I AM is Bipolar

Part I.


The original High Priest of God from Aaron onwards had a breastplate they wore when officiating. It is called "ḥoshen".

Exodus 28: 15 - 30; Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 16 It is to be square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double. 17 Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; 18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst; 20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings. 21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes. 22 “For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 23 Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece. 24 Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 25 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. 27 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod. 29 “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord. 30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.

Compare this to St John's description of the New Jerusalem that descends to earth at the end of the Messiah's Millennium,

Revelation 21: 10 26; He showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It was shining with the glory of God and was bright like a very expensive jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 The city had a great high wall with twelve gates with twelve angels at the gates, and on each gate was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. 14 The walls of the city were built on twelve foundation stones, and on the stones were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod made of gold to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city was built in a square, and its length was equal to its width. The angel measured the city with the rod. The city was 1,500 miles long, 1,500 miles wide, and 1,500 miles high. 17 The angel also measured the wall. It was 216 feet high, by human measurements, which the angel was using. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was made of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundation stones of the city walls were decorated with every kind of jewel. The first foundation was jasper, the second was sapphire, the third was chalcedony, the fourth was emerald, 20 the fifth was onyx, the sixth was carnelian, the seventh was chrysolite, the eighth was beryl, the ninth was topaz, the tenth was chrysoprase, the eleventh was jacinth, and the twelfth was amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate having been made from a single pearl. And the street of the city was made of pure gold as clear as glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the city’s temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God is its light, and the Lamb is the city’s lamp. 24 By its light the people of the world will walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 The city’s gates will never be shut on any day, because there is no night there. 26 The glory and the honor of the nations will be brought into it.

Do you see how St John is telling us the original Breastplate of Aaron becomes the very City of a New Jerusalem over the hearts of His People on a New Earth? John was deliberately alluding to the Breastplate here as the Angel instructed him. If you study the Bible hard you will see that it does this from Genesis to Revelation. Most of it is hidden from plain view unless you spend many years with the Mysteries described in the Scripture. You must see the wood to see the trees. The eyes you need for that only come from loyalty. You can fool people about being devout, but God knows your heart. He rewads the loyal, not the pretenders.

There were two stones in the Breastplate called Urim and Thummim. They are the way the Israelites and their leaders could ask of the Lord what they should do in any given situation. He would tell them through the High Priest being guided to Urim or Thummim. It means YES and NO. The High Priest was allowed to ask God Almighty to tell Him Yes or No. That is what Urim and Thummim is. We can read of it in action here,

41 Then Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault,[d] respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared. 42 Saul said, “Cast the lot between me and Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.

It was used extensively by all the Kings of Israel before the fall of the First Temple. Christ Himself instructs us regarding it,

Matthew 5:37; All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Jesus is alludinbg to Urim and Thummim here. The Lord does not do "May be". He is pure binary YES and NO. He is URIM and THUMMIM. The gap between YES and NO is wider than forever. They can never become one. The universe and all Creation, even in Heaven, would not make sense without YES and NO and would not exist without it. Our own digital world is built on Urim and Thummim. It is 1 and 0, positive and negative. There is nothing inbetween but subcategories of it that continue yes and no.

I noticed Jesus was very bipolar in character. I noticed this about the prophets. I noticed it about David, Paul and Peter. It is like our experience of God pushes us to become bipolar beings as we grow in understanding what yes and no means.

Jesus could swing in mood from being as gentle as a lamb to fierce as an attacking warrior of great might. The dynamics of character required to do this without making yourself a complete fool of self contradiction to the point of being nonsensical require no further elucidation. Jesus could damn us to Gehenna for being sinners in one parable then stroke us like lambs in another. He looks like a monster to the ungodly. That is why they hate Him. He is their enemy and their ego's Nemesis. They know this at the back of their minds and souls. A lot of you will even hate me for writing these words. That says more about you than it does me, doesn't it. My intention is finished with last sentences.

Part 2.

When God first pressed my ON button it was like going nuts. It completely destroyed the old me. I was trying to hold on for years thinking that I was going wrong somehow. I was going wrong. I was holding on to an old NO life. God had told me to get rid of it all. Only by letting go of everything did I find my sanity once again. The old was the incapacitator, not the new.

Now I have the dynamics of character to screech a curse and kiss with gentle lips the same subject. Jesus taught me to say yes and no. I do it everyday. I tell much of life to be gone and tell some of life to come, depending upon its nature as being yes or no for God. I have become a mini grape-press like God is, like evolution is, a kind of yes and no reactor for the divine animation of my soul.

Jesus lived in Capernaum, ate its fish and walked its turf. He walked among the Jews at the Temple and taught them all about God's love. In the next moment He told them He would bring the Temple to ruin and scatter them. He told Capernaum it would be destroyed. Do you se the dynamics it takes to be that and still make sense more than any other human being ever made sense?

God's Way is not the way of people. He is the Blessing and the Curse. Once we ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, the binary tree of YES and NO, URIM and THUMMIM, we became binary psyches that must make choices animals are not even aware they are making. Yet they mess up far less than we. We are as amateur as Saul was regarding yes and no and to this day still we do not understand what it is to commit to one course or another. It is is definitely not may be that will get us from A to B. Only A or B choice can achieve that. Indecision is only purgatory, achieves nothing and ends up being no if it takes too long to say yes. A bridegroom will only wait so long for the answer,

"Will you marry me?".

Who would be happy with may be as an answer to a question like that? That is how it is with God.

A born again bot?

Roaming around ATS labelling people as bots is like…. A Bot.

If you disagree with posts come up with something intelligent.

If that’s in your programming.

a reply to: Merman

Thanks for the information relating to the breast plate. That hadn’t been revealed to me.

Interesting post.

a reply to: NorthOfStuffx2

I read two lines of that nonsense and realized it’s a bot skimming the internet. What I disagree with is bots pretending to be real persons and posting low effort (for a bot) meaningless content. It’s easy to spot, because like a parrot, they have zero understanding of what they’re saying.

So yeah, a born again bot is pretty freaking hilarious.

a reply to: HeirHeart

So you didn't even read the full post to TRY to understand the OP's point of view pertaining to universal absolutes, the duality of man and the bipolar nature of Christ?

Some high concept stuff that required 2 posts in order to express...

And then comment about low effort and zero understanding?

a reply to: CloneFarm1000

Hehe, yup that’s all it took to recognize a bot doing some pulpit preaching. At least I’ve got a sense of humor.

A lot of you will even hate me for writing these words. That says more about you than it does me, doesn't it. My intention is finished with last sentences.

I doubt anyone hates you Merman. The topic you write about is philosophical that goes beyond the bounds of most peoples knowledge (at least mine). I felt a similarity in your topic to that of Yin and Yang but I am no expert in Chinese philosophy as well.

Anything that pulls in the reigns of the evil one. Our egotistical mind that functions similarly to analog devices. Is not a bad thing.
