We are still waiting for the Messiah. He hasn't come yet so he will not return. He will be a man, of the house of Judah. He will bring the exiles back to Israel and will usher in the Messianic Age which includes there being no more death. So there will be no need for him to be reborn. Otherwise and interesting piece.Scott Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951204207052095967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2909814477098868440.post-14796319558275700872014-06-09T21:23:05.357-05:002014-06-09T21:23:05.357-05:00I just enjoyed your podcast concerning King Solomo...I just enjoyed your podcast concerning King Solomon's temple.

Like a jensaw puzzle, these masonic men put together such a fabulous and intricate maze of stone- Can the classical mathematics and geometry between this new intersection that represents two new circles be seen as some allegory of rebirth? I think this quote from your post nails it ! Masons still believe in the perfection of architecture and the like!

I do like that fact that it allows bridges to any and all religions. Yours in the Faith Bro.

I am endlessly fascinated ...Thankyou for this post. I am endlessly fascinated on how we as individuals use language and even what official dictionary we use to instill our internal meanings of words. While I am not a Mason, I have spent endless hours appreciating what Masonic mythology and ritual are aiming for. In fact, my parents raised me a Roman Catholic. There too, and central to the Catholic ritual is life, death and rebirth. For a long time I tried to understand the Priest holding the Host with arms outstretched just before it is broken in half. The two half circles of Host are then held again to align as the vesica piscis. Can the classical mathematics and geometry between this new intersection that represents two new circles be seen as some allegory of rebirth?<br /><br />Could this part of the Catholic ritual, experienced by countless people for a very long time, remain a religious experience until it is understood as something more - like an abstract truth? http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/divine_proportion.html<br /><br />I have decided to try and stop using the word 'religion' because it only seems to shut down most people who come to the discussion prepared with their own idea of what religion is and where allegory and metaphor begin. <br /><br />Allegory.
