The Mission Has Begun
Our journey back from the Far East was a remarkable experience. I had the privilege of connecting with people from diverse religions and backgrounds, and it was evident that they were drawn to the energy of the Holy Spirit. This universal force touched the hearts of many, and it was undeniable—it was a part of us, if not us ourselves. I became known as a disciple of Issa, and our circle of disciples continued to grow as we embarked on our mission. Although I couldn't communicate with them through spoken words, I shared the touch of the Holy Spirit, and in response, they would humble themselves, coming to their knees and bowing in gratitude to both Yeshua and me.
Yeshua recognized that his work in the Far East had limitations, and he yearned for more time to sit with his disciples and impart his teachings. He was aware that his days as a public teacher were numbered, and he felt a deep sense of purpose in ensuring that his mission would endure through his devoted disciples. As you'll come to learn, I held a unique position as the first disciple, and there was much more to come in our journey.
Upon our return to the Galilee, we settled in Magdala, a place that held significant meaning for both of us. Magdala was more than just a location; it was a symbol of transformation and rebirth. It was here that Yeshua had performed miracles, healed the sick, and delivered his teachings to crowds of eager followers. And it was here that I had first encountered him, a meeting that had changed the course of my life forever.
Our return to Magdala marked a new chapter in our lives. We established a small community of disciples and followers, who gathered regularly to listen to Yeshua's teachings. These gatherings were intimate and filled with a sense of divine presence. Yeshua's words resonated deeply with those who listened, and many experienced profound spiritual awakenings in his presence.
As Yeshua's teachings gained popularity, so did our community. People from all walks of life came to hear him speak, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation and reverence. Yeshua's message of love, compassion, and inner transformation touched the hearts of many, and his reputation as a spiritual teacher spread far and wide.
Despite the growing following, Yeshua remained humble and dedicated to his mission. He continued to perform miracles, healing the sick and even raising the dead. These acts of divine power served as a testament to the truth of his teachings and further solidified his status as a revered spiritual figure.
Sar'h, now a young girl, played a vital role in our community. Her wisdom and spiritual insight were well beyond her years, and she often shared her own teachings with the children who gathered around her. It was clear that she had inherited Yeshua's gift of spiritual insight, and her presence brought a sense of purity and innocence to our gatherings.
As our community grew, so did the challenges we faced. The religious authorities of the time viewed Yeshua's teachings as a threat to their authority, and they began to scrutinize his every move. We knew that our path was fraught with danger, but Yeshua remained steadfast in his commitment to his divine mission.
One fateful day, as Yeshua was delivering a particularly powerful sermon, we received word that the religious authorities had issued orders for his arrest. It was a moment of great turmoil and uncertainty. We knew that we had to protect Yeshua and preserve his teachings, but we also understood the risks we faced.
In the darkness of night, we made the difficult decision to go into hiding. Yeshua, Sar'h, and I, along with a few trusted disciples, retreated to a remote location in the wilderness. It was a challenging time, marked by isolation and uncertainty, but it was also a period of deep spiritual introspection.
During those days in hiding, Yeshua shared his most profound teachings with us. He spoke of the inner kingdom of God, a realm of consciousness that transcended the physical world. He imparted wisdom about the nature of suffering, the power of forgiveness, and the importance of unconditional love.
As we listened to Yeshua's words, it became clear that our mission was not just to share his teachings with others but to embody them fully in our own lives. We were being called to become living examples of the divine principles he espoused.
Months passed, and the intensity of our spiritual journey deepened. We lived simply, in communion with nature and the rhythms of the earth. Yeshua continued to perform miracles, not as public displays of power, but as expressions of divine love and compassion.
Despite the hardships, our time in hiding was a period of profound transformation. We emerged from that wilderness experience with a deeper understanding of the spiritual truths Yeshua had shared with us. We were no longer just followers; we had become living vessels of his teachings.
When the time was right, we returned from our sanctuary in the wilderness. The world had not become a more accepting place for Yeshua's message, but we were undeterred. We continued to gather with our community, sharing the timeless wisdom that had been imparted to us during our time in hiding.
The events that followed are well-documented in historical texts, but our journey was far from over. The trials and tribulations that lay ahead would test our faith and resilience, but we faced them with unwavering determination, for we knew that we carried a sacred mission—to awaken the hearts and minds of all who were ready to receive the message of love and transformation.
In the end, it was not the religious authorities or the challenges of the world that would define our legacy. It was the love, compassion, and unwavering faith that Yeshua, Sar'h, and I shared with the world. Our journey was a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the capacity for divine love to transform lives.
Valeria’s Conclusion and Teachings;
Yeshua’s determination became Mary’s, because they were indeed one. That love and respect can only come with a deep connection and commitment to one another, and it’s usually without any words, it’s an unspeakable knowing and understanding. They have that. Mary speaks of Yeshua here so much of him and she seems submissive, but she isn’t. She is being loving and respectful, because she knows he needs that from her at this time that she is speaking of. There are many times that Yeshua allows her to lead in their lives, such as the period of the Crucifiction when Mary anoints Yeshua. During the time of Yeshua (Jesus), it was not common for a woman to anoint a Rabbi or teacher with expensive perfume in the manner described in the Bible. Mary Magdalene's act of anointing Jesus with costly perfume and wiping his feet with her hair was considered a highly unusual and extravagant gesture.
In the cultural and social context of that era, women were generally not expected to take on such a role of publicly anointing or interacting with religious leaders or teachers in this way. Mary Magdalene's action was seen as an expression of her deep devotion and love for Jesus, and it was viewed as a significant and extraordinary act.
The Bible accounts of this event emphasize the uniqueness of Mary Magdalene's actions and highlight the contrast between her act of devotion and the reactions of others who were present at the time. It is often interpreted as a symbol of her profound faith and love for Jesus.
With that said, the act of Mary Magdalene anointing Jesus is indeed a powerful symbol of the deep connection and love between them. While this event is often discussed in the context of Mary's devotion to Jesus, it also reflects the significance of their relationship and the respect and love that Jesus had for her.
