The presiding priest over the baptism ceremony of Jesus was John the baptist.
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, in order to be baptized by him (Matthew 3).
Now a sinful human cannot preside over an angelic possession by Michael into a non adamic human (by the dirty water principle). So we are going to reveal a sacred secret of the greatest magnitude here.
We know that John the baptist was a supernatural conception not from a virgin, but from an old and barren woman.
7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well along in years (Luke 1).
Zechariah did sleep with his barren wife in order for the conception to occurs because we read:
23 When, now, the days of his public
service were fulfilled, he went off to his home.
24 But after these days Elizabeth his wife became
pregnant; and she kept herself secluded for five months (Luke 1).
So Elizabeth only became pregnant after her husband came home having fulfilled his period of service at the temple.
36 And, look! Elizabeth your relative has also herself conceived a son, in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her, the so-called barren woman (Luke 1).
31 And, look! you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you are to call his name Jesus (Luke 1).
21 Now when eight days came to the full for circumcising him, his name was also called Jesus, the name called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb (Luke 2).
13 However, the angel said to him: Have no fear, Zechariah, because your supplication has been favourably heard, and your wife Elizabeth will become mother to a son to you, and you are to call his name John (Luke 1).
Compare these four scriptures. Both Jesus and John were named by Gabriel before they were conceived in the womb! God can only choose a name for a son if the son is his son. God is not a thief.
John was not Zechariah’s son otherwise in God's justice he would have named him. Would the God who killed 70,000 people in Jerusalem with a plague because David registered them - see U40 and counted them as if they were his own, name a son, registering him as his own, when he was the offspring of someone else? Evidently not. The sons of Israel were owned by God as slaves, by virtue of the Law covenant. They were not his offspring however. The point is that the father names the son even if the father is a slave of his master. So John was non adamic and was a human son of God.
God did not steal him from Zechariah and Elizabeth because although John was conceived in the normal way, Elizabeth herself was incapable of such conception. God did the biology, so it was his son. He then genetically enhanced the embryo so that it became non adamic as he did with the embryo that became Jesus - see I18. This is precisely how Isaac was born to Abraham and Sarah - see I22.
Now only a non adamic person (having an associated angel) can preside over an angelic possession of another non adamic human by the angel Michael, by the dirty water principle which says: A priest cannot confer to a third party a cleanliness that he himself does not possess. So John must have been non adamic. However Jesus, who was also non adamic, was possessed by the angel Michael so was John possessed by an angel too?
Well, when Jesus came to John to be baptised, John did not know him...
32 John also bore witness, saying: I viewed the spirit coming down
as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him (John 1)
33 Even I did not know him, but the very One who sent
me to baptize in water said to me, 'Whoever it is upon whom you see the spirit coming down and remaining, this is the one that baptizes in
holy spirit.'
Had John not been possessed by someone, he certainly would have recognised his cousin! So John was possessed by an angel who had never seen Jesus. So obviously all angels cannot see everything going on down here. But which angel possessed him? We know it wasn't Michael and the only other angel explicitly named in the bible is Gabriel. Also he was specifically named as the angel through whom John was named.
16 Also, he will go ahead in sight of/before him
(i.e.
God) in spirit and power of Elijah (Greek Interlinear), to turn back
the hearts of fathers to children and the disobedient ones to the practical
wisdom of righteous ones, to get ready for Jehovah a prepared people.
17 And Zechariah said to the angel: How am I to be sure of this?
For I am aged and my wife is well along in years.
18 In reply the angel said to him: I am Gabriel, the one having
been standing alongside in sight of/before the God (Kingdom
Interlinear), and I was sent forth to speak with you and declare the good
news of these things to you (Luke 1:16-19).
Gabriel stands in sight of/before God and John will go ahead in sight of/before God. It is a very high form of priest who goes or stands in sight of/before God, in the sense that Gabriel meant it when he described his heavenly position to Zechariah. 'Standing near before God' means God's high priest. The two phrases are synonymous.
15 And as for the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who took care of the obligation of my sanctuary when the sons of Israel wandered away from me, they themselves will come near to me to minister to me, and they must stand before me to present to me fat and the blood, is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah (Ezekiel 44).
Look! Gabriel is telling us that he is going to act as a priest before God. So he is a priest related to John the baptist, and we know that John was angelically possessed when he acted as a priest presiding over the entrance of Michael into Jesus. So Gabriel would be a good candidate for that Job. Also since we do know the name of the angel who possessed Jesus, we should also know the name of the angel who possessed John, and there is only one other angelic name explicitly quoted in the scriptures. Furthermore the name 'Gabriel' in Hebrew means 'able bodied man of God' a name which requires the angel Gabriel to become an able bodied man, at some point. Furthermore he is to be an able bodied man not of Adam, but of God, so he is to possess a non adamic man at some point or points. This begs the question: Who presided over the entrance of Gabriel then? The answer to this is Melchizedek - see I21.
So when we read:
14 So the Word became flesh and
resided among us, and we had a view of his glory, a glory such as belongs to an only-begotten
son from a father; and he was full of undeserved kindness and truth.
15 John bore witness about him, yes, he actually cried out--this
was the one who said [it]--saying: The one coming behind me has advanced in front of me, because he existed before
me (John 1).
29 The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him, and he said:
See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is the one about whom I said, Behind me there comes a man
who has advanced in front of me, because he existed before me (John 1).
There must be a sense in which Jesus existed before John. But we all know that John was conceived and born 6 months before Jesus. So they both have to have been possessed. And the angel who possessed Jesus existed before the angel who possessed John. In other words. Michael was older than Gabriel. So the human vehicle of Michael, Jesus, that came 6 months behind the human vehicle of Gabriel, John, then advanced in front of Gabriel in priestly status, because it was possessed by an angel, Michael, who existed before Gabriel.
18 Now John's disciples reported to him about all these things.
19 So John summoned a certain two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord to
say: Are you the Coming One or are we to expect a different one?
20 When they came up to him the men said: John the Baptist dispatched us to you
to say: Are you the Coming One or are we to expect another? (Luke 7).
Obviously Gabriel was not possessing John at the time that he sent his disciples to ask if Jesus was the one. Because Gabriel when he was in John said regarding Jesus who had just come down from his 40 days in the wilderness:
29 The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him, and
he said: See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!
30 This is the one about whom I said, Behind me there
comes a man who has advanced in front of me, because he existed before me [they
both volunteered to come and save us at the same time, but Michael got the
greater assignment due to his seniority over Gabriel - see I16
and I28].
31 Even I did not know him, but the reason why I came
baptizing in water was that he might be made manifest to Israel.
32 John also bore witness, saying: I viewed the spirit
coming down as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon him.
33 Even I did not know him, but the very One who sent me
to baptize in water said to me, Whoever it is upon whom you see the spirit
coming down and remaining, this is the one that baptizes in holy spirit (John
1).
So the John who did not know Michael in Luke 17, was plain old John, the John not possessed by Gabriel. Just as the John possessed by Gabriel did not know Jesus when he came to be baptised. Are you with us? You see there would have been no need for God to tell John the baptist who the original Jesus was, since they had grown up together. But John without Gabriel inside him would not know that Jesus was the Christ, because Gabriel actually baptised Jesus not the original John.
This is why John the baptist, said to the Pharisees that he was not Elijah, whereas Jesus said that he was Elijah. Both statements were true.
21 And they asked him: What, then? Are you Elijah? And he said: I am not.
Are you The Prophet? And he answered: No!
22 Therefore they said to him: Who are you? that we may give an answer to those
who sent us. What do you say about yourself? (This is an inspired Reader
Question from the holy spirit: Answer - Gabriel, which one finds out by listening to what he says
about himself).
23 He said: I am a voice of someone crying out in the wilderness: Make the way
of Jehovah straight, just as Isaiah the prophet said.
24 Now those sent forth were
from the Pharisees.
25 So they questioned him and said to him: Why, then, do you
baptize if you yourself are not the Christ or Elijah or The Prophet? (John
1).
Good question (another Reader Question) The answer is - It was to baptise Jesus into the First and Second Abrahamic Covenants - See I28, and to preside over the entry of Michael).
13 For all, the Prophets and the Law, prophesied until
John,
14 and if you want to
accept it, He himself is Elijah who is destined to come (Matthew 11).
The above words of Jesus show that John was Elijah and that Elijah was destined to come again after John had died.
As regards the comings and goings of Gabriel into and out of John, it worked like this...The original John, was transferred into his associated angelic body, so as to allow Gabriel possession of his human body. But then, later, he took his human body back from Gabriel when Gabriel returned into his angelic body. The two conducted two body swaps. It was the original John the Baptist, who had his head chopped off by Herod for complaining about his having the wife of his brother, not Gabriel.
Here was a sacrifice and validation of Rachel, Keturah, the new earthly covenant, the second new covenant. This is not hard to see. Herod offered the daughter of Herodias up to half a kingdom. John’s head was required on a platter for her mother, and all of this occurred because John correctly pointed out that Herod should not be having Herodias, the wife of his brother, as his wife. If this does not symbolise a covenant for half a kingdom, the earthly half, what does?
In fact human validation sacrifices are non adamic. A son of Adam is hardly an unblemished first born lamb!
28 I tell you, Among those born of women there is none greater than John; but a person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of God is greater than he is (Luke 7).
11 Truly I say to you people, Among those born of women there has not been raised up a greater than John the Baptist; but a person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is (Matthew 11).
Gabriel is that person, less than Michael but greater than John, and not born of women.
21 and [while] I was yet speaking in the prayer, why,
the man, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the start, having been
made weary with tiredness, was arriving by me at the time of the evening gift
offering (Daniel 9).
So Gabriel was a man whom Daniel has seen in a vision. But here he arrives physically.
3 In being fatherless, motherless, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor an end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually (Hebrew 7).
Yes, Melchizedek, was made like the son of God, like Jesus. He was a non adamic human, a son of pre-fall adam.
1 Now the 2 angels arrived at Sodom by evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot caught sight of them, then he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the earth (Genesis 19).
5 And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them (Genesis 19).
10 So the men thrust out their hands and brought Lot in to them, into the house, and they shut the door (Genesis 19).
So these two angels were men. QED.
