Zacchaeus Climbs A Tree
To See Jesus
October 13, 2000

Luke 19:2, And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

              3, And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

              4, And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. KJV

Zacchaeus, [who] was ascended is leviathan’s timeline, wanted to know who Jesus was, but his mind (press=vehicle) was not mature enough (stature) to understand. So Abel, the superior one (ran before) amongst him (untranslated-1519) came to the forefront (before) and ascended (climbed) into the higher centers of the fig tree (sycamore) within Z, and Z was permitted to cross over (pass) from leviathan’s timeline into Adam’s timeline, for the specific purpose of recognizing (see) that Jesus was messiah.

The fig tree signifies Israel, the carnal mind under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Luke 19:5-6

5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And when Zacchaeus entered into Adam’s timeline, he recovered his spiritual sight (looked up) and Jesus urging (haste) him said, Zacchaeus, throw down your fiery serpent, because it is necessary (must) that you dwell (abide) in the household of I [Am] today.

6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. KJV

and Z cast down [his fiery serpent], and Jesus admitted (receive) him [into the world of] calm delight (joyfully)
