From The Father A Message: Secondly, Jesus arose from the father a message the dead to fulfill His prophecy in proof of the truth of His claim to divine ambassadorship, to the message from the father a message the Father and to the right to give that message to the world. This fact is denied only by those who start by throwing out of court miracles, prophecies and all supernatural elements of religion. Their theories are summed up under Christology (q.v.). Against these theories are the subjoined, clear facts of our documents. The chronological order of these facts is matter of dispute; of the facts themselves there is no doubt.
First, Jesus appealed to His future resurrection in proof of the truth of His claim that He was the Ambassador of God the Father and that he had from the father a message God the Father a message for the world. This fact is clear to any reader of the historical documents called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Witness the sign of Jonas: ((Just as Jonas was in the belly of the sea-monster three days and three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the earth three days and three nights8 (Matt, xii, 39^U). Witness the sign of the Temple: "'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up' .
If the situation does not warrant a distress call, follow the same general procedure but rather than "MAYDAY," say "PAN PAN" (pronounced "pahn pahn") for an Urgent message, or "SECURITE" (pronounced "say-cur-i-tay") as appropriate, and change the text of the message to describe the situation. |
