The multiplication of loaves and fishes

In the Second Era, Jesus’ fame grew due to the virtue of His miracles, and even in this era, there are many that upon reading about the miracles which the Divine Master realized, still do not understand how the blind recovered their sight, the paralytics their movement, the dead their lives, and the possessed the light.

As our Father has explained in His Word, all these marvels that took place in a material form before the eyes of those who followed him, were necessary; it was important that the multitudes would get to know the authority that emanated from the Master, because the stubborness of those times, and their lack of spiritual elevation, would not have allowed them to recognize in another manner the Christ in Jesus.

Man, in his pride, has tried to explain throughout time how those marvels could have been realized; some have been satisfied to see them as unnatural acts, others have tried to explain as cases of collective hypnosis, and few very few, have accepted that it has to do with prodigies generated by the gifts that come from the spirit.

Amongst all of the miracles that were witnessed by men of those times, there is one which repeated itself twice, which even in these times of scientific discoveries and inter planetary voyages, could not be understood, neither for its importance as a spiritual message, nor for the magnitude it had in the material sense. Let us analyze the first time the miracle took place:

  “Then Jesus called his disciples unto him,
  and said: I have compassion on the
  multitude, because they continue with me
  now three days, and have nothing to eat;
  and I will not send them away fasting,
  lest they faint in the way.
  And his disciples say unto him; Whence
  should we have so much bread in the
  wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
  And Jesus saith unto them: How many
  loaves have ye? And they said: Seven,
  and a few little fishes.
  And he commanded the multitude to sit
  down on the ground.
  And he took the seven loaves and the
  fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them,
  and gave to his disciples, and the disciples
  to the multitude.
  And they did all eat, and were filled; and
  they took up of the broken meat that
  was left seven baskets full.
  And they that did eat were four thousand
  men, beside women and children�.
  Matthew 15:32-38

This is how the marvelous miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes: The infinite love of the Divine Master and His teaching of light woke the faith of the multitude which listened to Him producing the prodigy of multiplying the food, not as a result of a magical act, but as a result of a profound love, that moved the hearts of all those that heard the Master, and upon seeing that He and His disciples were willing to share with all the people around them whatever they had, opened their purses to also share with everyone the food that they carried.

As you can see, all the marvels in our lives are generated and explained through love.

Now, let’s analyze the spiritual meaning of these verses of the Second Testament:

The three days that the multitude spent with the Master, symbolize the three Eras that humanity would live. The seven loaves are the symbol of the Seven Seals that form our history, and that are contained in those three Eras. The fact that it deals specifically with loaves of bread is because bread is a symbol of the universal food, added by the fact that it is easy to make and it does not decompose easily. It is the clearest metaphor of the best food for the spirit.

The fish is the food that comes from the sea, and as the Father has explained, the sea symbolizes His teaching and His word. The fish are not counted; this symbolizes that what is given as an extra beyond a normal ration. This means that not only the spirit is benefited by the Divine word, but in addition, so is the matter.

The four thousand men represent four times one thousand; four symbolizes the four cardinal points, and the thousands, the whole humanity.

The seven baskets full of bread represent the promise that the spiritual food will be abundant until the end of time, until the Seventh Seal is concluded.
