Jesus Reversed The Chemistry of Death

Yes, dear Prof Dr N. Sethi.  Thank you for your question.  Here’s my personal thinking:

I did mean it when I said that when Jesus told His mother "My hour has not yet come" (John 2:1-5) at the wedding at Cana where He performed His first miracle by converting barrels of water onto organic- based wine, Jesus meant (without telling us), it was still too early for Him to show He was a divine being who came to Earth in human form to give life.

When I read this verse it has very deep, deep meaning to me. I did not elaborate earlier because I too have to wait till I have a better understanding.

At the moment I am not at home to write on my home PC, and I am using my smart phone to type which is very difficult to write in much more details as I wish.

But very briefly, here’s what I  have earlier explained elsewhere.

Composition of Wine:

Wine is just the chemical product of not just two life giving, but living substances, namely grapes and yeast through fermentation. Wine is NOT alive, but is the biochemical product of these TWO, just like God and Jesus together as ONE  living Being

Wine is produced by one way biochemical reaction via fermentation

This reaction is ONE WAY that CANNOT be reversed to give back the living yeast and the vine that produces the grapes with glucose in them.

It will require an awesome divine power to reverse this chemistry. But Jesus did it, but not immediately. He waited till His time has come probably He waited for that “living energy” to be pumped into His body by His Father (God) in heaven to begin His ministry on Earth.

So Jesus waited till His time comes to reverse this irreversible chemical reaction. That was why Jesus told His mother "My hour has not yet come" Can we now not understand why He said that to His mother?

For this reason at that moment Jesus merely changed water into wine as a precursor of life what He was going to do much later to Lazarus.

It was much later that Jesus showed His true life-giving miracles on Lazarus

Chemical Reaction Reversing from Death to Life:

This time round He reversed  a totally irreversible chemistry of a dead person to the functioning chemistry of a living person (the Chemistry of Life) who was Lazarus as His first living miracles  by raising him from the dead

This time, His time has come by doing the opposite of what He did when He first performed His first miracle by converting water into wine.

To me this is awful, simple awful. It is awesome, simply awesome where even chemistry and the laws of chemistry governing their reactions have to obey Jesus. Even the fixed laws have to obey and give way at the command of Jesus.  

Jesus simply reversed all  the break down chemicals of decomposition that may have already seeped into the soil where Lazarus laid in his tomb.  He caused them to move and gather together in one place once again to be assembled into Lazarus body.

The account on how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead is given in John 11:38-44.

This to me was simply awesome, just far too mind blogging at least for me to understand.  How did all the chemicals of decomposition come together once again probably already seeped into the soil

Not just that. Jesus reversed their original breakdown chemical reactions and became living biomolecules once again inside Lazarus body.

 It was clearly the case of from the Chemistry of Death into the Chemistry of Life.  Even chemistry and its irreversible laws of chemical reactions have to obey Jesus as He commanded

This is really beyond me.

Not just that alone. He was able to multiple food many, many times over to feed some 5.000 people who followed Him (Matthew 14:13-21).

How did Jesus managed to convert  five loaves of bread and two fish the disciples have into so much food to feed some 5,000 people.

Not just being able to multiple five loaves of bread to feed the multitude of people, but a lot of leftovers too. ”picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.”

Food was Once Living:

We know that food can only come from a living thing. All food MUST originally be living and have life in them first. That is so sure, until killed and sacrificed as food before the food of life can be passed on to the next living creature in order to give it continuing life. That is more than for sure.

We have to admit that food must first come from a living thing such as fish, and cereal grains such wheat plants to give us bread. Food cannot arise from non-living substances such as sand, cement, concrete, bricks, soil, water and air. We cannot eat bricks and sand to give us life expressed in the chemistry of life. That is for sure!

Those living things must sacrifice their lives first to provide us food such as fish and our daily bread. This is exactly how Jesus has to sacrifice His life in order to give us eternal life.   

 In other words no living things, be he humans or animals can eat non-living things like rock, cement, soil or bricks…etc. It MUST once-upon-a-time have life in them in order for it to pass on this “spark of life” on to the next living creature  like a flame from a lamp passing on its flame to the next unlit lamp. .and on and on until ALL the unlit lamps in a row are ablaze with light, warmth and light…all representing LIFE

But where did this spark of life first came from to ablaze the entire planet with all sorts of life and living things?

There is no other alternative but to give this credit completely and totally to an Intelligent Being who has that Eternal Flame of Life.

This scenario to my thinking is parallel to Charles Darwin Theory of Evolution how the first life on  Planet  Earth  radiated into so many kinds of life forms and into millions of species  on Earth.

In short, life has to be given and passed on from life-to-life. We have no choice trying to think of other alternatives.

I think we have just no choice but to give our COMPLETE and TOTAL Credit to God and to Jesus whom God sent to Earth to show us the truth which we as scientists have been blind to  because to me, we may have profound knowledge in Science but definitely NOT in  wisdom

We can never acquire wisdom by learning in a university, but wisdom unlike knowledge can only be given to us spiritually by seeking   it through daily prayers just like King Solomon asked  in his dream    

Just once again to echo what I said. We  have to admit that food must first come from a living thing such as fish, and cereal grains such wheat plants to give us bread. Food cannot arise from non-living substances such as sand, cement, concrete, bricks, soil, water and air.

Those living things must sacrifice their lives first to provide us food such as fish and our daily bread. This is exactly how Jesus has to sacrifice His life in order to give us eternal life. We cannot deny this, and we have no other ways to explain or to choose.   

Just remember, God is a Spirit. He is not a material Being we are able to see, touch, measure or to investigate.

Science is merely a study of matter and energy, and their properties. Science cannot detect or study something outside our physical dimension.

We belong to the physical world and God is at the other end in a Spiritual World and dimension where  we cannot enter, and neither beings from a spiritual world enter into our physical dimension to tell us their eternal existence, whereas our life-span is just an infinitesimal 120 years at most by way of strength, 70 or 80  (Psalm 90:10)

Our physical body has a living soul which is enshrined as one entity, and when we die a physical death the soul separates from our physical body and enters into the spiritual dimension and remains there throughout all eternity.

The spiritual soul does NOT die. We die because we are mere physical being, and we return to the soil from where we first came.

Adam was made from the soil of the earth, but it was NOT living until God breathed into his nostrils and Adam became the first living soul (dead physical body plus a soul = a living entity)

 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7) KJV

I have never heard this preached by anyone in my entire 80 years in life, so I like to share my personal thought with you.

Thank you for reading, more importantly to ponder over this yourself.
