An Everlasting Night

John 3:1-2

There was a man from the Pharisees,

Nicodemus by name, a ruler of the Jews.

This one came to Yehoshua by night and said to Him,

‘Rabbi, we know that You have come as a teacher from God.

For no one is able to do these miraculous signs

which You do, except God be with Him.

Although we are surrounding the most famous verse of scriptures to the “Christian” world, there is much intensity that traditional “Christian” theology completely misses and does not inform the people whom Yeshua loves.

This is one special night.

Please understand that Nicodemus cannot be this man’s name. It is impossible.

Yeshua calls him “the teacher of Israel,” and he is “a ruler of the Jews.” Such a person could never have a Greek name of any kind.

Please try to understand the heart of this man who is deeply entrenched in the religion of Judaism in the most incarcerating ways. He is “the teacher of Israel,” and he is breaking all the political rules that religion establishes by meeting with Yeshua alone and treating Him with love and honor.

Yeshua loves this man, and his name is protected to this day. Two millennia later, we still do not know his name. He is under the shadow of the Almighty.

The meeting that happened on this “Everlasting Night,” changed the world from the moment it happened until now and into the future as long as time exists.

John 3:3-8

“Yeshua answered and said to him, “Amen. Amen.

I say to you, unless one is re-born (re-genesis’d) from

above he cannot see[1] the Kingdom of God.”

Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his

mother’s womb and be born, can he?”

This is not an intellectual experience. This is not a conversion experience. This is not a religious choice experience.

Colossians 1:12-15

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has made us fit for a share of the inheritance of the saints in light, Who delivered[2] us out of the authority (kingdom) of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins Who is the image of the invisible God, the First-Born of all creation.”

Herein, deliverance shows us that we are re-born from above, being brought forth out of the worldly darkness of evil, and we are given new life in the Father’s Kingdom of Love.

John 3:5-8

Yeshua answered, “Amen, Amen. I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is

born of the Spirit is spirit.

Do not be amazed that I said to you,

‘You must be reborn from above.’

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it,

but do not know where it comes from and where it is going;

so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

John 3:9-21

“Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?”

Yeshua answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things?

Amen. Amen. I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony.

If I told you earthly things and you do not believe,

how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?

No one has ascended into heaven,

but He who descended from heaven: the Son of Man.

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,

even so must the Son of Man be lifted up;

so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.

“For God so loved the world,

that He gave His only begotten Son,

that whoever believes in Him shall not perish,

but have eternal life.

For God did not send the Son into the world

to judge the world, but that the world

might be saved[3] through Him.

He who believes in Him is not judged;

he who does not believe has been judged already,

because he has not believed in the name of

the only begotten Son of God.

This is the judgment, that the Light has

come into the world, and men loved the

darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

For everyone who does evil hates the Light,

and does not come to the Light for fear

that his deeds will be exposed.

But he who practices the truth comes to the Light,

so that his deeds may be manifested as

having been wrought in God.”
