152:3.1 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_152#152:2._FEEDING_THE_FIVE_THOUSAND feeding of the five thousand] by [[supernatural]] [[energy]] was another of those cases where [[human]] [[pity]] plus [[creative]] [[power]] [[equaled]] that which happened. Now that [[the multitude]] had been fed to the full, and since [[Jesus]]' fame was then and there augmented by this stupendous [[wonder]], the project to seize [[the Master]] and [[proclaim]] him [[king]] required no further [[personal]] direction. The [[idea]] seemed to spread through the crowd like a [[contagion]]. The [[reaction]] of [[the multitude]] to this sudden and spectacular supplying of their [[physical]] needs was [[profound]] and overwhelming. For a long time [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews the Jews] had been taught that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism the Messiah], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidic_Line son of David], when he should come, would cause the [[land]] again to flow with milk and honey, and that the bread of life would be [[bestowed]] upon them as [[manna]] from [[heaven]] was supposed to have fallen upon their [[forefathers]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna#Biblical_description the wilderness]. And was not all of this [[expectation]] now fulfilled right before their eyes? When this [[hungry]], undernourished multitude had finished gorging itself with the [[wonder]]-[[food]], there was but one unanimous [[reaction]]: " Here is our [[king]]. " The [[wonder]]-working [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Messianism deliverer of Israel] had come. In the eyes of these [[simple]]-minded people the [[power]] to feed carried with it the [[right]] to rule. No [[wonder]], then, that [[the multitude]], when it had finished feasting, rose as one man and shouted, " Make him [[king]]! "

152:3.2 This mighty shout [[enthused]] [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and those of [[the apostles]] who still retained the [[hope]] of seeing [[Jesus]] assert his [[right]] to rule. But these [[false]] [[hopes]] were not to live for long. This mighty shout of [[the multitude]] had hardly ceased to [[reverberate]] from the near-by rocks when [[Jesus]] stepped upon a huge stone and, lifting up his right hand to command their [[attention]], said: " My [[children]], you mean well, but you are short-sighted and [[material]]-[[minded]]. " There was a brief pause; this stalwart [[Galilean]] was there [[majestic]]ally posed in the [[enchanting]] [[glow]] of that eastern [[twilight]]. Every inch he looked a [[king]] as he continued to speak to this breathless multitude: " You would make me [[king]], not because your [[souls]] have been lighted with a great [[truth]], but because your stomachs have been filled with bread. How many times have I told you that my [[The Kingdom|kingdom]] is not of this world? This [[kingdom of heaven]] which we [[proclaim]] is a [[spiritual]] brotherhood, and no man rules over it seated upon a [[material]] [[throne]]. [[My Father]] in heaven is the all-[[wise]] and the all-powerful Ruler over this [[spiritual]] brotherhood of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:5._MORTALS_OF_TIME_AND_SPACE sons of God] on [[earth]].

Now all of you go hence to your own [[homes]]. If you must have a [[king]], let [[the Father]] of lights be enthroned in the [[heart]] of each of you as the spirit Ruler of [[all things]]. "

152:3.3 These [[words]] of [[Jesus]] sent [[the multitude]] away stunned and disheartened. Many who had believed in him turned back and followed him no more from that day. [[The apostles]] were speechless; they stood in [[silence]] gathered about the twelve baskets of the [[fragments]] of [[food]]; only the chore boy, the Mark lad, spoke, " And he refused to be our [[king]]. " [[Jesus]], before going off to be alone in the hills, turned to [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and said: " Take your brethren back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebedee Zebedee]'s house and [[pray]] with them, especially for your [[brother]], [[Simon Peter]].
