Sermon #029 - Mark 6 How to access God's MIRACLE...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams, and we are continuing with the Gospel According to Mark, picking up in Chapter 6.
We just covered in the last sermon the parable of the mustard seeds and a little bit about how Jesus was actually teaching the terrain theory of health, maybe inadvertently, but it definitely fits.
One correction I do want to say in a previous sermon, I think I misspoke and I said that Mark came out of the wilderness wearing camel's hair and eating locusts and honey.
And of course, that should have been John the Baptist.
I did get it right in a recent sermon, but I think I mixed up their names a couple of sermons ago.
So I apologize for that.
I apologize to Mark in particular, or whoever is the author of the Gospel According to Mark.
Because, you know, to say that, hey, someone wears camel hair, that could be considered insulting, right?
Hey, what are you wearing camel hair for there?
And eating locusts and wild honey, right?
Although I admire that.
I think that that man is a survivor.
John the Baptist, that is.
But it's amazing to me, reading Scripture, how many times foods, wild foods in particular, and different kinds of healing substances, nutrients, And healing oils are mentioned.
And actually we have a mention of healing oils for healing the sick right here in chapter 6.
So this is Mark chapter 6 verse 7.
And he called the twelve to himself.
This is Jesus. And he began to send them out two by two.
And he gave them power over unclean spirits.
So this is really interesting because he gave his followers, you know, his followers, Apostles, the power to get the demons out of people.
In verse 8, he commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff, no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts, but to wear sandals and not to put on two tunics.
In other words, you're going to go out into the world pretty much with no material items, and you're just going to depend on the generosity of the people that you meet and the people that you help.
And some of that help is going to be in healing.
And in verse 12, skipping ahead, So they went out and preached that people should repent, and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick and healed them.
So what kind of oils are we talking about here?
Anointed with oil.
Well, there are many healing oils in the Bible.
Now this word anoint, this appears in many different places throughout the Bible, but where do we have a strict definition?
What is anoint?
Well, my understanding was that it was simply to put the oil on the skin or to Maybe to rub it in the skin, to touch someone with the oil.
But as part of my research into foods, superfoods, healing oils, and so on, of course, I have many great books.
I have entire encyclopedias on all of this, but one of the books I have is called Healing Oils of the Bible, and it's a book by David Stewart.
And in this book on page 61, it talks about the biblical meaning of anointment.
So let's cover that here. Analytic concordance.
The words translated from the Hebrew and Greek as anoint meant to cover, rub, or smear the head or body or the object with oil.
And in some cases, the word meant to pour oil over the head or body.
A commonly used Hebrew word for anoint was masach or mishkach or mashkach.
It is interesting that these Hebrew variations of the word for anoint are similar to the English word masaj, both in meaning and in pronunciation.
Isn't that interesting? So if you're talking about therapeutic massage or massage therapy with healing oils, This is essentially equivalent to being anointed with the oils, and again, one of the Hebrew words is mashchach, or mishach, or masach, similar to masach, right?
Very interesting. But we're talking about, with these healing oils, we're talking about much larger doses than just a little drop.
Because, well, you know, how much can a little drop do?
For a lot of these oils, you need more.
So from the book here, it says, It is clear that a true biblical anointing was not a small dot of vegetable oil applied with a light touch of a finger or with the simple laying on hands.
A true anointing was usually much more than that.
It often involved a considerable amount of oil.
Usually consisting of a carrier, such as olive oil, containing aromatic oils or consisting of essential oils by themselves.
Sometimes there was a rubbing and smearing of the oils to various parts of the body.
Now here's something else interesting from this book.
The Hebrew term masach is also the root of the term masaya.
Since the New Testament was not in Hebrew, rather the New Testament was in Greek, We're good to go.
So, by the way, we're going to be covering a lot of the essential oils in the Bible.
I mean, eventually, we'll cover them all.
Eventually, we're going to cover every food, every nutrient, every oil mentioned in the Bible.
But from this book, Healing Oils of the Bible, the word oil appears 191 times in the King James Version of the Bible.
And some of the oils that are mentioned, this is not in any particular order, of course, frankincense and myrrh.
You know about those, I would imagine.
Hyssop, spikenard, wormwood, balm, cedarwood, myrtle, aloe, mustard oil, cypress, cinnamon, cumin.
We've already covered black cumin seed and juniper, calamus, cassia and dill, coriander, henna, mint and pine.
Now, pine oil, this is something very medicinal, really amazing.
Many of these oils, well, let me continue this.
Roses, anise, bay leaf, adellium, rue, saffron, onica, let's see, terebinth, shittah, and fir, cedar, and so on.
Now, if you go into modern-day chemistry and you look at these oils, and you look them up on, let's say, PubMed for studies on these oils, you're going to find that these oils have very well-known and well-documented effects that are often antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic.
Anti-inflammatory.
Sometimes they're anti-flu or anti-influenza, many of them.
Like, there's a combination known as thieves' oil that's also a special selection of oils that are very, very potent at halting the growth of bacteria and pathogens.
And thieves oil was used throughout the Middle Ages, I believe, as a protection against all kinds of infectious diseases and even during the Black Plague.
Now, here's what else is really interesting about essential oils.
Demons hate essential oils.
Now, I'm not the only one who believes this.
Of course, Jesus believed this, and Jesus taught that.
And the author of this book, Healing Oils of the Bible, refers to this as well.
And by the way, since we're covering Mark chapter 6, this is, as he writes, it has to do with demons and unclean spirits.
Jesus and his disciples believed in the phenomenon of demonic possession.
And a large percent of Jesus' healings involve the casting out of devils.
And he even quotes Ephesians chapter 6, which we've covered.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians chapter 6, verse 12, which is right after the put on the whole armor of God quote there.
Now, from the author of this book, check this out.
He writes, demonic spirits don't like essential oils.
They are repelled by them.
Their high vibration, that is, of the oils, high vibration of the oils put there by God are too much and make the spirits want to leave.
Those experienced in the administration of therapeutic oils, especially when used to help resolve and release buried emotions, can find themselves encountering demons repulsed by the high energies of the aromatic molecules.
Wow.
See, this author gets it.
This author understands what we're teaching here.
Just like I said, God's molecules, right?
Well, these high vibration aromatic molecules, which are found in essential oils, it's about more than nutrition.
It's about more than purifying your blood.
It's also about purifying your spirit.
It says, consider this passage from Matthew.
And this is Matthew chapter 12 verses 43 to 45.
Check this out. When an unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but it finds none.
Then it says, I will return to my house from which I came.
When it comes... It finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits, more evil than itself, and they enter and live there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first.
In other words, he's saying that if you get the demons out, sometimes they'll gather up more demons and try to come back in, and that's when you need to be really clean, really pure.
You need to be ready for...
An enhanced onslaught of demonic spirits.
And as the author of this book writes...
Very powerful.
Now, when you begin to study essential oils out of the Bible...
It's bewildering how many different forms of natural medicine God has created.
I mean, just in the oils mentioned in the Bible, if you break them down in terms of chemistry, and I'm reading this from Appendix F in the book, There are dominant classes of compounds from these oils.
They are sesquiterpenes, monoterpenes, and phenols, along with ketones, aldehydes, and esters.
So you may have never heard the term sesquiterpenes.
There are 10,000 types of sesquiterpenes in oil.
There are more than 2,000 varieties of monoterpenes.
There are hundreds of different phenols along with thousands of kinds of ketones and aldehydes and esters.
Phenols, ketones, and aldehydes are antiseptic.
They cleanse receptor sites, and they detoxify your body.
Sesquiterpenes are oxygenating.
They're mood-elevating.
They can deprogram miswritten or garbled codes in the DNA.
Again, this is from Appendix F.
Monoterpenes are hostile to microbes, and they can reprogram cells with correct information.
Understand that these molecules from God, these contain information, not just chemistry, and it's never just one molecule by itself.
It's always a full assortment of molecules.
But sesquiterpenes are found in cedarwood, sandalwood, myrrh, and so on.
And if you understand the chemistry of all this, you can begin to really fathom the correct usage of all of this.
And cedarwood oil, it's one of the most powerful oils out there in terms of anti-pesticide and antibacterial and cleaning the air, cleaning areas in a safe way.
Amazing combinations that you can put together once you understand what these oils are and how they work.
The bottom line is that healing oils are absolutely the most potent natural medicines that God has placed on this earth.
They need to be used with knowledge, with a lot of wisdom and care.
You don't want to be just chugging essential oils in the way that you would eat foods.
So on the spectrum of molecular potency, foods are easily the least potent typically.
And then you get into more what we would call herbs, which sometimes can be garnishes on foods, but you're not chowing down on massive amounts of the herbs themselves.
And then you get into essential oils or various oils, healing oils that can be very potent.
And some of them can be, you know, quite even irritating, like cinnamon.
You don't want to rub cinnamon on your eyeballs, you know, or your nostrils or your lips, right?
So think about the spectrum of God's molecules, what has been made available to us and how Jesus himself sent his followers out to heal people with essential oils.
Now moving forward, let's talk about the miracle of the loaves and fishes, which is in chapter 6 of the Gospel according to Mark.
And of course, this is where Jesus has gathered thousands of his followers.
About 5,000 men were there with him.
And verse 31, he said to them, Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.
There were many coming and going.
They did not even have time to eat.
Verse 33, But the multitude saw them departing, and many knew him and ran there on foot from all the cities.
They arrived before them and came together to him, Jesus.
And Jesus, when he came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd.
You know, they wanted, they were looking for spiritual leadership.
They were looking to him. So he began to teach them many things.
And then verse 35, But he answered and said to them, You give them something to eat.
And they said to him, Shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?
But he said to them, How many loaves do you have?
Go and see. And when they found out, they said, Five and two fish.
All right, so they're trying to feed 5,000 men.
They've got five loaves of bread and two fish.
So how's this going to go, right?
Verse 39. Here's where the miracle of God's nutrition really kicks in.
Verse 39. Then he commanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
So they sat down in ranks in hundreds and in fifties.
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven.
He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples to set before them.
And the two fish he divided among them all.
So what it sounds like it's describing here is that he broke the bread into essentially little tiny crumbs, right?
And he broke the fish into little tiny pieces of fish, correct?
Verse 42, so they all ate and were filled.
Verse 43, and they took up 12 baskets full of fragments, like the crumbs of the bread and of the fish.
Now those who had eaten the loaves were about 5,000 men.
So what is it saying here?
It's one of two things.
I've heard this interpreted both ways.
One way is that Jesus asked God to multiply the loaves and the fish to have enough food for everyone.
But I don't think that's what is meant here, because in verse 43 it says, they took up 12 baskets full of fragments.
That's crumbs, little crumbs of bread.
I think that what Jesus did was he had God bless the crumbs with intense nutrition.
In other words, he turned the normal food of bread and fish into super, like, God-level super foods.
You know, we use the term super food to mean high-density, high-nutrition foods.
Well, Think about God-level superfoods.
God blessed these foods, in essence, imbuing them with extra molecules of nutrition, all kinds of nourishment, all kinds of calories because they needed calories.
They were hungry.
We're not talking about a society of obese people back then, no.
So they ate and they were filled, which meant they received sufficient nutrition from eating the crumbs.
That is a miracle of the multiplication of the nutrients.
Now, how do we know that God can perform that miracle?
Because this miracle happens in food crops every single day.
When you plant a seed, what does the seed do?
It grows an infrastructure of a plant.
It grows roots and stems and leaves and perhaps flowers or fruits or seeds or whatever it's doing.
And it collects energy from the sun.
It collects carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
It pulls in water through its roots.
It rearranges through the miracles of God and Mother Nature, the carbon, the hydrogen, the oxygen, in order to synthesize new healing molecules, some of which can be later harnessed as essential oils, for example, like the oil in black cumin seed that we've already talked about, or the oil in cinnamon, like the oil in black cumin seed that we've already talked about, or the oil in cinnamon, which is So it's growing a tree, but it's building the oil in the bark, you see.
So this is the miracle of the loaves and fishes that's happening every day at your farm or in your garden.
It's happening every day across the field.
What Jesus did, at least this is my interpretation, it says he looked up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves.
Jesus asked God to speed up the normal process of creating God's healing molecules in the food.
Why do I believe that?
Because we've already covered all the times when Jesus healed people or so-called healed people by speeding up the healing that already exists inside their own bodies, the healing potential that exists because it's a gift from God.
In fact, I was thinking about this after my last sermon.
You know, If you were to, let's say, let's say you had a cut on your forearm or something and it was a cut that it was bleeding and you could see the skin was broken.
I mean, not a crazy deep cut or anything, but like a...
Like a serious scratch from a thorn or something, okay?
Now, suppose you were able to put a camera on that cut and do time-lapse photography.
And let's say that it took, I don't know, five days to heal that cut completely.
And you were able to just keep your arm still for five days or film it for five days.
And then you were able to speed up that film by a factor of, you know, a thousand times.
Then watching the thousand times faster version of the healing of your arm, you would say, that's a miracle.
The miracle is not in the perception of the healing.
The miracle is in the speed of the healing.
You see? So when Jesus lays hands on people, when Jesus heals the hand of the cripple, when Jesus brings people back to life, resurrecting dead cells and so on, What he is doing, actually, at least, again, this is my interpretation, is he is using the power of God through him to accelerate the natural healing potential that exists in all the children of God.
He's making it happen a thousand times faster, let's say.
And then, all of a sudden, it looks like a miracle, even though that process of healing is In many cases, not all cases in the Bible, not every example, but in many examples, that kind of healing, if it were to take place over a long period of time, it would not have been considered a miracle from God.
It would have been considered just normal human healing.
But I'm saying that, quote, normal human healing is a miracle from God, and that Jesus can make it happen faster.
And in this miracle of the loaves and fishes, I think the same thing is at work.
Jesus knows that food crops synthesize nutrients, that the miracle of Mother Nature, which is an expression of the mind of God, already blesses us with this natural manifestation, or from chemistry, the synthesis of nutrients.
That this is something that's already present in the miracle of the seed, of the food, of the wisdom of the living plant.
And what Jesus did when he looked to the heavens and he blessed and broke the loaves, I think that what he did was the same thing he does with healing, is he asked God to accelerate the process of generating food nutrients in very high concentrations very rapidly, almost instantly. Boom.
Suddenly, you can feed 5,000 men.
See, one way to think about many of these miracles of Jesus Christ is that because God is a multidimensional being who exists in all times, God already exists in the future, He exists in the past, and from God's perspective, outside this third dimension that we know, where the flow of time is linear and fixed for the most part, You know, except in black holes and whatever high-gravity environments, but we're not going to get into physics here.
But God can move around time.
You know, He can coexist in the future and the past and the present all at the same time.
So God is, of course, the master of time as he created time.
He created the universe and the flow of time that defines the way our universe works.
So if Jesus asks God to manipulate the flow of time...
and God has blessed Jesus with this capability, and Jesus is really a personification, an expression of the power of God in human form, then, of course, Jesus can perform, quote, miracles by altering the flow of time.
He can bend the rules of the simulation, or the matrix, you could call it, the simulation being all of reality that God created.
It has rules.
One of those rules is the flow of time.
If you can alter the flow of time and speed it up, then you can perform miracles.
You don't even have to be a healer.
You see what I mean? If you can just accelerate the flow of time, you can activate the healing that already exists in other people.
If you can accelerate the flow of time in the synthesis of nutrition, you can turn a little bit of food into enough food to feed 5,000 people.
So this is another way to look at these miracles from the point of view that God is the architect of the laws of physics.
God is the architect of cause and effect.
And God's miracles aren't, let's say, they're not magic.
We're not going to use the word magic because it's not just wish it and it appears.
Rather, there's a mechanism for every miracle that occurs in the Bible.
And these healing miracles and the multiplication of the nutritional value of the loaves and the fishes, there's a mechanism for this.
And it's about speeding up time and accelerating the natural capabilities of plants and foods to generate nutrition, which is what they're programmed to do anyway.
That's what their DNA tells them to do.
So I understand that probably no one else has interpreted this passage in this way, but that's one reason why I think many people find value in the interpretations I'm offering here.
I'm not attacking other interpretations.
I'm attempting to add another layer of understanding to it.
In accordance with the existence of God as the creator of all that is and the eternal blessings of God.
Because God did give us all these plants, all these seeds, all these molecules, and all this amazing healing ability in our own bodies.
It's up to us to tap into that.
And the way we tap into that, as we've been teaching here, is to purify the blood, purify the spirit.
Have clean blood, clean spirit, that is, act in accordance with the teachings of God and what Christ taught, and then you too shall be closer to the miracles of God, the miracles of healing, miracles of regeneration of your tissues, and you will find yourself actually more capable of healing.
And then, just to reiterate the fact that he is reworking the laws of the universe, he With the power and the authority of God, Jesus walks on the water.
He walks on the sea out to the men in the boats.
He just walks on the sea and says, hey, what's up?
And, you know, they're freaking out.
But this helps them understand the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
See, so this is not Jesus bragging like, oh, I have all this power, I can do all these things.
No. This is Jesus just living with God's authority and saying that, you know, we can alter these rules of the cosmos.
We can bend them.
We can accelerate them sometimes.
We can change the rules of time as it applies to us, or perhaps the rules of gravity or electromagnetism or whatever the case may be.
Maybe he made his feet be repelled by the water so that the water was hard under his feet.
Whatever the mechanism was, he's demonstrating that God is working through him.
And then that made the men, many of them, finally realize, wow, this is the Son of God.
And so, so many of them then wanted to touch him.
And when they touched him, then that high vibration of God through Jesus, that vibration was passed along to them.
And this gets into verses 53 through 56.
Then they themselves became healed because they shared in the high vibration of Jesus Christ's And the acceleration of healing effects just by touching him.
So, contact with God.
Now, in the case here, we're talking about physical contact with the Son of God.
But contact with God can take place spiritually.
It can take place when messengers of God, such as angels, visit you.
They may appear visually.
They may appear audibly.
That's another form of contact with God.
But also, what I really want to help you understand is that every time you touch a living plant, you're in contact with the will of God.
Think about it. When you go to the grocery store and you purchase dead food, dead, just heavily processed, everything's dead, or you go to the pharmacy, it's all dead, dead molecules.
This isn't living. This isn't natural.
This didn't come from the plant world.
It's just dead, synthetic, isolated chemical compounds that taste horrible.
If you live your world in contact with everything that's dead, Dead milk, even, instead of raw milk, it's pasteurized, it's homogenized, it's artificially manipulated, it's all been cooked to death, right? Which, by the way, also destroys enzymes in the milk, such as lactase, that helps people digest milk.
And then when you destroy the enzymes, then you have trouble digesting it, and that's why people have, or one of the reasons why people have dairy allergies, because they're just eating dead dairy all the time.
Well, if you go into living foods, which is, you know, raw foods, foods with enzymes intact, now you're in contact with God through living foods, raw foods.
This is one of the secrets of longevity.
This is one of the secrets of having pure blood.
And this is why it makes so much sense to eat fresh greens, raw salads and fresh fruits, raw nuts and nut milk made from raw nuts, such as raw almond milk, which is super delicious.
I love it. And there are many other foods that you can eat raw that literally increases your connection with God.
Because again, God's expression is found in the foods.
The foods are living.
And sprouts, this is why I'm such an advocate of sprouts.
You know, when you eat sprouts, you are ingesting the living energy of the sprouts.
This is why I love to grow figs, and I love to eat figs fresh off the tree.
They're not dried.
You know, they're not...
They're not processed. They're not pasteurized.
I eat them fresh off the tree.
I eat them so fresh. Sometimes when I'm eating them, I find some ants crawling in there.
I'm like, oh, you found this fig too.
And today I was about to pluck some figs off of one of my fig trees and realize, oh, there's a bunch of yellow hornets in there that are eating the fig juice.
So I said, okay, you can have that fig, yellow hornets, go for it.
I will wait.
I'll come pluck the fig late at night when you're not so busy.
Fresh figs.
There's nothing like it.
You know, fresh food.
Fresh from the garden.
Fresh sprouts. Think about adding living foods to your diet and it will change your life.
It will change the purity of your blood.
And I'm not saying that it'll make you walk on water.
But it will bring you closer to God and it will allow God's miracles to work through you in many unexpected ways.
Ways that you might call miraculous.
Some people would say that if they've been diagnosed with cancer and then they turn to amazing anti-cancer healing foods and then the cancer goes away, they would call that a miracle!
I call it cause and effect.
If you eat anti-cancer foods and anti-cancer nutrients, And things like the apricot pits that have cytotoxic compounds that selectively engage cancer cells and kill them within the body, then it's cause and effect.
It's like, well, of course the cancer's gone.
You've been eating anti-cancer foods.
What are anti-cancer foods?
Well, you know, lots of them.
Lots of the oils in the Bible, but also turmeric and sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts and black cumin seed oil, all kinds of amazing things.
Just raw living foods are anti-cancer in lots of ways.
I mean, radishes, think about that.
The entire family of cruciferous vegetables, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and so on, they're all anti-cancer.
Cabbage, raw cabbage juice is not only anti-ulcer, but it's also anti-cancer.
So any time that you take in natural healing, fresh foods, as fresh as you can get them, Even citrus fruits or celery or pomegranates that we've covered here, they're anti-cancer.
Anti-prostate cancer in the case of pomegranates.
So you're just tapping into this amazing wisdom that God engineered into the world around us and that Jesus and his disciples, they shared with people.
You notice when they went out to heal people, they anointed them with essential oils.
That wasn't just a token.
That was part of the healing.
That's God's molecules helping you heal.
And when Jesus fed these people, he fed them, you know, God-level superfoods for 5,000 men.
And that's something that we can tap into.
You can fit 5,000 seeds of the right kinds of plants.
You can fit 5,000 seeds in your pockets, you know?
And you could grow enough food to feed 5,000 men, depending on the seed or the plant that you're growing.
So, again, it just takes us longer because we're not Jesus.
We're not God. We're human.
Takes us longer. It takes a lot more, you know, physical 3D effort on our part, where Jesus was able to just sort of call down God, you know, blessings, and all of a sudden, here we go!
You know, God's wishes, and then we have all the nutrients.
But for you and I, time moves more slowly.
It's spread out.
We can't change the rules of time ourselves, so we have to work within time.
Our intention sets the waves of effects through time.
But our intention works much more slowly than does the intention of God, which is instant, or the intention of Christ, which is also instant, God working through him.
So just remember that.
Whatever you do in this world, You need to repeat your intention.
You need a discipline to be consistent with your intention.
Because the way cause and effect works in the world that we inhabit right now, which is a grand kind of simulation by God, or you could call it God's 3D world here, our intention is very slow.
It moves like molasses, so we have to stay on it and repeat it again and again and again until the things that we are intending Are manifested through our actions plus our intention.
I mean, yes, prayer encodes reality.
The power of intention encodes reality.
But the power of action combined with intention and prayer is the most powerful combination of all.
So, yeah, you could say, I want to be surrounded by healing foods.
And you could sit in a room and pray every day for 90 days and probably not have healing foods magically appear, right?
But if you said, I want to have healing foods and I'm going to get a bunch of seeds and I'm going to plant the healing foods and I'm going to nurture the garden, I'm going to water it.
And then in 90 days or 120 days, depending on the crops, whatever the case may be, a few months later, guess what?
You are surrounded by healing foods.
Why?
You created it with intention and tag teaming with the mind of God that put into those plants, the ability to synthesize those medicinal molecules.
You plus God, you grew medicine.
It just took a little bit of time.
And in our next sermon, we're going to cover chapter 7 of Mark, because this gets very interesting with Jesus explaining that things that are outside of you cannot defile you.
And he talks about food, unclean food versus clean food, and unclean spirit versus clean spirit.
So I understand that we're spending a lot of time on the gospel according to Mark, and there's a reason for that.
It is absolutely critical to cover these direct accounts of the actions of Jesus working through the mind of God, through foods, through oils, and also talking about purity of blood and so on.
This is a lot of the core of what I'm trying to share with you.
And it's so great to have these accounts of Jesus interacting with men and interacting with God.
And interacting with foods and nutrition and so on.
So yes, we may spend, I mean, I don't know, chapter 7 might be an entire sermon by itself.
I may have to do 200 sermons before we can cover all of what we want to cover.
So be it. Whatever it takes.
I'm not fixed on a number here.
I mean, I know we're going to do at least 100, but that's not where this ends.
There's always more to learn and to teach.
Something else I want to bring your attention to on this story of the loaves and fishes.
I fully realize that the more conventional interpretation is that Jesus multiplied the loaves, that he created maybe a thousand loaves of bread, like one loaf for every five men or something like that.
But I want to point out that It specifically mentions in verse 41, it says that the two fish he divided among them all.
Nowhere in this block of verse 39 through 44, nowhere does it say there were more than five loaves of bread, nor more than two fish.
Nowhere. You could assume, you could maybe infer that there was possibly more bread because verse 43 talks about, and they took up 12 baskets full of fragments and of the fish.
I would be really interested to find out what's the original Latin version of that because I really am suspicious of the word fragments.
You know, I'm interpreting that as crumbs.
I don't see any reference in any of this to a thousand loaves of bread or a thousand fishes or anything like that.
So, of course, we're all free to interpret it in whatever way makes the most sense to you.
And perhaps it doesn't matter because ultimately...
It's saying that through God, Jesus carried out a miracle that fed 5,000 men with a very tiny amount of food to start with.
I mean, and perhaps that's enough.
That's perhaps all we need to know.
I just want to point out that the interpretation I'm bringing you...
It's not outside the bounds of what we should consider.
Read the scripture yourself.
You know, too often we're given interpretations by others without reading it.
And I think if you read it, you might come to a different conclusion than what you have perhaps been taught.
So continue to listen to these sermons.
And thank you for listening today.
I'm Mike Adams. We've got many more sermons for you.
I believe this is number 29.
So we have 71 more sermons to go in this series.
And by the time we get through 100 sermons, we ought to have at least...
We should have covered the basics of the foods and nutrients and essential oils in the Bible.
At least we'll cover the basics.
All right, we'll call it that, like a hundred sermons, introductory course to foods and nutrients in the Bible.
How about that? And then maybe the next hundred is the advanced course.
I don't know. We'll see what it's like when we get there.
But thank you for listening today.
God bless you all.
And remember, we're living among God's miracles every day.
God's miracles surround us.
They live through us.
And the closer we are to nature in terms of food and medicine, the closer we are to God.
Thank you for listening. God bless you all.
