John 1:1
#6
gregglaser Wrote:... light is the electromagnetic radiation of ANY wavelength, even though we laymen tend to define the word in terms of the light we see with our eyes (the visible spectrum). But in the gospel Yahshua is the physicist, constantly emphasizing the importance of the powers that man can not see. See e.g., John 1:18, John 3:8, John 18:36, and especially John 16:12, ?Again, I have much to say to you, but you are not able to hold now.? In that last verse the world is aKhd, meaning ?hold? or ?seize?, which I think suggests that in these human vessels we cannot contain or control other waves, to be revealed later.

See also the interesting reference in John 16:25 to Eayn bgla ("eyes in waves"), as Yahshua describes how he will speak of the Father in the future, rather than in comparisons/parables (plata). Here is the standard translation though of John 16:25, "These I have spoken with you with comparisons. But the hour comes when I will not speak to you with comparisons, but I will openly (Eayn bgla) make known to you about the Father."

To the extent the Father and Yahshua can be understood in some way by studying the physics of light, examples are fun to ponder! Consider how white light stimulates all three cone cell types in the human eye, which is why our eyes see the color white as all the wavelengths of the visible spectrum.

In the bible, it appears that one of the primary meanings of wearing white clothes is acceptance into the kingdom of heaven. See e.g., Revelation 7:14, Matthew 17:2.

With that in mind, remember Matthew 19:12 -- after children come to Yahshua and he approves in reference to the kingdom of heaven, in the next passage (at Matthew 19:16) a man comes to Yahshua and asks what he must do to enter the kingdom of heaven, and Yahshua advises him to keep the commandments, and further that if he wants to be mature and to follow Yahshua and to have treasure in heaven then he should sell all his possessions and give them to the poor. While the disciples are worrying about these words, Yahshua adds to them in Matthew 19:24, ?And again I say to you, it is easier for a rope to enter the eye (Khrura) of a needle than a rich man to enter into the kingdom of Alha.?

Regarding white (Khur) light, note the wordplay here in Matthew 19:24 ?the eye? (Khrura) followed by Matthew 19:26 ?looked? (Khr). I think the meaning here is that if disciples seek freedom, they?re going to need some white clothes. They must whiten themselves to enter the kingdom of heaven. Scientifically ?white? is a light wave perceived by optical nerves (or measurable in a laboratory as the full visible spectrum within the electromagnetic spectrum), but just imagine how rich Khur would be if it wasn?t bound by human optical nerves? Perhaps that is part of the larger lesson here ? there is more to life than the visible spectrum. There is more to being born from the beginning than just another earthly experience; more to spirit than just the feeling of wind on our faces.

In John 8:31-32 (truth will set you free), the phrase ?set you free? (nKhrrkun) comes from this root word meaning ?freedom? or ?the eye? (Khrura). And the rope (gmla) from Matthew 19 above is a collection of twisted fibers (gla), an aramaic word that is also translated as ?wave?, ?straw?, or ?revelation? (see e.g., Matthew 7:4). It's also the beginning of my last name (so I like to research it). <!-- sConfusedigh: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sigh.gif" alt="Confusedigh:" title="Sigh" /><!-- sConfusedigh: -->
