WARNING: Dr. Ruckman's teaching are extremely weird and outlandish. For example he taught that man had water, not blood before the fall, and after the resurrection or re-birth we loose our blood to re-gain water. This seems a crazy stretch of imagination, but you are left alone with those 'damn' Bible passages pointing to this possibility. Very often we cannot accept the Bible because God's words destroy our human opinion and bias. Therefore we build a magic wand which is believed to 'spiritualize' any passage of that Book which destroy anything we built our identity on. Beside this, read till the end, and discover how, thanks the AV 1611, Jesus tells you plainly in your face that the Mary of the Catholicism, born "without sin", "mediatrix" and taken in heaven "without tasting death", is a devil:
".....Verses 2 and 3 are self explanatory. “Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come” (vs. 4).
Now “the fur hits the fan,” as they say in the American koine “Greek text.” Jesus Christ addresses His mother as He addresses a fornicating adulteress: “WOMAN.” Look at it in John 4. “Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father” (John 4:21).
To the horror of the “holy” Papa (Johnny, Pauly, Pius, Benedicty, et al.), Jesus Christ never refers to His own mother as His “mother” one time in four Bible books written by His biographers. And to add ghastliness to blasphemy, the only time anyone dares apply Mary’s prophecy (found in Luke 1:48), Jesus corrects them by saying, “You made a mistake, sister, I can tell you someone who is more blessed than Mary.”
“And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it” (Luke 11:27–28).
See that English text in an English Bible? Not one Pope in the Vatican with the Greek manuscript “Vaticanus” could find the verse between A.D. 500 and A.D. 2004. Fifteen hundred years of spiritual blindness. And you “ain’t seen nothing yet”! Wait till you get to John 2:17! Balls of fire!
“Mine hour is not yet come” (vs. 4). Jesus Christ’s response to Mary’s complaint (“they have no wine”) is absolutely enigmatic. No one within “hearin’ range” of His voice could have made the wildest guess as to why He said what He said. You and I could not have if we had been rabbinical doctors of the Law (Acts 5:34) with thirty years of formal education.
He is talking about supplying the wedding guests (Matt. 22:2–3,9) with His blood. He buys His own bride with blood (Acts 20:28; Eph. 5).
The Lord Jesus does not forget His “hour” once in the forty-two months of His ministry. Note in John 4:21, this “hour” includes worshipping God AFTER His resurrection. Since the resurrection is connected with His “hour,” He extends it to the resurrection of the dead (see John 5:25, 29). But the beginning of that “hour” is clearly His coming death on the cross (see John 12:23, 17:1, 13:1, 16:32).
Watch all 320 backslidden, Bible-correcting, “godly scholars,” Catholic and Protestant, miss the implications like Noah’s population “missed the boat.”
1. The first public miracle in the Old Testament is Moses turning water to blood.
2. The first New Testament miracle is Christ turning water to wine (a type of blood: see Deut. 32:14; Num. 6:3–4, and comments on Gen. 3:17 in that commentary).
3. It is “WATER and BLOOD” that leaves the Saviour’s corpse, and John declares that was a “SIGN” to Israel (John 19:34–36; 1 Cor. 1:22).
4. Since WATER is the first natural birth (John 3:5) and since Christ got His blood from His FATHER (Acts 20:28)—a supernatural birth—John’s “blood and water” (1 John 5:8) point out Christ’s two natures when He was here as a MAN.
And thus the old, “archaic,” Elizabethan King James AV of 1611 (in that edition and every edition since then—except the NKJV) reveals that Adam’s “blood” was WATER until he took the blood (which you now have) from a GRAPE on a “TREE” (Judg. 9:12–14; Gen. 3:3,6) from where all wine comes.
That is why it is “forbidden fruit” in Genesis 3, Numbers 6, and Judges 9, and why it is “cannibalism” to eat or drink BLOOD (Lev. 17:13–15; Gen. 9:4–5; Acts 15:20) unless you are a ROMAN CATHOLIC! (See comments on John 6:53–56.)
The Popes’ “rock” (see Deut. 32:31) is connected with “the grapes of wrath” and “bitter gall” (Deut. 32:32–33).
“Our Rock” is connected with “NEW WINE” (see comments on Matthew in that commentary, 1970) “found in the cluster” (Isa. 65:8), not the BOTTLE (Matt. 26:29). Ah, the fantastic riches of the inerrant, infallible English! How remarkable are its advanced revelations and its corrections of Greek and Hebrew texts. Its superior composition is absolutely unsearchable!
Verse 5 is self explanatory; that was Mary’s first and last message to every Roman Catholic who ever showed up after A.D. 325 and before the Rapture. Paul “got it right” at his conversion. He asked “Lord, what wilt thou have me TO DO?”
By the way, see the Greek texts of Mark 1:24 where the demons talking with Jesus Christ use the same speech Christ did in verse 4. It is identical to His speech to His “mother.”
“Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God” (Mark 1:24).
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece....(etc.)".
