MESSIAH
A symbol of the incoming Truth and Love, the
Higher Self born in the soul.
"Andrew findeth first his own brother Simon and saith unto him, We
have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ)." -
JOHN i. 41.
The astro-mental nature was enabled to modify the closely allied
physical brain and make it a better mental instrument for the needs
of the Christ, who had now appeared within the soul.
"Andrew stays with the Lord at the tenth hour and finds the Son of
God the Word and Wisdom, and is ruled by him as king. That is why he
says, 'We have found the Messiah,' and this is a thing which every
one can say who has found this Word of God and is ruled, as by a
king, by his Divinity. As a fruit he at once brings his brother to
Christ, and Christ deigned to look upon Simon, that is to say, by
looking at him to visit and enlighten his ruling principle; and
Simon, by Jesus looking at him, was enabled to grow strong, so as to
earn a new name for that work of firmness and strength, and to be
called Peter." - ORIGEN, Comm. on John, Bk. III. § 29.
The coming of the Messiah is Divine knowledge gained by experience
through the power of the Breath of Life in breathed, that is the
Mediator between God and man... But of the Breath of Life, in union
with the human essence, Messiah was to be made, by the mind going
through a fiery purgation, in which it leaves the dross behind,
namely, the old evil nature. The Living Breath uniting with the
upright and purified mind of the creature, and the human spirit of
the man with it; thus Messiah is made, born, and comes forth.
Charity bears him into the world for this principle (charity) is the
'Virgin Mary.'" - JOHN WARD, Zion's Works, Vol. III. pp. 200, 202.
“According to the Midrash Talpigoth, the Messiah will bring eternal
peace. It is said in the Zohar that, according to tradition,
wherever Solomon is mentioned in the Song of Solomon this King of
Peace is designated." "This is the Spirit of the Messiah, as it is
written: Renew a right spirit within me.' (Ps. li. 12)." - A. E.
WAITE, Secret Doctrine in Israel, pp. 143, 147.
