This means that Faramir is also the Holy Ghost (or the male counterpart in my current thinking). We have already identified him as Ether and Abinadi, I believe, in prior posts. Thus, with this understanding that Abinadi-Faramir is the Holy Ghost helps give greater clarity and perspective to just how evil Noah and his priests were.
"Who is Abinadi, that I and my people should be judged of him?" Noah asked in his anger. Well, Noah-Brigham, he is the Holy Ghost, and he will judge you again, I think.
It is of course evil to burn anyone to death, but the actions of Noah's court (minus Alma) demonstrate how past redemption they were and are, as they rejected Abinadi's words, called the Holy Ghost crazy, and condemned him to a fiery death. I hope others will note the irony in killing the Holy Ghost by fire. And perhaps we can also think of this as one specific sin against the Holy Ghost, though there are even worse things than this, unfortunately.
I will add one more name to Faramir here, and that is the name of Eonwe, the herald of Manwe, and I think this distinction will be important in somewhat understanding his future role. As mentioned elsewhere in my post on Melchizedek and Numenor, Eonwe was also named Fionwe at one point (meaning "Son"), and also was known by Urion, meaning "He of the Sun".
So, for those keeping score (or just trying to keep track of names... I know they start adding up and it can get confusing!), we have for this individual the following:
Holy Ghost
Eonwe
Faramir
Ether
Abinadi (a translated/ life-extended Ether)
Seer/ servant (unnamed, but will probably at some point bear Jesus' name, acting and speaking for him)
So, that is Faramir so far - there are actually a few names to still add there, but those are other posts. I am also trying to balance how many different names I refer to a being in a given post and not have it get too confusing. Perhaps for this post, I will leave it as Faramir, and readers can just remember that his identity extends to these other beings.
OK... so if all this is true, Faramir is the individual who will at some point have the Stone delivered to him. I have already written what happens at this point, with a story coming out, and then shared to another in Heaven. Two Recorders of the story, one on Earth and one in Heaven, putting together a combined story.
This Recorder in Heaven, then, will be none other than Eowyn.
Before going further, I will also add a name for Eowyn, and give my opinion that she is the being known as Ilmare, the handmaiden of Varda in Tolkien's writings. In Tolkien's writings Ilmare and Eonwe ended up as the dual chiefs of the Maia, and in earlier drafts were both the children of Manwe and Varda. This latter detail on their parentage is not quite correct, however. Ilmare-Eowyn would be the daughter of Manwe and Varda, while Eonwe-Faramir would be the son of Aule and Yavanna, and they would have been a couple then in Valinor, just as they became later as Eowyn-Faramir. Some of that might be important, but not for this post. For this post, I just wanted to call out that Eowyn was also Ilmare.
So, we have Eowyn in Heaven with her own adventure in pulling together another story, with her husband Faramir down on Earth in preparation to receive the Stone, extract the story, and share it back to her. Eowyn and Faramir were asked to separate (for not the first time in their stories) in order to carry out these roles, along with other specific actions which I will also have to use another post to dive into.
The Stone will bring them back together again, and just as their reuniting happened as darkness was defeated in the LOTR, so too will their reuniting in this next chapter of the story signal the return of light and the end of darkness.
In the LOTR, it was Faramir's love that ultimately healed Eowyn. In this next part, the roles will be reversed. Faramir - who will be in a marred state - will be healed by the love of Eowyn. And we all will be healed by the story that she shares, this being one of her wishes expressed at the end of LOTR - to be a healer. The message she will share, along with the stories that join with it, will defeat the Enemy without the need for any more swords.
Eowyn will use the Ithil Stone, I think, fully healed from its capture and service to Sauron - on her end of the communication. Faramir will once again play the role of steward as he watches over the Sawtooth Stone (which is really associated with Joseph and I think will be returned to him at some point), and ultimately uses it on his end of the communication. In the future, thinking speculatively, I think Faramir will receive and use the Anor Stone in the place of the Sawtooth Stone once he has returned it. I also believe that Faramir will return to Aman/ Eressea and reunite with Eowyn there, at least for a time, by virtue of these Stones. This, or some situation like this, is what Jesus meant at Bountiful when he said this servant would exalted and very high... he meant it quite literally.
[NOTE: I have since updated my view on the above paragraph, and now have Faramir using the Anor Stone, and not the Sawtooth Stone, in his communication with Eowyn. Refer to this post for my reasons.]
Having seen Eressea itself and perhaps now having greater understanding of just where the Family of Light will need to be gathered to, he will return and put things into motion that initiate that gathering, but he may then have to leave again, delegating the actual honor of declaring the message that gathers people to Hyrum-Merry, the Spokesman.
Anyway, one possibility or scenario to consider, at least.
