Which King Came FIRST, the Father or the Son?
***What Does 1 Timothy 6:15 TRULY mean?
Here is 1 Timothy 6:12-16 from the KJV. “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:13. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
1 Timothy 6:14. That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Timothy 6:15. Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1 Timothy 6:16. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.”
Does 1 Timothy 6:15 PROVE that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the FLESH having two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH?
In other words, does this verse of Scripture prove that the Bible itself teaches that Almighty God Himself BECAME flesh?
Or does the Bible itself teach us that Jesus showed us the FATHER as the King of kings and the Lord of lords by God setting him as the King of kings and the Lord of lords for 1000 years in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.

The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that the Son OF God had a BEGINNING.
And since the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that the Son of God had a BEGINNING, then it is impossible for the faith in a triune Trinity Godhead to be the TRUTH, when Scriptures are interpreted correctly in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
So then, I want you to consider the question “Which came FIRST”?
Many of you have heard the paradox, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg”?
Well, the actual question is simply wanting the answer of which came FIRST?
But people get caught up in reasoning that you cannot have a chicken without an egg and you cannot have an egg without a chicken.
And thus, they never truly ANSWER the question of “Which came FIRST?”
So then, knowing and understanding that Almighty God CREATED the chicken to reproduce by laying eggs, then WHO came FIRST, the Father or the Son?
In other words, according to the Bible ITSELF, who ONLY has always possessed eternal life in Himself without ever having a beginning:
And who was GIVEN eternal life AFTER the cross and resurrection by the Eternal Spirit for his reward of obedience to his God and Father?
To say this another way, Almighty God the Father is the Eternal King, according to 1 Timothy 3:16.
And the Eternal King set or appointed the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be a King of Kings and Lord of lords billions of years later for the purpose of JUDGING the rebellious King of kings that the Bible calls Satan and the fallen angels.
So then, which King of kings came FIRST, the Father or the Son?
And does Jesus being given the TITLE of King of kings and Lord of lords PROVE that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh?
Let us now read the context of 1 Timothy 6:15, which Trinitarians Christians “INTERPRET” to be Jesus being called the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Please read 1 Timothy 6:12-16.
“Fight the GOOD fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto you are ALSO called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses. (Please read the study called Why God Needs TRUTHFUL WITNESSES!)
And also read Chapter 5 of Book 9 Numbers 35:30 God Wants More than ONE TRUTHFUL Witness!
1 Timothy 6:13. I give you charge in the sight of God, who quickens all things, AND before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
1 Timothy 6:14. That you keep THIS commandment without spot, not being able to be rebuked, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: (Always remember that Almighty God Himself MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross, according to Acts 2:36 and many more verses of Scripture)
1 Timothy 6:15. Which in his times (Speaking of both the first and second comings of Jesus) he shall show, WHO is the blessed and ONLY Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; (And Jesus came to show us the FATHER to be the ETERNAL King, according to 1 Timothy 1:17.
And it was the Eternal King who MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, to become His King of Israel to reign over the earth for 1000 years in the world to come.
Jesus did not come to bear witness of himself. But rather, Jesus came to show us the FATHER)
1 Timothy 6:16. Who ONLY has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has SEEN, nor can SEE: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen.”
And CLEARLY, the Bible itself teaches us that men have SEEN Jesus, and men have approached Jesus, but no MAN except for the Son of MAN, Jesus, has SEEN God, who is always clearly identified in the Bible as being the FATHER, according to Mark 12:29-34, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 4:6, 1 Timothy 2:5, and James 2:19.
Almighty God the Father is always clearly identified as being the God of the Apostle Paul, according to Romans 1:8, 1 Corinthians 1:4, Philippian 4:19, and every other verse of Scripture that Paul wrote.
Jesus and his Apostles call the Father their God in Mark 12:29 by saying OUR God.
And that same phrase “OUR God” is echoed all through the New Testament always referring to the FATHER from cover to cover.
In fact, there is only ONE verse of Scripture where Jesus is “INTERPRETED” only by Trinitarian Christians and Oneness Pentecostal Christians as meaning that Jesus Almighty God Himself in the flesh.
In other words, the phrase “My Lord and my God” which was spoken by Thomas AFTER the cross and resurrection must be INTERPRETED to mean that Jesus is Almighty God Himself as opposed to being correctly interpreted in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of God.
For you see, the TRUTH of the TRUE Gospel of salvation teaches us that Almighty God the Father Himself MADE the Son of MAN Lord and God AFTER the cross and resurrection.
For the true sound Biblical meaning of John 20:28 when it is correctly “interpreted” in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God, please read the study called U-2. JOHN 20:28 MY LORD AND MY 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.
