   The Gospel of Tarcisius   
   Do you think there is a resurrection in the future, Nicodemus asked Jesus one   
   day. Jesus looked at the Rabbi. Some say I am the Christ. I descend from   
   Zerubbabel, who built the second temple. Surely my bloodline is messianic.   
   What do you think? Nicodemus    
   considered that. It is true. Zerubbabel has been considered a messianic   
   figure. Art thou of the House of Christ, then? Jesus replied, It could well   
   be. In my deeds and actions I follow the exmple of the prophets in their   
   utterances. I attempt to be    
   Christ-Like, and follow the figure the Son of God truly should. This has been   
   the purpose of my Gospel ministry in many ways. A son of Israel, with God, who   
   is our heavenly father, as Malachi the prophet teaches. If King David, as the   
   psalm recalls, can    
   be called the firstborn Son of God, should not I, Jesus of Nazareth, with a   
   comprehensive ministry of Gospel truth, should not I, descendant of David,   
   descendant of Zerubbabel, attempt to be Christ, if such a thing were   
   available. I can not say with    
   absolute truth that I am Christ, but I know my disciples often think this, and   
   at times I do not disuade them from that, as I do like the glory of the idea.   
   Who wouldn't? A Christ could be born in every generation, couldn't he?   
   Jeremiah taught that there    
   would always be available to the House of Israel someone to sit on the throne   
   of King David, and for Levitical priests to offer sacrifices. I am attempting   
   that idea – to be the Levitical Priest and Christ of David, and offer my own   
   life in sacrifice.    
   Is that noble? Or is it vanity? And the sacrifice I offer is my own life, and   
   my own ministry, and my heart, flesh, blood and soul. I offer it for my   
   followers, a dear bride to me, for such is my love and affection for them. It   
   is birthed, these truths,    
   in scriptural principles. In ideas of the Holy Torah. It may not be the   
   purpose of the Torah in every way, but it has been a source of inspiration for   
   these ideas none the less, even if in my own way and own understanding which I   
   do pray is acceptable to    
   God, as I pray the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart always will   
   be. These words I say to you, they are inspired from the Covenant of God, the   
   Rainbow itself is a heart of my words in my own way, for even in Holy Noah do   
   I find inspiration and    
   words of truth. But what can I say? Maybe I am a heretic, Nicodemus. A poor   
   fool. A Christ complex perhaps, and nothing more. But, if in my foolishness I   
   can draw men to God, and give them life and meaning, and be a holy way to the   
   Father, perhaps such a    
   fool I should become? How do you say? Nicodemus looked at him. Can we not all   
   be holy fools at time, dear Jesus of Nazareth. We are only human, aren't we?   
   Only human. Jesus stood there. A resurrection is a possibility. I can not say   
   with absolute    
   certainty, for the scriptures are the true word of God, but I sometimes ask   
   how Isaiah came to his words, and whether his own heart had much of a say in   
   the making of things. Perhaps resurrections of the dead in a future kingdom of   
   Glory can not really,    
   truly be. And life, this thing called life, just rolls on and on, through   
   time, world without end. Amen. But maybe, just maybe, in the dim and distant   
   future, at the end of the Age, maybe then there will be a resurrection of the   
   dead. Maybe I will be    
   received in glory that day, when God Almighty judges mankind, and the trumpet   
   rings out and the holy angels call God's own chosen people home, who have   
   served him throughout the age. It is something I shall teach, a second coming   
   if you like, to my    
   followers, and I think I shall, for I shall defend what the scriptures say,   
   regardless, for verily they must be kosher, mustn't they? But of the truth of   
   things, well, what is truth? What is truth? And they sat, and watched the   
   Jordan flow on by, and    
   were at peace in the heart of the Kingdom of God.
