Introduction to The Gospel of Nicodemus
This writing, or the nucleus of it, the story of the Descent into Hell was not originally part of the Acts of Pilate. It is -apart from its setting- probably an older document. When it was first attached to the Acts of Pilate is uncertain. The object of this prefatory note is to say that we have the text in three forms, [however, only the Latin A text will be given. For a complete listing of all three texts see M.R. James apocryphal New Testament].
I'm excited to bring this sermon to you as when I came across the information I was like OMG I can't wait to teach this. I praised Abba Yah for this Revelation and now here we go...also you will want to read the Rest of Nicodemus if you have not already. So much happened that I would post half the book.
I always wanted to know what happened to the people that Yahusha met when He Descended into Hell. As well as where the people He Resurrected with Him went. As they were Souls now alive never to die again as that is What the Final Resurrection is all about.
I always wondered about these types of things and that is why questions have answers. Our ancestors were not so different from us. They recorded everything. That is one reason I love archeology, It reveals what our ancestors saw and experienced in full picture, like in the Egyptians, Incas and Mayan time where it was all wall art. So how can it be that all of a sudden things just stopped? If we saw people rising from the dead, don't you think we are going to write, talk, and tell the story over and over? The answer to that question is yes, which is why most apocryphal books are called such because they don't want you to know the truth. That's what this sermon and a lot more to come will work on doing. Answering the questions with apocrypha text like: Tobit, Yahser, 1-4 Maccabees, All books of Ezra, The Acts of Peter and so many more.
Knowing the Truth Really Changes your Mindset and Brings You and Abba Yah closer.
