WHAT DID
YESHUA WRITE IN THE DUST?
Do you know
that Yeshua did not write anything down for his disciples to follow, during the
less than four years of his ministry? The only time he did write something was
when he stooped down before the accusers of a woman caught in the act of
adultery and scribbled in the dust.
The story of
a woman caught in the act of adultery is found in the gospel of John 8: 1-11.
Briefly the story involves the Scribes and Pharisees, two Old Testament sects, who
in their continuous efforts to trick Yeshua into saying something they could
hold against him, brought before him a woman caught in adultery. They reminded
him that the Mosaic Law demanded she be stoned to death. But “what do you have
to say?” they asked him. There were two points in dispute, either Yeshua reject
the Law of Moses or reject the authority of Rome. Both ways they would have got
to discredit Yeshua as a prophet of God and bring charges to bear against him...
(It was never their intention to stone her because it was
against Roman law and to release her would have gone against Mosaic Law for
them).
At this
point Yeshua stooped down and started writing something in the dirt. When he
straightened up he said, “If any of you are without sin, let him be the first
to cast a stone at her. (John8:7) He then stooped down and wrote again. One by
one the people left. (Verses 8-9)
Now about
what Yeshua wrote in the dust.
We have
heard since childhood, we have read it on the internet that what they saw in
the dust, was their own sins, and then they went away, one by one.
What I have
gathered to date: To write about sins a person has committed, is not a short
process. It would take considerable time and besides there were quite a few of them
gathered there. So what he wrote briefly was, names of persons, places, events
and things. The Holy Spirit then opened up their minds to what they were being
accused of in his scribblings and the guilt factor within them amplified it to
such an extent that it became unbearable and they had to run away from there.
Not all of
them could have been weighted down with such grave sins to cause them to flee
thus. For others, I presume it happened somewhat like this. I call it
“unhinging”.
The
following is from my personal experiences.
I walk into
a general store. I pick up some merchandise. I move to the check-out counter, and
pay with a high denomination note. I am due some change in return. However the
amount returned does not tally with the receipt. I have somehow been paid more than I am due;
I bring this to the notice of the cashier and return the extra money. This has
happened to me quite a few times over the years. The cashier gets unhinged from
his train of thoughts and mistakenly pays me more.
I never yet
kept the extra money that was given me because it was just to show me the
powers T.H.S. has over people but never to make me rich.
(Remember his
words: I am not here for your entertainment. I am here to do my work. Please open http://holyspiritunavec.org Under I am not here

Here HIS work
being, to inform others of just what he is capable of doing, if he wants to that
is, unhinging your train of thoughts and behavior.
Anyway to continue,
with what might have happened to the rest of them. They too got unhinged from
the reason they had gone there and hurried about attending to their normal
activities, completely disregarding what was happening around them. Incredible
but it just could happen.
Here is another
incident. You head for your dept. store and when you get there, for the life of
you, you just cannot recollect what you had gone there for. You head back home
scolding yourself for not having written it down and the next time maybe you
will. But if he wants to, it can just vanish from your mind and try as you
must, it will not come back to memory. A memory recall failure all be it for a
brief period;
Here is
another incident to liven things up a bit. It’s from
Luke4: 28-30.
All in the
synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; and rose up and
cast him out of the city and led him to the brow of the hill on which their
city had been built in order to throw him down the cliff. (They wanted to
witness a miracle from him. He implied that they were unworthy of a miracle
from him. He implied that they were unworthy of a miracle being performed there
in Nazareth as was done elsewhere.)
Did they
actually desire to do so? Throw him off the cliff?
According to
T.H.S. they were only trying to intimidate him. They had no real intention of
doing so because he was a local lad and that’s why he was able to walk away
from them with ease.
The above
came out because I was under the impression that T.H.S. would manage to unhinge
them from their intentions to do so, once they had reached the cliffs. Given
this scenario he would have been able to walk away from them too.
The MAIN purpose for all that is written
above is to inform you, in an indirect manner and by illustration that T.H.S.
can control your life if that’s what he wants to and under circumstances where
you are completely helpless. So God rules!
There is not
much left to write concerning scriptures. Do keep asking him. Who knows you
might find your answers here.
