desire along with the confident assurance of obtaining that which is longed for.

救赎的祝福


奉神旨意,作基督耶稣(弥赛亚,受膏者)使徒的保罗,

写信给在以弗所、在基督耶稣里忠心耿耿的圣徒:愿恩惠、平安从我们的父神和主耶稣基督归与你们!


愿颂赞归与我们主耶稣基督的父神!他在基督里,曾赐给我们天上各样属灵的福气。就如他在创立世界以前,在基督里拣选了我们,使我们在他面前成为圣洁,无有瑕疵。


 祂出于爱,预定并慈爱地计划藉着耶稣基督使我们得着祂的儿女名分,这是照着祂自己旨意的美意和喜悦,使祂荣耀的恩典和慈爱得着称赞。这恩典和慈爱是祂在爱子耶稣基督里白白赐给我们的。


我们藉着祂的血得蒙救赎,罪得赦免,乃是照着祂丰盛的恩典。


祂用诸般的智慧和悟性,照着祂在基督里所预定的美意,将祂旨意的奥秘告诉我们,要成就祂的日期,使天上、地上一切所有的都在基督里同归于一。


 我们也藉着他得了基业(既是神所预定的,也是神所拣选的),这基业是神所预定的,是照着那位随己意行作万事的神的旨意预定的,好叫我们这些首先在基督里有盼望的人得以存在,使他的荣耀得着称赞。


你们既听见真理的道,就是那叫你们得救的福音,也信了他,既然信他,就受了所应许的圣灵为印记(这圣灵是神所应许的,是神所拥有和保守的)。


这圣灵是我们得基业的凭据(这凭据是神的应许,是神的保证,是神的预尝),直等到神自己的民被赎,使他的荣耀得着称赞。


 因此,我听见你们对主耶稣的信心,以及你们对众圣徒的爱心,就为你们不住地感谢神,祷告的时候常提到你们。求我们主耶稣基督的神,荣耀的父,将那赐人智慧和启示的灵赏给你们,使你们真知道他。


求神开启你们心中的眼睛,使你们知道他呼召你们的盼望是什么,他在圣徒中所得的基业是何等丰盛的荣耀,并知道他向我们信的人所显的能力是何等浩大。


 这都是照着祂在基督身上运行的大能大力,就是祂使基督从死里复活,叫祂在天上坐在自己的右边,远超过一切执政的、掌权的、有能的、主治的,和一切有名的,不但是今世的,连来世的也都超过了。


又使万有都服在基督的脚下,又立祂为教会作万有之首。教会是祂的身体,是那充满万有者所充满的。


“圣徒”指的是重生得救的信徒。所有信徒都是圣洁的,也就是说,他们被分别为圣,归于神的旨意。

 在新约圣经中,“希望”一词表达了一种珍贵的渴望,以及对获得所渴望之物的坚定信心。

Les Bénédictions de la Rédemption


Paul, apôtre de Jésus-Christ (le Messie, l'Oint), par la volonté de Dieu,


Aux saints d'Éphèse, fidèles et inébranlables en Jésus-Christ : que la grâce et la paix vous soient données de la part de Dieu notre Père et du Seigneur Jésus-Christ !


Béni soit Dieu, le Père de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, qui nous a bénis de toute bénédiction spirituelle dans les lieux célestes en Christ, nous ayant choisis en lui avant la fondation du monde, pour que nous soyons saints et irréprochables devant lui.


 Dans son amour, il nous a prédestinés et a planifié avec tendresse que nous soyons adoptés comme ses propres enfants par Jésus-Christ, selon le dessein bienveillant et le bon plaisir de sa volonté, à la louange de sa glorieuse grâce et de sa faveur, qu'il nous a si généreusement accordées en son Fils bien-aimé, Jésus-Christ.


En lui, nous avons la rédemption par son sang, qui a payé le prix de notre péché et a permis le pardon total de nos fautes, selon la richesse de sa grâce qu'il a répandue sur nous.


Avec une sagesse et une intelligence parfaites, il nous a révélé le mystère de sa volonté, selon son bon plaisir, qu'il a formé en Christ, pour l'accomplissement des temps, afin de réunir toutes choses en Christ, celles qui sont dans les cieux et celles qui sont sur la terre.


 En lui, nous avons aussi reçu un héritage [une destinée – Dieu nous a réclamés comme siens], ayant été prédestinés (choisis, désignés d’avance) selon le dessein de celui qui opère toutes choses conformément au conseil et au plan de sa volonté, afin que nous qui avons été les premiers à espérer en Christ [qui avons mis les premiers notre confiance en lui comme notre Seigneur et Sauveur] existions à la louange de sa gloire.


En lui, vous aussi, après avoir entendu la parole de vérité, la bonne nouvelle de votre salut, et avoir cru en lui, vous avez été marqués du sceau du Saint-Esprit promis [celui que Christ a promis], comme appartenant à Dieu et protégés par lui.


L’Esprit est la garantie [le premier versement, le gage, un avant-goût] de notre héritage jusqu’à la rédemption du peuple que Dieu s’est acquis [ses croyants], à la louange de sa gloire.


 C’est pourquoi, ayant entendu parler de votre foi au Seigneur Jésus et de votre amour pour tout le peuple de Dieu, je ne cesse de rendre grâce pour vous, en vous portant dans mes prières. Je prie pour que le Dieu de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, le Père de gloire, vous accorde un esprit de sagesse et de révélation, qui vous donne une compréhension profonde et personnelle de sa véritable nature, car nous connaissons le Père par le Fils.


Je prie également pour que les yeux de votre cœur soient illuminés par le Saint-Esprit, afin que vous connaissiez et chérissiez l’espérance à laquelle il vous a appelés, la richesse de son glorieux héritage parmi les saints, et que vous commenciez à comprendre l’immensité et la grandeur infinie de sa puissance en nous qui croyons.


 Ces choses sont conformes à l'action de sa puissance infinie, manifestée en Christ lorsqu'il l'a ressuscité des morts et l'a fait asseoir à sa droite dans les lieux célestes, bien au-dessus de toute domination, autorité, puissance et souveraineté [angélique ou humaine], et [bien au-dessus de] tout nom qui puisse être nommé [au-dessus de tout titre qui puisse être conféré], non seulement dans ce siècle et dans le siècle à venir.


Il a soumis toutes choses [dans tous les domaines] aux pieds de Christ et l'a établi chef [suprême et faisant autorité] de toutes choses dans l'Église, qui est son corps, la plénitude de celui qui remplit et accomplit toutes choses en tous [les croyants].


Le terme « saints » désigne les croyants nés de nouveau. Tous les croyants sont saints, c'est-à-dire mis à part ou sanctifiés pour le dessein de Dieu.

Dans le Nouveau Testament, le mot « espérance » exprime un désir profond accompagné de la ferme assurance d'obtenir ce qui est désiré.

As Bênçãos da Redenção


Paulo, apóstolo (mensageiro especial, representante escolhido pessoalmente) de Cristo Jesus (o Messias, o Ungido), por vontade de Deus [isto é, pelo Seu propósito e escolha],


Aos santos (povo de Deus) que estão em Éfeso e são fiéis, leais e firmes em Cristo Jesus: Graça a vós e paz [calma interior e bem-estar espiritual] da parte de Deus nosso Pai e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.


Bendito e digno de louvor seja o Deus e Pai de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que nos abençoou com todas as bênçãos espirituais nas regiões celestiais em Cristo, tal como [no Seu amor] nos escolheu em Cristo [na verdade, selecionou-nos para Si como Seus] antes da fundação do mundo, para sermos santos [isto é, consagrados, separados para Ele, com um propósito] e irrepreensíveis diante d’Ele.


Aos santos (povo de Deus) que estão em Éfeso e são fiéis em Cristo Jesus: Graça a vós e paz [calma interior e bem-estar espiritual] da parte de Deus nosso Pai e do Senhor Jesus Cristo.


Bendito e digno de louvor seja o Deus e Pai de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, que nos abençoou com todas as bênçãos espirituais nas regiões celestiais em Cristo, tal como [no Seu amor] nos escolheu em Cristo [na verdade, selecionou-nos para Si como Seus] antes da fundação do mundo, para sermos santos [isto é, consagrados, separados para Ele, com um propósito] e irrepreensíveis diante d’Ele.


Em amor, Ele predestinou-nos e planeou amorosamente que fôssemos adotados como filhos por meio de Jesus Cristo, de acordo com o beneplácito da Sua vontade, para louvor da Sua gloriosa graça, que Ele nos concedeu gratuitamente no Amado [Seu Filho, Jesus Cristo].


Nele temos a redenção [isto é, a nossa libertação e salvação] através do Seu sangue, [que pagou a pena pelo nosso pecado e resultou na] remissão completa dos nossos pecados, de acordo com as riquezas da Sua graça que Ele derramou abundantemente sobre nós.


Em toda a sabedoria e entendimento [com discernimento prático], Ele revelou-nos o mistério da Sua vontade, segundo o Seu beneplácito, que propôs em Cristo para a consumação dos tempos [isto é, o fim da história, o clímax das eras]: reunir em Cristo todas as coisas, tanto as que estão nos céus como as que estão na terra.


Nele também recebemos uma herança [um destino – fomos reivindicados por Deus como Seus], tendo sido predestinados (escolhidos, designados de antemão) conforme o propósito daquele que faz todas as coisas de acordo com o conselho e o desígnio da Sua vontade, para que nós, os que primeiro esperamos em Cristo [que primeiro depositamos a nossa confiança n’Ele como nosso Senhor e Salvador], existíssemos para o louvor da Sua glória.


Nele também vós, depois de ouvirdes a palavra da verdade, as boas novas da vossa salvação, e [em consequência] de crerdes n’Ele, fostes selados com o Espírito Santo da promessa [Aquele prometido por Cristo] como propriedade de Deus e protegidos [por Deus].


O Espírito é a garantia [a primeira parcela, o penhor, uma antecipação] da nossa herança até à redenção da possessão de Deus [adquirida] [os Seus crentes], para louvor da Sua glória.


Por isso, tendo ouvido falar da fé que tendes no Senhor Jesus e do amor que demonstram por todo o povo de Deus, não cesso de dar graças a Deus por vós, lembrando-me de vós nas minhas orações. [Rezo sempre] para que o Deus de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, o Pai da glória, lhes dê um espírito de sabedoria e de revelação, para que conheçam a Deus e a riqueza da glória da sua herança nos santos. [pois conhecemos o Pai por meio do Filho].


E [oro] para que os olhos do vosso coração sejam iluminados, para que conheçam a esperança da vossa vocação, as riquezas da glória da vossa herança nos santos e a suprema grandeza do vosso poder em nós, os que cremos.


Estas coisas estão de acordo com a atuação da Sua poderosa força, que Ele exerceu em Cristo quando O ressuscitou dentre os mortos e O fez assentar à Sua direita nos lugares celestiais, muito acima de todo principado, poder, autoridade e domínio [sejam angelicais ou humanos], e [muito acima de] todo nome que se possa mencionar [acima de todo título que possa ser conferido], não apenas neste século e mundo, mas também no vindouro.


E sujeitou todas as coisas [em todas as esferas] debaixo dos pés de Cristo, e [l]constituiu-O como [supremo e autorizado] cabeça sobre todas as coisas na igreja, que é o Seu corpo, a plenitude daquele que preenche e completa todas as coisas em todos [os crentes].


“Santos” refere-se aos crentes nascidos de novo. Todos os crentes são santos, isto é, separados ou santificados para o propósito de Deus.

No Novo Testamento, a palavra “esperança” expressa um desejo acalentado juntamente com a certeza confiante de obter aquilo que se almeja.

Uitgebreide Bybel

Die Seëninge van Verlossing


Paulus, 'n apostel (spesiale boodskapper, persoonlik gekose verteenwoordiger) van Christus Jesus (die Messias, die Gesalfde), deur die wil van God [dit wil sê, deur Sy doel en keuse],


Aan die heiliges (God se mense) wat in Efese is en getrou en lojaal en standvastig in Christus Jesus is: Genade vir julle en vrede [innerlike kalmte en geestelike welstand] van God onse Vader en die Here Jesus Christus.


Geseënd en lofwaardig is die God en Vader van onse Here Jesus Christus, wat ons geseën het met elke geestelike seëning in die hemele in Christus, net soos Hy [in sy liefde] ons in Christus uitverkies het [eintlik vir Homself as sy eie gekies het] voor die grondlegging van die wêreld, sodat ons heilig [dit wil sê, gewy, afgesonder vir Hom, doelgedrewe] en onberispelik voor Hom sou wees.


 In liefde het Hy ons voorbeskik om deur Jesus Christus as kinders van Homself aangeneem te word, volgens die welbehae van sy wil, tot lof van sy heerlike genade wat Hy ons in die Geliefde vrylik geskenk het.


In Hom het ons die verlossing deur sy bloed, wat die straf vir ons sondes betaal het en tot gevolg gehad het dat ons sondes heeltemal vrygemaak is na die rykdom van sy genade wat Hy oorvloedig aan ons bewys het.


In alle wysheid en insig het Hy aan ons die verborgenheid van sy wil bekend gemaak na sy welbehae, wat Hy in Christus voorgeneem het met die oog op die vervulling van die tye, om alle dinge in die hemele en wat op die aarde is, onder een hoof in Christus te verenig, beide die dinge in die hemele en die dinge op die aarde.


 In Hom het ons ook 'n erfdeel ontvang [’n bestemming – ons is deur God as Sy eiendom opgeëis], nadat ons vantevore bestem is (uitverkies, vooraf aangestel) volgens die voorneme van Hom wat alles volgens die raad en plan van Sy wil werk, sodat ons wat eerste op Christus gehoop het [wat eerste ons vertroue in Hom as ons Here en Verlosser gestel het] tot lof van Sy heerlikheid kan wees.


In Hom is julle ook, nadat julle die woord van die waarheid, die evangelie van julle redding, gehoor het en [gevolglik] in Hom geglo het, beseël met die seël van die Heilige Gees wat belowe is [die Een wat deur Christus belowe is] as besit en beskerm [deur God].


Die Gees is die waarborg [die eerste paaiement, die pand, 'n voorsmaak] van ons erfdeel tot die verlossing van God se eie [gekoopte] besitting [Sy gelowiges], tot lof van Sy heerlikheid.


Omdat ek gehoor het van julle geloof in die Here Jesus en julle liefde vir al God se gelowiges, hou ek nie op om vir julle te dank nie, en dink aan julle in my gebede. [Ek bid altyd] dat die God van onse Here Jesus Christus, die Vader van die heerlikheid, aan julle die Gees van wysheid en openbaring [wat julle 'n diep en persoonlike en intieme insig gee] in die ware kennis van Hom [want ons ken die Vader deur die Seun]. 


En [ek bid] dat die oë van julle hart [die middelpunt en kern van julle wese] verlig mag word [oorstroom met lig deur die Heilige Gees], sodat julle die hoop [die goddelike waarborg, die vaste verwagting] waartoe Hy julle geroep het, die rykdom van sy heerlike erfenis in die heiliges (God se mense), en [sodat julle sal begin weet] wat die onmeetlike en onbeperkte en oortreffende grootheid van sy [aktiewe, geestelike] krag is in ons wat glo. 


 Dit is in ooreenstemming met die werking van sy magtige krag wat Hy in Christus gewerk het toe Hy Hom uit die dood opgewek het en Hom aan sy regterhand in die hemele laat sit het, ver bo alle heerskappy en gesag en mag en heerskappy [hetsy engele of menslike], en [ver bo] elke naam wat genoem word [bo elke titel wat toegeken kan word], nie net in hierdie wêreld nie, maar ook in die toekomstige.


En Hy het alle dinge [in elke ryk] onder Christus se voete onderwerp en Hom as [opperste en gesaghebbende] Hoof oor alle dinge in die kerk aangestel, wat sy liggaam is, die volheid van Hom wat alle dinge in almal [gelowiges] vervul en voltooi.


“Heiliges” verwys na wedergebore gelowiges. Alle gelowiges is heilig, dit wil sê, afgesonder of geheilig vir God se doel.

In die Nuwe Testament druk die woord “hoop” 'n gekoesterde begeerte uit, tesame met die vaste versekering om te verkry wat verlang word.

THEY BANNED HIS BOOKS - HERE'S WHY

 Discover why denominations banned his books and tried to bury his revolutionary teachings about the finished work of Christ, the believer's authority, and the power of confession. 

He exposed the powerlessness of religious tradition and taught that Christians are not beggars but sons and daughters of God with legal rights in Christ. 

This message reveals the truth that religious institutions did not want you to know: you already possess what you've been begging for. 

Learn why healing is not something you ask for but something you enforce, why your confession creates your reality, and why the early church walked in supernatural power that the modern church has lost.

 If you've ever felt like there's more to Christianity than what you've been taught, this message will open your eyes to your true identity and authority as a new creation in Christ. That's your inheritance. 

These teachings were labeled extreme and heretical, but they were grounded entirely in Scripture and the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. 

Find out what the religious establishment feared most and why they worked so hard to keep this revelation from reaching believers. 

Your freedom begins when you understand who you really are in Christ and what has already been purchased for you through His blood. Identity, Inheritance, and Authority, all in Christ Jesus.


Why Denominations Churches Removed His Books From Their Libraries


Preacher and writer:

There is a truth that has been stolen from the church and hell depends on you never finding it.

 l am a preacher and I speak to you today not as a man seeking approval but as one who has witnessed the systematic burial of the most  powerful truths ever given to the body of Christ. 

   For decades, I have watched as religious institutions, denominations, and so-called spiritual leaders have locked away, banned, and removed my books from their book shelves. 

They have labeled my teaching as extreme, dangerous, and heretical. 

 But let me tell you what they really feared. 

   They feared that you would discover your legal rights in Christ. 

    They feared that you would stop begging and start commanding. 

   They feared that you would rise from spiritual poverty into the fullness of your inheritance. 

     And most of all, they feared that their entire system of religious control would collapse the moment you understood the finished work of the cross. 

   The question is not why they rejected my teaching. 

  The question is what were they protecting? 

What system? What tradition? 

 What powerless form of Christianity were they desperate to preserve? 

And more importantly, what truth were they hiding from you? 

If this message stirs something in your spirit. 

 If you sense that there is more to your walk with Christ than what you have been taught, I want you to do something. 

Say aloud the word authority

Declare it. 

Speak 🗣️ it into existence because the moment you acknowledge that you have been given authority in Christ,  hell trembles and heaven moves on your behalf. 

  Now, let me show you what they did not want you to know. They removed my books because I taught that the cross was finished. Not almost finished. Not partially finished, finished. Period. Done. 

 When Jesus Christ on the cross cried, "It is finished," he meant exactly that. 

The work of redemption was complete. 

Satan was defeated. 

Man was redeemed. 

The claims of justice were satisfied.

 There was nothing left to do, nothing left to beg for, nothing left to earn. 

 Yet the fallen and backslidden church in its religious blindness continued to teach people to plead, to wait, to hope, and to beg for what had already been purchased by Jesus Christ for those who believe. 

I refused to stand in pulpits and tell God's people to keep asking for healing when Isaiah 53 declared that by his stripes, you were healed

Listen.  Not you might be healed. Not you could be healed someday if God feels generous. 

You were healed. Period. Past tense, accomplished, settled. The stripes on Jesus's back were the legal payment for your physical redemption

The cross was the transaction. 

The resurrection was the receipt. 

And yet, denominations worldwide continued to send their congregations to prayer lines, begging God to do what He had already done 2,000 years ago. 

taught that faith does not beg. Faith receives. Faith declares. Only the Word of GOD. 

 Faith acts and this infuriated the religious establishment. Why? 

Because begging keeps people dependent on the system. 

Begging keeps them coming back week after week hoping that maybe this time, maybe if they pray hard enough, maybe if they give enough money, God will finally move. 

But when you teach people that they already have what they need, that the victory is already won, that they are already seated with Christ in heavenly places, you destroy the need for their religious machinery. 

They labeled me extreme because I dared to say that every time you ask God for healing, you repudiate the Word of God. 

That statement alone caused an uproar. 

But think about it. If the Word says you were healed, then to ask again is to act as if that truth is uncertain. 

 It is to put God on trial. It is to treat Calvary as though it were insufficient. 

 True faith of God does not plead for what redemption has already purchased. 

 True faith enforces the victory that has already been won. 

The religious leaders hated this because it stripped them of their power. 

They could no longer position themselves as mediators between you and God. 

They could no longer make you dependent on their prayers, their rituals, their approval. 

I taught that you as a born again believer have the same access to the Father that Jesus Christ has. 

 You are the righteousness of God in Christ. Present tense, not future. 

You are a new creation. You are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. 

You carry the very life and nature of God within you. 

And when you speak in the name of Jesus Christ, you speak with the authority of heaven itself. 

This truth was too much for them. They wanted a church full of spiritual beggars, not spiritual warriors. 

 They wanted people who would sit passively in pews waiting for God to do something rather than people who would rise up and enforce the victory of the cross of Jesus in their own lives and in the lives of others. 

So they banned my books. 

They whispered warnings about me in their seminaries. 

 They told their students to avoid my teaching. 

And for generations, the church attendees was robbed of the revelation that could have set them free. 

But here is what they could not bury. They could not bury the Word of God. 

And the Word of God says in Mark 16, "These signs shall follow them that believe. In my name shall they cast out devils. They shall lay hands on the  sick, and they shall recover." 

That is not a suggestion. That is a command. 

 That is your commission. 

You are not called to beg heaven for miracles. You are called to enforce the will of heaven on earth. 

I taught that the name of Jesus is not a religious phrase you tag on to the end of a prayer. 

It is the legal authority of  heaven placed into the mouth of every believer. When you speak in that name, you are not standing on your own merit. 

 You are backed by the throne of God. 

You are representing the government of heaven and every demon in hell must bow when that name is invoked with faith and conviction

The denominations churches rejected this because it threatened their theology of human helplessness. 

 They had built entire systems around the idea that man is a worm, that believers are unworthy sinners barely tolerated by a distant God. 

 But I taught what the scripture plainly says. You are not a sinner. You were a sinner, but now you are the righteousness of God in Christ

You are a son. You are a daughter .

You are an heir. You are seated with HIM, Christ Jesus, in heavenly places. 

And sons do not beg. Sons command. Sons enforce. 

Daughters do not beg. Daughters command. Daughters enforce.

 Sons walk in the authority of their Father's name.

Daughters walk in the authority of their Father's name.

 Romans 8:15 says, "Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." 

You were not a slave. You are not an orphan. You are a son of the most high God. You are a daughter of the most high God. 

And yet, how many Christians live like spiritual beggars, constantly pleading with God to give them what He has already freely given?

 I wrote extensively about the power of confession

 I taught that the words of your mouth 👄 create your spiritual reality. 

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue.

 You are constantly eating the fruit of your words. 

If you continually confess weakness, sickness, defeat, and poverty, you are giving the enemy legal ground in your life. 

 But when you begin to speak 🗣️ in agreement with the Word of God, when you boldly declare, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ. By his stripes, I am healed. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." 

 You are releasing the power of God into your circumstances.

 The denominations churches hated this teaching because it put responsibility back on the believer. 

It was easier to blame God for unanswered prayers than to acknowledge that their own words were sabotaging their faith. 

I taught that confession is not positive thinking. Confession is agreeing with God. It is speaking what He has already spoken.

 It is aligning your mouth with heaven. 

And when you do, you will see the power of God flow in ways you never imagined. 

But perhaps the most controversial thing I taught was this. 

The believer has the same standing before the Father that Jesus Christ has. 

 Let that sink in. 

When you were born again, you were not merely forgiven. 

You were made righteous. 

You were made a new creation. 

 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. "

This is not poetry. This is spiritual reality. 

You are not the old sinner trying to live a better life. 

You are a brand new creation born of God. 

Indwelt by His Spirit carrying His Divine Nature. 

The religious leaders could not accept this. 

They insisted on keeping believers trapped in a consciousness of sin, guilt, and unworthiness. 

They taught people to pray, "Lord, I'm just a sinner saved by grace." 

But that is not the language of the new creation. That is the language of death. 

 You were a sinner, but now you are the righteousness of God in Christ

And the moment you begin to confess that reality, authority begins to flow from your lips. 

I taught that the early church walked in a level of power that the current modern church has lost. 

And they lost it not because God changed but because they stopped believing what the Word says. 

 Acts 4:13 tells us that when the rulers saw the boldness of Peter and John, they marveled.  These were unlearned and ordinary men. 

 Yet their confidence shook the very powers of the day. That confidence did not come from education. 

 It came from knowing who they were in Christ and refusing to speak otherwise. Revelation Knowledge from the Holy Spirit brings Life to the believer. Five-senses knowledge only make one to feel religious.

 Today the church is filled with educated theologians who have no power. 

They can quote Greek and Hebrew. 

They can debate doctrines, but they cannot heal the sick. 

They cannot cast out demons. 

They cannot walk in the authority that Jesus Christ plainly gave to every believer. 

 Why? Because they have traded revelation of Jesus Christ for intellectualism. 

They have traded faith for philosophy.

 They have traded the real power of God for the approval of men. 

I refuse to do that. I refuse to soften the Word of God to make it palatable to religious tradition. 

And for that they removed my books. 

But they could not remove the truth. 

The truth is still here. The Word is still alive. 

And the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is still available to every believer who will dare to take God at His Word. 

Let me tell you what happens when you begin to walk in this revelation. 

You stop being a victim of circumstances. 

You stop living in fear of sickness, poverty, and demonic oppression. 

You begin to see yourself as God sees you. 

You begin to speak with authority. 

"I AM WHAT GID SAYS I AM

I HAVE WHAT GID SAYS I HAVE

I CAN DO WHAT GID SAYS I CAN "

These are your identity, inheritance and authority, all in Christ Jesus.

 You begin to lay hands on the sick and watch them recover. 

You begin to cast out demons. 

You begin to walk in divine health, divine provision, and divine favor. 

Why? Because you finally understand that these things are not favours you have to beg for. 

They are legal rights that have been purchased for you by the blood of Jesus Christ. 

 The denominations did not want you to know this. 

They wanted you to stay dependent on their programs, their rituals, their approval. 

But l am here to tell you that your freedom does not come from a denomination. 

 It comes from the revelation of who you are in Christ. Your identity. 

And once you get that revelation no man, no institution, no religious system can ever take it from you again. 

Now,  some of you hearing this are feeling something rising up inside of you. It is not rebellion. It is the spirit of God awakening you to the truth. 

  You have been living beneath your inheritance. 

You have been settling for spiritual poverty when heaven has already deposited riches and blessings   into your account. 

 You have been begging when you should have been commanding. 

You have been hoping when you should have been declaring. 

Let me give you the biblical truth that will change your life. 

We have prayed for what we already possess. 

Think about that. 

 How many prayers have you prayed asking God to heal you when He already bore your sickness on the cross? 

How many prayers have you prayed asking God to forgive you when He already removed your sin as far as the east is from the west

How many prayers have you prayed asking God to give you strength when His Spirit already dwells in you? 

The problem is not that God has not provided. 

The problem is that you have not received, and you have not received because you have not been taught what is already yours. 

The denominations  churches kept you in ignorance so they could keep you in bondage.

But today that bondage is broken. This moment .

Today you are hearing the truth. 

And Jesus Christ said, "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." 

Here is another principle. 

Confession builds the road over which faith carries its mighty cargo

Your words are not empty. 

They are creative. They are powerful.

 They are the vehicles through which your faith operates. 

When you change your confession, you change your life.

 Stop saying what the enemy says.

 Stop agreeing with the symptoms.

 Stop rehearsing the problem. 

Start declaring 🗣️ what God says. 

Start speaking life. 

Start calling those things that be not as though they were. 

 The prayer of faith is not the begging of an inferior. It is the claiming of the rights of a son, of a daughter, of God. 

You do not approach God as a beggar. 

You approach HIM as a son who knows his Father's will and expects that will to be done. 

And what is His will? 

 3 John 2 says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prosperth." 

That is not a passive hope. 

That is the active will of God for your life. 

The denominations churches removed my books because they could not control a church member that walked in this level of authority

A powerless church is easy to manage. 

A powerful church turns the world upside down. 

And they did not want the world turned upside down. They wanted order, control, predictability. 

But the kingdom of God is not about order. It is about power. It is about transformation. 

It is about the invasion of heaven into the realm of earth, darkness. 

And that invasion happens through you. 

You are the point of contact between the seen and the unseen. 

You are the bridge between heaven and earth. 

When you speak  the Word in faith, heaven responds.

When you act on the Word, miracles manifest. 

When you stand in your authority, demons flee. 

This is not theory. This is the normal Christian life as described in the book of Acts. 

And the only reason it is not normal today is because the church members has been taught to doubt, to fear, and to beg instead of to believe, to declare,  and to enforce. 

But I am telling you today, there is another way.

 There is a higher way.

 There is the way of faith of God, the way of authority, the way of victory. 

 And it begins the moment you stop accepting the religious lies that have kept you bound and start embracing the truth that sets you free. 

When  Lord Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of the Father, the work was finished. 

 When you take your seat in Him, you rest in that finished work. 

You do not strive. 

 You do not struggle.

 You do not beg.

 You simply believe what has already been done and act accordingly. 

That is the rest of faith. 

That is the victory of the believer. 

And that is what they did not want you to know.

 So yes, they removed my books. 

They called me extreme. 

They warned their congregations to stay away from my teaching.

 But every word I wrote was grounded in the scripture. 

Every principle I taught was rooted in the finished work of the cross of Jesus Christ. 

And every truth I proclaimed is still available to you today. 

The question is, what will you do with it? 

 Will you go back to the old way of begging and hoping? 

 Or will you step into the new way of declaring and receiving? 

Will you continue to live as a spiritual popper? 

 Or will you rise into the fullness of your inheritance as a son, a daughter of God? 

Your confession is the mother of your faith. It is the soil in which your faith grows. 

Speak life. 

Speak health. 

Speak victory. 

Speak abundance. 

Not because you are trying to manipulate reality, but because you are agreeing with the reality that God has already established through the blood of His Son.

 The word in your lips is God speaking. 

 Dare to say what He says, and He will make it good. 

This is not arrogance. 

 This is faith. This is authority

This is the believer walking in the fullness of what Christ has provided. 

The denominations church buried my books, but they could not bury the truth.

 And now that truth is in your hands. 

Now that truth is in your spirit. 

Now that truth is on your lips. 

And from this day forward, you will never be the same. 

Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

 Rise, son of God. Rise, daughter of Zion. 

Your day is now. 

Your victory is eternal. 

 Your destiny is divine. 

 The finished work of Christ is your foundation. 

The name of Lord Jesus Christ is your authority

The Word of God is your weapon. 

And the Holy Spirit is your power. 

They tried to silence this message. 

But greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. And no weapon formed against the truth of God shall prosper. 

You are free. 

You are righteous. 

You are healed. 

You are victorious. 

Not because I said so, but because God said so. 

And HIS Word is final. 

Now go walk in your authority

 Speak 🗣️ with boldness. 

Act in faith and watch as heaven confirms the Word with signs following. 

 This is your inheritance. 

This is your right. 

This is your destiny in Christ.







reflect the mind of Christ

 It is choosing to speak light into the dark, even when my emotions haven't caught up yet." 

Renewal, I've come to learn, is not an event. It is daily cooperation with grace. So tonight, as I quiet my thoughts once more, I whisper what has become my daily prayer. Renew my mind, Lord. Not just so I can think better, but so I can live freer, love deeper, walk stronger, so I can reflect the mind of Christ, not only in what I believe, but in who l am becoming. And if you walk with me through these pages, I hope you feel it too. That quiet stirring, that invitation. Because the God who authored your soul is also the one shaping your mind. He is not finished. He is not in a hurry. And he is not discouraged by your process. One repeated truth at a time. He is forming something new in you. A mind marked by clarity, peace, resilience,  and hope. This is the miracle already happening even now. Not by might, not by striving, but by the gentle repetition of truth again and again until it becomes who you are.

The phrase "Lord Jesus Christ" in Chinese is written as 耶穌基督 (Yēsū Jīdū). This phrase consists of two main components that convey significant meanings in Christian belief.


Breakdown of the Characters

Character; Pinyin; Meaning

耶穌 Yēsū Refers to "Jesus"

基督 Jīdū Means "Christ," signifying "the Messiah"


Significance of Each Character

耶穌 (Yēsū): This character represents Jesus. The pronunciation is close to the original Hebrew name "Yeshua," which emphasizes the connection to Jesus' Jewish roots.

基督 (Jīdū): This character means "Christ." It is derived from the Greek word "Christos," which translates to "the anointed one" or "Messiah." This title reflects Jesus' role as the savior in Christian theology.

Cultural Context

The use of these characters is significant in Chinese-speaking Christian communities, as they encapsulate the identity and mission of Jesus Christ. Understanding these characters helps believers connect with their faith in a culturally relevant way.


The Lamb of God Hidden in Chinese Characters

Abstract

The Chinese invented the ancient Chinese characters nearly 4500 years ago. They invented the characters independent of the ancient Sumerian and Egyptian writings. The earliest forms of the characters, ‘wen’ (wen), were pictures of objects and symbols. The ancient Chinese combined the ‘wen’ to make up compound characters (compound characters) in order to express complex ideas. Analysis of these two forms of the ancient Chinese characters that are associated with the sheep suggests that the Chinese recognised the spiritual representation of the sheep as the source of truthfulness, kindness, beauty, righteousness and eternity. These attributes are the same as those of God’s sacrificial Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ.


Introduction

Border Sacrifice (Border Sacrifice)

Long before the birth of Moses (1500 BC), in the ‘Legendary Period’ (preceding 2205 BC), the Chinese were already offering sacrifices to ShangDi (ShangDi) at Mount Tai in Shandong Province, at the eastern border of China (Shang Shu).1 HuangDi (Shang Shu), the emperor during the Legendary Period, as recorded in the Shi Ji (Shi Ji), built an altar so that a sacrifice could be made periodically to ShangDi. It was a tradition that only the worthy emperors, who also functioned as high priests to ShangDi, were allowed to perform the most magnificent sacrifice (Most Magnificent Sacrifice). ShangDi is frequently referred to as ‘Heaven’ (Tien, Tien) in the book of Shang Shu (Shang Shu) and Shi Ji (Shi Ji), and less frequently in Shi Zing (Shi Zing). The name ‘Tien’ was introduced by the Zhou people who overthrew the Shang dynasty in 1122 BC. It was during the reign of HuangDi that inventions such as currency, music, clothing, boats, wagons, a political system, and Chinese characters were all attributed directly or indirectly to HuangDi.

Introduction

Border Sacrifice (Border Sacrifice)

Long before the birth of Moses (1500 BC), in the ‘Legendary Period’ (preceding 2205 BC), the Chinese were already offering sacrifices to ShangDi (ShangDi) at Mount Tai in Shandong Province, at the eastern border of China (Shang Shu).1 HuangDi (Shang Shu), the emperor during the Legendary Period, as recorded in the Shi Ji (Shi Ji), built an altar so that a sacrifice could be made periodically to ShangDi. It was a tradition that only the worthy emperors, who also functioned as high priests to ShangDi, were allowed to perform the most magnificent sacrifice (Most Magnificent Sacrifice). ShangDi is frequently referred to as ‘Heaven’ (Tien, Tien) in the book of Shang Shu (Shang Shu) and Shi Ji (Shi Ji), and less frequently in Shi Zing (Shi Zing). The name ‘Tien’ was introduced by the Zhou people who overthrew the Shang dynasty in 1122 BC. It was during the reign of HuangDi that inventions such as currency, music, clothing, boats, wagons, a political system, and Chinese characters were all attributed directly or indirectly to HuangDi.


Confucius (philosopher and compiler of the Chinese Classics, 551–479 BC) considered the sacrifice to ShangDi so important that he made this statement, ‘He who understands the ceremonies of the sacrifices to Heaven and Earth … would find the government of a kingdom as easy as to look into his palm!’ 2 The sacrifice was called the Border Sacrifice and was moved from Mount Tai to Beijing in the 15th Century AD. The Chinese honoured ShangDi so much that the Temple of Heaven (Temple of Heaven) in the Forbidden City in Beijing, was constructed in the most magnificent architectural design. The Heaven-Worshipping Altar (Heaven-Worshipping Altar) was a great, three-tiered, white marble altar of ‘Heaven’, 75 metres in diameter, surrounded on each level by white marble railing. At each level the marble slabs were arranged in concentric circles, in ever increasing multiples of nine. In the very centre of the top tier was placed one circular stone called the Heavenly Heart Stone (Heavenly Heart Stone). The monumental undertaking of its construction was completed in AD 1530. During the Border Sacrifice the emperor often offered an unblemished bull and sometimes a beautiful sheep. The Border Sacrifice was not terminated until the Manchus were deposed in AD 1911. The details of the Border Sacrifice were recorded in the collected statutes of the Ming Dynasty (Ming Dynasty, AD 1366). These statutes were published during the Ming Dynasty as a result of two search committees that sought to determine the true nature of the ancient Chinese sacrifices. Faulty notions that were mistakenly added by previous emperors were corrected.


ShangDi and Yahweh

ShangDi is the supreme god of the Chinese. He is the Creator of the universe and earth, and the emperors were to obey the mandates of Heaven in order to rule the Chinese people with love, compassion and justice. Only the emperors that had done good deeds, acquired prestige, and had moral character were worthy to offer at the HeavenWorshipping Altar (Shi Ji) The Chinese Classics such as the ShangShu, Shi Ji, Y Zing, and Shi Zing (These classics were written in BC; at least a thousand years before Christianity came to China in about AD 620)3 revealed attributes of ShangDi that are consistent with that of Yahweh, the only true God of the Hebrews. First, ShangDi is the Creator of the universe, including humankind (Y Zing and Shi Zing). Second, the Y Zing gave the order of creation starting from heaven, then earth and all living things, and finally man and woman. This order of creation is the same as that of the book of Genesis. Third, ShangDi is just and demands the highest moral standard from the emperors and His people (Shi Ji and Shang Shu). Fourth, He is a personal God that seeks to communicate to His people through the high priest, the emperor. The emperors were to inquire from ShangDi about His blessing to the Chinese people. No personal benefit was asked by the emperors during the offering to ShangDi at the Border Sacrifice.4 Fifth, ShangDi is a spirit and the making of statues was strictly forbidden (Shang Shu). Sixth, ShangDi desires animal sacrifices, especially the bull and the lamb (Shi Ji and Shi Zing). For a detailed review of some of these attributes see James Legge5 and Zhofeng Wang.6


The blockage of the way to heaven

Humanity had disobeyed the rules of ShangDi. According to the ancient text of the Zhou dynasty (1122–781 BC), humankind’s sin resulted in an order given by the God of heaven (God of heaven) to His officers, Zhong and Li, to block up the way between heaven and earth.7 Since ShangDi is the Creator and a loving God, it would be reasonable that He would prepare a way to bring His alienated beings back to Him. Perhaps the answer to this question lies in the Chinese understanding of the spiritual representation of the sheep.


The spiritual symbolisation of sheep

The Chinese have recognised the spiritual symbolisation of a sheep in their society for centuries. For example, the filial act of a young sheep to kneel down in order to suck milk from its mother’s udder is used even today as a reminder that the Chinese people are supposed to humble themselves and respect their parents. There are general agreements among Chinese scholars that the sheep represents truthfulness, kindness and beauty. Besides these attributes, the sheep or the bull (representing loyalty) were the sacrificial animals to be offered to ShangDi. Emperor Tang, the founder of the Xia dynasty (1787 BC) disguised himself as the white unblemished sacrificial animal to take upon himself the sins of his people such that ShangDi would forgive them and send rain to stop the seven years of drought. The rain came in response to Emperor Tang’s humble actions on behalf of his people. Thus, the ancient Chinese understood that the sacrifice of the unblemished sheep and bull would take away their sins.


Did the ancient Chinese believe that the way back to heaven was through the sacrifice of the unblemished and kind sheep? In this paper we show that the ancient Chinese comprehended the importance of atoning for their personal sin, before a just and righteous Creator, through the act of sacrificing an unblemished lamb or sheep.


Materials and methods

Source of ancient Chinese characters

There are about three thousand ancient Chinese characters. They are the Bronzeware characters (characters found on bronze vessels, bronze vessels), and Oracle Bone characters (characters found on animal bones and tortoise shells, Oracle Bone Characters). The characters used in this analysis were taken from dictionaries published in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. The dictionaries used include Gu Wen Zi Lei Bian8 (Gu Wen Zi Lei Bian), Gu Zhuan Wen Da Zi Dian 9 (Gu Zhuan Wen Da Zi Dian), Shuo Wen Jie Zi10 (Shuo Wen Jie Zi), Chang Yong Gu Wen Zi Zi Dian11 (Chang Yong Gu Wen Zi Zi Dian Chang Yong Gu Wen Zi Zi Dian), Jin Shi Da Zi Dian12 (Jin Shi Da Zi Dian), Jin Wen Bian13 (Jin Wen Bian) and Jia Gu Wen Zi Dian14 (Jia Gu Wen Zi Dian). The majority of the characters were taken from Gu Wen Zi Lei Bian15 and Jia Gu Wen Zi Dian.16 Others were taken from the remaining dictionaries and were identified by either the names of the sacrificial vessels where the characters were found, or by the authors of the books.


Definitions of characters

The meanings of the characters were obtained from Mathew’s Chinese-English Dictionary, 17 and where necessary were taken from Chang Yong Gu Wen Zi Zi Dian18, Jia Gu Wen Zi Dian19, Shuo Wen Jie Zi20 [a book composed by Xu Shen (Xu Shen)] and the Chinese Classics. Xu Shen21 had access to the Lesser Seal Characters and was the first person to attempt to analyse Chinese characters to determine the true meaning of the ancient pictograms (pictograms) and ideograms (ideograms) in 86 BC. His catalogue, the Shuo Wen (Shuo Wen), was published in AD 120. Although modern Chinese scholars who study the Bronzeware and the Oracle Bone characters differ in some of their interpretations from Shuo Wen, this book is still their standard guide. The Bible verses are taken from New International Version (1984).22


Age of the Characters

The ages of the Chinese characters were classified according to the dynasty where the characters were found. The Bronzeware characters were dated as Shang (Shang, 1766–1121 BC), Early Zhou (Early Zhou, 1122–1002 BC), Middle Zhou (Middle Zhou, 1001–879 BC), Late Zhou (Late Zhou, 878–771 BC), Spring and Autumn (Spring and Autumn, 770–501 BC), and Warring States (Warring States, 500–255 BC). The Oracle Bone characters were dated as Phase I (Phase I, 1324–1266 BC), II (II, 1265–1226 BC), III (III,1225–1199 BC), IV (IV, 1198–1192 BC), and V (V, 1191–1123 BC).


Choice of Chinese characters for analysis

Forms of Chinese characters

We chose both the Bronzeware and Oracle Bone characters to tell a complete story about the spiritual symbolisation of a sheep for several reasons. First, this methodology is inclusive. It includes characters that are found only in Bronzeware or Oracle Bone inscriptions. This is particularly important because the Oracle Bone characters were inscribed for the purpose of divination. That is why many Oracle Bone characters were difficult to interpret because they were largely used for names and places. Hence, it is a biased source of characters. Second, some of the Bronzeware characters contain additional parts compared to the Oracle Bone counterparts. This is important because scribes found it necessary to include additional parts to convey complex ideas. Often multiple forms of the same characters were invented. Perhaps some were invented by different persons at different places. However, it is our supposition that the scribes at different times and places were still using the same system to invent characters because the additional parts and the alternate forms created did give a better understanding of complex ideas. Third, the shapes of the Bronzeware characters were close to the original shapes of the pictures.


The Chinese characters have changed over time. The Greater Seal Characters (Greater Seal Characters) were developed around 800 BC by a court historian, Zhou (Zhou). However, Confucius stated that the Chinese scribes at his time became ignorant and began to make numerous mistakes in the writing. Therefore we excluded the characters that were invented after 500 BC from this analysis.


Classes of Chinese characters

The Chinese characters were classified into two great classes: the ‘Wen’ (Wen), simple pictures, and the ‘Zi’ (Zi), compound characters.23 Characters from the first great class are most ancient and basic and are called pictograms. These pictures were subdivided into Xiang-xing (Xiang-xing , pictures) and Zhi Shi (Zhi Shi, indicative symbols). The Xiang-xing characters were invented to portray the pictures of objects. For example the character for sheep (sheep), mouth (mouth), and fish (fish) were such pictures. The Zhi-shi are symbols such as above (above) and below (below).


The compound characters are subdivided into Xing Sheng (Xing Sheng), Jia Jie (Jia Jie), Zhuan Zhu (Zhuan Zhu) and Hui Yi (Hui Yi). The Xing Sheng (Xing Sheng) are phonetic characters where one part gives the sound of the word and another part indicates the picture of the subject. Take for example the ‘Zi’ mother (Zi). This ‘Zi’ is pronounced as ‘ma’ (ma), although ‘ma’ is a horse. The left part indicates it is a woman (woman). The Jia Jie means one ‘Zi’ but has multiple meanings (Jia Jie). For example the ‘Zi’ “ Zi” ‘means to come. But the original meaning was a crop (crop), and was borrowed to become a verb, to come (to come). The Zhuan Zhu (Zhuan Zhu) are multiple characters that have the same meaning and sound (Characters that have the same means and sound). For example the ‘Zi’ ‘ Zi’ and ‘ Zi’ both mean to change. Finally the ideograms (Hui Yi, Hui Yi) are most interesting. This class of characters was invented by combining two pictures or symbols to communicate complex ideas(Communicate complex ideas). (To combine) means to combine (to combine); (Pictures and Symbols) means pictures and symbols; (Meaning of Word) means meaning of word (Meaning of Word). A combination of two, or more pictures, or symbols together result in a new character with a new meaning. For example, this character (Good) means good, and consists of a woman (Woman) and a man (Man). For a complete review of the classes of Chinese characters, please see Lai Ming De.24 Our analyses of the Chinese characters were those of the pictograms (Pictograms), and ideograms (Ideograms) because they are artistic and communicate meaningful ideas.


Systematic analysis of Chinese characters

It is our opinion that the ancient scribes used a systematic methodology to invent or to expand their characters. It has been reported that Cang Xie (Cang Xie), the inventor of the Chinese characters, was displeased by some of the ways the characters were invented before him. He wanted to develop a system of writing that could be used by all the people and would especially preserve the Chinese history.25,26 Although Chinese Scholars believe that the ancient Chinese characters were created by more than one person at different times and places, they believe the same system was used by all ancient scribes after Cang Xie. Therefore, any special interpretation ascribed to a ‘Wen’, simple pictures and symbols, should hold true for all ‘Zi’, compound characters, with which it is associated. Hence, we will present characters that are associated with the sheep to tell the story of the Lamb of God.


Results

Sheep as a blessing from ShangDi

The character for sheep (sheep) is a picture of the front view of a sheep (Figure 1). It shows the two horns and a mouth and a nose.29 The Chinese character for blessing (blessing) is also written as (blessing). The left part ‘ left part’ is the radical (the ‘ABCs’ of the writing) for ShangDi. Thus the Chinese perceived the sheep to be a blessing from God.


Figure 1

Figure 1. Yang, 7247. A sheep. This figure shows the variation of the forms of the picture of a sheep. The pronunciation of the character Yang, and the definition of the character, a sheep, was taken from Mathew’s Chinese-English Dictionary.27 The number refers to the identification of the character that can be found in the body of the dictionary. The pronunciation of the character is the modern Chinese ‘Pin Yin’. The number on the upper right hand side of the ‘Li Zi’ character is the tone of the character. The Chinese characters are pronounced with 5 tones. The tones are divided into 1, low; 2, half-low; 3, middle; 4, half-high and 5, high. This character is a picture of the front view of a sheep. It shows the two horns and a mouth and a nose (Shuo Wen Jie Zi, Shuo Wen Jie Zi).28 Some characters that were not dated were noted with the kind of sacrificial vessel on which the characters were found. The Oracle Bone Characters were classified according to Phase I to V (Phase I to IV). The Bronzeware Characters were classified according to the dynasties such as the Shang (Shang) and the Zhou (Zhou).


Sheep as a sacrificial animal

The emperor was very particular about the selection and the preparation of the sacrificial animal in order to please ShangDi. The evening before the sacrifice was to occur, the bull, or sometimes a sheep, was thoroughly inspected and cleansed. The Chinese offered a bull and a sheep as sacrificial animals to ShangDi, and also to their ‘worthy’ ancestors. A sheep, viewed as gentle, together with a bull, an animal that represented loyalty, were used as sacrificial animals (Figure 2 and 3).


Figure 2

Figure 2. Gao, 3282. A lamb. This character consists of a sheep and fire. It is a sacrificial animal, a burnt offering.30


In Figure 2 the sheep is above the fire, suggesting it is a burnt offering.34 The burnt offering is specially offered to ShangDi. In Figure 3 a bull and a sheep together make up a character to mean offering. However, the sheep is found in additional characters that mean to offer. Perhaps the sheep is more popular because of the broader spiritual meanings it symbolises. The pavilion-like building (Pavillion-like building) in front of which the sheep is offered, in another character for sacrifice (sacrifice) is most likely the temple of God because of the three layers of the building. The Temple of Heaven as shown in Beijing’s ‘Forbidden City’ is the most beautiful and tallest, and its roof consists of three levels. Other forms of the building, consisting of one to two levels, may also represent the temple of the ancestor since the lamb was frequently offered to the deceased ‘worthy’ ancestors.



Figure 3

Figure 3. There are at least six characters that mean sacrificial animals.31,32 Two characters that are not listed in this figure are (Character, Character). In each case it is a bull or a sheep or both. The meaning of the second character (B) was taken from Wang Yan Ling.33 The building-like picture in the fourth character (D) is a temple.


Sheep as the bearer of sin

The character for to offer, to blush, to feel ashamed (to offer, to blush, to feel ashamed, Figure 3C) expresses the need to lay hold on a sheep with one’s own hand (hand ) to atone for personal guilt of wrongs committed against ShangDi. There are two forms of the character. The lamb with two hands should simply mean the offering up of the sheep to someone, and the other form that shows a single hand laid upon the head of the lamb should mean shame. In another lesser seal character, meaning sincere, true, to bear, to perform [ seal character = temple (temple) + sheep (sheep) + rod (rod) + hand (hand)], there is the suggestion that the sacrificial sheep did not struggle during the sacrificial ceremony, but quietly submitted itself to the punishment that was inflicted with a rod in the hand.


Sheep as the means to resolve conflicts

A sacrificial sheep that represents blessings and bearer of sins also means reconciliation to the Chinese. The character (To Harmonise, To Harmonise, To Harmonise) meaning to harmonise and to adjust suggests that the kindness of a sheep can calm down two fires (Figure 4).34 The centre of the two fires (fires) is replaceable with word (word), sheep (sheep) and a big T (T). The big hand (big hand) written below the sheep, and in between two fires suggests that a person is trying to harmonise the two fires with the help of the meekness and the kindness of a sheep. Each character for fire could represent a person as is shown in the character blaze (blaze). The Oracle Bone character is written as (Oracle Bone). Notice that the person (person) is later changed to two fires. The big T that replaces the word and the sheep is similar to the radical for God (God) and could represent....

The primary Chinese character for Jesus is written as 耶穌 (Yēsū), a phonetic transliteration used across Mandarin-speaking populations. Beyond this modern label, many linguistic scholars and theologians point to ancient characters like 義 (Righteousness), which visually depicts a 'Lamb' (top character ) over 'Me,' ( bottom character) as evidence of early spiritual concepts mirroring Christian doctrine. Understanding these characters requires a look at both modern linguistics and ancient etymological theories.

To understand the full scope of this topic, we must first analyze how the modern name of Jesus was established in the Chinese language.

The Modern Transliteration: How to Write Jesus in Chinese

Key Takeaway: The name 耶穌 is a phonetic rendering chosen by early missionaries to approximate the sound of 'Jesus' in local dialects.

To understand the Chinese name for Jesus, one must look at the phonetic construction of the characters used today. While modern scholars often look for hidden theological meanings within characters, the standard name 耶穌 was primarily a linguistic bridge.

When determining how to write Jesus in Mandarin, early Protestant and Catholic missionaries prioritized sound over semantic depth. They sought characters that mimicked the Latin Iesus or the Greek Iēsoûs.

The Phonetic Choice of 耶穌

The choice of 耶穌 (Yēsū) allows the speaker to replicate the sibilant and vowel sounds of the original name. While the characters were chosen for their sound, the literal meanings of the individual components provide an interesting, if coincidental, linguistic backdrop.

Character ;Pinyin; Meaning

Often used for 'yea' or phonetic sounds

To revive or wake up

Although 穌 (Sū) carries the meaning "to revive," its selection was largely based on its phonetic value rather than an intentional attempt to embed the theology of the Resurrection into the name itself.


Regional Variations

While the characters 耶穌 remain standard across written Chinese, the spoken realization varies significantly across the Sinitic languages. In Mandarin, the name is pronounced Yēsū, whereas in Cantonese, the pronunciation shifts closer to Ye-sou.

These variations highlight the complexity of adapting a Chinese name for Jesus within a logographic system. The primary goal was to provide a recognizable identifier that could be unified in print while remaining accessible to the diverse phonetic landscapes of Protestant and Catholic congregations.

With the modern name established, we can now explore the deeper, ancient theories surrounding the 'Gospel in Hanzi.' 

The Gospel in Hanzi: Hidden Symbolism in Ancient Script

Key Takeaway: The character for Righteousness (義) is often cited by theologians as a visual metaphor for the Lamb covering the individual.

The Mystery of Righteousness (義)

The study of Etymology within the Chinese writing system often reveals a depth that goes beyond phonetic representation. Proponents of the "Gospel in Hanzi" theory suggest that the Chinese character for righteousness Jesus researchers point to is found within the structure of 義 (yì). This character is frequently analyzed through its Oracle Bone Script origins to uncover potential biblical parallels.


From an objective standpoint, the hidden gospel in Chinese symbols is viewed by some as a remnant of a primitive monotheistic belief system. They argue that the ancient Chinese understood Righteousness not as a personal achievement, but as a state of being positioned under a higher power. This narrative approach to linguistics suggests that the script itself acted as a vessel for spiritual preservation.

The Sacrificial Lamb

Central to this decoding is the 羊 (yáng), representing the lamb. In ancient Chinese culture, the lamb was a symbol of purity and was frequently used in sacrificial rites. When analyzing the gospel in Hanzi theory, the placement of the 羊 is crucial to the internal logic of the character's construction.


The following table deconstructs the components of 義 to illustrate how the Lamb of God is perceived to interact with the individual in this ancient script:


Component; Symbolism

羊 Lamb of God / Purity

我 The Individual / Me

義 The Lamb covering the individual

In this structural breakdown, the 羊 is positioned directly above 我. To proponents of this theory, this visual hierarchy represents the "covering" of the sinful self by the innocent sacrifice. This provides a stark contrast to modern transliterations of "Jesus" (耶稣 - Yēsū), which focus strictly on phonetic matching rather than the ideographic depth of Righteousness.

Beyond individual righteousness, some scholars point to larger historical narratives, such as the Great Flood, encoded within the script.

Biblical Narratives in Hanzi: The Ark and the Creation

Key Takeaway: The Chinese character for boat (船) consists of radicals meaning 'vessel,' 'eight,' and 'mouth,' which many link to the eight survivors of Noah's Ark.

The Character for Boat (船)

In the study of ancient Chinese biblical parallels, the logogram 船 (chuán) is often cited as a profound example of embedded narrative. When analyzed through its constituent radicals, the character breaks down into three specific elements: 舟 (zhōu), meaning a vessel; 八 (bā), the number eight; and 口 (kǒu), which signifies a mouth or, figuratively, a person.


Scholars supporting the "Gospel in Hanzi" theory argue that this combination is not coincidental. They point to the Genesis account of the Great Flood, where Noah's Ark carried exactly eight people—Noah, his wife, their three sons, and their wives—to safety. The presence of these specific components within the standard character for a large ship suggests a secret gospel in Chinese characters that predates the formal introduction of Western scripture to the region.

The Creation of Dust

The theme of human origins provides another analytical bridge between Genesis and Hanzi. The character 造 (zào), which means "to create," is frequently examined for its structural relationship to the biblical account of man's animation. It is composed of the radicals for 土 (dust or earth), 口 (mouth or breath), and 辶 (walking or movement).


This morphological structure aligns with the narrative that the Creator formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed life into him, resulting in a living being capable of movement. This perspective suggests that the ancient Chinese biblical parallels found in such characters represent a shared primeval history. By dissecting these symbols, researchers attempt to decode a theological framework hidden within the evolution of the Chinese script.


While these linguistic parallels are compelling, they must be examined alongside the historical arrival of Christianity in China.

Historical Context: From the Nestorian Stele to Matteo Ricci

Key Takeaway: Christianity has existed in China since the 7th century, providing over a millennium of linguistic evolution for the name of Jesus.

The Luminous Religion of the Tang Dynasty

The history of Christianity in China began in earnest during the 7th century. A Persian monk named Alopen arrived at the imperial capital of Chang’an in 635 AD, marking the first recorded presence of the Gospel in the Middle Kingdom.

Under the Tang Dynasty, these early believers established what they called Jingjiao, or the "Luminous Religion." This era is famously documented on the Nestorian Stele, an 8-foot-tall limestone monument that preserves early Chinese Christian translations and theological summaries.

During this period, the Chinese character Jesus was often rendered through phonetic approximations that sounded like "Yishu." These early attempts at Hanzi theory focused on capturing the sounds of Syriac or Persian, creating a linguistic bridge between East and West.


Jesuit Contributions to Translation

Nearly a millennium later, the arrival of Matteo Ricci in the 16th century revolutionized the way Christian concepts were written. As a Jesuit scholar, Ricci sought to synthesize Christian doctrine with traditional Confucian values to reach the ruling elite.

Ricci’s work focused on refining the modern transliteration process. He moved away from the obscure phonetics of the Jingjiao era and helped standardize the terminology that would define the history of Christianity in China for the next several centuries.

The Jesuit era introduced a more sophisticated approach to early Chinese Christian translations. By selecting characters with auspicious meanings, they ensured the name of Jesus was not just a foreign sound, but a title that carried spiritual weight within the Chinese script.

Understanding this rich history leads us to our final thoughts on the enduring power of these linguistic connections.
