ROAD TO EMMAUS – By Lakshman Navaratne
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Matthew 28; 18-20

A re-constructed bridge to eternity, by the Hebrew Rabbi Yesua. Today we know that this high-way is called by a name, “the way of Christ”.
2000 years have passed since the day of Pentecost, the “Helper” sent by the Father of humanity, to re-open the bridge, securely guarded by the cherubim’s, the only gateway, to our eternal father.
The price paid and how to receive this free entry-visa to the eternal kingdom was the secret hidden in the Hebrew scripture for the last 6000 years.
“Grace-Train” [B]
This is the Vehicle, re-built organism on earth today by the “Helper” sent upon the Apostles of Christ, on the day of Pentecost. We, the born-again in Christ call it the “Living Body of our resurrected Savior”. [A]
If you have read scripture; our human beginning is not Adam, it is from the Tree of Life (Jesus) who was made on the Third day of Creation (Moses called it organic life, Vegetation)
Revelation 1:8, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty”
700 years before Christ, Prophet wrote, Isaiah 11:1, “There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.”
As per New Testament scripture; the lineage of Jesus connects to the son of Jesse. David, the shepherd boy from Bethlehem, the king of the Jews who the Creator God used to bring forth his Kingdom to earth through the nation of Hebrews. Exodus 19:6,” And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Just 500 years ago, on October Thirty-One 1517, Martin Luther, rephrased this Scriptural Prophesy on the Doors of the chapel in Wittenberg, Germany to begin the reformation of Christianity back to the first century Apostolic Doctrine. [B]
2000 years ago, “The Grace Train” was launched in Jerusalem in the year 33 AD on the day of Pentecost with 3000 human souls packed into seven carriages.
450 years before, this day was prophesized by Prophet Joel;
Joel 2:28, “And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”
so, it was no surprise to the Apostles of Christ who spent 3 solid years with the Groom of the Bride, who was just a Hebrew teacher showing them a “New way of Life” that shall never end.
Our Redeeming God used Apostle Paul who was another Jew, following real Judaism with full understanding of the Old Testament who had no clue to this “New way”.
The risen Christ equipped Apostle Paul with a New Heart filled with the redeemed blood to write Epistles to the newly established churches in minor Asia, including the church at Rome.
The New Way was the way of the Apostles, the only way revealed to Abel at the beginning of humanity. [B]
Three (3) days of Grace for the Gentile nations began on the day Pentecost and today is the third day of the Prophetic fulfilment of the eternal time. The Groom shall return for the bride.
The seven compartments were constructed at actual work-sites in Minor Asia (present day Turkey): Ephesus, Smyrna, Thyatira, Pergamos, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. [A]
The spirit of the Lord: Compartment #1 – Church at Ephesus, parable of the Sower (Seed) Matthew 13:1-9, Spirit of Faith; Primary Spirit of the Lord. [A] “But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
The real Seed of Faith, planted on the day of Pentecost in 33AD.
The Spirit of Wisdom Compartment #2 – Church at Smyrna, parable of the Wheat and the Tears,
Matthew 13: 24-29,” but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.”
The discerning Church, infiltration of false doctrines. 70 AD. to 199 AD. Heavy persecutions of Christians, in the hands of both Romans and the Jews. All the Apostles were Martyred.
The Spirit of understanding Compartment #3 – Church at Thyatira, parable of the mustard seed, Matthew 13, 31-32 “which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
Seed taken from the Apostolic doctrines planted in their own fields.
– major Apostacy with false doctrines.200 AD. To 300 AD.
The Spirit of counsel Compartment #4 – church at Pergamos, parable of the
Leaven, Matthew 13:33, marriage with the state, hiding the scripture, inaccessible to layman. “Another parable He spoke to them: “The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”
Apostolic Christianity was hidden from the world- Theological Colonial Christianity was preached to the Gentile nations. [B] 312 AD. to 1517 AD.
The Spirit of Might compartment #5 – Church at Sardis, man discovering the hidden treasure in the scripture, parable of Matthew 13:44, Martin Luther translating the Bible to German. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
The Spirit of Knowledge compartment #6 – church at Philadelphia, parable of the “pearl” of great price, Matthew 13:45, Apostolic doctrine, the Bride of Christ revealed in the hearts of humans. Brotherly Love preached openly and freely received. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
The Spirit of Fear compartment #7 – Church at Laodicea, parable of the Drag-net, Matthew 47-50, “which, when it was full, they drew to shore; and they sat down and gathered the good into vessels, but threw the bad away.”
Today is the last hour of the 3rd day for the Gentile nations, Humanity in darkness with no-faith in the Maker of Life. Clamoring for their own Rights, yet the Bride of Christ is secure in the Grace Train.
{the whole world is governed by Science and Theology of Men}
The Engineer of the Train that began in Jerusalem is the “Helper that arrived on earth on the day of Pentecost, shall run the full course around the Globe at the speed of Revelation, back to the Heavenly Jerusalem. [A]
The last book of scripture, “Revelation of Jesus Christ, by the last Apostle John, at his last stages in exile, document the final end to humanity on earth.
Jesus! the Hebrew Rabbi, his appearance on earth was promised to our first parents, when humanity decided to walk in Darkness, that was separated by the creator of the universe on his first day. Our separation happened on the seventh day creation. Losing the “Spirit of the Lord” (FAITH)
The first prophesy about JESUS in scripture!
Genesis 3:15, “And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
Peter, the first human Apostle of Jesus Christ, to walk the Seven-Mile journey to EMMAUS, from Jerusalem with the resurrected Lord. Apostle John, who wrote the Revelation of Jesus Christ, document this first walk as the revelation of the recognition of the true identity of the partaker, “Breaking of Bread”.
John 6:35, Jesus confirms himself, the written word is the Living Bread. “I am the Bread of Life”.
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
So, our first experience with the voice of scripture in our heart becomes our original-Baptism of the Spirit! [A]
This shall also be the first true-experience for anyone with the written word.
Apostle John saw this process as seven churches occurring at the prophesized moments in the history of mankind.
The servant Isaiah saw this as the seven Spirits, 700 years before Christ. [B]
In Matthew 13, while on earth, Jesus gave his Apostles, seven consecutive parables, the exact time line for the Faithful to see the fulfilment of his Father’s Will for all Mankind.
This is the Time-line for humanity to experience the Grace poured upon humanity on the day of Pentecost.
Apostolic Christianity was born on the day of Pentecost and shall vanish from this earth on day of Rapture of the Faithful to Christ.
The 39 books of the Hebrew text, take you to the beginning of Mankind and the 27 books of the Apostles of Christ, completes the final return journey of the faithful to the author of Life. [Grace Train] [A]
The Bible hub at the time of the Apostles is the land-area of the world, marked as Anatolia and the Caucasus, where all the seven churches were birthed.
The beginning of Mankind, at the Garden of Eden and the Out-pouring of the eternal power of Redemption for Mankind on the day of Pentecost. [B]
2000 years of humanity has passed by since the day of Pentecost. Today the internet reports thousands of denominations of Christianity. How is this possible? if the scripture was sealed by the last Apostle who wrote the “Revelation”? [A]
The four Gospels records the life of Jesus on earth from the day he was Baptized at the age of 30. From then onwards till he went to the cross, we Christians know without a shadow of doubt, that Jesus was operating as the “Son of God”.
The history of Christianity from humble beginnings of the 12 Apostles, cannot be comprehended by the average human believer of Christ. The Truth of our Redemption is Only revealed to those who have diligently seek and received the same baptism, Christ received at the age of 30.
From the year 300 AD, Apostolic Christianity was hijacked by the Romans. All the writings of the Apostles were hidden in their monasteries for the next thousand-five-hundred years.
Missionaries belonging to the Holy Sea of the Roman Empire, traveled the globe armed with the Bibles, teaching their own theology to unsuspecting innocent humans.
This is how my ancestors became Christians, none of them received the True baptism Jesus received from His Father in eternity, the Bible was not their daily Bread, as the Gospel prayer taught by Jesus to his Apostles. They invented their own rituals to distribute “Grace”?
They even invented Half-way houses for the dead souls to have a second chance to reach the kingdom prepared for them.
I can only speak about my 8 siblings, growing up in Christianity without a Bible (without-Bread) in the house. I was 45 years old, when I received my Baptism of Pentecost. [A]
So, for those who are still breathing oxygen, if you are sincere and want to be a part of his kingdom; all you need is the Bible and a sincere desire to hear his voice!
This calls for a contrite Spirit, a penitent heart to serve our Maker. [A]
According to the Bible, the absolute truth of our redemption is a free gift, for anyone who shall stumble on this treasure hidden in the Bible.
