What Child Is This?

[GodlyD&D]

Mary said, "Yes. But what are we to do? Do you think we are to have her take them back with her? She came to see me and have the chance to meet you."

"And she does. She will now know there is a higher will for me to follow, and it would be for you and others. She knows now more about me than she does about most people in this village."

"Yeshua! You are really only a little child. You only turned five a little time ago. And you do not even talk like a child." Mary turned to her friend and close relative, Elishifa. "He really is like this a lot and it is hard for me to understand. But he is not like anyone else."

Elishifa said, "I an not hurt. I will take these things back. He is not hungry, anyway. But sometime maybe I can hear something about the different way he thinks is important explained to me."

Mary said, "You might come again and hear him. But don't be surprised that you might not really understand what he is telling us."

"Well as you say he just turned five."

"Yes, but it is not that, which I mean. I can't dismiss what he says, Elishifa. He does things with control that we cannot see how he does, and that he just turned five does not help me understand it with anything he says."

[GodlyD&D]

Elishifa just said, "Really?"

Mary said, "You really should hear him yourself. And he let me know he wants to talk with any in my family coming over. Just take that stuff back. I know you meant well. And come back here as soon as you can make it again. I want to still see you and talk with you. But you should have a chance to hear him. I can't describe it, but he should be heard."

Elishifa nodded, and then left taking the things she brought to share. Mary turned, and when the open way was closed, she said, "Yeshua, you know that was hard for me to turn her back. She would talk with when you let her come."

The child said, "She will come again, and shortly, she just should not have those things brought to us. I would speak of the higher will for us that would not be compromised here. It is for her to hear too. She will just not be back before another from your family is coming. But he will not be a stranger."

Mary looked at her child, and tried to figure out if she could understand him. There was then another knock at the doorway. She went there and opened up. "Oh, it is Uncle Baruch! Yes, this is no stranger!"

He said, "Yes, I am no stranger. Why would I be?"

"Yeshua says things that might be difficult to understand. He said it would not be a stranger coming now. But none who come are a stranger to me. He meant you are not a stranger to him. You met each other before."

"Of course. Might I come in?"

[GodlyD&D]

Mary gladly said, "You may sure come in. Right this way." She knew her child was expecting him.

Baruch, her uncle, said, "There he is. This young Yeshua seems to have saved my life. I was surely going to face death without getting any cure. I know you had a great deal to do with that, Yeshua." He turned his smiling face to Mary. "You really keep yours eyes on this one, and watch him. There will be much more to him, I know now."

Mary looked at him, and then said, "Tell me, Uncle. What is it that you know? I have already been seeing surprising things from him, ever since we were coming back from Egypt and almost here. But things he speaks are hard for me to understand. Maybe you can listen to him and explain things well, then."

Baruch said, "Really? Well, I will try." He went to sit by the young child.

[GodlyD&D]

Baruch said to young Yeshua, "You know then why I am here?"

The child said, "You are very thankful for your life that is still here. But there is more life to have with departing from here, far more than there is with what we have here. But your thanks are to go to our God. I would be glad to learn things, which will become available this day. But you should not think it was you that I expect I would learn from."

Baruch said, "I did think I should tell you my experiences after healing. But you already know about that, right? Then you know what I am thinking about who you are, too. Right?"

"It isn't time, while so many, even in this family, are not ready to learn about that, though they will at a later time. So it is better to not speak of it now, except with saying there is one who is special. What I am to yet learn is the art of reading from the writing on paper and parchments. With that there will be more to share, that is important. But you are not one to show me that."

"You are right. Not all of us have learned enough to do that. It is a rare gift and I am glad to know you would have that early."

[GodlyD&D]

The child said, "Then know I can see you and we can talk, a later time. This other one is about to come, and I should have all the time that is possible for what is needed, when he comes."

Baruch said, "I will then come later. You know I really do have things I will want to talk about, with you." He stood to leave."

Mary seeing this said, "I am sorry, uncle. Yeshua gets strange about things, but you seem to accept that. You have me curious about what you might think already that you said he knows."

As Baruch went out, he said, "Yes, I will need to say something about that, but it must be later too." And then he departed.

Mary said, "Wow. You saved his life, and now having him leave right after he came was quite cold."

Yeshua said, "Look. The one I wait for is already coming."
