Synopsis

Many things have fascinated humanity that have not been adequately explained or resolved. Why Jesus Christ came into the world when the Roman Empire had expanded its authority to Palestine, and with all His powers, allowed the Romans to crucify Him, is one of them. The reason for the crucifixion and the death of Jesus at Golgotha has been given many interpretations. The knowledge of the Father’s business that Jesus came to execute, the revelation of who Jesus Christ is, the elucidation of the Father that Jesus revealed, the understanding of the human destiny, and the Spirituality that Jesus introduced to the world, all depend on the truth of what was ‘finished’ at Golgotha. This book seeks to illuminate why Jesus allowed Himself to be crucified by the Romans. What was thought to be catastrophic and humiliating events in Jerusalem with the arrest of Jesus, were indeed well organized provocative acts to antagonize the Jewish authorities to take action against Him. Those provocative acts led to His crucifixion by the Romans. The book forayed into the deep secrets of Jesus’s last historic but spiritual journey to Jerusalem and the mysteries of Golgotha events that prompted and inspired Jesus Christ to allow the Jews to condemn Him to death and the Romans to crucify Him, without His offering any resistance. The objective and aim of God’s plan for humankind is to create humans as spiritual beings. The book delineates the Father’s business as a process that was set in motion for the continuation of that plan. That process is still going on even today. The Father’s business was a spiritual mission that concentrated as its main objectives: 1. the revelation of His Father. 2. the revelation of who Jesus Christ is. 3. the spiritualization and protection of human souls. The spiritual events at Golgotha, paved the way for the perpetual protection and perfection of human’s souls and for the continuation of the Father’s business to its glorious end. Its conception was spiritual. Its execution was also spiritual and involved many Spirits of the Universe. The manifestations are all spiritual. Human beings, who benefitted most from the Father’s business, were both spectators and participants in the cosmic battle of the Spirits that was executed at Golgotha. It secured victory for the Father, as it silenced the Spirits that influenced the Romans to build temples and worship them as gods and the goddesses in the Roman Empire. It enthroned His Father as the universal God. It enthroned Jesus Christ as the Lord of salvation for spiritualization and protection of the human souls. It opened the portals of heaven and for the first time in its history, humankind had a glimpse into the Spirituality that Jesus introduced to the world. It catapulted the perfected spiritualized human souls to the infinite Trinity of the human souls: the infinite bondage of the human souls with the Spirit of God and Jesus Christ. With the manifesto of Jesus’ crucifixion, death and resurrection, and with the power of His glorified Spirit, the apostles, Paul and others invaded the Greco-Roman Empire. When it was all over, the great Roman Empire embraced Christianity. The Spirit of the crucified and risen Christ, illuminated many hearts and awakened the divine potency in human souls, including the souls of the Emperors and the Roman people that crucified Him. What the Father’s business accomplished, as they unfolded, led humankind to unprecedented global spiritualization. It would continue to manifest all its divine imprints in human souls. In its’ irrepressible growth, it would advance and sustain the spiritualization and protection of human souls. During this era of prodigious spiritualization of human souls, many souls would be saved. However, more temples would be destroyed and many gods and goddesses would be silenced. The Spiritual Cross is still revealing some of its mysteries and will continue to accomplish its objectives to the end of time.

From Kirkus Reviews:

Enumah presents a treatise that focuses on the miracle at the very heart of Christianity: the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Like many scholars and theologians before him, Enumah raises essential questions in this book: Why did God allow Jesus to be crucified? What was the higher purpose of the tragedy? What does it mean for Christians today? After initially establishing a clever framing device, with comments addressed to "most excellent Theophilus", the book settles into a close and quite learned exploration of the death and Resurrection of Jesus. Overall, this fast-paced, extensively researched work aims to clarify God's "business," which is ultimately to "create humans as spiritual beings" through the death and Resurrection of Jesus. Enumah says that this treatise is "for the general public and for people of all religions," but it's obviously exclusively for Christians. The author asserts that Jesus' Crucifixion was the completion of God's "business," furnishing mankind with a variety of "spiritual tools" that can be found through diligent study of the Gospels. "You must search for these tools yourself," Enumah tells readers, but he offers a great deal of help, mixing confident textual analysis with personal anecdotes gleaned from his career as a surgeon. He also tells the story of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, and of how Jesus' provocative, antagonizing acts against the Jewish authorities were designed to prompt them to take action, so that his Father's "business" could be fulfilled in the Holy City. In this way, Enumah notes, Jesus' death and Resurrection comprised a "metaphysical drama" that also washed humanity clean of sin. The author's narrative, delivered in clear, emphatic prose, is straightforward enough to be useful to Christians who are new to textual exegesis, but it will also be thought-provoking for those who know their Scripture well. A careful, well-grounded explication of the Christian Passion narrative.
