In this chapter, we will take even a CLOSER look at the true sound Biblical God INTENDED meaning of the phrase, “God GAVE His only BEGOTTEN Son”.
In other words, I will show you the Scriptures that prove John 3:16 should be translated as “God so loved the world that He RECEIVED His only BEGOTTEN Son”.
To say this another way, John 3:16 should be UNDERSTOOD as God GAVE His only BEGOTTEN Son for us to FOLLOW in his STEPS.
For you see, the Greek word that is translated as “GAVE” His only begotten Son has many meanings.
We have already covered the meaning of the Greek word “didōmi” as being “God so LOVED the world that He RECEIVED His only BEGOTTEN Son” up into heaven for the purpose of SEATING His HUMAN Son on His throne to rule in PEACE for 1000 years during the world to come.
Now, I fully realize that God GAVE His HUMAN Son to die on the cross for the sins of the world first. And then, God RECEIVED His only BEGOTTEN Son from the DEAD up into heaven to be GLORIFIED with the divine nature of immortality.
Thus, the Greek word “didōmi” can have a DOUBLE meaning like the Hebrew word “bara” means BOTH create and CUT DOWN.
And in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God, Genesis 1:1 carries the meaning of God CUTTING DOWN PART of heaven and the surface of the earth to made it WASTE and void.
Please read the study called D-29. A FRESH NEW Look at Genesis 1:1!
For you see, in Acts 17:29-31, we learn that the Godhead will JUDGE the world by the MAN whom He ORDAINED and raised from the DEAD.
Acts 17:29-31.
“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, (Speaking of Almighty God the Father, the source of all life) we ought not to think that THE Godhead (Still speaking about the one Creator God in ONE person who is the HIGHEST God or the HEAD God should NOT be thought of in the way that He) is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Acts 17:30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent:
Acts 17:31. Because He has appointed a day, in the which He will JUDGE the world in righteousness by that MAN whom He has ORDAINED; (In other words, Almighty God the Father ordained, appointed, decreed, determined and DECLARED that He will JUDGE the world.
And that includes the judgment of Satan and the fallen angels on a DAY in the future on the “horizon”.
And God is in the process of putting an end to ALL EVIL caused by His ENEMIES.
And the MEANS God CHOSE to do this is to JUDGE the world system controlled by Satan, the god of this present world, by way of that MAN whom He has RAISED from the DEAD.
And not just raised from the dead, but also GAVE the Son of MAN, eternal life and all power an authority to be DECLARED the SON of God with POWER and committed all judgment to the Son BECAUSE he was the Son of MAN, according to John 5:19-30, Romans 1:3,4, Matthew 28:18 and many other verses of Scripture) whereof He has given assurance unto ALL men, in THAT He has RAISED him (Speaking of the Son of MAN, Jesus, who of his own free will suffered and died on the cross for the sins of the whole world) from the DEAD.”
Now let us look at some of the other meanings of the Greek word “didōmi” that is translated as for God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His only BEGOTTEN Son.
For you see, the phrase “GAVE His only BEGOTTEN Son” can also mean that God REWARDED His only begotten Son to ENTER INTO GLORY.
I will first list how the concordance on BlueLetterBible.org defines the Greek word “didōmi”.
And then I will expound how some of these meanings fit perfectly with the now GLORIFIED Son of MAN, Jesus, AFTER the cross and resurrection, being BEGOTTEN from the DEAD and HIGHLY EXALTED by his God and Father to be MADE both Lord and Christ, according to Acts 2:36 and Philippians 2:6-11.

to commission
So then, starting from the bottom with these other meanings, God COMMISSIONED His human Son, Jesus, to be MADE Lord, according to Acts 2:36.
God GRANTED Jesus to be seated on His throne, according to Revelation 3:21
God gave Jesus as our EXAMPLE to FOLLOW in his STEPS, who did no sin, according to 1 Peter 2:21-24.
God CAUSED his soul to come forth out of hell, according to prophecy in Psalm 16:10,11 and the fulfillment in Acts 2:27-30.
God APPOINTED Jesus to the OFFICE of being a King, a Lord, and a God over the whole earth during the world to come, according to Hebrews 1:8,9, Hebrews 2:5-8, Hebrews 12:2, Psalm 2:1-12, and many other passages of Scripture.
God FURNISHED and ENDUED Jesus with all power and authority on high to make the fallen angels SUBJECT unto him, according to 1 Peter 3:22.
God REWARDED Jesus with the GLORY that He prophesied in His word that He would give His elect according to John 17:5.
God committed all judgment to Jesus so that all men would HONOR the Son even as they honor the Father, according to John 5:19-30.
God BESTOWED His righteousness to Jesus being pleased by the obedience of Jesus to do all the will of his God and Father, according to Philippians 2:6-11, Isaiah 61:10, and Hebrews 9:14.
So, you can see how the Greek word “didōmi” fits perfectly with the only BEGOTTEN Son from the DEAD to RECEIVE glory and POWER as the LAMB who was SLAIN in the mind and PLAN of Yahweh before the foundation of the world.
Revelation 5:12.
“Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN to RECEIVE POWER, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and GLORY, and blessing.”
So then, WHY did God prophecy in the Old Testament that all this would happen?
WHY did God HIGHLY EXALT a MAN to be SEATED on God’s throne at His right hand side?
According to Psalm 8:1-6, God did all of this to STILL His ENEMIES, the fallen Elohim, also known as Satan and the fallen angels.
Let us now turn our attention to the PREVIOUS AGE of the earth BEFORE the beginning in Genesis chapter 1.
Yes, the Bible itself does indeed teach us about the AGE of the earth BEFORE God created Adam and Eve.
Almost all Christians know, understand, and agree that God created the angels BEFORE God created Adam and Eve, according to Job 38:4-7.
But what all Christians have NOT been taught is WHY God created MAN and the Son of MAN.
Please read Psalm 8:1-6 where God clearly teaches us the REASON for WHY God created us.
Psalm 8:1-6.
“To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, (Or more correctly translated in the LITERAL translation from the Textus Receptus, Yahweh Lords of us.
Also, the LITERAL translation of Psalm 8:1 says, Yahweh our Lords in the PLURAL, as in, TWO Lords with the SAME NAME. The first Yahweh ALWAYS existed as Creator Yahweh.
And Yahweh the Father GAVE His NAME to His HUMAN Son, Jesus, AFTER the cross and resurrection to be MADE a Lord, according to Acts 2:36 and Philippians 2:6-11) how excellent is Your NAME in all the earth! Who has set Your glory above the heavens. (In other words, the Son of MAN, Jesus, gave glory to his God and Father during his ministry.
And as a reward for the OBEDIENCE of the human Son of God, Yahweh gave Jesus a NEW NAME and MADE him Lord over the earth for 1000 years during the world to come, according to Acts 2:36, Isaiah 58:8, Hebrews 12:2, Acts 2:28, Psalm 21:6, and Psalm 17:15)
Psalm 8:2. Out of the mouth of babes and suckling have You ordained strength BECAUSE of Your enemies, that You might STILL the ENEMY and the AVENGER. (The strength that Yahweh ordained is the GIFT of the Holy Spirit and POWER from on high.
But in order to RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Spirit, a person must BELIEVE and RECEIVE Yahweh’s GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH in His Son Jesus and what Jesus did for us on the cross)
Psalm 8:3. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; (Now, the reason that I highlighted the moon and the stars in green and in blue is because during a previous age of the earth ALL of the angels were GOOD angels.
And Yahweh SET or ordained some of His angels to become gods, or RULERS over different parts of the universe. And Lucifer was made a god of the earth. However, Lucifer and one third of the “stars” or the angels rebelled and waged a WAR against Yahweh and the rest of the good angels.
And the moon is a FIGURE of Satan, the lesser light of the children of the NIGHT. So then, consider the Elohim both the faithful gods and rebellious gods)
Psalm 8:4. What is MAN, that You are mindful of him? And the Son of MAN, that You visitest him? (And, according to Isaiah 50:4-7, Yahweh visited the Son of MAN, Jesus, morning by morning to TEACH him that the Scriptures prophesied of him)
Psalm 8:5. For You have MADE him a little LOWER than the angels, (In other words, God created or made MAN and the Son of MAN, Jesus, LOWER or inferior to the angels) AND have CROWNED him with glory and honor. (To be made Lord over the earth for 1000 years during the word to come for a REASON.
And the reason for WHY God created a new species of beings called the HUMANS to be made a little LOWER than God’s previous creation of the angels is for God to JUDGE Lucifer, aka or also known as, Satan, guilty as charged.
And, according to Acts 17:29-31, Almighty God the Father will JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels, along with those disobedient to the Gospel, by the MAN who He ordained and raised from the DEAD)
Psalm 8:6. You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet:”
The Hebrew word translated as “to STILL your enemies” means to rid His enemies, to put down or remove His enemies.
And it also carries the meaning of taking away the credibility of the enemy’s accusation against Yahweh.
Keep in mind that God’s NAME or character has been polluted or profaned by His enemy, the avenger, according to Isaiah 48:11.
Yahweh DEFENDS His name or character in Ezekiel 28:15, say to His anointed Cherub, you were PERFECT the day that I CREATED you.
So then, in order to clear Yahweh’s name or character of being BLAMED for CREATING Lucifer and the fallen angels as being FLAWED or NOT being “created” perfect, Yahweh decided to CREATE man and the Son of MAN a little LOWER or inferior to the angels.
In other words, Almighty God CHOSE to use a CREATION that He created perfect to be made INFERIOR to the Elohim in order to PROVE that what He CREATES is NOT FLAWED even though it is an inferior creation than the angels.
And thus, an inferior creation obeys God, then that will prove that any of His CREATURES that become corrupted, then it is the creatures FAULT and NOT Yahweh the Creator’s fault.
So then, if even ONE MAN or one HUMAN being lives a righteous life before Yahweh, then God will JUDGE the world or the AGE by the MAN that He ordained and raised from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31.
And that is why Almighty God Himself did NOT die on the cross as church TRADITION CLAIMS.
That man-made doctrine of God becoming flesh contradicts Numbers 23:19 and Hosea 11:9.
Now, WE as Christians, who believe in Jesus, shall ALSO judge the ANGELS, as in, the FALLEN angels, according to 1 Corinthians 6:3.
And we shall also be given the honor to help Jesus execute the WRATH of Almighty God at the coming of Jesus.
Psalms 149:5-9.
“Let the SAINTS (Or let the GLORIFIED holy ones, and Jesus is the FIRST GLORIFIED Holy One) be joyful in GLORY: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Psalm 149:6. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
Psalm 149:7. To EXECUTE vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
Psalm 149:8. To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Psalm 149:9. To EXECUTE upon them the judgment written: this HONOR have ALL his SAINTS. Praise you the LORD.”
All of the glory and praise goes to the Father. And, according to Revelation 5:8-10 and John 5:22-27, Jesus is WORTHY to receive praise, worship, glory, and honor, even as we give to the Father, BECAUSE he is the Son of MAN.
So then, there is far MORE to the MAIN theme in the Bible that is under the umbrella called SALVATION or God’s PLAN of SALVATION.
And it is those overlooked DETAILS that I want to expound upon in the next chapter and also the remaining chapters of this Book 1 The Bible Made SIMPLE to UNDERSTAND!
But before we begin chapter 9, let me give you a brief explanation that the rebellion of the angels was far more than just disobeying God to commit a sin.
Please know and understand that Lucifer and his angels that followed him waged a WAR against the other side of heaven, according to Deuteronomy 4:32, and Revelation 12:7-9, plus many other passages of Scriptures.
For you see, once you see, know, and understand that there are TWO Gods who are at WAR and that the FALLEN God of this present world is being JUDGED, then you can understand WHY God chose to use a HUMAN Son whom He CREATED or made inferior to the angels FIRST.
And then, God CROWNED His good and faithful WITNESS that He could TRUST to be made a Lord, a King, and a God over the whole earth during the world to come for 1000 years.
In other words, Jesus is the FIRSTBORN of every NEW creation of God, the FIRSTBORN from the DEAD, the FIRSTBORN among many BRETHREN, that will ALSO be made lords, kings, and gods to RULE and reign WITH Jesus for 1000 years, according to John 17:2-26, Revelation 1:5, and Revelation 3:21.
And the reason for WHY God is doing all of this is to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of His NEW creation, so that God can CLEAR His NAME that is being blasphemed by His ENEMIES, according to Psalm 74:10.
And after God clears His name, God can justly and righteously DESTROY Satan and the fallen angels in the lake of fire to be turned to ASHES so that EVIL will never rise again anywhere in the entire universe ever again.
Now, allow me to prove to you from the Scriptures that TWO Gods are at WAR and that BOTH deities are conforming man in THEIR OWN image.
When Almighty God the Creator LAID the foundation of the world or the AGE, God said to His counsel of Elohim, in Genesis 1:26, “Let us make man in OUR IMAGE and after OUR likeness.”
And then in the very next verse, Almighty God the Creator, the HIGHEST Elohim, the God of gods, created man ALONE and by Himself in the SINGULAR.
Since I already explain Genesis 1:26,27 in another study, I will jump straight to the point of WHY it is important to know and understand that there is no other god WITHOUT God making him to become a god under and subject to his Creator.
So then, all of the verses that are “INTERPRETED” to mean that there is only ONE God and no other gods are actually saying that WITHOUT God making them to become gods, then no other gods would exist.
For you see, the ANGELS are called the Elohim in Psalm 8:5, which is a PROPHECY of the Son of MAN Jesus and whosoever BELIEVES in the NAME of Jesus.
So, let us go ahead and read the LITERAL translation.
Psalm 8:5 from the LITERAL translation.
“And You are making him (Speaking of both MAN and the Son of MAN, according to verse 4) lack little from ELOHIM and glory and honor You are CROWNING him.”
And in Psalm 82:1,6, we learn that the HIGHEST Elohim stands in the CONGREGATION of the El and He JUDGES among the Elohim.
In other words, Yahweh the Creator is the Most High God of the gods that He set or made to be gods under and subject to Him.
This brings us to WHY Jesus called Almighty God the Father the ONLY TRUE God if there are more than just the Father who are called God.
Which, in truth, should be translated and understood as being the only TRUTHFUL God and Satan is the LYING god.

Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
