Metaphysical Bible Study

Jesus once said that if you know the Truth… the Truth will set you free.  However it is impossible to know the Truth of God’s plan for us unless it is revealed to us by His Spirit.

And why do we need this knowledge?

“That you maybe filled up to the measure of ALL the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19

The core Bible Ascension message is all about manifesting the fullness of ALL the blessing in form. Manifesting in your physical world – this dimension ALL that Jesus died to make available to us. This is limited only by your ability to believe. Your ability to believe is limited by your level of revelation knowledge.

The truth must be revealed to you by the Spirit through the word preached by someone… via written message, video, audio, or in person..  The truth must then be received, believed, and acted upon by each individual.

The TRUTH is huge. It is so big… It  may be bigger than anyone has yet realized. But it remains a spiritual fact that the individual person can never manifest more of the TRUTH than they have received as TRUTH and believed it with their heart and confessed it with their mouth.

If you haven’t heard the message you can not know this truth.  If you don’t know this truth you cannot believe it and therefore you can not demonstrate it in your life.

Listen to what Solomon of the Odes has to say about the process and power of revelation knowledge:

Odes of Solomon

Ode 9: 8-1

8. An everlasting crown for ever is Truth. Blessed are they who set it on their heads:
9. A stone of great price is it: and there have been wars on account of the crown.
10. And righteousness hath taken it and hath given it to you.
11. Put on the crown in the true covenant of the Lord.
12. And all those who have conquered shall be written in His book.
13. For their book is victory which is yours. And she (Victory) sees you before her and wills that you shall be saved. Hallelujah.

Solomon of the Odes speaks of this crown of truth as a living crown in Ode 1

1.  The Lord is on my head like a crown, and I shall not be without Him.
2.  They wove for me a crown of truth, and it caused Your branches to bud in me.
3.  For it is not like a withered crown which does not bud: but You live upon my head, and You have blossomed upon my head.
4.  Your fruits are full-grown and perfect, they are full of Your salvation

Here you can see that the crown of truth placed upon your head… or in your understanding will bring forth the fruit of salvation.  You might say that because the truth was revealed to Solomon of the Odes, he was able to experience and express the full grown fruit of Bible Ascension… overcoming physical death and demonstrating all the Jesus died to give us.

In Ephesians 1: 16-23, Paul is praying that God will give us this spirit of wisdom and revelation knowledge that we can know and understand what this salvation is all about and who Jesus really is.

Listen to his prayer for you, a believer:

“I constantly make mention of you in my prayers — that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of Glory, might give to you a Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the sphere of a full knowledge of Him,

The eyes of your heart being in an enlightened state with a view to your knowing what is the hope of His calling, what is the wealth of the Glory of His inheritance in the Saints and what is the super abounding greatness of His inherent power to us who are believing ones as measured by the operative energy of the manifested strength of His might, which might was operative in the Christ when He raised Him from among the dead and

Seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, over and above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name that is constantly being named, not only in this age, but also in the one about to come.

And all things He put in subjection under His feet, and Him He gave as Head over all things to the Church, which is of such a nature as to be His body, the fullness of the One who constantly is filling all things with all things.”  (From Wuest’s Expanded Translation of The Greek New Testament)

I recommend that you pray the above prayer for yourself every day.  Revelation knowledge is the key to manifesting Bible Ascension in your life.

Be blessed,

Hello, my name is Marty Dow and I would like to introduce you to one of the most exquisite sacred scriptures I have ever read. You can feel the Presence of God emanating from the pages as you read these beautiful odes.

I was introduced to these writings by Annalee Skarin, the person who first taught me to the idea of overcoming physical death while on earth. Annalee wrote 8 books on the ascension. It has been reported that she translated her body into light in the 1950’s. I have never met Annalee Skarin but her writings have been a source of knowledge and inspiration for me as I make my journey into light.

The Odes of Solomon may be one of the earliest documentations of the Bible ascension process. I can not be sure who wrote these beautiful scriptures. However, for the purpose of our study on Bible ascension, I choose to treat them as being written by one man who I call Solomon of the Odes. I believe that they contain the exact steps used by this one person to achieve his ascension into light.

Odes of Solomon were translated by J. Rendel Harris, M. A., Hon, Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, sometime within the last century. Below are some of the comments made by the translator about these mysterious odes:

“Here are some of the most beautiful songs of peace and joy that the world possesses. Yet their origin, the date of their writing, and the exact meaning of may of the verses remain one of the great literary mysteries.

They have come down to us in a single and very ancient document in Syriac language. Evidently that document is a translation from the original Greek. Critical debate has raged around these Odes; one of the most plausible explanations is that they are songs of newly baptized Christians of the First Century.

They are strangely lacking in historical allusions. Their radiance is no reflection of other days. They do not borrow from either the Old Testament or the Gospels. The inspiration of these verses is first-hand. They remind you of Aristides’ remark, ‘A new people with whom something Divine is mingled.’ Here is vigor and insight to which we can find parallels only in the most exalted parts of the Scriptures.

There does not seem to be anything about which everyone seems agreed unless it is that the Odes are of singular beauty and high spiritual value.”

I am excited to use the Odes of Solomon in our discussions of the Bible in light of our ascension because these powerful writings reflect the Biblical teachings of Jesus. Solomon of the Odes is clearly a disciple of Jesus Christ. He often speaks of salvation through grace and of frequently refers to the Messiah. (Ode 34: 6)

In several of the Odes, he switches from his own voice to the voice of Jesus as he describes the experiences of Christ on the cross and in the realms of death. (Ode 22, 42) In Ode 19, he gives a clear picture of the role of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in the incarnation of Christ. He describes Mary and her reactions to birth of her son, Jesus.

Solomon of the Odes shares his transformation into light in many of the Odes. In Ode 21, he describes how he put off darkness and clothed himself in light resulting in a body that was free from sorrow or affliction or pains. In Ode 25, he writes of being clothed with the covering of the Spirit and that his human raiment had been removed. In this we can understand that he was clothed with light.

A beautiful reference to Solomon of the Odes immortality is referenced in Ode 28. Here is says, “For I am ready before the destruction comes (death); and I have been set on His immortal pinions: and He showed me His sign: forth and gave me to drink, and from that life is the spirit within me, and it cannot die, for it lives.”

He frequently writes of the deathless life that comes through the Messiah. In Ode 15:10-11, he states, “And there has gone up deathless life in the Lord’s land, and it has been made known to His faithful ones, and it has been given without stint to all those that trust in Him. Hallelujah.”

Another reason I am pleased to use the Odes of Solomon in our Bible study is that these Odes were discovered and translated just over 100 years ago. They were translated only once. Many metaphysical and alternative spiritual seekers are often resistant to the Bible because of the fear of mistranslations and omissions. To find so much confirmation to the Bible’s teachings on the ascension in these writings helps to confirm the reliability of the Bible in this area.

I will be teaching more on the Odes of Solomon in the Metaphysical Bible Study: The Bible In Light of Our Ascension Blog as well as creating other powerful resources based on the Odes of Solomon to aid you in your ascension work.

I have recently updated the Odes of Solomon to a more modern language. I simply translated thee and thou to you and your to make it more easy to read.
