I have been meditating a lot on the report
below, by Dr. Pierre Barbet. Every time I read this text, I realize how weak we
are, how far we are from the true love of God for our lives, and how we deserve nothing.
Nothing can be compared to the price paid
for my life, only a blood sacrifice could set us free from our sins, not any sacrifice,
but rather the sacrifice of Him who is
the only true King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Only Yeshua can endure such an
atrocity, to bear all the sins of the world upon Himself.
Isaiah
53: 4-8 Surely he has borne our
griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God,
and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for
our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with
his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have
turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has
laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was
afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the
slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened
not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for
his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the
living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
John 3: 16-21 "For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should
not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the
world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does
not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of
the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world,
and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were
evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does
not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it
may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God."
So, dear beloved,
spend more time in prayer. Pray for the government of your country, pray for
your family, for your friends, but also pray for your enemies, do not cultivate
hatred. Pray for the nations to receive Yeshua as their Lord, pray for the Jewish people who does not
yet believe in Yeshua the Messiah, so that they may believe in a true and
Jewish Messiah. Pray for the Arab nations, that they will have revelation of
the Truth. Thus, it may be fulfilled "Isaiah 19: 22-25 And
the Lord will strike
Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their pleas
for mercy and heal them. In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to
Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the
Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be the third
with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying,
"Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel
my inheritance."
Pray more, seek the Lord more, there is nothing in
life more important than our relationship with Yeshua the Messiah, for He does
not want religion or religiosity, but a daily and sincere relationship, with
much love and grace.
Work less and spend more time in relationship
with your children, they want nothing more than your presence, your love, and
friendship. Dedicate time to your family, husbands: honor and treat your wife with more love, wives:
honor and treat your husband with more love. Honor your parents, smile more, live a sincere
relationship full of love with God.
Report of Dr. Pierre Barbet, French
physician, on the death of Yeshua
"I'm a surgeon and I've been teaching for some
time. For thirteen years I lived in the company of corpses and during my career
I studied anatomy in depth. So I can write without presumption about a death
like that.
Yeshua entered in agony in Gethsemane and his sweat
became like drops of blood running down the earth.
An account of the death of the Messiah: The only
evangelist who reports the fact is a physician, Luke. And he does so with the
precision of a clinician. Sweating blood, or "hematidrosis," is a
very rare phenomenon. It is produced in exceptional conditions: to provoke it
requires a physical weakness, accompanied by a violent moral dejection caused
by a deep emotion, by a great fear. The terror, the fright, the terrible
anguish of feeling carrying all the sins of men must have crushed Yeshua. Such
extreme tension causes the very thin capillary veins under the sweat glands to
burst, blood is mixed with sweat and concentrated on the skin, and then it
flows through the body to the earth.
We know the farce of the process prepared by the
Hebrew Sanhedrin, the sending of Yeshua to Pilate and the tiebreaker between
the Roman procurator and Herod. Pilate yields, and then orders the flogging of
Yeshua. The soldiers strip Yeshua and hold him by the wrist to a column of the
courtyard. The flagellation is carried out with multiple leather straps on
which are attached poles of lead and small bones.
The executioners must have been two, one on each side,
and of different stature. They beat the skin with lashes, already altered by
millions of microscopic hemorrhages of blood sweat. The skin breaks and breaks;
the blood gushes. At every blow Jesus reacts in a start of pain. The forces
vanish; a cold sweat permeates his forehead, his head turns in vertigo of
nausea, chills run down his back. If he had not been pinned up by the wrists,
he would fall into a pool of blood. Then the derision of the coronation, with
long thorns, harder than acacia, the executioners intertwine a kind of helmet
and apply it on the head. Thorns penetrate the scalp causing it to bleed
(surgeons know how much the scalp bleeds). Pilate, having shown that man torn
to the ferocious crowd, gives him up to be crucified. They place on the shoulders
of Jesus the great horizontal arm of the Cross; Weighs about fifty kilos. The
vertical stake is already planted on Calvary. Yeshua walks barefoot through the
streets of uneven ground, full of boulders. The soldiers pull him with the
ropes. The route is about 600 meters. Yeshua, fatigued, drags one foot after
another, often falls on his knees. And Yeshua's shoulders are covered with
sores. When he falls to the ground, the beam escapes, slips, and flakes its
back.
On Calvary the crucifixion begins. The executioners
strip the condemned man, but his tunic is glued to the wounds, and taking it
off produces excruciating pain. Those who have already removed a bandage of
gauze from a great wound realize what it is. Each strand of tissue adheres to
the living flesh: when they take the tunic, the nerve endings uncovered by the
wounds are lacerated. The executioners give a violent jerk. There is a risk of
all that pain causing syncope, but it is not the end yet.
The blood begins to drain. Yeshua is lying on his back;
his sores are incrusted in dust and boulders. They lay it on the horizontal arm
of the cross. The executioners take the measures. With a drill, a hole is
drilled in the wood to facilitate penetration of the nails. The executioners
pick up a nail (a long pointed nail and square), they rest it on the pulse of
Yeshua, with a precise blow of hammer they plant it and they thump it on the
wood. Yeshua must have scowled frighteningly. The median nerve was injured. One
can imagine what Jesus must have proved; a piercing pain, very sharp, which
spread through his fingers, and spread through his shoulders, striking the
brain. The most unbearable pain a man can taste, that is, that produced by the
injury of the great nervous trunks: it causes a syncope and makes one lose
consciousness. Not Yeshua. The nerve is destroyed only in part: the nerve trunk
injury remains in contact with the nail: when the body is suspended on the
cross, the nerve will tighten like a violin string stretched over the nail.
With each bump, with each movement, it will vibrate awakening tearing pains, an
ordeal that will last three hours.
The executioner and his helper wield the end of the
latch; they raise Jesus, placing him first seated and then standing; consequently
making him tip over backward, leaning on the vertical stake. Then they quickly
fit the horizontal arm of the cross onto the vertical stake. The victim's
shoulders rub painfully over the rough wood. The sharp edges of the great crown
of thorns pierce the skull. The head of Yeshua leans forward, since the
diameter of the crown prevents it from leaning on the wood.
Each time the martyr raises his head, sharp pangs of
pain begin again. His feet are nailed. At noon Yeshua is thirsty. He has not
had a drink since the afternoon before. Your body is a mask of blood. The mouth
is half open and the lower lip begins to sag. His throat, dry, burns, but he cannot
swallow. He is thirsty. A soldier stretches him over the tip of a stick, a
sponge dipped in sour drink, in use among the military; all that is an
atrocious torture. A strange phenomenon occurs in the body of Yeshua. The
muscles of the arms tighten in a contraction that is becoming more pronounced:
the deltoids, the biceps stretched and raised, the fingers curl. It's like it
happens to someone injured from tetanus. This is what doctors call tetany, when
the symptoms are generalized: the muscles of the abdomen tighten into immobile
waves, then those between the ribs, the neck, and the respiratory. The breath
becomes, little by little shorter. The air comes in with a hiss, but it cannot
get out. Yeshua breathes with the apex of the lungs. He has a thirst for air:
as an asthmatic in the midst of crisis, his pale face gradually turns red, then
turns into a purple violet and finally into cyanitic.
Yeshua is surrounded by asphyxiation. The air-filled
lungs can no longer be emptied. The forehead is drenched with sweat; the eyes
are out of orbit.
But what happens? Slowly with a superhuman effort, Yeshua
takes a point of support on the nail of the feet. He struggles with small
strokes, rises relieving the pull of his arms. The muscles in the chest
stretch. The breathing becomes broader and deeper, the lungs empty, and the
face recovers its initial pallor.
Why this effort? Because Yeshua wants to say,
"Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing."
Immediately the body begins to loosen again, and the
asphyxiation resumes. Seven sentences were pronounced by him on the cross:
every time he wants to speak, he must raise himself with the nail of his feet.
Unthinkable!
Attracted by the blood that still escapes and by the
clotted swarms of flies buzz around his body, but he cannot shake them. Shortly
afterwards the sky darkens, the sun goes down: suddenly the temperature
decreases. Soon it will be three in the afternoon, after a torture that lasts
three hours. All his pains, thirst, cramps, suffocation, throbbing of the
middle nerves, comes a cry: "My God, my God, why did you forsake me?"
Jesus cries out, "Everything is finished!"
Then in a great cry he says, "Father, into your hands I commend my
spirit." And die, in my place and yours. "
Pierre Barbet (1884–1961)
was a French physician, and the chief surgeon at Saint Joseph's Hospital in Paris.
After reading this impressive
report, if you want to receive Yeshua, or if you who already believe in the
Messiah, but were compelled by the enormous price paid for mine and your life,
say this prayer:
I believe that Yeshua is the
Messiah of Israel, he is the Son of God who came among us, was crucified, rose from
the death and lives in us through the Holy Spirit. He will return to reign over
all the earth, for every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua is
the Messiah.
I, (say your name), welcome
Yeshua the Messiah as my only and sufficient Savior and Lord.
I deny all involvement with
other gods, idols and entities; I declare that from now on, I belong to Yeshua
the Messiah.
Dear Father, I know that I am
a sinner and I need your forgiveness, I repent from my sins and ask that you
forgive me, as I forgive all who have harmed me. I invite you to come to my
heart and my life, and I ask you, write my name in the book of life, in the
name of Yeshua the Messiah, amen.
Now that you have received
Yeshua as your Lord and Savior, or if you have re-aligned yourself to the
Kingdom of God, write to us so that you may be instructed in the word of the
Lord !!!
In the sublime and wonderful love of Yeshua
haMashiach
