It was only when this quality theological work was created in its final breadth after those years of thinking and writing that I gave myself the right to think that maybe in my soul I have Christ's order or mandate to give my specific theological contribution to the world for greater spiritual Light through this work. Namely, in order for a person to have spiritual and intellectual success, he must also be blessed by Heaven. And if I have a "relationship" with Christ, I do. I will boast in the Lord that long ago as a boy I experienced three related miracles in one day, in one hour. It was like this; while tending to a cow in the meadow on the Catholic feast of "Roku" (St. Rok) in my village around 1973, the biggest known storm occurred with the precipitation of large hail (hail, ice) that fell for about fifteen minutes. On that occasion, I slightly protected my head with an article of clothing that was not really any kind of protection from a large hail, but at that time I felt only minor blows from smaller hail on my hand. The cow had some minor bloody injuries on its back, which means that there was a much bigger fight around me that I was not even aware of. It was a great miracle that I wasn't hurt a bit. Mom cried when I came home and cursed herself for driving me out to the meadow in anger because I came home late from the village religious gathering and party to take the cow to pasture. Even though I was 800 meters away from home, my mother was not allowed to go out into the open storm and come to me to save me. It would have been dangerous for her when I later saw how large pieces of ice fell around my house and village, they could be collected in large piles with a shovel. She probably thought I was going to leave the cow and hide somewhere. But that didn't occur to me because I was aware that the cow could run away in fear, someone could catch it and appropriate it, and she was the breadwinner of a family of six of us. What else is left for God but to save such a stubborn child who is ready to lay down his life so that his five sisters would have food. That child in my smallness showed extraordinary bravery but also virtue.
At home, other miracles continued when I went to the orchard to see piles of ball ice on the grass because it was very interesting to look at and walk around it. First I had a vision of Christ in the sky among the clouds as a beautiful figure of a person with a beard and long black hair, and the clothes and mantle from the shoulders to the waist were a combination of purple, blue and red. A circular halo shone around his head. The vision lasted about 5 seconds. After that, in a few minutes comes the third miracle; first on the surface of the accumulated ice I saw a glittering multi-colored light, and then on many larger individual round pieces of ice I saw the forms of a human figure. When I got closer and concentrated to better see the individual balls of ice, I saw on each one a miniature image of Jesus that I had previously seen in the clouds.
For many years, I did not attach any importance to that experience, because at that time I had a naive boyish atheistic world view related to the prevailing communist-atheist ideology of the time and through their imposition of certain scientific knowledge in the upper grades of elementary school and the then known educational atheistic influence. But today, when I clearly see Christ God, who is the co-creator and co-sustainer of all creation with the Father, who pervades and sustains everything with his spirit, and is therefore the one who decides on the origin, action and movement of every atom and even the falling of every piece of ice, it is clear to me that Christ let me know through his figures in the ice balls that he protected me from that same ice because he, as God, is everywhere, that is, that all creation is in him as God and that he is in everything. And this work is dedicated to a new proof of Christ as God through explaining his property of omnipresence or omnipresence because he is the Holy Spirit. I explain the Holy Spirit himself as God in a new and broader theological sense. In this sense, this theological work is precisely a presentation or explanation of my boyhood experience with Christ. That is what Christ expects from me. The blessing of knowledge is here. Whether Christ expects me to write a book and offer it to the world, I don't know for sure.
Today it is clear to me why there were exactly three miracles in my experience described above; because they are connected to each other, meaningfully connected and support each other and prove each other as a God-given experiential value that at least I have to take seriously. The first event was a miracle, the second a reality and the third a spell of Christ through which he showed that he has his personal and impersonal aspect of existence, between which there is no difference. God controls everything. That's how Jesus decides the place of each drop of water from the cloud or each piece or piece of ice in my case. Only God is the all-pervading controller, and it is Jesus who appears in my experience as the one who was present in every ball of ice that fell from the sky in such a controlled manner. So with this

So with this I am going to be honest with you- I am skeptical of such visions and miracles. But that aside, let's look at what you say:
The halo is a symbol used to denote power and religious status. Mostly of Zoroastrian origin, it is widely used in paganism and Roman and Eastern Catholicism. In Egypt it symbolized fealty of powerful ones to Ra. That alone gives me pause. So I would ask, what is your purpose or intention? Do you have some message? Or like us, do you just seek the truth in scripture?

Redacted- see rule 13
Otherwise, I like themes around symbols because they are archetypes with a lot of universal knowledge. When you mentioned the religion of Zarathustra, it is interesting that they have, similar to the Jewish minora, a vessel with a painted light with seven flames. This marks that religion. If it is appropriate, I would post that topic somewhere on this forum (say where), because I am interested in how much Jews know about the symbolism of the minor!? Now I noticed that you are the moderator of this forum, so I should ask you...

Yes, I am a moderator. But I have always been active on the forum, unlike on most forums I've seen. I asked that question as a member because I wanted to keep it low keyed and just ask. If I asked as a moderator it would be a more serious conversation. Just FYI, when I speak as a moderator I use a grayish blue, as above in the quote.
What was it you wanted to ask me? If that was meant to be rhetorical, then my answer would be as I said: I. like most am here to learn the truth in scripture.

If you stopped because of the aura and its "paganism", then I will answer that too; aura in rainbow colors is mentioned in the Bible in several places, both around the heads of the saints and around their bodies. You can read in Ezekiel 1:28 as well as Revelation 10:1

First, a question: are you using a translation program? That might explain some of your posts. If so, please delete the non-English parts when you post. Thanks.
Ezekiel 1:26-28 26 And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance. 27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. 28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.
Ezekiel’s vision is the basis for part of Jewish Throne Room Theology. But the light here is all around him, not just his head. Going further, your second example is, while not technically a halo a bit closer to the mark:
Revelation 10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire.
You missed the best example; that of Moses’ face after seeing the glory of the Almighty. Not exactly a halo either, it definitely emanated from his head. Also:
Job 29:3 “Hilo [His light] aley roshi [is upon my head]”
Could be talking allegorically, or just mean enlightenment. But ...
Jewish mystical sources use the terms are “hila” (emanation of light) and “ohr hamakif” (surrounding/enveloping light).
Kabalistic texts make use of the “hila” and the “ohr hamakif,” They get quite detailed. But Kaballah is Jewish mysticism. It is not biblical, nor is it profitable for more than a cursory study. Not for the feint of heart nor the serious theologian (unless one is Orthodox Jewish).
So yes, I am a bit skeptical of visions of men (or gods) with halo discs, as those definitely are not biblical. And halos themselves are biblically suspect.

Another problem is obviously that I can't even read in English on this forum because the program automatically translates to my language of a non-English speaking country... Maybe I wouldn't even be able to write in English even if I knew it... and that would work through a translator, so there would be distortion. If you say that I should leave this forum as a writer, no problem, I will disappear in the form of a fog...

Just please delete the non English parts of your reply before you post it. I have to be able to read everything. Part of my job as moderator.

Drugi problem je očito to što ne mogu čak ni čitati na engleskom na ovom forumu jer program automatski prevodi na moj jezik zemlje koja ne govori engleski... Možda ne bih ni mogao pisati na engleskom čak i da sam znao to... i to bi radilo preko prevoditelja, pa bi bilo iskrivljenja. Ako kažeš da kao pisac napustim ovaj forum, nema problema, nestat ću u obliku magle... Ne, ne morate otići. Samo izbrišite dijelove odgovora koji nisu engleski prije nego što ga objavite. Moram moći sve pročitati. Dio mog posla moderatora. I can't post extensive and complex starter topics here because google translate will definitely not translate it well.
Let me brag to you - this is the title of my little book I'm writing;
I WILL GLORIFY MYSELF IN YOU ISRAEL
This or replacement theology?

This or replacement theology? If you are joining Israel and by that glorify yourself, then no, it is not replacement theology. But if you are saying you are Israel and glorify yourself by that then it would be replacement theology. The distinction here may be too fine a line for the translation app. To simplify- join Israel, ok. Replace Israel in any way- not ok.

HERE IS A LITTLE INTRODUCTORY TEXT:
In this offer of God, a blessing offer is offered to the nations on several levels. offer does not seem to be the right term here The first offer is the mediator Christ Christ is Greek for Messiah or, in Jewish terms, the Messiah. God humbles himself through Jeshua (Jesus) or the Son of Man who secretly it was no secret bears the attribute of YHVH.
Redacted- too many errors here, a sampling of which is in black above. It is difficult to translate using a computer program with complex topics like theology.
Also, books are supposed to be pre-approved before posting. And I can tell you that right now I do not have time or energy to read them, or especially to correct them. See rule 11
I suggest you go to the link below, copy the page to your computer and translate it there (not on the forum) so you are familiar with the forum rules and guidelines: theloveofgod.proboards.com/thread/2009/forum-rules-guidelines
