John 10:4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
John 10:5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
 

John 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

 

The word "Nicodemus" means "conqueror of the people". Nicodemus will later become a disciple of Christ, and he will be with Joseph of Arimathea when the body of Christ is claimed in Pilate's court, and he will also be part of the group that prepares and anoints the body of Christ for burial.

John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.

 

Nicodemus came to Jesus in the night to ask Jesus some questions. (Rabbi) in the Hebrew langue means

(Teacher or Master), and Nicodemus was a well educated man who was in a position of seeking out the truth in events. He was one of the men at the top of the religious order in the Temple, that was sending these scribes, Pharisees, and chief priests out to witness exactly what Jesus is doing, and the results of Jesus actions.

 

When Nicodemus saw and heard of the miracles done by Jesus Christ, he knew that no human could do such miracles except it be from God. He came at night to Jesus, and was careful because of the position in the religious community that he held. It is not a popular thing to be seen with this one that [Jesus] that was tarring down the traditions of men that the Jewish Kenite religious order has built up.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

"This is a very interesting statement, and in most King James Bibles the margin reads "again" as being "from above". In Strong's Greek dictionary, # 509, the word is "Anothen", "from above". You will never understand this statement that Jesus made unless you understand what it means to be "born from above." In a later verse, it is documented that you must be "born from above", or your soul will be lost for eternity.

The church world has their sayings that (Ye must be born again) and yet these verses they miss the understanding, because they do not understand what it means to be Born Again. The correct saying is you must be born from above. This is part of God's plan that everyone every soul must be born of a woman's womb. in other words you must come from heaven to this earth as a innocent baby.

For documentation we find in the Book of Jude whereby the penalty of the fallen angels is given, in as much as they left their place of habitation. Angels are to inhabit heaven at this time, In the book of Jude 1:6 there were certian Angels who came to this earth without permission and would not come here thru a woman's womb. 

Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

Why were they condemned ? They had full knowledge of the first age Event's and they could change the Event's written in the bible.

In Genesis 6:1-4, we read

Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Angels are not to be on the earth in the flesh age, except on special mission by God Himself. These angels that are in chains and bound for destruction, left the heavens without the permission of God, and as it is written in Genesis 6, were not born from above, but came from above. They were not born of woman, but observed woman and made play mates out of them. These angles cohabited with them, and the offspring of this weird relationship between these Nephilim, or fallen angels and women were the (Geber) which is to say (Giants). They were the misfits that roamed the earth. This was contrary to God's plan, and it was in this way that Satan and his tribe of fallen angels hoped to destroy the daughters of Adam, whereby there would not be a womb of humanity fitting to bring forth the promised Messiah, the Christ child. What was left would only be Satanic, angelic hybrids which would be a mixture of man and angel.

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

This is why the flood of Noah's day came to pass. These offspring of the wicked angels had the mind of their parents.  The children of these angels were as wicked as their fathers, which were the fallen angels in Genesis 6:8-9, But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord."  Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. Notice the phrase, "perfect in his generations". "Perfect" is from the Hebrew word, (Tamin), meaning without blemish as to breed or pedigree. This is talking about ones blood line. The blood line (Pedigree) of Noah and his family. There was only one Adamic family left on the face of the earth that was perfect in it's generations, and had not mixed with the fallen angels. So God destroyed the earth, and all the wicked ones in the flood. They were destroyed, and their souls as recorded in Jude 6 are being held for destruction.

Within God's plan, because of what happened in the first earth age, all souls must be born innocent from above. God's plan requires that each soul come into this world age through it's mother's womb, and make its own mind up whether that soul will follow God or Satan. That is free will, the right to chose the final destination of your own soul. They must be born innocent of the what happened in the first earth age, and the result of that first overthrow by Satan's downfall, as recorded in Genesis 1:2, when (The earth became void)

John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

Nicodemus still just did not understand what Jesus was saying, because he could only see the flesh realm and the law. He was looking only at the flesh.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

The word Verily, Verily, means is Truly is Truth. Jesus is telling him that there must be two births necessary; the birth of the water ( Bag of Water, Womb ) and of the Spirit. Many people teach that this (born of the water), means to be baptized, and this is not what is being talked about. To be born from above is to be born of the womb of your mother. Every child is born in a bag of water, in fact the normal birth is announced by the breaking of the waters with in the birthing bag. So we see in this that one must be born of woman, in innocence, and then (be born of the spirit). Born of the spirit means to accept the Spirit of Christ. That soul choosing by free will the Spirit of Christ into their Spirit. That is what the marriage of Christ is all about; to become one, in Christ.

This is why most people simply do not know what being born from above means, when they disregard what happened in the book of Genesis, and in that first earth age. They overlook all of satan's attempts to destroy the womb of woman, and God's plan to send us His Son that we might have redemption. God intervened in Satan attempt, as He always will do. This is why the book of Jude is so important.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

To understand this, lets go to I Corinthians 15:50

I Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. No soul in its flesh and blood body can enter the kingdom of heaven.

Remember back in Ecclesiastes 12:7; God told us what happens to the soul and the flesh when the flesh body dies. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.

Our flesh bodies are the accumulation of all the elements (Organic) in other words its, from the earth that we consume by eating. Upon death of ones body, the process then returns the decaying flesh body back to those elements. The soul's spirit came from God, and it will return to God when this flesh body dies. All will return to the Father, for He is the judge of your soul; whether for destruction or eternal life.

John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Ye must be born again, as we have see, ye must be born from above. If you are not born from above, that is to say, born of woman womb, then you would be either a demonic spirit, or from a fallen angel. This is against God's law and the plan of God. In other words how does a evil spirit come to you ? Its spirit is still on the earth looking for host (Flesh) to take over. In other words God would not allow the fallen spirits to enter heaven, and their evil spirit is still here. Remember,  where did Christ send the evil spirits to, when they asked him ? to the herd of swine.

Matthew 8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
Matthew 8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Matthew 8:30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
Matthew 8:31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
Matthew 8:32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Jesus is using an analogy here. He is saying you can hear the wind, but you can't see it. You can see the objects that are blown about in the wind, but the flow of the air itself you can not see.

When man's spirit separates from the flesh body, the soul's spirit goes where the soul goes. Man's spirit is the intellect of his soul which is that part of him that controls his soul and tells him what to do. The soul and the spirit are as one. The spirit is where your emotions come from and it gives you the ability to know right from wrong. It is from your spirit that your conscience gives you directions.

Jesus is saying that you cannot see where your spirit goes, for it is like the wind to our flesh senses, when it ascends to the Father. When you are with a loved one at the moment of death, you will not see the soul and spirit depart that physical body at the moment of death. But if you are familiar with that soul, your spirit will know when that soul has departed. Many times it has been reported that the ones that have died have spoken and talked to a loved one that has passed on, just prior to their giving up the spirit of life. God will send an angel to accompany the departing soul, into that transfer of the soul back to the Father that gave it.

Each soul must enter into an embryo once, and live in the human flesh as man [women] once, and during that life time each person has the free will to chose whom he will follow God, or Satan. At the close of this life; at God's appointed time, and for God's purposes, that flesh body is discarded, and the soul departs from the body, and returns to the Father that sent it. There is no transmigration of souls, as is taught in the eastern religions, but one soul, that enters one body, and lives in the body, until God appoints that soul to return home to heaven with Him.

What you do in this body is important, for your works do follow you, and at judgment day that is what you will be judged upon. That is why it becomes important to repent and believe on Jesus Christ, for in Him only is there salvation for your soul and your sins removed your soul's judgment at judgment day.

Paul addresses this in Hebrews 9:27-28 

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

When this happens you will not see the transfer of that soul when its spirit going back to our Heavenly Father. In the eons of time this is reality, and what we see with this flesh eyes can be a deception. Though you can not see it, it happens.

John 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?

When you do not understand the spiritual realm, then this is a normal question. Nicodemus had seen Jesus perform miracles enough to know that those miracles did not come from the physical realm so they must come from God. Nicodemus is opening his mind up to Jesus for understanding.

John 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?

Jesus then reverses the question back to Nicodemus, Are you not a teacher to Israel ? and you do not know these things ? This is the same reason that so many fall short in their teaching even today. There are many that claim to be teachers of God's Word, yet they peddle their wears of false teaching for many different reasons. If you have the understanding of God's Word, that is a gift from God, then that knowledge belongs to God. Jesus is telling Nicodemus, you claim to be a teacher, and you don't even know this?

Nicodemus didn't know the Word because he didn't study the word. Nicodemus studied the traditions that were accepted by the religious community of that day. In fact, he was one of the spiritual leaders of that community.

John 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.

Truly, Truly Jesus is saying to him, I'm sharing these things that I know to be true, and it appears that you are questioning our witness to those words.

John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

Jesus is telling Nicodemus, now that I have told you where and how the soul has come into the flesh and departs to the Father, these things that are fleshly and you still can not understand. There is then no way that you can understand the revelation that Christ brought of the spiritual realm without the Spirit of God. It is impossible.
