The Eagle Soars: Volume 2; The Book of John, Chapters 2-4

This is the second in a series taken from William LePar's lessons on the Book of John covering chapters 2- 4. Mr. LePar's spiritual source, The Council, give it their whole hearted recommendation, "Some of the information that has come out and will come out will never be out again. Now do you understand when we say it will never be out again, we mean in the form that it is presented, in those particular words? The truth has always been and always will be. But it is the proper construction or the proper presentation that makes the difference, that makes for the understanding and the acceptance.

"Now, at the risk of sounding egotistical, we would recommend that (Mr. LePar's) Bible class whole-heartedly, because in that then you get what is necessary, and you get it in a very clear picture without the hindrance of man's intellect."

We feel that this presentation offers a new perspective for all who are interested in spiritual growth.

Mr. LePar opens with a meaning for each of the 7 miracles, then gives details about Wedding Feast at Cana, throwing out the money changers, the New Temple, Nicodemus, the Samaritan woman and the Courtier's faith, each with its significance then and now. For those studying the Bible and the many levels of meaning within this is a must read.

The Following is an important excerpt from this publication:

"Chapter 2 to Chapter 12 is the first major section of the Gospel and is the revelation to the world. It is the beginning. What we will see here is the new order pitted against the old. John begins with a miracle that contrasts the law against the Gospel.

"John’s word for miracles is “sign” which means a wonder with a meaning in it. John always makes a point to bring out meaning and spiritual truth. Basically the seven signs and their general meanings are:

"Water into Wine – Chapter 2 – This story demonstrates the difference that Christ makes. Do you want water or wine in your life?

"Healing of Officer’s Son – Chapter 4 – Faith, the one thing that is needed in life. We must have the faith of a child who trusts in his parents to care for him.

"Healing of the Cripple – Chapter 5 – Christ the Restorer of lost powers. We once existed in and with the Divine. Christ shows us the way back to our rightful place with Him.

"Feeding of the Multitude – Chapter 6 – Christ, the Bread of Life. Without the example of Christ, we are lost souls. If we follow His example, we have eternal life.

"Walking on the Water – Chapter 6 – Christ our Guide. He will lead us along the path to our re-at-one-ment with our Father in heaven.

"Healing of the Man Born Blind – Chapter 9 – Christ the Light. He lights our way, shows us how to live so that we will return. He removes the darkness from the consciousness of mankind.

"Raising of Lazarus – Chapter 11 – Christ, our Life. We can be raised from the material hopelessness where we currently find ourselves, raised into the light of eternal life."

We, who have worked on this book, and the others in this series that will be published in the future feel that this series will become indispensable for any serious student if they are to develop a true grasp of John.
