Jesus Was Anointed at His Baptism and MADE Christ at the CROSS!
In part 1 of this series of studies, we learned the true sound Biblical FOUNDATION of the church.
We learned that Jesus was ordained by God to be the builder of God’s HOUSE or God’s CITY called Mount Zion.
We also learned that Almighty God the Father REVEALED to the Apostle Peter that Jesus is the CHRIST, the Son of the living God.
And we learned that Jesus said to Peter that upon THIS ROCK Jesus would build his church.
And thus, we learned that the revelation knowledge that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God is the TRUE sound Biblical FOUNDATIONAL teaching of the church that we are to believe and teach to others.
Therefore, we should never add or take away form God’s INTENDED truth that is states in SIMPLICITY in the Scriptures.
We also learned in part 1 that Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of PROPHECY and that Yahweh is the wise master builder who performs or fulfills His own spoken word of prophecy.
And thus, we learned that Jesus is the WORKMANSHIP of Yahweh the MAKER of Jesus who MADE Jesus both Lord and Christ, according to Acts 2:36.
Now, in part 1 of this series of studies, I did not take the time to write out that Scripture for you, so let us go ahead and read Acts 2:36 now, just in case you did not look it up on your own after you finished reading part 1.
Acts 2:36.
“Therefore, let all the house of Israel KNOW ASSUREDLY, that God has MADE that same Jesus, whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Now, since the Bible itself clearly teaches us that we are to KNOW ASSUREDLY that God MADE Jesus to become both Lord and Christ, then to me, the church OUGHT to be teaching this sound Biblical truth as part of the CORE CENTRAL FOUNDATION of the church.
I understand that some Christians may say that they have been taught by their church denomination that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and that is true with almost every Christian.
But do all Christians KNOW ASSUREDLY that it was Almighty God who MADE the human Son of MAN, Jesus, to become both Lord and Christ by INHERITANCE?
And do they know WHY God made His human Son to become His Lord and His Christ?
In other words, do you TRULY believe that Jesus was 100% a human being who could do NOTHING of himself, according to John 5:19,30?
If you remember, in part 1 of this series of studies on the true foundation of the church, I told you that I would explain the HIDDEN prophecy found in Isaiah 22:19-23.
Now, the reason that God hid secret prophecies about the coming of His future Messiah is because God knew that if His enemies, Satan and the fallen angels, had known God’s plan of salvation, then they would not have crucified God’s Lord of glory, according to 1 Corinthians 2:6-16, which you can read on you own later.
But for now, let us read Isaiah 22:19-23.
“And I will drive you from your station, and from your state shall he pull you down. (Please notice that there are THREE different persons or beings in verse 21 that are being discussed in this passage of Scripture. Yahweh the Creator is doing the PROPHESYING about Satan being driven out from his station.
But God will use His Messiah, Jesus, to pull Satan down from his state of being the god of this present world and bind him in the bottomless pit for 1000 years)
Isaiah 22:20. And it shall come to pass in THAT DAY, that I will call My SERVANT Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: (Now, the reason that God HID His plan of salvation in the MEANINGS of the names is so that His enemy would indeed for sure crucify His messiah.
And that is why Jesus told Peter and the other Apostles, in Matthew 16:20, to tell no man that he is the Messiah.
For you see, Jesus had not yet been crucified to be MADE God’s Messiah.
And had the principalities of this world known God’s SECRET plan of salvation, then they would have not stirred up the Jews to have the Roman soldiers crucify Jesus.
And thus, Jesus would have never been made the Lord of glory to become the God of the whole earth to JUDGE and pull down Satan for his state.
In other words, the TRUE foundational teaching of the church is that God chose to use a MAN made a little LOWER than the angels to be His Christ.
And then, God would CROWN His human Son to RECEIVE glory and honor to be MADE His Lord to pull down His enemy, Satan.
For you see, Acts 17:29-31 clearly teaches us in simplicity that God will JUDGE the world by the MAN who He ORDAINED and raised for the dead.
Now, the name Eliakim is a compound name of two Hebrew words, “El” and “qum”, which together mean God of raising.
The Hebrew word “El” means God and “qum” means to rise or to be raised from the dead.
It also means to accomplish, to succeed, to enjoin, to help, and to be dearer.
Now to me, all of these meanings fit the TRUE Jesus perfectly.
Jesus is dearer to God than Lucifer because Lucifer rebelled against God and Jesus was obedient to do all of the will of his God and Father.
And thus, Jesus ACCOMPLISH the task that God sent him to do.
But what about the name “Hilkiah”, the father of Eliahim? Hilkiah is also a compound Hebrew name that means PORTION of Jah.
And the Strong’s number H2506 means that Jesus is being prophesied to be made a partaker of a PORTION of Yahweh through INHERITANCE, which agrees perfectly with the FULFILLMENT of prophecy quoted in Hebrews 1:4-9.
To make things easier to follow along I will highlight the pronouns referring to Yahweh in orange, the pronouns referring to Jesus is light blue, and the pronouns referring to Satan in green.
And remember that these verses of Scripture are PROPHECY)
Isaiah 22:21. And I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Isaiah 22:22. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Isaiah 22:23. And I will fasten him as a NAIL in a sure place; and he SHALL be for a glorious throne to his father's HOUSE.”
We know from other prophecies in Isaiah 9:6,7 and Daniel 7:9-14 that the kingdoms of this world will be given to Jesus to rule over in the world to come.
And, according to 2 Corinthians 4:4, we know that Satan is the god of this present world who has blinded the minds of those who do NOT believe the TRUE gospel of Jesus as being the CHRIST..
Also, please know and understand that God HID this prophecy of the SPIRITUAL war WITHIN another prophecy of a PHYSICAL war that will take place during the 3 1/2 years of the great tribulation in the land of Israel.
And in that day, the man of sin controlled by Satan will drive out the Jews from their land and take over Israel.
And at the end of the tribulation of those days, Jesus will return and fight against those armies to PULL down both the PHYSICAL and the SPIRITUAL powers and God will set Jesus as the King over not only Israel but the WHOLE earth.
Now, when we interpret verse 23 in the LIGHT of Philippians 2:8-11, then we can see that the phrase “I will fasten him as a NAIL” is a prophecy of God’s anointed SERVANT Eliakim, or the servant of God.
We also know that God raised up His servant from the dead, whom He ordained through prophecy to be nailed to the cross.
And God did that it order for His HUMAN Son to be MADE to BECOME both God’s Messiah and His Lord to rule in the world to come for 1000 years.
So then, to me, this prophetic passage of Scripture in Isaiah 22:19-22, teaches us the “BIG PICTURE” for WHY God created man and the Son of MAN a little LOWER than the angels.
And that big picture is that God will use Jesus and those of us who are found to be FAITHFUL witnesses to JUDGE the ANGELS, according to Acts 17:29-31, and 1 Corinthians 6:2,3.
This does not mean that we will literally judge Satan and the fallen angels, like a judge at a trial, but rather, it means that God will use us and His FAITHFUL WITNESSES to judge Satan and the fallen angels.
In other words, God will judge Satan, the fallen angels, and those found unworthy in the world by or THROUGH His faithful and true WITNESSES.
And Jesus is the FIRST faithful and TRUE witness, according to Revelation 3:14 and Revelation 1:5.
Please read Revelation 3:14.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things says the Amen, the FAITHFUL and TRUE WITNESS, the BEGINNING of the CREATION of God,”
Please notice that the Bible itself clearly teaches us that Jesus is the BEGINNING of the CREATION of God.
Now, to me, the phrase, “the creation of God” means that Almighty God Himself is the creator of His CREATION.
And the phrase, “the faithful and true witness” is the REASON for why Jesus became the BEGINNING of God’s CREATION.
Simply put on your thinking caps and ask yourself the question, “WHAT creation is Revelation 3:14 referring to?”
#1. Is Revelation 3:14 referring to God’s creation in the eternity past?
#2. Is Revelation 3:14 referring to God’s NEW creation of His NEW CREATURES of righteousness?
To me, the CORRECT answer is God’s NEW creation of NEW creatures of righteousness and Jesus is the FIRST faithful and true WITNESS to be made in the IMAGE of the invisible God to become the firstborn from the dead, the firstborn of every creature, the firstborn among many BRETHREN.
For you see, why would God need a faithful and true witness to BEGIN the original creation of God in the eternity past.
I mean, WHAT would the Son of God be a faithful and true witness of to be the beginning of the original creature?
For you see, there would have been no creation to be found as a true and faithful witness in order to begin the creation of God in the eternity past.
So, to me, Jesus being the creator of God’s creation in the eternity past makes no logical sense.
But, when we COMPARE Scripture with Scripture and compare the phrase “faithful witness” in Revelation 1:14 to the same phrase “faith witness” in Revelation 1:5, then we see that Jesus is described as being the FIRST BEGOTTEN from the DEAD as to WHEN Jesus was found to be God’s first faithful and true witness.
Revelation 1:5.
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”
So then, to me, Jesus being MADE by God to be a little LOWER that than angels FIRST, and then after his obedience to accomplish doing all the WILL of his God and Father, even to suffer and die on the cross.
Then after the cross and resurrection, Almighty God CROWNED the Son of MAN, Jesus, with glory and honor to be MADE God’s Lord and Christ. And that makes perfect sense.
And thus, it makes perfect sense as to WHY God will JUDGE the world by the MAN that He ordained and raised from the dead.
Please read Acts 17:29-31.
“For as much then, as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead 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; whereof He has given assurance unto all men, in that, He has raised him (Speaking of the anointed Son of MAN, Jesus) from the dead.”
Here in this passage of Scripture in Acts 17:29-31, we can clearly see that the Godhead is the one true God is ONE person who alone is the Father of the Son of MAN, Jesus.
And we also clearly see that it was the Godhead Himself in ONE person who ORDAINED and RAISED His human Son from the dead.
Can you not see that Almighty God the Father is the JUDGE who will judge the word by or through the MAN, Jesus, that He prophesied to be resurrected from the dead to be MADE Yahweh’s Lord and Christ after the resurrection?
If not, please read Romans 1:3,4 where we again see that it was AFTER the resurrection that Jesus was declared to be the Son of God WITH POWER by the resurrection.
Romans 1:3,4.
“Concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was MADE of the seed of David according to the FLESH;
Romans 1:4. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:”
With that being said, the Greek word “Christos” that is translated as the “Christ” 571 times in the New Testament in the King James Version.
It is interesting to me that the number 571 is a prime number and that the Strong’s number H571 means FAITHFUL and TRUE.
It also means TRUTH and TRUE DOCTRINE. And it is also interesting to me that the Hebrew word “emet” is a contraction of H571, which is Strong’s number H539, the Hebrew word “aman”. Now, when “aman” is pronounced, we hear “a MAN”.
And God’s Christ is a MAN, according to the Bible itself.
But it gets even more interesting than that when we read the passages of Scripture where H539 is translated as the word “faithful” which you can do on your own.
Here are some Scripture references which I may or may not cover in a future study. (Numbers 12:7 / Deuteronomy 7:9 / 1 Samuel 2:35 / 1 Samuel 22:14 / Nehemiah 7:2 / Nehemiah 9:8 / Nehemiah 13:3 / Psalm 31:33 and Psalm 89:34-39.
And remember that God HIDES prophecies WITHIN prophecies which Bible scholars refer to as DUAL fulfillment prophecies.
But for now, I will just quote one of those dual fulfillment prophecies.
The physical side speaks of the literal King David, and the “spiritual” fulfillment TESTIFIES of Jesus.
Please read Psalm 89:34-39.
“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
Psalm 89:35. Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
Psalm 89:36. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
Psalm 89:37. It (Speaking of the FULFILLMENT of the PROPHECY that went out from the lips of Yahweh that the SEED of King David) shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a FAITHFUL WITNESS in heaven. Selah. (The Hebrew word “selah” means to pause and THINK about what you just finished reading or to WEIGH what it means)
Psalm 89:38. But you (Speaking of the children of Israel who were, and still are, in unbelief that Jesus is their Messiah. You) have cast off and abhorred, you have been wroth with your ANOINTED. (For you see, the unbelieving Jews wanted to kill Jesus because they did NOT believe that Jesus was their Messiah.
The Hebrew word translated as ANOINTED is “Mashiyach” which means Messiah.
So then, one of the meanings of the Greek word “Christos” that is translated in the New Testament as the Christ, called Christ, Jesus Christ, and Christ Jesus means the Messiah, called the Messiah, Jesus Messiah, and Messiah Jesus.
But the Greek word “Christos” also means ANOINTED, which I will explain in a moment)
Psalm 89:39. You have made void the covenant of your servant: you have profaned his CROWN by casting it to the ground.”
The Jews knew that God promised or PROPHESIED to raise up a Messiah to deliver them.
When we look at the genealogy in Matthew 1:1, we see that David is the Son of Abraham.
But we know and understand that Abraham himself did not directly bear a son named David.
And likewise, Jesus being the son of King David simply means that Jesus was born of a woman in the LINEAGE of King David which we find in Luke 3:23-38.
And Luke 2:4 teaches us that Joseph was ALSO of the lineage of King David, which we find recorded in Matthew 1:1-17.
And that is why there are two linages of Jesus that differ slightly from each other.
Now, we all know and understand that God ANOINTED Jesus with His Holy Spirit and power at his baptism by John the Baptist.
If you have not been taught this sound Biblical truth, then please read Luke 4:1 where we see Jesus RETURNING from the River Jesus being FILLED with the Holy Spirit and POWER, according to Acts 10:38.
Luke 4:1.
“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost RETURNED from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,”
Right after his baptism the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.
And, according to Hebrews 9:14, Jesus overcame all temptation to sin to offer himself up to God without any spot of sin THROUGH the power of the ETERNAL Holy Spirit who dwelt in him.
Now skip down to Luke 4:14-21.
“And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Luke 4:15. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Luke 4:16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke 4:17. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, (Or Jesus found the place in the book of Isaiah in Isaiah 61:1,2, the Scripture that PROPHESIED of him as being the ANOINTED one that God promised to raise up from among the people to PREACH the GOSPEL)
Luke 4:18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has ANOINTED me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luke 4:19. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke 4:20. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luke 4:21. And he BEGAN to say unto them, THIS DAY this Scripture is FULFILLED in your ears.”
So then, the FIRST anointing of Jesus was at his baptism in water, and that anointing was to EMPOWER the Son of MAN, Jesus, to PREACH the gospel, heal the sick, and to OVERCOME all temptation to not sin.
And the SECOND anointing of Jesus was after the cross when God ANOINTED the Son of MAN, Jesus, to be ABOVE his FELLOWS, according to Hebrews 1:9.
Always remember that the FOUNDATION of the church is the doctrine or the teaching that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And never forget that the foundation was laid by Almighty God Himself, His Son Jesus, the Apostles of Jesus in the first century, and the PROPHETS or the PROPHECIES in the Old Testament Scriptures.
Therefore, any and every INTERPRETATION of the Scriptures in the New Testament must AGREE with the PROPHECIES in the Old Testament.
And if there are NOT any prophecies the support the INTERPRETATION of the New Testament Scripture, then I would beware of those man-made “interpretations” such as the TWO natures of Jesus at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH, one divine, and one human.
First of all, there is not one verse of Scripture in the New Testament that teaches us that Jesus had two natures at the SAME time DURING the days of him FLESH.
And secondly, there are no PROPHECIES that prophesy of a God the Son coming down from heaven to become a man, let alone, become a man but yet remain the fully Almighty God Himself in the flesh.
That teaching is the Orthodox Church TRADITION invented by the Roman Catholic Church.
And it took over three hundred years to form and ENFORCE that man-made doctrine.
So then, you must decide whether or not you are going to believe and teach what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY.
Or you must decide to chose to hold on to the TRADITIONAL orthodox Trinity theory that took over three centuries to be forced upon the church with the threat of excommunication from the church, exile, persecution, torture, and even death for rejecting the doctrine of the Trinity.
I myself have chosen to no longer believe that doctrine of the Trinity by choosing to believe only what the very Apostles of Jesus teach us concerning Jesus being the FULFILLMENT of the Scriptures be brought into existence where he never existed before, except in the MIND and PLAN of Almighty God.
Please read 2 Samuel 2:34-36.
“And this shall be a sign unto you, that shall come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them. (The Hebrew name “Hophni” means to fight, to be a contender.
In other words, in means one who chooses war and fighting to settle conflict.
And the Hebrew name “Phinehas” means the mouth of the serpent. And the phrase “in one day” is a prophecy of both WAR and the MOUTH of Satan shall die twice at the time of the 1000 year long day of the Lord.
In other words, Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, will end all wars, fighting, and violence for 1000 years and the MOUTH of Satan will be killed or silenced for 1000 years.
That first death is temporary because Satan will be let lose out of the bottomless pit after being bound for 1000 years.
And Satan will deceive the nations on final time to make WAR against God’s people, according to Revelation 20:7.
And then comes the final Day of Judgment to destroy Satan, the fallen angels, and all people whose chose the WAYS of Satan will be cast into the lake of fire to be destroyed, which is called the SECOND DEATH, according to Revelation 20:7-15)
2 Samuel 2:35. And I will raise Me up a FAITHFUL priest, that shall do according to that which is in My heart and in My MIND: and I will build him a sure house; (Or I Yahweh will bring My Messiah, Jesus, a FAITHFUL body of believers and followers of My Messiah) and he (Of you of the children of Israel left alive after My wrath to be My REMNANT) shall walk before My ANOINTED for ever. (Again, the word “anointed” is translated from the Hebrew word “mashiach”, which means God’s Messiah)
2 Samuel 2:36. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is LEFT in your house shall come and crouch (Or bow down) to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray you, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.”
Remember that God prophesied that He would provoke the children of Israel to JEALOUSY.
And to me, the REMNANT of Israel will see the faithful house of Jesus, his church be made kings and priests to rule and reign with Jesus while they are cast out into outer darkness to remain in the mortal bodies and are not allowed to enter into the city God, according to Revelation 22:14,15.
So then, PROPHECY is what God SPEAKS out from His MOUTH that was WITHIN His heart and MIND and His PLAN of salvation to bring forth into existence His Messiah. And that is the TRUE Jesus of the Bible.
We will continue part 2 of this series of studies to learn the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church by TRYING the spirits to see whether they are of God are whether they are of Satan to be antichrist doctrines of devils.

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.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
