Healing of the blind man - truths to be noted
- V005 - The man born blind from birth
  - 001 Joh 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
- V010 - Disciples asked - did the man sin(when?, blind from birth!) or his parents (judment from YHWH)
  - 001 Joh 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind
- V015 - Man may be subjected to suffering - YHWH's works are to be shown through him
  - 001 Joh 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
- V020 - YESHUA is to work while there is light - when darkness comes no man can work
  - 001 Joh 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
- V025 - While YESHUA is in the worls He is light of the world - showing the good and bad, showing the way for the good, judgment on the bad
  - 001 Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
- V030 - YESHUA made clay with spittle, applied it to the eyes and sent the blind to wash himself in the pool of Siloam
  - 001 Joh 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
  - 002 Joh 9:7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

    - Tension between YESHUA and the Pharisees have been building up over time. It appears that that tension has reached breaking point - YESHUA time after time left these speachless, or ashamed wih His answers, or extremely angered by claiming YHWH's Son. Slowly they lost their grip on power over people, they were defenceless when it came to His logic and especially miracles. They were out maneuvered at every turn. they were with their backs against the wall. frustrated.
      But one of the things that irritated them the most was the YESHUA seemingly deliberately did many of these miracles on their untouchable and holy Sabbath.
      And here YESHUA did it again. But this time He "worked", illegally, by making clay from spittle - the Pharisees apparently prohibited spitting on the Sabbath as it "turned over the soil as in plowing". To add insult to injury, He ordered the man to wash himself, and then heal the man of blindness in the process.
      Undeniably a supernatural act. They realised they had only two choices left - accept and bow before this "born of fornication" dispicable irritation, or get rid of Him.
      YHWH was stearing the process to the point of breaking, when they would finally snap and murder YESHUA. Logically, this was the only option left to man upon eating the fruit, having become as gods. Submit and bow before YHWH - or kill Him.
      Exactly what happened when the flood, and the language issue prevented them.
      The world is in its very last stretch of trying this for the third and final time... Prepare self - the conflict is going to effect each and every person on earth - and believers will have to make the choice - be faithful and become headless, or deny YESHUA and be condemned into hellfire.
- V035 - Recognizing the eartwhile blind man and the discussion following
  - 001 Joh 9:8 The neighbors therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
  - 002 Joh 9:9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
  - 003 Joh 9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
- V040 - The blind man gave witness of the simple fact
  - Note
    - This eartwhile blind man's character is seriously commendable. He proves Himself to be very intelligent - outwitting the Pharisees, his words hit the bulls' eye - the center of their hypocracy.
      But here he openly acknowledge that he was blind - knowing and accepting the highly tense context and the consequences that would follow his acknowledgement.
  - 001 Joh 9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

    - A true witness - describing the actual event with great accuracy.
- V045 - They asked where YESHUA was
  - 001 Joh 9:12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
- V050 - The people brought the man to the Pharisees
  - 001 Joh 9:13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
  - 002 V05 - Comment
    - The lowness, dark and deep wickedness of man has no end. Here was a miracle equal to any of the miracles done in the desert - and many since - which YHWH alone could be responsible for.
      Yet the people are blind, and unthankful, with NO care for their blind fellow Israelite/Jerusalemite, being lifted out of his misery - and took him to the lawyers to charge him, and his Healer.
      What a miserable, blind, hard, wayward wicked people - given over to and controlled by darkness.
- V055 - YESHUA chose a very sensitive time to heal the man - the ONE law the Pharisees treasured to conveniently break with trivial arguments
  - 001 Joh 9:14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
  - 002 Comment
    - Here John reveals the reason for the upheaval - the "untouchable" Sabbath - the "untouchability" only a figment of their imagination.
      They broke all the other commands (of YHWH), and the Sabbath by instituting rediculous and laughable exceptions to YHWH's instructions, but judged YESHUA on their "law".
- V060 - The Pharisees do a mock investigation - they are the ones that need to stand in YHWH's dock
  - 001 Joh 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

    - Typical of people caught up in a tremendous storm in the mind caused by cognitive dissonance - asking the same question over and over again, as if the next time the answer will be different and the unease of conflicting and unpleasant thoughts would be relieved.
      They were confronted with a very unpleasant reality, for them - this YESHUA is a prophet like Moses THE Prophet Moses spoke about - but then they had to bow before the Man they dispised, or they had to focus on "their" Sabbath and declare Him a sinner, nullifying the inevitable truth of the healing, and the concommitant implications.
      Crises. Exterminate the little god of their own making - or bow before a humble YHWH, who this Man low represents. They had to rip apart their expectation, that the conquering Messaih would free them from the Romans and appoint them in high positions in his kingdom - and accept the demands of this man - or get rid of Him.
      It is like vomiting out (sorry) the forbidden fruit, confessing and denying forbidden knowledge - or challenge YHWH.
      There can ever be only one high god. EVER. In a person's life.
      What will we do today? Will we exterminate, or give over to be exterminated, our own (many) little gods?
- V065 - The Pharisees are divided - some are deeply blind, others have some truth coming through their thick heads and rock hard hearts
  - 001 Joh 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
- V070 - They, Instead of using their own minds, hearts and concience to recognise YHWH behind the miracle, asked the man
  - 001 Joh 9:17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.

    - Like Adam reflecting the stark reality, placing the judgment of the event on the shoulders of the healed man.
      Deceptive. Weaklings.
      He, and here his character starts to shine - He in all probability refers to the Prophet Moses spoke about. And if so, judged the Pharisees.
      YHWH was to require it of them, should they ignore Him.
- V075 - The Pharisees were so stunned - and confronted with truth - they had to find a way out, desperately. Typical behaviour proof of demon activity.
  - 001 Joh 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until, they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
  - 002 Comment
    - Like trapped wild animals, they desperately look for and escape route.
      Maybe this is a false claim. The parents will possibly deny that this man was blind from his birth.
      Man will ever try to find an excuse to ignore unpleasant truths...
- V080 - The parents were in the same category as the rest of the Jerusalemites - not willing to pay the price for believing in YESHUA, their associations were too precious
  - 001 Joh 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
  - 002 Joh 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
  - 003 Joh 9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age;, ask him: he shall speak for himself.

    - He that is ashamed of Me before men are not worthy of Me. Denying Me before men, I will deny before My Father and His angels.
      The parents disqualified themselves. He that hates not his own life is not worthy of Me. The parents chose the synagogue rather than being thankful and joyful that their son was healed. They cast their son amongst the wild dogs to save their own skin.
      This account is one of those that goes deep into the recesses of one's being, and asks pertinent and uncomfortable questions.
      Where did we cast our children in front of the bus? Instead of us pushing them away to take the hit?
      Note: Not referring to co-dependency, the other extreme. But accusing our children of defects when we had all the chances and responsibilities and authorities to adress?
      Parents fail in a myriad of ways - and are unwilling to confess and adress...
- V085 - Being excommunicated in that close community was effectively a severe sentence, and the parents were more concerned about their community than their son
  - 001 Joh 9:22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
  - 002 Joh 9:23 Therefore, said his parents, He is of age;, ask him.
- V090 - The Pharisees already having judged YESHUA, calling Him a sinner
  - 001 Joh 9:24 Then again, called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

    - Noteworthy of people off-track, worshipping a god of their own making.
      Gen 3 is like a gaint, an incidious snake that poisons men's minds, followed by Gen 6 and 9, polluting it, giving man an aversion against the worship of the true YHWH Elohim.
      Man worships himself, the little god, through framing a god, supposed to be YHWH, through the twistedness of their minds, and establishes a collection of twisted commands, which they religiously follows and enforces. This heartbreaking fact is no better evidenced by studying the conflict between the Pharisees and YESHUA, who mercilessly, and continuously, exposed their hypocricy and lies.
      Two gods in mortal combat in the minds of people. Only one god will survive. The Pharisees killed the true Elohim. In their minds here. Physically later.
      Which god is living, i.e. had the victory in my heart? Yours?
      Be honest. Our eternity depends on this,,,
- V095 - One witness. What a man, a true man standing fast in opposition to an antagonistic, to be judged and destroyed city
  - 001 Joh 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
  - 002 Comment
    - Thrown off track for a moment by their vicious judgment of Him, the man yet stood by his witness. He was blind and see now. He will live or die by it. A miracle happened, and no-one is going to force him to say otherwise.
      Note that this forms the basis of his later arguments.
      Truth, as YESHUA has said, set men free.
- V100 - The cognitive dissonance drove these obsessed men to irrational behaviour
  - 001 Joh 9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
  - 002 Comment
    - Again they asked - hoping that they could find a way of cancelling this extraordinary event - and the challenge that they face. YESHUA said the man was born blind for this reason, the YHWH's works be shown through Him.
      YHWH planned this event, the confrontation with the religious elete. They had the undeniable living and talking evidence, and others as well, that something out of this world has happened.
      Their childlike repeat question shows that they were thrown into a sudden mental mayhem. "Their" YHWH. that would have commended them, condoning their most cherished law, and ratified it, has clearly sided with this Irritation and Dispicable. And if their most cherrished law had been overturned, everything they worked for so hard for so long, every word in their oral tradition library was rejected and negated...
      They were forced to make a radical departure from the way they were going, separating from everything that was so dear to them, and worship He whom they dispised - or remain the same and reject the clear evidence.
      Whichever, it fixed the eternity they would spend. And it influenced every one in the world since then - they forced YESHUA's crucifixion, allowing us gentiles entry into the kingdom of YHWH. Their decision will determine the future, their's and millions and millions of people.
      This is a deep and dramatic lesson for everyone. At these junctions in life, which one do you take? The option they had to choose either set the Pharisees on a path to a final confrontation with YHWH's representative, or acceptance and submission.
- V105 - Getting a backhand retort - mature people asking stupid questions - fools answered according their folly
  - 001 Joh 9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
  - 002 Comment
    - The healed man was rasor sharp. He saw through their hyocracy. And challenged them.
- V110 - The Pharisees mocked the eartwhile blind man - saying they are Moses' disciples
  - 001 Joh 9:28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
  - 002 V05 - Comment
    - This sudden truth lighting their dark hearts - they retorted, and lied through their teeth. Elsewhere YESHUA said that Moses spoke about Him... And He accused them of nullifying Moses' commands by their man-made laws.
      Interesting scene on the final day of judgment when Moses is called in a witness to the Prophet that would come. To Him the people had to listen - disobedience would be severely treated.
      Now they had the chance to accept that Prophet, and bow before Him, but they rejected Moses and followed demon infested rabbis' teachings instead.
      Their myth was that the seventy elders that were chosen by Moses received additional and overriding instructions from YHWH - allowing demons to freely adapt these until they, and recently openly acknowledged, followed Lucifer.
      In final analysis, man ultimately is obedient and subservient to either YHWH, or Satan, as the representative of darkness.
- V115 - When a man's mind is twisted, his words makes no sense.
  - 001 Joh 9:29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
  - 002 Comment
    - The sudden pressure from an earstwhile blind man forced them to make a decision. And more lies. They followed deviant and perverse rabbis, not Moses.
      They had Moses and the prophets. There were numerous (some say hundreds) of prophesies of YESHUA in the Old Covenant - and He fulfilled many of them. Some to the day over hundreds of years.
      They had all the evidence of His extraordinary miracles, and His teachings. They had John the Baptist. Even men amongst themselves. In front of them, an impossibility.
      Yet they denied Him.
- V120 - Relentlessly the eartwhile blind man gives them a hiding - a lesson in reasoning and logic
  - 001 Joh 9:30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein, is a marvelous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
  - 002 Comment
    - Brave, brave man. Challenging the religious elete. Ripping off their makeup, Exposing their warts and boils.
      They were to know, they the teachers, had to know how this was possible - and he challenged their lame excuse.
- V125 - A Fatal thrust right into the heart of the Pharisees illogical and bound minds
  - 001 Joh 9:31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshiper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
  - 002 Joh 9:32 Since the world began, was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
  - 003 Joh 9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
  - 004 V05 - Comment
    - Amazing the forcefulness of this man's reasoning. His eyes have been opened, most importantly the eyes of his mind.
      And he fearlessly and mercilessly strike at the hypocrisy and blindness of these wicked men.
      The gauntlet had been thrown, they either accept that YESHUA was from YHWH and confess and bow, or reject and kill Him.
      The last option is what they have chosen, A disastrous move, for them. Today they still do the same, and only when almost all of them are exterminated, will they turn to the One that healed that man.
      Let us be wide awake to detect these junctions in the road of life - and be ready to take the right path.
- V130 - A Typical response of a proud religious leaders - violent action against a true and valid rebuke.
  - 001 Joh 9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
  - 002 Comment
    - Having taken the wrong turn, the only option left is to load one condemnation after another.
      Scary, frightening this truth, that is not broadcasted anymore... YHWH gives man a choice, or more, and when man rejects Him, He gives man over to his rebellion - to continue on a path to where sufficient evidence for eternal condemnation is obtained.
      Adam had a free will choice. It never changed. Either we bow or we rebel. And act accordingly.
- V135 - The man found the Saviour
  - 001 Joh 9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
  - 002 Joh 9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
  - 003 Joh 9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
  - 004 Joh 9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshiped him.
  - 005 Comment
    - Even though the man had to suffer blindness all his life up to now, YHWH fully rewarded him - extraodinarily.
      The man found, and spoke, and was healed by the most extraordinary man that ever lived.
- V140 - There are only two options when confronted with YESHUA - either one sees or are blinded
  - 001 Joh 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
  - 002 Joh 9:40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words and said unto him, Are we blind also?
  - 003 Comment
    - When a man has been given over to blindness after rejecting undeniable proof given by YHWH, he is so blind in mind that he cannot perceive his own fallenness.
- V145 - Our "insights" needs to be submitted to the scrutiny of YHWH - and we need to accept His adjustments and modifications
  - 001 Joh 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have, no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
  - 002 Comment
    - Scary, scary saying. It is so easy to become comfortable, complacent, having learnt much, experienced much, that we reject information that contradicts our perceptions of self and the groups that we associate with.
      Let us ask YHWH to relentlessly investigate our deepest being, bring all hidden perversion to the fore, with the commitment to acknowledge, confess, reject, replaced with the new man led by the Holy Spirit.

  - A mystery question repeats itself over and over in my mind... Why the people that were called by YHWH were so antagonistic, hostile against YESHUA, they were the very people called and elected through Abraham, brought out of Egypt, through the sea, the laws, the wilderness, aceess to the land...
    Should have been the most dedicated and loving people (towards YHWH) on earth. Yet they hated His Son, and persecuted Him and eventually killed Him, murdered Him in the most dispicable way (coersing the hated gentiles to do their dirty work).
    Here was clearly a supernatural work - with their knowledge and technology it was impossible for man. Yet they declared YESHUA a sinner, for doing good on a "their" Sabbath.
    There were many factors at play, but an important aspect, dangerous, when a group form a "brotherhood" where members are "chosen" and outsiders are "lost" and distanced. Acceptance of the group becomes more important than even YHWH's commands and standards. A group like the Pharisees provides perfect breeding grounds for this kind of behaviour - and perfect for darkness to enter in and take this to very different levels.
    Leaders should know YHWH's standards of by heart, and ensure that their lives, and the lives of those they oversee are in line with these standards - walking the fine line between over righteous, harsh, judmental and over merciful, soft and excusing sin, even deviant behaviour.
    I would estimate that darkness will focus on spiritual leaders sidetracking them, one man (or a few) requires less effort and time than a dedicated and wide awake aware group. Therefor, leaders should be close to YHWH, and be filled and led by the Spirit.
    This record of the blind man healed has a significant lesson for every Christian... When clear evidence emerges that show contrary believes and practices in worshipping YHWH, we need to halt and do a thorough investigation. Was the evidence of YHWH, and undeniable fact? Does it it question our believes and frameworks? So we need to adapt? What and how?
