for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 35 The Father loveth the Son, and
hath given all things into His hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth
on him.’”

(Revelation Comments of Chapter 3)
(Born-Again or Spiritual Rebirth)
The statement of Born-Again only occurs three times in the 27 Books of the New
Testament. The statement Born-Again appears two times in the Gospel of John 3:3
and John 3:7; During a conversation between Lord Jesus and Nicodemus and this
is what happened. For it is written in the gospel of John:

Nicodemus came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, ‘Rabbi, we know that
thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou
doest, except God be with Him.’ Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily,
verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of
God.’ Nicodemus saith unto Him, ‘How can a man be born when he is old? Can
he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?’ Jesus answered,
‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again.’ (John 3:2 – 7)

The revelation that the Holy Spirit wants us to understand is that the born-again
event has nothing to do with the flesh of man, because the born-again experience
only occurs within the Spiritual Heart of man. But there is more than that to this
story and statement the Lord Jesus made that day to Nicodemus. Because the
scripture specifically states in John 3:2 that Nicodemus would only come to visit the
Lord Jesus at night. The reason being that Nicodemus was a religious Pharisee and
ruler of the Jews. Nicodemus was more concerned about protecting his own
reputation as a religious leader, than becoming a believer and follower of the Lord
Jesus as the Jewish Messiah of Israel.

The Lord Jesus knew the time and day would come for Nicodemus to make the
decision of accepting the Lord Jesus as the true Jewish Messiah of Israel. Thus
Nicodemus became a born again believer of the Lord Jesus on the day when He
personally helped Joseph of Arimathaea bury the crucified body of the Lord Jesus.
Nicodemus even brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound
weight and He and Joseph took the body of Jesus, and wrapped Him in the linen
clothe or shroud with the spices, as the manner of the Jews to bury. It should be noted
that Turin, Italy now holds the linen shroud that buried the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
actual laser photograph of the Lord’s body from the spiritual explosion of His
resurrection.
