Beginning: "Only in the evening will light appear."
In fact, all prophecies, both Old Testament and New Testament, are testaments. Indeed, the word Covenant is a testament. And what was bequeathed must be fulfilled in due time. But in chapter 21 of John, and. Christ left a will for His disciples, for Peter and John.
Think back to chapter 21 of John.
1. After that, Jesus again appeared to his disciples, by the sea of Tiberias. Appeared so
2. Simon Peter, and Thomas, called the twin, and Nathanael of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of His disciples were together
3. Simon Peter tells them I'm going to fish. They say to him, we are going too. They went, and immediately got into the boat. And they didn't catch anything that night.
4. And when morning came, Jesus stood on the shore. But the disciples did not recognize Him that it was Jesus.
5. Jesus says to them - Children! Do you have food? They answered Him - No.

6. He said to them - throw your dare on the right side of the boat, and you will catch. They threw, and could not pull out the nets from the multitude of fish.
7. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved tells Peter that it is the Lord. Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, girded himself with clothes, for he was naked, and threw himself into the sea.
8. And the other disciples sailed in a boat, for they were not far from the land, about two hundred cubits, dragging a net with a fish.
9. When they went out to the earth, they saw the decomposed fire. And on it lies fish and bread.
10. Jesus tells them- Bring the fish you just caught.
11. Simon Peter went and pulled out to the ground a net filled with large fish, of which there were 153. And with such a multitude, the net did not break.
12. Jesus tells them - come and dine. Of the disciples, no one dared to ask Him - Who are You? - knowing that it was the Lord.
13. Jesus comes. He takes bread and gives it to them. Also the fish.
14. This, already, the third time Jesus appeared to His disciples, after His resurrection from the dead.
15. While they were having dinner, Jesus said to Simon Peter - Simon Jonah! Do you love Me more than they? Peter says to Him - so Lord! You know I love you. Jesus says to him - feed My lambs.
16. Another time he says -Simon Ionin! Do you love me? Peter says to Him - So Lord! You know. That I love you. Jesus says to him - feed my sheep.
17. Speaks to him for the third time - Simon Peter! Do you love me? Peter was saddened that he asked him for the third time whether you love Me. And he said to Him - Lord! You all know that I love You. Jesus says to him - feed my sheep.
18. Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you girded yourself, and went where you wanted, and when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and lead you where you don’t want.
19. He said this, indicating by what kind of death Peter would glorify God. And having said this, he says to him - Follow Me.
20. Peter, turning around, sees the disciple following him, whom Jesus loved, and who at the supper, bowing to His breast, said, “Lord! Who will betray You.
21. Seeing him. Peter says to Jesus - Lord! And he, what?
22. Jesus says to him - if I want him to remain until I come, what is up to you. You follow Me.
23. And this word rushed among the brothers that the disciple would not die. But Jesus did not tell him that he would not die, but said - if I want him to abide until I come. What do you care.
24. This disciple both testifies of this, and wrote it, and we know that his testimony is true.
25. Jesus did many other things, but if you write about it in detail, then I think that the whole world would not be able to accommodate the written books. Amen.
In this chapter, Jesus appoints His disciple Simon Peter as shepherd three times, as he finds him worthy. This is clear from chapter 16 of Matthew, where Jesus says to Peter - Who do you think I am?
Simon Peter answers - You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Jesus replies to him - Blessed, you are Simon, the son of Jonah, because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My Church. And the gates of hell will not prevail against her. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.
Truly I say that you who followed Me in the New Genesis, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of My Glory, you will also sit on 12 thrones and judge.
Of course, Peter and the apostles did a great job in the testimony of Jesus Christ. in His first coming.
But from everything that was said by Jesus Christ, it follows that the creation of the New Church will correspond to the New Time, in the New Genesis, which corresponds to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, when the Son of Man sits on the throne. Obviously. That the New Church is the creation of the New World, New life in the New Being, where the Leader of the Covenant Himself will sit on the throne. The name of the Leader of the Covenant is the Word of God, in accordance with the prophecy of John the Theologian chapter 19, verse 13.
In verse 15, Jesus, turning to Peter., Asks him if you love Me more than they do.
Where the word "more" indicates that Jesus values Peter's loyalty. What is his devotion? And, here, we must remember the denial of Peter. Did Peter really deny Christ? In fact, Peter said- "… I do not know this man" Why did he say that?
After Judas delivered Jesus into the hands of the high priests in front of all his disciples, Jesus was arrested. But at that time, one witness was not enough for a legal arrest. At least two witnesses were needed for a legal arrest. And, as you know, from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John., The high priests, intensely, are looking for witnesses. And the maids and the people of the priests help them in this.
Obviously, the most ideal witnesses would be Jesus' disciples. But the Lord, foreseeing this, made His disciples scattered. This is clear from the words spoken by Jesus - "… I will smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered."
But Peter followed the arrested Jesus. And then the servants and people of the high priests appear, who ask Peter provocative questions, hoping that Peter will confirm the testimony of Judas. If Peter had told the people of the high priests that he knew Christ, and that Christ, indeed, was a rabbi, as Jude said.
Then Peter would have confirmed the words of Judas and would have been a witness for a legal arrest.
But Peter understood the situation and acted wisely, like a partisan. He did not become a witness, and thus did not deliver Jesus into the hands of the high priests, as Judas did. For this, Peter had to be told that he did not know this person, which he did. Surely, Peter hoped that if they did not find the required number of witnesses, then, perhaps, they would release Jesus from arrest.
What would you do if you knew that you were looking for witnesses for a legal arrest? Here, it should be noted that Peter acted wisely in the situation in which Jesus found himself. There was no other way out. This is Peter's loyalty to Jesus. As they say, Peter did not surrender Jesus to his enemies. And Christ appreciated this not an easy act for Peter.
And so He appoints Peter to be the shepherd after Himself. In the first address to Peter, Jesus tells him - feed My lambs. Where the lambs are young, lambs, children. Obviously, Jesus appoints Peter as shepherd after His departure. After all, His disciples are not yet strong, young people, therefore they are lambs.
Jesus himself is very caring and affectionate towards them, as can be seen from verse 5, where He tells them - Children, and prepares dinner for them..
Further, in verses 18 and 19, Jesus predicts to Peter that the end of his life will be the same as that of Himself. This follows from the words of Jesus - Follow Me.
The Apostle Peter, during the times of Christian persecution, leaving Rome, met Christ. "Where are you, Lord?" - asked Peter. “To Rome to be crucified” - answered Christ.
Then Peter understood and returned to accept the inevitable lot. But he considered himself unworthy of the Lord, and accepted the crucifixion upside down, so as not to become like the Lord.
In verses 16 and 17, there are two more appointments to be Shepherd, no longer lambs, but sheep. This means that Peter has yet to come to life as a shepherd. twice. That. That both Peter and the other disciples will come to life at the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus told them directly, verse 28. But when is Peter going to be twice as a shepherd?
Not hard to guess. After all, Jesus told Peter, that on this rock I will build My Church, that is, the New teaching.
Peter means stone in translation. And here, you don't have to go far. Petrograd was built by Peter the Great, who, of course, was a shepherd of sheep, for Peter the First was the sovereign of Russia … It is known that people who came to the city must have a cobblestone with them to build the city. But Peter himself means a stone. And on this stone, one might say, Petersburg was created.
It was on this stone in the city of Petrograd, in October 1917, that the Lord created the New Church.
Now, let's look at the cryptic number 153 (verse 11).
Peter the Great passed away in 1725. Let's add the number 153 to this date, and we get 1878. But this is the date of birth of I. V. Dzhugashvili. Where the word dzhuga means steel in translation It is known that Joseph Dzhugashvili studied at the theological seminary, as did Felix Dzerzhinsky. When they heard the name Lenin, they recognized the voice of their Shepherd. And therefore. They left all their affairs and followed Him. At this time came to life, not only. 12 apostles. But there are others who followed Christ in the First Coming.
It should be noted that the date 1878 will be changed to 1879, possibly as a result of an error, which is often the case with paperwork. Perhaps for reasons of conspiracy. Perhaps this is God's providence. We do not know how it happened.
However, both dates cannot be denied, since the date 1878 is recorded in the church books, and this is a fact. But the date 1879 was officially approved in all subsequent documents of Joseph Dzhugashvili - Stalin. So it turns out that both dates are valid, as a fact of his biography.
In verse 20 of this chapter. It is said that Peter, who was instructed to follow Jesus, turned around and saw John also following Jesus. Then Peter began to doubt whether he understood correctly what Jesus had told him. After all, Jesus aloud, did not give any instructions to John … Then Peter asked Jesus - Lord, and what is he?.. To which Jesus answered that Peter should follow Him That is, the instruction for Peter to follow Christ remains in force … This means, that the instruction for Peter is correct, but John, too, received an unspoken assignment..
What is meant by Jesus' words regarding John - "If I want him to abide while I come."
Until I come, it means that we are talking about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ And at the same time. Means that John must come to life before Christ. It is clear that the task was given mentally, which is subject to Christ. If John must come to life before Christ comes, it means that John is assigned the role of forerunner. But the mission of the forerunner is that the forerunner must prepare the way for Christ and, somehow, point to Christ.
Since it is known that Christ in the Second Coming will come under the name of Lenin, it is not difficult to guess who the forerunner is.
The name of the forerunner is, of course, Marx. The well-known slogan Marxism-Leninism tells us about this.
It is obvious that Marx is the forerunner of Lenin. Then we will calculate the name of the forerunner using the ordinal numbers of the Russian alphabet.
M - 14 = 1 + 4 = 5; A - 1; P - 18 = 1 + 8 = 9;
K - 12 = 1 + 2 = 3; C - 19 = 1 + 9 = 10 = 1 + 0 = 1;
K - 12 = 1 + 2 = 3;
A - 1;
P - 18 = 1 + 8 = 9;
L - 13 = 1 + 3 = 4;
Total: Marx = 5 + 1 + 9 + 3 + 1 = 19; Karl = 3 + 1 + 9 + 4 = 17;
Where surname Marx = 19, First name Karl = 17;
We replace the last name and first name with the received digital values, then we get the date - 1917.
Thus, the forerunner Marx points to Jesus Christ under the name of Lenin, coming in 1917, where we learn the name from the slogan - Marxism - Leninism, and the date of the Advent we learn from the calculation of the name of the forerunner.
Speaking of Marx, one cannot but recall his friend, companion and like-minded person - Friedrich Engels.
F. Engels, in fact, was a member of his family. And he gave great support to Marx and his family. But the friendship between them was by no means accidental. Here, it is appropriate to recall the Gospel of Matthew chapter 20, where the mother of the brothers John and James asks Christ to let her sons sit on either side of Him, in His Kingdom. And then Jesus asked the brothers if they could drink the Cup, which He would drink, and be baptized with the baptism that He was baptized with. The brothers answered that they could.
To which Jesus answered them that they would drink His Cup, and with His baptism they would be baptized. But to let him sit next to him, he does not decide, but the Father decides it.
And it seems that the Lord fulfilled the request of the mother of John and James. One cannot but remember the famous poster where V. I. Lenin, K. Marx and F. Engels are depicted together.
Thus, we can say that in the New Genesis -
John is K. Marx, and his brother, James, is F. Engels.
