Якщо ви хворі, ти йдеш до лікаря. Це те, чого нас навчили робити, і тому це те, що ми робимо. Багато людей, включаючи християн, ходити до лікарів. But where do doctors come from? What is the history of medical science? If Christians believe in the Bible and in Jehovah Rapha, the God Who Heals, then why do Christians go to a doctor instead of Jehovah Rapha? Why do Christians go to a doctor instead of believing the Bible; Слово Боже, and expect their healing from Jesus Christ, by Whose stripes you were healed? What does God say about doctors and medical science in the Bible? Does God approve doctors or not?
Has God changed throughout the ages?
Has God changed throughout the ages? Ні, Бог той самий, вчора, сьогодні, і назавжди. God has not changed and the will of God has not changed. God is the same and will always be the same. If God був Єгова Рафа, then God still є Jehovah Rapha and God will always бути Єгова Рафа.
God still thinks the same way about matters Today, as God did in previous times. That’s why the Word of God is still powerful, Надійний, and the truth.
We are the ones, які змінюють, не Бог. Many times we slowly change things, without even being aware of it.
Наприклад, when we look at the church, we see that the Word has slowly changed due to people’s experiences, потреби, похоті, і бажань, і суспільство. Many don’t want to change and kill the deeds (роботи) плоті, because they want to live their own lives and do their own will and live like the world.
Instead of submitting to the Word of God and doing God’s will, they change the Word of God to their will and needs, so that they can walk just like the world. That is why the salt has lost its favor.
The spiritual war between
the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of darkness
Many Christians are not aware of the spiritual war that is going on between the Kingdom of Heaven (Царство Боже) і царство темряви (царство диявола, царство світу). When you repented of your sins and gave your life to Christ, you were delivered from the сила темряви and were transferred into the Kingdom of Heaven; the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
When you served your old master; диявол, you walked after the flesh and walked in darkness. The devil and his kingdom represent sin, зло, темрява, неволя, знищення, тощо.
The eternal destination of the devil will be Hades; пекло. But the devil will not enter hell by himself. All the followers of the devil; all the creatures (Ангели) and human beings, who listened to the devil and obeyed the devil, will join the devil in hell.
The devil’s purpose for every human being is to destroy their life and take them to hell with him. When you obey and serve the devil, then death dwells inside of you.
але, when you repented and became born again in Christ, you became a new creation and got a new Father, a new Master. Your new Master walks in the light. Therefore as He walks in the light, so will you walk in the light. Jesus and His Kingdom represent righteousness, святість, light, liberty, Кохання, радість, мир, тощо.
Всі, who is born of the Spirit of God and walks after the Spirit and walks in Його заповіді, will have eternal life. They will not walk in sin anymore and are no longer led by their flesh. But they will walk after the Spirit in obedience to the Word. They will walk in the dominion; the power and authority, that Jesus Christ has given them.
Панування в Ісусі Христі
Перед падінням, людина (Адам) was created after the image of God. Man was appointed by God to have dominion over the earth and came directly under God (Ель-Елохім, Трійці) in the hierarchy. Man had повноваження (панування) over angels, земля, тварини, тощо. So before the fall, man had authority over the serpent, сатана, and the fallen angels.
але… because man became disobedient to God’s commandment and listened to the devil, who came in the disguise of a serpent, людина згрішила, and gave his authority; his keys, до диявола.
З цього моменту, satan and death had authority over man and reigned in their lives.
But Jesus Christ took back the authority of the devil, через Його досконалу роботу викуплення (Читайте також: ‘Божа робота спокути«)
Jesus restored the relationship between God and man. Всі, хто б повірив у нього, and would be born of the Spirit of God would become a new creation; нова людина у Христі (Читайте також: ‘Мир, який Ісус відновив між грішною людиною та Богом«, ‘Ісус відновив становище занепалої людини’, і ‘Восьмий день, День Нового Творіння‘
Jesus gave the authority back to the new man. So that the new man would have dominion again over the earth, і все живе (except people), і ангели, including the devil and the other fallen angels.
The unredeemed man is still under the devil’s authority, but the redeemed man; the new creation has authority in Christ over the devil.
Тепер, маючи все це на увазі, let’s have a look at the subject of diseases, хвороба, і зцілення, because that’s what this article is all about. Let’s go back to the origin and find out where sickness comes from and if medical science; Лікарі, medicine, терапевти, лікарні, тощо. originate from God or not.
If God has blessed doctors,
then why does God call Himself Jehovah Rapha?
У Старому Завіті, we do not read a lot about diseases and if someone became ill, then God healed them a.o. by the sacrifices and offerings; the blood of animals (as we read in the Book of Leviticus).
Багато разів, when people became disobedient to God they became ill. We read this, наприклад, in the Book of Kings, and the Book of Chronicles. Бог обіцяв, that if we keep His commandments, God will take away all sickness and disease (Ой. in the Book of Exodus 23:25 і Повторення Закону 17:15).
Let’s look at the story of king Asa. King Asa was obedient to God and kept God’s commandments, за винятком високих місць, he did not take those away.
Цар Аса
King Asa trusted the Lord and relied on God. God was with king Asa and gave nations into his might until the moment that king Asa didn’t rely on God anymore and went his own way.
The heart of king Asa did not go out to God anymore. God wasn’t his Jehovah Nissi, nor his Jehovah Jireh anymore. Цар Аса зрікся Бога; he had exchanged God for another king, an earthly king; людина (creature).
Ханані, a prophet of God, went to king Asa to warn him. But Asa didn’t listen to Hanani and became ill. When King Asa became ill, he did not show any regret or mercy to God. Asa did not repent of his ways, і не шукав Бога.
Physicians instead of Jehovah Rapha
Instead of calling for Jehovah Rapha, king Asa called for the physicians (translation in Hebrew raphia). Ми могли б сказати, that in our time we call these physicians doctors? These physicians were an abomination to God. These physicians were not able to heal king Asa and king Asa died:
Тоді цар Аса взяв усю Юду; і вони винесли каміння Рами, і деревина з нього, яким Вааша будував; і він побудував із нього Ґеву та Міцпу. І в той час провидець Ханані прийшов до Аси, царя Юди, і сказав йому, Бо ти покладався на сирійського царя, and not relied on the LORD thy God, тому військо сирійського царя втекло з твоєї руки. Чи не були ефіопи та лувіми величезним військом, з великою кількістю колісниць і вершників? ще, бо ти покладався на Господа, він передав їх у твої руки. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Тут ти вчинив нерозумно: тому віднині тобі будуть війни.
“In his disease він sought not to the Lord, але до лікарів”
Тоді Аса розгнівався на провидця, і посадили його до в'язниці; бо він був у люті на нього через цю річ. І Аса того часу гнобив декого з народу. І, Ось, діяння Аси, перший і останній, ось, вони записані в книзі царів Юди та Ізраїля. І захворів Аса на тридцять і дев'ятий рік свого царювання на ноги, доки його хвороба не переросла: однак у своїй хворобі він не звертався до Господа, але до лікарів.
І заснув Аса з батьками своїми, і помер на сороковому році свого царювання. І поховали його у власних могилах, яку він зробив собі в Давидовому місті, і поклав його в ліжко, яке було наповнене солодкими запахами та різноманітними спеціями, приготованими аптекарями’ ст: і вчинили для нього дуже велике спалення. (2 Хроніки 16:6-14)
Єгова Рафа
Jehovah Rapha means, that if He is our God, then He is our Healer and ніхто else is. There are only 2 spiritual kingdoms on this earth, we don’t have more options.
When we look at the story of Asa; we read that he did not seek the Kingdom of God (he did not seek God, Єгова Рафа, у своїй хворобі). King Asa sought for help and for healing in the other kingdom: царство темряви. The ruler of the kingdom of darkness is the devil. Therefore he sought help from the devil.
These physicians were not of God, they were of the devil. I know for sure, that if Asa repented and turned back to God and sought God; Єгова Рафа, для зцілення, God would have healed him.
What are sickness and disease?
Sickness and disease are the results of demons operating in the flesh. The sickness that is visible and measurable in the body; the symptoms are manifestations of the damage that has been caused by the demon(с).
Наприклад, a tumor is a manifestation of a cancer demon and forgetfulness is the manifestation of an Alzheimer demon.
As long as we do not acknowledge sickness and disease (both mentally and physically) come from demons (demons manifesting themselves in a body or soul), but acknowledge them as a natural bodily reaction, we will never be able to heal people in the Name of Jesus (у Його владі) by laying on of hands, як Ісус.
We must acknowledge that the mission of the devil, and the other fallen angels, is to destroy and kill as many people as possible.
The devil sends his messengers, Його ангели, to people with only one commandment: to destroy every person on this earth. The angels can only come back if their mission is fulfilled.
The history of medical science
- Євреї мали свої закони про здоров’я, дані Богом, Єгова Рафа (book of Leviticus)
- Шумерська медицина (4000 е) ґрунтувався на астрології.
- Єгипетська медицина (1500 е) priests who were initiated in medical knowledge and many specialists in one particular disease.
- Перська медицина (1000 е) показали спорідненість із єврейськими законами охорони здоров’я та лежать в основі ісламських правил охорони здоров’я.
- Greek culture developed medicine from 3000 е. Medicine becomes a science based on research. У цій наук, views are developed based on the right balance between healthy and unhealthy. It could be realized by a proper way of living and a healthy environment. Another well-known doctor was Alcmaeon (500 е). The medical school of Kos had brought forth the ‘father’ of western medicine: Гіппократ (460-377 е), he had a profound understanding of human suffering and put the doctor in service of the patient. Hippocrates proclaimed that sickness had a natural cause instead of a spiritual cause. Гіппократ був здібним лікарем і вченим. He is the one usually credited with applying humoralism, or also called the doctrine of the four temperaments, as a medical theory. Essentially, this theory holds that the human body was filled with four basic substances, називають гуморами, які знаходяться в рівновазі, коли людина здорова. Вважається, що всі хвороби та вади є наслідком надлишку або дефіциту однієї з цих чотирьох речовин. These deficits could be caused by vapors that were inhaled or absorbed by the body. The four humors were black bile, жовта жовч, мокрота, і кров. In the 17th century, медична наука, заснована на наукових дослідженнях, пережила революційний розвиток.
Every culture had its own way of healing
This is just a very short summary of the origin of medicine. But it shows that medicines and doctors or physicians go way back, even before Jesus lived. I would like to remind you of the story of King Asa. King Asa also turned to a medicine man, a physician, instead of turning to Jehovah Rapha.
Every group of people (культура) had its own way of healing and its own kind of healers. Remember that the Jews had Jehovah Rapha (Бог), Хто їх зцілив.
The physician oath
Before a doctor can practice his profession, a doctor must swear an oath. The oath was originally derived from the Hippocratic oath. We can distinguish four parts of the Hippocratic oath:
- A diversity of gods are called as witnesses (not Jehovah Rapha)
- Угода, в якій молодий лікар клянеться виконувати положення професійної асоціації. У цій угоді записані принципи доброго спілкування.
- Summary of ethical codes.
- Declaration where the reputation of the doctor depends upon his loyalty to the oath.
The Hippocratic oath
Клянусь Аполлоном, цілитель, Асклепій, Гігієя, і панацея, і я беру в свідки всіх богів, всі богині, триматися відповідно до моїх можливостей і мого судження, наступну Присягу та угоду: Вважати дорогою для мене, як мої батьки, той, хто навчив мене цього мистецтва; жити спільно з ним і, при необхідності, щоб поділитися з ним своїм добром; Дивитися на його дітей як на рідних братів, навчити їх цього мистецтва; і це моїм навчанням, Я передам знання цього мистецтва своїм синам, і синам мого вчителя, і до учнів, пов’язаних договором і присягою згідно з медичними законами, and no others.
I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.
Я нікому не дам смертельних ліків, якщо про це попросять, і не пропонувати жодної такої поради; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.
I will not cut for stone, навіть для пацієнтів, у яких хвороба явна; Я залишу цю операцію для практиків, specialists in this art. In every house where I come, I will enter only for the good of my patients, тримаючись подалі від усіх навмисних поганих дій і будь-якого спокушання, а особливо від насолод кохання з жінками чи чоловіками, be they free or slaves.
All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, які не повинні поширюватися за кордоном, Буду тримати в таємниці і ніколи не розкрию. If I keep this oath faithfully, нехай я насолоджуюсь своїм життям і займаюся своїм мистецтвом, шанований усім людством і в усі часи; але якщо я ухиляюся від нього або порушую його, нехай моє життя буде навпаки.
The modern version of the Hippocratic oath
In many (Western) countries the original oath has been revised and an example of one now, is as follows:
Я урочисто обіцяю, що всіма силами я буду служити людству — доглядати за хворими, зміцнення здоров'я, and alleviating pain and suffering. Я усвідомлюю, що медична практика є привілеєм, який супроводжується значною відповідальністю, і я не буду зловживати своїм становищем. I will practice medicine with integrity, смирення, чесність, і співчуття — робота з колегами-лікарями та іншими колегами, щоб задовольнити потреби моїх пацієнтів. I shall never intentionally do or administer anything to the overall harm of my patients.
I will not permit considerations of gender, гонка, релігія, політична приналежність, сексуальна орієнтація, національність, або соціальний статус, щоб вплинути на мій обов’язок догляду. I will oppose policies in breach of human rights and will not participate in them. I will strive to change laws that are contrary to my profession’s ethics and will work towards a fairer distribution of health resources. I will assist my patients to make informed decisions that coincide with their own values and beliefs and will uphold patient confidentiality.
Я визнаватиму межі своїх знань і прагнути підтримувати та вдосконалювати своє розуміння та навички протягом усього мого професійного життя. Я визнаю та намагатимусь виправити власні помилки, а також чесно відповідати на помилки інших. I will seek to promote the advancement of medical knowledge through teaching and research. I make this declaration solemnly, Вільно, і на мою честь.
We can conclude that Western medicine is based upon Greek philosophy and has become a science. This science has been developed over the years, according to scientific research, and is still developing.
What about pharmacies and their symbols?
In order to know the origin of the pharmacy’s symbols and their meaning, we must go back to ancient Greek mythology.
У давньогрецькій міфології, Asclepius is the god of medicine and healing. Asclepius was the son of Apollo and Coronis. He shared with Apollo the epithet Paean (“Цілитель”). Аполлон носив немовля Асклепія (which he took from the womb of Chronis, мати Асклепія) до кентавра Хірона, who raised Asclepius and instructed him in the art of medicine.
Who is Asclepius?
Asclepius represents the healing aspect of the medical arts. His daughters are:
- Гігія (“Гігієна”, богиня/уособлення здоров'я, чистота, та санітарії),
- Ісус (богиня одужання від хвороб),
- Літ (богиня процесу зцілення),
- Аглая/Егле (богиня краси, пишність, слава, пишність, і прикраса),
- Панацея (богиня універсальних ліків).
Asclepius was associated with the Roman/Etruscan god Vediovis. Zeus killed Asclepius with a thunderbolt because he raised Hippolytus from the dead and accepted gold for it.
Other mythical stories say, що Асклепій був убитий. After bringing people back from the dead, Hades thought that no more dead spirits would come to the underworld, so he asked his brother Zeus to remove him. Це розлютило Аполлона, який у свою чергу вбив циклопа, який створив громовиці для Зевса
Жезл Асклепія, посох, обплетений змією, remains a symbol of medicine today. This symbol (жезл Асклепія) is used by doctors and physicians, а й аптеками, особливо символ із чашею, where the Asclepius rod is drinking from. Ця миска є символом гігієни, дочка Асклепія і богині здоров'я.
Let’s have a look at the symbols above. We all know these symbols, but do we also know their meaning and their origin?
Medical symbols
The symbol of the rod does not represent the serpent on the rod that Moses carried, which was a symbol of Jesus (як багато хто думає). НІ! It does not represent a copper snake. Because in the Bible the serpent turned into a rod, instead of that the snake entwined around the rod.
- The staff in the picture in the upper left corner, is an old astrology symbol and is also called ‘Caduceus’. Посох із крилами ніс грецький бог Гермес (також римський бог Меркурій). The snake represents dualism, що зрештою призведе до гармонії.
- In the picture in the bottom left corner, ми бачимо жезл Асклепія, also called Aesculapius staff. Цей жезл Асклепія носив грецький бог Асклепій, бог медицини і лікування. Обвита змія називається Епідавр і використовувалася в ритуалах зцілення.
- Чаша символізує Гігію, goddess of health and daughter of Asclepius.
The serpent is being fed out of the bowl (Picture in the middle and upper right corner). - The green cross comes from Greece and is a symbol of the union of pharmacies.
Ми бачимо, що ці символи, which are still being used for representing doctors, Лікарів, лікарні, аптеках, тощо. have their origin in Greek mythology and represent their gods. These symbols have нічого to do, with the Almighty God; Творець неба і землі.
The devil is not a creator but he is an imitator. He copies everything from God.
Де Єгова Рафа?
- Did Jesus ever send someone to a physician/doctor? Якщо так, де це написано?
- Did Jesus ever command his disciples to bring sick people to medicine men/physicians/doctors?
- Has He ever commanded the sick to go to doctors (Лікарів), коли Він піде до Отця?
- Лука був лікарем, but when he became a follower of Jesus, has he ever executed his profession? Якщо так, де це написано?
- Did God send sick people to physicians/medicine men/doctors in the Old Testament?
- Where are the physicians mentioned in the New Testament?
Ісус зцілив увесь who were sick and oppressed by the devil. He was a Man, who knew His authority and knew where sickness and disease came from.
Пост бичування
Дійсно, Він поніс наші страждання, і ніс наші печалі: але ми вважали Його враженим, вражений Богом, і страждає. Але Він був поранений за наші провини, Він був убитий за наші беззаконня: кара нашого миру була на Ньому; і Його ранами ми зцілені (Ісая 53:4-5).
All sickness and disease, in this present time, have already been redeemed at the whipping post, before the crucifixion. Jesus got the stripes at the whipping post, not at the cross. So before the crucifixion, He had already borne our sickness.
Peter wrote that ‘by His stripes, ми були Зцілив'. Therefore healing is already a fact, it’s already done.
Який Сам поніс наші гріхи у Своєму власному тілі на дерево, що ми, будучи мертвим для гріхів, повинні жити для праведності: Його ранами ви зцілились (1 Петро 2:24).
Жінка з кровотечею
Коли Ісус ходив по землі, вже були медики. We know this fact, by reading Mark 5:25-27 where we read about other physicians:
І якась жінка, який мав кров протягом дванадцяти років, And had suffered many things of many physicians, і витратила все, що мала, і нічого не покращилося, а швидше стало гірше, Коли вона почула про Ісуса, прийшли в пресі позаду, і торкнувся його одягу(березень 5:25-27).
Жінка, у кого були проблеми з кров'ю, had already spent a lot of money to many physicians. Так; she had spent all that she had. Але чи стало їй краще? Ні, власне кажучи, її становище погіршилося!
This mustn’t come as a surprise that her situation did not improve, but became worse, because physicians draw from the source of the devil; джерело смерті.
When you use medicines, ти не вільний, але в рабстві. Коли ви йдете на терапію, ти не вільний, але в рабстві, і врешті-решт, it will only get worse. The devil works through physicians and doctors, just like he worked through the serpent. He wants you to believe that you will be healed, but the truth is that your situation will only get worse.
This woman went to the One, Who was able to help her, and she went to Ісус -цілитель. Because she knew that Jehovah Rapha was able to heal her from all her infirmities.
Jesus promises a life living in freedom and not in bondage
У ці часи, we live according to the worldly system. Павло вже застерігав святих у Посланні до колосян 2:4-15 for worldly wisdom, що є безумством для Бога:
Стережіться, щоб ніхто не зіпсував вас філософією і марним обманом, За традицією чоловіків, За зачатками світу, а не після Христа (Колосяни 2:8).
У ці часи, we got so used to the worldly system, що ми більше не бачимо різниці між тим, що від Бога, і тим, що від диявола. Most of us don’t discern these two spiritual kingdoms.
We take doctors, лікарні, терапевти, Психологи, тощо, for granted and see them as something, which is very normal and part of our life.
Some people even say that doctors and physicians are blessed ones, які послані від Бога. Добре, це одна з найбільших брехень! If people say that, then why did Jesus have to suffer and make atonement for the iniquities, гріхи, хвороба, and diseases of mankind? If this was true, then God could have sent doctors, instead of His Son.
Оновіть свій розум Словом Божим
When we get народжений знову і renew our minds зі словом Божим, when we seek the things which are above, which are in heaven and not on earth, then we will see and experience the truth of God. We will get to know the truth of God and discover the lies of the devil, which we have believed for many years.
We must renew our worldly thinking which says: якщо ви хворі, or have pain, ти підеш до лікаря, if you are depressed you will go to a психолог, if you have an ache in your back, you will go to a physical therapist, тощо, зі словом Божим.
Our carnal mind must be transformed into a spiritual mind. So that we will follow the Word and become doers of the Word and establish His Kingdom on this earth.
Усі ці твердині, which are built up in our thinking must be destroyed, and the only way to destroy them is by the Word of God.
Я хотів би вас підбадьорити, to take these scriptures and take everything, that has been written in this article. Look into it, study it, and find out the truth about Jehovah Rapha, our Healer.
It is time for the saints to arise and get back to God and acknowledge Him in all our ways, не лише кілька.
Let He become our Jehovah Rapha again.
In the next articles, I will continue with this subject about our Healer, our Jehovah Rapha, and look at the origin of лікувальна фізкультура, менсендік, Психологи, тощо.
Будьте сіллю землі’
