156:6.4 During a brief [[conference]] with [[David Zebedee|David]] they [[learned]] that many [[leaders]] were then gathered together on the [[opposite]] side of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee lake] near [http://www.squarecircles.com/articles/joysastrip/joysastoryD3.htm Kheresa], and accordingly, that very evening a boat took them across. For one day they [[rested]] [[quietly]] in the hills, going on the next day to the park, near by, where [[the Master]] once [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_152#152:2._FEEDING_THE_FIVE_THOUSAND fed the five thousand]. Here they rested for [[three]] days and held daily [[conferences]], which were attended by about fifty [[men]] and [[women]], the remnants of the once numerous company of [[believers]] resident in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] and its environs.

156:6.5 While [[Jesus]] was absent from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] and [[Galilee]], the period of the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_155#155:4._ON_THE_WAY_TO_PHOENICIA Phoenician] [[sojourn]], his [[enemies]] reckoned that the whole [[movement]] had been broken up and concluded that [[Jesus]]' haste in withdrawing indicated he was so thoroughly frightened that he would not likely ever return to bother them. All [[active]] [[opposition]] to his teachings had about subsided. The [[believers]] were beginning to hold [[public]] meetings once more, and there was occurring a [[gradual]] but [[effective]] [[consolidation]] of the tried and true [[survivors]] of the great sifting through which the [[gospel]] [[believers]] had just passed.

156:6.6 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_tetrarch Philip], the [[brother]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod], had become a halfhearted believer in [[Jesus]] and sent [[word]] that [[the Master]] was [[free]] to live and [[work]] in his [[domains]].

156:6.7 The [[mandate]] to close the [[synagogues]] of all Jewry to the [[teachings]] of [[Jesus]] and all his followers had worked [[adversely]] upon the [[scribes]] and [[Pharisees]]. [[Immediate]]ly upon [[Jesus]]' removing himself as an object of [[controversy]], there occurred a [[reaction]] among the entire Jewish people; there was general resentment against the [[Pharisees]] and the [[Sanhedrin]] [[leaders]] at [[Jerusalem]]. Many of the rulers of the [[synagogues]] began surreptitiously to open their synagogues to [[Abner]] and his [[associates]], claiming that these [[teachers]] were followers of [[John the Baptist|John]] and not [[disciples]] of [[Jesus]].

156:6.8 Even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod Antipas] [[experienced]] a [[change]] of [[heart]] and, on [[learning]] that [[Jesus]] was [[sojourning]] across the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee lake] in the territory of his [[brother]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Tetrarch Philip], sent word to him that, while he had signed warrants for his [[arrest]] in [[Galilee]], he had not so [[authorized]] his apprehension in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perea Perea], thus indicating that [[Jesus]] would not be molested if he remained outside of [[Galilee]]; and he [[communicated]] this same ruling to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews] at [[Jerusalem]].

156:6.9 And that was the situation about the first of August, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_AD A.D. 29], when [[the Master]] returned from the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_155#155:4._ON_THE_WAY_TO_PHOENICIA Phoenician] [[mission]] and began the reorganization of his scattered, tested, and depleted [[forces]] for this last and [[eventful]] year of his mission on [[earth]].

156:6.10 The issues of [[Conflict|battle]] are clearly drawn as [[the Master]] and his [[associates]] [[prepare]] to begin the [[proclamation]] of a new [[religion]], the religion of the [[Thought Adjuster|spirit]] of the living [[God]] who dwells in the [[minds]] of men.
